Spinner will always have a tail for me and night vision. He deserves some love and attention. He can wield his giant mutant swords with his super strength and a cool dagger with his tail. He would have been the best. Imagine some lizard guy climbing up random buildings while carrying the entire League like they are just a bunch of grapes. And the hydrophobic skin is just a cool extra. But then the question would be if it were just a party trick or actually useful with him being human shaped aka a mutant and probably needing clothes (Big Probably cause I feel like he could also use his shed as amour like Mirio with his hair suit. That would be so so cool.
Now I can't stop thinking about him making raincoats out of his shed and probably gifting one to Toga so her nice jacket doesn't get ruined.
if you've seen my posts you would know that I have a soft spot for animal quirks, especially reptilian ones, so when i saw just how badly hori fumbled the potential of spinners quirk, I was ready to blow a fucking gasket.
For staters, here is a real gecko
And here is spinner
Spinner doesn't remsemble a gecko in the slightest, if anything he looks more like curt connors from the first spider man cartoon got his tail cut off permantly, wore a troll doll wig, and then decided to dress like a ninja.
The other problem comes from the fact that spinner only ability is wall crawling.
Are you serious.
You know what, just to spite hori, I've decided to list out all the gecko abilities that spinner should have gotten
Super strength: geckos setae arent just good for climbing they get also grant superhuman strength in allowing the user to bench 300 times their weight. This would been perfect for spinner since after muscular and nomu were gone, the league didnt have any real physical powerhouses on the team.
super speed: the worlds fastest gecko is the namib gecko, which can run appromixately 118 times its body length in one second, now imagine a human running that speed, honestly this would fit in well with someone who shtick is being a ninja.
cat like reflexes: you the old saying, "cats land on their feet"? Well same thing applies to gecko as well. They can use their tails to make sure they always land feet first. Again, perfect ability for a ninja
prehensile tail: imagine spinner wielding a sword with his tail, hell yeah.
Night vision: would have a good addition considering spinners debut was a night in a forest.
Camoflauge: also fits with the ninja motif of stealth and speed.
Foul smelling liquid: the golden tailed gecko can shoot a nasty smelling oil from its tail. This would work well ahainst heros like hound dog with enhanced smell.
Sonic bark: a tokay gecko can bark at 50 db, a man sized gecko could paralyze someone with their bark, gang orca style.
hydrophobic skin: any water attacks from heroes like wash and manuel would just bounce right off him, oh and it would let him walk on water.
I’ve been saying this
I've decided to make this post due to the fact AFO's abuse towards Tomura is often ignored and even denied, so I'll be bringing a collection of scenes that prove he was being severally neglected during the 15 years he lived with AFO
1- Malnourishment and Underweight
At the beginning of the story Tomura used to be very skinny, his spine visible, very accentuated collar bones.
We can't see if his ribcages are exposed too since he's always dressed, but we can tell he is abnormally skinny and thin.
Some theorize AFO's purposefully keeps him in this state so he's more weak and frail similar to Yoichi. Or so it adds to his tiredness and numbness.
He's also been shown randomly struggling before (it could've been the aftershock of Stain attack, i don't know)
2- Lack of hygiene
He literally lives in pure filth, trash bags, old soda cans, paper, boxes, packages of food that seems ordered other than homemade, it lingers all over his floor, he is clearly a hoarder
It's completely different of the kept and clean bar, and now before you say "That's Tomura's responsibility, he's an adult he should clean it himself!" just think for a minute, if you had a son, that you see as your heir, and bets on their future so much,If you truly cared about them and saw they felt into a hoarder mindset, wouldn't you at least help?
Why not even Kurogiri cleans if Tomura was being cared by him? This clearly is intentional neglect, specially to keep his mood constantly down.
3 - His teeth
Tomura canonically has crooked teeth (compare his teeth to the other's in the jump festa art), cavities or at least what looks like plaques or dirt all over his teeth.
For someone raised by someone as filthy rich as AFO, he should've had access to dental care
4- Shaggy hair
His hair looks un-brushed, shaggy and dirty, which had no reason for before MVA when he became homeless, so why even at the start? How long has he taken a bath or a shower?
Look at the blatant difference in this scene after he showered at the PLF mansion
5- Unkept, ragged and broken nails
despite his hands also being very skinny, his nails are also all rough and broken Now, I know Tomura isn't a kid to have someone cut his nails for him, but this implies he was never teached how to take care for himself.
