Bnha rant #16

Ayo ayo!! Today I bring to you another specimen to dissect with me :) Today? We're talking about One for all/All for one!

Canon showcases that you cannot have more than one quirk in your body without it causing some form of harm to you mentally/physically. This is showcased with the Nomus (there is probably some addition I'm missing to this seeing as I'm an anime only with the occasional spoiler thrown in there but for now this is all based on the anime). Nomus have more than one quirk -forcefully-and are barely capable of critical thinking/other qualities that separate [humans] from non-humans. This is due to the fact that they all had more than one quirk forced into them.

Now, how does this relate to One for all and All for one? Both of those quirks are quirks that give the user the ability to have more than one quirk at once. For All for one its the fact that the user can take multiple quirks and for One for all its the fact that the user can use other peoples quirks. Both quirks give the user more than one quirk than they were born with.

With the aforementioned fact that having more than one quirk forced into your body, All for one and One for all realistically should cause some form of brain damage.

TLDR: One for all and All for one should cause the user brain damage due to the fact that canon states that having more than one quirk forced into your body causes the user to revert to their animal brain.

Hi hi everyone!! I return with once again another thing about someone's quirk! Today? Bakugou Katsuki (I wanna say here at the top that I don't particularly like Bakugou so if there is any biasness or passive aggression in this that's why!)

Bakugou has excellent control over his quirk. This is stated in cannon however I don't think its ever expressed to the extent that it is.

His quirk (explosion) allows him to excrete a nitroglycerin-like sweat, which is all good and well except for the fact that nitroglycerin is a unstable explosive in its pure form.

Granted, the substance is only like nitroglycerin but it could still be unstable, meaning that Bakugou has to know how to move without causing explosions. Nitroglycerin goes off with a small jolt of movement so if Bakugou makes one wrong move it's likely something will explode. But, that never happens in cannon, likely meaning that Bakugou has such good control over his quirk that he can do drastic movements (as show below)

In addition to that, he is able to control when an explosion goes off. Which is another example of his control over his quirk.

TLDR: Bakugou has one of the most unstable quirks in class 1-A yet he has excellent control over it.

(p.s. do you like the new layout?)

Bnha rant #12

Todays quirk analysis is on Momo!

Analysis following canon starts here <3

Creation is a quirk that allows Momo to materialize/create (as the name implies) different non-living objects as long as she understands the atomic configuration of the object. She creates things by breaking down her body fat at a molecular level, which will then be re-used as material for her to shape into objects with her quirk.

The process that she has to go through to create things are:

-imagining the parts

-imagine the materials

-imagine the assembling process

-finally, imagining the coating

Momo can also change the materials of the objects she makes to give them special properties. She can also only half-way produce something, leaving it to protrude from her body.

Strengths

Momos quirk is very versatile and allows her to both be on the defense and offense. She also has one of the best quirks for working with a team, allowing her to produce things to help her teammates as a whole and individually.

Due to Momos high intelligence and quick thinking she is able to create plans almost any challenge she faces.

Weaknesses

Momo requires time to make things and so if she is continually attacked by her opponent she has no time to think and go on the offense.

What Momo makes depends on both the complexity and size of the object as well as the amount of fat lipids in her body. The more complex of an object, the more complex the item is, the more fat lipids she expends.

Momo ends up weakened if she doesn't have enough fat stored up to create things.

In order to create things she must understand it at an atomic level and so she isn't able to create things she doesn't understand at an atomic level.

Special moves

Yaoyorozu's Lucky Bag: Creating a cannon, Momo makes and shoots a bag that is filled with tools for her allies to use.

All the info above can be found on Momos wiki page :)

Questions

What is the biggest item Momo has ever created? The most complex item she has ever made? Does her body type change when she uses her quirk and does that cause her to have to constantly have clothing in all sizes?

Analysis following my own theory starts here !!

My personal theory is that her quirk is actually just an advanced metabolism. The way she trains her quirk in canon is much more aligned with the metabolism idea. During the training camp arch she continually eats while making things. After eating things they don't turn directly into fat lipids, making it much more likely she's using the energy from the food than the fat lipids.

