[@tobofu5978]

In this arc, Muscular is specifically referred to as 'Jailbreaker' by the others rather than just being a jailbreaker

[@TheCustodians]

Our Discord told us and yeah, I like that name for him. Especially if he was heavily involved in the other 6 break outs. He'd be the actual Jail Breaker.

[@timothy1871]

I love how muscular immediately knew that was Deku, like when they first fought Deku wasn't in his hero costume and now he's wearing a mask so the only way Muscular could have figured it out was his voice, really shows just how much he's thought about there first fight

[@goosygrower419]

Gabe can either predict the entire series or forget the day of the week. No in between

[@goosygrower419]

It's crazy to see how much Deku has progressed. He went from almost dying to Muscular to now one shotting him

[@raec5426]

Let's not forget key assistance with Shindo.

[@AndrewTheKingOfPenguins]

@@raec5426 Yeah but Deku would have still probably clapped Muscular he just would have expelled more energy.

[@raec5426]

@TheKingOfPenguins Yeah, so probably not just one shot, which this comment emphasized.

[@cyanado2697]

5:34 fun fact, the split second deku arrives and hits muscular, there is a frame where it says “SMASH” on impact, it’s really fast but you’ll see it if you check

OMG THAT'S AWESOME 🤯🤯🤩

[@Etch..]

Fun fact, the Manga author/Mangaka officially considers all My Hero Academia media as Canon, aside from the one parody Manga, but in the way as it doesn’t really matter too much to the main story, also a couple points: 1. 45% was shown in the Manga War Arc to be equal to weakened All Might Seasons 1-3 2. The Muscular battle is meant to demonstrate how not many can hope to take on Deku now

[@dartvader6278]

Fantasy light novals and Mha smash are the only non canon stuff. All the rest of stuff like the team up mission, Movies Vig ect.. are canon. Wait i know 30% War arc Deku took a hit from shiggy and was fast enough to Intercept him from getting Aizawa. But did 45% deku ever hurt War arc Shiggy? We know Black Whip could Restrain Shiggy and a 100% hit could Shatter his jaw but i can't remeber him ever hitting Shiggy with 45%. I mostly Scale 45% off of Muscular and Lady Nagant.

[@willfanofmanyii3751]

Hori doesn't consider everything extra as canon, just what he was involved in: The School Novels and the first two movies.

[@dartvader6278]

@@willfanofmanyii3751 ??? School briefs. Mha Vigilantes. Mha Team up mission. And the 3 movies Are all canon. Idk if i missed any other canon stuff but that's all the ones i read/know about. The Fantasy AU Light novels are not canon to mha manga. Mha Smash. Some more gag spin-offs Some Ova's And the games are non canon.

[@alexinator-hh5fe]

There's a running gag that a lot of manga readers like to meme on Shindo. Reason being, in one of the popularity polls, he was just randomly in the top 10. So many characters who could've been there. Who actually are in the story a lot. Yet people voted for him. Memes aside, it's important to note that Deku is hoping to get through a lot of these fights uninjured in order to have energy to fight All For One. Shindo vibrating Muscular to the point that his muscle fibers came loose was very helpful because it allowed Deku to finish the fight quickly. While I still think he could've beat him without the vibrating help, I think it would've been a bit harder and he might've gotten hurt doing it. The phrase is, "Think smarter, not harder." Muscular was fighting harder but neglecting how much damage Shindo actually did. He threw tactics out the window in exchange for a good fight and paid the price. Don't underestimate the power of vibrations. In more ways than one.

[@TheCustodians]

Shindo has definitely been on that grind sense we saw him last.

[@DeltaDrifter2201]

I could have sworn I had some people saying it was a certain person or a certain group that for some reason in Japan just love Shindo for no reason and they ended up spamming votes. Could easily be wrong though. People in Japan are weird af.

[@annaavertho4944]

That was not random though, a lot of people are thirsty af for basically „thot-Deku“. The horny is seriously strong in the MHA fandom…

[@TriStar44]

Shindo is essentially just a more handsome Deku, but secretly his attitude is more like Bakugo. Plus his ultimate move his badass. I think that’s why some people like him so much, despite his relatively insignificant impact on the overall story and plot of MHA.

