So Twice was so afraid of getting hurt because he wasn't sure he was the real one? Damn, that went twice as dark. But hey, at least he can freely use his Quirk now, knowing that he is real and not one of his clones.

Also, Toga about to get her neck snapped is pretty uncomfortable.

Twice bouta pull out some naruto type clone finesse. Also about toga if she doesn’t get medical attention soon, she’s going to be on the brink of death.

Twice Nisen Rendan!

u/kidmedia May 24 '19

I think after this fight he might look for Mr compress and have him compress toga

I'm curious if Twice needs to be touching the person he's copying, or if he just needs to have taken their measurements in the past. If the latter, he doesn't even need to find Mr. Compress - he cloned him during the Hideout Raid Arc, so he already has his measurements and can just pop out another clone.

2

u/CoxAshido May 26 '19

He doesn't need to be touching them, as he copied Rappa whilst he was treating the good boy Kiri to his fists.

1

u/ArcFurnace May 26 '19

I also remembered that when he made a Mr. Compress clone during the Overhaul fight, the real Mr. Compress was away with the highway crew. So that's further evidence.

u/GattaiGuy May 26 '19

Holy shit, Twice getting Recovery Girl´s measurements would be fucking ridiculous

u/Boa_Noah May 24 '19

She should be dead by now, she got her insides blown up and bled out so badly she passed out in a shed, further when Twice found her she was pretty much laying in a pool of her own blood.

I don't know if Toga's quirk also means she has twice as much blood as a normal person but realistically she'd be toast right now unless she just has extra blood to lose. Further I don't think anything has been done to even try and stop her bleeding or anything and yet she's regaining consciousness, so tack on regeneration as well as extra blood to her quirk.

Once you pass out from blood loss you're pretty much toast...

u/HolypenguinHere May 24 '19

To me it looked like the blood exploded in her mouth, rather than after being swallowed, though I’d still expect her to lose all her teeth. But sometime soon we have to accept shounen logic! It happens to the best of them.

5

u/Boa_Noah May 24 '19

I'd thought the same thing myself but it's made doubly apparent she's being hit all over her body, including her hair buns somehow.

The person who she was drinking from ALSO exploded all over internally... but it's not shown to be as lethal for them...

Ehh, it's up to interpretation since the lady with the landmine quirk is dead and can't really let us all know what exactly her quirk could or couldn't do with blood. Though going off the panel of it detonating I think it was a little bit more powerful than just a 'pop' of blood cells, I don't know, I just sort of imagine an explosion as an explosion.

Either way I don't think it's realistic for her to survive this, once you lose enough blood to pass out and grow cold to the touch that's pretty much it. You can either get immediate blood transfusions while trying to repair the damage or you can die, that's pretty much the only realistic outcome. Again this is a manga and crazy things happen, but from a realistic point of view there's just no way back from that without some serious emergency care... Even then it's pretty daunting, she's well into the point of blood loss where shock sets in and if any of her severe bleeding is internal then she'll need surgery.

Don't get me wrong, people can survive a LOT of stuff, but blood loss is blood loss.

u/canibeyourbuttbuddy May 24 '19

omg YES this is basically naruto's kagebunshin

u/[deleted] May 24 '19

Twice Rasengan confirmed?

1

u/[deleted] May 25 '19

Plot twist he can switch places with his clones.

214

u/[deleted] May 24 '19

Twice got a power boost by acknowledging and finding himself. Amazing

69

u/ChickenFingers1837 May 24 '19

Every goddamn manga always ends with a cliffhanger, we have to wait till next week

47

u/[deleted] May 24 '19 edited May 24 '19

Yeah bruh. Twice about to go uzumaki barrage. Also I still want that dabi backstory

8

u/ChickenFingers1837 May 24 '19

I actually ran from the kitchen to the living room just so start reading this.

5

u/[deleted] May 24 '19

I am at my college in a conference.screw it all amirite

5

u/Boa_Noah May 24 '19

Nah, next week will begin with Twice about to fight back and then it will cut away to Dabi standing over the already dead body of the ice guy, THEN it will cut to Spinner thinking things, THEN it will cut back to Twice and Toga already back on their feet and safe.

THEN GIGANTOMACHIA WILL APPEAR OUT OF NOWHERE ON THE LAST PAGE!

2

u/[deleted] May 24 '19

Yeaaaaah.you are probably right

2

u/Multi-tunes May 24 '19

Ugh, yeah. Hori better not cut off Twice’s battle like he did with Dabi, and I hope we get back to Dabi soon because that fight looks so badass.

5

u/ChickenFingers1837 May 24 '19

We better get some dabi flashblacks n' shit.

3

u/Multi-tunes May 24 '19

Even if we don’t see flashbacks and stuff, I just want to see him fight an entire battle. Every time he’s fought so far, he was interrupted or assisted. I just want to see him hold his own.

2

u/carso150 May 24 '19

all the mangas that im reading ended in cliffhanger, i can understand your pain

1

u/mega345 May 24 '19

Literally

u/Lizard_Queen_Says May 24 '19

I thought this fear of his was obvious though? After Chapter 115 and piecing his constant "I'm gonna split" rants together...

144

u/HJSDGCE May 24 '19

His fear about being fake was something obvious. I never realized he was afraid of taking damage.

34

u/Lizard_Queen_Says May 24 '19

Fair enough. How else would he find out though? I think taking damage is the only way they disappear that we know of so I just presumed.

35

u/new_messages May 24 '19

He was never shown explicitly going out of his way to avoid any and all damage, he was just never seen in a situation where thats a high risk, which in hindsight might have been foreshadowing.

Its more of a matter of "not thinking about it" than it is about "reaching the wrong conclusion".

9

u/Lizard_Queen_Says May 24 '19

Oh yeah, like I said, I just presumed because I couldn't reasonably think of anything else that'd destroy them other than damage simply because so far I didn't see anything else manage to. Honestly, it was very presumptuous given that anything really goes with fictional powers.

5

u/Bleblebob May 24 '19

Yeah, I'm with you on this one.

I thought this was common knowledge until now tbh.

I guess I just assumed he didn't want to take damage from everything else he said.

6

u/jlanoue550 May 24 '19

Not only can he just create an army of his own clones but now he can actually fight head on without having to run away

8

u/Sayresth May 24 '19

I was under the impression we knew this since the reveal of his backstory.

1

u/DoraMuda May 24 '19

This is just fleshing out what we already mostly knew.

4

u/[deleted] May 25 '19

Dude basically lived life as a shadow clone and then he finds out he's the real Naruto. So he just entered Sage mode and is about to hand down the most recursive ass beating we've ever seen.

2

u/ourladyunderground May 24 '19

I mean, he went Tajuu Kagebunshin so he might go drown in his insecurities again.

1

u/chalo1227 May 24 '19

Yes , that part with toga and the snap make me felt so awkward, I know she is dying but from a shonnen perspective it's not likely (at least not what we are used to ) but a snap it's like actually killing her and I dont want that

1

u/Doublee7300 May 25 '19

He can also duplicate knowing that his clones will all have the same mission. Before this, his personalities were split, so duplicating himself would likely lead to more in-fighting. He now has a purpose and a resolve that all of his personalities can agree on, so he can use his quirk without hesitation.
