Cemedine
CharacterKojiro Bondo's power turns his head into an adhesive dispenser. The liquid he sprays can seize a target where it stands or coat a stretch of ground in something no one wants to step on, and he decides how quickly it sets.
Overview
Written セメダイン and read Semedain, Cemedine belongs to Class 1-B's Kojiro Bondo. It is catalogued as a Mutant Quirk with medium range, arriving in Chapter 29 of the manga and Episode 17 of the anime.
The name is borrowed from reality. CEMEDINE CO., LTD is an actual Japanese manufacturer that makes and sells adhesive products.
Mechanics
Openings in Kojiro's head expel a glue-like fluid. What happens next depends on what it lands on. The substance may set solid and pin whatever it touched in place, or it may stay tacky, making the surface hazardous to handle. Drying speed is not fixed, and Kojiro adjusts it to suit the situation.
The obvious counter is chemical. Acid breaks the adhesive down, dissolving it. Among his named ultimate moves is Glue Squall, written グルースコール and read Gurūsukōru, in which he blankets a wide area in adhesive so that the whole region turns sticky and anyone who makes contact loses the ability to move. He debuts it during the Joint Training Arc.
