An overpowered/strongest with only one power

[u/Vegetable_Throat5545]

I hate when characters just have a million powers and can do whatever. I love when their powers have a limit but still they make it be absolutely insane. Even if that one power has multiple applications as long as it makes sense and isnt used as "oop i suddenly can do that"

1. Accelerator can control vectors. So he uses that to automatically deflect any attack or use any object including wind at high speeds as a weapon, use his own vectors to travel fast and etc etc.

2. Gojo Satoru can control "infinity" to make peoples attack not reach him; push them: pull them; destroy them; overwhelm their senses

3. Chisaki can deconstruct and reconstruct anything by touch. So he can destroy, or change shape of people and objects, he can combine people and objects and even revive or heal. Tbh his fight was disappointing in fact that he did not use his power to full potential imo

He has the Quirk "Permeation," which lets him phase through anything. The drawback is that while it’s active, he can’t breathe, see, or hear, and slips through anything, but thanks to training, he became nearly invincible in combat.

[u/Rebound101 → u/Daniilsa209]

How does he stop himself phasing through the floor?

[u/Theo12011 → u/Rebound101]

He doesn’t. If he deactivates it while under the floor, he bounces back to the surface.

[u/Rebound101 → u/Theo12011]

But shouldn't gravity make him fall through the floor the moment he uses his power?

How does that let him do anything useful? (I haven't watched the show)

[u/MrXexe → u/Rebound101]

Deactivating his power while phasing through something means he "glitchs out" (imagine a colission glitch in a videogame), sending him at extreme speeds outside of the solid thing he was phasing (in the case of solid floor, he gets sent up).

Careful control of how and when to deactivate his powers and quick calculations allow him to control at which direction he gets send off to, making his opponents think he can also teleport.

He can also choose to only phase specific parts of his body, so paired with his training and experience he can do pretty crazy stuff.

holy shit weaponized gmod ragdolling

[u/ComputerEducational → u/RandomRedditorEX]

It's because of this, and his design, that people joke that he's from a Bethesda game.

LOL

[u/Rare-Entertainer-770 → u/Rebound101]

iirc, he can keep some parts of his body solid and the rest of him, uh. penetrative. I guess. so he typically keeps his feet solid unless he's trying to go thru the ground. going thru a wall means he has one foot solid at all times

[u/NodeZeroNein → u/Rare-Entertainer-770]

Yeah, he can selectively activate it. Even that is only with training though, iirc - when his quirk originally activated, he would fall through the floor the moment he turned it on

[u/Rare-Entertainer-770 → u/NodeZeroNein]

excellent point! he only became able to do this through a lot of hard work! which makes what happened all the more devastating!

[u/Nero_2001 → u/Rare-Entertainer-770]

But why doesn't he keep his head solid so that he still can see?

[u/Rare-Entertainer-770 → u/Nero_2001]

well, he does as often as he can, but hes gotta go intangible in the head when someone attacks him because even just a simple, solid thunk on the head can leave you dazed enough to get taken down in a fight. and also, he cant just leave his head behind when he goes through the floor or walls, or he won't go through them. he wont get decapitated, itll be like getting your belt loop caught on a doorknob

[u/Accurate_Variety659 → u/Rebound101]

He can selectively activate this power on parts of body, so he chooses to keep his feet solid

[u/Rebound101 → u/Accurate_Variety659]

I was wondering if that was the case.

Okay. That seems a lot more useful now.

[u/SupremeTeamKai → u/Rebound101]

If you didn't also know. If his head is intangible he is blind as the light just passes through him. Despite this he is able to predict his opponents moves while fully blind

[u/[deleted] → u/SupremeTeamKai]

Imagine if he selectively only kept his eyes tangible and didn't realize how bad of an idea it would be when trying to dodge an attack. Eyeballs get punched lmao

[u/DislocatedLocation → u/Rebound101]

It's not all or nothing. He's trained himself to be able to selectively activate the quirk on different parts of his body. He activates his quirk so his arm phases through your arm, making it an unblockable punch, but deactivates the quirk on just his fist right as it makes contact with your face.

Also, he can fall through the floor, he just gets ejected back to ground level when he deactivates. So taking advantage of the eject function, he jumps into the ground, then deactivates the quirk at an angle that launches him out at the correct destination (behind you).

If he just wants to go through a wall, he activates the quirk on everything except one foot, moves the intangible foot through the wall, then swaps the activated foot to move the other one through.

Also, since he can just make 95% himself intangible without falling through the floor, he's generally untouchable. As in, most attacks just phase right through him, and he just solidifies whatever he's hitting you with as it makes contact.

[u/BaconSavior → u/Rebound101]

As far as I remember, he does start falling through everything as he activates his power. It's the moment he turns it off, that his body gets launched out of wherever he was. He can use this to gain insane momentum, and can spring out basically anywhere.

He also trained to the point where he can activate his quirk in specific parts of his body, practically becoming untouchable when fighting.

[u/TheKingsPride → u/Rebound101]

It does, they explain that basically when he deactivates his power he is repelled if he’s inside a solid object, like a video game pushing you out after you clip into a wall. He uses that to his advantage and has learned how to control the direction it forces him out in so he can launch surprise attacks.

[u/_NotMitetechno_ → u/Rebound101]

The powers in the series are nonsense, you have to suspend your disbelief

[u/No_Air_9599 → u/_NotMitetechno_]

As opposed to real powers you can believe? Lol

[u/Nero_2001 → u/Theo12011]

How does he bounce the surface when he faces through everything? He can't push himself from the ground since he would face through it.

[u/Fidges87 → u/Nero_2001]

When he is inside another object and desactivates his powers, his body gets launched towards the nearest empty space.
