Re: Mx0 90 Discussion Thread / 91 Predictions Thread
Black M0 is really the best solution for Kuzumi. As cool as it would be to see him finally get to have a real Plate, giving him one would essentially be character murder. Kuzumi as a character works because he can't use magic, but is believed to be the best at it. Give him magic and he just becomes the same as everyone else.
M0 worked as his power because it could only be used sparingly, and wasn't a solution to every situation. The upgrade made it a little easier to use, but still not something that would always work or help, and it still always came at a cost. The Black Plate works for basically the same reason - it gives him some more flexibility, but in the end still needs him to use M0, meaning that he's still going to need to expend points to use it, so he still can't spam it the way the other kids can use magic over and over again.
So this is a way for Kuzumi to use magic without killing what makes his character work. He's still going to be scared and desperate and have to struggle to deal with magic, but he'll be able to fight back a little bit more. He's still going to have to think his way around problems, he'll just have a new trick up his sleeve.
Give Kuzumi a real Plate, though, and as the principal says he'll be able to learn more advanced magic than the other kids, and we know he'd be able to apply it better. And then his illusion just becomes reality, and where's the fun in that?
