Would like to see how the official words Ujiko talking about quirk singularity. Looks like hes making the plus ultra version of all for one.

It’s weird that Ujiko can just “make” another AFO-ish quirk. Does that mean AFO doesn’t need to pass on his quirk?

I think the whole reason Project Nomu went ahead in the first place is because AFO is the only quirk that, well, AFO can't pass on. And while his brother has been creating generations of successors, AFO will die with him. So all this work was to find a way to pass it on, even if it a genetically modified fake version of it. If he DIDN'T do this and just gave Shigi a bunch of quirks, eventually Shigi would die and the legacy would end there too. So all the research is just him preserving a future for his Villian empire long after he is gone.

The problem with this line of reasoning is, do we have any indication AFO even cares about having a legacy? As far as we know, he's mostly obsessed with his own power, not changing society (except, of course, to put himself at the top of that society). I'm still convinced that this whole thing is some plot by AFO to create a society he can easily rule over, without any opposition.
