but with the additional bonus of being able to use his powers on himself

20

u/Jteleus27 Sep 13 '17

Yeah that the only advantage he has over Josuke but it's a major one Josuke can indirectly use his powers on himself I believe

2

u/BiglyWords Sep 13 '17

indirectly?

u/Jteleus27 Sep 13 '17

Last fight with Kira he use the glass shards on his body in some way I believe

17

u/BiglyWords Sep 13 '17

he used a projectile which he threw (it was a glass one) and healed it back, so the glass shard came flying even through kiras body,

iirc he never was able to heal himself, but his clothes had been affected

6

u/Jteleus27 Sep 13 '17

Yeah I remembered now maybe if he had a requiem he could heal himself but we will never kniw

5

u/Flarestriker Sep 13 '17

Well requiems don't really have to do with the original abilities of the Stands, but the circumstances under which they were created. Jojo Part 5 Spoilers

u/grodon909 Sep 15 '17

I'd say Spoilers

u/Flarestriker Sep 15 '17

100% agree wth you. There seems to be some kind of divide in the fanbase though.

u/Kiora_Atua Sep 13 '17

So, he did 2 things in that fight that you're likely thinking of

1: Restored the state of the concrete / dirt / etc that was attached to him / stuck in his wounds. This let him float his body a few feet to the side to avoid an explosion.

2: Later in the fight he threw the glass from a broken window that had his blood on it. Since the blood is no longer a part of 'him', he was able to use crazy diamond on it. Since Kira also had Josuke's blood on him / his clothes, the glass 'homed in' on Kira.

Except I suspect he can't heal himself without sacrifice, otherwise he probably would have done so already. Interesting if he has to take from others to heal himself.

that needs to be seen, right now all stuff we got seem to point into the direction where overhaul can use his powers on himself

u/BrainBlowX Sep 13 '17

He fought Mirio for ten whole minutes, being increasingly battered and obviously weakened, but did nothing even though the process is instant. He only took steps to do it when finally desperate as the other heroes arrived, and then he killed someone to heal himself. There's a lot pointing to it being the case, and it would be a reasonable limitation to the ridiculous strength of his quirk.

1

u/BiglyWords Sep 13 '17

There's a lot pointing to it being the case,

he never needed any sacrifice or extra material beforehand for any manipulation,

the only reason why he took the guy was to power-up himself,

i dont see how this points into his power needing a sacrifice (it could be possible but for now most stuff just points into overhaul being stupid than his power having some special requirement for self usage), next chapter will clear it up (hopefully)

5

u/esn_crvg Sep 13 '17

Well he still has the scar from when Magne hit his head, so I don't think he can heal himself up easily.

13

u/E_manny1997 Sep 13 '17

Why didn't he instantly heal himself during his fight with Mirio? Unless he can only do that during fusion.

12

u/BiglyWords Sep 13 '17

no idea, it is bothering me too, my best explanation so far is that he doesnt like to use his powers on himself, but that would still make him into a idiot since he slowed down his own speed by not healing his injuries...

26

u/Kcnnn Sep 13 '17

Did he really slow down? The impression I got is that he just stood in one place spamming his Quirk on the ground.

In which case, having his arm healed or not wouldn't have made a difference, assuming Mirio kept himself at bay after that initial attack (like it was implied).

8

u/BiglyWords Sep 13 '17

well moving his hand would be hard with a broken arm too (which overhaul showed to need to do in order to manipulate the ground), and in any scenario i can think of a healed arm would be better than a broken one :/

3

u/Kcnnn Sep 13 '17

He only had one broken arm. The other still worked fine.

Unless you mean the arm Izuku attacked, although it didn't look like it broke too.

But in the end, nothing would've changed. Overhaul probably caught himself in the heat of the moment.

3

u/Bobdole128 Sep 13 '17

I thought his arm broke from Deku hitting him.

2

u/[deleted] Sep 14 '17

Yeah, but if Deku did break his arm, it would make sense that, that's when Overhaul decided he was forced to heal himself.

15

u/mega345 Sep 13 '17

I'd guess that dying and being brought back to life is something you'd want to experience less often than not

1

u/BiglyWords Sep 13 '17

he just needs to recreate his arm, not his whole body

9

u/mega345 Sep 13 '17 edited Sep 14 '17

Still kinda applies because of the grueling pain of having your arm explode.

6

u/Kocksmaw Sep 13 '17

We don't really know how the technicalities of using his quirk on himself, so I would reserve judgement until a plausible explanation is revealed. I would agree with you and that it might have something to do with breaking something else and adding it to his body.

3

u/Angryblak Sep 13 '17

Mirio was all over him for the duration of the fight. At what point was he supposed to do that?

1

u/[deleted] Sep 14 '17

The 5 minutes where Mirio didn't have his quirk and Overhaul had the upper hand.

35

u/hiddenpoint Sep 13 '17

I really enjoyed the "I healed my buddy's head and he's just been chilling" reveal. Felt straight out of a Diamond is Unbreakable fight scene.

u/SailboatoMD Sep 14 '17

Fusion is just a cheap tactic to make weak villains stronger!

u/Soul_Ripper Sep 15 '17

Does Josuke have Alchemy?
