Elasticity

Elasticity is a Quirk used by Gentle Criminal.

Description
Danjuro's Quirk allows him to bestow the property of elasticity to anything he touches.

Through Elasticity, Danjuro is capable of creating trampolines both on solid objects (including the ground) or in the air, allowing him not only to move around by bouncing but also to weaken the foothold of his enemies, limiting their mobility. He can also create aerial barriers that rebound anything that comes in contact with them.

It is impossible to deactivate the effects of the Quirk at will, meaning that the effects of Elasticity only wear off until a certain amount of time passes.

Usage
Danjuro often disguises the use of his Quirk through his usual flamboyant movements, which may catch opponents by surprise.

Danjuro can also apply the elasticity to the clothes he wears, preventing anyone from pulling on his cape to knock him off balance.

Named Super Moves

 * Gently Rebound (ジェントリーリバウンド): Danjuro creates an aerial elastic barrier and after an enemy runs into it, the enemy is blasted away.
 * Gently Trampoline (ジェントリートランポリン): Danjuro turns the ground into elastic and after an enemy stands on it the enemy bounces into the air. Tobita can also use this move to bounce himself through the air as a means of air travel.
 * Gently Sandwich (ジェントリーサンドイッチ): Danjuro creates a series of aerial elastic barriers and pins an opponent under them.

Trivia

 * Elasticity could be considered the inverse of Pliabody, as it consists of turning one's surroundings elastic, whereas the latter Quirk does it only to the user's own body.
 * The typical Japanse reading of the characters, だんせい, can refer to "elasticity" as well as "gentleman".
