Can't blame you for thinking All Might would die in season 1. He collects death flags like Deku collects All Might merch.

[@phantom9831]

like deku collects broken bones and hospital beds

[@BabyClap]

Essentially, All for One’s brother’s original quirk was useless until he was given the quirk to stockpile power. Before that, his quirk had no power to pass down, just the ability to be able to pass something on. So the brother used these powers in combination to create what is known as One for All. A quirk that stockpiles the power of its owners, and can be passed down, one user to the next, until it’s strong enough to beat All for One

[@KevinJusticeWarrior]

Stockpiling here means that each time one for all is passed on, that persons strength stays with one for all. Therefore when you pass it on you now have the strength of everyone previously put together. The brothers quirk was to pass on quirks. The fact he didn’t know isn’t really just because he didn’t decide to use it before, it’s because there wasn’t anything to pass on. Technically with the way quirks work you could have a quirk that makes you able to walk like .5% faster and no one including yourself would ever know I.e a useless quirk. When he got one for all the useless quirk became useful and the rest is history being told now because I think Deku is narrating this story in past tense considering episode 1

[@yehonatanduek8705]

I see your profile picture is of our great leader, well done

[@troyareyes]

I never understood why AFO chose "stockpiling" of all quirks to give to his brother. Wouldnt stockpiling also be a useless quirk on its own as well?

[@dairyqueensagain9776]

Facts Brother

[@KevinJusticeWarrior]

@@troyareyes That’s why it’s believed he was trying to make his brother submit aka go brain dead/subservient like nomu is. The power you give doesn’t matter, since his brother was frail he probably believed any quirk would be enough to do just that.

[@catwhowalksbyhimself]

@@troyareyes It's actually explained later on. The brother was physically very weak and most quirks would actually hurt him to use. Even if it couldn't be passed on, the stockpiling quirk would still make him gradually stronger over time as it gathered power together. Gradually enough for his weak body to adapt. The ability to pass it on made a moderately useful but not very powerful quirk into something downright broken.

[@naghar9827]

When All Might says that One for All can't be stolen, be it can be _transferred_ by force, it means that if One for All's holder tricks or coerces someone into ingesting their DNA, they can chose to pass it without the recipient's consent.

[@KurNorock]

"He had a useless quirks that could pass on quirks." That means he had a quirk that could pass on quirks. But it was useless because he had no other quirks to pass on.

[@luckypanda7707]

All for one and his brother are from the first generation of quirks. All for one is a couple hundred years old. The younger brother is long dead

[@johanstenfelt1206]

Hm, i think you misunderstood the reason why they thought the Younger Brother was Quirkless, his Quirk was called useless for a reason.

[@embrefrosste6044]

“Why would they show us all the hands?” Because Horikoshi likes drawing hands.

[@Arashi257]

For real?

[@bakagakure6435]

“Eat this!”

[@ManuelFresh100]

It cracked me up when Deku said “Eat this,” in All Might face lol

[@1toosaucay]

He didn't said eat this

[@DaveH82]

@@1toosaucay 12:29 ?

[@loco_logic]

Yeah, just using the word "stock" might have been a little awkward in that case. The sentence probably would've flowed better if they used "accumulate" or even "stockpile".

[@navifairy6287]

The hands have been knocked off before. During the USJ attack the one that covers Shigaraki's face got knocked off. He said "Sorry, father" before putting it back on.

[@Narutonarutonaruto85]

I hadn't watched the sub before. I guess the wording is a bit odd in this version. I can be helpful to think of the two base quirks as "stockpile" and "transfer". Transfer doesn't really do anything on it's own, since all it does is transfer itself, which is why the younger brother didn't appear to have one. This was like 100 years ago, so being quirkless was far more comment then than it is now. Stockpile allows you to build up power without back sliding. I don't really see why All For One would give his little brother a longevity quirk. The first time he gave him a quirk it came back to bite him, although that did take a while. It likely would of been worse if he had given the younger brother longevity as well, assuming he could find a duplicate longevity quirk back then. This is also assuming he found the quirk while his brother was still alive. For all we know All For One found the longevity quirk in what would normally be his later years.

