Meatball

Meatball is a Transformation Quirk with long-range application, used by Seiji Shishikura. Chapter 106 marks its manga debut, and Episode 55 introduces it in the anime.

The power grants authority over raw human flesh. Applied to the owner's own body, it lets limbs come apart and keep moving under his direction. Detached material can be swelled, fused, and shaped for either striking or blocking, and it floats freely, which turns it into ammunition for snaring targets.

A victim wrapped in one of these masses gets rolled and pressed into a ball, immobile and unrecognizable, though every sense stays online throughout the ordeal. Holding a person that way demands concentration, and enough physical punishment to the owner breaks the grip.

Seiji Shishikura, a Shiketsu High student, handles the Quirk with precision and builds his approach around reducing opponents to meatballs. He prefers distance, tearing flesh from his arms into bullets and burying enemies under the barrage until they submit.

His touch is delicate enough that a single point of contact settles a fight, and his command over his own tissue far exceeds what he manages with other people's, letting him levitate several fragments at once and convert multiple enemies in the same stretch. On defense he rolls flesh together into shields sturdy enough to hold against Katsuki Bakugo's AP Shots, and he screens his real attacks by hiding spare balls behind his targets for an ambush.

Carnivore Carnival, his named Ultimate Move, piles up deliberately revolting lumps that appear to be made of internal organs. Arranged around him, the display is meant to sicken and unsettle whichever villain catches sight of it. He devised the technique for a school assignment that called for something new.
