i dont think giving deku now 8 quirks to use is a good idea. this makes him way to op and destroys the whole underdog story it was in season 1.
now everyone who will fight him is going to be the underdog lol

what even was the point of deku being quirkless?

they basically proved that everyone who said he should give up on being a hero was right
and he only was able to become one when he was gifted one of the strongest quirks of that world.

i would respect horikoshi a lot more if he went the quirkless route maybe
let hatsume make deku a tech suit or something with which he would be able to compete with others

or give him a unique quirk instead thats not based on physical strength something similar to what aizawa, shinso or stain has

in that way he would have to always outsmart his opponents which would make the series a lot more interesting.

now he can pick and choose which op quirk is more suited to beat his opponent. thats not very intriguing and and distants itself from the underdog premise it was from the start

The reason for him being quirkless is explained in later chapters of manga and why it is important. Specifically in 304

ok I have not read the manga but maybe he may actually have a quirk that the doctors could not detect like all for one’s brother which was to pass on quirks

My guess is that Horikoshi progressed a lot in his writing between the beginning and the current stage of My Hero. Even the reason given in the manga for Deku being quirkless sounds more like he was patching up a mistake rather than an actual explanation.

I mean, I get your point, but I think giving him multiple quirks makes One For All a way more interesting quirk than stockpiled power go brr. Imagine a world where all kinds of cool powers are a thing and the protagonist just hits people really hard. Kinda lame if you ask me.

there is a point to him being quirkless. it doesn't really play into the typical underdog story but it makes sense why him being quirkless is so important so read the manga or don't Idc haha but unless you don't it won't really make much sense.

I get your point OP but it's explained why Deku being quirkless makes perfect sense.
I also would prefer Deku being quirkless throughout the story would've been much better.Him only relying on strategy thinking,and him being the first quirkless hero in history.It would've been so much better and Mirio as usual would be given One for all.

How can you say he’s OP, when you don’t know what the other quirks are? Most likely they all won’t be battle based quirks.

Deku was always quirkless. The reason why this is important is explained later in the manga:

OFA works like titans in AoT for people with quirk. They age faster and die really earlier. But quirkless people don't suffer this, and also can unlock OFA's true potential: previous users' quirks.

You say Deku is way too OP? Bruh in the first episode’s opening monologue, Deku literally says “this is the story of how I became the worlds greatest hero.” He’s meant to be busted, it’s more about him learning how to control it and the journey to #1.

Just because he can choose which quirk doesn’t mean his opponent is just going to let him win the fight w/o a struggle. He has to outsmart them and choose the best quirk for the situation. Don’t be mean just because he’s not the underdog he was in the very beginning.

Everyone knows luffy will find One Piece. He will become the pirate king and will also come to know the truth of the void century
Everybody knew Naruto would become hokage
Everybody knew Ichigo would defeat Aizen
But these stories were enjoyed by many people, why? Because it was about the journey, whereas in MHA Deku gets the power served to him in a silver platter if he had gone half the thing Luffy, Ichigo or Naruto went through it would have been better in my opinion. He just cries and gets over everything like that, it would have been better if he got some caracter developement.

It will be explained a little more later on, but there's a specific reason as to why he had to be quirkless. It actually a very big moment in the manga, in my opinion. I haven't read the last 2 chapter though.

Actually, not only is that a completely unconfirmed fan theory, I can tell you right now that it’s 100% false, because Deku’s doctor and the doctor who works for AFO are completely different people. Deku’s doctor is named Dr Tsubasa, and AFO’s is Dr Garaki. Plus, there would be no way for AFO to steal Deku’s quirk without Deku ever knowing he had one, unless he can somehow steal quirks before they even manifest, and in that case, why would he care so much about a kid whose parents’ quirks are fire breath and weak telekinesis that he would go to such lengths to steal it before it manifested? The root problem with this theory, and the “Deku is AFO’s/All Might’s son” theories is that they try to make Deku more special than he is. Deku was not born special. He happened to meet All Might, impressed him with his heroic spirit to the point that he decided to give him One For All, and that was the moment when he became special.

