"All For One. A power of The Chosen Oneyeah, if they’re a villain…"

The main protagonist of All For Luz. She's a 14-year-old, Afro-Latina girl who has a mysterious voice in her head in which starts mentoring her as she slowly goes down the line of becoming a vigilante, fighting against humans, witches, and other superhumans. However, being a Quirk user isn't as awesome as she thinks it is and over time she changes both physically and mentally for better or worse as she takes the anti-hero route.

Luz boasts a staggering power in a class of its own due to her infamous Emitter-Class Quirk, "All For One". With it, she can steal other Quirks for personal use or transfer them to others. She's the second wielder of this power after Rikitasu Shigaraki, a.k.a. The original All For One.

  • 11th-Hour Superpower: In the last chapter of Season 2, Luz gets this during her fight against the Golden Guard when she's about to be defeated and goes through a "Quirk Awakening" that not only increases the the number of Quirks her body can hold but also power-ups all the stolen Quirks that came with it. While its enough to defeat him, Luz is unable to stop The Dragon from destroying Gravesfield with his Limit Break in his last ditch attempt to kill her.
  • Ability Mixing: Luz how to do this from Shigaraki's advice. Click here for her section.
  • Accidental Murder: In chapter 22, She also accidently kills a teenaged boy while stealing his "Flamethrower" Quirk. Also many civilians get killed in the crossfire of her fights against the Wittebane assassins in the Battle of Gravesfield.
  • Action Girl: As the main protagonists of All For Luz and wielder of All For One, its no surprise Luz winded up being this by default.
  • Adaptational Angst Upgrade: Not only she a social outcast at school for being a weirdo but out of racism for her Latina heritage and ADHD. And the one teacher that's nice to her has led to rumors at school that they're having a sexual affair. She's also been physically assaulted and subjected to cruel pranks. Luz doesn't tell her mother any of this because she doesn't want her to worry anymore than she already does, who has taken up drinking and ended up having a massive argument the night before she goes to Reality Check Camp, while Camila was drunk. And it only goes south from there...
  • Adaptational Badass: Luz is the new bearer of All For One in this universe, giving her a level of inherent power that she never had canonically being a more direct threat in combat, thanks to all the Quirks she stole.
  • Adaptational Jerkass: After her experience at the Death Camp, she's a lot more open to using lethal force on her enemies and less tolerant of people who try to bully her, being more than happy to shut them up with either her fists or threats.
  • Afraid of Their Own Strength: Luz has to be careful with her Super-Strength Quirk, so that she can avert Does Not Know His Own Strength with her phone or other people. Its why she had been practicing controlling her power output.
  • Against the Grain: This what got her sent to Reality Check Camp in the first place, and All For One takes advantage of this mindset.
  • All of the Other Reindeer: Luz was this before the events of the story.
  • An Arm and a Leg: Luz occasionally loses limbs in her in her more serious fights, especially in the Battle of Gravesfield. Nothing her Healing Factor can't fix, though.
  • And I Must Scream: When Luz has been reduced to Ludicrous Gibs, she's aware of what's going on in her surroundings while in excruciating pain.Luckily she's doesn't remain like this for long thanks to her newly buffed Healing Factor.
    There was pain. Her body felt like it was on fire. Everything burned, everything hurt.
  • And Show It to You: Luz has does this twice while killing her enemies: Jacob of Team Heaven's Devils and Charlie from the Wittebane Militia Unit.
  • And That's Terrible: Luz mentally notes anybody who lets anyone sleep with shoes on after kidnapping them is a sick freak.
  • Anti-Hero: Luz develops a more ruthless personality after her experience at the Death Camp, becoming willing to do whatever is necessary to protect the ones she cares about, even lethal force, and avenge them.
  • The Apprentice: Luz is this to Rikitasu Shigaraki, the original All For One.
  • Arbitrary Skepticism: Luz is willing to accept The Multiverse as a real thing but initially doesn't believe in parallel worlds in her own dimension until Shigaraki dryly points out this flawed logic.
  • Arch-Enemy: Tyler Wittebane, despite having never (yet) met personally. The Sinister Minister regards Luz as the Antichrist for being potentially the powerful superhuman and has hired assassins to kill and her mother. For Luz, she hates the manipulative bigot for his role in creating the Death Camp, including sending his own daughter, Luz's First Friend, to her demise. They both fully intend to kill one another.
  • Attack on the Heart: Narrowly averted as Luz gets shot by a gunman in chapter 17.
  • Awesome, but Impractical: By the end of Chapter 12, Luz had 28 different Quirks she could use for Mass Quirk combinations similar to Shigaraki's 'ultimate combination of Quirks'. However, this far more than her body could handle and ends up suffering a bloody Heroic RRoD, nearly died and had to give away more than half of them to stabilize herself.
  • Ax-Crazy: Can very much get like this when in her Roaring Rampage of Revenge mode. And its only gotten worse by All For One's influence, her severe PTSD and constantly put into Kill Or be Killed situations.
  • Axes at School: Before the beginning of the story, Luz was sent to the principal's office for the last time for bringing in live snakes and a large firework rocket to spice up her book report like in the show.
  • Bad Powers, Good People: Being a Power Parasite isn't usually a power that you would associate with a Nice Girl like Luz, is it? Luz especially hates the idea of having such a power, partly because she's always wanted to be special, and All for One revolves taking what makes other people special.
    • She has also stolen a lot Quirks that belonged to her enemies.
  • Badass Boast: On the way to the Wittebane Mega Church, Luz is confronted by another squadron of 8 cops holding her at gun-point. The unimpressed All For One user, warns them the last group of cops that tried this didn't work out for them.
    Luz: Now… I don’t think I need to tell you guys how much of a dumb idea this is, do I?The last group of police got turned into smears on the road for attempting this. So long as you don’t fire your guns—any of you—you all can go home, have dinner with your families, and forget about what it is that happened today, kay?” (Narrows her flashing red eyes, as she smirks). Of course, we can also do things the fun way, but that’s up to you.
  • Badass Fingersnap: Learning from Sophia, she does this to change her red orbs to blue or vice versa to surprise her foes with her Limitless Quirk.
  • Badass in a Nice Suit: Luz wears one as part of her Vigilante Costume. She can also kick a lot of ass with her many Quirks.
  • Battle Aura: Luz sometimes radiate black and red lightning giving this impression.
  • Be Careful What You Wish For: As Luz starts to break down into tears in chapter 23, she laments how in just a single month her life has turned to hell. She once thought that the Mass Super-Empowering Event was a dream come true that would vindicate her worldview to those that looked down on her only for her dream to turn into a nightmare as she suffers a long Trauma Conga Line, as her life keeps getting worse.
  • Berserk Button: Betraying her is a good way to put you on her shit-list, as Riley found out the hard way.
  • Berserker Tears: After discovering bodies of her summer camp friends, Luz's tears of sorrow soon turns to tears of rage under All For One's sway.
  • The Bet: With her appearance resembling All For One's, King tells Toshiko to beat it before he takes his anger out on her. Instead of running away, the girl smirks wanting to test her powers on the monster. She makes a deal with him: If he can beat her unconscious within a full minute she'll leave. But, if can't she'll fight back and he has to take her to his home. The King of Demons accepts the challenge.
    Toshiko: How about this, I’ll give you a full minute to beat me into submission. If you can render me unconscious, once I wake up, I’ll leave. But, if you fail to do so, I get to retaliate against you, and then, you’ll take me to your home. Sound fair?
  • Better with Non-Human Company: Luz gets along with King the Titan with for their first hour they met than most people in her home realm in her entire life.
  • Big Damn Heroes: Luz recuses a girl after being kidnapped by 2 armed robbers in chapter 14.
  • Blank White Void: Luz's dreamscape is this, except its black in color.
  • Blessed with Suck: On her way to the Wittebane Mega Church, Luz remarks to herself that ever since she woke up with her "All For One" Quirk her life has pretty been ruined forever, even if she finds peace in killing Tyler Wittebane.
  • Blinded by Rage: Luz becomes this after her cousin Riley betrays her and attempts to murder her even she tried to give herself up to the police in chapter 17. Luz doesn't demand to know why Riley betrayed her and tell her to surrender peacefully, like she normally would. Luz just wants Riley dead, familial ties be damned. By the time she finally calms down, Riley and her accomplice have escaped her wrath, Luz has blown up an entire supermarket and turned the whole squad of cops about to arrest her into Ludicrous Gibs with her exploding Deadly Force Field. All this occurs in front of shocked onlookers, including her horrified mother, who recorded the whole thing, labelling her a villain.
  • Blithe Spirit: Luz was this before the Death Camp experience caused her to become a violent cynic. Though this might change in the Boiling Isles.
  • Blood from the Mouth: Luz spews blood as she experiences "Quirk Overload". She also coughs up a bit of blood not long after she wakes up from her coma and during her many fights.
  • Blown Across the Room: This happens to Luz a couple of times fighting the Wittebane's assassins. One time she was Punched Across the Room, too.
  • Body Horror It can get pretty graphic describing the injuries Luz survives. Ever since she gained Super Regeneration, Luz's body has been mangled and devastated by multiple different Quirk users and sheer physical trauma, to the point that it's all but said that the only reason she doesn't die even with her potent Healing Factor is her sheer willpower, allowing the Quirk to pull her back together no matter how badly she's hurt. It's to the point that her enemies are horrified at the fact that she just doesn't die no matter what they throw at the girl.
  • Book Dumb: Luz is intelligent, is an avid reader, and has a strong desire to learn new things. Despite this, her grades were rather lackluster back on Earth, thanks to her ADHD.
  • Boring, but Practical: Her main method of killing her enemies is to do Head Crushing with her Super-Strength. Its not flashy or pleasant to look at, but it gets the job done.
  • Break the Cutie: Let's see... Luz is made to go through with Reality Check Camp. Only instead of that, she's forced into a war game by a xenophobic governor. Begged to hurt her new friend who wants her power taken away. Sees said new friends killed before her very eyes. She has the voice of a complete psychopath in her mind wanting her to let loose. Becomes a killer herself. And gains a Hero with Bad Publicity status back home with assassins out to get her, including her cousin. To say Luz gets put through the wringer here is the understatement of the decade and it doesn't get any better for her.
  • Broken Bird: Having suffered a lot as at the Death Camp and going through even more suffering when she came back home from her community has made her a very cynical and violent badass.
    How could she feel the same passion for what she did after that week in literal hell? After seeing all that needless violence. After feeling all of that blood on her skin — blood that wasn’t hers. How could she take even the slightest bit of joy out of anything she did knowing that she was a mass murderer, who would never be punished for her actions?
  • Broken Tears: Luz breaks down crying when the traumatic events of the battle of Gravesfield becomes too much for her and hugs All For One, much to the villain's surprise.
  • Brought Down to Badass: After her Heroic RRoD, Luz had to give away 18 of the 28 Quirks she gathered at the Death Camp for the sake of her health. This doesn't prevent her kicking any less ass.
  • Brutal Honesty: When a worried Camila asks Luz where she's going now, Luz simply tells her she intends to track down and kill the Wittebanes before they kill her first and informs her that her niece Riley, that stayed the night with them, tried to murder her.
  • Boyish Short Hair: Like in the show, Luz has a slightly outgrown pixie cut that is just long enough to cover her earlobes, which helps hide that she's human in the Boiling Isles. She slowly grows her hair out in Season 3, as her hair turns white.
  • Bully Magnet: She's this at her school. Poor girl...
  • Butch Lesbian: A bisexual example. Luz is gender non-conforming, with a pixie cut, and prefers suits and pants over dresses and skirts. She also has several more traditionally feminine hobbies and interests such as romance, and cute animals, while her fictional idol Azura is a very feminine Magical Girl.
  • Call-Back: Luz notes having just two extra Quirks is hampering her more than when she had 18 over the limit. She reasoned that she hadn’t felt this before back at the Death Camp was because of all of the adrenaline at the time.
  • Calling Your Attacks: In later chapters, Luz sometimes does this like "Forcefield Cannon" and "Limitless Gravity Volley". This makes All For One nostalgic.
    Shigaraki: Named attacks? I heard that kind of thing in my world. I even had a few. You’re quite the natural.
  • Cassandra Truth:
    • When Luz tries to tell her mother she's got holes in her hands, Camila initially believes she just drew them on and tells her to clean them off. Its only after being clean with a cloth and could feel the holes does she realise her daughter is telling the truth.
    • Luz fears her teammates won't believe her if she tells them she took Julia's Quirk away from her with her permission. Luckily for her they believe she's being honest.
    • Luz doesn't bother trying to explain to the crowd and her mother about what happened at The Independent believing that whatever answer she gave, no one was going to listen a word of what she would say, due to seeing her become a Cop Killer.
  • Casual Danger Dialogue: Luz's first response to the first gunman is to politely ask him what he wants with a Seen It All attitute until he fires warning shots scaring away thee other shoppers.
  • Character Development: When initially introduced, she has her canon personality: eccentric, geeky, cheerful and optimistic. However, because of her traumatising experiences involving the death camp and assassins trying to kill her, she becomes a lot more ruthless, guarded, and brutal. Though she still keeps her sense of justice and compassion.
  • The Chosen One:
    • In chapter 5, Shigaraki calls Luz this for being his Quirk's successor. This excites Luz until he explains what her power is.
    Luz: A power of The Chosen One… yeah, if they’re a villain….
  • Clothing Damage: Recently, this has been happening a lot to her in her more destructive fights that it becomes a Running Gag.
    • In chapter 14, a shogun blast from one of the robbers damages Luz's suit, exposing part of her bra.
    • By chapter 15, her vigilante suit is all but destroyed. Her mother is now patching it up.