[@raec5426]

FYI: It was from *Recovery Girl* to help heal people at hospital and advanced medical technology there. So she got to Deku later (a side note left in the manga for chapter 309). Only healing what can be healed.

[@icantbelieveyoudonethis4059]

Finally. Also I can just imagine Gabe is gonna be so happy since he predicted Smokescreen AND was right about the gauntlets.

[@cjd2889]

@@TheCustodians seriously, with the spiderman swing mechanic with black whip. Someone needs to get Insomniac on this...

[@raec5426]

The best part of this fight honestly is Deku’s *development* of trying to understand villains more and coming across a villain that *couldn't* be saved. Deku at least called Muscular by his full name and tried to see if there was more besides his bloodlust, but not able to see anything past that. Realizing he only speaks the language of violence, so the fight is inevitable.

[@raec5426]

*FYI:* Yo Shindo and Tatami Nakagame (Ketsubutsu students from Ms. Jokes' class) are canonically dating, as mentioned in MHA data book in relationship chart.

[@aperson1692]

The whole thing about Muscular potentially going up against the likes of Iida and Ochako reminded me of a Reddit comment I saw of someone saying they think Sato vs Muscular would be a good fight and I was looking at that comment like "Bro that's just first degree murder"

[@raec5426]

I recently commented on that discussion for it. Wanting screentime for minor characters is fair, but makes no sense for a good match up to give Sato fighting spotlight without him being fodder logically.

[@raec5426]

*TIMELINE:* The war took place towards the end of March (ch 257) and it is now sometime in April (ch 306), so not too much time has passed as of now. The prison break was same night of war, then when we cut to see Bakugo in hospital, a transition of 2 days is shown (ch 298). Uraraka narrates transition of 3 days with Pro hero press conference (ch 306), then it shows Deku left. So at least 5 days passed minimum. And note in manga of Recovery Girl to help aid quick recovery to those at hospital (ch 309).

[@samuelkukura3598]

To explain why it is so hard to tell how much time has passed. Sentence "April, Deku left the hero academy". It is the last time data that we have even today in the manga. It is true that once or twice it was said "3 days later" and so on, but without any clarification. Respectively, in the manga we still don't know if we are still in April or May or August and so on.

[@raec5426]

@Samuel Kukura There another mention of time passing somewhere, I believe. I don't think it's still April later.

[@samuelkukura3598]

@@raec5426 I also don't think it's still April. At least month passed for sure. But we don't have any confirmation if I remember correctly

Turtle Neck has a weird quirk. Originally her quirk is described as bein able to collaps into herself in an instant but it takes awhile for her to uncollapse. This is perfect for covert ops and search and rescue missions. However, in the canon mha ultra analysis book, it doesnt mention the drawback of uncollapsing and in fact lists some new supermoves she has that indicate she no longer has it. These moves are called Rocket Punch and Rocket Dash which i can imagine as her uncollapsing her body parts with enough force to move like a hard hitting piston.

[@TheCustodians]

I'm glad they removed her drawbacks. She's already Native Tier in out eyes so she needs all the help she can get.

[@Avarn388]

This episode was awesome. The content being adapted is my favorite in the entire series and the rematch between Deku and Muscular was perfect. I get why some folks wished for that fight to be extended but I liked how Horikoshi handled this. We have to remember that Deku is a very analytical person. Sure, the series will play with this as a gag via muttering but we know he's pretty bright. The fact that he recognized Muscular's quirk and managed to devise a strategy to isolate him(Smokescreen), capture him(Black Whip), and then swiftly took him down upon seeing an opening(upon trying to reason with him) shows a lot of foresight and growth on Deku's part. This is him becoming his OWN hero. Not a copy of All Might or someone else; himself. Thematically, you see this with the OFA quirks we're getting here, like Smokescreen.Something I also appreciated was how mature Deku was in this. Folks like to clown on how much of a cybaby he is, but notice how he's not the one being emotional when confronting his mother. He gave a reasonably explanation for why he can't go back to UA and in his own way is reassuring her that he'll be fine. When you combine this with the vestige conversation and his development, it's fantastic. Also, Deku's costume this arc is awesome. Coolest use of a cowl I've seen in a while.

