Playtime
CharacterMario Kugutsu grows to enormous size, sprouts a second pair of arms, and starts treating the fight like a child bashing action figures together. Playtime has only ever been seen while he is under Trigger, so what it does on its own remains guesswork.
Overview
Playtime is a close range Transformation type Quirk belonging to Mario Kugutsu, from Vigilantes. Because every appearance has come under the influence of Trigger, its unaltered function is not established.
Mechanics
What has been observed is Mario swelling to giant proportions much like Gigantification, his skin blackening, most likely a Trigger effect, and an extra pair of arms growing in. It also appears to dull the user's intelligence, leaving them to behave the way a kid does while bashing toy figures together.

Notable Users
Mario Kugutsu is the sole holder. The Japanese name, bundodo, points at a childhood ritual: gripping a toy model in each hand and voicing their duel out loud, sound effects included. His Trigger fueled appearance recalls an Asura, the multi armed demonic figure of Hindu mythology. The Quirk shares ground with Body Morph, Extra Arms, and Quad Arms.
