I'm just worried that some people might be jumping the gun on this one depending on the outcome. Trying to steer clear of that before it starts.

That's going to happen no matter what, man. You're just going to have to ignore/clean it up if you catch it happening and can't ignore it.

No matter what actually happens, some people are going to act like it's terrible. And, who knows, maybe Horikoshi will handle this in a total shit way. But the people who are already saying that aren't trying to be honest.

There is the implication that he can’t use multiple Quirks at once.

Just how he couldn’t access his strength boost after his recovery.

At least that’s how I interpret it.

It's not that he couldn't, he just chose not to because he wasn't sure if it'd go out of control again.

Maybe he won't be able to use more than one at a time (though I doubt that), but that's not what he was talking about here.

It wouldn't be too surprising if he could use multiple Quirks at once after enough training. OFA's sibling Quirk AFO can tap into multiple Quirks at once.

Understood.

If worst case scenario occurs, I'll D&D (Divert & Distract) with whatever madness I can muster in order to keep the riot confused to the point where it forgets and scatters.

It's still days until then though, and hopefully I won't have to act fireman at all...

Hopefully.

If the actual trope page ens up becoming a bit of a war, then order a lock-down on it.

I can imagine multiple Quirk usage will be far along the lines from now.

It's not even clear yet that the Quirks will have good synergy with each other. It depends on what they are.

When AFO did it he at least was smart enough to go with simple strength and body enhancing Quirks to give himself one heck of a punch.

I'm going to wait and see. It's not like Deku having multiple powers he can use at once would ruin him forever. Superman manages to pull it off.

I wonder what the potential backlash from using multiple quirks will do to Izuku's body...

If Super-Strength broke him apart when using the power, then what would Black Whip possibly do as setback for being used? Or is it just the emotional leash it's put under enough for that?

Well, at least he's not breaking from using it...physically.

It seems pretty clear that the burden of using the extra Quirks is more psychological in nature. All of them are emotion based powers that Deku only awakens by feeling the right sort of emotion. In Black Whip's case it was the intense desire to capture someone.

In Black Whip's case at least, Deku is physically fine even after that outburst.

Not every Quirk has to have such a drastic setback after all, even if Quirks are ultimately biological functions with limits.

So he's just going to get very very tired, psychologically and mentally, from any possible overuse?

It's too early to tell. We've only got one Quirk revealed so far.

Still, Hellboy did say something about it "being lucky that his quirk popped out first" when Deku started using the black whips, he seems to be implying that there can't be more than one quirk out at a time.

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

Or it could mean "youre lucky you got this relatively simple power, because these other 5 guys? Dude, hella complicated."

#27316: Jan 29th 2019 at 5:39:17 AM

I also took that to mean that Black Whip is a relatively simple and safe power compared to the others.

I interpreted it as "Nice you discovered mine, it's a really useful one". That's under the assumption that Deku will take a couple arcs between discovering each quirk, so its good to discover the more practical ones first.

As far as Deku's ability to use Black Whip goes, if he accomplishes anything impressive immediately, I'd like it to be because he's using the example if classmates like Sero as his example. That would mitigate the Instant Expert.

He is indeed no stranger to taking inspiration from others.

Shit this is the perfect opportunity to give Sero some spotlight as Deku asks for some advice.

In fact, depending on the powers he’s gotten, this could be a way for Horokishi to focus on those characters he’s wanted to emphasize for a while now.

Some people still wish that Deku was Batman

Other people have already said it, but I don't see how "you're lucky mine popped up first" implies "there can't be more than one Quirk out at a time", the two statements are completely unconnected.

Anyway, we've seen multiple characters with multiple Quirks in the series an they could use more than one Quirk simultaneously. Obviously All for One and the Nomus aren't exactly the same as what's going on here, but they're the only precedent we have. I imagine it'll take some training for him to use more than one together well but I see no reason to believe he should be physically incapable.

No, see, One for All was only introduced in the second chapter so it's not a part of the actual premise, the real premise was a Quirkless boy becoming a hero with just brains, and literally everything else is just betraying that premise.