[@naqib_2365]

This is why I don't get people who guessed the female titan was Annie based on the blonde hair and eyes. Lots of anime characters randomly look similar with no relation between them, here shigaraki and All for one's brother.

[@KurNorock]

"That looks just like him!" It's a dude with longish hair. That's it. Lots of people in anime look the same due to the style of the art. That is why so many anime have crazy hair styles, hair colors, scars, or some other ridiculous thing to make one character stand out compared to others.

[@jennybe4766]

Even though Deku didn't win the race, I was so proud of him! My boy finally didn't have to hurt himself anymore while using his power.

[@KevinJusticeWarrior]

How would that be shigaraki if the younger brother passed his quirk and decay wasn’t one of them. White hair is common in anime although I guess there is a resemblance from their more worn down appearance!

[@KurNorock]

Yes, their ability to miss every single detail and jump to the weirdest conclusions never ceases to amaze me.

[@BlazingInferno00]

To be honest it could be his resemblance that is the main reason that all for one chose him, besides the one they'll find out later that is. Kind of a reason he wouldn't want to admit to because it shows attachment to his younger brother still

[@yehonatanduek8705]

10:49 I know right? I would've never guessed that Sero liked citrus!

[@daltonferreira46]

Great reaction girls, it’s always so nice to see you theorizing about this stuff and so into the story arc. Please note that this episode has the villain alias too: All For One. While One For All is Deku’s quirk, All For One is the bad guy. Greetings from Brazil.

[@skribe]

Shigaraki is not All For One's brother they just had similar hair.

[@justin_g6187]

The useless power is kind of like being born without legs, but turns out you have the power to jump incredibly high. Youre kinda quirkless, but really you have a quirk that nobody knows about because you're unable to use it.

[@alexinator-hh5fe]

Man, if Stain was able to freeze everyone with his sheer presence and bloodlust, I'd hate to see what All For One could do. As for Shigaraki, we'll just have to see

[@mrrd4444]

Ngl I think y'all need to watch the next season in English dub bc you're missing a lot with the subs (not that the subs are lacking, just that it seems like they don't sink in on your first viewing and you might not always get to go back and review it). Even basic stuff gets lost because you mix up verbs and nouns, and it feels like you'll understand more if you don't have to be uncertain about how it translates in English.

[@novalunas]

i’ve been watching you guys, without leaving a comment really, for half a year now, and i honestly can say that i enjoy your reactions and insightful thoughts on the episodes genuinely soo much! you guys are the only reaction youtubers i frequently watch, because of your genuine good content and reactions; most reactioners (?) just overexaggerate without really understanding the plot nor the characters, but that’s really the opposite case for morgan and sam! also y’all fawning over the characters is so cute and relatable lmaoo!! i’m so excited for you guys to start season three soon, since it is my favorite mha one and look forward to hearing your thoughts and seeing your reactions again

[@TheReactPack]

Thank you for the lovely comment and sticking by us 🤍🤍 -Sam

One of my favorite Episodes in Season 2.

oh Morgan made a great seal sound getting to the ep lets go

[@breakwoodhopper6739]

Shigaraki is a teenager he’s no to much older than deku soo probably not him

[@unicornburger16]

He’s like 19 at the youngest. I’m guessing he’s ~22 years old.

[@breakwoodhopper6739]

@@unicornburger16 he's about 20 I think he just acts young I thought he was 17 or 18 not gonna lie

[@unicornburger16]

@@breakwoodhopper6739 he definitely feels younger early on, I think as time passes and he stops having as many tantrums it’s easier to see him as ~20 years old.

[@CrisC81]

Yea it was confusing, and maybe these is something more. (I'm just an anime watcher, and I haven't seen S5) but yea y'all right, I agree with what y'all said. The first holder of one for all is not Shigiraki but they did make it confusing lol

@ThePreator 11 Nah immobilizng the robots is not counted they had to destroy them person who destroys most robots gets most points Present Mic explained it clearly I still remember it.

[@gamemaher]

@ThePreator 11 Yeah Horikoshi said Mineta gunked up the robots by leaving his sticky balls around as traps for them, and also by clogging their cannons with the balls to make them not able to fire or fire and blow up the cannon. I don't remember the robots having cannons, but that's what Hori said so that's the answer. Curious how Hagakure got in with just invisibility tho
