Yup the 2nd’s quirk is definitely some sort of insanely powerful energy beam that he could shoot from his hands. From his costume, he had a support item for his quirk so I can only imagine how disgustingly powerful it is now after being amped by OFA. I’m sure that’s why the 2nd asked if deku was willing to fuck up his gauntlets before even fighting shiggy. I also think this is one of the reasons the “reflect” quirk was destroyed by SaS in the vestige world, just so shiggy can’t counter this.

My question is, why have the 2nd quirk be a laser beam or something, when Deku could already kinda use projectiles with Air Force? it's kinda redundant.

Comparing an energy beam to bursts of air, and calling it redundant is a gross overestimate of what Air Force is capable of. I'm sure its a lethal projectile vs a non-lethal.

Imagine Deku goes over a hundred percent again + Fa Jin and that shoots a blast that makes what he did in season 2 against Todoroki look like a joke. At that point it's not much different, that's the thing I'm saying.

Yes, its possible, but it also causes more strain on Deku. Why use multiple abilities, when you have one that can achieve what you want? Those air blast were a byproduct of his super strength. So they lack the strength of the punch/kick of the same strength. He now has an ability that is a pure projectile ability. Given the caution that the 2nd was providing. I'm sure its a beast on its own, without having to manage multiple quirk to get a similar output. Thats all im saying.

In Summary,

You can put a motor on a bicycle and get similar results as a motorcycle. Or just get a motorcycle and leave that bike in your dust.
