I think I've had the entire manga wrong. All Might is AfO's brother right? So, AfO gave OfA to someone and then they just passed it along to people and All Might was like, the seventh inheritor?

Yeah, so like how the Todoroki Siblings all have some combination of their parent's Quirks All for One and the original One for All user were brothers with Quirks related to the transference of Quirks. Although now that I think about it Tenya and his older brother are a better example, as they have roughly the same quirk manifesting in different bodyparts. The Power Stockpiling Quirk was also considered useless, probably because it takes forever to achieve superhuman capabilities, with only All Might and maybe Nana actually being able to use it as a superhuman boost.

It does seem odd that the All For One, with the ability to combine quirks to achieve functional immortality, was so quick to discard a power stockpiling quirk - it seems like he'd be the only one to make proper use of it, without knowing about the quirk transferal quirk. Though I guess you can handwave that as the All For One who made that decision was more brash in his youth and wasn't really thinking in the long term scale of however many years its been since he gave his brother that quirk.

I took it to be super obvious that AfO gave his seemingly Quirkless brother that Quirk for the exact same reason he gave Quirks to actual Quirkless people: to create a debt that he would use to coerce them into joining him. That he miscalculated doesn't mean he just randomly threw away a Quirk in the spur of the moment or anything.

I thought he gave it to his weakling brother, who was nonetheless intent on stopping him, to mock him, because a "useless" person should have a "useless" quirk.

Not that he would. There is only one Lord of the Quirks and he does not share power.

If you're immortal then a power stockpiling quirk is even better because you're constantly growing stronger by existing. Quirk transfer amplifying the power stockpiling is just an unexpected effect.

All for One gave it to him because it was a quirk his brothers sickly body could handle.

All For One: <--------------------------------------------------------> One For All: <-----><-----><-----><-----><-----><-----><-----> If I'm wrong and it does get stronger automatically or it's like power in addition to your normal power then yeah maybe it'd be good for him but I think power stockpiling is on it's own just as useless as a quirk transferring quirk. It's only because they were forced into one vessel that they became something worthwhile.

Cipher Pol 9 posted:I guess it depends on how you interpret "power stockpiling." I don't think it just gets stronger over time automatically, I think it just means it retains whatever power you build up while you possess it. All For One is insanely powerful, it's only by adding together generations of built up strength that All Might was able to challenge him. So their power, uh, scale ends up looking like this. It has to be power in addition to your existing strength because if it was just like a save file of your strength it wouldn't be a detectable quirk in the first place.

I always figured it just kept a percentage of whatever you did, like the regenerative brakes on an electric car. Which was why it wrecks Midoriya so badly because the power growth ends up being basically exponential since a percentage of All Might's actions are that much stronger then Nana's which are that much stronger then 6 which are stronger then 5 etc.

If it didn't grow power over time, then why would everyone describe it as a stockpiling power? Wouldn't they call it a power that just makes you a little stronger? Or not be able to detect it as a power at all even.

I think both parts are correct on that: The quirk gets stronger based on the holder's strength (we've heard midoriya say before that it needs "cultivating", with images of working out) but it also grows gradually over time (hence being detectable at all) Also an amusing thought: If quirks have a behavioral element (like being attracted to blood for Toga) does that mean One For All's original holder had really inexplicable urges to make others consume his DNA?

I assume it's basically like an investment, where you keep putting a little bit of your vitality in to build up the Quirk Factor over many years, rather than literally stockpiling energy or bodily power. (Also, All Might didn't have even a fraction of the problems Deku is having — the risk of killing yourself with One For All is because Deku has no sense of self preservation, not because it's getting continuously stronger.)

All Might could intuitively control OfA from the start. (On the surface at last. Dude's a spiritual dumbass.) The whole business of using his power to protect himself form his own power just made sense to him. That, and it probably wasn't as hard to do that with one less person's worth of stockpiling behind it.

That, and it probably wasn't as hard to do that with one less person's worth of stockpiling behind it. All Might is also naturally 7 feet or taller and actually did a ton of bodybuilding. His muscle form is what he actually physically attained from exercise and training, the lanky form is after 5 years of wasting away to his injury and worsening health. His explanation of being a balloon is actually pretty accurate, he uses One for All to undo the wasting away for a short time, literally faking his old body. He was also a few years older and much taller when he received the quirk and had been working out for a long time to be a hero, whereas Izuku had less then a year to be even able to wield it in the dangerous form it is now.

that line “I’ve been training so much I never even had time for school” is weirdly superfluous unless we already know an ice-based quirk user related to Dabi who’s rarely been around because of their schooling

Part of what makes this arc so good is that because of the League's previous interactions with Overhaul, I'm legit not sure which members of the League are going to make it through this so I'm on the edge of my seat. Edit: Okay that's only mostly true, Shigaraki is def making it through this.

Twice has the power to make clones of himself but didn't he also make a dabi clone during the camping trip? I forget the specifics about that power.

Dude can make clones of anyone assuming he has their dimensions and such. Don’t think he can copy their powers but considering what we just saw from Toga who knows what he might unlock.

The only difference between a clone and the original (as far as we know) is that the clone is very fragile and can be destroyed pretty easily.

Twice can only make one clone, but that clone can also use the original's quirk, so Twice clones can continue cloning.

Twice can clone anyone once each (which means he can clone multiple people once at any given time, but not one person multiple times), and that clone has all the original's properties, including their quirks. Which means his own clones can each clone someone once, as well. Such as themself. ...and on, and on, and on, and on...which was basically his origin story, and why seeing multiples of himself is actually plausible to be real copies of himself, rather than obviously being someone else's quirk shenanigans.
