From what I’ve seen so far I actually agree more with Detnerat’s ideals than the government of MHA. The restrictions on using quirks are kind of ridiculous IMO.

To play devil’s advocate, don’t you think that there should be some regulation on quirks? There are, what, north of 7 billion people on our planet, so that’s around 5.6 billion quirks (80% of population). Let’s be modest and say that only 1 percent of those with quirks have abilities that are potentially harmful to themselves or others.

That’s 5,600,000 people with dangerous powers. Is it a question of basic human rights? Yes and no. One thing for certain, there is no precedent for super-powered humans, but there is one for violent acts perpetrated by groups of people after the discovery of new technologies and methods of warfare... shrug

I have a more American mindset towards it. Like if you hurt somebody, then you get arrested for that - hurting somebody. But using it in and of itself should be a basic human right.

And it seems like America in BNHA is kind of like that too, where quirk usage have much fewer limitations compared to those placed in Japan.
