Though we didn't really find out much about this guy because of the info dump, I am still hoping for more on him and all the others.

One thing I've been wondering in particular about Nana (besides her Quirk) is whether she was even looking for a successor before meeting All Might or not.

In his case it made sense, he was permanently and severely weakened after beating AFO, and though not old old he was getting on in years. But Nana seemed perfectly healthy and still fairly young when she meet Toshinori.

That seems like a bad reason tbh. Quirks can serve purposes beyond fighting, unless he wants something Star Wars inspired like the Light and Dark should both be eliminated to prevent the rise of Dark/Light to meet it.

It also helps I don't have faith in Narrator Deku as he comes off as being more dramatic than what actuslly happens.

Honestly, the comparison that came to me second, after Beet the Vandel Buster, was Rave Master. The entire premise of that series is the main character, Haru, has multiple forms of his sword he can call upon at will, he just needs to figure out how to best employ them. That said, Rave Master cheats a bit by literally giving him New Powers as the Plot Demands as a power, via the Rave of Knowledge, which lets him understand the forms he needs when he needs them.

[up][up]What's this in reference to?

Anyway, apparently the OFA ghosts have their hopes on Izuku "completing" OFA, for whatever that's worth.

Flame of Recca

I'm getting the feeling someone may need to actually explain the reference to Flame of Recca rather than just refer to it. It's explained a little here, but not nearly enough for someone who's never read the series.

One way to complete OFA would be to eliminate the need for the "Stockpile" aspect on it, making the quirk safe to transfer without the risk to blow the receiver's body to smithereens in the process.

Essentially perfecting it.

Just an idea.

Still stand by the idea of just passing it on to someone with regen.

Deku could explain the Super-Strength by claiming to have had it the whole time, but he never used it because he couldn't control it. It would be completely plausible given what they've seen that he breaks his own bones every time he uses it. Randomly generating new quirks, however, completely defies explanation.

The school must have his records so they'd know that wasn't true, but Principal Nedzu is on the whole thing so that could help. And in Class A no one beside Bakugo knew him beforehand anyway, so he didn't really need to give an explanation to any of his classmates before.

Hell, even with Black Whip they just seemed to assume it was some weird new move he came up with. Depending on what the other powers are, that probably won't be feasible, but there's nothing he can really do about that, except deal with them when it comes up.

Or he could chalk them up to a "Mood Swinger" quirk.

aka "A quirk that changes its shape in accordance to his mood".

Like a mood stone.

Or just cut all the threads and brand it as "Reality Warping" instead, to cover all potential bases at once.

Guess he has to re-register the quirk in the official quirk register once again...

...hold on.

Isn't all quirks a form of reality warping anyhow?

Flame of Recca's Recca had flame powers that got inherited from previous user. Each user had their own new power and power of each previous user(which became new dragons for the said flame power :p because its represented by bunch of dragons)

Deku could cover it up. It's plausible to claim the black tendrils are just the ultimate manifestation of his power up quirk. Then he could work on his other quirks on the side, maybe under a different costumed identity; give him some perspective on the Vigilante side of society from MHA Illegals.

That doesn't strike me as particularly feasible, and even if it were it would just be a band-aid. Even if he had the time to practice them all on his own time, what, is he just never going to use them in front of anyone, even when actually fighting?

I wonder if any of his classmates is going to draw parallels between Deku and the Noumu, now when the former will be developing multiple quirks in the close future...

I mean, without the truth, that's the closest reference they got regarding what's going on here with him...

I think I'd like it for them to simply explain it away as a result of his late development.

But also have several class members aside from Bakugo start to realize something is up with Deku's Quirk from his and the facility reactions.

Preferably different theories if possible.

Especially once he pulls out several radically different high powered abilities.

If his mother catch wind of this, then he has to reveal the truth to her, especially if those quirks are not part of the family tree as she know it.

That is going to be one awkward talk...

I mean, the explanation he gave to her already didn't actually make sense, she just didn't care and wrote it off as a miracle.

Really, the explanation given to the school and anyone else might already be that he's just an insane freak of nature.

I can still obviously see people being suspicious, but if they have to tell people anything, that might just be it.

Yeah, but the "miracle" excuse can also only be used once.

As the saying goes: "Once is a miracle, twice is a machination".

She can't be that naive...

Edit: I wonder if anyone will be able to recognize the quirks of the former OFA holders in the current day and time... doing a little research first, that is if they tried... That could also be a problem if someone starts connecting the lines that way.

I mean, in her position would you be more likely to believe ridiculous genetic anomaly, or super Quirk passed received from the greatest hero in the world (or something of tha ilk)?

It's not naivety when you have literally nothing else to go on.

Edit: You would need to do a helluva a lot more than just a little research. Even assuming they were all famous (very possible, but in no way guaranteed), unless there exists an already existing, very obvious connection between all of them, no reasonable person would connect a bunch of dead people to Izuku.

It's naivety if she doesn't decide to follow up on this and ask Izuku straight on regarding what's going on here, since she would be able to tell if he tried to dodge the question.

Maybe even check with a real doctor again to confirm the facts for real.

(Which raises another interesting question: Does Midoriya still have the "quirkless-tell" in his toe after receiving and developing a quirk or not?)

LSBK Since: Sep, 2014
#27072: Jan 20th 2019 at 1:55:39 AM

I'm going to say I'm not trying to be rude, but I think you're taking it for granted that 1) what makes sense to you as a reader with knowledge of what's going on doesn't necessarily make sense to the characters that lack said knowledge and 2) most people aren't so consistently paranoid and overthinking everything.

She has no absolutely no reason to think this is anything other than just a gigantic genetic anomaly or that he knows any more about it than she does. I don't see what you think taking him to a doctor would change - he has a Quirk, they don't need further confirmation of that.

Technically, he doesn't have one quirk, he has seven.

Even a freak of nature like Eri only had one.

This is bound to raise some serious questions in the future.

LSBK Since: Sep, 2014
#27074: Jan 20th 2019 at 2:04:46 AM

I mean, yeah, questions will be asked. But it's a huge leap to assume he actually knows anything about what's going on.

The first thought of an outside observer would be that he's more freaked out than anyone else, not that he's completely aware of what's causing it. Eri's case and his aren't related at all

That's why I say you're letting your knowledge as a reader get in the way.

1. He knows he now got seven quirks.

2. He knows why he has them.

3. He knows how he got them.

4. He knows what to do with one of them.

(5. He doesn't know what they are though)

That's pretty good as a start once questions starts coming his way.

(Will try to keep posts short so I don't end up messing them up.)
