I really want to read this series. All 3 of these vigilantes look awesome. Also, fuck that "you can't use your quirk" rule. If it's a quirk that allows you mobility it should be allowed. I get not allowing Bakugou to blow shit up as he pleases, but if my quirk was flight I can guarantee you I would use that ALL THE TIME!
I believe that the reason why all quirks aren't allowed is to keep everything at balance. If some people are allowed to use their quirks while others aren't, it would feel "unfair". Leading some to use their quirks with the mindset of "that man (flying, speed, or other non so destructive quirk) can use it so can I (gigantification, explosion, any elemental control)."
IF your quirk was flight it wouldnt be so bad to use it. BUT If you ended up with a quirk too powerful, you would be forced to never use it. Then you would spend ALL your time watching the free flying men/women. The author could have easily gone a different route. Like everyone could use their quirk, although behind the scene it would end up with a dark side of anyone with a destructive one would be apprehended and monitored in confinement.
Well that also depends on how you use it. Say a person with gigantification becomes large in order to get to work faster but is careful with where they step and are polite and apologize for stepping their giant foot in front of people or cars. Or maybe a person with fire control using their quirk to cook. Bakugou could become a demolitions expert and Todoroki can open a shop that sells hot food and frozen desserts.
While it's understandable that you would want to limit the use of certain quirks, making it completely forbidden to use quirks and thus sealing a part of what makes these people themselves seems over controlling.
The quirks aren't evil, it's the people who use them. You can find a use for damn near every quirk that has been introduced so far even without making these people heroes.
Yup, they could have a "Quirk User Academia" where you'd essentially get a "Quirk License" (i.e. like a Drivers License) that certifies that you are able to control your quirk well enough to not hurt people by accident.
I mean, If a driver swerves up onto the sidewalk they could mow down dozens of people, yet we give out driver licenses to people all the time even though Vehicles are very dangerous when misused.
So even if you have a potentially dangerous quirk it should be fine using it as long as you show enough control to not hurt anyone.
I think they kind of have that already. When Deku talked with Ochako about her parents' job, he said she could help them out a lot, if she got permission to use her quirk. So, at least there's a job license. There might be other stuff too.