A funny thing about Shindo is he made it once to the top 10 spot in a popularity pole. Horikoshi himself said that he was so surprised that Shindo made it to the top 10 and immediately after had him get his ass beat by Muscular.

[@xenfast130]

On the topic of "how would Midoriya explain it if a Quirk other than Black Whip manifested first", I've always thought he could make a solid case for himself if Float was the first one to appear. He could just say it was some latent, powered up version of his mom's Quirk that he didn't know he had until then. His mom has a weak telekinesis that can slowly pull objects through the air, so I don't think it's too big a jump to say that became an ability that lets someone stop and float themselves in midair in the next generation, kind of like how Hawks' sensory abilities are probably *much* better than that of his mom's floating eyeballs Quirk.

Welcome to the First Arc of the Final Act Saga, the Dark Deku Arc or the Dark Hero Arc, And we start with some reintroductions to old Characters, the official Introduction of Vigilante Deku, a Rematch with Muscular and a showcasing of how far Deku has come, As well as a callback to what lead into Deku’s current situation, From here on, things are going to get wild and very interesting, I really hope that the Anime does it Justice, if not more in certain areas, i hope this Arc doesn’t disappoint.

[@Kaempfdog]

And here we go. It’s the start of Deku’s exhausted state. Deku has been through SO much and he firmly places it all on his shoulders…and honestly the pro heroes would have likely done the same anyhow. Deku has been exposed to every emotional trauma you can imagine and it’s worn him down more, and more, and more. ESPECIALLY for the war and after. For Empaths we have a unique strain that has started to appear. Can any of you hear how unemotional he is? The last time we saw him like this was the Overhaul arc and his concern for Eri overloaded him til he was unresponsive. That’s an EARLY stage. These are all EARLY stages we’ve seen so far. Imagine what happens as time goes on in this state. I’ll explain more in-depth later but keep in mind today isn’t Deku at his best, he’s quite frankly much closer to his WORST. This is the fight I got inspiration to look into Deku’s OFA development. No quirk should just OUTCLASS 100% OFA which has charged for nearly 200 years. Especially not what we’ve seen All-Might do with it from exploding cities and changing weather. That applies to Muscular’s muscle augmentation, and applies to Grand’s Vibrate. If it really is that great, AFO would’ve taken muscle augmentation the moment he came across Muscular in the jailbreak. And while I DO understand people saying Muscular was heavily weakened by Grand, it’s not in a way that would effect an impact from a LESS THAN HALF FULL SMASH OFA. Deku needed MORE than 100% to beat him last time. I normally tell people his 1,000,000% punch in season 3 was 125% to match the doctor’s hysterical strength calculation because there’s NO WAY body limiters restrain exploded bone and skin. 100 is 100. Not 80. (He tells Deku the human body uses 80% of its abilities consciously with body limiters in the way and 100% in crisis.) Stockpile by nature has been increasing its power CONSTANTLY over the holders lifespans otherwise there would never be a point AFO and OFA become equals. And I doubt it ever decreases BECAUSE the holders maintain their quirk factors and consciousness OVER A CENTURY later. So I use the doctor’s explanation and gave him the same boost for 125. HERE it’s VERY different. Deku only needed 45%. Torn muscles or no, they would still provide MORE than enough cover. And as we see THIS episode Deku is bounding around not unlike All-Might over MUCH greater distances. Not just with float. Each of Deku’s levels increase every other one of Deku’s previous levels because his stockpile grows. And I still whole heartedly believe