How the hell did OFA heal Deku's hand?

Are we sure it's healed? It just looks ... psychedelic.

Also, Aoyama is his own night light.

yeah all might is called specifically out in the previous chapter

honestly it's really weird writing to go 'one is missing...' when in the previous chapter we already saw that the brothers were facing off. it does nothing but confuse

There's always the possibility of someone being wrong about this very weird poo poo going on

you know I was thinking how this comic would keep giving it's protaganist upgrades since the only path forward with OFA seemed to be "more power"

most of the scars on his hand were on the side of his arm you can't see and he has the full cowl effect going, so it's hard to say

It's weird that there's no apparent significance to the order the successors are standing in. I also wonder why those two are in shadow - just unfinalized designs? None of the other holders should be currently alive except Toshinori, right?

Also: wanna know more about Hellboy

If Deku really is getting the Quirks of his predecessors, I can’t wait for him to break out the chainsaw arm.

I just thought that the 1st activated OfA and the wind pressure destroyed his room, not Deku gaining some more powers. Besides, if there were more powers to gain All Might would either have used them or told Deku about them

All Might never went to dreamland and met the original bearer, so "All Might would have known" doesn't really hold up.

one thing i noted is that the "bone spurs" quirk that AfO transferred is one of the quirks he used in his final superarm attack against all might

"And I did it, because I was a man who had exhausted reason and thus turned to magicks"
See if Deku had a quirk theory is true, its possible it’s embers are coming back due to OfA.

I was thinking what would make sense for a combination of Fire Breathing and Telekinesis. I wonder was his quirk Phoenix, where he can immolate himself and telekinetically rebuild his body, would make sense then that OfA is so destructive of his body, it knows he “should” rebuild if badly hurt.

Isn't One For All's nature a quirk that "stocks" other quirks? That combined with brotherman's quirk to "pass quirks on"

If anything All Might's powers being as "simple" as Hulk-level physical abilities seems to me like it might just be how he interpreted it's use, rather than the nature of OFA itself.

It's said at one point that All Might's master had a quirk. It was just useless compared to OfA.

Also they were going to give Mirio OfA, and he has a quirk.

That was Nighteye's idea. The moment that All Might saw Deku try to rescue Bakugo he had already decided who would inherit One For All.

Well, had

Of all the previous OfA users, we only really know about 3 of them, All Might(who was quirkless), Nana(who we never got to see in action, so we don't know if she had a quirk) and the original user(who just had the ability to pass on his quirk). So we really don't have an idea about what the rest of them were like or if they had quirks themselves.

Yes and All Might also thought to himself when he met Mirio, had he not met Izuku first he probably would have given it to Mirio.

Since Gran Torino had to train All Might, I wonder if there was stuff about One For All that Yagi didn't know about, but Nana did, that she didn't have time to teach him before she died. And since All Might took to using it so readily he probably didn't feel the need to explore the limits of OFA. He apparently didn't have these dreams or else he would have warned Deku about it.

iirc, the first time something like this happened to deku and he tells all might about it, he says he never saw the other o4a users like deku did

With the Sports Fest fight between Shinso and Deku, afterwards Deku mentions the shadows that broke him free and All Might is like "Uh that sounds scary and new".

Although I'm not really on board for the whole idea about Deku getting previous quirks (he's already got the best superpower in the setting, and the whole manga's been showing ways to make "plain" super strength, speed, and durability dynamic and cool), even that's better than Deku having a quirk he just didn't know about.

Deku's deal is he was a no-hoper who got a chance. Giving him a quirk takes away from that.

The whole line is "We've long since passed the point of singularity. But don't worry, you're not alone." Deku still is his own person (:tinfoil:), and "you're not alone" isn't much comfort if you're scared about your ego merging with strangers or something, so that's probably out. It doesn't really seem like the world is past the point of Quirk singularity either, though the narrative has pointed out that Quirks are getting progressively weirder and more powerful. So maybe he's talking about One For All itself? Like, "This Quirk is already way too loving strong. But don't worry, you're not alone." That's not a very satisfying interpretation either, though. So yeah, dunno.
