Also it would have brought on an interesting like facet of quirk discrimination/privilege, cuz like, id imagine any police department would jump at the chance to hire a guy with a lie detection quirk, even if other job seekers have more detective experience right?

I feel like you make some good points concerning the canonicity of the quirks like how they impact their personality (or vice versa) but i feel like the plot holes concerning quirk powers become a bit more obvious when you look at it from the writers perspective, along with why their powers coincide with their goals. Its probably more likely that the reason main antagonists and main protagonists have their quirks suit their personality is just because its narratively poetic. "Guy who wants to destroy the world is traumatized because he destroys everything he touches" and "Kid who used to have no power wants to be the worlds best hero, but he has to learn how to control his power" is just narratively satisfying. As for their powers not being consistent i can guarantee it's just that every power has 1 kryptonite and the extra good powers have more than 1. like a savage worlds character. Explosive Sweat? Well can't explode as good in winter. Super Strength? You are so strong your punches break your bones. Super Speed? Well normally youre just really fast, but if you wanna go faster you cant move afterwards. I feel like thats why its inconsistent. Because Toru's power is frankly already kinda garbage for most fights her weakness is something simple, not being able to turn it off. However Lemillion's power is quite frankly ridiculously powerful, and as such needs more downsides. Its also narratively satisfying because Lemillion had a similar arc to Deku. He wanted to be a super hero but his power was more of a hinderance in his early life until he learned how to truly use it to the best of his abilities. They are there to make things interesting, not make sense.

Like technically Lemillion would be blind but he would also stop existing cause you could argue that if hes entirely incorporeal there wouldnt be a way for his nerves to send electrical signals at all and he would just die. As for the personality thing id have to say their quirks affect their personality later on in life rather than it being ingrained into them from birth. Bakugo is a firey and dangerous kid because he thinks his quirk is so amazing, Deku was nervous and a bit of a cry baby until he got a handle on his quirk, Endeavor was abusive because he thought his power was so great he could make a kid thats even greater. To me, i think their personalities reflecting their quirk is just due to their reaction to being given immense power

It would be alright if the strengths vs weaknesses thing actually held up but the likes of Overhaul put a blatant hole in that system since there’s several abilities that don’t have any drawbacks. You don’t even have to go to the especially strong ones, for example Tsuyu and Kirishima both have no downsides and many more of the pro heroes are the same. Everything considered, it’s simply that the author didn’t think through the implications of the power system and made a bunch of inconsistencies as a result.

If you want a powersystem that either takes into account or explains all the points made in the video, you should read Worm/Parahumans. It's a web novel and it's pretty long(Around the length of the whole Harry Potter saga and the LOTR saga combined), but it's definitely worth reading if you enjoy the superhero genre, cause it really expands and plays around with almost all of the tropes. For example it goes into some of the things you mentioned in the video, like the way powers don't kill/damage people accidentally(both the user and the person the power is used on) because in this universe there is something know as the Manton Effect, that limits powers, usually making them exclusive to either biological or non-biological stuff, and sometimes protecting them in other ways, for example making a person that can spawn forcefields unable to make them appear inside someone, both protecting them from harming themselves and also explaining why they don't use their power to insta win against anyone. It also dives in the nature vs nurture theme and how powers affects personalites. This is gonna be a little more spoilery, but after a while we learn that powers make people attracted to conflict(Not gonna say why cause that is actually a massive spoiler about the origin/nature of powers) explaining why people usually become heroes and villains instead of using their powers in more productive ways, be it to help people or to gain money(apart from the fact that to gain powers you need to have a trigger event, which is basically a traumatizing experience, explaining why most people with powers are a little crazy in some way or another). It even goes into other stuff that doesn't happen that much in mha but is really common in most superhero media, like "if this super smart person can make tech that is strong enough to match or surpass powers, why do they only use it themselves instead of sharing it with other heros?" and other stuff like that. The final point I'm gonna make to recommend the story is that it is one of those "protagonist has powers that seem like they are useless/weak" type of story, but instead of being like most other ones where their power is actually hyper op and by the third episode they are one of the strongest beings in the verse, in this story the protagonist is stuck with pretty much the same powers, and simply learns new tricks and creative ways of using them. You wonder what powers the protagonist has? Well, she can control bugs, and thats about it. She is the bug girl.

