Goto Imasuji/Trivia

Trivia page for Muscular.

Name

 * Goto's first name contains "strong" (強 gō), and the kanji for the Big Dipper (斗 to). His surname contains the kanji for "now" (今 ima) and "muscle fiber" (筋 suji).
 * The "masu" in his surname is homophonous with part of the Japanese pronunciation of the English word "muscle" (マッスル massuru).

Biology

 * He is right hand dominant.
 * His dominant eye is his left eye (lost during his fight with Water Hose).

Quirk

 * Before being recognised as a villain, Goto would spend a lot of time working out to build his muscle in order to have better control over Muscle Augmentation. The sheer size of him as of his most recent appearance is a result of years of training, working out and practising how to use his quirk. Before becoming a fully fledged villain he would frequently visit the gym to train. However, he wouldn’t be weak without the quirk.
 * There have been times when he’s strained his muscles trying to push limits of his quirk before his body was built up enough. If a person was to look closely at Goto's skin, he has little marks where he's pushed the boundaries. These marks are more visible on his arms, chest and the backs of his hands because he augments the muscles there the most.
 * It was only when he realised how powerful he actually was that he began to understand what he was capable of. The belief that no one could stop his brute strength was what amplified his arrogance and cruel, villainous behaviour. He will brag about his size and strength with or without his quirk and will be incredibly boastful. He worked hard for his muscle and is proud of it.
 * Goto is able to cover his whole body in an armour of augmented muscle fibers, protecting him from blunt force and powerful vibrations. Goto can can cover his body in more than 12,000 layers of muscle. It is later shown that many of his muscle fibers can be depleted of energy if Goto takes too much damage, significantly weakening his body.

Fears, disorders and conditions

 * He suffers with Sadistic Personality Disorder (tyrannical sadism subtype).
 * This was evident ever since he was young. He was quick to be violent with his brother among other things.
 * He has brain injuries caused by his near-drowning as a child and his battle with Water Hose.
 * This anoxic brain injury causes him to suffer with headaches, balance coordination, vision issues and various personality changes, including but not limited to mood swings, acting inappropriately and experiencing random feelings of euphoria. He struggles with reason, focus and logic, and sometimes forming sentences and understanding language.
 * During his fight with Water Hose he receives a traumatic brain injury from a harsh blow to the head. This also causes irreversible damage to his left eye and permanently scars his face.
 * He has a moderate fear of water.
 * This is not to the point of actively avoiding water, but being splashed, dunked etc makes him extremely uneasy. This stems from his near-drowning as a child. He is not afraid of swimming or bathing but gets uneasy when it comes to being splashed unexpectedly, held under water and the like. He will panic and become aggressive towards whoever did it.
 * During his fight with Water Hose, the pair were able to inflict damage on him. He panicked because their quirks were water related and the injuries he sustained were a result of that. Of course, this has not helped with his uncertainty towards water.
 * He briefly panics and is caught off guard when splashed with water by Kota during his fight with Izuku, and later thrown into water in his second fight with Izuku. He is quick to recover however, as his love for bloodshed outweighs this fear.

Relationships

 * Goto considers Megumi Chabashira and Kendo Rappa his best friends.
