My Hero Academia: Season 5 |OT| We Are Deku

- Anime/Manga OT
The One for All reveal is so fucking ridiculous for this arc I have no idea how to process it. Was NOT ready for that. Really, it's perfect that you're gonna drop a bomb like that in the middle of this slow paced arc (nothing wrong with slow paced arcs either, even if people tend to hate them).

Interesting that mostly everyone seems to be immediately on board with this new revelation about the nature of OfA. It broke the fandom in half when it happened in the manga, at least that's what it felt like. I gotta admit I didn't like the idea at first but I've warmed up to it. It helps that this new quirk is basically Spider-Man's webs

I'm either gonna go with this or
Season 5 |OT| Does Whatever A Spider Can
Keep the Spider-Man related OTs going
I'm excited that the greatest superpower to ever exist is more than super strength and the will of the people. Now he's Mega Man
Pretty much most of the Anime Onlys I've seen were hyped about the 6 quirks revelation which is a pleasant surprise compared to how Manga readers reacted
It helps that it was dealt with quickly instead of feeling like it dragged like in the manga.
This is why I think it works well and also it makes sense asthe true counter All for One
I mean it kind of made sense. I think the weirder part was that it took so long to go there.
It was more split than universally disliked. I'd say it was generally positively received over time though, once people saw how it was executed.
The anime reaction seems pretty positive though which is neat to see
I think one reason that Anime onlies are reacting better is that BONES did a good job of animating how destructive and out of control Black Whip was when it first manifested compared to the manga, makes it really feel like Deku is out of his depth with this new Quirk.
I said earlier in a spoiler tag I'm pretty sure this arc exists purely so this didn't happen in an actual villain fight because then it would seem like more of a convenient power up lmao
I mean he's still so young and new to quirks in general so I kind of get it. Especially whenAll Might never had this either
Oh right, I've seen people call him that but luckily I've never seen Avatar so that didn't mean anything to me lol
My issue is that it was poorly telegraphed, Deku is conveniently the first OfA user to ever do this, and finally that it felt like an overreaction for the original issue of OfA being a very boring powerset. Thought he'd get an additional quirk or enhancement at best given the scene on his bedroom from earlier, not six additional quirks lol
I highly recommend it and I'm not western animation guy. Takes a while to get used to but once it does, it clicks and the animations are solid. I watched it last summer + Korra thanks to Netflix.
There's something visceral about seeing someone getting punched into oblivion. Deku has that power but since he didn't know how to utilize OFA, he busted up his arms. It makes sense that he'll be able to tap into the quirks of his predecessors because all of them had a quirk of their own plus OFA. OFA is mad OP now. He has OFA plus 7 more quirks and we don't know if Deku has a quirk of his own yet. I still remember his mom taking him that shady ass doctor.
So Deku has all these quirks that are amplified by OFA and he still has speed and his brain to utilize. He's gonna be a hero that's gonna attack villains from all angles like Spiderman.
The execution could have been better, but I honest thought it was going to happen from the start
Punching really hard vs a guy with endless quirks is boring indeed
And the fact that OFA was closely related with endless quirk man
The only thing I didn't see coming was that it would be from previous OFA users. I figured it would be closer to Rouge's steal
I actually think the author is a mega man fan iirc
Damn should have waited, went for Episode 3 all the way to latest, now i have to wait the week..

Mega Man X is GOATed. Hori has always had good taste. I believe there was an earlier reference as well during the UA entrance exam. Shame they have to cut those out of the anime
Actual line during the stain arc btw
Assumedly the previous wielders of OfA had their own original quark before inheriting it.
Only All Might and Deku were Quirkless, all the previous users had a quirk ontop of receiving OFA

Only Deku and All Might were quirkless iirc. So all the other previous wielders had their own quirks when they got OfA. Deku is accessing the original quirk of previous holders
All Might was actually looking to give it to someone at UA before he met Deku. We learned that Mirio was the prime candidate in the last couple seasons and he has a quirk.
I thought One for All recipients were quirkless. I guess that's just a Deku and All Might thing. Or some kinda retcon from mangaka. Ehhhh. Deku gonna be OP as fuck. I guess something will come up to depower his ass like how his body has been supposedly all messed up forever now.
And what's the deal with society in this universe. There's like no generational difference between the One For All users.

I mean, most of them died pretty young. Presumably the generation gap isn't actually that big.
Oh right. I remember that confusing me too. For some reason I thought it would replace his current quirk.
Its relation to AfO and its ability to stack quirks is probably related too.
Also I kinda get the Avatar comparisons, but Deku isn't letting Banjo take over his body or anything. Though it would be hilarious to see a body-snatched Deku interact with his friends. Banjo would probably try and kill Bakugou
After his fight with Overhaul I was thinking "Yeah, All Might should've given it to this dude"
He probably would've been able to phase through reality.

I want to say the first wielder(AfO's little brother) was quirkless as well
So the first, All Might and Deku were quirkless but the other 6 had quirks

Ohhh this is good too
All for One's brother had a quirk initially. He could pass it on to anyone he wanted. That's it, no other abilities. All for One gave him the power stockpiling ability, thinking he was quirkless. Those two merged into One for All.

This gets explained later but I can't really say more without spoiler tag
