Kudo

was the second user of the One For All Quirk.

Appearance
The second user was a man with short, spiky hair and somewhat thin eyes that slant slightly downwards. He also has a large scar, which starts from the left side of his forehead and forks out and finishes underneath both of his eyes. He wears a combat jacket with a large, black collar. He also has large gauntlets, which he seemingly used for offensive purposes.

Personality
At first glance, the second user is a valiant, yet apathetic person with a strong sense of justice, shown when he is unwilling to lend his power to Izuku Midoriya, due to his optimistic attitude and "ridiculous" ideals.

However, he has a caring, or empathetic side, shown when he was willing to help rescue the brother of his "mortal enemy." This side of the second user is further expressed when, during the second War, he tells Izuku to trust in his friends and to focus on himself.

History
The man who would become the second user lived through a time when All For One was at his peak, so the only way to win was to survive and kill enemies. Eventually meeting who would be the third user, the two came across Yoichi Shigaraki's room in which he was imprisoned. Knowing full well that he was his sworn enemy's brother, they considered killing him, but after a change of heart, the second user reached out his hand to Yoichi, who accepted, starting the One For All. At some point, Yoichi passed on his Quirk to the second user, who would then pass it on to the third before being killed by All For One.

U.A. Sports Festival Arc
During the fight between Izuku Midoriya and Hitoshi Shinso in the tournament of the U.A. Sports Festival, Izuku is brainwashed by Hitoshi's Quirk, who orders him to walk out of bounds. Although Izuku tries to resist, he cannot disobey the order, but when he is about to cross the edge of the ring, the second user and the rest of the previous users appear to Izuku as shadowed mental figures. They uncloud his mind and allow Izuku to use One For All in his fingers, allowing him to escape the trance and win the fight.

My Hero Academia: Heroes: Rising
During a devastating battle between a villain with a copy of All For One's Quirk, in a last-ditch effort to defeat him, Izuku transfers One For All to Katsuki Bakugo, even at the cost of rendering himself Quirkless once more. Through the dual power of the One For All's, the two manage to take the villain down, even as the remaining embers of One For All seemingly disappear from Izuku. However, the users of One For All, wanting Izuku to continue to harness the power, and recognizing his heroism of being willing to sacrifice his power to save everyone, only temporarily transferred the power over to Katsuki, while the full essence of One For All remains within Izuku. All Might tearfully thanks his master and predecessors for staying with Izuku. However, the extent to which the second and third users were involved is unknown, as they openly doubted that Izuku is a capable successor.

Paranormal Liberation War Arc
In the aftermath of the Paranormal Liberation War, when Izuku is rendered comatose, he speaks to all the vestiges within One For All. The second and third users faced away from Izuku as the other users talked to him about One For All, as well as if he has the will to put an end to Tomura Shigaraki and All For One. After the other users agreed to lend their full support to Izuku, Yoichi turned around to the second and third users, asking them to cooperate with their successor. The two express their doubts with Izuku's resolve to save Tomura, believing it to be foolish and naive. However, Yoichi reminds them that they rescued him despite knowing his connections to their enemy, and manages to convince them to support Izuku.

Final War Arc
After leaving Okuto Island, the second user appears to Izuku, after he tried to use his Meta Ability to get to U.A. faster. He reminds Izuku that his Meta Ability is only to be used as a "last resort" as it has transformed into a "unique power" due to the power that has been stockpiled in One For All over the generations. He tells Izuku that he should not become desperate and to have faith in his friends, as they are all out fighting for their own reasons and, with that in mind, he should focus on his fight.

Meta Abilities
Gearshift: The second user's Meta Ability allows him to change the speed at which things accelerate through space. The Meta Ability is even capable of changing speeds while ignoring the laws of inertia. Initially, it only worked on small objects, but it is described as having evolved into a "unique power," due to the power stockpiled by One For All.

One For All (ワン・フォー・オール): Transferred to him from Yoichi Shigaraki, the second user's second Meta Ability allowed him to stockpile an enormous amount of raw power, allowing him to significantly enhance all of his physical abilities to a superhuman level. This resulted in unbelievable levels of strength, speed, agility, and durability.

Equipment
Gauntlets: The second user wields large gauntlets with a slit-like hole at the end, which fires pointed blades. These are used in conjuction with his Gearshift Meta Ability to manipulate the speed and trajectory the projectiles as they fly.

Yoichi Shigaraki
The second user was one of two people who rescued Yoichi from imprisonment. Despite knowing that Yoichi was the younger brother of All For One, he still extended his hand and his support to him. Yoichi has a tremendous amount of respect for the second user, calling him his hero. Because of this, Yoichi chose the second user to inherit One For All and, with that, to fight All For One.

Yoichi managed to convince the second user to lend his power to Izuku, so that the young hero can use the full potential of One For All.

Third User
Not much is known about the relationship between the second and third user, but it seems to be a well-established one. They are shown as being able to work together, particularly when they worked together to rescue Yoichi from All For One. The third user also shares the same strong sense of justice as the second user, which could have helped with establishing their relationship.

Izuku Midoriya
The second user was initially dismissive of Izuku, saying that he would not help him because he wants to save Tomura, calling it a "ridiculous delusion." Yoichi explains to the second user that he chose to rescue him despite his ties to All For One, and that he believes that Izuku can bring an end to the fight they've been fighting. The second user's opinion of Izuku then changes, granting his power to the latest successor.