    • In chapter 17, after healing from her gunshot wounds, the only evidence Luz was shot in the first place are the bullet holes in her tank-top.
    • Chapter 20 has Luz suffer this again and ends up stealing some clothes from a bystander.
    • In chapter 22, the explosion from her clash with the Golden Guard leaves Luz topless. Not wanting fight in the buff Luz mugs a boy she for his hoodie and his Quirk.
  • Combo Platter Powers: Having the All For One Quirk, Luz can combine different Quirks together to create devastating attacks.
  • Combat Pragmatist: Luz takes this further than canon by being willing to use her foes as a Human Shield, use lethal force on them, or if they have a Quirk just use her Power Parasite ability to De-power them.
  • Conditioned to Accept Horror: When held at gunpoint at the supermarket, Luz offhandedly notes he's the third person this month to do that to her.
  • Cornered Rattlesnake: Luz can be best described as this during the Battle of Gravesfield with all the assassins and cops trying to kill her, forcing her to respond with lethal force in kind.
  • Cop Killer: Luz becomes this in chapter 18, wiping out an entire squad of them, along with the sheriff, with her Deadly Force Field when Blinded by Rage.
  • Cosmic Plaything: Life hasn't been kind to Luz even more-so than the show, Luz seems to come to the conclusion she is this, frustrated by the unfairness of her situation.
  • Curb-Stomp Battle: Nearly anyone who faces her in a battle always loses when Luz stops holding back, even when they initially have the upper hand with superior numbers.
  • Curb Stomp Cushion: With her insane Healing Factor, powerful attacks and near-infinite endurance, this is usually the best Luz's enemies can hope for in a fight against her.
  • Cynicism Catalyst: Discovering the mangled corpses of half her team is this for Luz, causing her a complete Innocence Lost for the poor girl.
Luz: And here I thought diplomacy would’ve worked… My faith in humanity plummeted when I got here, but maybe, just maybe you and the other team would’ve been more humane than the bastard running this cruel joke. Guess I was wrong.
  • Dark Action Girl: Luz has become an Anti-Hero version of this during the Deadly Game at summer camp. Luz, You really are an otter with a dark-side...
  • Dark and Troubled Past: Luz has been bullied and excluded for being weird, Latina and having ADHD her entire life. She also lost her beloved father at a young age in a car crash when on the way to daycare and believes that her antics are a burden to others, including her mother.
  • Dark Is Not Evil: Often wears dark clothes, and a has dark-colored Quirk, yet wants to be a hero.
  • Deadly Upgrade: Taking more Quirks beyond her body's limit is considered this.
  • Deadpan Snarker: She becomes more like this thanks to her new found cynicism.
  • Deal with the Devil: She has sort of made this with Shigaraki to be her Evil Mentor in regards to her powers.
  • Death from Above: Luz attempts to do this on Riley but Millie saves her.
  • Death Glare:
    • Luz gives one to Shigaraki, making it clear she's not happy that he can drag her into the Mental World whenever she closes my eyes and can't sleep properly.
    • Luz gives one to Judy as she's about to interrupt her while interrogating Stanley, shutting her up. Its also her default look in chapter 12.
    • Post-Death Camp, she'll often shoot one at anyone idiotic enough to mess with her, sometimes ending a fight before one starts.
  • Death of Personality: All For One's ultimate plan for Luz is to absorb her rage and hatred while burying what remains of her actual personality deep within herself forever.
  • Death Wail: Luz does an agonising one after discovering the mangled bodies of her friends at summer camp and succumbs to All For One's influence in her rage and grief.
  • Defensive "What?": Luz has this reaction people start staring at standing up to her former middle school bully, they immediately pretend that they didn't see anything.
  • Despair Event Horizon: Luz hits hers before her Quirk Awakening.
  • Destructive Saviour: The Golden Guard notes throughout their fight that Luz is accidently destroying the town she's trying to protect with her Quirks.
  • Determinator: Luz won't almost never give up on fighting for herself, her loved ones and getting her revenge.
  • Didn't Think This Through: Luz at one point shot her "Vines" Quirk at Cody, aiming to subdue him. However, Cody lashes back with his flame arm, making them catch on fire as they rapidly devoured them. Luz, panicking, quickly retracted the Vines, however, that had been a mistake as the fire travelled with them towards her. Fortunately, Judy cuts off the burning vines before they burn her.
  • Disappointed by the Motive. After everyone attending Reality Check Summer Camp is forced into a Deadly Game, Kennedy forms an alliance calling themselves "Heaven's Devils" and winds up slaughtering Luz's new friends. But this wasn't simply some scared teenagers trying to survive; the monster behind the Deadly Game was offering a bounty on Luz's head, and Kennedy wanted all that money for himself, much to Luz's disgust and outrage, so she decides to kill them all in revenge.
    Anger flashed on her face. Money…? This was all for money…? Her friend… allies… dead for extra cash…?
  • Discard and Draw: After giving away most of her Quirks at the end of season 1, she gains 7 more ones (including a previous one she gave away) by the end of season 2.
  • Disease Bleach: Luz's hair turning white is revealed to be because of All For One messing with her mentally and twisting of her mind into something more akin to him was having a real effect on her body. By chapter 23, it turns completely white as she has her Quirk Awakening.
  • Ditzy Genius: Most people she knew didn’t want to acknowledge the fact that Luz was smart. Sure, she's aware she's had her dumb moments, but most of the time, she's wicked sharp when it came to problem solving. She just happened to focus too much of it on her creativity. But with no creative outlet in the Death Camp to hone that one, all she had to focus that intellect on was the situation at hand.
  • Does Not Know His Own Strength: Luz ended up tearing the getaway van of the bank robbers in half by accident, with her Super-Strength and Wolverine Claws.
  • The Dog Bites Back: Luz admits to All For One that deep down she likes the idea of taking power away from those she believes that don’t deserve it, especially those that discredited her creativity and wrote her off as just a weirdo.
    • In chapter 14, At a donut shop, one of Luz's former bullies tries to antagonise her, only for the teen to put her in place.
  • Don't Ask: Luz does NOT want to talk about her actions in the forest. The part where she took those kids' Quirks after killing them.
  • Don't You Dare Pity Me!: Downplayed. Luz notes there was a part of her that hated seeing someone was worried about her. Though she's more polite than most examples, instead just telling them she's fine.
  • Doom Magnet: Luz Noceda seems to have some kind of gravitational pull for terrible events even moreso than canon. Not only did her father die from a heart disease early in her life, but is made to go through with Reality Check Camp a day after the Mass Super-Empowering Event, only she's forced into a Deadly Game by an Antagonistic Governor with 33 other superhuman teens. She discovers that the Quirk she has is a Power Parasite ability that comes with All For One squatting in her Mental World with no way to evict him who has his own agenda for her. A week later she discovers her new camper friends were brutally killed, including her First Friend, thanks to the governor putting a hit on her, All For One convinces her to Pay Evil unto Evil and wipe out the enemy teams. A month later, Tyler Wittebane also puts a hit on her that results in: a supermarket getting destroyed, a squad of cops getting wiped out, her mother getting murdered by a Psycho for Hire, an all out fight that destroys a chunk of Gravesfield and kills countless people, before the town itself gets wiped off the map. The reason why she doesn't have big of a Guilt Complex than in the series is because her Evil Mentor is molding her mind to lean towards a Never My Fault attitude.
  • The Dreaded: Luz is seen as this to her hometown for what she did in "The Massacre Of Fools" and the lucky few that survive fighting her. Any time a local looked at Luz, it was either with fear or anger. Little children would run away from her in fear, adults would run indoors after a mere glance of her. After the gory results of the supermarket fight, Shigaraki notes that even her own mother looks afraid of her now.
  • Drugs Are Bad: Luz certainly thinks so after seeing a bunch of drug addicts high off their marbles in an alleyway in chapter 15.
  • Drunk on the Dark Side: Luz does when she steals more Quirks and goes on a Roaring Rampage of Revenge of the 2 teams that killed her new friends, constantly giving a Psychotic Smirk.
  • Enfant Terrible: Jonah snarks that Luz is a terrifying little girl.
  • Empty Shell: Camila described Luz as this compared to her Genki Girl pre-summer camp self.
    When she looked at Luz, Camila didn’t see her daughter. She saw someone who looked like her daughter, sounded like her, and had the same likes and dislikes, but she wasn’t her daughter.
  • Enhanced Punch: Similar to what Shigaraki tried on All Might, Luz created an attack by mashing 7 physical Quirks together to kill the team leader who led the massacre of her new friends.
  • Evil Feels Good: Luz is disturbed that this might apply to her.
    So if what she did was bad… why didn't she feel bad about doing it? She committed a crime, one of the worst kinds, murder, and she felt nothing for doing it.
  • Eyes Always Averted: Luz notes that making eye contact with anyone was hard enough for herself as it was when she's in a good mood, let alone when she's upset.
  • Eye Scream: Sitting in a pool of her own blood, Luz also notices she's missing her right eye from Sophia's Quirk in chapter 19. It gets better.
  • Facepalm Of Doom: Luz does this a lot with lethal results thanks to her Super-Strength.
  • Facial Horror:
    • During Chapter 21, the left-side of Luz's face gets torn off after getting knocked off the by Millie. Once again she recovers thanks to her Healing Factor.
    • In chapter 22, during her with fight the Golden Guard, the later blasts the former outside her old school with a laser beam. When the dust settles, her face is described as being burned off. Luckily, her Healing Factor soon fixes that.
  • Fallen Hero: Luz's Vigilante Man persona, All For One, becomes this to her town Gravesfield when her identity is revealed and she becomes Cop Killer in front of horrified witnesses when squad led by a corrupt sheriff tries to perform Police Brutality on her and turns them in to Ludicrous Gibs when Blinded by Rage.
  • Fascinating Eyebrow: Luz raises an eyebrow when Julia giggles at her antics instead of being mad at her.
  • Fingore: At one point in the supermarket fight, Derreck grabs some of Luz's Spear Fingers and crushes them. Luckily, her Super Regeneration means they don't stay like that for long.
  • Finishing Move: She tries one against Kennedy, combining Springlike Limbs, Kinetic Force, Super-Strength, Force Multiplier, Shock Absorption, Sword and Vines into her right arm for a devastating blow to crush Kennedy. Unlike Shigaraki, this proves successful in killing her target.
  • Finishing Stomp: Luz has used her Super-Strength to kill her enemies this way, most notably Jacob and Jonah Smith.
  • Fitness Nut: Downplayed. Camila notes another less extreme change about Luz is her becoming this, actively going to the gym to work out on a regular basis. The old Luz was dicey around the idea of gratuitous exercise, but this is because its a requirement to hold more Quirks.
  • Flying Brick: With her Super-Strength, Super-Toughness and Not Quite Flight Quirks, she can be this.
  • Freak Out: Not long after she wakes up from her coma, Luz has a panic attack after having flashbacks of all the horrible things she witnessed at the Death Camp. This occurs in front of her distressed mother, as she is hurried out of her hospital by the doctors trying to sedate her.
  • Friendless Background: Just like in the show. She makes her First Friend in Julia Wittebane and then with the rest of the Alpha Squadron. Despite having known them for a week, she's devastated to find their corpses and goes on a Roaring Rampage of Revenge.
  • From Nobody to Nightmare: An anti-hero example. Luz starts the story off as a misunderstood but kind teenager, desperately attempting to prove her worth to her peers. With the Mass Super-Empowering Event, she gains the All For One power along with the spirit of her predecessor in her head as she and other teens are kidnapped by The Governor and put in a Deadly Game. By the end of Season 1, Luz has gained enough Quirks to carry out a Total Party Kill for the opposing teams and gain the highest body count. At the end of Season 2, Luz has brutally killed all the Wittebane assassins sent after her and contributed to the destruction of Gravesfield before fleeing to the Boiling Isles as a wanted domestic terrorist.
  • Gender-Concealing Voice: As part of her vigilante costume, Luz's voice changer makes sound like a guy, helping her hide her Secret Identity. Although the kidnapped teen girl figures out she's a girl, when [art of her bra gets exposed from a shotgun blast.
  • Genre Savvy:
    • Luz claims that she's seen enough death-game anime to know where being kidnapped by some guy in a military uniform is going. She makes a conscious effort to keep a rational head, and to not do or say anything reckless in her situation.
    • The moment Luz laid eyes on Shigaraki, she could tell he was evil in all CAPS and would try to manipulate her for his own purposes.
    • She also figures that Governor Maxwell doesn’t plan to give any money to the victor. The moment they finish this Deadly Game, he’s either going to forcibly recruit them into the military as Super Soldiers or pull a Leave No Survivors on them.
    • In chapter 15, Luz figures out that Sheriff Johnson has turned the whole town against her for her role in his nephew's death.
    • By chapter 18, Luz soon puts it together that the Wittebanes hired Riley and others to murder her.
  • The Glomp:
    • Luz does this to Julia when thanking her for offering to be her Number Two. Julia returns the hug.
    • When Luz meets her cousin Riley for the first time in years across the street and the first thing she does is use her Spring Coil limbs to do this to her.
  • Glowing Eyes of Doom: Luz has these when she resolves her to kill Jonah. In fact, she can have these when she becomes murderously enraged.
  • Godzilla Threshold:
    • In chapter 16, All For One predicts that there would come a point when Luz wouldn’t have a choice but to take more Quirks, be it out of necessity, or by his hand.
    • In chapter 22, Luz takes a sixteenth Quirk, one more beyond her current limit, in order to find one that can counter Hunter's Quirk. It already puts a strain on her body.
  • Good Is Not Soft: Luz might be trying to be a good person, but make her angry or be stupid enough of fight him, and you'll soon realize that's a really bad idea.
    • When Luz hears about the Wittebanes' plans and their role in their daughter's murder, she is so outraged that she vows to stop them even if it means she has to take more lives to stop them.
    • With Millie finally at her mercy, Luz interrogates the little witch on where the Wittebanes are. Her foe spitefully tells her he left Gravesfield before the battle even started and she won't be able to find them.

