Dabi probably literally smells like burnt flesh, which is unpleasant for psychological reasons in humans to begin with.

Thus Dabi can't smell bad. This is the hill I'm dying on that I can't believe for the story. I cannot believe they'd have him around smelling all funky in their hideouts, unless Shigaraki secretly has the ability to set his Quirk to stun and just slaps the stink off of Dabi.

Yeah like, burnt flesh is literally unpleasant for psychological reasons (it means someone is burning and it might be you) old burnt flesh likely isn't much better. Dabi isn't likely to smell bad, just unpleasant in a psychological way due to all the burnt/dead flesh stapled onto him.

Really bad burn wounds can also get really easily infected and gross and septic, which brings its own set of horrific smells to the table.

Horikoshi flat out said his inspiration for Dabi's design was a zombie, where people want him to be Frankenstein's Monster (The misunderstood being) rather than what he is (The very understood psycho). It's in fact one of MHA's strengths that none of the villains are "I was tricked into villainy and it's all because society doesn't understand me." Even in a case like Gentle, he willingly chose that if he could not receive recognition as a hero, it would be as a villain. That's not to say villains weren't misunderstood by society, but that misunderstanding is not the primary cause of their villainy. In short, the villains have agency in their decisions. I dunno it's a very nuanced position because the elements of society as a reason are there but the ultimate act upon those actions are always the characters themselves, I'd say the manga doesn't try to "Justify" their actions so you can't go and nod and say "Ah see, and that's why all the murders are acceptable."

Kanos posted:Every wacky new application of his quirk that Koichi pulled out did literally nothing but kept him alive for a few more seconds. I really, really don't understand where the "OP" complaints come from; he didn't even end up beating the bad guy, he merely survived long enough for the bad guy to burn himself out. I like how Koichi's quirk is just objectively superior to Ingenium's (either brother) in every single way. But yeah it isn't quite "OP" compared with other high-end heroes. It *is* extremely good, like enough so to become one of the top heroes in the country, but other people also have goofy strong abilities (like Shoto or Hawks or Best Jeanist; Best Jeanist is actually a kind of good comparison, since he also has a weird quirk taken to a ridiculous extreme).

CharlestonJew posted:My headcanon is Super Shigaraki has been using his upgraded quirk to remotely remove all the grime and poo poo from Dabi’s stanky stanky self Yeah, but before this though. Before Shigaraki had all 7 Chaos Emeralds. I thought it was just that the man doesn't shower or use soap or something. It just being a wound issue makes more sense. It's not like he can just go see that evil doctor whenever for a fresh wound cleaning and mummy wrap.

Nah that's the goop from the teleportation quirk AfO began using after Kurogiri got captured. Everyone always comments that it smells horrible and the teleportation always looks extremely unpleasant for people being teleported. Not saying that Dabi doesn't stink, tho.

I would've agreed with this at one point but I feel like it's increasingly clear Hori has no interesting place left to take it except "well, I guess we probably shouldn't traumatize and abandon children." At one point the disparate backgrounds of the league characters felt like it implied something meaningful about their possible resolutions but that died with Twice, I think.