You could argue that we actually see an example of the character subconsciously discovering their quirk in the show.... with an example you brought up in the beginning. Toga started to crave blood when her quirk developed because her quirk requires drinking blood to activate. Getting the instinctual urge to try this random thing that happens to be the activation condition for a quirk is already apart of the franchise. So for it to happen on things less villainous for other characters is not at all a stretch of logic.

I thought Mirio can be tangible and intangible, as he pleases? I.e this is why he can hit people and walk on the ground. So then when he is tangible, light reflects off of him and we can see him, when he is intangible light passes through? My thought is that, we wouldn't see him be invisible because he makes the parts that are passing through solid objects intangible as soon as it is required. A good example is his fight in that corridor before he fought overhaul, where he precisely hit someone while parts of his arm were simultaneously tangible and intangible. I guess we only ever see him pass through things. We know he always makes the exact specific parts intangible as he requires them?

@mahistv I guess I am saying my point is that, because he precisely becomes intangible on the exact parts as he goes through solid matter, we would never see the invisibility of him becoming intangible, because since the object he is passing through is solid we cannot see through the solid object, to then see that he is intangible and also invisible while he does it, if that makes sense? But at this point, my considerations for his precision and assumptions about how the character uses his power is not a view I actually take. It is very convoluted and I believe you in what you are thinking, that the creator does not consider this logic, or rule, that Mirio should become invisible where he is intangible.

Depends on the Qurik. We see it with people like Aoyama where he got the Quirk but not the full body to use it. Same with the kid who can copy powers. He says he can't use abilities that require storing up energy to use them when he touches Eri and grows a horn like hers and further explains it with Fatgum where he doesn't have the mass. AFO also has shown able to give multiple Quirks to someone as well. We also see it with Gigantomachia with how many he stored and Soinnah getting an extra couple when he went on his rampage. He could give Quirks to compensate or not or some Quirks by default when given just also give the secondary needs to use it properly. Hell, like the Dabi example not everyone is born with the body necessary to control it either.
@RavenCloak13

AFO also gets visions of the past user of the Quirk he took. Which goes to show that Quirks are something much more magical in a sense or more an imprint of the personality was left behind in him and why Kosei, the word used in Japanese to describe Quirks he went over meaning more personality or individuality shows that this is sort of explained more as half outright magic and half biology getting to a point that its similar to magic. Nevermind we also have Principle Nezumi whose a rat who gained super intelligence along with the ability to speak and stuff and not just a person born looking like a rat. So it's not even just humans but anything with enough evolution points towards personality and individualism.

Maybe someone else has mentioned already (though not that I have seen), but you seemed to imply that it's unclear if Shigaraki had this sort of quirk-related urge to destroy prior to meeting AFO. Did you just forget the itching? He literally had the itching before his quirk even manifested but likely just didn't understand what urge it actually was. Thinking about it, it may actually be one of those "you'll instinctively know how to use your quirk" gone wrong where his mind, at least partially, interpreted it as having to scratch yourself. I think it has quite a bit of merit, considering it's essentially just Shigaraki harming himself when what he actually craves is destruction of whatever he currently really wants to destroy.

Spoiler In the manga it was revealed it was all for one had fostered the terrible environment to mentally break and eventually transferred the decay quirk to tenko. (which was an purposefully incomplete copy of overhauls quirk, it was revealed overhaul was at one of all for one's orphanages to be used as a shigaraki back up, and that they made the quirks regeneration and decay from the incomplete enhanced copies) Overhauls quirk also had a side effect of itching and blemishes. I can only assume the side effect was worsened since the destructive factor was enhanced. Side note: this wasn't confirmed but its possible Air walk was Tenko's original quirk since Nana shimuras was float, its also one of the few quirks we don't see Shigaraki use post surgery even though afo gave him copies of his other quirks.

So, even though nato(i think that’s how you spell it?) can’t generate the fuel, he can still create a brand new working line of one for all, which will gain fuel materially from the NEW line.