he used MUCH more than he used against Muscular previously. I still hold Deku’s 100% should be 9x greater than it was in season 1-2 because his control is 9x greater, and he’s using 45% of THAT. 405 of 900. This would provide AMPLE power to not just be stronger but FASTER than Muscular. Deku IS approaching his master’s power. But not the full force. All-Might had ALL the info from Deku’s vestige meeting, but much of it I suspect he at the very least had to have strong suspicions. That means there are 2 sources of OFA. And since we know what the prime of OFA did to AFO’s face…we can all pretty much figure as AMAZING as Deku is physically…none of that can be compared to the 2 biggest moves in MHA. And neither were even on screen. They are whatever All-Might did to AFO’s face, and whatever AFO did to All-Might’s internal organs. Even over Shigaraki’s decay which IS deadlier, but since he’s only at 75%, I doubt it’s as big as it could have been. Deku is approaching injured All-Might. I just have no doubts. And All-Might must retain the rest. Shigaraki no quirks is a little weaker than Injured All-Might. They show the comparison to the 1st Nomu fight. The time we LEARNED All-Might is a fraction of his best. I have no doubt Deku will one day receive the power and surpass it. It’s the nature of OFA. And Deku with the prime, will be the perfect opponent 50-50 vs full power Shigaraki. That’s what this builds to. I figured all this out BECAUSE of this fight with Muscular how Deku must develop in order to have such an INCREDIBLE boost in performance. Also I want to make my final quirk accusation of All-Might right here right now. Sadly it CAN be discounted more than I would’ve liked but it still works EXACTLY the same. All-Might awakened the 6th’s smokescreen. I know it’s purple for Deku. And I know it’s white for All-Might. I want you to side by side how they are animated coming off their bodies. It is IDENTICAL. It leaks off of them. And All-Might used it to cover his transformation. And FAR more smoke appears when All-Might is scared of getting caught. It’s used nearly EXACTLY the same. And before you discount this entirely for the color difference, I’ll point to All-Might’s yellow OFA lightning when he’s about to use the United States of Smash in season 3. Looks EXACTLY the same as Deku’s OFA lightning, just a different color. Used EXACTLY the same. I wish it looked exactly the same, because I would’ve LOVED to see it create proper foggy conditions which is a VERY underrated weather condition. But it seems the quirk/quirks color swap between holders. So this is the full arsenal I predict All-Might had. Prime of OFA, and the 4th, 6th, and 7th quirk. He is quirkless, so all the conditions are in place for All-Might to have awakened quirks as well. Deku is going to awaken ALL of them, he’s going to surpass All-Might, and he has a much more in-depth vestige encounter than All-Might. Deku is still the prodigy student who will blow away all our expectations as the ultimate underdog. But so long as there are 2 known sources of OFA, we can’t guarantee Deku has everything yet. But he will. I would ordinarily explain more emotional nuance as well, but quite frankly ALL of my attention these chapters lands on OFA. (And Deku’s deteriorating emotional state.) I love the rest of this episode and it’s emotions do NOT get me wrong. I REALLY wanted to explain why I made the theory I did because as complicated as it is, it is actually the simplest answer I can see that actually accounts for every crazy phenomena because OFA is CRAZY complicated. It just CAN’T be interpreted as straight-forward based on the rules the show has provided us. It’s not possible for Deku to start from Prime All-Might and build off it, and based on the INSANE progression, it’s not 1% at a time. So here’s my full OFA theory in the replies which I’ll copy/paste and edit to account for the new info like always.

[@Kaempfdog]

