Seriously though I wonder if her quirk just ignores durability. AFO gangster until he gets crabbed.
He can cut air if he wants.
And even heavier questions: would it be worth being in-between those thighs if they can kill you?
>Seriously though I wonder if her quirk just ignores durability. AFO gangster until he gets crabbed.
I think she missed her calling as a Hero, especially if she's limited in using her Quirk on the force.
What a disgrace I am...
^(Worth the risk)
Comics quicksilver is more a speedster like flash but movie version is more speed burst guy to the point of almost stopping time.
I don't think it has a cooldown so much as a charge-up period
i did spot that it looked like it wasn't real bullets in the pistols, but yeah in real life i don't think those would have been much less dangerous if they are being shot with normal bullet casing with gunpowder?
Bad guy here seems pretty OP if he can slow down time around himself that much for that long
More and more Koichi feels like Pop's boyfriend who comes with her to her idol stuff and who plays househusband back at their rooftop love nest.
>i did spot that it looked like it wasn't real bullets in the pistols, but yeah in real life i don't think those would have been much less dangerous if they are being shot with normal bullet casing with gunpowder?
It definitely look like they did some decent damage to Mr. Reverse-Flash and the police.
At point blank? Fuck no. That shit is deadly even with blanks, much less a rubber bullet.
Although it looks more intimidating, a shotgun with beanbag rounds may have been more appropriate for the situation.
The main difference is mostly the penetrating power. It was pretty realistic aside from the initial shot that grazed his leg. A rubber bullet would not have left a graze wound like that. The really interesting thing is that what he touched seemed to be unaffected, ala time-stop shenanigans rather than just super speed, otherwise he shouldn't have been able to fire each gun more than once.
Less dangerous ? A rubber bullet is not a nerf gun sponge.It grazed the speedster and cause him to bleed . Imagine being shot at point blank without any body protection, your innards would be suffering major haemorrhage .
An australian reporter covering the Los Angeles "riot" last year was shot with a rubber bullet on her leg by LAPD and she is limping afterwards.

Crab drug smuggleing ring? We got Crab Cop on the case.
THE CRAB BOTS WALK SIDEWAYS!
Oh shes good at getting into places, go Crab Cop.
We found suspicious box and suspicious packets in it nice.
Oh that scar face person she found is the fast guy from s 1.
Dang he got the goods and got out of there.
CRAB BOTS ARE ON THE ATTACK HES SPEED HACKIN!
Oh no Pops crab bot went nuts too thats bad.
Oh Crab Cop's quirk is crab clip wow thats cool.
Oh the Crab bots blew up the drugs damn...
ROOMBA CRAB SPECIAL TOWER TO HEAVEN! YES!
Hmm Scar Face's quirk seems to be bursts of speed.
They were able to get him when he slowed down.
Oh he can slow down time too it seems damn hes causin havok....
FAT GUM FAST BALL CRAB SPECIAL! NEAT!
OoOOo so anything she can fit between her body can be snipped? Cool.
We saved Pop but its gonna blow still shit.
FAT FROM THE TOP ROPE WITH THE HUMAN SHIELD LETS GOOOO!
HES GONNA BLOW OH SHIT FAT EXPLOSION! OH NO HES HOT AGAIN!
Well they need to catch their train so they are off home now.
POP RIDING ROOMBA IS THE BEST THING EVER! AAAAAA!
Pop thinkin abbout roomba heroics again ooOooOoo.
And hes passed out from all the action classic. Hes great.
It's funny how "Police Babe" Kaniko had crab-centric hair and Quirk before she even went undercover as a crab idol at a crab company, but she's actually pretty good at the police stuff too in terms of being able to slip in and find evidence beneath everyones' notice. And she's not going to get tricked by an attempt to obsfucate drugs or the one part-time employee who doesn't fit!
It's just too bad that "employee" is none other than an evil Speedster who can be gone and abscond with your gun in the blink of an eye. Also, obviously, faster than "Fatyan" and willing to use the crab mecha's to cause chaos and endanger people.
So police officers with Quirks are expected not to use their Quirks on the job? Is that the same for the animal officers too? Though honestly I feel like Kaniko works great as Fat Gum's sidekick. They even have their own Fastball Special variant that gets an eyecatch!
You do a company a solid by putting yourself in a crab mecha, despite it being embarrassing, and next thing you know you're being carried all around a venue in an out-of-control mecha and nearly dying. Pop cannot win...well, other than Koichi being there for her!
Is this Speedster faster than a speeding bullet? When he's actually able to use his Speed Quirk, yes, otherwise he takes a bullet to the leg. But when he IS able to use his speed, time utterly freezes and he can have his way with his enemies. And for a guy who says "violence isn't his thing" he sure seemed to enjoy shooting at the police with rubber bullets.
It's convenient that Koichi's costumed identity hinges on wearing a hoodie of a public figure so basically he can always find a makeshift costume. And that's how we get The Crawler: Tower of Heaven variant!
Kaniko's legs can slice and dice too? Tempting.
Can Fat Gum absorb a bomb explosion? Yes, but he has to explode himself too. Though it also means we get to see Low-Fat Gum too.
That was really nice of the Kanidoge employer to let Koichi and Pop go because getting questioned by police and missing their train would be mighty inconvenient (especially when they have secret identities from the police AND their parents). Tsukauchi also finds out his sister is running an agency that employees or is associated with vigilante figures so...that's definitely going to lead to a family conversation.
This incident was kind of a mess but at least Koichi came out of it with some fond travel memories. Pop, for her part, at least got to enjoy being saved by her hero...even if she still can never find the right time to convey how much she appreciates him. But she looked really cute riding on his back.
At point blank range those rubber bullets to the head can kill you. Especially when he's firing 5 of them. So he did take it pretty easy by going the non lethal route.
