Overview

Known in Japanese as Hitogata, this long-range Emitter Meta Ability belongs to Tomoyasu Chikazoku, better known as Skeptic. It arrives in Chapter 228 and appears in Episode 109 of the anime.

The raw material has to be roughly human in scale. A refrigerator or a desk will do. What comes out the other side is a precise likeness of whatever person the user has in mind.

Mechanics

Creation runs through a liquid that wells up out of Skeptic's hand. He demonstrates this on a motorcycle, touching it and leaving behind another of his puppets. Several can exist and answer to him at the same time, all steered remotely.

Every puppet emerges dressed in a suit, which suggests their clothing falls under his control alongside their faces. Their default look resembles a gorilla, but he reshapes them at will.

Notable Users

Skeptic is the only known holder. He wears earpieces supplied by Detnerat to direct his creations from well outside the fighting, labeling each one with a letter of the alphabet and issuing orders from a distance. Sheer numbers are the point: a target gets swamped rather than outfought.

He is willing to aim the Quirk at the mind as much as the body. Against Jin Bubaigawara, he remade his puppets into copies of Twice specifically to reopen that trauma.