Here’s the full OFA theory for context. And I kinda have to split it in 3 parts so it can be digested. This is where I scale All-Might and the general rules of OFA. OFA is obviously INCREDIBLY complex. And figuring out how it evolves is unlike any other superpower especially since not even the previous holders have figured out how it works entirely yet. So here’s what we know. When it is passed, the torch burns brighter and hotter. (No context when that happens though.) The power itself shows no sign of decline EVER yet the users always decline in health when using it beyond personal limitations. (This killed the 4th holder of old age.) And it has to time itself convenient for the show and it not run its potential. So what I can safely rule out is mastering 1% at a time, it does not start from All-Might’s power and build off of it, and I have to prove that the stockpile acts differently than it seems. (I can now actively disprove both 1% at a time and starting from All-Might Power.) So first I have to scale All-Might. There are only 2 lines that give away how strong All-Might’s stockpile was. 1 was in season 2 when he told Deku that he could only use 5% of OFA from what he saw right before his 1st fight with Shinso. Now you’d think he was talking about 5% full cowling he gets soon after. But since all Deku had displayed was 100% at that point, he was referring to what All-Might had passed to Deku. (And we can assume he could only pass his injured 100% since it was post injury.) Or injured All-Might’s maximum. So that means injured All-Might is 2000% to Deku’s initial 100%. Which checks considering Deku actually launched an attack that HAD to be greater than his usual 5% in his fight with All-Might with Bakugo. Red veins, giant wind current the whole shebang. (And that implies a VERY high amount. 20% or more) And all it did was make All-Might move his head to the side. No bruise no nothing. The fact All-Might ends that fight without a scuff on his CLOTHES OR FACE is very telling. Had Deku started from prime All-Might level and was only using 5% of it, he would be TRIPLE Injured All-Might. So it’s NOT possible Deku is on the spectrum of the prime. (And Deku can’t change weather even in the sky so he must be weaker than his master.) And then we scale Prime All-Might. Who was 60x stronger in his prime. (5 hits to the 300 mighty blows line.) And that is not an exaggeration because of his AFO fight. His prime knocked off AFO’s face and put him through COUNTLESS surgeries for 6 years. His United States of Smash as iconic as it was, was nothing more than a bruise on AFO’s cheek, and AFO was unconscious for no more than a few minutes. And since that is literal, Prime All-Might is at a whopping 120,000%. And since All-Might likely went into hysterics in season 3 for that punch, and it was beyond his 100% to 125%. Hysterical strength level is 125% according to the doctor because the stockpile is not apart of their bodies and therefore not 80% to 100% and also how Deku used it against Muscular. (Also not sure what body limiters are in the way when your skin and bone blows right off your arm if you don’t have full control.) Plus levels beyond 100% exist, it’s the nature of stockpile, one of the two powers MEANT to have more than 100% with the equal AFO. That means his prime still exists in his body. And OFA didn’t give out, but his body was no longer able to handle its use anymore. Both explaining All-Might’s time limit and why he still holds his muscle form now. (AND him being able to STILL receive OFA information after retiring.) His body is just too trashed to manage OFA now. So now I had to find a system to get Deku to 2000% from his 100% at a steady pace. And I came up with Deku’s 100% must grow as much as his maximum control. Which just so happened to fit PERFECTLY. Both with collateral compensating, and still following the rules of OFA. This is where it’s going to get complicated. XD

