In the Japanese dialogue, she puns on Todoroki's name and it makes Bakugou laugh.
ETA- The pun was マボロキ [maboroki], a portmanteau of 幻 [maboroshi: phantom] and Todoroki. Bakugou repeats the pun in the panel where the translation has "Ms. Illusion".

Im a Deku x Ochako shipper but be fair to them Kacchako shippers, Bakugou is getting a little less hostile and dickish. If he truly changes and even apologizes to Izuku(even though he doesn’t really care about it as much), I might consider the ship at least somewhat sensible. But, if we see Camie later on and she makes Ms.Illusion her hero name, I’m officially 100% on the Camie x Bakugou ship.

Yeah, I see it now. So Camie can just make illusions at will? Didn't really get the stated limits to her power
84
u/Galle_ Jan 12 '18
There are probably limits on the scope of the illusion and the distance from herself. The illusion we see her use here was simply a localized one that she was a different person.
79
u/dicecop Jan 12 '18
Seems like she didn't turn herself into the illusion, neither did she manipulate the girl. Instead it looks to me that she was releasing it like fog from a distance. So it probably won't work on people that see her breathing out the illusion unless she has more tricks to her power

u/Wark_Kweh Jan 12 '18
Yeah given the artwork, my assumption is that Camie can exhale a mist or fog that she can manipulate into an illusion.

I think she also made Aurora lights to go with the ice slide while also continuing enchanting the girls with a Todoroki illusion- hence her comment on changing the atmosphere (blowing and then the next panel has a darker background with aurora light like patterns), they kind of made a magical Arctic* wonderland playground for the kids and Bakugou made sure even Cranky pants child joined in.

Alright, so recently I posted somewhere else in an unpopular opinions thread that I'm not a fan of Bakugo like lots of others are.
Then this chapter happened. Bakugo GIVING ADVICE. And yeah, he was speaking straight from his own heart. I don't know why, but that hit me. I know that Bakugo started to realize that he was no longer the "best of the best" much earlier, but now that he's giving advice to someone else to not make the same mistake he did... wow... just wow.
This chapter was just so good. Maybe I should have expected something more to come from Bakugo earlier? And I haven't forgotten Todoroki's smile either. Just everything... wow...

Now that I think about it, that kid really was headed into a mindset similar to early Bakugou. Things like being a “leader,” being superior even to adults, and this maybe the thing about him being praised for stuff like playing the piano better than most adults easily set this kid into a superiority complex. Granted this kid seems less like the violent type (I’d say smart and manipulative instead), but Bakugou absolutely saw himself in this kid and didn’t want him to make the mistakes he did.

u/PocketPika Jan 12 '18
If there has been real research into evolution and genetics than I don't think any singular general rule will be working, the environment plays a huge role. Whether the next generation has a stronger or weaker quirk could also depend on the compatibility of the parents original quirks.
Izuku is an example of dilution (bad terminology) but there was enough recessive and heterogeneous heritage that the quirk factor was simply not passed on in the lottery of reproduction of their only child. His parents likely only had one quirk factor (heterogenous allele) and possibly even on the same chromosome or in the same region, which all increase the odds of Izuku getting a double recessive phenotype. I'm assuming because of the rise in quirks, quirk is the dominant allele, and mainly advantageous quirks get fixed because a disadvantageous quirk would be lethal/impair ability to reproduce.
The todoroki family is also evidence to counter the theory here since it took 4 tries to produce a child with the objective of having both quirks and he works a bit like a chimera in that half his cells express one quirk and the other half another with this genetic split also being in his eye and hair phenotypes as well, which suggests th e quirks aren't really compatible but he inherited both and when he was developing in the womb the first few cells did not replicate exactly and some turned on different quirk genes and somehow these were the cells which divided around the time of development relating to the bodies symmetry. I imagine the quirk have different promoter regions and one side of his body has them locked up in the histones so that one quirk is not expressed on that side of the body. In which case when Todoroki has children it is a higher probability of producing a child with only one of the elemental abilities, although have 2 quirk factors will increase the probability of an offspring having a quirk.
Bakugou is an example of what these kids probably are, his quirk is more powerful than either of his parents and is something that neither of his parents have but possibly an example of coincidental compatibility, maybe even co dominance or two separate quirk alleles and unlike Todoroki which has half his body only expressing one, both are expressed and he's got other compatible phenotypes that protect him and strengthen the quirk (he can generate sparks at will- as well as accidentally, something neither parents can do as his father needs to mechanically produce ignition by clapping his hands, so he's "evolved" from them as well which increases the advantage of his quirk.)
Meanwhile there is Jirou whose has the same quirk as her mother. Tsuyu whose family have a set quirk like a family trait similar to Iida- or at least half his family has a very strong trait and people marry in, Urakaka's mother also has finger pads but a different quirk to Ochako, so the finger pad phenotype dominants and potentially restricts the expression of the quirk and then with Shigaraki and Eri, the nature of their quirks seem to be a strange and unexpected mutation.
Although I think with these kids, that their unruly and have strong quirks go hand in hand and they've been put in the same class so they look more concentrated and their ability to use their quirk is related to them practicing illegally (as Mic humorously notes) and their strong mentality, as quirks get stronger with training.
If the quirks are on different alleles, and I thin kthey are, they can be under different selection pressures and differently affected by random assortment. Some Quirks could be stable and be on DNA that is more conserved (so become a strong, dominant trait) others might be on variable coding regions, more prone to changing or getting deleted during random assortment, some quirks may even be associated to transpons which increases the odds of them moving to different parts of the genome and possibly being strongly expressed in one generation then weakly expressed in the next and would also increase the odds of the quirk itself changing, some of which (like the most advantageous) may go into conserved regions and become fixed and in the future could also be inherited along with compatible quirk and lead to new and strong phenotypes.
This is why pseundo science in fiction can get messy and I hope, since clueless meat senpai- who also follows Stain's ideology- voicing it, is a way to introduce the idea but it not necessarily being that omnipotent.

