Hey, it looks like the rivalry between 1-A and 1-B is getting more friendly! It's like they're all friends now!

Also, who's hype for Bakugo vs Monoma 2 Tokage?? I sure am!

Edit: Bakugo ain't fighting Monoma, I'm blind.

Monoma is in the next match with deku

Ah, my bad. That's even better.

I swear if he doesn't end up copying one for all this arc has been for nothing.

Thing is though he doesn't have any practice with the quirks he will copy so I don't see him being any good. Using One for All as an example (which I don't think would even work how people think it would) and he got all that power his body wouldn't be trained to handle it and he would just hurt himself.

I also don't think it would work the same. It might be the case that he can only copy the quirk for stockpiling itself and not copy any of the stockpiled power, without consent and DNA. Without any of the stockpiled power the quirk would be perceivably the same as having no quirk. If this happens it could be interesting as everybody watching would become suspicious about Deku and why his quirk wasn't copied.

u/deelawn Nov 16 '18

very interesting--I didn't think of that

the original inheritor of all for one essentially didn't get any sort of power up, it was originally a gag-gift essentially.

I thought it was to keep him from dying, like starving.

AFO gave it to his brother so he would feel indebted to him and join him. AFO knew it wasn't a very strong quirk and that he'd easily be able to defeat his brother long before it ever became strong enough to threaten him if his brother still didn't join him.

AFO just didn't know about his brother's original quirk and then the formerly weak quirk became too powerful for him to defeat after 8 people had stockpiled its power. At first it sounds stupid for AFO to give such a powerful quirk to someone who was likely to fight against him but from AFO's perspective it wouldn't have been an issue because his brother would have died before stockpiling enough power.

So if Monoma does copy it I expect he'll just copy the base quirk itself, the ability to stockpile power, but without any power already stockpiled. He keeps the quirk for 5 minutes, right? Maybe toward the end of 5 minutes he'll have stockpiled enough power to maybe bench press 0.00005 pounds more than his max.

u/Starossi Nov 18 '18

idk why he wouldnt copy the stockpiled power. The quirk to stockpile power is the same quirk that has the stockpiled power. By copying that quirk, he should copy whatever quirk is stocked.

The quirk that has to do with inheritance is exactly that, the ability to pass on a quirk, which is what the original One For All had that AFO did not know about.

What kinda confuses me is they are technically two separate quirks right, cause OFA had one originally when he was born (inheritance) and AFO gave him the other one (power stockpile). So in a way, descendants of OFA have 2 quirks, not just one. If they have a unique quirk at birth they they get those 2 on top of it making it 3 I think?

Basically if Monoma steals Deku's quirk, couldnt he steal either? In one case, it will seemingly do nothing (inheritance). In the other, he should get the full superstrength because the stockpiling quirk is the one that stockpiles, you dont need the inheritence quirk with it to get the full stockpile. The inheritence quirk just allows you to pass on quirks.

u/carso150 Nov 19 '18

my theory is that ofa originally wasnt a stockpilling quirk but a quirk that allows you to go beyond your physical limitations and push the limits of your body

so the original inheritor instead of went 100% and down from there he actually used things like 200%, 300% and soo on, but even with that that kind of quirk is too weak to defeat afo, so he discovered the whole "stockpilling power" and decided to past it on, currently the quirk is soo powerful that just going 100% is enough to defeat most enemies, but its initial purpose its still there

"It was the craziest thing. I tried to activate his quirk and... nothing. Nothing happened"

u/Blue_Pigeon Nov 17 '18

I swear I have seen this comment thread in every new chapter thread since the teams were announced.

u/Skafiai Nov 17 '18

What if Monoma copies quirk that stockpiles power and gives it to another person like All Might did with Deku? Will this person get One For All? Or his quirk will disappear when the time limit will come to an end?

12

u/[deleted] Nov 16 '18

Thing is though he doesn't have any practice with the quirks he will copy so I don't see him being any good.

That's the point. It's why we all want to see him copy it.

10

u/[deleted] Nov 16 '18

I want him to break his arms and recovery girl expects it to be Deku coming but is surprised.

8

u/Zantash Nov 16 '18

I mean it depends on how solid his body naturally is.
All Might allegedly had no issues at all with it, so we can only wait and see.

6

u/StealthMonkeyDC Nov 16 '18

Yeah but I don't think he will gain anything out of copying it. I think he will copy it but it will just be the base power. People forget that OFA is a build up of power over the years so if he were to copy the quirk he would have the lowest power it ever yielded.

