At the very least, he looks like he just connected the dots with Deku and All Might.

Not exactly I think.
He's probably going to think Midoriya is being groomed by All might as the next biggest hero.

Because Quirk transfer? pff who would believe that?

It is even crazier than Quirk transfer. All For One is some magic power totally unrelated to Quirks. No one should be able to guess what is really going on. It is like if Captain Marvel joined the X-men.

I wonder if the teacher's Quirk stopping power even works on it.

It does, we saw that in chapter 6-7, whenever the first day of school test was, when he forced him to not pitch at full power, because crippling yourself makes you a worthless hero.


It's still possibly some quirk - note that Midoriya's mom is a 'fourth generation' according to the first chapter. That makes Midoriya part of the fifth generation of power holders. Assuming that there was some rarity early on, there could easily be sixth, seventh, even eighth generation power holders his age.

All For One is a quirk that takes the power of its holder, and then can be passed downwards, giving the next holder the ability to access the might of all the previous holders. It grows stronger the more generations it is passed down. We don't know what generation of holder All Might himself is, but it's not fair to say it's a 'magic power unrelated to Quirks'.


Even if eight generations isn't enough to justify how amazingly strong they are, you can easily handwave it to say it's stronger than just eight people's strength because reasons, or go with like, Apocalypse from X-Men. A quirk that manifested before quirks became a thing people knew about, just like how Apocalypse was a mutant 4000 years before mutants became a common thing.

He did not. The second holder did, and was also a cannibal. It is not a pleasant story.

I wonder if at some point the collective might from all the previous users of All For One is just not going to be transferable, because at some point no human being would be able to take the strain of the quirk.

Can you double up on powers so long as "All For One" isn't a quirk in the traditional sense? For example, wouldn't it be best to give "All For One" to someone with a quirk of rapid regeneration, or super endurance or something of that sort?

It's unknown whether All For One can stack with an existing quirk. All Might doesn't seem to have any other powers, so either receiving All For One cancels out existing quirks or he himself was quirkless.

Didn't All Might already say that he was born quirk-less? I'm pretty sure he told Deku as much in the second chapter or so. It's likely All For One can only be used by quirkless people.

All Might was originally going to look for All For One candidates in the school so I kinda doubt it can only be used by quirkless people. And no, he never said he was quirkless.

His original quirk is being able to transform into the body of a Superhero, but the transformation only gave him the form not the power.

I like Ashido, the bug-ish looking girl with the black eyes. She hasn't had much screen time (well she has, sorta) or done much, but she looks cool. Tsuyu is probably my favorite characterization wise, of the kids at least. All Might is the best overall though.

Yeah, she's pretty cool looking and I want to see what she can do, what little characterization she as had so far makes her look like a really fun character. And yeah, Tsuyu's deadpan way of doing stuff like thwacking grape boy upside the head without even looking is just great.
