Gearshift

Gearshift was the Meta Ability used by the Second User of One For All and later inherited by Izuku Midoriya.

Description
Gearshift allows the user 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.

Weaknesses
Initially, the Meta Ability was only capable of working on small objects, which All For One likened to being a "peashooter". However, after melding with One For All, Gearshift has greatly evolved in power to the point it cannot be wielded in the usual way, thus has been designated as a last resort. The Second User has told Izuku that once he used the Quirk, he would only have five minutes to finish the job, implying the strain of using the power will take him out of the fight after time is up. One of the setbacks of using Gearshift in its current empowered form for too long without rest is that Izuku's body will not receive enough oxygen to properly function.

Usage
The Second User primarily used Gearshift to control the speed and trajectory of bullets which he fired out of the gauntlets on his arms. Despite the limitations on the Meta Ability, he appeared to have a good amount of control over it, able to use it while being choked out by All For One, though it ultimately was shown to not be considered a threat for the villain.

Izuku first used the Quirk to make all of his Ultimate Moves faster to the point where he broke the sound barrier, inflicting heavy damage to "Tomura Shigaraki" as the sound was delayed before it can be heard. All For One was able to recognize the significant increase in speed and power from their original encounter.

Since it merged with One For All and evolved along with it, Gearshift's scope has greatly broadened, allowing it to apply to more diverse targets than it originally could and function right down to the cellular level. When used in conjunction with the raw might of One For All, it is capable of warping the very laws of reality.

Trivia

 * Gearshift is one of the oldest known Quirks in the series along with One For All, All For One, Life Force, Spearlike Bones, Fa Jin, and the unnamed Luminescence Quirk.
 * Gearshift's setback causing damage to Izuku's cells is similar to Nine's sickness where cells degenerate every time the villain used his Weather Manipulation Quirk.