This is the 2nd part and it’s where I scale Deku across the show. So scaling Deku’s progression all starts from his building destroying punch against Bakugo and Iida in Season 1. He COMPLETELY hollowed out that office training building. So when he moved from 0% control to 5% full cowling, we can look at what Deku at 5% can do. He couldn’t even bruise hero killer Stain until a VERY conditional punch with Iida help, or Muscular, and barely even freaking Bakugo when he punched him in final exams. His 100% did not increase since he had no control. Also his wall bounces left no trace at all. Also worth noting Deku can fight at any % so long as it isn’t over his max control. Then the only other option is his 100% and hysterical strength. Max Control- 5% Maximum Output- 100% (Against Todoroki) Hysterical Output- 125% (1,000,000% punch against Muscular.) And then he made a HUGE collateral jump vs the Bakugo rematch from 5% to 8%. And his moves started getting CRAZY. He could kick clean through walls in the hassakai base. His wall bounces left dents on the Nighteye office walls. (There were no footprints on the floor in that office fight so Deku didn’t have dirty shoes and we hear his shoes squeaking in the fight.) And his 1st 8% axe kick to Bakugo was so fast it left a literal burn on his arm. Not a bruise, not torn skin, it was drawn like Todoroki’s scar. So a burn on a kid with heat resistance as an asset to his quirk. 5% full cowling now- 8% (5% of 160) Max Control- 12.8% (8% of 160 fighting Bakugo and Nighteye) Max Output- 160% (8/5=1.6 1.6X100 is 160 and is never seen) Hysterical Strength-200% (160X1.25 also never seen) And then in the Overhaul fight, he forced his body to 20%. Although it hurt him, his body had no external damage, and the 1st holder said he was controlling 20% even though it still hurt to use it at that level when he told him we are long past the singularity point at the beginning of season 5. His bounces could suddenly destroy the surfaces he bounced off of. A stationary stomp literally made enough collateral to create a crater and uproot enough ground to block Overhaul’s spike creations. And his finger SNAPS at 20% created enough wind pressure to snap right through a full grown tree and blow over several surrounding trees that were equally fully grown when demonstrating for All-Might. (That is already VERY close to Deku’s building hollowing attack in season 1.) and in the AvB arc his finger snaps were generating enough air to literally blast holes in concrete walls and steel pipes. 5% full cowling now- 20% (5% of 400) 8% full cowling now- 32% (8% of 400 fighting Shinso) Max Control- 80% (20% of 400 fighting Overhaul without Eri) Maximum Output- 400% (20/8=2.5 2.5X160=400. This was Infinite 100% with Eri.) Hysterical Strength- 500% (400X1.25 never seen or when he takes off Overhaul’s mask. That’s the only time it could’ve happened.) And then there is where Deku was in the war arc. I’ll be actively updating this section throughout this season. As I need the scenes animated so I can make judgements on what’s changed. 5% full cowling now- 45% (5% of 900) 8% full cowling now- 72% (8% of 900) 20% full cowling now- 180% (20% of 900) 30% full cowling- 270% (30% of 900 Bakugo this episode) Max Control- 405% (45% of 900 Deku’s point of impact and I assume Bakugo’s gauntlets and what he uses to beat Muscular round 2.) Maximum Output- 900% (45/20=2.25 2.25X400=900 and what he has to use on AFO Shigaraki. He breaks his jaw sure, but considering the attacks he had withstood already from Endeavor the damage was actually MORE than it ordinarily would do because the fire would make AFS kinda goopy.) Hysterical Strength- 1,125% (1.25X900 and can honestly be made for a case on MANY moves, but I’m going to go with the Texas smash when he pushes Shigaraki’s hand out of the way. Seemed to be bigger there.) Taking this path no matter what Deku does, when he masters 100%, he will be at 2000%. I did the math trust me. EXACTLY injured All-Might level. So he should be a bit stronger than Shigaraki no quirks. (Which is said to be a bit weaker than All-Might when he battled the 1st Nomu. The time we LEARN he’s 1/60th of his former strength.) STILL not done.

[@Kaempfdog]

