I wonder if they'll ever bring up the fact that One for All can seemingly make you more durable (based upon the fact that All Might was able to tank Bakugou's really strong explosion and handle a bunch of punches from that really strong Noumu). I'm guessing that they'll just ignore that aspect with Deku (for the same reason All Might using OfA doesn't get the electric visual effect, etc).

i feel like deku still isn't using the power exactly the way allmight does. he seems to wear it like a cloak instead of allmight who pushes it more internally and can use it to beef up. but if it can help repel mind controll i'm sure durability isn't out of the question

I always figured that the training to sustain/contain OfA was what made him so durable. So Deku will get more durable as his body learns to handle more and more of OfA.

I think this is the case. For cooking you want the right amount of heat, too much and you'll ruin the food and destroy your equipment. Right now Deku is a cheap, thin teflon frying pan. At his peak All Might was a nice thick based cast iron pan that was properly seasoned.

When he does 50 more fights All Might calls him and asks if he wants to move to BakuStyle.
50 more and he asks again for UraStyle.

I think One For All has to have some element where it makes you tougher.

All Might's current body was completely loving wrecked and he could still no-sell pretty ridiculous attacks. I think that Midoriya is just using the power wrong and will have some sort of epiphany about it later.

The best way I can describe it is to look at it how Ki is looked at in Korean martial art fantasies- Ki isn't just energy that lets you shoot energy blasts or punch over buildings; you have to properly circulate it in your body for long periods of time to toughen it up and you have to use it properly when you strike or you blow your limbs off.

Midoriya really reminds me of Shioon from The Breaker in a lot of ways.

This is actually explained in an omake. His dad's sweat is some very mildly explosive/sparking acidic compound that he can't trigger at all- only through other forms of ignition.

His mom's quirk was that her skin very slightly excretes glycerine which apparently makes her skin really nice all the time.

Combined, you get exploding sweat. How Bakugou magically triggers it with his brain, I dunno.

Which all goes back to All Might's main character flaw as a mentor character being that he is actually terrible at teaching. Which I think is really interesting, it makes sense that someone with such a unique power wouldn't necessarily be good at telling other people how it works. We also still don't know exactly what the circumstances were that All Might was in when he first got the OfA, or how long it took him to really get the hang of it. It could work differently for every inheritor because it has more power every time!

Yeah, All Might was a natural, which is one reason why he was so bad at teaching his successor to use it. He never had to think about it before.

Midoriya's idolization of All Might has also been a big road block against just going along with what would naturally feel right for the power, on top of his usual overthinking.

It's also interesting getting the perspective of the person a character like Deku fights, in the sense that fighting a person who always comes up with plans/countermeasures would be pretty scary (you'd constantly be second-guessing yourself and worrying that he might have seen through whatever you're about to do).

It's been theorized before in the thread that it's something like Deku only putting O4A into his muscles, and that if he put it into his bones/skin, he'd gain more durability/nigh invulnerability.

It's unknown if that means splitting up his O4A boosts to make sure some is going to his bones, or if it would be just an expanded version of Full Cowl.

I think the real basis for the difference is that Deku still sees One For All as a power he turns on and off. All Might seems to have always used it as a core part of himself, we've never seen him not look like All Might except for after his near fatal fight with All For One. In the flashbacks he simply appears to have incorporated the power into himself, not only seeing as there was never any visualization of the power usage but because he always looked like All Might.

All Might became Superman and Deku still thinks of himself as Captain Marvel.

Only if he did things 100% all the time. Superman goes to the store, cooks dinner, and writes up articles while still being able to bench the planet at any given moment. Deku finally figured out that he can use just a portion of his power, but he still flips the switch to get there. There's nothing keeping him from always using the power and just usually using 0.0002% of full power when answering the phone.

Like how you don't answer your phone with all your possible strength, or even anywhere approaching a noticeable amount of your full power.

Really it's very impressive how All Might just immediately started using it right and can't understand how Deku isn't getting it because of that.

The enemy of my enemy is my enemy.
In terms of 'holy crap this attack he's yelling sounds awesome' G Gundam actually kind of goes backwards. Burning Finger's callout is the weakest of sauces compared to 'MY LOVE MY ANGER AND ALL OF MY SORROW!'

Even the normal callout is better. 'This Hand of Mine Glows with an AWESOME POWER' compared to 'this hand of mine is burning red.'

... Now I'm just thinking of Bakugou calling out his attacks like that. 'My name is Baron Explodokills. Deku! I'm ready! Take this! My sweat my tears and every ounce of my burning blood! Exploding Finger!'

Nah G Gundam actually aged pretty well, it's just that those clips are from the start of the show where everyone was still finding their groove.

Incidentally Domon's VA quit voice acting afterwards to be a dentist since it payed more. He was another casualty of 2016--died of cancer according to his friend on Twitter.
