Larceny
CharacterLarceny simply takes. Any object a target happens to be carrying vanishes and lands in Toya Setsuno's hands, and even things conjured by other Quirks can be lifted the same way. Weapon users make poor opponents for him, though a blinded Toya is a defenseless one.
Overview
Written as Settō, Larceny is a target-based Emitter Quirk belonging to Toya Setsuno. Chapter 140 marks its debut, with Episode 71 covering it in the anime.
Mechanics
Anything in a target's possession can be pulled away and delivered instantly into the user's grip. The reach extends past ordinary equipment to constructs other Quirks have produced, which leaves anyone relying on a weapon at a standing disadvantage, armed police included.
Two constraints apply. Size matters, and objects past a certain bulk simply cannot be taken away. Sight matters more, since whatever falls outside his field of vision is untouchable. Blind him and he is left with nothing to defend himself.
Notable Users
Toya Setsuno is the only known holder. He treats the Quirk mainly as a disarming tool, stripping enemies of their gear and leaving them easy work for his usual partners, Yu Hojo and Soramitsu Tabe.
