Truth is that there is no safe or harmless way to physically stop someone, besides using some grappling to pin them and then restrain them with handcuffs or something.

Superpowers like Spiderman's web or telepathy are a cute way of doing it, but it's hard to make a whole cast of superpowered people like that. If you think about it, the only two students with "sure" ways of restraining someone are the tape guy and Momo (if she has time and information). Kaminari could make someone pass out somewhat safely if he had fine control over his electricity, but...

 

[caliph95]

I mean due to anime physics and biology Todoroki can just freeze criminals without in real life worried about them freezing to death

 

[cntr]

I'm not saying Todoroki can't fight or rescue people without hurting them, anyway. I'm just saying that it's not something he's good at by default.

Especially with his fire powers.

Basically this. Comics people are Made of Iron in general, even if they're not actually superpowered. Forget freezing to death, anybody getting caught in suddenly expanding ice is gonna get crushed to death. That hasn't happened with anyone Todoroki froze in the past, so clearly it's not something to worry about.

 

[WarRock]

It's weird how he can freeze to death but he can freeze other people no problem if you think about it.

Quickly dumping in a theory since I called Overhauls big plan but don't think I ever mentioned it technically for proof (ten bucks says

he uses his power to either put the bullets together(where he can combine stuff as well as deconstruct, or put his daughter back together so she can't die

. I think Toga is going to be a big part of this coming part because 1. Ochako and Froppy are here (who she fought last time) 2 there is a big theme of blood in this chapter(their using the kid's blood to make the bullets) and Toga happens to use blood 3. Disguising herself as Deku will probably be an excellent way of

Mirio, the guy who is closest to being number one hero. I don't see how anyone could beat him without some trickery going on

Pretty much this. The issue with putting real world limitations to character's super powers is that you can't really do much without severely hurting them. Unless its a dark hyperrealistic depiction of a world with those powers, in which case the appeal is watching how much damage these powers can actually do. If this was a bit more realistic, Shoto could hyper heat and then freeze the air and start causing explosions all over the place (maybe he'll get there at the end and that will be his ultimate form?).

It's a small thing that's always bugged me, but every person who's ever been knocked out with a punch in media ever should either have a severe concussion or be dead.

 

[Ascheroth]

If we're talking about powers, Minetas could actually be super cruel in the hands of a villain if you think about it.
Like shoving a ball down someones throat and there's no way for them to get it out no matter how much they flail around, while slowly suffocating.

Stuff like that~

 

[cntr]

Generally by fiction rules giving people burns or heatstroke is worse than punching them, even if that's not really realistic. But that wasn't the point I was trying to make, anyway.

Assuming Toga's form change is limited by how much blood she has, I'm pretty sure they're planning to save that up for when they try to break All for One out of prison, probably by turning into Deku and grabbing All Might.

Mineta has a pretty good quirk if you're trying to restrain someone instead of defeating them.

We've never been told if Mineta's grapes can be removed safely. Imagine someone trying to take them off and they rip their skin doing so.

Speaking of that eventual plot point, I bet thats the nature of Handjobs deal with overhaul(either that, or to use him as a connection to contact some foreign groups for this purpose).

Im basically nothing but crackpot theories today

what point are you trying to make?

 

[Ascheroth]

Crackpot theory days are the best days though.

 

[cntr]

what point are you trying to make?

Todoroki's quirk is designed to beat people up, but not really for anything else. That's fine for Endeavor, but that's not fine for the kind of hero Todoroki wants to become. And so he needs to put in effort to learn how to use his quirk safely, especially the fire.

It fits his character arc, doesn't it? And gives him a thing he needs to work for, instead of blithely saying that he's great at everything.

 

[WarRock]

I completely forgot about Mineta. Depending on how the stickiness of his balls (oh god) he could be deadly.

 

[cntr]

Overhaul's gonna blow up Toga's arm and render her unable to transform convincingly until they get it fixed

that's my crackpot theory of the day

 

[caliph95]

Asshole Black guy and mirio is going to die
after redeeming himself when it turns out he was a double agent for the villains
Also hints to electric guy being traitor when it turns the guy buying toys is related to kaminari.

 

[Ascheroth]

Ochako is going to mistakenly confess to Deku-Toga.

Spoiler

Then she transform into Ochako and confesses to Deku. The Matchmaker~.

 

[Dedication Through Light]

Traitor Kaminari theory is alive, I love it.

 

[cntr]

The traitor turns out to be...you, the reader! You're leaking all the information to a villain who can read your mind!

Spoiler

I bet Alan Moore's done this.

 

[caliph95]

Someone on this thread is going to love this
Kirishima confess his love to bakugo and they passionately kiss
Momo to todoroki or vice versa since that is funnier and more heartwarming
Deku is in a poly relationship with toga, ochaka and mei to please everybody
Mina to froppy
All might to Aizawa and night eye being jealous

The traitor turns out to be...you, the reader! You're leaking all the information to a villain who can read your mind!

Spoiler

I bet Alan Moore's done this.

That's a funny way to spell Grant Morrison

 

[cntr]

You say that as if they aren't secretly the same person.

 

[caliph95]

How can they be the same person when they are obviously hate fucking

 

[Poodlestrike]

New Illegals today as well. Character writing game got stepped up! Particularly Pop-Step.

You say that as if they aren't secretly the same person.

cntr pls. Grant Morrison has no hair. Alan Moore has all the hair.

Besides, involving the reader like that is straight up Morrison's alley. Hell, he actually did that in the Ultra Comics issue of Multiversity.

 

[cntr]

Spoiler

I actually meant to type Grant Morrison but I typed Alan Moore instead because I'm a dummkopf.

anyway to get back on topic

Thinking about it, Jirou could totally beat Todoroki up and win. Her sonic gloves can break ice apart and suppress fire through sheer air pressure.

 

[Bowl0l]

All Might can do that too. No one alive could pull out All Might's hand from their mouth when All Might is in his muscle form /s

 

[caliph95]

Yeah Grant is the meta guy he does stuff like that all the time.

What's Jiro's weakness Mina has to be careful not kill or severely injure people so she has to be more creative or careful with her powers though she is the most athletic of the female Students. I guess it's that she has to stop and aim and Todoroki is supposed to be agile

 

[cntr]

Deku was able to use air blasts to destroy Todoroki's ice, so can't see why Jirou couldn't do the same. If she can shatter the ground, she can shatter ice.

Jirou's weakness is that she's very short range without the gloves, I guess?

 

[Tathanen]

New Illegals out.

aw ;_;

Yeah, this was a good one. Adds some depth to Pop Step (FINALLY) and fills in some extra backstory for the MC.

 

[Philippo]

I was not expecting that.
So cute~

[AlphaDragoon]

Illegals was pretty good this week. The past tie between Kazuho and Koichi was actually pretty cute. I guess it's now 100% clear that she's got a crush on him.

I loved the new illegals chapter.

It was so sweet

That sounds like a stand, not a quirk.

I could see it, but I'unno. Leaning fake.

That's kind of sounding too similar to Ninja Tank spoilers.

I so wish the Sharingan tank was real. That version of Naruto would've been way better than what we got.
