I'd think it would be like if you lived all your life with a third arm, but then one day lost the third arm to be replaced with a third leg. You'd be able to move it around and get accustomed to it after a bit, sure, but it may take a while before you can become a three-legged soccer star.

[up] thanks for the reminder that there actually is a quirk in-canon called "Soccer".

Need to re-read vigilantes again...

I don't think we're supposed to think there are different "mechanisms" for activating Quirks.
Assuming I'm not misunderstanding what you mean by mechanisms, I'm not so sure about that. Quirks are, essentially, extra bodily functions. It seems simple because we're seeing people who have had their quirks a decade or more, but every consciously activated quirk had it's own way of getting activated. Uraraka and Shigaraki have to touch something with all five fingers, Deku has to focus his power in specific places, Tokoyami actually speaks to his quirk, etc.

I just meant that turning the Quirk Factor "on" or whatever is fundamentally the same. Yeah, external conditions can vary from person to person (Ocahco needing to touch things with her finger pads, Sato needing to eat sugar first, Shinso needing someone to talk back to him, etc), but the internal/cellular "trigger" is the same for everyone.

Ah, in that case you're probably right. If nothing else if not for that you'd think Eraser Head couldn't affect as many quirks as he does.

So going off of the last chapter, there is going to be a greater reason this is happening now with One for All. I actually would have been perfectly fine the explanation just being "it wasn't strong enough before, but it is now" but if there's going to be something more to it, that's fine too. I just hope it's interesting, whether it's something Izuku has done differently or something external out of his control.

I had an amusing thought that the main reason why we don’t hear about from Daddy Midoriya is because Inko & Deku purposely wants to keep everything a secret so they can surprise him with the news once he gets back. tongue

Kind of realized why AFO can listen in on OFA like he does.

After all, the "Stockpile" quirk technically came from him. (And that one is the reason to why all the other torch bearers are still alive in there together with the quirks to begin with.)

So he's part of OFA in that regard...

Makes me wonder what might happen if he finally dies.

[up][up]We don't even know that's what was going on there. You have a tendency to take a lot of your assumptions as facts that I think you should work on.

A bit of spoilers: Next chapter delves a little on Destro and what he did to become so infamous

Interesting

So in volume 3 right after the USJ arc is over, there's this spread of everyone in the Class, and All Might saying how they'll all become strong heroes, but there are two blank spots.

Now, one of them is obviously supposed to be for Toru, but that still leaves another conspicuously empty panel. I've seen someone take that as foreshadowing of someone else (i.e. Shinso) joining Class A.

I don't know how good foreshadowing that counts as, but I have thought it was weird that there was just one panel not going to any use for that spread.

[up][up][up][up] And?

Making assumptions is perfectly fine and harmless. Especially since I'm not actually trying to force them upon others by arguing and the like.

There's nothing wrong with that, right?

(Also, since the spoilers are coming out now, I'll be gone until the chapter actually comes out, so see you all later...)

[up]Presenting your thoughts is fine, but when you speak of them so matter-of-fact like you could give people the wrong ideas about things. You often present your opinions as if they're established facts, and that can be a problem when it's about something we know very little about.

I do think there's some connection between One For All the quirk and All For One the man, given his "I hear my little brother" bit when Izuku had his flashback dream.

Ohoho we finally learning about Destro ooooh-la-la.

Speculation is something everyone does to some degree during an ongoing series. If it isn't in my interest to look at, I just pass it over.
