That is wishful thinking without any prior facts.
They were looking at the Demonic (Shinny) Arm and thinking ..... "Meh, We can take it." cause they thought Mio was hax OP with Her Chakra.
Pretty sure that would just kill it, admittedly it's a hilarious idea and more sausage inna bun is always good but...
And we have WoG that Mio would basically be a genius and graduated early if she actually gave a fuck about schooling. But she likes spitting in the Clan Elder's eyes, so she isn't.
If it kills it, then maybe we can train to control the arms in all the ways it could.
But Parasyte and Lefty/Migi! Don't you want a hand buddy? One that we can have amusing arguments over masturbation with later?
Smart doesn't mean skilled, sentience does not mean intelligence.
Migi was just a sociopath.
Shock collars!
The current would need to go through our body to reach the ground.
True, but so is assuming it's intelligent enough to interrogate, and psychologically capable of submitting.
Probably still here, have changed their tune due to seeing how well this seems to be going.
Actually bothered to look up Tony Chu and gained context for your assertion. So making an addendum to my previous statement, we are in a mental landscape. We will not be physically consuming its body with our body, we will be consuming its mind with our mind. Absorbing the seat of its memories and consciousness into our own. Yes, absorbing its memories by eating its physical form would be stupid. Good thing we're not doing that.
I don't think she'll be able to entirely turn into it. She might be able to replace progressively more of our flesh with it later, but the fact it needs a host indicates it can't survive without outside assistance, so she should probably need to keep her vital organs. Optimally she should be able to learn to make it flow through her veins like Chrona's black blood, and/or layer it over top herself like armor.
So... I'm reading this as "Mio is a mental Tony Chu"?
More like "minds are made of thoughts and memories, much as bodies are made of biomass. If you eat something physically you absorb its physical biomass, what it's made of, into your own. If you eat something's mind, you absorb its thoughts and memories into your own." If it would just destroy it, what would be the point of the eating metaphor? Just set it on fire and be done with it.
Because we take the constituent parts and rework them into a form useful to us.
But I'm noticing you aren't arguing agains Mio being mental?
