Topic: My Hero Academia: Heroes: Rising
Alright, so I posted about this quite a while ago in the discussions, but I wanted to resurface this theory because it does make me think about the possibilities. That and I wanted to hear other people's thoughts on this, so here I go. (Also, this is my first blog post on the MHA wiki so... I guess I'll see how this goes.)

Okay. So the villain known as Nine received the All For One Quirk through a transplant surgery (courtesy of Dr. Ujiko) and once he fully received the Quirk his allies busted him out of a convoy, bear in mind he was still in stasis at this point. If you've seen the film, then you know that after this happened, Nine began his hunt for powerful Quirks, including a Quirk that could heal the brutal damage that his Weather Manipulation caused his body.



But just after he met up with Slice, Mummy and Chimera, we see Nine use a Scanning ability - a Quirk that allows him to view the Quirks of others through a sort of infrared vision and measure their strength. Right at the start of the movie, before he started hunting Heroes for their Quirks.

The question is did he steal this Quirk from a Pro Hero, or did he somehow obtain it during or after his AFO surgery?

The latter seems more likely since he used it as soon as he got out of transit, before he started hunting heroes for their Quirks (which we later see Hawks and the HPSC President follow up on).

My beliefs are that Dr. Ujiko may have threw it in with All For One as a sort of bonus or parting gift. But what do you all think?
