Delay Spot

Character

Delay Spot is Bruno Gollini's contribution to My Hero Academia: You're Next, a dome thrown over an area inside which time crawls. Bullets drift, people flounder, and Bruno strolls through the whole thing at ordinary speed, which is exactly why he is so smug about it.

Mechanics

Casting it raises a bubble shaped roughly like a half sphere over a patch of ground. Everything caught inside grinds down into slow motion, which is enough to leave a person helpless and to reduce a fired round to a lazy drift. Bruno himself is exempt and keeps his usual pace within the field, and he can extend that exemption to anyone or anything he happens to be touching.

Overmodification changes the scale. With his Quirk Factor amplified, Bruno stretches the field far enough to swallow an entire mansion yard.

Notable Users

Bruno Gollini is the only holder. He first deploys it to reclaim Anna Scervino after Ginji Kurau takes her, and the pattern holds from there: anyone inside the bubble is neutered, which makes both fighting and abduction trivial for him. He turns it to harm as well, letting a bullet meant for Anna find Ginji instead and shoving Giulio Gandini aside from his motorcycle.

The Quirk has a ceiling, though. Slowing an object is not the same as stopping it, and something fast enough still lands. Bruno learns this after taunting Deku to close the distance rather than flee, at which point Deku enters the field on Faux 100 Percent, moving quicker than a bullet, and puts him down with one clean hit.
