Mechanics

What the Quirk produces is sweat, though not the ordinary kind. The secretion reacts the moment it strikes something, throwing off a burst of harsh light paired with a loud crack. Whether the ability explains why Dadan perspires constantly has never been settled.

By itself the effect is purely disruptive. Romero Fujimi remarked that it would be a better weapon if the bursts could actually injure someone.

Notable Users

Dadan Tadan is the sole user. His hero costume loads the substance into missiles, letting him blanket a broad stretch of ground in a single volley whose noise carries well past the point of impact. The reliance on sweat as fuel invites comparison with Katsuki Bakugo's Explosion, which runs on the same principle to very different ends.
