So I've seen people saying this is like Flame of Recca.

What happened there?

I could see Deku having multiple quirks making him a target for villains and those who like Playing with Syringes.

Honestly, as things stands most of the issues that could come from this are just going to have to be dealt with as they come up fashion.

For now he should focus on finding out what the other Quirks are and controlling them, with the Black Whip and Nana's Quirk being the obvious starting points.

Yup people are really going loco right now.

Typical "series has gone downhill, its shit, they surpassed the Eri asspull, yadda, yadda" stuff.

Gonna be a while before rational thought comes back.

Turns out the rest of the Quirks are mostly useless.

The first Quirk dissolves slime on contact.

The second Quirk allows you to sense the point value of headbands.

The third Quirk just gives you resistance to temperature extremes.

The fourth Quirk renders anyone who makes contact with your blood unconscious.

The fifth Quirk causes exposed muscles to relax.

The sixth Quirk allows you to detect compressed ice.

Nothing all that useful.cool

I doubt they'll be useless, but I think their utility will likely be for purposes beyond fighting.

Every accusation by the GOP is ALWAYS a confession.

I honestly don't have much of an opinion on the recent developments beyond "we don't know whether it'll screw up the story or not until we know more about it." There are just too many open questions that could determine whether or not this is a good or bad thing in the long run:

We don't know:

  • How much control Deku actually as over these new powers (as others have noted, there's plenty of potential for him to injure himself or others if he can't control the power properly)
  • What the other quirks are (for all we know, most of them might be weak enough to the point that they only marginally increase his utility, or they're extremely situational, etc.)
  • How those quirks might interact with each other. It's entirely possible that they might not be compatible and force him to find workarounds.
  • How it's going to influence his relationship with All Might in light of the new info about the quirk.
  • How the league of villains (who still have some of those quirk-cancelling bullets) are going to react to it.

TL;DR while it certainly has the potential be a shark jumping moment, we can't really call it either way until we see how it actually impacts the story in light of all the factors in play.

It should be kept in mind he doesn't just have their Quirks, he has super-charged versions of them. Even ones that might not have originally been useful or combat-oriented could be so now.

It really just depends on what they are.

Also, I'm kind of surprised that no one has commented on how Monoma was probably trying to copy One For All there.

This situation is interesting because Team B was working under the thought process of "If things come to a brawl, Midoriya will dominate" and now things have come to a brawl so...

Stockpiling power charges them up

So Black Whip Venom tentacles gets at least as strong as Venom movie symbiote

Reading the chapter makes me more at ease with this development, and I honestly trust Horikoshi a lot that I feel he can make it work

But I can totally get why some won't be thrilled with this.

So I've seen people saying this is like Flame of Recca.

What happened there?

The main character is from a long line of ninja masters with fire powers, and he too can talk with his predecessors in his "inner world" to try getting their powers. Although unlike MHA, the "powers from predecessor" part happen early in the series.

So now that Deku has both Spiderman's webs and probably inherits All Mights Superman qualities, how long until a hammer starts jutting out of his fucking chest and we get a Thor expy? tongue

[up][up]Well, becoming a Top Hero seems to come with a lot of wealth, though unfortunately that's earned.

More seriously, thinking about it, I feel like this development is probably so that situations can continue to get more intense without having the rely on Izuku going 100%.

Since he's already established that doing so a couple more time when render his arms unusable, but he doesn't want to do any huge leaps in power he can use comfortably.

So these new powers, on top of being (potentially) interesting, are so that he has more options as the fights escalate. Which is kind of cheap, or at least sounds like it, but it all depends on the execution to me.

[up][up] Or knows the codes for AFO's secret bank accounts. (from when OFA still was alive, that is.)

That aside, I'm expecting that a third of the OFA quirks will be powers of the What Kind of Lame Power Is Heart, Anyway? variety, probably belonging to the two eclipsed shadows seen in the Mind Hive. (And would make it hilarious if the reason that those two are hiding in the shadows is due to quirk-shame and not a serious one.)

That aside, it will be nice to see what Nana's quirk is...

#27022: Jan 18th 2019 at 9:53:36 PM

[up] No, All Might is actually visible. (as a semi-formed flame), I'm talking about those two at the far back of the rows. Those who're nothing but shadows.

#27023: Jan 18th 2019 at 9:56:58 PM

[up] Oh, I thought the fire guy was someone else. One of the figures does have a hairstyle somewhat similar to All Might.

All Might is there, but blurry. There are two others who are just completely blacked out for some reason. And they don't really have All Might's hair.

Kaiseror Since: Jul, 2016
#27025: Jan 18th 2019 at 10:03:02 PM

To me one of the figures hairstyles resembled All Mights skinny form when viewed directly from the front.

My guess as to why those two aren't visible, they were very famous when they were alive but kept their status as One-For-All users very secret.
