He's in jail, it's fine, he'll never hurt anyone again, it's not like he's cultivated a steadily growing legacy or anything. Why, if that happened, it'd have to be one of the main themes of the series, and that's ridiculous.

I thought they'd mentioned at some point that AfO is actually, literally immortal? Or at least so durable as to be effectively so.

immortal no, unnaturally long-lived yes the man's probably loaded himself up with anti-ageing quirks, but it was sheer luck that he survived getting his head punched off

It's a little odd that he doesn't just keep a regen type quirk around all the time but if he did that there wouldnt really be a plot so

It was already mentioned but he didn't find one until after his head got smashed in. That one only healed him back to the point he was at when he got it, i.e. Having a mass of scar tissue instead of a face.

He'd been on top of the criminal underworld for so long that he believed he was unstoppable. Keeping a regenerative or defensive quirk around "just in case" would be an admission that he was vulnerable or that he believed there was a possibility he could actually lose. All Might being powerful enough to survive his attack and then rush him down and turn the top half of his skull into chunky salsa was not how All For One was expecting that fight to end.

I want to see how all for one does quirk transfers. It clearly isn't some instant thing he can do by like, just touching someone, as presumably if it was he's have just taken one for all The nomus were in weird vats but I dunno if that's purely part of the nomu-making process or if it's related to the quirk transfering at all

He could take the energy storing quirk though right? Or does one for all protect all quirks the user has? I guess it let's you be given quirks but doesn't let them be stolen?

The growing over time is part of the energy storage. One for All is a combination of that stockpiling and a Quirk that lets you transfer itself to other people.

All for One's whole thing, also, is that he steals quirks and gifts them out to his minions and underlings. Nowadays 80% of people have quirks, but back when it was like 20% of the population, the ability to steal useful powers and forge an army of grateful supervillains made up of the most loyal and capable enforces in itself is an incredibly OP ability before you get to him able to use them himself. And the way he took apart top heroes like Best Jeanist, why would he hold onto a regen quirk if he's basically invincible?

This, plus from the healing quirks we've seen so far I get the feeling that they're a bit like teleportation/portal quirks in that they tend to be both rare and gimmicky. (E.g. Recovery Girl just seems to accelerate natural healing to an absurd degree, but she can't regenerate severed body parts.)

I mean, this episode kinda felt like it spun the tires a bit. The most interesting parts were the end of Deku's test and the stinger. There's just not a whole lot to discuss, I think.

A filler episode and two episodes worth of setup, there's nothing really to talk about yet. This last episode was could have been a five minute recap instead of a full episode.

It's mostly build up and scene setting so far so there hasn't been much to talk about. I've been enjoying it so far though, especially the meeting between Overhaul and the League of Villains.

Yeah, right now it's just setting up the pieces for stuff that's going to happen later on, so I don't mind the slow burn. Really, the main thing I've taken away from this season so far is that Sir Nighteye is a dick.
