I want to know who has the quirk "One for All". You know its gotta be out there somewhere. Either it was Deku's secret quirk all along or some villain has it.

That's the trouble with sentences that can be read either way they can deceive One for All is more heroic-sounding, but All for One better reflects what his quirk actually is.

There's also the issue of being able to control it so you can save people from destroyed buildings rather than cause them to collapse even further and kill everyone. Punch the people out of the building using compressed air Punch so hard you create a vacuum effect to put out fires Punching is always the answer, the closer deku gets to Saitama the better

All Might wasn't the first person to have One for All was he? I mean, I'm assuming that, given how the Quirk works, it isn't his quirk, and that All Might got it from someone else. It'd probably take a generation or two to accumulate All Might's insane godlike power and Quirks seem to have been around for a couple of generations, assuming it's from the dawn of quriks existing, All Might's gotta be at least second or third generation. And the way he talks about it before telling Deku about it at the least heavily implies he wasn't the first. I wonder if another of One for All's past hosts will show up, is what I'm getting at.

Some baseless speculation: maybe One for All was originally a quirk that could steal the quirks of others and had the weakness that it could be stolen too.

I talked about it earlier, but we know that Midoriya's mom is a 4th generation quirk holder, and that Quirks were initially rare when they first showed up (though by the 4th generation not having one is rarer). So yes, One For All has probably existed for 3-4 generations at least. Possibly 5-6 even.

I want to know how the second bearer of All Might's quirk got it from the first bearer. Was he a barber who accidentally got the first guy's hair in his mouth or something? It had to take a passing of the quirk or two before it's abilities even became noticeable.

Like, assuming the previous host doesn't have to die to pass on the power. I imagine someone old, weak and now living a rather unimpressive life of obscurity might want that back if they weren't as good and heroic as All Might is.

In all likelyhood Old Man All Might probably had some of his vital juices... sucked out. That's right. The first power transfer was a vile depraved act that could never be shown or mentioned in a kids manga. Vampirism.

You have to wonder if the power can be transferred against the bearer's will, if so the first villain to bite Deku is in for a sudden power-up.

What if the power transfer only works if the one being transferred to doesn't have a quirk? I wonder how many other toebones there are out there.

It could be that ingesting his DNA just creates a connection, and the recipient absorbs the power by spending time in proximity to All Might. By attending school, Deku is slowly draining away All Might's remaining power.

Horrible Smutbeast posted:It's because he didn't actually "use" it. He swung in the air to cause an air current powerful enough to blow his hand out of the way. Had he actually made contact he would have gibbed IcyHot's arm while probably breaking a finger or two. The real test is seeing if he can actually control his hits against someone weaker than him without gibbing either person. I think that if he didn't limit it he would break his arm super bad even when just hitting air. It's how I read this page at least. That being said, I also think that with the ammount of power he used if he had hit something solid he would also have broken his hand. So it's part him getting better control slowly and part not hitting anything solid. Bakugou is still the best.

Re: All For One speculation, I'm half suspecting that we may find like, quirks have existed longer than most people think (ie, in the first people to mutate out the extra joint), and thus All For One has accumulated the power of several thousand different people from antiquity, explaining why its so absurd. The luminescent baby was just the first documented case.

Can I just say that I really appreciate how Deku isn't just being blindly optimistic/naive and understands how hosed up things are but still stands his ground? Like he's neither cowering down nor just pretending there's nothing wrong. He's acting like a real person and I like that. Makes him tons more likable. And yeah, jesus, Endeavor is a dick. Todoroki's daddy issues seem uh, pretty loving justified.