  • Hates Their Parent: Downplayed. When Luz wakes up and first sees her concerned mother, she admits to herself that part of herself does hate Camila for unwittingly dumping into that horrible situation. However, she doesn't want to take her anger out on her or tell her that as her mother already feels guilty enough.

  • Hearing Voices: She often hears Shigaraki talking to her when not in the Mental World.
  • Hero with Bad Publicity: Luz gains this status after the sheriff of Gravesfield leaks her role in The Massacre Of Fools.

  • Heroic RRoD:
    • Luz has at the climax of chapter 12 has gained immense strength and power of 28 Quirks but this amount is more than her body is capable of handling.

Fortunately for Luz, she has a strong enough Healing Factor to survive and the soldiers that arrived are there to rescue her.
    As she went to use the power, however, for a split second, her body writhed in pain.
    • Luz goes through this after she steals two quirk too many and the Golden Guard takes full advantage of this. Eventually, her body is no longer responding to her from the toll of her battles and too many Quirks, in agony as her Pain Nullification fails her, struggling to breathe, and heart rate slowing down. Shigaraki reprimands her stealing the extra Quirks and insists on expelling them to a bystander immediately. When she tries to argue, her Evil Mentor in all seriousness that she will die if she doesn't.

  • The Hunter Becomes the Hunted:
    • The 2 teams at the Death Camp target Luz after being promises billions to kill her... she quickly turns the tables on them. In fact, most people that start a fight with her end up dead.
    • This also happens with the assassins hired by Tyler Wittebane to kill Luz at the supermarket. Luz at one point remarks that every opponent she had fought had fallen to her hands. Every enemy who was out to kill her had died by her hands.
  • If Only You Knew: At that point, Luz muses that had done what The Governor probably wanted to happen. She has no idea how right she is.
  • Impaled with Extreme Prejudice: Luz is often on the giving and receiving end of this in her fights.
  • Implacable Man: Luz has become this thanks to her utterly ridiculous Healing Factor, Feel No Pain Quirks and sheer tenacity. None of her enemies so far manage to stop her for prolonged period, and she just keeps on fighting until she's victorious.

  • The Insomniac:
    • Downplayed. She notes it usually took her an hour at best to go to sleep after going to bed, mostly due to the fact that she never seemed to run out of energy.

  • Instant Expert: It doesn't take long for Luz to understand how Limitless works after just getting it. All she had to do was will the energy to her palm and fire it off. In fact, this can apply to all the other Quirks she has, the only thing she needs to do is decide what Quirks would work best in her situation. This is justified as All For One recommended she chose to keep Quirks that would be straightforward and easy-to-use when first gained, something he himself shows a preference for in his original body.
  • In the Back: Just when looks like Luz has claimed victory... Hunter stabs her from behind with his light sword. Luckily, she has a buffed Healing Factor.
  • In the End, You Are on Your Own: Before Luz plans to wait for the 2 enemy teams to fight them, she orders the remainder of her team to flee for their lives and not come back. What's left of new friends are hesitant to leave her to fight alone but comply.
  • Innocence Lost: Luz Noceda's innocence died along with her new friends at summer camp.
  • Irony:
    Luz: Suck it, crappy teachers! 1 point for Luz, 0 points for restrictive school!
    • When she is kidnapped and put in a Deadly Game with other superhuman teenagers, Luz is especially alarmed for, as far as she could tell, everyone else in the room had stronger, better powers than her holed hands. Turns out she has the infamous All For One Quirk, making her the most dangerous and lethal combatant of all.
    • In chapter 17, Luz recently bought a pair of black airforce shoes of which is also a named the meme “Black Airforce Energy” used to describe the footage of her butchering those campers. The punchline being she has no idea what the phrase means.

  • It's All My Fault: As Luz breaks down in tears, she believes she has failed her fallen comrades after discovering their corpses in chapter 12.