Lots of the issues here boild down to a secondary powers and adaptability. You have the magical "quirk factor" that gets stolen and negated by people like eraserhead and Sonoma, and tgen you get the "biological aspect" where practically everyone is a bit of a mutant that can endure (and train that endurance of) their own power that usually manifests in a very weak way during childhood and people grow and adapt to the strain they go through. There are physical feats not tied to the stated quirk such as Eraserhead's and Shinso's Ninja moves that point to some level of enhanced physiology without obvious tells, and Bakugo started out throwing sparks rather than grenades, he had time to develop the shock absorbing aspect of his arms along with the force of his blasts. Also, the Manga page in the guy was his mask, his actual face look more like a speech bubble so there might be permeability or something...

It's just he "turns off" the finer controls of it. It's still a part of their bodies. It also goes more into detail in the manga on how it works with brief summaries in those back pages.

The idea of quirks interacting with their holder's personalities seems interesting when you consider the Vestiges, which almost imply that quirks are tied to a person's mind and soul. Not just with how the Vestiges of previous OFA users interact with Izuku, but also how the Vestiges of the quirks AFO has stolen fight back when given the opportunity. Not to mention how AFO himself starts fighting for control of Tomura's mind after the procedure to implant the copy of his quirk. Most interestingly, though, is that when Copy AFO finally crushes Tomura's spirit, the quirk Decay seemingly goes with it. This seems to imply that a person's quirk is tied to their very soul, which fits the idea of their personalities being influenced by them.

I think that is... Debatable. It would be hard to pinpoint his exact position, but we tend to notice a fly zipping by, so I'm pretty sure we would notice his retinas moving around.

Rental Hero has a character with a quirk very like Toga's in that he worked as an impersonator to cover for superhero's secret identities. However, he discovered that apparently he also has the ability to take the powers from dead superheroes under certain unknown conditions. He copied their version of Superman. It takes his body a while to adjust, but he's basically having to take the guy's place and pretend he's still alive, because the world really needs that guy to NOT be dead right now.

Bakugou's quirk, or at least how he uses it, is one of the ones that make the least sense to me. How are his fingers not broken? Or his wrists? How has he never gotten whiplash? How is he never burnt due to the heat from his explosions? How does he spark the explosions to begin with? How the hell can essentially make a laser just by making a circle with his hand? How has nobody he's fought been burnt or killed from taking point blank explosions? Who thought it was a good idea to give a teenager gauntlets that almost killed one of his classmates? When you really think about it, trying to give it the "realistic" explanation of "nitroglycerin sweat", just makes the quirk all the more confusing, since it's clearly more than that. Though I guess it's just the byproduct of the author clearly being the top Bakugou glazer I've ever seen. One of the reasons I've stopped watching

What I find interesting with the quirk singularity situation is technically what endeavor tried to do would be the easiest solution to keep strong quirks, Attraction instincts or standards in such a world should trend towards complementary quirks or It quirk that is a stronger version of one's secondary survival maintaining effects. The strategic next generation product of a society like that is more multifaceted quirks. like Shoto's Ice and fire plus the Dragon Hero's dragon quirk would be a strategic next step away from the possibility of a singularity child, with that combo possibly producing a person who would have a well rounded generalist quirk.

One thing about quirks I appreciate is how each person's body's capability to handle it and how others dont. a video about various ones would be interesting. (Like 5 that work and 5 that dont) I bet that alot of quirks passively buffs someone's durability based on the intensity of it and the type. ------------ You already mentioned Dabi being a unique case because of how he inherited his mothers weakness to fire but his father's flames. So that one where the genes definitely can influence each other in another way. Todoroki's body can handle both extreme heat and cold his body produces, but he has to regulate them if he uses one side too much. Like of you use one muscle over another where both are needed to lighten the load. So it makes sense if his body over time developed resistance to outside temperatures also. We can assume the burn scar is likely due to him being still very young at the time. If his body cant produce extreme temperatures of that level yet, he likely cant take it from an outside source. ------------ Bakugo's body likely needs a big buff to handle those explosions. And its likely developed over time as well since I doubt those explosions are too powerful at a young age. This would explain him being able to take a weakened bunch from All might in his hero training. Boy produces explosion everyday. His body is likely resistant to blut force trauma and explosive shockwaves op to a point. Like imaginea person jumped in a pool with a grenade going off. In a pool grenades are far more dangerous because it ruptures your organs from the vibrations and pressures. Bakugo's body and organs would be better adapted to handle that than some guy with a telekinetic quirk for example.

