Amplifier Jack

Item

Power Loader's contribution to Kyoka Jiro's costume upgrade is a pair of small speakers strapped to her forearms. Jack her Earphone Jacks into them and the quiet thud of her own heartbeat turns into a weapon loud enough to tear open the ground she is standing on.

Overview

Higari Maijima, the hero Power Loader, built the Amplifier Jack as support gear when Kyoka Jiro's costume was revised. The set amounts to two compact speakers, one riding each of her forearms.

On their own they do nothing. Their whole purpose is to give her Quirk a louder voice.

Function

Kyoka plugs her Earphone Jacks straight into the devices. Her heartbeat, already the raw material her Quirk works with, gets pushed far past its natural volume, and whatever her wrists make contact with takes the resulting sonic wave. The output is violent enough to break up solid ground.

She is not limited to touching things, either. Using her Earphone Jacks she can pull the speakers off her arms entirely and point them wherever she likes, sending that amplified heartbeat at a target from a distance.

Notable Users

Kyoka Jiro is the only person the gear is built for, and the only one who can operate it, since it depends on her Earphone Jack Quirk to work at all.

The equipment first appears in Chapter 99 of the manga and Episode 52 of the anime.