    J-R 
  • Jawbreaker: In chapter 19, Luz could also feel air passing through her lower jaw... then realising that was missing now due to Sophia's attack. Luckily, she could heal from that.
  • Jerk with a Heart of Gold: Despite having a colder attitude, she cares about keeping her friends, town and mother safe from danger.
  • Jerkass Has a Point: While she was a bit rude, Julia concedes Luz is right that the governor that kidnapped them wants them all dead so why would he provide them a doctor if they got sick?
  • The Juggernaut: She is described as this by Sophia and she ain't wrong.
    Sophia: Even after hitting her point blank with Red, she’s recovered almost completely. It was just as Bombardier warned. No matter how much punishment you dish out, she’ll just come back from it.
  • Karma Houdini: Luz sees herself as this for killing twenty people and being allowed to walk free. The Gravesfield Sheriff sees her as this, too.
  • Kick the Dog: Luz, we understand you needed a new shirt and pants due to the Clothing Damage you suffered from your fights in Gravesfield, but did you really have to knock out a random bystander and steal it from her, leaving the poor girl in her underwear?
  • Kid Hero: She's only 14-years old and is the main character of the story.
  • Killing in Self-Defense: Luz offing the assassins sent after her counts as this.
  • Killing Intent: Luz seems to have this during the Massacre of Fools causing all her enemies to be paralysed with fear before running for their lives.
  • Know When to Fold 'Em: With over half a dozen cops holding her at gunpoint and Millie revealing her Vigilante Man identity and her role in The Massacre of Fools, Luz decides to surrender peacefully before things escalate further... only for her older cousin Riley to touch her from behind her and activate her Bomb Touch Quirk...
  • Lack of Empathy: Downplayed but Luz seems to be developing this. Case and point, Luz's first concern about accidently blowing up her old school in her fight with the Golden Guard was that there's no one left alive to dump off the excessive Quirk to, rather than have a My God, What Have I Done? reaction.
  • The Leader: She is made leader of The Alpha Squadron at summer camp.
  • Leader Wannabe: Inverted for Luz. She really doesn't want to lead but reassures her team she'll do her best.
  • Life Isn't Fair: Luz realized this pretty quickly at school, especially with people making fun of her for being "weird" or "crazy", or stole her lunch money.
  • Lightning Bruiser: With her Quirks she can hit hard, tank a lot of damage and move quite fast.
  • Locked Out of the Loop: Exploited by Jonah. The hitman tricks Luz (who has no idea Camila is Dead All Along) into believing she killed her own mother with her Forcefield Cannon when Charlie teleports her corpse in the attack, blowing her up.
  • Logical Weakness: As befitting a girl with many Quirks, she possesses many weaknesses along with them, enough for its own section.
  • Lovecraftian Superpower: Whenever she uses her Quirks, you can often expect a lot of Body Horror to go with it.
    • Her Spring-Limbs Quirk causes her arm to compress and inflate like an actual spring.
    • When killing Kennedy to avenge Julia's murder, Luz uses a mass combination of Quirks to transform her entire right arm into an elephant leg-sized grotesque sight of hypertrophied flesh, wrapped with thorny vines with blades sticking out, almost similar to what All For One uses to fight All Might in their Final Battle.
    • A special mention when she performs a Pulling Themselves Together act after being reduced to bloody chucks that horrifies her foes witnessing it.
  • Ludicrous Gibs: Luz is reduced to bloody chunks by her cousin Riley's Quirk in chapter 17 when she betrays her... luckily she uses her Quirks in a Pulling Themselves Together move and becomes more angry than hurt.
  • Luminescent Blush:
    • Luz has this when Julia asks her to be her friend.
    • She also has this when she realises she just hugged Julia without asking and apologises. Luckily, for her Julia doesn't mind at all.
  • Magical Homeless Person: With Gravesfield completely destroyed and being a wanted domestic terrorist in the Human World, Luz spends the next 3 days sleeping on streets on Bonesborough in the Demon World with nothing but the clothes on her back, until Eda allows to stay in the Owl House.
  • Magikarp Power: Initially, she could only hold up to 10 Quirks before her body suffers from Quirk Overload. With an exercise regiment and awakening her Quirk can hold and more powers.
  • Major Injury Underreaction: Thanks to her Pain Nullification, Luz has a ridiculously high pain threshold, and barely reacts to potentially crippling injuries while her Super Regeneration fixes her body back up.
  • Meaningful Name: Luz Noceda can mean "The Light/ Purity of The Strong." Pre-Death Camp, she was still a pure child who shined in the darkness thanks to her light-hearted personality, and well-meaning actions to her friends and mother.
  • Meaningful Rename: When she arrives on Boiling Isles, Luz Noceda takes up the name Toshiko Shigaraki on All For One's suggestion, meaning "Clever Child of Death" due to the latter seeing her as a Child Prodigy with his power and has racked up a rather large body count and lost many people she loved. The surname is also All For One's as he's her mentor and the only "family" she has left now that her mother is dead. She also has lost that "purity" her original name is based on due to the events of The Death Camp, and as her life continues, it only gets worse from there.
  • Mechanically Unusual Fighter: In a world where people are limited to using having one Quirk, Luz can use several Quirks at a time, both individually and simultaneously.
  • Messiah Archetype: Julia and the Pastor compare Luz to this, with her Power Palms feeding into this, as they give her the appearance of a stigmata. Her enemies with Fantastic Racism views, on the other hand, see her as a Dark Messiah due to her being a Person of Mass Destruction with a body count.
  • Mirthless Laughter: Luz gives a nervous chuckle as she tried to stop a fight breaking out between a heat-stressed Ronny and Judy.
  • Mistaken for Related: Many inhabitants of the Boiling Isles assume that she's All For One's kid due to having the same white hair, red eyes and Power Parasite Quirk. Its a bit more complicated than that.
  • Morality Pet: She's starting to become this to All For One.
  • More Powered Protégé: Unlike Shigaraki, Luz was able to awaken her All For One power which not only allows her to hold more Quirks, but also steal magic and awaken the Quirks she steals too. This convinces her Evil Mentor that she's not only a Superior Successor to him but a better candidate to pull a Grand Theft Me on than Tomura.
  • Motor Mouth: Luz becomes this when happily greeting Riley.
  • Moving Angst: Averted. Rather than be against the idea, Luz appears to be somewhat glad to making a fresh start in a new house. Though she admits she's rather sad as she had fond memories of of her old house but is scarred that she wants to forget the past and move on. It does help that the new house wasn’t that much different from the old one.
  • Murder Is the Best Solution: Luz tells Camila she's going to kill the Wittebanes in order to end this madness.
  • Muscles Are Meaningless: Her Super-Strength Quirk don't affect her appearance, as she can overpower the 10 ft. tall Jonah, despite her unintimidating teen girl build.
  • My God, What Have I Done?:
    • Luz begins to feel this after seeing all the pained vestiges of the people she killed in chapter 13, only for Shigaraki to talk her out of it.
    • After she calms herself down after the intense fight in chapter 18, Luz has this moment when she finally registers the death and destruction she has caused in the space of a few minutes since the first gunman showed up in a fit of rage.
    • Luz has this reaction when she believes she just tricked into killing her mother with her Forcefield Cannon and falls into a Heroic BSoD. Unbeknownst to her, Camila was Dead All Along.
    • She also has this reaction when she realises that her destructive fight with the Wittebane assassins has resulted in the deaths of many innocent civilians caught in the crossfire.
    Luz looked down at the road below, where all the carnage had taken place. It looked like a warzone. The blood, the fires, the destruction, and the bodies that lined the floor. She only realized now that the fighting had killed more than just Sophia, her mother, Jonah and Charlie. There were more than over a dozen bodies, and it made Luz’s stomach knot.
  • Mystical White Hair: The color of Luz's awakened hair is rather significant as its now the same color as All For One's, her predecessor, and can now steal magic.
  • Mythology Gag:
    • Luz's final move in chapter 12 is very similar to the attack All For One used on All Might in their Final Battle in Kamino Ward, albeit not as powerful. Unlike Shigaraki, this proves successful in killing her target.
    • After pushing her body past its limits from "Quirk Overload", Luz's body starts to break down, leaving her with a huge gash across her chest much like Tomura in the anime did after due to him prematurely awakening from his medical procedure.
    • In chapter 14, Luz gains a scar over eye from her "Quirk Overload" earlier, much like she got from her fight with Belos in the finale of Season 2.
    • Luz's "Flamethrower" Quirk turns blue after her awakening, much like Dabi's.
  • Neck Lift: Luz does this to the first gunman after recovering from her gunshot wounds in the supermarket.
  • Never Be Hurt Again: Its noted by her counsellor that Luz never tried to make any new friends after losing 6 of them at the Death Camp.
  • Never Hurt an Innocent: Luz is now fine with killing her enemies when forced to do so. But the blood of the innocent spilled by her unintentionally or otherwise? Not so much.
  • Never My Fault: Averted. After she punches the Golden Guard in the face and chews him out for destroying her home, Luz acknowledges her role in the tragedy and states she has no reason to fight him anymore. She decides to leave him him be and fly off.
  • Next Tier Power-Up: She gets this during her fight against the Golden Guard when she goes through a Quirk Awakening that not only increases the the number of Quirks her body can hold but also power-ups the stolen Quirks that came with it.
  • Nice Job Breaking It, Hero: Her various, destructive fights with the Wittebane assassins results deaths in a lot of innocent civilians caught in the crossfire, ultimately leading to annihilation of Gravesfield. She doesn't take it well.
  • No One Should Survive That!: One of the doctors stated that, by all accounts, Luz should be dead after being ripped in half, including her heart. He chalks it up due to her miracle Healing Factor.
  • No-Nonsense Nemesis: An Anti-Hero example. Luz prefers to win fights as quickly as possible, going for the kill when seeing her chance to do so, as well as stealing their Quirk.
  • No-Sell:
    • In chapter 14, Amber, her former bully, tries shove Luz only for her stand in place thanks to her Super-Strength and Super-Toughness.
    • Thanks to her Shock Absorption, Luz is able to effortless tank Jonah's punches before she kills him.
  • No Social Skills:
    • Luz more than a few times thinks out loud things that could be seen as inappropriate to someone you just met. She notes that most people get mad at her in the past for blurting stuff like that out. Luckily, Julia is not one of those people.
    • She also mentally notes it was rude for her to not introduce herself to someone before asking that "Are you rich?" question to her, showing she's self-aware.
  • No Sympathy: Downplayed. While Luz does have brief moments of These Hands Have Killed, she's quick to remind herself that the people she killed were Asshole Victims tried to murder her first so it wasn't as if they didn't deserve it.
  • Not Brainwashed: Luz is a lot more violent person now as a coping mechanism for her PTSD, and according to her, Shigaraki wasn't to blame as they hadn't spoken to each other in the month time gap.
  • Not Evil, Just Misunderstood: Luz laments that she's not a heartless monster the media betrays her to be. If anything, she was a troubled teenager with mountains of trauma. Trauma that was caused by the Antagonistic Governor.
  • "Not So Different" Remark: When fighting King, Toshiko mentally notes that she's just as excited as he is to find a Worthy Opponent to test out their powers to the limits: Her Combo Platter Powers and his growing Titan abilities. They agree to become sparring partners together.
  • Not Quite Dead:
    • Everyone assumes Luz been put down for good after being blown up by Riley, she just simply pulls herself back together with her improved Healing Factor faster than the cops can shoot at her.
    Luz should have died. By all rights, Luz’s life should have ended right then and there. But Shigaraki knew better. He had come back from worse before, and so he knew how this was going to go. Because… Luz. Didn’t. Die.
    • As Hunter returns to the Boiling Isles, he believes he had killed Luz, until he suddenly vomits Ominous Obsidian Ooze from which Luz crawls out of the small puddle of the goo. With her "Warping"" Quirk has been boosted too, it allowed her to escape his Finishing Move just in time.
  • "Not So Different" Remark: When fighting King, she mentally notes that he's just as excited as he is to find a Worthy Opponent to test out their powers to the limits.
  • Not So Similar: When a new assassin starts a fight with Luz by firing a attacks at the squad of cops but Luz intercepts it with her Forcefield Projection. Despite being seen as the bad guy by her own town, Luz doesn't want to become like Shigaraki.
    She wasn’t a monster. She wasn’t a villain. She wasn’t going to be like him.
  • Oh, Crap!:
    • In chapter 11, Luz has this reaction when she notices a giant plume of smoke in the direction of her Home Base wehere the rest of her team is.
    • When Luz spots a small, terrified crowd of mostly teens and their parents, that includes her own horrified mother, with some that had witnessed and filmed her carnage on their phones. The All For One user rightfully has this reaction for a moment, now that people know Luz Noceda is a Cop Killer.
  • Off with Her Head!: When Luz was blown up by Riley, she could see her torso across the parking lot, all but confirming this.
  • One-Man Army: Luz had the potential to kill many people back in the Death Camp in her Roaring Rampage of Revenge while stealing their Quirks to empower herself.
  • O.O.C. Is Serious Business:
    • Luz realises that Shigaraki might not be lying about the Addictive Magic her Quirk causes, when she talks usually cold to Julia and become irritable.
    • Luz coldly notes they could leave Cody to die via running into a wild animal. Blinking, she does a Verbal Backspace to just tying him up instead. Its heavily implied to be due to All For One's influence.
  • Otaku: One thing that hasn't changed about Luz, is that she makes loves making Anime Music Videos (AMVs) and reading manga. This gives a brief Commonality Connection with Shigaraki.
  • Out-of-Character Alert: Kennedy is the first to notice there was something… off about The Leader of The Alpha Squadron Gaining the Will to Kill. He didn’t know what, and he did not want to find out.
  • Out of the Inferno: In chapter 27, Toshiko comes out of the create with hot blue fire she summoned while brushing herself of dust no worse for wear with a smirk on her face, much to the the young Titan's shock.
  • Overdrawn at the Blood Bank: It disturbed Luz just how that much blood had come out of her body from her Quirk Overload. What's more, was that she still managed to survive after the fact.
  • Pay Evil unto Evil: With Shigaraki's encouragement, Luz avenges her murdered teammates' deaths, including her first friend Julia, by brutally slaughtering their killers. Afterwards, she's quite troubled by her lack of remorse for killing twenty people. A dark, twisted side of her tells her that was a fair trade. She now plans to do this to the Wittebanes.
  • Patience Plot: Downplayed. Luz spends a portion of the chapter waiting for her friends' killers to come back to the scene of the crime to avenge their deaths.
  • Pet the Dog:
    • Despite part of her wanting to blame Stanley for the slaughter of their friends, Luz can't find it in herself to do that and instead tells Stanley its Kennedy and his team that are responsible, not him.
    • In a brief moment of lucidity, Luz let's Emilia live, believing that there's no blood on her hands.
    • She also to save some innocent bystanders and cops from dying in her battles with the assassins.
    • Luz's (or shall we say Toshiko's) first meeting with Amity is this. She saw a girl falling to the ground after bumping into her and she used her (Vines) Quirk on her because she didn't want to see Amity fall, and then she wished her a good day. Even after everything she's been through, Luz still hasn't lost her heart.
    • Rather than let him die for trying to attack her, she uses her new Healing Hands aspect of her Quirk to save Willow's dad as she doesn't want the girl to be fatherless.
    Toshiko: I’m not a monster. I would never take away a father from their daughter.
  • Person of Mass Destruction: Luz can destroy a whole building with an massive explosion caused by one of her Deadly Force Field. Later she can level an entire street with her new Quirks that have been awakened.
  • Persona Non Grata: The local Police Chief has been making Luz's life more unbearable by making her this in the local facilities in Gravesfield. He has bribed store owners, gyms, day-cares, libraries, restaurants, and even the schools (including online ones) to ban her from their shops spreading rumours that she was a crazy murderer that pulled a Karma Houdini after the Death Camp incident.
  • Personality Powers: At first glance, Luz Noceda having a Power Parasite ability doesn't seem to fit her, having a completely different personality to the previous user. All For One speculates that the reason Luz received this Quirk was, instead of Greed, due to her subconscious desire to take power away from those who had power over her and made her feel small, weak, and powerless.
  • Physical God: The two panicking hitwomen in the supermarket compare Luz to this and All For One encourages her to become one.
  • Pint-Sized Powerhouse: Jonah calls Luz a shorty, yet she's a very powerful superhuman.
  • Please Put Some Clothes On: The first thing Eda does before she let's Toshiko in her house is to magic up a dress for her wear because her Censor Steam flames wasn't cutting it for the old witch.
  • Plucky Girl: She was this before the Death Camp incident.
  • Pom-Pom Girl: Luz mentions to Julia on the bus that she did try out for being a cheerleader at her high school. It… didn't work out.
  • Power Echoes: Sometimes Luz gains Voice of the Legion becomes this when using her Quirk and losing her self-restraint in a fight.
  • Power High: Luz admits she gets this when she steals a Quirk with All For One, which explains why she has a Psychotic Smirk and tends to go Ax-Crazy whenever she does it.
    Power surged through her, just like the last time when she stole Cody’s power. But she didn’t stop there, oh no. She went around to every corpse in the base and took their powers.
  • The Power of Hate:
    • Shigaraki encourages Luz to channel this to kill her teammate's murderers. She also channels this when Riley betrays her.
    • Shigaraki invokes this to Luz to use this after witnessing her mother get blown up, who laments that hate and revenge are all she has left now that her mother is dead.
    This anger… This despair… this hatred she felt. She would never let it go.
  • Pragmatic Hero: Luz not only knocks out an innocent girl to steal her clothes but steals her Quirk to give herself a better chance to take Sophia and end the chaotic fight between them.
  • Prematurely Grey-Haired: Luz's hair starts to turn white like Shigaraki's due to the constant stress, use of her Quirk and PTSD from the Deadly Game she survived. By the end of chapter 17, her hair turns half white, half brown. By Chapter 23, its turned completely white when she has a "Quirk Awakening".
  • Pre-Mortem One-Liner:
    • Luz gives this to the alliance in chapter 12.
    Luz: (Red Eyes, Take Warning) I have no sympathy for cruel, heartless monsters such as yourselves. (Power Echoes) The moment you came here and needlessly slaughtered my friends… Your powers…. Your lives… they became forfeit.
    • Luz delivers an epic one to Jonah (below is translated into from Spanish to English) before the monster meets his end with Luz's Finishing Stomp on his head before he has chance to avoid it, crushing his skull. She avenged her mother's demise just like Camila believed she would.
    Luz: You can run away. You can hide. You can call the authorities all you want. But nothing less than God himself will stop me from finding you and making you pay for your crimes. And in this godless world, that God is me.

