Bruiser
CharacterPatience turns into damage. Bruiser lets Chuma Yakumaru load power into a single arm or leg and swing it as one heavy strike, and the longer he spends winding up, the harder the eventual hit lands. Trigger changes the math entirely, spreading the effect across his whole frame.
Overview
Bruiser, written in Japanese as Dageki, is the Quirk belonging to Chuma Yakumaru. It falls under the Transformation classification and works at close range.
The power comes out of My Hero Academia: Vigilantes, appearing in Chapter 6 of that manga and in Episode 4 of its anime adaptation. Wiki categories list it under Vigilantes original Quirks and villain Quirks.
Mechanics
The Quirk concentrates power into one of the user's limbs, turning it into a delivery system for a single heavy blow. Charging matters: the longer the wind-up runs, the more force the resulting strike carries.
Trigger overhauls the scope of it. Under that drug's influence, the enhancement stops being limited to one limb and floods Chuma's entire body instead.
