So we finally see what happens when Monoma tries to copy OFA.

It fails to activate.

[up] Rather, it likely does activate...but he can only copy the quirk itself, not the stockpiled strength or quirks.

Either that, or his own body has Required Secondary Powers that immediately prevent activation if the copied Quirk is harmful to him.

But yeah, the idea that he only copied the default Quirk that had no accumulated power also works.

So one more chapter sounds about right for this fight.

Everyone on Team A doing good, even Mineta except for his one obligatory and eyerolling pervert moment.

Team B not so hot in close combat, but we already knew that was the case.

Liking the Mineta-Pinky combo move though. Only Mineta would take the time to play a pervert move into and make it a legit strategy in order to turn himself into a human pinball.

That aside, I can already smell the reaction regarding Deku's seemingly Instant Expert moment with Black Whip in the last page...oh, I pray this won't get ugly...

Kind of hilarious that the Black Whip User did a better job of teaching Deku how to use his Quirk in less than a minute than All Might did in months.

All Might is really bad at teaching.

To be fair one destroys his body, the other might destroy other's bodies at worst.

Yeah, I'm pretty sure that this quirk probably doesn't have such a dangerous learning curve. That, and all the training he's been doing already might've carried over in teaching him how to adjust and deal with a new power, so he'd have a better chance at figuring out how it works when he doesn't have to learn from scratch.

Figured Monama wouldn't be able to use the stockpiled quirks.

The quirk did activate. Monama used the cultivated power of...himself. He moved exactly as fast as Monama could with the proportional strength of a Monama-sized Monama.

And just how evil would it be if Ashido and Mineta combined their Quirks and make acid covered balls that can not be unstuck. It would be pretty gory.

[up] Essentially, it gave him the power of an MC which essentially accumulated in...nothing.

It's actually a bit hilarious really, since this is exactly what would happen in real life if someone tried to be a superhero without the favor of the author or outside influences to grant them an immunity to fate required powers to pull it off.

Real life Shounen Hero filled with nothing but the high of illusion = Subdued into a submission hold by a barehanded woman with martial art training, no powers required.

So funny...

My theory is that it just copied Midoriya's natural quirk- or would have if he had one.

#27194: Jan 25th 2019 at 2:27:10 PM

The One for All effects were there, so he definitely copied it. "He just gets it reset to zero" makes the most sense to me right now.

That's...gonna raise a few flags.

I think Ochako is going to be in on the secret after this. There's no way Deku can just cover this up; it was excusable when his quirk was just seen as super strength.

But now he's developed another quirk and Monoma couldn't copy it even though as far as everyone else is concerned, he should be able to.

I've been assuming that both Ochaco and Aizawa are going to be brought into the situation after this.

Wouldn't be shocked if Aizawa already had an idea.

Shouto more or less figured it out, even if he doesn't know the details

So I'm gonna go with Monoma did try to seriously copy OFA, it just didn't work so he was genuinely shocked.

His failure then caused Ochako to misinterpret it as a bluff even it was never intended to be a bluff in the first place.

Todoroki only knows Deku's quirk is similar to All Might's. He knows nothing beyond that.

Would be funny if Monoma can now store more Quirks because of the stockpiling effect. tongue