I like the trio that's going on with Deku, Bakugou, and Todoroki, especially with the title of the chapter. You've got Deku, who was born with nothing. No quirk, which was supposed to mean no chance, no dreams, no nothing. But even so, through hard work, he's gone beyond the realm of what everyone thought was impossible. He grew up with everyone treating him like crap, but now he's seen what it feels like to be on the top like All Might. He's got friends who trust him without any reserves, friends who acknowledge him and seek to surpass him, and the guy with the strongest quirk in his class has marked him as his rival. You've got Bakugou, a born winner. Everyone around him looked up to him, including Deku. So he can't stand been looked down upon. But he's learned that there's always someone better. He's no longer the frog in the well, and his new classmates aren't afraid to call him out on his poo poo. He's also seen humiliation from the guy he used to bully, and barely escaped being knocked out of the tournament through sheer determination. And given that he was eavesdropping on Deku and Todoroki's conversation, he's seen what it's like for someone at the top. I'm hoping that he grows further as a character and develops a more complex motivation. He feels like the middle ground between the two extremes that are Deku and Todoroki, and I hope he gets to return to the spotlight cause he seems to be getting pushed away in favor of the Deku and Todoroki rivalry. Also because I just like him. Then you've got Todoroki. He wasn't just a born winner when it comes to quirks. He was specifically engineered to be the best. The second strongest hero specifically sought out the mother with the ideal quirk to create him. And given his actions, he's got a better grasp of his power than most. He was probably trained by Endeavor too, regardless of whether he wanted or not. He was born with everything, but he refuses to use everything at his disposal because of the very conditions he was born into. The All-Might and Endeavor dynamic is pretty interesting, too. You've got the natural hero at the top by following his heart, while the second place hero does everything he can to raise his own ranking but finds himself unable to go above the wall that is All-Might. Endeavor is constantly envious and bitter that he's not the best of the best despite the fact that second best is still a loving huge thing. It's like how I've read stuff about it being better to have the bronze than the silver, cause the silver is just a reminder that you couldn't get the gold. All-Might's new to this teaching thing, and he just happened upon his disciple unlike Endeavor, who did everything he could to ensure he could have a son that could make up for his failures. It's the all-too real cliche of the parent forcing the child to live out failed dreams. Like forcing your son to play football because you had a bum knee (I'm pretty sure this is the plot of several movies in America), or that thing in Assassination Classroom with Nagisa and his mother. Yet, when you get down to it, Deku seems far happier than Todoroki. Does that dude even smile? I guess you could say that All-Might tries with all his heart, while Endeavor just tries too heard and thinks too much? All-Might doesn't really care about standing out, which is precisely why he does. He's a more approachable and 'human' hero than Endeavor, who's obsessed with rankings. I just really like this series so far and I believe that it'll continue to be amazing. gently caress yeah quirk fights.

I am a stone cold sucker for tournament arcs, I don't care how cliche they are or how contrived the set-up has to be to get there. Put one in a series as creative and fun as this and I can't wait to see what goes down. But above all else: Tetsutetsu VS Kirishima. Make it loving happen, Horikoshi!

I don't think Tetsutetsu passed? Everyone expected his team to be in 3rd place but it turned out to be the guy who appears to have mind control powers. Tetsutetsu was teamed up with the chick with Plant Hair and the Skull Dude, and they somehow lost their points. It would be cool though. Poor Kirishima.

A lot of people have said things I already wanted to, but there's one thing I noticed that's sticking out at me: Despite everything we expected (and got right, like Todoroki's no-fire thing being because daddy issues), his horrible burn was actually inflicted by his mother, not his father. Which also kind of shoots some of the sympathy she'd otherwise have since holy poo poo don't do that to a kid no matter what, but still. Wow, Endeavor, you suck. Edit: Yeah, though, this chapter was good. I think my favorite moment, though, was the reveal of Bakugou standing there listening in on the conversation. You can tell he's sort of shocked, listening and having all his problems put into perspective when compared to what Todoroki's been through. (Or at least that's how it seems to me.). It's pretty great for a moment with no dialog directly attached to it itself. Roland Jones fucked around with this message at 09:03 on Feb 23, 2015 |

Yeah, the whole situation is hosed up. Married against your own will cause your family wanted that sweet sweet Endeavor money, so you take it out on your own son, who's innocent. Like, who does that? Who sees a woman and goes "I'll buy her" instead of thinking that there might be something wrong with forcing someone to have sex with you?

Aw hell, you guys are right. I remembered Tetsu^4's team being in third place and Midoriya coming in fourth so I thought the last minute grabs by Midoriya and Tokoyami bumped the original fourth out, but upon rereading it was not so. drat my memory, that's a real shame. The fateful showdown between copy-paste quirks will have to wait for another day/tournament arc.
