Junpei posted:Honestly? I wouldn't be surprised if AFO let Shigaraki use his Quirk on prisoners who were restrained or evidence he wanted to remove. This triggered some fan fiction in my head where Shigaraki rises through the ranks of the underworld by being the best "problem shredder" on the black market. It also made me think that he could also have run a legitimate industrial paper shredder business, which I find delightful.

So what are the odds on Eraser and Mic's friend being sent to the same hospital that gave Deku the quirkless prognosis? Has it been but stated that AFO's doctor and Deku's is the same guy?

The character analysis book that came out recent also revealed that the doctor owns hospitals and orphanages all over the country.

I hope Deku really was quirkless and it wasn't the doctor playing some shady game for some reason. It'll be real dumb if Midoriya ends up related to the original OFA holder so Deku *also* has some otherwise undetectable quirk that will end up making him the strongest OFA user of all time or some poo poo. Technically the only proof of Deku's quirklessness would be the foot x-ray which could easily be faked by the doctor, which is what has me worried.

I think it's dumb too but it is pretty odd that Deku is the one person in the entire world without a Quirk besides one character in Vigilante who used to have a Quirk.

If Midoriya had stayed quirkless and didn't go to the superhero school for people with superpowers, we probably would have seen more quirkless people wherever he ended up instead. But in the story as is there's no reason for the other quirkless members of society to be relevant.

It's treated as pretty drat abnormal and so far we've only seen two people in the entire series who were Quirkless, even counting Vigilantes which is less about Professional Superheroing. IIRC it's also treated as particularly unusual that Deku was quirkless despite both his parents having Quirks.

Gruckles posted:If he does, he's never used it on screen. He was described as "a human lie detector" once, and Vigilantes introduced his sister whose quirk is being able to tell if people are lying if she's touching them. So he might have that too, but it's unconfirmed. I think it was mentioned that he has a similar quirk but he doesn't use it because of the law.

His little sister has a similar quirk, so that tracks at least.

I liked the chapter in Vigilantes about Tsukauchi and Makoto since it showed how their Quirks had affected their sibling dynamic. While the two love and care for each other, they're not much for physical shows of affection because they need that to use their Quirks on someone. IIRC, Tsukauchi even complained that the only reason Makoto hugged him in that chapter was to pump him for information.

I figure that 80% statistic is skewed by generation and the increasing number of Quirks every generation after the Glowing Baby -- it's not so strange to see Quirkless seventy- and eighty-year-olds, but the current generation's Quirkless-to-Quirked ratio is probably minuscule.

Clearly Deku was born with a Quirk, but his father, AfO, took it from him when he was a baby as a dramatic plot twist.

ImpAtom posted:Yeah but... anime movies. She's shown up in one of the spin-off mangas, and Horikoshi said in interviews that the film counts, if memory serves. Also, the theory that the doctor managed to hide Deku's really having a quirk with something that'd show up on every medical checkup for the rest of his life seems... odd. And dumb.

If anything it makes me feel more certain that Deku is quirkless. Feels like the doctor would have been more involved in his childhood years if Deku had something worth investigating.

The big question is if the doctor can just copy quirks through taking blood or tissue samples or something or if he absolutely requires turning the subject into a noumu. I'm wondering just because his grandson and some of Bakugou's other friends from grade school seem like they share quirks with early noumu. Pretty dark if they had to die or be turned into noumu. Also his high end noumu in the tubes kinda bear a bit of resemblance to some of the bratty kids from the remedial exam.

My assumption is that unless AfO himself made a special appearance at the doctor's office to sneakily steal Deku's telekinetic breath, the Doctor wouldn't otherwise have anyway to harmlessly yoink a quirk out of him. Noumu production has always been implied to be really hosed up in every way.

I'm just trying to think of a way he could do it that it wouldn't have to explicitly involve dead/noumu'd kids since that seems a BIT too dark overall. But I guess it happened to Shirakumo.

So the current crazy theory is that if Deku had a quirk, it was Super Regeneration. Something that wouldn't be visually distinguishable to the normal person and very difficult to ever figure out unless like... Deku broke something. The reason people are behind this is that the doc mentioned that, if they'd had Super Regeneration earlier, AFO might not have been FUBARd
