User blog:GAMEONBOI/One for all

One for all consistently confuses me but one thing I need to take into account is that its not meant to be straightforward. The series gave us a set of rules from the start, then completely got rid of them and introduced the most powerful quirk in the series so far(in my opinion). This is why I want to decode it here.

Chapter 2 of the manga is when we get our first proper explanation of the quirk. This is when the anime was different to the manga. That flashy light sequence shown when people do something cool with OFA is shown in chapter 2 except it is a graph of sorts. It shows the growth in power between each OFA user clearly. The first user was a small flicker of light, the second was twice the size of the first, the third barely changed from the second, the fourth doubled in size of the third, the fifth got a bit bigger than the fourth,the sixth was a bit bigger than the fifth, the seventh which we know was nana shimura basically tripled in size compared to the sixth. Now this is interesting. Up to this point none of the OFA users could beat all for one and seeing that all might's light was twice the size of nana shimura's I can say without a doubt that none of the other OFA users stood a chance against all for one This also shows that the growth between each user is not consistent.

Next up I would like to talk about dekus (i know its izuku but I just like saying deku) growth from all might. Shoto was born to suppress all might, we know this as a fact, but how? This is a wild guess but his ice could be defensive and his fire offensive. Endeavor has shown that hell flame offers no defensive benefits but its offensive capabilities are quite good. He is good at melee combat due to the fire on his fists and this is near (not at, near) to all might's power when he isn't really trying. During the Camino incident all might punched a nomu with very little effort and the knockback was very similar to the amount endeavour had against the no eyed nomu at the hosu incident. Shoto uses his ice mainly for stopping enemies getting close to him as without his fire he isn't really close combat ready. Proof of this is the ice wall he used on bakugo during the finals at the sports festival. Then when bakugo attacked him with a Howitzer impact he activated his flames to get ready to fight at close quarters. If you combined these two powerful abilities together, like Shoto does when he uses both sides, you could take on all might at 100% of his power. Now you might be thinking why this is relevant but during the second fight deku fights Shoto. Deku consistently uses 100% Delaware smashes during the fight but shoto blocks them with his ice. Then when shoto uses both sides he beats deku whilst he is using 100% of his power. If Shoto was made to beat all might with both sides at 100% but he can also beat deku at 100% this means that deku's power has not grown that much from all mights.

I will right more on another post but i have already written a bit too much than i was planning on.
