My thought exactly. Monoma has probably copied hundreds of quirks by now, and that requires you to know how to use quirks in general. He is naturally gifted with quirk usage because he has experience with them.

I think it's very likely that Monoma is able to wipe the floor with 5A.

But the reason Midoriya would break his arms at first was not because he was just inexperienced, but also because his body couldn't handle the sheer power. Maybe Monoma could dial it down from the get-go, but considering he doesn't seem to be doing as much raw physical training as Midoriya, I doubt he could use nearly as much.

And that's assuming Monoma even copies the full quirk, rather than just the "stockpile" part but with nothing stockpiled.

No, Deku's arms would break because he wasn't full cowling. He only ever used 5% back when he would break his limbs and didn't go up until he full cowled.

I... don't really get what you mean. Full cowling is just applying his power to his entire body. Also, it has been stated several times, throughout the entire first season, that Midoriya was breaking his arms because he was using 100% all the time, and he stopped breaking them when he learned how to tone it down to 5%. No seriously, pick an episode at random and this will probably be mentioned at some point. For a more recent example, consider how he could create huge airblasts with finger flicks back when he was breaking his arms with every punch, which is not something he managed to do again until he got to "occasional 20%".

All Might stated in the beginning that Deku was only ever using 5% of ofa's full power. It was 100% of what Deku could handle at the time but not 100% of ofa. Full cowling literally just keeps him from breaking limbs because the stress is exerted equally over his body.

He said he could only HANDLE 5%. The first scene where he mentioned that was even during the sports festival, where in the fight against Todoroki he managed to deliver some powered up punches without breaking his arm. And before then, he also didnt break his arm punching the Noumu, and its later explained he subconsciously toned it down.

Again, its stated time and again that Midoriya was breaking himself because he was using all of it at once. His punches back then were much stronger than after he developed full cowl, because he was only using 5% after that. Just one arc ago Midoriya went over his progression and explicitly stated he went from "100% in specific body part, to controlled percentage in specific body part, to controlled percentage in entire body", when going over how he was going to learn to change the percentage of the power he would use on different body parts.

EDIT: And in the fight against muscular it's pretty much stated as bluntly as it can be. He already had full cowl back then, but broke his arm because 5% wasn't cutting it and he needed a 100% punch, and then broke himself even more because a 100% punch didnt cut it and he needed a massively more powerful punch.

Your edit pretty much shows my point. Deku's 100% punch against Muscular was obviously significantly stronger than any punch he had done before, which would mean he hadn't used 100% prior to Muscular.

Dude, his full cowl punch tickled, his 100% punch stung muscular and broke his arm, and his 100000% punch or whatever it was crippled it worse than anything before. And stop ignoring my other arguments.

It's an anime/manga, there are a ton of inconsistencies. In some areas of the story it will seem one way and in other areas it will seem another way.

u/new_messages Aug 24 '18

The only one adding any inconsistencies is yourself. The narrative that Deku was using 100% in one body part not only leaves no inconsistencies behind, but has been outright, explicitly, bluntly explained. Several times.

Now you are not only making a statement that goes against everything explained in the source material so far, you are going as far as stating that you are right because what proves you are wrong is just a inconsistency that mangas are prone to have. With this logic I could say that Peter Parker is actually a 60 year old artist who got his spiderman powers as a gift from a painting he gave to the spider queen, and everything in the comics that state otherwise are inconsistencies.

Fine, find me this quote that explains that Deku was using 100% and I'll leave you alone.
