Now I have to live the rest of my life wondering what it would have been like for the future successor if Todoroki inherited One For All instead.
How much more powerful would Half-Cold Half-Hot become once enhanced by One For All?
Anyway, I like Hellboy a lot! He seems like a very nice guy. Although I kinda wish we got a name for him so that we don't need to refer to him as "Goggles" or "Hellboy" or "Black Whip Guy" or whatever. Overall, while I'm cautious of how easily this can ruin things, I'm very excited for this development. I'm also... honestly glad that the match has been continued? I was saying before how they should stop the match because Deku was in terrible pain and all that, but I guess this chapter made it not look as bad? It changed how I felt anyway. Especially after seeing the other students still ready to fight. The teachers probably should've at least called a time out or something though.
As for One For All and the "6 quirks" Hellboy mentioned, I believe he was referring to Nana's quirk, Black Whip, and the four (because we're not including the original) others before him. Assuming Hellboy is sixth, anyway. One For All itself is still the combination of the power stockpiling quirk as well as the quirk transference quirk, similar to how Half-Cold Half-Hot is the combination of Hellflame and Rei's quirk.
This is how I see it:
- All For One's little brother: One For All (quirk transference + power stockpiling)
- Second wielder: Unknown quirk
- Third wielder: Unknown quirk
- Fourth wielder: Unknown quirk
- Fifth wielder: Unknown quirk
- "Hellboy": Black Whip
- Nana Shimura: Unknown quirk
- Toshinori Yagi: None
- Izuku Midoriya: None
There are six quirks aside from what Deku's been using all this time. The translation I read said "[Deku's] going to manifest six different quirks" which can be interpreted in a few ways... One is that from now on Deku will be able to use a total of six different quirks, including "vanilla One For All," i.e. super strength. Another is that he'll be able to use six
other quirks on top of the super strength. Hopefully Caleb's translation will be clearer on this. Not that it matters too much since I'm fairly certain what Hellboy meant was that Deku would be able to use the quirks of the other predecessors. There are six other predecessors excluding All Might and All For One's little brother. Simple as that.
One last thing: I hope Black Whip is the only other quirk Deku will have access to before the school year ends. Plus I hope it takes him a really long time to master it. Although... I wonder if what he used was Black Whip at 100% since Hellboy said it's now been enhanced by One For All as well.
Yeah, I really like that quirk! So the stories in my "main" universe are all in the future, post WWIII and about 100 years out. Aesthetically it's very much Cyberpunk like Blade Runner or Akira, but it's structured more like a comic book/manga. It's an ensemble cast of teens(15-17) all with unique abilities and origins who end up forming a reluctant team sponsored by the government. I switch POV between the six leads to keep things kinetic, and I love writing the action scenes. Theres more I can tell you about if you're interested but some stuff I wanna keep close to the chest because I'm hoping to get it published and start a series.
But yeah, my main passion is writing. Books, movies, and tv shows. I want to do all three and hopefully one day even get my own production company so I can make my own stuff and help people make movies or adapt material into movies faithfully. I also have ideas for a Street Fighter or Resident Evil movie. I'll build up enough clout and then hit Capcom with the pitch
That sounds interesting! I like it! So is it a dystopia where the government is bad and that's why the characters are reluctant to be in a team sponsored by them...? I'd love to learn more if you don't mind sharing.
Ooh damn, that is an awesome passion and goal. I wish you luck, my man! Don't forget us little people once you hit the big leagues though! (๑ಥ﹏ಥ)ﻭ Would your ideas for a Street Fighter and/or Resident Evil movie be adaptations though? Or brand new stories? Either would be tricky, but especially the former since you'd have to squeeze the story down to two hours or so...
Speaking of Resident Evil, I tried the one-shot demo. It was fun! Not nearly as scary as I thought so maybe I'll be fine with playing RE2 after all. It's seriously tempting me to get the game on release, which is a problem because I'm getting Kingdom Hearts III for sure. Not only is that an issue financially speaking but it's kind of a waste to have two games when I'll be pre-occupied with either one more. It's probably smarter to get RE2 at a later date... but I really enjoyed the demo and hated the short time I had to play it. Tsk. I'm still worried as hell for the Lickers though, lol.
It's less about the length and more about the current arc dosent feel like one of the more important arcs to the overall series compared to the B Rank Wars. I just don't feel like the arcs compare fairly. That and the structure is different anyway so it's hard to compare directly.
Anyway I would also recommend that you check out Chippo's translation for the Databook if you want some more cool extra stuff. Ashihara answered 303 questions in it so it's definitely fun stuff.

Oh that's true, the arcs shouldn't really be compared directly like this. They share some similarities but they're pretty different in significant ways. As I believe I mentioned before, I was only bringing it up since others reference it before I started World Trigger.
Thanks for the link! That sounds interesting and I don't think I would have ever known about something like that. What's "BBF" stand for though...? Just curious.
We already have had glimpses of Deku at 100% and he's comparable to All Might.
Oh. This reminds me of how some people complained that we've already seen Deku at 100% and thus have kind of been spoiled at what he's gonna be like in the future. This latest development totally destroys that notion because Deku at full power is probably gonna make All Might seem like last year's news.
Since Nana was Shigaraki's grandma, she may have had a similar quirk as Shiggy. Something along the lines of deterioration in her vicinity, which was amplified by OfA when she got it. That's why she was never shown using it. And maybe in her final fight against AfO, she sent All might away for this reason only, so that her quirk may not hurt AM.
Hellboy said that One For All has only amplified the quirks now, and Deku's Black Whip is a hell of a lot stronger than his originally was when he was using it. So whatever Nana's quirk was was unlikely to have been enhanced. I'm inclined to think Nana's quirk isn't anything like Shigaraki's Decay... since he's the grandson so a lot could have changed on the way. There's whatever Nana's son's quirk was that we have to consider, as well as the quirk of his wife. The addition of the wife's quirk could have been what ultimately created Decay for all we know.
