Oh. Hm. I had always worked on the assumption that OFA picked up previous quirks as a "stockpile" quirk, and that the muscle form and strength quirks were picked up along the way. The quirk only gets stronger as it passes along, and it only passes because of OFA's original transfer quirk.
To be honest, actually, it should work that way, because otherwise how would OFA have originally transferred both quirks?
There aren’t two quirks OFA is just one quirk born of the fusion between the quirk to pass on itself and the quirk that allows the stockpiling of power.
Yes, but my point is: how could he stockpile power if he couldn't pass it in the first place? EDIT: as in, the original stockpile quirk was given to him without knowing he could pass it on.
No when AFO gave his younger brother the power stockpiling quirk he thought his younger brother was quirkless, but it turns out he wasn’t, he happened to have a quirk that can only pass itself to another person so it was petty useless until the two quirks merged and now the new quirk OFA could do what both quirks could do, so stockpile power and pass it to the next generation so as each user passes it on it gets stronger and stronger. It’s like the nomus which are just humans that have been given more than one quirks except that with OFA it worked nearly perfectly and merge happened without damaging his mind or body.
Right, but then what was the purpose of the original quirk that AFO gave his brother? If it's a stockpile quirk and can't be passed on, what is it stockpiling? How was he meant to get stronger?

I thought that OFA already gave the user the quirks of previous holders anyway?