  • The Promise: Luz remembers the one she gave to herself and Pastor Domenico to avenge Julia's death and protect her community from threats.
  • Psychotic Smirk: She tends to give small, malice-filled grins when getting a Power High from stealing a Quirk or under the influence of All For One. Its quite unnerving.
  • Pulling Themselves Together: After being blown to pieces by her cousin Riley, Luz does this with a combination of her Healing Factor and recently acquired Multi-Armed and Dangerous power, much to the shock and horror of all the enemies that have witnessed the scene. Its described as something close to a Lovecraftian Superpower.
  • Punched Across the Room: This happens to Luz more than once by her enemies.
  • Purple Is Powerful: Luz is a powerful superhuman and at one point steals a purple hoodie.
  • Pyrrhic Victory: In chapter 12, Luz is able to kill the 20 superhuman teens that murdered her camper friends but suffers a Heroic RRoD after stealing too many of their Quirks.

  • Rage Breaking Point:
    • In chapter 8, Luz hits her's at Shigaraki after being dragged back to the Vestige World again against her will, causing her to lose her temper with him. Its noted that making Luz, of all people, angry was a very hard thing to do. However, Shigaraki being The Sociopath had a natural talent for doing so and regards her outburst with only mild annoyance, which only makes her more angry with him.
    • In chapter 11, Luz reaches hers after she discovers the brutal deaths of her teammates, including her First Friend, Julia Wittebane.
    • In chapter 17, she gives into her rage again after her cousin Riley tried to assassinate her.
  • Randomly Gifted: As one of the first people in her world to gain a Quirk, Luz is this by necessity. It is especially notable as she has arguably the greatest Quirk to ever exist, able to take, use and give any superpower that she wants at will.
  • Rapid-Fire "No!": She says this when she's tricked into believing she accidently killed her own mother.
  • Razor-Sharp Hand: She can kill her enemies just by running her fist straight through their hearts, though that's more due to her Super-Strength Quirk than anything else, and leaves messy holes as she gores them in the chest area.
  • Red and Black and Evil All Over: Subverted. Black and red lightning sparks from Luz's hands when she steals a Quirk but she's still a Nice Girl.
  • Red Eyes, Take Warning: Luz gains these when taking a Quirk or going on a Roaring Rampage of Revenge. They become permanently crimson red in Chapter 21.
  • Redeeming Replacement: It seems Luz has taken the "All For One" as this when becoming a vigilante.
  • Rejected Apology:
    • When girl called Natasha tries to apologise to Luz for not defending her from her bullies out of peer pressure when they tried to be friends, Luz rejects it saying its not wanted or needed.
    • When her cousin Riley tries to apologise for trying to kill her and explain why she did, Luz is having none it. She blames Riley for the carnage that transpire today, including her mother's murder, steals her Quirk and proceeds to kill her with it.
    Riley: Luz… I… I know y-you’re probably very, very mad at me… but you have to understand that I w-wasn’t given a choice
    Luz: Shut up. This is your fault… all of this. Everything that happened today… It was all on you. So do me a favour, and die.
  • Reports of My Death Were Greatly Exaggerated: Riley explained to Luz that Camila posted Facebook when her daughter was in the hospital and were in for emergency surgery updating her status. After she stopped updating her page, Riley and her immediate family all assumed the worst had happened to the girl.
  • Required Secondary Powers: Whenever Luz gets severely injured a fight and activates her "Super Regeneration" Quirk, she also activates her "Pain Nullification" Quirk, as well. This is so that she doesn't succumb to the crippling pain as her body heals and she can keep on fighting.
  • Revenge Before Reason: Part of herself realises she could stop her rampage and try escape the Death Camp with all her new Quirks. Instead Luz carries on with her Mook Horror Show until all but one is dead and she suffers a Heroic RRoD, nearly killing her.
  • Revenge is Sweet: Luz is hoping this will be the case when killing the Wittebanes.
  • Roaring Rampage of Revenge:
    • The Massacre of Fools was pretty much Luz doing this.
    • The entire first half of chapter 18 is Luz on this. The “fight” was mostly her lashing out in a rage after being betrayed by someone she considered family. She mentions she was barely even coherent during the entire brawl.
  • Robbing the Dead: Luz feels some regret for taking the Quirks from her recently deceased friends with her Power Parasite ability, but she rationalizes it with the idea of needing their powers, especially since she plans to get revenge for them all.
  • Rule of Symbolism: Luz's hair turning completely white is when she reaches "Quirk Awakening" and her Mental World transforms from a dark void into a throne room.
  • The Runaway: In chapter 19, Camila is under no illusion that Luz going to be coming back home, not because she'd disown her but because the town of Gravesfield won't let her and now a wanted criminal.