Besides of course his clear symptoms of depression and suicidal idealism, which, are very obvious, All for One IS neglecting Tomura by keeping him in that state /knowing/ he isn't being capable of taking care of himself.
6- His bedroom
First of all: No windows
Second, notice how empty it used to be, he had nothing but a bed and a desk, but right as he committed his first murder he started to receive toys, AFO is lovebombing and manipulating him to kill more
7- The obvious neglect to his pain
Notice how every time Tomura panics or is even wounded, he is just ignored and left on the floor bleeding out, puking or writhing.
Which uh- it isn't normal to watch your kid writhe in the floor while smiling and monologuing
8- 24/7 Surveillance and lack of privacy
There are cameras everywhere, AFO spends most of the time watching Tomura, even in his own bedroom, and even talks to him, Tomura probably hasn't had any privacy ever since he was 5
Which is a sign of abuse and control
His entire childhood from 5 to 20 is often relatable for people who grew in cult like environments, and homeschooled children who grew under controlling parents, despite the abuse not being as "obvious" since AFO never directly physically hurt him, the neglect and psychological torture is still there, that and more all the manipulation, gaslighting and grooming (think of Mother Gothel from Tangled as an example of this type of abuser)
By the way, talking about it
9- Gaslighting
"but wasn't /you/ who desired my power?"
The entire body possession plot is a clear evidence AFO never saw Tomura as anything other than a toy to play with, the same way he saw Yoichi, but so many people say the possession was a retcon because "early afo cleared saw him as his heir, he even said it's all for him!"
Well, argue with the literal "he's the next me", while he is.... weirdly caressing the screen while he watches his kid with no privacy- 100% creep behavior
10- AFO's bizzare behavior towards Tomura
The way All for One's hands are often shown caressing him or encasing him somehow, which yeah, it's part of the symbology of Tomura's character (hands that can both hurt and save)
But knowing AFO represents /hurt/ and, you know, i'ts kinda weird to caress the kid you kidnaped off the streets like that-
Cuz yes! Picking kids from the street even if they are orphan is illegal!! You should take them to a police station instead :D
Tomura was KIDNAPED by AFO, not saved.
11- Proof Tomura doesn't /feel/ saved
During his fight against Bakugou, when he sees him being helped, besides being "broken" he starts to spiral on "why no one saved me even before i was broken?"
The visual including the granny that ignored him on the streets
AFO broke him.
He recurrently thinks back to when he was on the streets, even though he was already traumatized, and had already killed his family, he still had /hope/ he ADMITS he believes he could've been different if it wasn't for AFO
If AFO had truly saved him,he wouldn't think like this
12- AFO gifting Tomura the corpses of his family to intentionally keep him nauseated, uncomfortable and traumatized, so he never heals
Besides their weird placements- On a kid. the gangster's hands being in his chest...
13-AFO's intentional desire for Tomura's discomfort
If this entire thread didn't make it obvious already, All for One benefits of Tomura's tiredness, ill feelings, nausea, depression and suicidal mindset, and over all physical and psychological discomfort
This ensures he's submissive to his manipulations and orders, keep him feeling hatred and anger due to constant overwhelming feelings and makes it harder for him to think of why AFO does all of it at all.
I could go even deeper than this about it, but i've reached thread limit and am lazy, so I hope you enjoyed this thread!
Thank you for reading
oh my god two words in that just UNIVERSAL LANGUAGE
I did relate this to snakes since they grow like their entire life, but humans don't. They even reverse grow at old age and get smaller. So then if it was with growth at like the age of 60, if he would ever get old, he would shed more again? Cause he gets smaller in human? But I don't think gekos get smaller when they are senior age.
Since Spinner has like a reptile quirk and all. Does he shed? And if he does, is it like all reptiles connected to his age? And if it is is it like focused on human age and all or more on like growth. Cause reptiles she'd more when they are younger and grow lots. So would he like just sort of very slowdown shedding at 18, so growth or continue cause it is more age related?
I think he would. He is like a Geco if I remember right.
Geckos Shead 1 time every week and with human age i would say it would slow down when he hit puberty and most males go throw this at 15 to 16 so maybe around there. Making it to where he sheds every 2 to 3 weeks and the older, he becomes the more time is added to him not. sheading.
But I only know a little about lizards. I'm mostly using google for this lol.
Danger noodles, dinosaurs, and anime DeathNote is the best. Shigadabi/Wriolette/Matchablossom for life, basically semi-working alcoholic, I am a writer (ItIsIAlex on Ao3)
