Suneater is cool and Mirio is a good friend.

As a manga reader, this entire arc was really confusing in print. At the time, we were talking about how it'd probably be much clearer in the anime, and it didn't disappoint. What I'm saying is that I had high expectations for this episode, and it absolutely met them.

I do appreciate that the series keeps on bringing up just how hosed up quirk society can be.

This episode confused me as to how Eraserhead's quirk works. I thought he had to be looking at them for it to work and stopped working the second he looked away or blinked but Larceny still couldn't use his quirk even after Eraserhead left the room.

Yeah that was weird, I distinctly remember it stops working after he blinks or loses line of sight. Also Suneater is so cool

There was sn explicit mention from Eraserhead of "I used my quirk on them, l bind them before the effect wears off." Hence the confusion. It could be a deliberate misdirection on Eraserhead's part, but it doesn't seem to be portrayed that way.

Man these episodes always feel so short. Preview makes the next one look the same way. Maybe I should just wait til the season is over.

I like that even with being a super shy guy, Suneater gets pretty hosed up in this fight and doesn't even care. His quirk really is kind of OP and you can see why he's in the Big Three.

His quirk really is kind of OP and you can see why he's in the Big Three. His quirk is powerful, but it's not like it's just naturally powerful. We saw him in middle school struggling to grow a single normal-sized bean sprout from his hand. To go from there, to strong enough to get into UA, to where his power is now must have taken some pretty serious training. He's clearly put a lot of work into it.

Yeah if he's able to make all those giant tentacles from a little takoyaki he must have done some serious training. I like how super powers are just a part of people's bodies in this show, and the world makes a little more sense when not everyone's quirk is worth putting that much effort into.

Mirio is also OP and similarly its because his quirk becomes nigh unbeatable once fully mastered. I just meant that you can see why this guy is in the top 3 of all UA students.

Now I'm imagining staring contests as part of his quirk training. Also I bet his costume comes well stocked with eye drops

PMush Perfect posted:They also make a point, though, that some quirks that start lovely as hell can become incredible when properly trained. Mirio's started as basically a joke power, but by his senior year, he's refined it so well that 1-A calls it OP. It makes an interesting point about how some people start with clear and obvious advantages, but this isn't a typical anime situation where no matter how much you train, you're never going to keep up with the Special Ones. Broadly true, but with two exceptions: All For One and All Might.

Dr Subterfuge posted:Broadly true, but with two exceptions: All For One and All Might. This had me realize something about All For One: he can take any quirk he wants, but won't necessarily be any good at using it. Do you think if he took Suneater's power, he'd be able to manifest anything better than a sprout? If he took Mirio's, would he get stuck in walls? Not to mention All For One didn't seem like someone who would want to get naked just to use a quirk. This makes me think that for all his power, All For One is lazy. He has tens, perhaps hundreds of quirks: would he want to deal with ones that require practice to master, or ones with strange flaws or requirements? Easier to just find and stock up on the ones that are obviously and immediately powerful, which is why when he had his big fight last season, he most stuck to the fundamentals: strength increasing, air blasts, etc. Nothing weird, wacky or unexpected, because it'd be too much of a hassle. On the other hand, from what we've seen with Deku, the power of One for All is overwhelming, but requires considerable, constant training to use. If Deku slacks off in his exercise, his new quirk could tear him apart. It's an interesting difference that might help explain how All For One lost in the first place: he just doesn't have the drive of a bearer of One for All.

Remember when All For One hosed up Best Jeanist? He said he wasn't going to take his quirk specifically because it was one that required a ton of work and practice to make useful.

Not to mention All For One didn't seem like someone who would want to get naked just to use a quirk. well, presumably if he finds a cool enough quirk he might keep it around. afterall, what we saw wasn't his only bag of tricks: it was a specific configuration of abilities. pretty sure either him or all might said that his fighting style was completely different form when they fought before? dude is definitely mostly interested in powers that don't take years of work but i dunno if i'd really call him lazy. he's just optimizing his power stealing: why have one very good quirk that takes forever to make useful, when you could have 50 pretty good quirks that require 0 effort? he's probably spending however much time he has not running a criminal underground on learning how best to combine quirks effectively

Also worth remembering that we've only seen All For One in extremely poor health post-All Might Administered Skull Crusher. Reasonable enough to assume he might have been more adventurous and experimental with his stolen quirks back when his body wasn't threatening to quit on him.

He's also been alive for hundreds of years, the guy probably got bored and experimented with some weird quirks every now and then.

What I've always been curious about is the nature of his own ability to steal a quirk. Is it something he can do only if a condition is met, like direct touch? Is it instant? He seems to assess Jeanist as if it were an option, but we're also never shown him taking Ragdoll's quirk, only the result. Stealing a useful quirk also leaves the original holder pretty vulnerable so if it's something he can do proactively then he probably won a lot of fights that way which would uniquely not work on One For All.

I got the impression that it's a pretty involved procedure, not something he can use off-handedly as a combat move. Seems like he would have probably stolen Endeavor's at least when he showed up to assist All Might if it were that simple.

Even with the accidental Todoroki Zuko thing I am definitely now imagining Quirk Stealing as the energy bending fight between Aang and Ozai that ends with Ozai’s bending removed. The whole standing still battle of pure spiritual will with energy shifting between user and target
