Extend-o-Hair
CharacterNagamasa Mora's hair does not simply grow, it obeys. Extend-o-Hair lets the Shiketsu student drive every strand as far as he wants, wrapping himself in armor or hauling in a crowd of opponents at once, all with material that refuses to break.
Overview
Extend-o-Hair, romanized as Shinmō, is the Mutant Quirk belonging to Nagamasa Mora of Shiketsu High. It first appears in Chapter 109 and Episode 57, and it reaches targets at long range.
Mechanics
Every strand on the user's head answers to them, both in how far it grows and in how it moves. The hair itself is unusually tough, shrugging off harm to the point that damaging it does not appear to be possible at all.
Tangling is the recurring nuisance, and it irritates Nagamasa when it happens. Whether his consistently hairy look means the Quirk is switched on or is simply how he looks naturally has never been established.
Notable Users
Nagamasa Mora is the only known user, and his command of the power is formidable. He can wind the strands into armor across his body, and in Chapter 113 he shows the scale of it by sweeping up a large group of enemies at once, catching them inside his extended hair.
