EARLY ACCESS MHA S2 Episode 20 Reaction

All For One's younger brother had the Quirk to pass on his Quirk. Which in of itself is useless since naturally, his only power is to pass on nothing. It turned into One For All when his older brother gave him the Quirk to "stockpile power". We're talking physical strength when referring to "power" though. In of itself that ability is also useless, since that requires passing on Quirks to stock that power. The younger brother is thus still a normal person by all accounts. It was the combination of those two Quirks that fused, turning his Quirk into the ability to pass on a constantly evolving physical strength, that created One For All.

doctor who fans!? YUUUSSSSSS!!!!

Since they know the quirk system in MHA they are putting good effort into their predictions. Hope they are able to maintain the same level of effort when they know the power system in hunter x hunter

Wrong about OFA merging quirks together. It is the result of a merger, but it doesn't continue to merge new quirks into it. It will only sit alongside your pre-existing quirk.

Memetic Hazard

Also, you guys forgot something. Two episodes ago Gran Toreno specifically mentioned that All For One killed the 7th One For All user (the one before All Might) and was the one who gave All Might the injury in his side five years previous. Meaning that All Might was the first One For All user who was strong enough to fight All For One, and even then was only just barely strong enough to win judging by how All Might clearly almost died and was crippled during the fight.

aizawa can only erase one quirk at a time i believe

Not sure where you've got the 1950s or 2020 from, but I'm quite certain it's from thin air. I'm pretty sure they've never put hard dates on anything.

He's probably only about 100 guys. The quirks started appearing in China in the 50's didn't they say? If we say he was about 40 even in 1950, then by 2020 he's only about 110

The quirk All for One gave his brother was the incredible strength. The brother was born with the quirk to pass on quirks (since family quirks are usually related to each other in some way, like Todoroki's siblings probably all have some form of fire/ice control. Both quirks also meld powers together if the recipient has a quirk already, as AM said earlier, if he had given 04A to Todoroki, Todoroki would have become superhuman along with his ice and fire control. Simlarly with the original brother, the given super strength melded with the power to pass on his quirk, so, now he can pass on the super strength.

Don't worry about momo guys x

Yeah the power to stockpile was not part of All for One, All for One is taking Quirks and passing them on. He probably took the power stockpile from someone. About how strong All Might was at his prime compared to now, I think we have to take into account that Noumu had shock absorption. So for every blow All Might deals, the actual effect is AM's power minus the shock absorption capacity. So something like (AM at prime - shock absorption)*5 ~= (AM now - shock absorption)*300 is the kind of equation I'm thinking. It'd make the difference less dramatic than being straight up 60 times weaker. Say Noumu's shock absorption is 100, then the best All Might could do now might be 110 compared to 700 at prime. Still a lot weaker, but it's probably not that One for All itself is degrading but rather because All Might had that nasty injury. He's literally a blood-coughing skeleton who somehow manages to become buff again by flexing and posturing.

What do you guys think about Shigaraki's hands?

Roma

IMO i think the younger brother's quirk involved him not turning into a Nomu(mindless being) like most other people AFO gave his quirk too. Not just the giving part.

Burooj Ahanger

My theory on Kurigiri is that he was quirkless and all for one gave him that quirk in return for being an assistant to Shigaraki's development. He seems really loyal, like moreso than just money or infamey could command.

Jason MacNeil

I love your reaction to this episode, but I just can't wait for JoJo tomorrow!

SuperTallBird

Yup :D

Semblance of Sanity

All For One gave his brother a quirk that stockpiles power, not quirks. So its judt stockpiling physical power from user to user. Also, notice the timeline of when this fight happened: 5 years ago. The same time All Might recieved in injury. So all might won the fight, but One For All managed to injure him in the process

TheWerdna

Also, not sure why you're doubting the number of episodes. The manga is still ongoing and nowhere near being close to ending. 300 episodes seems pretty conservative.

Princess Paladin

I don't read the manga so this is just conjecture, but I think all the clues that have been given by Gran Torino and All Might, kind of tell us what happened to Shimura. From what I can tell, Shimura at some point in time, met Toshinori and passed on One for All. However, before she could train him, she ended up facing All for One and was killed. Because of this, Gran Torino stepped in and became All Might's teacher and trained him in her stead. Once All Might was fully trained and had gained enough experience, he eventually found All for One in that battle five years prior to the story and the two fought. All Might won, but he gained the injury during it. Because of this All for One of course knows that All Might is weaker, simply because of the fact that he was the one who cause the wound in the first place.

Irenesharda

I think the confusion comes in that stockpiling really just means storing. And All for One still seems to contain his stolen quirks inside himself and thus storing/stockpiling them. So the terms really just became confusing for them.

Irenesharda

They don't appear to care.

Princess Paladin

All For One is the power to steal and give quirks. "Stockpiling" is not something they ever said. "Power Stocking" is the Quirk that was given to All For One's brother. It was just a random Quirk he got from somewhere, it was not an aspect of his own Quirk. They also pretty clearly indicated he already has a Quirk to stop aging, so that theory about reaching his "life limit" is already debunked in this very episode. XD

Princess Paladin

To stockpile power refers to physical power, quirks are always referred to as quirks in this series (unlike you guys using the word 'powers').

Ashalesth

I think All for One can steal One for All 100%, thats why All Might told Midoriya "anything goes" when it comes to stealing quirks. The whole "it has to be intentional" part is when it comes down to passing on One for All via consuption of DNA.

TheHumourTumour

Yeah I think power means "physical strength". We haven't seen All Might use anything but physical strength

Photonium123

All for One just gave his brother a quirk to stockpile power, not quirks themselves.

Descer

Same here

been waiting for this one!!!!!

I'm not sure if you guys have been seeing my comments, but for My Hero Academia PLEASE STOP LOOKING AT THE EPISODE TITLES BEFORE WATCHING THE EPISODES, even if it's just seconds before you click it; look away if you have to. I know you guys like to speculate based on the titles, but especially with titles like "Hero Killer Stain vs. UA Students", and "Shoto Todoroki: Origin" you're already gettting spoilers, the latter title not showing up until the end of the episode so that you don't have a clue during the fight who's going to win, and for the future episodes, including 22, 24, and ESPECIALLY, ESPECIALLY 25, not knowing the titles will give the best genuine reactions. Please trust me on this one. Please at least acknowledge you've seen it so I can rest easy that you've seen this.

THE episode is here.. nice :)
