[Rejuvenation]

Wow, this thread sure erupted. I'm glad I didn't have to be on the front lines for this one.

Spoiler for 81:

Not particularly interested in the spoiler to be honest. Well, I should say Naze giving Zenkichi that ability is my main focus. So did she now make him a Minus or a Plus? Is it temporary? I'd imagine its another precaution so Zenkichi doesn't become a chump again the next time he faces up against Kumagawa. This is another one of those "I don't have to look at you" ploys. Hopefully it works better than her last plan. Also, I wonder if they can stop talking about Zenkichi being "normal" after this? No matter how you slice it, he most certainly isn't anymore with such an ability.

And I thought minuses were minuses because the powers they have contribute nothing to society? I can understand Deadscar, because that really doesn't do much. But Emukae's ability to create instant fertilizer would make farmers around the world happy... Though, I don't know how that relates to her ability to control plants.

I'm not going to speculate on the Hitomi bit but as far as the Minuses go, I think I'd call them that because of their destructive capacity/potential rather than just because they contribute nothing to society alone. Sure, Emukae is using her Minus to grow plants right now but if you think about it thats not a good thing either. Look at the rate of the growth. These things are expanding in a matter of seconds it looks like. Hyper-growth of plants would throw off the eco-system all over the globe and destroy human civilization.

Since Emukae can't really turn off her Minus like Shibuki can, she probably can't just leave it at growing flowers and trees. Nothing Kumagawa suggests would be a "Plus" as we know.
