Do you think OfA would let Deku pass the past users' quirks on to others? Or are all the powers part of OfA now inseparable

There's nothing really saying that -can't- happen. I just don't see it being the case. I think that would make it too similar to AfO's quirk.

To be fair Aizawa is in visual range now. Any sign of it getting out of control and he can shut them down immediately.

Maybe Aizawa is going to realize something is weird after trying to shutdown Deku's quirk with only partial success.

Of all the things that have bugged me about MHA over the last year or so this revelation honestly ranks pretty low but I've also never been particularly invested in "Deku is the underdog" to begin with. He's never been. He's as good as the top two people in his class, like, instantly. Who cares if he was damaging himself the whole time to do it? The story pretty clearly doesn't.

Yeah, when you think about it Midoriya being the underdog kinda ended when he inherited the worlds most powerful quirk at the end of chapter 2.

he definitely is seeing as he was giving bakugou a run for his money at that degree of power I'm more worried about what it'll mean for his powers going forward. I think the ideal would be luffy, where someone takes a relatively simple power and wrings as much out of it as possible with clever ideas. giving deku a bunch of distinct powers feels lazy and is kind of resetting his progress and understanding of his own quirk

RedMagus posted:I'm worried both about "gee how come your mom let you have 8 quirks", but also what really soured me was "ok, we just had a kid lose control of his quirk and do a large amount of damage. he's calmed down now, we have him under control.... and we should let everyone keep fighting. and targeting him." It's like the final of Zombie Land Saga where the stage starts breaking during their performance, the production staff starts freaking out, and their producer says "no, keep going" and then the entire thing collapses. Luckily they are already undead so it all works out but the casual disregard for safety from people that should be in charge is basically the same.

Manatee Cannon posted:eh I'm not on board with the quirkless idea but honestly I'm not sure about this yet either. time will tell but my initial thoughts can be summed up with "why?" It's kind of weird because Deku was already really strong (at this point he's stronger than almost the entire class except for, like, Bakugou and Todoroki) and on the path to gaining strength equal to (or realistically a bit greater than) the strongest hero of all time. Seems kind of excessive to give him even more power on top of that. I feel bad for sugar guy, whose quirk is just an objectively vastly inferior version of Deku's quirk, even before this revelation. The only way to sorta make this work is to have something occur that vastly powers up Deku's future opponents. Though that still leaves the problem of his classmates being left in the dust (aside from maybe Todoroki, whose quirk is pretty ludicrous itself).

Yeah, so far none of the kids have been shown to be on the same level as any of the high powered nomu, and guys like Dabi and Shigaraki are probably well above where the kids are at right now too. And we have guys like Gigantomachia and whatever other old allies of All For One lurking in the shadows.

I could see a scenario where Deku is never able to safely use 100% of OfA's strength and instead make up the difference with these other quirks. Or maybe the power of OfA will be spread among the various quirks instead of all being focused on strength or something.

He might never be able to match All Might's natural affinity for the physical gifts OFA grants, but with some other quirks thrown in there he can still become the best hero. It's also potentially very easy to just give him reasonable/weaker quirks. None of them have to be as good as Bakugo or Todoroki's quirks (todoroki ALREADY has two quirks anyhow, so Deku is just catching up), but the combination is what allows him to surpass everyone as the greatest hero. Which was kind of the premise from the start.

Plus Deku's naturally a more cerebral type of character with lots of thinking and analyzing. Having a toolbox of quirks suits him a lot better than "punch harder". This might be exactly what Deku needed to be the Batman (or Spider-Man, now that I think of it) to All Might's Superman.

Yeah, I was thinking if these quirks also stockpile power and emotional stability affect them, and I’m assuming black whip is the second OfA user that maybe it’s the only quirk now to have enough power to come out accidentally. It could be that he has to use super strength like a battery to power the other quirks. I didn’t want Deku to inherit the old user’s quirks but whatever, I read Naruto and Bleach till the end as long as this keeps getting published I’ll keep reading it

I just read the new chapter and I'm really torn on this. It definitely flows logically that One for All would be able to pass on its previous users' Quirks, and this series is absolutely in dire need of some new tools for its main character, but at the same time the fact that Deku now has seven Quirks really undermines a ton about the series up until now (in particular, any claim Deku has to be the underdog in any situation was already pretty tenuous, and now it's just hilarious) and has the potential to really gently caress with its direction. I honestly think the worldbuilding in this series is kind of bad most of the time, but the main character gaining a power this strong seems like it's going to obliterate a lot of the setting's most integral facets. Even just in the sense that it's blatantly going to lead to insane power creep that will likely strand most of the cast even further into abject uselessness, I'm pretty cautious about where this is headed. I still think the idea has the possibility to be really cool, this just seems like it could very likely embody the genre's worst excesses. Also I get why we're doing it, but I'm really upset that after that bombshell we're immediately headed back into the boring pointless class fight.

According to the chapter 214 preview, the fight should be ending next week, so this arc probably won't last much longer.

I really think it's going to depend what the other quirks will be If they're as simple as Black Whip, only more powerful due to OfA, then I don't really have a problem with it It's not like Deku will instantly know how to use each quirk; he went out of control when using this one
