The implication I got was that bee girl is knuckleduster's daughter.

I think the credit card bit implies she goes from household to household killing the residents.

If she’s actually leaving a trail of bee-infested bodies behind it doesn’t make much sense why pro heroes aren’t on a huge manhunt for her. It would make more sense if that house was the first and just hasn’t been discovered yet.

They could be the second and the authorities just haven't figured it's a serial killer yet. I'm sure "died from some quirk" is common enough that if they found a dead homeowner the first action wouldn't getting a ton of heroes involved.

You guys got a different implication than I did. I buy into Nuebot's theory that the quirk user is a queen bee, not the person, and figured Knuckleduster's wife was a former host.

i think nuebot is probably right, but the current host is also probably knuckleduster's daughter as well, seeing how the photo knuckleduster has of her was taken back when she had two regular eyes

Looks like we're likely getting what I'd be perfectly happy getting.

Token movie character who is never seen again after. Hopefully we get a proper trailer soon.

Hopefully they can avoid damseling her too hard or giving Mineta too much time to be creepy. I really wish they'd use Mineta more as the put-upon straightman who is the only sane person in class who sees how hosed up and dangerous everything always is- the class could really use one.

Or a dude who thinks his Quirk is kind of lovely compared to explosion hands and Ice/Fire guy but he somehow got into the top class because the entrance exam was easy for him to cheese through

Or... tone down the horniness

"Go on until you're stopped."
Toning down Mineta's horniness is the same as not using him at all, because being terrible is basically his only character trait.

...so yes, please do that.

Honestly, I'd appreciate him more as the mellow Mickey Mouse-looking thing he's been in certain panels, like when we're first introduced to him.

It's funny, I imagined her more as a black-haired girl, but maybe that's just because most of her classmates are black.

Didn't they say this movie would go into one of the character's backstory that we haven't seen yet? I think it could be a possibility.

Alternate answer, she's already on the poster and you just can't see her.

Early on he was also a coward who was the only one who kinda reacted to 'attempted murder by villains' in a way other than 'instantly ready to fight

He could make a useful comparison to everyone else if they focused to how everyman he is.



Instead he is just a creep.

Hold that pose.
I've gotta get something.
Mineta being inexorably horny led to him interning with Mt. Lady, and the payoff for that was actually one of my favorite gags in the whole thing, so I'm almost OK with him.

His peeping and molesting is less OK.

Well, we don't know if she can copy quirks and Hagakure's quirk is a form of light manipulation.

I wouldn't be so sure, with Dragon Ball, One Piece and Boruto lately it seems the Shueisha staff have realized semi-canon movies are where the money is.

I could definitely buy Endeavor not morphing into a total dickhole until later in life(i.e. around the time Shoto was conceived) when he had become old enough to believe he would never personally surpass All Might, which in turn would lead to him becoming truly abusive and driving his wife off the deep end and traumatizing Shoto.

While I agree there could be something to that theory, I'm also perfectly content for the series to not revisit the particulars of Shoto's childhood. I'm fine with hating Endeavor, and Endeavor doesn't really mind being hated. It all works out.
