Chat Deku deserves to win number one at least once. It’s his own book and anime-
We teach girls to shrink themselves, to make themselves smaller. We say to girls, you can have ambition, but not too much. You should aim to be successful, but not too successful. Otherwise, you would threaten the man. Because I am female, I -
LET'S TALK ABOUT JIN BEING SMART!! okay, so double clearly has two things that mechanically affect Jin. One, he clearly has an amazing memory - think about all the numbers he needs to replicate someone, I think it makes the quirk similar to creation in that he needs a lot of info prior to doubling, but outside of even how Momo's quirk needs chemical makeup, Jin essentially converts the measurements into something visual and spatial. So, just based on that, he should be one of those people who very vividly can picture stuff or draw up a map of something based on numeric values.
In additional to a great memory and spatial intelligence, he also clearly has to understand people really well. Don't forget, he's also doubling personalities, which can be explained as scifi mumbo jumbo, I think would require really understanding people around him.
Despite Jin's loneliness and trauma clouding his judgment, I do want to say he understood Keigo and his loneliness very well. It's no coincidence one of our first insights into the society at large post-Kamino was Jin reflecting on the current state of society, and 115 absolutely makes it clear he's a far deeper thinker than his illness allows him to express. So, while it's all inward, I just think there's an incredible depth to how he processes other people (and events/society in general). And it's a natural sort of thing, not something he was taught to do. Really one of the cooler characters in this manga and very well-written!
I don't know how many people will get the reference but here's some sketch of gloomy bear Toga
I've seen some people on Twitter say they think this ending has rewritten Hawks' persona to be his true personality and was wondering what you thought about that? I've always had mixed feelings about people dismissing a lot of his behaviour as being fake/persona since I feel it's a little more complicated than just being the polar opposite of the hero Hawks
Keigo is indeed too traumatized and complicated to have a simple "real" and "fake" personality. There's layers. I think he's always had the kind of charisma to be able to do what he's doing (SPC prez). And he even questions if he has time to kill in his last panel, but it feels very tongue-in-cheek.
My view has always been that happy/optimist/charismatic Hawks might not be "real internal" of Keigo's personality, but they were what he aspires to hence why he tends to wear that persona. And I don't think that's fake.
Maybe I'm coming from the standpoint of someone with a personality disorder where we change our personalities, but I strongly believe what we want to be and try to be is part of our personalities, too.