I think something you failed to reflect on was how different quirks affect the users overall genetic makeup, so for some of the inconsistencies shown can be pretty explicable when you understand that most quirk abled people adapt to their abilities, so for instance while bakugo wouldn’t be able to eat an RPG to the face, his constitution and overall makeup prevents him from harming himself with any combustions emitted by himself.

It's also important to take into consideration their parents. Normal parents can give birth to people with quirks which is dangerous for them and the kid but in most cases the parents have a quirk. The parents then have an educated guess on what their child's quirk will be. Like Animas mom having the same powers as her son and even informing him that they will oneday grow larger. So they will pass their knowledge on and prepare them for their quirk.

For Mirio, he makes parts of his body intangible when needed, so only the parts things pass through are invisible, and you don't see them anyway because the object is in the way. If he does his whole body, he would fall through the ground, so there's no proof he isn't fully invisible at that time. We've never actually seen him make his whole body intangible at one time, while just his feet are solid to stay on the surface, so he theoretically could be invisible like that.

A part of quirks that u need to understand is that most quirks are activated by the user when they want to not on their own. Like shigirakis quirk only activates when he touches something with is hand AND is intentionally trying to decay it. Also quirks usually give the user abilities that allow them to use them withought harking themselves like bakugo is able to explode stuff cuz his body is much more durable than average.

@@Sjono It literally just depends on the person and how they deal with their Quirk. Look at Tetsu Tetsu and Kirashima. Kirashima didn't start out like he was with a similar personality to Tetsu Tetsu. We see that Tetsu Tetsu was pretty much like this as a kid. A defensive type Quirk wouldn't make one think of a hot blooded meat head. Though one can interpret this as not needing to think when you don't have to worry about self preservation. But Kirashima had to train to get to that level. They aren't outright slaves just because of a Quirk but it will effect your personality even if not dominant. Like say Toga, that guy with the bag over his head that was always hungry, the Dog Hero dude and so on. It just depends on severity, personality coping and so on.

I feel like if they didn’t try and make them make sense in super specific ways it would be better since it wouldn’t contradict itself, it should’ve just stayed general. Also the singularity doesn’t really make sense cause why would the primary effect grow faster over generations than the resisting your own effect, both are part of the power so why doesn’t it all grow at the same rate. Instead of focusing mostly on its effects on the user they should’ve focused mostly on children like Eri where they’re so powerful they kill everyone around them and since nobody around them is alive to raise them they become a animalistic creature of pure animal instinct.

Using your powers while not being a hero is also considered illegal. So from what we see, then you’re either a hero, a villain, or don’t use your quirk if you have one. That’s also what Uraka started with saying. She wanted to get her license so she could help her family with work. But if a business relied on one persons quirk, then if that person got sick, or died. Then it wouldn’t just become harder to do that job, but impossible. So, something like a hero and or entertainment business is just more reliable.

When it comes to Toru (Invisible Girl) I always understood her power as working through refraction of light kinda like how the "invisibility screens" work - when light gets in contact with any of her cells it gets refracted along it's surface and comes out the opposite way without any shifts in wavelength, which is enough for her eye receptors to react to the light's presence and to break the molecules inside of them which allows her to see, but the process is effectively lossless. This needs to be specifically tuned to visible and scattered though, that's why when she is shot with a laser later on in the series it reveals her (because laser would be refracted in a different way), and that's also why she learns the "flashbang" ability after quirk training (she gains the control of how her body refracts the light, allowing her to use it as an amplifier to enviormental light).

Why does Uraraka get motion sickness for levitating not-her? The answer is she doesn't, she's in a category shared with Mirio and possibly Izuki where the Quirk doesn't quite have it's logical side-effect, but instead has an imitation. ZG just makes her stomach do silly things, and she's immune to motion sickness otherwise. 3:50 Also, Endeavor and Shoto both take damage in extreme cases. With that said, he Quirk Singularity is more about complexity. 4:20 It would be a spectrum, most people ending up at the limit of what's survivable. 5:20 Also, Izuku (who trains to deal with something similar) has trouble with those grenade-things. 6:20 Granted, that training went fairly quickly once they started. 6:55 The bottom of which is comparable to none. 9:20 Or just animal blood, since the black pudding industry gets it from somewhere.
