Whale remakes its owner into a sperm whale, either piece by piece or all at once. Curator uses it to hit opponents with his full transformed bulk, blast them with water, and stun them using the paralyzing clicks real whales use to navigate.

Overview

Curator carries this close-range Transformation Quirk, which originates outside the main story as a game-original, non-canon creation rather than something from the manga or anime.

Mechanics

The change is selective. Curator can convert isolated parts of himself into sperm whale anatomy or commit to the complete form. Going all the way unlocks an additional trick, letting him expel jets of water from his mouth.

Two named techniques come out of it. Click Sound emits a hypersonic pulse that leaves the target paralyzed. Whale Strike is the physical option: he rams an opponent while fully transformed, then follows the impact with a burst of water.