And you don't think any of these guys weren't served their powers? Naruto stole a forbidden scroll, Ichigo had a sword jammed into him, and Luffy actually ate his powers. Yes, these guys would later train, but Deku worked just as hard to earn his powers. As for the crying, he hasn't done it that offen, he's only done it about 17 times and that's it.

the doctor who told deku he is quirk less is the same one who works with the league of villains. the following is a little far fetched but all for one is deku’s father and he stole deku’s quirk using the doctor to keep his track a secret. this would go with horikoshi’s style of parallels wear deku is the son of evil (afo) while shigoraki <im a bad speller dont talk about it< is the son of one for all’s previous user before all might

there is a theory going around for a long time now that Deku was not originally quirkless anyway since the Doctor of All For One is also the Doctor of Kid Deku so it was guess that maybe the Doctor stolen his regeneration quirk to be given to All For One and that is how he recovered

i dont think giving deku now 8 quirks to use is a good idea. this makes him way to op and destroys the whole underdog story it was in season 1.
now everyone who will fight him is going to be the underdog lol

what even was the point of deku being quirkless?

they basically proved that everyone who said he should give up on being a hero was right
and he only was able to become one when he was gifted one of the strongest quirks of that world.

i would respect horikoshi a lot more if he went the quirkless route maybe
let hatsume make deku a tech suit or something with which he would be able to compete with others

or give him a unique quirk instead thats not based on physical strength something similar to what aizawa, shinso or stain has

in that way he would have to always outsmart his opponents which would make the series a lot more interesting.


The reason for him being quirkless is explained in later chapters of manga and why it is important. Specifically in 304
the thing about ""early than the ones who have quirks, is the most lame excuse I've heard in my life to justify something lmao and why didn't All Might get those new powers neather lol

wait what?
thats a really random plot twist

what quirk did he have?

It's just a fan speculation. Don't believe everything you read from this dumb fanbase. Also Horikoshi likes to forget about major plot points.

wow! this is some next-level question, I completely forgot that they made him look pathetic quirkless pussy in the first few episodes, and now making him exactly like all for one, good observation there.
Now all you can do is wait. It must be hard for you, but there is a right time for everything. Like the ebb and flow of tides. No one can do anything to change them. When it is time to wait, you must wait.

now he can pick and choose which op quirk is more suited to beat his opponent. thats not very intriguing and and distants itself from the underdog premise it was from the start



There is a reason but you shouldn't know that for now. If you wonder the reason, check manga.

If I'm not mistaken, Horikoshi originally planned to have the whole story with quirkless Deku, emphasizing the underdog theme, but Shonen Jump editors rejected them. So I guess now that he has to go with "the chosen one" protagonist he just goes all out with the power.

Not a bad thing tho, given the current direction of the manga.

I always dislike this argument that Shonen Protagonists are underdogs. Naruto has unlimited chakra and a powerful demon inside him, Asta can nullify any magic, etc etc. about the only character who really feels like an underdog is Gon from HxH and maybe some of the Joestars (maybe).

I’ve never considered Deku an underdog as soon as he was given a quirk. If his quirk gave him the power to turn nto a cactus or something, then he would be an underdog. But he hasn’t been an underdog since episode 1.

What I like about Deku is that his character arc has been about the struggles and weight of being given power and responsibility far greater than anything he would have originally had. He is basically destined to become the next symbol of peace but still hasn’t learned to use it. I love that Deku is given a power and wasn’t born with a secret demon inside him that makes him OP. It’s a different take that really doesn’t change that much about his overpowered ness but puts it in a new light.

I wasn’t a huge fan of the 6 quirks when I read it in the manga for the first time, but it doesn’t bother me now. I mostly think it just needed a bit more forshadowing than we got. I wish it was revealed in a better arc than a training arc too, but it is what it’s is.

Tl;dr: I think his quirklessness in early episodes thematically makes Deku more interesting than he otherwise would be if he was quirkless throughout or had a quirk the whole time.

I mean, I get your point, but I think giving him multiple quirks makes One For All a way more interesting quirk than stockpiled power go brr. Imagine a world where all kinds of cool powers are a thing and the protagonist just hits people really hard. Kinda lame if you ask me.
s world with all sorts of powers and the main charcter hits people really hard sounds like a cool idea can I write about it I don’t post what I write on the web but I should still ask and credit

and everybody knows that Deku is going to be the greatest hero of all time. He literally says that in the first episode. He trains his ass off in the beginning of the first season. I would go as far to say that a lot of people enjoy this series as well. I think he’s come a long way since season 1. He still cries a lot I agree that maybe he could cut back on that maybe a bit, but that’s what makes him who he is. I’m just saying if you don’t like the series then why are you five seasons in complaining about it? There are so many other great series out there for you to watch instead of nitpicking every little thing in MHA.

Just stating the flaws of an anime does not mean I don't like an anime AOT has its flaws but I still like AOT.
And all I said was that MHA could go with a little more focus on the caracter developement of Deku, Momo , Kaminari etc.
I was looking at your post and if literally any anime ever had flaws I did not notice them I might have noticed Snow White with red hair had boring characters but it’s to small to be a flaw and I noticed tamaki from ouran was weird but I didn’t count it as a flaw
