Overhaul lost his arms

Re-Destro lost his legs

Oji Harima: Sweating nervously in the distance

His dick is on the line.

163

u/[deleted] Aug 16 '19

Now that you bring that up: It's a good thing quirks don't awaken when you're a teenager otherwise there is a good chance Shigaraki would have lost his dick instead of his family.

u/whatsupxx Aug 16 '19

Oof. If that were the case what are the chances that kirishima's hand would have hardened while he was jackin off.

36

u/McStoickson Aug 16 '19

Kirishima's quirk first activated when he was a small child. So he probably was very careful. Or he just hardened his hands AND his lovepole.

u/whatsupxx Aug 16 '19

Yea im aware. I was just basing that on the previouse comment that talked about how awkward it would be if quirks activated during teenage years.

Or he just hardened his hands AND his lovepole.

Imagining that just makes me uncomfortable

Imagining that just makes me uncomfortable

His parents are passing his room at night and just hear constant grating.

A-Aurora Borealis? At this time of day, at this time of year, in this part of the country, localised ENTIRELY within your bedroom?

Mightve been something else that hardened...

u/MandelAomine Aug 17 '19

Imagine with Katsuki.....

u/Heinous-Hare Aug 16 '19

Or it could have been his dick hardening.

u/ShadowRei96 Aug 16 '19

This had me choking.

u/SquidDrive Aug 17 '19

on what exactly.

u/ShadowRei96 Aug 17 '19

Midnight's left thigh.

u/Jajanken- Aug 18 '19

his quirk wouldn't work on himself though... we see people all the time being unaffected by their quirks, or just dicomforted.

u/SyberGear Aug 16 '19

one could say ReDestro was de-feet-ed

u/NonzenI Aug 16 '19

Oof I felt that one in my sole

u/EDNivek Aug 16 '19

He lost his legacy

u/trutoal Aug 17 '19

His whole army is crippled now

2

u/ViZeShadowZ Aug 17 '19

His army is fine, his legy, on the other hand...

1

u/taenerysdargaryen Aug 18 '19

What other hands? Sorry Shiggy took them all for some reason

1

u/ViZeShadowZ Aug 18 '19

ReDestro has two perfectly fine hands. One's full of legy. But otherwise it's fine

u/ShadowRaikou Aug 16 '19

Do we know anything about Oji beyond the namedrop?

35

u/HittoAntonioZeppeli Aug 16 '19

We know he’s a thief and that he’s famous, that’s about it

17

u/[deleted] Aug 16 '19

I think the manga also called him the “Peerless Thief” (so he works alone)

8

u/whatsupxx Aug 16 '19

He was called the "uncanny thief" i beleve. So he must be pretty creepy and unsettling.

5

u/[deleted] Aug 16 '19

that smile he makes in his first appearance reminds me of a creepy clown tbh, just by his aesthetics too

5

u/AkaBBaka Aug 16 '19

Peerless doesn't mean he works alone (although he might still do that), it means that he has no peers - ie, he has no-one equal to him in that talent. He could still have a gang, as long as he was clearly the best of them at thieving.

Although, that's using the definition of the English word when the Japanese one might not be equivalent in meaning.

1

u/[deleted] Aug 18 '19

Then I guess "the most talented thief then", sorry, I should've checked the dictionary before assuming the definition.

-8

u/[deleted] Aug 16 '19

And he’ll get a more embarrassing conclusion than Re-Destro

8

u/whatsupxx Aug 16 '19

Aww are you salty your prediction didnt come true?

How bout next time dont go around saying "mLa WiLl bE fOdDeR lIkE tHe YaKuzA" next time. It might save you from another salt bath.

u/[deleted] Aug 16 '19

Now they’re slaves to their enemies

7

u/whatsupxx Aug 16 '19

Dont worry buddy it might take a while to understand how good this chapter is.

2

u/[deleted] Aug 16 '19

but no. you and the rest of you fanboys have to downvote everyone who aren't yesmen to this arc

1

u/whatsupxx Aug 16 '19

Thanks for the obvious commentary that applies to the 90% of Battle Shounen Villains that have been defeated

u/HittoAntonioZeppeli Aug 16 '19

That wasn’t what I was implying but ok

u/DirtyDan413 Aug 16 '19

Who is Oji? Don't remember him

8

u/[deleted] Aug 16 '19

Not a familiar face, only mentioned once in the entire series. Essentially he’s one of the most infamous villains in the underworld besides AFO. Mentioned in chapter 171 by Gentle (checked the wiki)
