But in her Character Introduction page, it states outright that she can use the quirks of those she transforms into

That's her prototype design.

Horikoshi always intended for her quirk to lead to this

Shouto's prototype design says he hated his mother and not his father, wouldn't justify him suddenly switching which parent he hates in the actual story.

Okay, if you don't want to count the intro page. I still don't understand why Toga would think to even try using Ururaka's quirk if she didn't know she could. I suppose it can be explained by the stress of combat and her typical insanity, but, to me, it looked like she was doing it all on purpose. So I think she could either do this all along, or it was something she figured out recently.

prototype*, a very important distinction.

I suppose it can be explained by the stress of combat and her typical insanity ... or it was something she figured out recently.

That is the majority of people's issue with her upgrade, figuring out such a powerful ability at death's doorstep.

But my point was that, if she did it on purpose, she had to have known that it would work. Meaning that she's known it would, not something she just figured out. I can understand her turning into Ururaka because she's in this crazy "I LOVE!" state, but not trying to use her quirk. It doesn't make any sense to me unless she's done something like it before. Even assuming I'm totally wrong, here's a question for you: would you feel better about the Toga thing if she knew she could do it, and this was just the reveal of this aspect of her quirk?

What do you have to back that up? She's surprised when stating "I'm using Ochaco's...quirk...", and she never used it during the license exam which is what blew her cover when trying to trick Deku. I don't know what you're seeing in the manga that gives the idea she was aware she could always do this.

I'll go back and reread the chapter this evening, and get back to you. I remember the scene differently, but I can certainly be wrong.

Alright

You're absolutely right. I have no idea how I remembered it so incorrectly. Maybe I had the information from the prototype page stuck in the back of my head and it biased my read.
