How Tamaki Managed to Overcome His Weaknesses

Even though Tamaki is more of an introverted character and the polar opposite of his comrades, he is still as powerful and well-trained. The only downside to him is that he is not as confident as he should. Being a part of The Big 3, Tamaki has always been to himself and lacks self-esteem. He also looks towards his peers as a means of inspiration. He draws a lot of his inspiration from his friend Mirio who always puts on feats of bravery.

Not everyone is filled to the brim with ambition.

Tamaki believes in hard work and recognizes strength and always steps up to the plate when needed. Just like his fellow peers, Tamaki also has a strong sense of justice and will do everything in his power to keep the innocent safe. His potential was recognized from the very start, and he was later recruited to be No.58 pro hero – Fat Gum’s sidekick. He also believes in living up to the expectations of his mentors and others and strives his best not to let them down.

What Makes Manifest Such a Unique Quirk

Tamaki quirk is known as Manfiest, this quirk gives him the ability to alter his body with an attribute of what he eats. For example, if he eats something which has octopus in it, he is able to change his fingers into tentacles. On the other hand, if he eats things such as crab, he is able to change his fingers into crab-like claws. This does not mean that his manifestations are weak, but rather the opposite, as he is able to crush metal by just using his crab claws. Tamaki’s quirk is so versatile that he is also able to use it as a defense mechanism. This is seen when he eats clams and hardens his hands because of clamshells.

This also doesn’t mean that Tamaki can only use one attribute at a time. Thanks to all of his training, Tamaki can also generate multiple attributes at the same time if he eats a variety of food. This gives him a unique fighting style, as he is able to change his fingers on his right hand into tentacles and clamshells on his left hand, making him unpredictable during a fight, as he is able to use either at will and for either defense or offense. A couple of his signature moves can also be executed, such as Kraken, a powerful move where Tamaki can generate tentacles with suction cups to attack multiple villains at once.

The downside to this quirk is that the food still needs to be in his digestive system and once it has been fully digested, he loses the attributes generated by his quirk and goes back to normal. This is one of the reasons he carries a supply of food so that he can regenerate his abilities at will, this would give him an advantage during a battle. Another advantage is that the more he eats, the longer the quirk lasts. If he runs out of food, he will be unable to regenerate any attributes.

My Hero Academia is available to stream on Prime Video.
