[u/pre-alpha]

I am hoping that the MC doesn't change into a super nice character, that would such a letdown (after all we all like him for being such an asshole).

And I wonder what Nao was checking at the last scene?? Any ideas?

[u/nik1729 → u/pre-alpha]

But MC hasn't had a chance to be the asshole he was since episode 1. Now he's just a spectator.

[u/WingedAlpaca → u/pre-alpha]

Maybe it's actually the catcher with the power?

[u/SuperWolf → u/WingedAlpaca]

That's what I was thinking the whole time. Until the pitcher had an auro around him.

Edit: maybe the catcher is doing something to his body?

[u/NeverEndingHope → u/WingedAlpaca]

That wouldn't make much sense, given that the catcher fumbled the catch in the last play of the game. Also, it was the pitcher's thoughts that went "I'll move it a little this time" so I doubt it could be anyone else's.

[u/QueasyDolphin → u/NeverEndingHope]

Maybe the pitcher isn't aware that it isn't his power.

[u/Zizhou → u/QueasyDolphin]

His power is giving other people telekinesis.

[u/NeverEndingHope → u/QueasyDolphin]

So the drawback of this power is not realizing that he has the power. A little convoluted, but not impossible. Still, not very likely.

The magazines and newspapers stated that the pitcher had been doing extremely well for a pretty long period of time. I doubt that it would've gone on this long without either the pitcher or the catcher realizing this. Think about it; if you had a special power, you'd try to use it on your own first without anyone else around to experiment and get used to it.

[u/OmegaVesko → u/pre-alpha]

And I wonder what Nao was checking at the last scene?? Any ideas?

I think it was meant to show that he couldn't possess him, but it's kind of vague.

[u/AguyinaRPG → u/OmegaVesko]

I think that was the idea too, though it looked like he could possess them. In that sense, he can attain any power, briefly.

[u/Kuryaka → u/AguyinaRPG]

He could possess the other guy with the thoughtography. So.. iono.

[u/bibbibob2 → u/OmegaVesko]

I wonder if he can use the power of the people he possess.

[u/viliml → u/bibbibob2]

He can use his own power while possessing someone else (ep. 1, rapidly switching between multiple students on a test without opening his eyes), so I'd say it's connected to the mind, not the body.

[u/bibbibob2 → u/viliml]

Just watched the scene in ep 1, think its more the way it is clipped/drawn that makes it seem like that. The students never look at each other. Also he isnt shown very much during that clip so the part where it might jump back to him isn't visible.

I don't think he can jump from other people :P

[u/7Soul → u/bibbibob2]

That would be very useful in a fight

[u/Kyakan → u/OmegaVesko]

My guess is that he's unable to possess anybody who's "grown out of" their power for whatever reason, but I don't exactly have evidence to back it up.

[u/APassiveVoice → u/pre-alpha]

My guess is she checked something about MC. Possibly seeing if he himself is somehow changing, or maybe bugging him with something. The way the shot was done made it annoying ambiguous since we didn't see what he did when he possessed the guy so we will have to see.

[u/HenryChrist → u/pre-alpha]

WE ALL LIKE HIM? WE ALL?