    S-Z 
  • Sadist: Averted. She has never been one to enjoy killing someone, aside from the one time she was possessed by the All For One Quirk.
  • Sanity Slippage: If it couldn't be any clearer, poor Luz is definitely going insane due to everything happening.
  • Scars Are Forever: After imploding from having too many Quirks, Luz gains a minor scar over her eye and larger lightning-shaped scar across her torso that even her Healing Factor can't get rid of.
  • The Scream: Played for Drama. Furious that her traitorous cousin has escaped, Luz lets out an angry one as she slams her giant fist on the ground leaving another giant crater.
  • Screw This, I'm Outta Here: At one point in chapter 20, Luz tries to retreat... giving Sophia the opening she was waiting her as Luz takes full blast of what appears to be the killing blow... But once again she survives and is forced to get back into the fight.
  • Secret Identity: Luz changing her name was partly because the Wittebanes are residing here in Boiling Isles will likely turn the populous against her.
  • Secret Identity Vocal Shift: Luz uses her voice changer to hide her vigilante identity.
  • Self-Made Orphan: Averted. Jonah tricks Luz into destroying her mother's corpse with her Forcefield Cannon, making her believe she just accidently killed her mother, completely unaware she was Dead All Along.
  • Serial Killer: Sheriff Johnson views Luz as this for her role in The Massacre of Fools. Subverted as she technically doesn't fit the profile.
  • Shadow of Impending Doom: Going after her foe, she activates Multiplier sprouting 25 arms from her back. Only now they're the size and width of buses, eclipsing the portion of the sky that Luz took up, covering the street below in shadow. This gives the Golden Guard a pause mid-attack.
  • She-Fu: Luz mentally notes in chapter 11 that she's thankful to her mother for making her take gymnastics from when she was seven to eleven-years old.
  • Shell-Shocked Veteran: Luz is this after her dreadful experience at the Death Camp set up by The Governor, with diagnosed PTSD by The Shrink. Sometimes when the girl looks at her hands she sees a hallucination of blood coating it and dripping to the ground. A reminder of the blood that stained her hands, the pain and death she brought all those months ago at the death camp, even though she barely recalls killing the others. She comments she's sometimes Hearing Voices of her victims blaming her for their deaths whenever she's in a forest.
  • Shout-Out:
  • Sir Swears-a-Lot: Luz in the story is noticeably more prone to use profanity than she is in the show. Considering all the crap she goes through, it's hard to blame her.
  • Slasher Smile: Luz does this during her Roaring Rampage of Revenge when killing the others teams.
  • Slowly Slipping Into Evil:
    • When she has a dark thought about wanting to to kill the Governor with a Psychotic Smirk, Luz fears that her power is going to corrupt her into some evil tyrant.
    • When looking at her reflection in chapter 27, Toshiko comments she looks more like her Evil Mentor now without concern, even referring to her as sensei, like Tomura. She's been groomed thoroughly that she doesn't mind looking like someone that she views as a monster.
  • Smarter Than You Look: At first, Luz seems to be a geeky airhead with No Social Skills, but she has proven herself time and again to be quite intelligent. Not only is she an abstract thinker and planner, but she can also outsmart her enemies with her various Quirks without Shigaraki's guidance.
  • Smug Super: Luz seems to be showing some shades of this mentality.
  • Soul Jar: All For One's ultimate plan for her once she gets to the Mutant Realm.
  • Standard Bleeding Spots: Luz gains a small line of blood streaming down her left temple after being Punched Across the Room in chapter 17.
  • Starting a New Life: Toshiko is hoping for a fresh start in the Boiling Isles as she can never go back to the Human Realm nor is there anything left for her there now.
  • Strange Minds Think Alike: Shigaraki requests Luz to steal the "Multiplier" Quirk, the teen let's him know she already going to do that.
  • Story-Breaker Power: Shigaraki certainly thinks so, and he's not wrong. The All For One Quirk is extremely powerful and advantageous. It allows Luz to steal all kinds of Quirks, and easily De-power entire crowds of Quirk users.Wityh her many powers, Luz can defeat many enemies, Quirk or no Quirk, with absurd ease. The only Quirk that is immune to this power is One For All, something Shigaraki hopes Luz can bypass.
  • Sucky School: Luz sees her middle school as this, or rather her fellow students made it that way for her.
  • Suddenly Shouting: Luz does this as the Golden Guard tells her to give up as she achieves Quirk Awakening.
    Luz: You… Do not… TELL ME WHAT TO DO!
  • Super-Persistent Predator: Luz was prepared to wait for over 48 hours with little sleep in-between and forgoing food and water for her friends' killers to return to the scene of the crime.
  • Super Special Move: After her "Awakening", all of Luz's offensive powers are this.
  • Superior Successor: Shigaraki considers Luz to be not only is she a worthy successor, but a far superior user of All For One because her mind isn't worn away by the Quirk vestiges and more importantly awakened the All For One Quirk in a few month, something Shigaraki couldn't achieve in his 150-year long lifespan.
  • Superpower Lottery: All For One can steal Quirks from others, dead or alive, and wield them as their own. Luz can also combine the Quirks she has for stronger attacks. She can also give the Quirks to others. As Shigaraki explains, in a world where Everyone Is a Super, the one who can steal powers and give them to other people is the king.
  • Surpassed the Teacher: All For One considers Luz to be this, after she awakens her Quirk. Its something he failed to do in his 150-year long life.
  • Survivor Guilt: Luz has shades of this after living through The Massacre of Fools. Especially since she killed most of them. Luz still has nightmares about failing to save Julia.
  • Talking to Themself: Luz does during her Roaring Rampage of Revenge: A moral, rational side and an angry, vengeful side. The latter wins out in the end.
    Rational!Luz: Look at what you’re doing!? You’re killing people! T-This isn’t right! N-None of this is right!
    Angry!Luz: Who cares if it’s wrong! I know exactly what I am doing, and that’s giving these monsters a taste of their own medicine!
    Rational!Luz: B-But… their families, w-what about-
    Angry!Luz: They should’ve thought about that when they killed our friends. When they killed Julia. When they butchered everyone else.
    Rational!Luz: That still doesn’t make it right!
    Angry!Luz: It makes it right to us, they were willing to kill us. And besides, we said that this would happen if they did something similar. We’re keeping to the rules we made for our group. Why the sudden change of heart?
    Rational!Luz: Two wrongs don’t make a right! Didn’t our mother tell us that!?
    Angry!Luz: I don’t give a shit what that bitch taught us. She spat in our faces, betrayed us, kicked us to the curb and left for us to fend for ourselves in this hell hole! NOW BE QUIET!
  • Tank-Top Tomboy: Luz is this when exercising and sleeping.
  • Teen Genius: All For One sincerely considers Luz to be this with her Quirk as the vestiges could not degrade her mind as tried to do with him, due to not seeing them as human.
  • Terrifying Rescuer: After taking out the two bank robbers, the kidnapped redhead girl begins begging to Luz on her knees for her life, as her presence more sinister than the criminals. Luckily, for her Luz believes her when she explains she was brought along the heist against her will and leaves her in peace.
  • Terror Hero: Luz aims to be this: A Symbol of Justice and Fear.
  • That Man Is Dead: She has come to the conclusion that Luz Noceda died along with and her friends at summer camp and takes the name All For One suggests after arriving in the Boiling Isles: Toshiko Shigaraki.
    In truth, she always knew, in the back of her mind that when she saw all of those whom she called friends dead, she too died that day. Luz Noceda had died, and in her place was Toshiko Shigaraki. A girl who had nothing but hate for those who killed her friends. Oh, sure, she paraded around the name Luz, but she hadn’t truly been Luz. She was just… taking her place, so to speak. Luz had died the day everyone else had. Toshiko merely wore her skin and stole her name. But now, she didn’t need that. She didn’t need her name anymore. She was in a different world, meaning she had no longer had to hang onto the past.
  • There Are No Therapists: Averted. Luz has been seeing one due to her PTSD from her Death Camp experience in Arc 4.
  • There's No Kill like Overkill: Luz's Finishing Move on Kennedy can be considered this.
  • These Hands Have Killed: Played With. Luz is quite troubled by her lack of remorse for killing twenty people. She does feel that she's no better than the person who put them the Death Camp.
  • This Is Unforgivable!:
    • As far as Luz was concerned, everything that Shigaraki did in his life as a villain is this.
    • Luz also heartbreakingly considers her mother sending her to Reality Check Camp in order to convert her into a "normal" person to be this. No matter how she sliced it or diced it, that was something that only someone who hated a part of that person would do, even if peer pressure was involved. Luckily for Camila, Luz has forgiven her for it.
    • Luz sees the slaughter of half her team as this.
    She was angry—no, she was beyond that. She was livid. Someone was to blame for this, she knew that much.
    • Luz and Pastor Domenico see Julia's parents sending their daughter the Death Camp to die as this.
    They betrayed Julia… they did that because of her feelings… they left her alone…. They kicked her out and signed her up for that camp while knowing everything.
  • Thou Shall Not Kill: Luz tries to abide by this in the Death Camp until she's rescued. She discards this after at the end of chapter 11.
  • Tomboy: Luz is not much of a girly girl, and always preferred suits more to dresses, which is what she wears to Julia's funeral. Camila remarks she's always been this.
  • Took a Level in Badass:
    • Originally, Luz could only safely hold 10 Quirks at a time before it started damaging her body. In chapter 17, All For One informs her that she now holds up to 15 after training her body up.
