I don't know why but I keep checking out the forums and I'm reminded that the place is an absolute cesspool.

Well the forums have pretty much no moderation so anyone can make a thread of whatever they want, even complaint threads.

A common type of thread you see every season with literally every single popular show is the "Why is this show I don't like popular?" which festers in negativity.

I've pretty much avoided any MHA discussions online other than this thread. "The more popular something is, the worse the fans are" should be an internet rule or something.

[up] That sounds pretty accurate. I mean with that amount of fans you're bound to get a Broken Base at some point.

Well, that’d be jus’ a waste. Why would ya want to deprive the world of such anomaly as yourself?

The more popular something becomes, the more obnoxious the fans & haters become.

Its pretty much groupings of extremes here.

There is no middle ground, logic & rationality have been thrown completely out the window. Its a fucking battlefield.

The irony is that other forums hate this place for the same reasons.

So I guess every fandom hates each other.

Well, let's just leave them on their side of the wall and leave us to this side of it. No point in poking a hornet's nest for no reason after all.

So here is a question regarding Monoma.

If Monoma tries to copy OFA now, would he copy the whole thing or just the last quirk Deku used before the copy happened?

LSBK Since: Sep, 2014
#27037: Jan 19th 2019 at 10:52:13 AM

I pointed out that he totally did try to copy One For All. Who knows if we'll actually get to see, but my gut reaction would be that he'd copy the super strength no matter what.

TitanJump Since: Sep, 2013 Relationship Status: Singularity
#27038: Jan 19th 2019 at 11:17:08 AM

I know, that's why I brought it up on top again.

One thing that would be messed up?

If Monoma copied the quirk, played around with it for five minutes, and then when it left his body, took his "Copy" quirk along with it as "interest" for the loan. Essentially leaving the poor guy quirkless.

One idea.

LSBK Since: Sep, 2014
#27039: Jan 19th 2019 at 11:22:06 AM

Monoma is copying Quirks, he's not actually taking them from people. There's nothing to "go back to" anyone else, or leave his body.

TitanJump Since: Sep, 2013 Relationship Status: Singularity
#27040: Jan 19th 2019 at 11:39:49 AM

Pardon, poor choice of words.

Well, considering that OFA is a unique artificial quirk with multiple aspects that breaks common knowledge of quirks as the MHA-verse knows them, we really can't tell what would happen if a copy quirk got in contact with it, since Monoma's limitations are "one quirk per person" and a capacity to stockpile a unknown number of them at the same time.

If his quirk is similar to AFO, then there is the possibility that nothing will happen if he touch Deku, since OFA can't be stolen, which would include a "paste-and-copy" as well, which is considered theft in a sense.

Option B: Nothing happens.

LSBK Since: Sep, 2014
#27041: Jan 19th 2019 at 11:51:20 AM

You shouldn't assume that One For All works any differently than any other Quirk, unless they specifically say it does.

And another note, comparing Monoma and AFO feels like comparing Kirishima and Tetsetetsu at this point - they're similar only on the surface level, and actual quite different when you get down to what the characters are actually doing.

True.

And true.

But it's also the closest comparison there is, no?

That aside, one have to wonder what Monoma was thinking for even trying to copy Deku's quirk after seeing it go haywire mere minutes before and almost killing him in the process. Unless he thinks he can do a better job with the quirk than Deku does.

Suicidal overconfidence much?

I'm curious, when All Might explained OFA did he call it a strength-enhancing quirk or that it just stockpiles power?

LSBK Since: Sep, 2014
#27044: Jan 19th 2019 at 4:26:04 PM

He said it stockpiles "power" but "power" in this case refers to physical strength, not superpowers. All Might clearly doesn't know about any of what's going on.

Huh amusing then since now we can look at it as other defs of power.

All Might picked the right wording & he didn't even know it. tongue

One difference between Monoma and AFO is that beneath the ham Monoma almost seems resigned to being a Heel. AFO revels in it.

I suppose it shouldn’t be much of a surprise

OFA was created in the first place when it merged with its host’s quirk

To be honest, I think the copying will either fail (cannot be copied, like it cannot be stolen), or he'll copy the basic form of the quirk without the stockpiled powers and strength.

LSBK Since: Sep, 2014
#27049: Jan 19th 2019 at 7:05:45 PM

[up][up]I don't really think that's the same thing, though.

One For All was created by two Quirks merging to make something new. This sounds like the old Quirks just got "buried" in One For All, and he's going to be able to use them as they already existed, aside from being stronger, apparently.

Someone mentioned that Flame of Recca comparisons were being made to OFA.

If this is the case, then it would be for the best if Deku is the last Bearer. Then the spirits of the OFA Bearers would finally be able to pass on in peace, like what happened at the end of Flame of Recca.