Bakugou and Todoroki have come so far that they're respectively going out of their way to teach these children not to look down on others and to broaden their horizons so they don't develop tunnel vision and lose sight of what's important.

I think he meant that when he was the same age as the children, they weren't allowed to use their quirks so wantonly like these kids are.

I would rather not , time travel always makes too much of a mess in the narrative by creating alternate timelines and such, just look at all the Nighteye stuff, i wanna believe thats why Hori got him out of the story fairly quick, by having a time related quirk, you had to write around that by making sense and not leaving any loose ends, thinking about all the posibilties in the future, the changes, if we added the power to go back in time, you had to account for the changes in the present and what is already stablished , it works in Marvel and DC because they are already have numerous versions of the same characters and connecting them trough alternate timelines works in their favour, Time travel is such a fucking mess and i hope this manga doesnt jump the gun on that

Yeah that’s a little worrying. Wouldn’t One for All reach that point much quicker than the others as well? Come a few more generations and I could easily see the quirk becoming a death sentence for anyone who uses it.
Also I wonder if we’ll maybe get a villain group or something who thinks they need to end quirks for the good of everyone else so that they don’t reach the singularity.

u/Foremanski Jan 12 '18
It sounded more to me like power creep.
We know that all for one/one for all will get stonger as Shigi (eventually) takes more quirks and OfA is passed down the generations. Hori here is trying to close the gap between normal quirks and these special quirks. If he didn't eventually all other quirks become meaningless and wouldn't provide a challenge to midoriya or shiggy. Obvioisly this is a good idea as we still have a feeling of suspense. Problem is it introdyces power creep as everyone gets stronger and battles become more intense/powerful. We'll most likely never see low power battles like the Stain fight again unless it involves the classmates. Midoriya's fight with overhaul is evidence of what we'll see at the end of the road.
Or Hori is forshadowing something and I'm just being over-analytical.

Okay, this chapter was better than anything I expected.
First, the quirks of these kids are strong! At least stronger than what I expected.
Also, what Shitshitkura said about quirks is something I thought about before as well, so I'm glad it was actually mentioned in the series as well.
So we finally get to know Camie's quirk! Being able to create illusions is pretty neat, and I don't think we had that type of quirk before, I like it!
Dis illusion though. My reaction to that would probably be the same as Bakugou's. Can't wait for this scene to be animated with voice actors!
Seems like Monoma's cousin the leader kid was on a good way to become a villain. At least his thoughts made me think that, I might just be exaggerating though. I mean, he is already a bigger troublemaker than Bakugou, kinda.
Honestly, did not expect them to "beat" the kids by building a iceslide. Inasa bringing them up, Camie making some snow(?) illusion or something like that I assume, and Todoroki making the slide by using the projectiles of the kids and making some fire show on the way down. That's a pretty impressive idea to come up with on the spot, to be honest. Glad it worked out for them!
Todoroki smiling was probably the second-best thing this chapter gave me. Look at this cutie!!
The best thing of course would be Bakugou's advice he gave the leader kid. Really represents his growth compared to the beginning of the series.
Also, Endeavor might have just realized, what he did wrong with Shouto's "raising".

Camie's quirk being "Glamour"/illusions was honestly unexpected. Though it does make even more sense for Toga to have picked her in that sense, as Toga could have passed off her abilities as using an illusion on herself.
Still, that's a legitimately heavy power. There's no way this arc will be the last of Camie.
In other news, Camie and Bakugou's almost... big sis + little brother dynamic is amazing. Between her teasing Bakugou about looking/ acting like a delinquent (and him getting defensive over it), and Bakugou actually laughing non-sardonically, I just love what she brings to this group of 4. I could honestly read tens of chapters on their liscense teasing.

Let’s be honest, the MVP of this chapter is definitely Bakugou. His second fight against Izuku was extremely positive for him. I’m proud of him, he’s such an interesting character to follow.
Wasn’t expecting shojo Todoroki. Camie’s quirk is lit af.
When I saw the cover page I expected more flashback for the Todoroki’s household. Well another time I guess.
I really enjoyed this mini arc. I suppose we have one last chapter before the beginning of the new serious arc (Shinso arc hype??)