    • In chapter 23, Luz goes through a Quirk Awakening that not only allows her to hold more powers up to 30 Quirks but enhances them, too.
    Rikitasu Shigaraki: And it not just All For One, but as a result, every Quirk stored within from now until forever has been Awakened! This is the very thing I wanted, but could never do! It is all thanks to you, Luz Noceda!
  • Took a Level in Cynic: Even early than canon before reaching The Boiling Isles. She became closed off towards people outside of her family after the events of the Death Camp. Camila notes Luz had become jaded and extremely pessimistic after everything that's happened in the past month.
  • Took a Level in Jerkass:
    • She has become more aggressive, violent, and abrasive to those that try to harm her, Camila and the innocent. Luz acknowledges that the Death Camp experience gave her a mean streak. She certainly doesn't feel strongly about Thou Shall Not Kill anymore.
    • Luz rationalises knocking out an innocent girl and stealing her clothes as needing them more but that definitely was NOT a hero's choice.
  • Torso with a View:
    • Luz receives one of these from Millie the Witch's magic laser beam in chapter 17. Fortunately, it's nothing her Healing Factor can't fix, albeit with some scarring on her stomach.
    • The damage done to her by the black smog had left a sizable hole in Luz's left abdomen that fortunately heals up.
  • Tragic Hero: Poor Luz, she goes through so much crap and her murderous temper doesn't help.
  • Training from Hell: Averted. Luz, taking Shigaraki's advice, has taken up an exercise regiment in a nearby forest to increase the number of Quirks her body can hold at a time and fight off the Addictive Magic urge.
  • Tranquil Fury:
    • Hearing about the Wittebanes' involvement with the Death Camp makes Luz's blood boil but she keeps a calm and collected expression.
    • Luz becomes this when she remarks that she can't even do a simple shopping trip without being harassed by people trying to kill her.
    Luz: (Through barely Suppressed Rage) You know… I just wanted to get some shopping done. Really, that’s it! (Red Eyes, Take Warning) But, it would seem as if I’m not even allowed that.
  • Troubling Unchildlike Behavior: Even before falling under All For One's influence in the Death Camp, Luz sometimes had violent fantasies about getting revenge on her bullies at school. She went as far as to bring a knife with the intention of stabbing Amber, only to change her mind at the last second.
  • Trying Not to Cry:
    • Luz does this when she thinks back on Shigaraki's words not wanting to believe the idea that her mother was glad that she was out of her hair.
    • After discovering the grisly remains of her friends, Luz told herself that she wasn’t going to cry repeatedly, over and over again. But… it didn’t work.
  • Twitchy Eye: Luz gets one of these with a You Have GOT to Be Kidding Me! attitude when someone tries to pull a gun on her in chapter 17.
  • Twinkle in the Eye: Luz's eyes sparkle in awe at Julia's superpower.
  • Unskilled, but Strong: In contrast to Hunter, who trained for years to learn how to master his Quirks, Luz isn't a refined fighter (only having had her first Quirk for a month) and her fighting style basically boils down to "mash together a bunch of powerful Quirks, blast the enemy until they die. That said, the incredibly clever and out-of-the-box ways she can learn to combine stolen Quirks show that this is still a very, very bad thing for most of her enemy Quirk users as they also lack skill and experience too.
  • Unstoppable Rage: Luz gives into her rage after her cousin Riley tried to assassinate her after she was about to surrender to the cops. The end result is she drives Riley and her accomplice to pull a Villain Teleportation, as well as her wiping out an entire squad of Dirty Cops.
  • Unwitting Pawn:
    • Killing and stealing the Quirks of the other teams in a murderous rage was exactly what the governor wanted Luz to do.
    • Justified with All For One. Owing to their relationship and the fact All For One sold his Evil Mentor status as being for Luz's benefit, Luz overestimates the agency she has as All For One's successor, and is completely unaware his Evil Plan to get back home and take over her body.
  • Used to Be a Sweet Kid: Having noticed her once Genki Girl daughter has become more harsher and colder after the Deadly Game, Camila still didn't expect her to openly announce the fact that she was more than fine with committing murder. Camila admits she barely recognises her own child anymore.
  • Vigilante Man: Luz becomes one under the name "All For One" putting her on the cops' radar.
  • Villain Killer: Luz has killed nearly every assassin sent after her by the Wittebanes and stolen their Quirks, making her stronger. She also wiped out the two enemy teams in the Death Camp, sans sparing one Sole Survivor. She also plans to kill Tyler Wittebane personally.
  • Villainous Face Hold: A rare Anti-Hero version, done by Luz to Emilia enquiring on why she should let her live.
  • Vocal Dissonance: During her conversation with Hunter, Luz notices how much colder voice has become since the supermarket fight, like it belonged to a sociopath's.It seems All For One has changed her not just physically but mentally, too. She wants to question this more but has more pressing concerns.
    Had she been talking like that the whole time? She hadn’t noticed, and it had actually shocked her when she heard her voice. It sounded… distant, detached, and downright sociopathic.
  • Voice of the Legion: During chapter 12, Kennedy notices Luz's voice sounds like a sinister mix of two people talking at once: Hers and someone's that sounds, well, not human anymore under All For One's influence.
  • "Well Done, Son" Guy: Luz is genuinely touched and moved to tears when Shigaraki tells her he's proud her for awakening their Quirk.
    Rikitatsu: I’m proud of you. You did the one thing that I could never do in life. And for that, I am thankful.
    Luz: Proud… of me? Mama was the only one to have ever said that to me… and it was only once… When I got an A on a Spanish test in the fifth grade…
  • What Have I Become?: Luz acknowledges she killed 20 kids with her own hands after stealing most of their Quirks but she can't bring herself to feel real remorse at her actions, despite recognising her actions as terrible and trying to feel something. This scares her.
  • What Is This Feeling?: Takes a moment for Luz to realise that what she's now feeling after discovering the massacre of camp friends is a level of rage she's never thought she was capable of.
  • What the Hell, Hero?: Luz punches the Golden Guard in the face, chewing him out for his role in her hometown's destruction before she heads off to explore the Demon Realm.
  • White Hair, Black Heart: Ever since "The Massacre Of Fools", Luz's hair has started to turn white out of stress and using her Quirk but she's more of a ruthless Anti-Hero than a Villain Protagonist.
  • Why Won't You Die?: She has been asked this a few times by the assassins trying to kill her.
  • Wide Eyes and Shrunken Irises: Luz has these when Cody sends a fist-shaped fireball at her.
  • World's Strongest Woman: By the end of chapter 23, she has become this in the Human Realm after awakening her Quirk.
  • Worthy Opponent:
    • Luz considered Derreck the hitman this at the end of their fight, for giving her so much trouble, even equating their battle to something out of a manga, despite never learning his name.
    • She also regards King the Titan as this, agreeing to be his sparring partner to avert their Unskilled, but Strong status together.
  • Wrong Genre Savvy: When the Mass Super-Empowering Event occurred, Luz thought it was a dream come true. In later chapters, she discovers she's in a dark Deconstruction Fic.
  • Yank the Dog's Chain: Because of the strange anomalies caused by the Mass Super-Empowering Event, Luz entertains the idea that the Reality Check Summer Camp going from being delayed to being cancelled, due to what was going on. Camila tells her its just being delayed until tomorrow and she already paid the $250.00 for her admission.
    Luz: 1 point for dull and crappy camp. 0 points to Luz Noceda…. Crap.
  • You Can't Go Home Again: Not without being put in prison for life or killed on sight for killing cops, Luz.
  • You Have GOT to Be Kidding Me!:
    • Luz seems to have this attitude to fighting yet another superpowered assassin after dealing with the last one in Season 2.
    Luz: I swear to God… If that’s another assassin, I’m going to lose my mind!
    • Luz has this reaction the Golden Guard is able to avoid all his attacks with just one of his Quirks.
    Luz: ARE YOU KIDDING ME!? SHIGARAKI! YOU DIDN’T TELL ME I WAS FIGHTING A KIZARU KNOCK-OFF!!!
  • You Have No Idea Who You're Dealing With: She all but says this to many of her enemies in the Human Realm that try to pick a fight with her.
  • You Kill It, You Bought It: Not long after Luz kills a superhuman, she steals their Quirk, too.
  • You Monster!:
    • Luz sees All For One as this through and through, and there was nothing he could say, do, or change about himself in his vestige form to make her think otherwise.
    • A lot of people in Gravesfield has this opinion on Luz the mass killer, especially the sheriff.
  • You Remind Me of X:
    • When Luz calls their Power Parasite Quirk evil and wrong, All For One muses she sounds just like his younger brother, the first One For All user. Later when Luz breaks down crying into his chest from her trauma, the situation reminds him of when his late brother Yoichi, did this when they were kids.
    • Luz's mannerisms and overall behaviour reminds Stanley of his sister, Marie, back home. Because of this he vowed he was going to do everything in his power to make sure she was safe.
    • When Eda first lays eyes on Luz, she remarks that she reminded her of someone she wished she never knew, the original All For One due to the similar hair and eye color and wants to keep an eye on her. Gilbert Park and King agree with this. When King first looks at Toshiko, he angrily says she reminds him of All For One, the villain that attacked his homeland and fractured his face and broke one of his horns. Toshiko’s disinterested demeanor doesn't help, only acknowledging the fact, prompting the much larger magical beast to threaten to take his anger out on her if she doesn't leave him alone.
  • Your Approval Fills Me with Shame: Luz initially is unable to feel remorse for killing the 20 kids that tried to murder her first until Shigaraki hums in approval of her actions.