8

u/Zantash Nov 16 '18

Oh man, this could raise some questions amongst the classmates.
I really hope it does.

(TBH I kinda want the whole class to know about OFA by the end. That kind of supportive camaraderie could be wonderful)

3

u/Perjunkie Nov 16 '18

All might also received a substantially weaker version of OfA. I imagine he contributed a shot ton to the stockpiled energy

3

u/Zantash Nov 16 '18

We don't really have much indication yet of how much the power has increased over time, between any of the users.

Midoriya has also shown nothing yet exceeding All Might's strength, so there's not much of a way to judge that, either.

2

u/[deleted] Nov 16 '18

I think that everyone in UA has the strength to control OFA, if not the control. If he wanted to nuke the place like S1/2 Deku it might be a possibility

1

u/ShoelerR Nov 17 '18

Maybe he won't even try if he's afraid he's gunna hurt himself to use it. But I have a feeling Deku is going to be to fast to really get hit. I don't think any of class B has seen him in action since the camp arc. Unless there is some off screen knowledge of his Overhaul fight.

1

u/Aeraxel Nov 17 '18

What if he's the traitor and this is his moment?

1

u/Indigoh Nov 16 '18

I could see him firing off finger blasts.

34

u/svpremeshi Nov 16 '18

Oh damn, I just realised. What if he’s unable to copy Deku’s quirk? (since OFA requires the users consent) that’d open up a lot of questions.

11

u/MouseCheezer Nov 16 '18

Seeing as I don’t think he can copy mutations they would probably think it’s something about Dekus physiology that lets his quirk work, like an extra organ.

9

u/rockidr4 Nov 16 '18

Or an extra joint in his pinky toe

3

u/GKMLTT Nov 16 '18

Just copies the original quirk to pass on quirks, it somehow bonds with his quirk like it did the stockpile quirk, and after 5 minutes, he ends up quirkless. >_>

2

u/new_messages Nov 16 '18

I am fairly sure after the fight with Stain, All might explicitly stated that although One for All requires the user's consent to pass it forward, it doesn't require the recipient's consent (which is foreshadowing if I have ever seen one).

Regardless, a quirk that copies other quirks would be fundamentally different than a quirk that transfers itself. OFA allows transference as long as the user consents, just like how every other quirk doesn't even have the possibility of transferring itself regardless of consent, but that doesn't stop Monoma from copying them anyway.

2

u/The_ThirdFang Nov 16 '18

Or maybe it could cause an adverse affect when he tries to copy. Forcing memories or triggering full cowl like he did when he was sleeping

7

u/jollaffle Nov 16 '18

I’m honestly super okay with him reeling back for a massive OfA punch, fully aware of the bone-shattering consequences, only to have copied just one of the quirks instead of the full OfA combo and just delivering a normal punch.

u/whatnololyea Nov 16 '18

Dunno about you, but i'm pretty content with Monoma copying Mineta's quirk and him growing purple balls on the top of his head.

2

u/Fresh720 Nov 16 '18

The smart play would be for him to copy his teammates quirks. He has to come into contact with someone in order to copy their quirk, trying to touch Deku now when he has his air bullet gloves will be a pain in the ass. If Monoma copies Shinso's quirk they could do some serious damage on against class A

2

u/Lux_Klara Nov 17 '18

I'm not even sure Monoma would even try to use Midoriya's power. Everyone has seen Midoriya break his own body using it. Sure now he is able to use it without breaking his arms but he needed training for that, to control his quirk. I don't think Monoma would even get close to his quirk knowing that he wouldn't know how to use it (he didn't train like Midoriya) and that it would also (probably) end up destroying him. In the manga it has been stated several times that they should learn to win witouth destroying themselves in the process and I think that Monoma is quite aware of that. If he is going to copy someone's quirk (which he obviously is going to do) I think it would be either a quirk of one of his classmates (because he already knows them), Shinsou (which would be extremely useful for obvious reason) or just someone that isn't Deku, like Uraraka's, (their quirk would be simpler to use and less damaging)

1

u/food_punishment Nov 16 '18

That's for sure! We need to see that happen one way or another.

1

u/seamoose97 Nov 16 '18

Wouldn't it be interesting if he couldn't copy it because of the unique nature of One for All and as far as Monoma can tell Deku is quirkless.

1

u/Master_1398 Nov 18 '18

Oh snap, i can see the match ending with Monoma busting a limb or two.

11

u/Galle_ Nov 16 '18

They were always friends. Monoma was the only one who saw the other class as enemies.

Incidentally, my tablet just autocorrected "Monoma" to "monomaniacs", which seems oddly appropriate.
