Inasa Yoarashi is a hyperactive and energetic character with a strong sense of justice who dreams of becoming a professional hero. His strange Whirlwind complements his fiery passion for battle and ruthless fighting style. Through years of dedication and hard work, she has gained considerable control over her powers and can take on the strongest of foes with unwavering confidence.
Inasa's confidence is primarily rooted in his efficiency, which is suitable for both defensive and offensive purposes. Whirlwind offers Yuarashi a lot of ranged attacks, allowing him to control the battlefield without taking damage. His versatile fighting style puts him ahead of his opponents, and much of the credit for his brilliance goes to his character. Whirlwind is arguably one of the most dynamic abilities in the series, and if you're intrigued by it and want to know how it works, we've got you covered.
What is Whirlwind?
A formidable oddity that can restrain the force of the wind
Whirlwind is an Emitter feature that allows the user to influence the air around them. It is very efficient for long range attacks and can create mini tornadoes and fearsome winds in the blink of an eye. Because Inasa has precise control over the whimper, she can overcome her enemy by channeling various wind currents. His attacks are incredibly difficult to predict as Yuarashi manipulates gusts of wind without any noticeable physical movement. Because every offensive move is so well directed, it's often too late for the opponent to realize what hit them.
In the first stage of the temporary championship license test, students are tasked with eliminating their peers by targeting three marks on their bodies using orange balls. While the other students are trying to pass the exam, Inasa gracefully uses her Whirlwind feature to eliminate 120 students at once. By manipulating the movement and direction of the orange balls with controlled airflow, Yoarashi manages to pull off this incredible feat and make it look effortless for the audience. His incredible performance shocks everyone and shows his remarkable precision and mastery over his powers.
Interestingly, Inasa also uses Whirlwind to propel herself through the air. This is made possible by generating miniature tornadoes with the help of his special hero suit, which wraps his body in tubes to facilitate airflow and create powerful lift. However, he can also use blasts of wind to propel himself through the air without needing to use his suit. Flying gives Yuarashi a bird's eye view of the battlefield, which in turn helps him strategize effectively against his opponent and fight at long range.
The winds produced by Whirlwind are strong enough to destroy Yoarashi's opponents. These winds are also effective in evading attacks by deflecting projectiles. The versatility of Whirlwinds lies in its incredibly creative application. An interesting example of this is when Inasa combines her powerful winds with Shoto's Half-Cold Half-Hot Quirk to invent a new move during the final stage of the Temporary Champion License Exam. Although Whirlind is a powerful trait that allows Yoarashi to fight both defensively and offensively, it has subtle weaknesses that leave the user vulnerable.
Weaknesses of Whirlwind
Quirk Yoarashi is versatile but has some serious flaws
As mentioned above, Whirlwind is an efficient buff, especially in ranged combat, as it allows Inasa to control the battlefield while significantly reducing the chance of being hit directly by a move. However, its long-range combat effectiveness becomes a drawback, as it is not as strong in close range combat. Things get even worse if Yoarashi's opponent has traits that either negate wind-based attacks or work effectively at short ranges.
Yoarashi can even activate Whirwind just by using his thoughts while incapacitated. However, in such a situation, his effectiveness, speed, and overall power are significantly reduced, leaving him vulnerable. Additionally, opponents seem to disrupt Inasa's movement control with fire-based moves or attacks as well.
While these shortcomings are certainly troubling, Yoarashi is still a formidable opponent on the battlefield who understands his powers inside out and has the combat knowledge to always put himself at an advantage. He performs beautifully considering his weakness and is undoubtedly an attractive hero when he is on the battlefield.