Overall, [this was a pretty fun episode](https://imgchest.com/p/na7kk3mxw78)! [Kaniko was definitely the MVP of it](https://imgchest.com/p/agyvnmqzk48) for me. [She's great](https://cdn.imgchest.com/files/5a1d1725837f.png), so I hope she'll appear in future episodes as well.
[Pop☆Step](https://imgchest.com/p/ej7megwzayd) and [Koichi](https://imgchest.com/p/ne7b68dwgy5) didn't have much to do, but [Koichi was really cool when he went to help Pop☆Step despite the bomb](https://cdn.imgchest.com/files/8a797545e713.png). It's a shame [he fell asleep when Pop☆Step tried to thank him on the train](https://cdn.imgchest.com/files/d5ace5e25e5e.png).
Oh, and [congratulations to Koichi for buying another All Might hoodie](https://cdn.imgchest.com/files/d82098ba77be.png). It looks like he still didn't have enough of them xD

>Fat Gum: Turns out being a charming goofball can get you into most places most of the time
I think that’s quite accurate.
Oh villain went from boy next door to daddy voice within seconds, I respect that.
I thought she said batman 😭
Mobile workers going crazy is just the energy I need seeing the gundam double feature tonight!
>It’s clobbering time!
😭
>Fat Gum: ‘Cause you know Fat Gum lives to please
O-Oh my 😳
Ooooh dayum those halfway title animations were wicked sick.
Which Flash variant is this fellow?
The dude turned into a Buddhist fidget spinner, oh my goodness 😭
Oh he did get shot. I’m having flashbacks to MCU Age of Ultron.
Someone needs to edit this slow-mo to that music Quicksilver listens to when he saves the X-men from their mansion blowing up.
Speedster is like Homura (*Madoka*) now. I’m reminded of Rebellion.
Oh my god, it just dawned on me now Kaniko(sp?)’s quirk reminds me of Übel (*Frieren*).
Don’t look behind you, just *run!*
***OH MY FUCKING GOD*** Fat Gum’s biceps holy fuck his biceps, I have been blessed today 😩
He’s hot with his extra padding, he’s hot without it. But his biceps, oh my goodness. Fat Gum is on my list 2026 best biceps.
***
I think I lost all rationality at Fat Gum’s biceps. My word. I feel so distracted now.
In a world of superheroes and villains, mobile workers being used for a crab company isn’t all that far fetched. I think this would fall under requiring all-purpose heavy equipment operator cert?
But putting a teen idol in that is *crazy*. What are the labor laws and industry safety standards does society have 😭
**Oh.**
I hope they offer at least a nice sale on their crabs once all drug-riddled packs are confiscated and all that.
Fat Gum’s biceps make me become entire chorus of Tyla’s “Water”. I can’t stop thinking about them.
Wait for his cool down then keep on shooting him in the legs, except no more rubber bullets.
Too bad he was up against Tsukauchi. He may not have a quirk, but he has this OP thing called “Being a main series character”. It’s basically invincibility.
Fatgum gets his own eye-catcher animation? Unexpected but cool.
Crab girl seriously just scissored those robots with her legs……
[Koichi explaining that he has a limited edition hoodie](https://i.imgur.com/1Z80eP2.jpeg) while Pop is still strapped to the exploding crab-bot was hilarious! Explain that later and save Pop first! This really makes me wish we could've seen Koichi and Deku meet just so the two of them can geek out over All Might merch.
[Mystery speedster villain is a dick](https://i.imgur.com/hex7vIv.jpeg), but I'm not gonna lie, showing everyone moving in super slow-mo while he moves normally will always be my favourite way of showing how fast a character is moving. [Shooting everyone with their own guns](https://i.imgur.com/hFbpH1f.jpeg) was pretty sick.
[The fact that Kaniko can cut anything, not just between her fingers, but between her legs too](https://i.imgur.com/ClBd1u9.jpeg) is definitely something I did not expect, but the implications of that are certainly interesting for those who like to live dangerously. ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)
[We get to see the Low-Fat version of Fatgum!](https://i.imgur.com/H4cr1VB.jpeg) I do love that he starts eating as soon as he can, since he's actually pretty weak when he's in low-fat mode.
It will be intersting to see [how Makoto will react to Tsukaichi questioning her about Koichi and Pop.](https://i.imgur.com/O8tsD3n.jpeg) I'm sure she won't just give away who they are to her brother.
Koichi and Deku can commiserate over being able to make makeshift costumes out of All Might merch. Surprisingly handy to have!
Speedster baddie was flexing soooo hard.
I think most men would probably be tempted to get in-between those legs...
I wonder if he's going to ask her to give him Pop (and possibly the Crawler's) real identity so he can interrogate them?
For the first few moments, I thought I accidentally played last episode
Beg pardon? Good luck to the guy who ends up hooking up with her.
**Date** : Hell no!
Pretty cool episode! I like ms Police Babe and her funny quirk (imagine a martial artist could make some pretty big damage with that, or a burglar for that matter...), hope she becomes a recurring character.
Close enough. Hello Ben Grimm.
😳
"She can snip anything she can fit between her legs"
💀
Though of course guns are rarely used unless it's to show that they're useless, or the MC(with no major ability to dodge), just dodges anyways.
It was interesting to see what happens when there is too much stored in Fatgum that he can't control.
YEEEEEES!
God I hope them finding the card means we get more Fat Gum. He's my favorite.
I also really appreciate them using crab mechs as the loading and unloading machinery for a crab company.
Speedster dude isn't being directly murderous just yet but that was still pretty vicious.
I really enjoy the comedy mixed with action / drama in Vigilantes. For me it's the perfect mix.
