Mad Gluttony
CharacterA Mutant Quirk carried by Ginji Kurau, Mad Gluttony arms its owner with an enormous maw set into the torso, capable of swallowing and pulverizing nearly anything placed in front of it. Overmodification pushes the power further, letting mouths erupt anywhere across the body and strike from a distance.
Overview
Mad Gluttony falls under the Mutant classification and functions only at short reach. Ginji Kurau is the sole known owner, and the ability makes its first appearance in the film My Hero Academia: You're Next.
Mechanics
A second maw, oversized and set within the abdomen, does the work here. Whatever the owner charges toward gets pulled in, chewed apart, and wrecked in a matter of moments.
Once Overmodification amplifies the Quirk, the anatomy changes. Mouths push out of any part of Ginji's frame and extend like tendrils, snapping at targets he could not physically reach otherwise. That upgraded configuration is not invulnerable. Sufficient force shears the tendrils apart, which Dark Might demonstrates by overpowering them with a single glowing fist packed with kinetic energy drawn from his Alchemy Quirk.