OK! This is the 3rd and final part of the OFA theory. It’s mainly extra details I’ve worked out for the narrative and other facets that complete what I said in the last two. Now all that is left is to find out how Deku gets All-Might’s full 120,000% from his prime and moves past it to surpass All-Might as the next holder. And there is only one solution. All-Might is a flaming vestige and OFA is always described as a raging inferno. (And noticeably still in the vestige world which fits since he can’t use it.) And the man who looks like a walking inferno in OFA likely has the vast abundance. All-Might still has his muscle form. Signs shown All-Might has to have the prime. (All-Might has a throne in OFA just like everyone else in the vestige world, yet Deku doesn’t. And since everyone is clear, the clarity is the control since they all mastered 100% and Deku is covered in LESS fog but about 55% of his body is covered 45% is uncovered, and the throne is the prime.) So my guess is Deku will not have access to prime All-Might power until All-Might dies. Becoming a full vestige and FINALLY transferring the remainder. And since Deku had already mastered 100% presumably at that point, he will IMMEDIATELY be able to access and use the rest with no recoil. And since Deku has the stockpile ability, nothing is stopping Deku to simply stockpile past that. Which I presume he stockpiles whenever he is using full cowling. At the same rate as before. Won’t do the math here at this point but let’s keep the numbers tidy and say maximum power Prime OFA Deku will end at 150,000%. But there is no limit to the stockpile once 100% is mastered and that is when it is on par with AFO. Since both have limitless potential. I believe All-Might will get one last hurrah with OFA in his prime to show us what Deku will surpass courtesy of Eri. (Who just HAS to exist for that purpose.) And he will fight AFO’s true body who will also get to Eri for his prime to show us what Shigaraki is surpassing. (AFO can’t steal rewind as that is FAR too broken for the narrative.) And as a one and done All-Might and AFO should fittingly kill each other and BOTH boost their successors to their maximum potentials. Just spit balling for Shigaraki. There’s not much room for possibility there, he needs to learn how to combine quirks better to master his potential I’m pretty sure. Also few things I missed. I believe All-Might as a quirkless OFA holder had access to other quirks. Wording from his denial, and how the other vestiges talk about completion tells me there was another attempt for it to become completed. And I think All-Might unlocked 3 quirks. The 4th, the 6th, and the 7th quirk. The fact All-Might knows the next quirk Deku will awaken is Nana’s when the 5th quirk awakened last is VERY suspect. Because there is NO signal to believe it will go 5th quirk, then the 7th. So my guess is All-Might had this one. He also had an in-depth vestige encounter with Nana from the look of it in season3. Smokescreen is the most obvious one despite the different color. And danger sense fits his feat of stopping organized crime REALLY well and he found the 4th holder based on a 2nd hand description of the 5th. Which he did NOT know at all, but he found the hermit holder no problem. That’s…not feasible in the slightest without knowing who he was in advance. Also an extra quirk is used at the same level as max control. Blackwhip caused the same collateral level as Deku’s finger snaps when it went out of control in season 5, and it’s why Uraraka isn’t dead halfway in season 5. Deku will need all the quirks MASTERED rather than just unlocked for him to stand a chance against 100% AFO Shigaraki. AND have the prime which will HAVE to be improved in Deku’s possession for the torch to grow brighter and hotter analogy to come true. Y’know for any inevitable 1v1 Super saiyan Goku vs 100% Freeza fight in the finale of the show. And also every time that Deku progresses his % control, his bone damage lessens. When at 5% he went 20x his limitations to use 100%, but now that he’s 45% he’s only going only a little over twice his limitations. Which fits the doctors explanation after he wakes up from his OFA coma. I think that sums up my thoughts of OFA. You need to remember EVERYTHING in the show to truly understand this power because it is BONKERS complicated and everyone thinks it’s simple. And as nuts as it is ALREADY, it’s STILL not done getting complicated as there are STILL more quirks to be seen and added to this!

@@Kaempfdog adding to your danger sense with all might, in vigilantes we do see his "Might Sense" which seems more like an ability/skill rather than the manifestation of Danger Sense. However, he was able to sense that there was danger BEFORE an all might alarm system went off that nighteye was tracking. Now the closest we've seen to this kind of thing with another pro is Endeavor and the city around his agency. He was able to pick up on danger and react to it before even the big three knew what was happening. It could just be a skill that seasoned pro heroes pick up with experience, but that is just smthg to think about with regards to it possibly being Danger Sense.

[@Kaempfdog]

@@tobofu5978 we have discussed danger sense with All-Might before, but it’s more he found and knew who the 4th holder was…when he was a hermit and didn’t have anything to go off of that would give him away other than a 2nd hand description of the 5th holder. And since an OFA holder isn’t registered, there is just no shot he didn’t have more awareness of the 4th holder than he lets on. I just plugged danger sense into the info we knew about his time with OFA in full use where it would make most sense to fill that gap. And I mentioned his skills as a hero are unrivaled sure, but to suppress organized crime without some sort of radar to the SMARTEST criminals is NOT easy. We mentioned his billboards that would tell him where to look, but then there’s the places he doesn’t have them. And the method you mention is also dependent on getting All-Might all the info he needs that fast. It’s merely a suspect spot. It’s the impossibly known history that raises my attention.