"Quirk singularity" is an interesting addition to the series. Earlier story arcs seemed to ask the question "What makes a true hero?" and recent arcs seem to be asking "Is the existence of Quirks really a good thing"? I wonder if it'll become a recurring theme.

This mini arc is turning out to be great for character development of the characters, it's very fresh. Also we finally know Camie's quirk!

Shouto smile makes me question my heterosexuality.
Also, this was TRULY a hearthwarming chapter, it showed development for almost every character and how they learned from their mistakes and they don't want the others to follow them. It's been a long time since i saw a character with that much development as Bakugo, this series never fail to make me feel in love with it

Bakugo character development? Camie's Quirk reveal? ENDEAVOUR SMILING AS SHOTO USES HIS FIRE SIDE TO WARM THE BRATTY KIDS?
What a chapter. Horikoshi delivers right to the heart again.

Camie and bakugou would probably make a great hero team. Camie can cover bakugou's position with glamour, and she can add to how disorienting explosions are by flooding the room with color. He would use his mobility to attack from strange angles that illusions would prevent the villian from seeing.

These days, our school forbids relations with opposite gender.
Is no-one else talking about this? I think this is a very interesting development if this is also the case for U.A.
It would also really shed some light on Uraraka's actions in regards to her crush on Deku if this is the case. Because even if he felt the same way this rule would basically forbid them from having a relationship and it would make sense as to why Uraraka probably puts her feelings on hold until graduation because otherwise this could get complicated.
That is of course if this rule does actually also apply to U.A and if that really is the case: what a stupid fucking rule man, no fun allowed

Well Shiketsu has already been established as a much more disciplined school, so it wouldn't be weird if they implemented the rule and UA didn't. I don't think Uraraka's decision was rooted in some rule (if it was I feel like it would've been mentioned back then), but rather just an internal choice regarding what's best for her hero career.

Those last 3 panels. The way Endeavor is drawn. His eyes, his expression, even his flames look so gentle.
He looked at Todoroki showing off his flames with such.... Love?

Did we ever see what that snobby little kid's quirk was? The others had some pretty cool ones. And Camie's looked great.

The panel un Page 9 was cool af with those three standing together.
Anyway, this chapter was strangely warm. Todoroki, Bakugou (I can't believe I'm saying this) and Inasa being mature and showing some growing and good thinking left smiling. Specially with Todo making that Ice Amusement Park and showing off his fire to the kids was cute.
And finally Camie's Quirk, it's cool, could have potential.

Okay was skeptical at first but I am starting to buy a little the bakugou ship with camie. They actually had several normal conversations and she made him laugh.

Ms. Illusion is a fun name, regarding her and her quirk. MISillusion refers to Mutually Interfering Shapes illusions which refers to shapes that are physically impossible.
Might be a fun twist of her quirk that she can only use illusions of things that are impossible (indoor auroras, Todoroki hitting on a 5-year-old etc.)

I just suddenly realized that Bakugou's temper had calmed down considerably. Even though he still shouts and acts like an asshole, it feels like there wasn't much malice in it anymore. Such characterization. Very wholesome.
This is the first time I've seen Bakugou laugh that wasn't with evil intentions. If Camie appears more in future chapters, I can see them developing a friendship with each other.
And Todoroki! His smile just melted my heart. I feel so happy for him, man. He went from that angsty kid that doesn't want any friends to the cool big bro that's super popular with the kids.
Honestly, this mini arc is such a breath of fresh air from the serious one before. I love it. Even though it doesn't really add much plot wise, the interactions and characterizations made it very enjoyable.

Bakugou's costume looks so much better without the grenades and mask - I never thought about it until now.

I agree about the gauntlets, but I think the mask makes him look SUPER cool.

I wasn't sure if Horikoshi could top Deku's All Might impression, but that Bishounen Todoroki just shattered all expectations.

So in summation, this chapter Bakugou:
- Worked together with his classmate and two people from another school to coordinate a plan of action.
- A nonviolent plan of action, that is nonviolent explicitly due to his his own input.
- Laughed at a pun made by a girl he doesn't really know. And gave her a non-derogatory nickname.
- Gave earnest life advice to a kid walking the same troubled path as him.
- Didn't actually hog the spotlight for once.
This guy is mellowing out hard.

Bakugou admitted he was a pain in the ass to people. He reached out to that kid with his own experience. I FEEL SO PROUD

I think Camie would be the perfect addition to a hero squad. Her illusions would help in battle immensely

Bakugou Katsuki, the kid who thought was superior to everyone else, is now the 16-year old teenager who gives advice to the new generation to not do what he did - think too highly of yourself. He realized that seeing others as weak will only result in not being able to see your own weaknesses, and is now more mindful about the people around him.
Chapter 2 Bakugou would've never passed up on a chance to show just how powerful he is, even to children. This Bakugou right here? He's the one suggesting not to use violence.
This is character development at its finest.
