Why was Grapeboy so fascinated by the thought of Tsuyu secreting her poison? There's nothing remotely sexy about that.

It seems like almost every Quirk has a drawback of some kind if overused: (a) One for All (All Might and Izuku) causes tremendous strain to the body, to the point of fracturing the user's bones unless he has undergone supreme physical conditioning. (b) Zero Gravity (Uraraka) causes nausea. (c) Eraserhead (Aizawa) causes dry eyes. (d) Stick Grapes (Mineta) causes bleeding of the head if too many grapes are pulled out within a period of time. (e) Static Buildup (Denki) causes the user to short-circuit his own brain and become a peerless lunkhead for one hour. (f) Navel Laser (Aoyama) causes the stomach to collapse if the laser is fired for more than one second at a time. (g) Creation (Momo) destroys the user's clothes if the object created is particularly large. I wonder what the drawbacks for the other Quirks are.

It also seems that everyone's names is related to or a pun on their Quirks, so we may be able to guess the Quirks of the remaining students based on their names: KNOWN QUIRKS Yaoyorozu Momo (Vice-President) Kanji - 八百万百 Translation - Eight Hundred (八百) / One Million (万百) Figurative meaning - Versatility / Endless possibilities Quirk - Creation: Ability to create any inorganic object, so long as she understands the object's atomic configuration.

Fabricated posted:I kinda hope Midoriya gets a decent looking transformation or simply doesn't transform at all when he starts properly controlling his power. Him becoming the weird shadow-silhouetted hulk with a chiseled face would kinda bug me. I think the members Class 1A on a whole are too chill (with the exception of Bakugou) to be jealous of stronger students. No one has so far expressed any jealousy or dislike of A Boy of Ice and Fire (other than Bakugou), for instance.

I'm not sure if this was mentioned in the comic - Are the students in the Management and Support classes participating in the same contests as the Heroics classes, or do they get their own set of contests? If it is the former, that seems rather unfair to the Management and Support students.

Primary provider of fan-service. Main focus of Grapeboy's attentions. Asui Tsuyu (Frog Girl) Kanji - 蛙吹梅雨 Translation - Frog (蛙) / Rain (雨) Quirk - Frog form. Does anything a frog can. Makes sense! Uraraka Ochako (Gravity Girl) Kanji - 麗日お茶子 Translation - Her name comes from ウラビティ (uravity), グラビティ (gravity) without the "g", making Ura (麗, urara), bi (日, that can also be read as ka), tea (茶, read as cha).

Mineta Minoru (Grapeboy) Kanji - 峰田実 Translation - Fertile fields (峰田) Berry (実) Quirk - Sticky Grapes Weaknesses: Bleeds from head if he overuses his ability. Incorrigible pervert.

Omake chapter with more character profiles, including: Navelgun, in "Civilian Clothes" (Likes: Himself) Tooru, "Tastefully Nude" Tsuyu, in "Winter Ensemble" (She's sensitive to the cold) Grapeboy, dressed to go "Out on the Town" (Likes: Girls) (Also, the mangaka explains how he passed the entrance exam for Yuuei Academy) No. 13, in "Hero Costume" Ojiro aka "Tail Boy", in "Civilian Clothes" (His quirk is that he has a strong, sturdy tail. That's it. That's all there is to his powers) Present Mic, in "Hero Costume" Todoroki, in "Civilian Clothes" (Likes: Cold soba) Yaoyozoru, in "Relatively Casual" clothes (Clarified that she can create any substance including organic substances, as long as it's not a living thing) JosephWongKS fucked around with this message at 13:30 on Feb 25, 2015 |

JosephWongKS posted:
Now that I think about it, Ojiro has got to be the underdog of underdogs in Yuuei Academy. His classmates and competitors in the tournament can create fire and ice; create any object out of any materials; make explosions; have a sentient shadow-bird companion; nullify gravity; shoot tape out of their elbows; emit lightning; harden their entire body; shoot lasers; spray acid; move at hyper-speed; or have the same ability as the No. 1 Hero in the world. All Ojiro has is a strong, sturdy tail. JosephWongKS fucked around with this message at 16:05 on Feb 25, 2015 |

I haven't seen the kanji for his name, but I think his name might be "Steelsteel steelsteel". The kanji for his name is: 鉄 (the kanji for "iron", and pronounced "Tetsu") 哲 (the kanji for "clear", and also pronounced "Tetsu") 徹 (the kanji for "pierce", and again pronounced "Tetsu") 轍 (the kanji for "furrow", and pronounced - you guessed it - "Tetsu").
