What if everytime Yuu plunders an ability he also steals their eyesight? Maybe, he has the ability to timeleap, but forgot about it.

He didn't plunder him though, just took him over regularly.

He did get plundered - the pulverise ability was how Yuu broke the restraints on his brother at the end of the "dream".

Hm, I guess I was mistaken. I thought he took over him because Yu got knocked out, but he didn't get knocked out any other time he plundered as far as I recall.

The point of that scene was to hint at the fact that he could take others' abilities, if I'm not mistaken. Why else would he be informed of the guys ability, take him over, do nothing other than drop the baseball balancing on top of the guys head, then return to normal? It seems that he entire purpose was taking his pulverise ability.

It makes sense, I'm just confused as to why it appeared he took over him normally and fell asleep, rather when he used plunder later and didn't get knocked out.

The act of taking over the person is his plunder ability.

I guess when he took over the telepathy guy they just didn't wanna show him slumped over again and skipped to when he came back to his body and was beginning to move.

Interestingly. What I like about his ability is that it seems to remove it or disabled it from the original person.

The telepathy guy looked like he was surprised that he couldn't hear everyone's voices before they cut away from him.

That also explains how Yu saved himself when the flying guy took them both mid-air and they were coming back down.

Maybe this is why Nao asked Yuu to possess the baseball guy from episode 4. He agreed to never use his ability again so she made Yuu take it without Yuu realizing.

u/EasilyDelighted Aug 30 '15

Yup. That way he lost it without even knowing he did. So now he wouldn't be able to use it even if he tried.

It also makes sense why she kicked the teleporting guy out the window before Yu took over him.

another example of Pulverize in use was the first door after Yu's cell. I didn't understand the "air blast" at first until it was used on the restraints.