There is also no noticeable change in her body type when using her quirk. I would think that expending your fat lipids to create things would make a change in your body type, so the lack of a body type change makes me think that her quirk is an advanced metabolism.

All of the theories above would allow her to make a drastic change in her hero costume, because she wouldn't need as large of a space create things. I'll probably touch on that during another rant, maybe during the support item saga :v

TLDR: A quick summary of Momos quirk and her special moves, as well as how I think her quirk would actually work.

Bnha rant #11

Time for some quirk analysis!! I'm very excited to share these so you can expect them to be very long :)

Today? Mina Ashido or Pinky <3

Here starts the analysis following canon

Mina produces a corrosive liquid from her skin, her skin is resistant to said acid. Her pink skin is a result of her quirk altering her skin pigment but, unlike her skin the acid is a grey color.

Mina is able to produce high amounts of acid from her skin and is able to control its form to an extent. She can also control the levels of the levels of solubility and viscosity of her acid.

Strengths

Mina is able to produce enough acid to melt solid objects, including metal. She is able to control the level of acidity and viscosity of the acid making her quirk extremely versatile. She is also able to use her acid to make entrance and exit holes into buildings.

Along with that she can use her ability to burn holes into things to climb buildings and walls. She is also excellent at mobility, producing acid under her feet and using it to skate around.

Weaknesses

Mina's skin isn't 100% acid proof so if she produces too much acid her skin will start to wear away. She also has difficulty controlling the he levels of solubility and viscosity of her acid, which makes her wary of fighting people. Her quirk also doesn't have any strength enhancing properties, making her a bit more reliant on her quirk.

Special moves

-Acid Veil: Mina maximizes her acid's solubility and viscosity and creates a powerful acid wall which blocks incoming projectiles. (Its powerful enough to break the balls in the provisional license exam, which are harder then concrete)

-Acid shot: Mina launches a barrage of acid bullets on an opponent and their surroundings

-Acid Layback: Mina produces acid from her feet to dissolve the surface of the ground, allowing her to spin faster. With the added speed she is able to throw projectiles at a higher speed

Grape-Pinky Combo Mineta-Bounce: The follow up for Acid layback; After using acid layback Mina throws Mineta and he throws Pop-off spheres and bounces off them

-Acidman (My personal favorite <3): Increasing the viscosity of her acid, she produces a large amount in a vaguely anthropomorphic form, covering her whole body. This move is also defensive and will dissolve an attack launched at Mina

All of the info above can be found on Minas Wikipedia page ^^

Questions

Where does Mina produce the acid from? Its obviously from her skin but is it from her pores? Or does she have two sets of pores, one for the acid and one for sebum (the stuff your pores normally produce)? Is her acid just a different version of sebum that she is able to control? (After the questions there will be a section on more detail about sebum and how it relates to Minas quirk) Where does the acid come from? Does she have a place to store the acid underneath her skin? Where does the acid come from? Is it in her blood stream?

Analysis following my own theory starts here!

Sebum is what your pores produce and, it is acidic. It has a pH level of 4 to 5.5 (anything below 7 is acidic). So this begs the question, is Minas quirk just her controlling the sebum she produces? The pores that produce sebum don't exist on palms and bottoms of the feet (places we see Mina produce acid from several times) so Mina would need to have extra pores on these spots.

Assuming Minas quirk is just her controlling the sebum she produces its more then likely she would also have the needed pores to produce sebum on her palms and the bottoms of her feet. Minas quirk changes the color of her skin to be a pinkish purple, so if we stick with the idea that her quirk, rather than it being 'producing acid from the skin' and being 'manipulating the sebum she produces naturally', it could be the natural coat of sebum on her skin that has caused this change. Though that is highly unlikely, just a little end thought :)

TLDR: For the first half, I just explained Minas Strengths and weaknesses as well as her Special moves. The second half is me talking about how her quirk would work if it was based on some form of evolution.
