It counts his black percentage. His hero name is 100% BLACK.

I've been figuring it's the ability to amputate her limbs at will and regrow them near-instantly, so in my imagination we're going to end up with an anime version of Spongebob making a chain of his own arms.

Isn't that just Shoji?

Actually, one thing I'm looking forward to in the upcoming arc is to finally see some Class 1-A students finally taking a clear loss for once (against a non-1A person, that is).

Unless we get another Hero License turnout and 1-A wins every single fight :geno:

Off the top of my head, everyone in 1-A has only lost to someone else inside 1-A (or a teacher) except for Iida getting shut down by Stain.

Denki lost to Ibari in the sports festival, and the whole class got their asses kicked by Mirio. Like, half the class went down in the first six seconds.

We actually don't know what the training exorcise actually is. For all we know, this could be a team-based thing with Class A & B kids working together. Like, imagine Momona getting stuck on a team with Bakugou or Deku.

It'll be interesting to see 1-B in action a bit more since a lot of them do seem to be heavily outclassed by 1-A. They certainly haven't shown anything like what powerhouses like Todoroki, Bakugo or Deku bring to the table. Hope this arc makes them seem a bit more formidable without being unbelievable.

Also yes I was right about Aizawa training Shinso! I was really hoping this would be true!

gently caress yes unbreakable analogue is mandatory. So is Momona getting paired with any of 1-A's hard hitters. Really looking forward to seeing the rest of 1-B in action. And Shinso! Glad this sideplot is going somewhere.

I've seen people who are convinced that one of them is Bakugou because the silhouette has similar spiky hair. It really doesn't make sense unless Bakugou somehow gets sent back in time long enough to temporarily get OfA and pass it on.

I've also seen some speculation that the other one might be that Genji looking guy who was working for AfO in that flashback last chapter and OfA somehow managed to convince him to turn on his brother.

Nephthys

It kind of does seem like one dude has Bakugo's hair, neck brace and gauntlets and the other has Kirishima's gear-shaped shoulder things but the implications are too absurd for me to treat that seriously.

Off the top of my head I'd speculate that maybe they tried working with All for One or maybe they only had OfA for very short amounts of time. There must be some sort of story with them that makes them different.

Same. "Double/Two Palm Strikes" with the quirk Twin Impact is easy enough to put together but he doesn't exactly look like the martial artist type, so hot drat what happens when he hits someone twice.

Maybe they represent two OFA users who AFO tried to steal the quirk from, only to get whatever quirk they originally had or ended up "removing" them from the chain of users in this...shadow world thing.

The spiky haired person could be AFO. He has similar looking hair in the flashback - not as long tho - and technically he had it before OfA. Also the guy he took it from?

Among the theories I've heard, the one that I most like is that the two holders are somehow still alive. Not like giving away OFA kill you, it's the fighting AFO part that does. Maybe they were unable to continue the fight for one reason or another and had to pass it down to the next successor.

That's why All Might is sorta blurry; he's still alive, but his future's uncertain, and while Toshinori is alive, All Might the hero is effectively dead.

Either that or they'll turn out to be super plot relevant and revealed at a later date.

Actually what you are saying gave me a thought. What if singularity is when the person gets used to the OFA, when their body acclimates/accepts it fully. Then those two could be people who were offered the power but, because of pain/trauma/etc, passed it back or off to someone else before they reached that point. There was that point after after Deku's bout with Todoroki during the sports festival where he basically offered to give OFA back until someone more "worthy" was found. Maybe those two are people who gave up or were deemed unworthy so they gave it back to the previous holder before they reached the point of "singularity".

If it wasn't for All Might and Midoriya's obsession with him as the symbol of peace then most people would view that power as more of a curse then a blessing. Literally blowing up their own limbs when trying to even use it. What if there was no recovery girl when Midoriya first used it? He would have spent literal years healing from that level of trauma. Sure it was probably less traumatic when OFA had less power stored up but that combined with being told that you have to fight a massive evil could easily make some decide to pass on the opportunity.

How long's it been canonically since the sports festival? It's pretty great if Aizawa's been training Shinso for this about as long as All Might trained Deku for the entrance exam.

im not gonna lie, i hope the in-world pace picks up a bit. i'd really like to see hori do more adult character designs, + its more plausible that major events would be spread out quite a bit, even if its a plot point that this is all happening relatively quickly in-world
