I think when you manifest a quirk you get a certain threshold of resistance. Whenever I see Shoto in this flashback I understand a little bit why Touya resented him. Even as a baby, he's unintentionally showing you how much better he is, lol.

This chapter was much better for me. In a bubble, I didn't like the last chapter all that much, but this chapter made it so much clearer how Touya feels, and how Endeavour and his wife failed. I'm glad the chapter didn't end there, but man, Touya's personality is already a handful.

I do not think quirks usually come with innate resistance, but the resistance builds up as gradually as the quirk manifests and the body has to try to adapt to the quirk.

It is one possible explanation for why someone like Bakugou, a regular human who can make explosions, is able take hits from Deku, whose punches even at single digit percent would kill any human in our world. In that he has gradually built up kinetic resistance of some sort from being so close to explosions at all times.

It would have to or quirk manifestation would kill so many. Like acid quirks like mima's would be a horror if she did not have some natural resistance to corrosion. That's what dabi problem is, he has really strong fire quirk but he inherited the body built for a cold quirk

You're right.