    Current Quirks 
  • Absurdly Sharp Claws: The "Spear Fingers" Transformation-Class Quirk, originally belonging to Darlene from Heaven's Devils, allows Luz to turn her fingers sharp and pointed like spears, and fire them toward people like extendable pole-arms from a distance of 25 meters.
    • Impaled with Extreme Prejudice: She killed more than a few of her victims this way.
    • Mundane Utility: Deadly this power maybe, Luz has ben shown using them as them makeshift forks when eating just as well.
    • Weak to Fire: However, they melt easily in fire.
    • Wolverine Claws: Following her "Quirk Awakening", the fingers spears turn into actual lance blades and can bend. These spears are omnidirectional and heat-seeking. They can go for up to 5 miles ahead of Luz. They can pierce through tungsten steel (a metal denser than the Earth’s Crust) like its butter.
  • Barrier Warrior: The Emitter-Class Quirk "Forcefield Projection" allows Luz to create a golden, circular, near-invincible forcefield in front and/or back of her from her hand that can withstand almost any kind of attack. However, it can only protect the user in one direction. Multiple powerful blows will slowly chip away at its absorption, like most absorbing Quirks.
  • Feel No Pain: "Pain Nullification" is an Emitter-Class Quirk that allows Luz to completely nullify any and all pain of any kind. It's used as a Required Secondary Powers alongside her Healing Factor and Super-Toughness. So far only Riley, Sophia, Jonah's and Hunter's Quirks have been able to bypass this. This is buffed when her Quirk is "Awakened" in her fight with Hunter.
  • Gravity Master: This Emitter-Class Quirk "Zero Gravity" originally belonged to a girl by the name of Juniper, someone who was caught in the crossfire during the battle between Luz and a Wittebane assassin. This Quirk allows Luz the ability to remove the gravity of anything (be it an object, person, or animal) that Luz comes into physical contact with using the pads on her fingertips. This Quirk is an exact replica of Ochako Uraraka's Zero Gravity from My Hero Academia. With her "Quirk Awakening", she can spread this infinitely by flexing her muscles, and there's no longer a weight limit.
    • Lethal Harmless Powers: This Quirk generally isn't combat-oriented but Luz is creative enough to splatter people with multi-ton pieces of debris.
    • Not Quite Flight: She can use this Quirk on herself to achieve this. When used alongside Airwalk, she can float herself with barely any repercussions.
    • Power Floats: Through her Zero Gravity Quirk, Luz can make anything solid float in mid-air as long as they are within the weight limit of her Quirk, which is around 3 tons. She can get around this limit by using it in conjunction with Super-Strength.
    • Purple Is Powerful: When using her "Zero Gravity" Quirk, the objects that float are covered in a purple aura which she uses with devastating effect.
  • Having a Blast: The "Bomb Touch" Emitter-Class Quirk originally belonged to Riley Stewardson, Luz's older cousin and an assassin for The Wittebane Mega Church. The Quirk allows Luz to blow up anyone from the inside out, so long as she comes into physical contact with them. Otherwise, it won't work.
    • No Body Left Behind: After her "Quirk Awakening", the "bomb" will destroy them at an atomic-level, leaving nothing but smoke. However, the bomb’s power still relies on the anger that Luz is feeling at that moment. This anger can be directionless, but if Luz is specifically angry at the person the bomb is attached to, then it'll be extremely effective.
    • The Power of Hate: This Quirk only works so long as she feels a deep hatred for them. Otherwise, it is completely useless. This is no longer a problem after her "Quirk Awakening".
    • Why Am I Ticking?: The Quirk also works on people, although the victim doesn't really tend to have time to notice that they're ticking.
  • Healing Factor: The "Super Regeneration" Transformation-Class Quirk that allows Luz to recover from life-threatening wounds, up to and including missing limbs, organs, bones, muscles, and skin. The process is quite painful though, and often leaves scars, but nothing too damaging. It's only because of this power that allows Luz to survive normally fatal injuries, such as the blow back from too many Quirks. Shigaraki implores her to keep it no matter what.
  • Long-Lived: The "Longevity" Mutant-Class Quirk triples Luz's lifespan. For example, if Luz’s lifespan is 89 years, then with this Quirk, her lifespan jumps to 267 years. Shigaraki tells Luz this is a must-have power.
    • Immortality Begins at Twenty: Physically, she’ll stop aging at what she’d appear at 25 years old, and her brain won't degrade after fully growing into its own, effectively making Luz immortal until she expires.
    • Older Than They Look: This will eventually happen to Luz thanks to this Quirk. For example, when she reaches her mid-20s, she will still look as if she's 16 years old, and when she's in her mid-40s, she'll like she's in her early 20s, and so on, until she dies.
    • Really 700 Years Old: It gets buffed more after her "Quirk Awakening" as her lifespan has been increased by 12 fold. For example, if Luz lives up to 89 years, she will now live up to 1,068 years old. On top of this, her appearance based on their age is slower than the actual age she. Of note, this lifespan can increase further should she take proper care of her body.
  • Multi-Armed and Dangerous: Originally belonging to Derreck, a Wittebane assassin, "Multiplier" is the first Transformation-Class Quirk Luz steals after the Death Camp. It allows her to grow up to 50 arms from her body; including her sides, back and on top of each other. Being a power that Shigaraki had when he was alive, he eggs on Luz to take it before she kills the hitman. With her "Quirk Awakening", she can make up to 100 of them.
    • Chekhov's Skill: Literally minutes after she steals this Quirk, Luz uses it to negate her own demise by using it together with her Healing Factor to do a Pulling Themselves Together move after being blown to bits by her cousin Riley.
    • Giant Hands of Doom: She can also merge the many hands to together into these the size of a bus. After her "Quirk Awakening", she no longer needs to combine them to reach greater sizes.
    • Multiarmed Multitasking: A more offensive variant. These limbs can use other Quirks, so long as they originate from the user's hands, with the only exception being All For One, as it is attached to the original hands of Luz.
  • Not Quite Flight: The Emitter-Class Quirk "Airwalk" gives Luz the ability to float upward infinitely. However, she can't move in any other direction. She can, however, move downward. Propulsion using any other ability (e.g. Zero Gravity) can be used to allow her to move in any direction she wishes. But aside from that, it is only used to scale high surfaces.
  • Playing with Fire: The "Flamethrower" Emitter-Class Quirk originally belonged to a male student that went to Luz's old school. The Quirk allows Luz to conjure crimson red flames from her hands. Its not as versatile as "Flame". After her "Quirk Awakening", she has complete mastery over the flames she can generate. For example, she can shoot out a beam of fire that can get up to 5,730 degrees Celsius.
    • Censor Steam: Or rather "Censor Flames". During her fight with King, she receives so much Clothing Damage that she uses Flamethrower to act as makeshift clothing for until she got some actual clothes.
    • Cold Flames: After her "Quirk Awakening", Toshiko has mastered her flames control to the point her flames don't spread or burn unless she wills it.
    • Fireballs: She can also create fireballs from her hands and fire them, which explode on contact.
    • Required Secondary Powers: Luz is also highly resistant to flames of that 10,340 degrees Fahrenheit or lower. Past that, and the flames will actually be able to burn Luz.
    • Technicolor Fire: The flames that were once orange/red in color before turned bright blue/white to denote how much hotter and more powerful Luz's flames burn after her "Quirk Awakening". Although she can still turn it back to normal color by toning down the heat.
    • Wreathed in Flames: Luz can set her body on fire, allowing flames to practically cover her entire body. Unlike Dabi, she's not harmed by the high temperatures.
  • Power Parasite: All For One allows Luz to give and take Quirks from others, both dead and alive. The process is painful for the person getting the Quirk/energy drained from them.
    • Addictive Magic: All For One claims that Luz's Quirk gives her an inherent addiction to stealing Quirks, so far it doesn't seem to be a very strong urge.
    • All Your Powers Combined: Luz's Quirk combines this with Power Parasite and Super-Empowering. She's able to steal others' Quirks for herself, allowing her to combine several Quirks together.
    • Aura Vision: Luz's power includes the ability to see black strings above the heads of other superhumans that are invisible to others. Touching them causes black and red sparks.
    • Casting a Shadow: Her signature "All For One" manifests as red and black lightning.
    • Instant-Win Condition: When Luz reveals her Power Parasite ability to her entire team, instead of being afraid of her like she thought they'd be, Johnny points out how incredibly useful that's going to be in this Deadly Game and consider her The Ace in the hole for the Alpha Squadron to De-power the other teams if they try to kill them. She often does this when fighting other superhumans, taking their strength away and adding it to her own mighty arsenal.
    • Mana Drain: Now that it is "Awakened", All For One can also steal Magic from witches and demons, as they're genetically very similar to Quirks. As a result, any magic that All For One steals will be transformed into a Quirk for Luz's convenience.
    • Power Palms: As an All For One holder, Luz has small holes in the palms of her hands. It's these that allow her to steal and give Quirks.
    • Powers as Programs: "All For One" can steal the Quirks of others, allowing Luz to either use them herself, or "upload" them into another person.
    • Super-Empowering: Luz has the ability to give away her Quirks and does this a lot after the Death Camp ordeal to reduce the number of Quirks in body to a safe level. After her "Quirk Awakening" any superpower that exists within All For One will be automatically "Awakened" too.
    • Touch of Death: Her ability to steal Quirks is basically this, as it's basically an Instant-Win Condition against an opponent with a Quirk. It can also cause fatal brain damage occasionally.
  • Space Master: The "Limitless" Emitter-Class Quirk originally belonged to Sophia Humbolt of The Wittebane Church, an assassin sent to kill Luz. It allows Luz to create orbs of blue and red energy. Red is a purely offensive move, whereas Blue is mostly a defensive move, as shone off by its original user. Only one can be used at a time. It's primary function is the ability to distort space with these energy balls.
    • Energy Ball: The Quirk attacks take the form of these. Luz can shoot out balls of Red (a miniature ball of destruction capable of destroying multiple large buildings at once), Blue (a miniature Blackhole that can suck up 500 newtons of material before imploding unless Luz wills it to blow up prematurely), and Purple (a massive ball of destruction that can destroy everything in its path for up to 50 miles ahead of Luz, before blowing up in a multi-city spanning explosion, though this depends on how much it sucks up in the process of travelling that 50 miles).
    • Gravity Master: "Blue" orbs attracts matter and "Red" orbs repels it.
    • Non-Indicative Name: Despite her Quirk being called "Limitless", it does, in fact have limits.
    • Shout-Out: This Quirk is essentially part of Gojo's Cursed Technique from Jujutsu Kaisen.
    • Unrealistic Black Hole: Luz's "Blue" attack, because it has properties of a black hole due to it actively sucking in mass like a black hole, as seen with her fights with the assassins.
    • Yin-Yang Bomb: After her "Quirk Awakening", she can create "Purple" by combining the opposing forces of "Blue" and "Red", then Luz can fire a powerful orb of energy that vaporizes everything in its path.
  • Spring Coil: The Transformation-Class Quirk "Springlike Limbs" allows Luz to coil her bones and muscles like springs, giving them heightened resistance to drawback, knock-back, or kickback to any of their attacks. Luz can also launch her limbs outward around 5 feet from her body, and recall them back.
    • Blow You Away: After Luz's "Quirk Awakening", he can even shoot out concentrated air blasts by coiling her arms back and springing out immediately afterward. Winds produced can level a street instantly.
    • In a Single Bound: It can also be used to jump to high altitudes, easily covering small skyscrapers. After Luz's "Quirk Awakening", she can jump up to 250 Miles into the air. (That's as high as The International Space Station!)
  • Super-Strength: Originally belonging to Thomas, this Emitter-Class Quirk gives Luz superhuman levels of strength by 10 fold, relative to her physical body’s strength. Its power will continue to grow as Luz becomes stronger, and has no set limit e.g. body training. She often uses this as a Required Secondary Powers alongside her Absurdly Sharp Claws, Spring Coil or Giant Hands of Doom. After her "Quirk Awakening", her strength is increased by 100 billion fold.
    • Super-Speed: Thanks to her increased leg strength, Luz can move pretty fast.
    • Uninhibited Muscle Power: However, if it over exceeds what her body can handle, it could lead to repercussions to her own body, if the body can't physically handle such a blow, then dishing out this kind of strength might cost Luz a limb or two, so learning to control this unparalleled strength is a must so thatshe doesn't inadvertently hurt herself.
  • Super-Toughness: The "Shock Absorption" Mutant-Class Quirk was originally from Stanley Richardson, this Quirk allows Luz to tank great force without any drawback to her physical body in a single blow. However, it can be worn down by the use of repeated, constant action applied at a constant rate, I.E. Weak to Fire. Her "Quirk Awakening", allows her to tank more force but skin is still breakable.
  • Teleportation with Drawbacks: Luz steals the Emitter-Class Quirk "Warping" from Charlie. While useful it has drawbacks as all quirks do. Warping can only bring people and items to and away from the user, and in the case of the latter, only to people the user knows. It can also cause a severe case of tonsillitis to the user, and the slime produced while using it is noted to stink like hell. However, the user doesn't need to know anyone's exact location to use it.
    • Casting a Shadow: The Quirk is a pool of black liquid that appears from the mouths from those she chooses to teleport.
    • Dimensional Traveler: Following her "Quirk Awakening", this can work through other dimensions, but only with the condition that Luz has seen their face in person, and knows their current location.
    • Ominous Obsidian Ooze: Her Warping Quirk manifests as black slime out of her target's mouth.
    • Power-Up: After Luz's "Quirk Awakening", so long as Luz knows where a specific person is, she can either do one of two things - warp herself to them or them to Luz.
  • Victory by Endurance: The Mutant-Class Quirk "Stamina Negation" allows Luz to negate all Stamina depletion. She can never grow tired but this doesn’t make her The Sleepless.
    • The Sleepless: After her "Quirk Awakening", Luz can go without sleep for up to a month.
    • The Needless: She can go for a month without food or water, too. Luz still needs these things to survive, but she doesn't need them for a long time, much like Gigantomachia's Energy Saver.
  • Vine Tentacles: "Vines" originated from Julia Wittebane and the first Emitter-Class Quirk Luz takes (from a willing donor). It sprouts thorny vines from the base of Luz's fingers and are strong enough to lift a ton in weight. After the Death Camp, Luz later gives it to some kid who liked Spider-Man as it reminded her too much of Julia's Cruel and Unusual Death. She later takes it back from boy's corpse in her fight with the Golden Guard.
    • Combat Tentacles: She can conjure green vines to entangle and ensnare people.
    • Green Thumb: After achieving "Quirk Awakening", the vines can grow and shrink to whatever size, weight, girth, or appearance that Luz wishes. By stomping on the ground, Luz can have the vines spawn from underneath her. The Vines can grow to upwards of 5 miles past the user before they can't grow any further. They can grow to the size and thickness of tree trunks.
    • Tragic Keepsake: Averted. Luz doesn't keep Julia's power because they kept reminding her of their grim fate and triggers her PTSD that she got from that nightmare camp. She only takes it back as a Godzilla Threshold when fighting the Golden Guard.

Tropes that apply to the Original only

  • Creating Life: The Emitter-Class Quirk "Life Giver", can give life to inanimate objects, usually by turning them into animals or plants, used to belong to Giovanni. Luz never used this power.
  • Hyperspace Arsenal: The Emitter-Class Quirk "Deep Storage" that allows her to store things inside of her body to release later on. Luz never got the chance to utilize it in practice.

  • People Puppets: The Emitter-Class Quirk "Force Power Activation" is useless for combative situations, but perfect for times when others refused to use their powers, it belonged to Jacob. It was a power Shigaraki had when he was alive, but Luz doesn't keep it.
  • Power Palms: The Emitter-Class Quirk "Kinetic Force" was basically this.
  • Stronger with Age: The raw power of the Emitter-Class Quirk "Stockpile" allowed her to gain physical strength over time.
  • Super-Intelligence: The Emitter-Class Quirk "Hyper Intellect" allows the user to temporarily enhance their intellect at the cost of stripping away their emotions.

Though, she later wishes she kept it by the time of the Battle of Gravesfield to help find the best way to win her fights.
  • Super-Speed: The Emitter-Class Quirk "Hyper Speed" makes Luz go faster. She likely used this to take down the enemy teams so quickly.
