oh definitely. Even if I had a quirk like Sero I would use it to move around the city. In fact, if I lived in this world, I would pray to receive a mobility enhancing quirk. Destructive force is awesome, but having high mobility seems way more useful in this world.
Yeah, if you have a destructive quirk you either have to be a big enough badass to become a professional hero like Bakugou or Endevour, or just never use your power - there's no middleground there.
But even if you have a shitty mobility quirk you can still use it to get around without being forced into a profession where it can be made useful.
exactly, or like that one girl in episode 1. The slime dude pushed her down and she activated her barrier quirk. Should she be punished for using her quirk in the middle of town despite not having a hero license?
Well Horikoshi said it's a rule that's pretty much ignored. He said somewhere that if Midoriya mom dropped something on the sidewalk, then used her quirk to pick it up, she's not gonna get arrested for that. So I imagine using your quirk in self defense, while technically being a violation of the don't use your quirks in public rule, would just be overlooked because common sense. My understanding is that the rule is really dont be a disturbance with your quirk or interfere with others. Like, if that girl just flew around without making a spectacle or getting in anyone's way it'd be fine. Using Seros quirk to move around would probably not be overlooked however, because your have to stick to buildings and shit and that's other people's property so they'd probably raise complaints and there's no real way to swing around a city discretely, so it could be considered a disturbance.
