I'm betting on the "traitor" being a sleeper agent that was brainwashed by AfO and doesn't realize they're leaking info to the League.

It honestly would not surprise me if the quirk copier in Class 1B is like, AfO's grandson. Seems like a scheme he'd cook up for laughs.

I'm pretty sure Aizawa just turns off 'activated quirks' full stop. AfO probably couldn't steal quirks if Aizawa was shutting him off or do any of his other activated abilities, but any permanent enforcement quirks would still be on.

If AfO has a few quirks that let him live for hundreds of years, I wonder if Aizawa erasing his quirks would just outright kill him? Especially now that he's in such poor health.

The way it's been explained is that activated quirks are like flexing a muscle.

So, imaging clenching your buttcheeks. Sure, you could clench your buttcheeks for like 18 hours a day, sleep 6 hours a day, and increase your lifespan by a lot.

But man that's improbable. Like, try clenching your buttcheeks for a long time. While sitting there doing nothing, sure. But while talking on the phone? Reading? Walking? You don't even realize it and your rear end is all jiggly again.

It's probably Deku and All Might because it'll turn out that AfO is connected to them through OfA's origin.

Probably because Aizawa would just, you know, turn his quirk off. He kinda needs that to steal quirks. Presumably, anyone with a similar quirk would do the same.

Most of them probably did what Nana did and attacked him after passing OfA on, specifically so it wouldn't die with them if they failed.

If Monoma tried to copy A4O's quirk, would he get all of his quirks, or just the ability to steal quirks?

It might have just been because of the simple fact that if quirks get more powerful through having kids, then him fathering a kid could have produced a horrifically powerful monster that he had no guarantee he could control, or even take the quirk of in a worst case scenario. Finding someone he could manipulate and control would be much easier and less dangerous to him on a personal level.

Yeah, that was literally the first use of his power we saw. Which is a pretty good way to sell how good his quirk is, on a tangent, having it just shut down the power of the greatest hero there is, even if it's now in someone else's hands. It wasn't until USJ that we learned there were things it couldn't shut down.

On a tangent, USJ also had him canceling Shigaraki's power mid-disintegration, which is kind of weird if you think about it. It implies that, while Shigaraki just needs a touch to activate his power and not prolonged contact, something in him powers the destruction even after contact is broken, even though he can't turn it off himself. That, or Horikoshi didn't have everything worked out at that time.

I'm sure that if pressed Horikoshi can say that Shigaraki's disintegration is powered by microorganisms that die if his quirk is deactivated.

Oh, yeah, you can justify it. Not saying it has to be a mistake or anything. It's just weird when you start to think about it, now that we know more about how the quirks involved work, and it implies things about the particulars of Shiggy's power. Things that may or may not be relevant or even get explained ever, but still.

Shiggy's power has always continuously worked after touch. It's also how it killed overhaul's throwaway shield goon- he touched him then the guy continued to disintegrate afterwards.

I had a beer once with Stephen Miller and now I like him.

I also tried to ban someone from a Discord for pointing out what an unrelenting shithead I am! I'm even dumb enough to think it worked!

I think, based on the way they explained Aizawa's quirk, it wouldn't. Or at least he couldn't keep it up long enough to do so. Think of it like turning off someone's ventilator who can't breath on their own. If you can only keep the ventilator off for like 30 seconds, it's not enough to kill them immediately since they'll start breathing soon enough to recover and prevent any damage from being done.

Plus there's the possibility that AFO having so many quirks might "overload" Erasure. We don't know what it's maximum effectiveness is, but there may be a limit to how many quirks can be effected at once.

No, that's my point. It works after touch, yet Aizawa can shut it down after it's taken effect (how he saved himself after Shiggy grabbed his elbow, thus taking relatively little damage there instead of, you know, dying). That means that the disintegration is somehow still "connected" to Shiggy even after physical contact ceases, as otherwise Aizawa shutting him down wouldn't have worked.

All is for the best, in this, the best of all possible worlds
Uraraka can touch something to make it float, but she doesn't have to keep touching it. If Aizawa nullifies her power while something's floating, it falls down whether she's touching it or not. Shiggy's power works the same way.

IOW: Forget it, Jake. It's comic book physics.
