Hunt11 posted:The way I took that scene was that anybody else in the rescue group and there would be a second hesitation before Bakugo acted as with everybody else in the group there is some complications. With Kirishima there is no such issue because for the first time in a while Bakugou has somebody who he considers a friend and not a lackey or Deku. I think another reason why Deku planned it out this way is so Bakugou would have to save himself. Bakugou would be pissed if say, Iida ran by and grabbed him as fast as he could. This way, Bakugou got to use his own powers to get himself out of this situation, so his pride probably won't take as much of a hit.

He probably wants, or at least wanted, All-Might alive so he could take his quirk, even if we assume (and I wouldn't) that AfO doesn't know about OfA. I'd bet All-Might didn't (at the time, considering he's talking about arresting and locking up here) have any qualms about killing AfO. So, even if All-Might wasn't stronger and faster than him at the time, he was operating under a sort of big handicap.

Stealing the quirk of anyone who tries to fight him is probably his first move. One for all is sentient, so it probably can't be stolen.

Okay, there's a TL up on batoto by a group called 'mangafast'. I looked at their TL last week and it's utter trash. I refuse to read it. Just FYI for anyone who checks batoto frequently, they seem to to be sniping popular projects (hero and food wars so far).

Did he give his brother One For All? I might have gotten it wrong, but the way I understood it was that he gave a plain and simple super-strength Quirk to his brother, which then merged with his brother's original one ("transfer my Quirk to someone else") to become One For All. So All For One might not be able to take it back, because it's different than what he gave away in the first place.

So All For One might not be able to take it back, because it's different than what he gave away in the first place. It wasn't a super strength quirk, actually, it was a "power accumulation" quirk. The original One For All wasn't as powerful as what we've seen. Nor was it in the hands of the person AFO's brother passed it to. It's explicitly stated to grow in power with each new person who has it; AFO hasn't been dealing with a stream of All Might-level people since he started this, because All Might is the first person at his level. It's also why All Might was able to make such a big impact despite his quirk having originally belonged to someone else; when he got it, it was even more powerful than it had ever been previously. (Which also means that, should Deku ever manage to really get OFA under control, he's going to exceed All Might, though given that this is a shonen series that's kind of expected anyway.) Also, given that AFO killing All Might's mentor who gave him the quirk (who was also possibly Shigaraki's father apparently) was a big deal, I don't think passing on OFA is in and of itself a death sentence, unless that series of events went down in a very specific way. As for why AFO couldn't take it back, well, besides, again, it not being that impressive when his brother had it and him likely not having any reason to care or even awareness that he created a new quirk, AFO probably can't just steal powers at a touch. There's almost definitely more to it than that. Roland Jones fucked around with this message at 11:31 on May 13, 2016 |

Vengarr posted:No, that's exactly why he's trying to get Shigaraki to be more driven and focused. You need a strong mind and a strong will to possess so many quirks, and Shiggy is still just a man-baby at this point. That doesn't really jive with his actions so far. He's totally training up a successor, and it's not from the goodness of his heart. It's from the badness of his heart. Remember, just because he's charming and supportive and genuinely nice to his minions doesn't suddenly make him not a villain. He acts that way because after over a hundred years of experience in villainy he's learned that the best way to get people to take your side is to make them like you. To make them feel valuable. To make them feel wanted. To make them feel they genuinely have something to gain by being by your side, instead of being executed over a small mistake. He wants villainy to succeed, and he's come to feel that the best way to ensure that is to create fresh villains with fresh ideas. He believes in the potential of the next generation. It's just a pity the potential he believes in is their potential to be evil. tl:dr He's literally the wise old master passing the torch to the next generation. It's like how all the older (read: 30+ years old) characters were like in Naruto, like a villainous Third Hokage. But evil.

It occurs to me that, despite villainy not really being in his character, you could probably do a pretty good story out of Deku getting apprenticed by AfO instead of All Might. His backstory is a reasonable setup for him going that direction, and AfO seems like a way better teacher than All Might is--he and Deku would make a good pair. Of course, it'd probably be way more clichéd, but it's fun to think about.

One really nice detail about the manga is that sometimes when a character says something like "Whenever X felt like this, he did Y" they show some flashback panels to almost sort of substantiate the argument. Like here. don't know if certain tiny panels were written to plan for things like this or if the author looks back on the manga and sees what examples he can find...or a combination of both. But it really adds to making the storytelling feel really tight and not wasting any space with weird filler. It makes it feel like nothing is dead air if that makes sense.

One thing I found interesting about AfO's quirk usage is that it seems like he can use quirks in different ratios and "stack" the same quirk multiple times. I'm not sure if the "x4" referred to allocating more power to that quirk or literally using 4 of the same quirk captured from different people.

His comment makes it seem like he's stacking multiples of similar quirks. Like he said something about stealing another reinforcing quirk for the air blast combo he did.

SyntheticPolygon posted:Huh? What about Deku's backstory makes it seem likely that All For One would tutor him? His entire childhood is him getting dumped on by the designated 'hero'. Now, our main universe Deku held out hope through it all, kind of to the point of delusion (Deku, if you want to be a hero someday at least do some physical training I mean come on), but it's not *too* big of a stretch for him to just kind of give in under all that and resent the world's constant encouragement of Bakugou, who is kind of a terrible person--sort of like Stain's outlook on things. A nice little wellspring of resentment to draw from, there, and with proper nurturing you can turn that into full-blown hatred and more! Outside of that, Deku already has some of the qualities that AfO is trying to instill in Shigaraki--he's a thinker, through and through, and if anybody could use AfO to its full potential (aside from AfO himself), it's Deku.

I like that A4O even takes the time to explain to Shigaraki's goon why his teleportation quirk isn't the best choice in this scenario, instead of just glaring at him or telling him not to ask questions. Plus that flippant little hand shake after All Might punches him was pretty bad rear end. Baron Explodokill managing to hold out 6 vs. 1 for so long was impressive too.

I have a feeling that if they were A: on top of their game and not disoriented and freaked out, and B: not trying to pull their punches, he would've had a lot rougher time. But yes, he's still pretty badass.

Cryophage posted:Considering that his brother's quirk requires the subject to consume your DNA, it seems reasonable that AFO would work the same way, in reverse. The fact that One for All can be willingly given to another person, but only under certain conditions could be one reason why All for One hasn't stolen it back. The fact that it has a specific means for transference probably locks it against being transferred, unlike other quirks with no means of transference.
