    Episode 52

    ---------------------------------------












    Focusing on legs feels a little forced.

    If the idea is that he's permanently screwed up his hands and we expect them to never take on 100% One For All ever, then this makes sense, but it makes him into a crippled version of All Might.

    If the idea is that his arms are healing currently and he just needs to make something up to get him through the Provisional Examinations, then this leg focus would just be temporary and it doesn't relate to his true strength or killer move.

    If the idea is that his legs are stronger than his arms inherently and thus more compatible with One For All, this means Midoriya has given up on making his body 100% tolerant of One For All, which is a shame.

    If using his legs is just to balance the load of One For All over his entire body, then it's a mixture of both (giving up on having 100% tolerance) and (temporary - since he'll go back to using arms again when legs take the toll).

    If he thinks kicking suits him better because of stuff, then good on him. There's never been any foreshadowing to show him finding punching awkward, or preferring playing soccer etc though.

    If mixing up kicking and punching is good simply because of diversity, then it also makes sense - but then to call it Shoot Style (as in he's shooting a soccer ball) is weird when it's only half the story.

    If Midoriya thinks he has it hard figuring out a special move, he should consult Hagakure.

    Using his legs (also) gives him more options, which is always good for someone as considered as Midoria.

    Since he began full cowling, it seems he has used/trained his legs much more than his arms (wall jumping and mobility has had more practice than his 4-5 OFA punches since Stain). It seems more natural to him, if I had to choose.

    I'm not really sure how the dorm system is supposed to solve their problem.

    None of the attacks happened to the students at home. One was at the school, the other, during a field trip.

    They targeted Bakugo. And who knows what else might happen when students are in their own home? Easy pickings right? Put em all together under supervision and it gets harder for em to get away with it. Then again...putting em all together like fish in a barrel might not be the best idea.

    If taking out individual students was the goal, they'd have been doing that from the start. The real goal is to make UA look weak and cause the public to lose faith in them. Which they do by attacking the students when they're together and with teachers. Which the dorm wouldn't help with.

    That's the villain's goal. The main goal of UA is to keep the students safe, which the dorm achieves (vs just leaving them in normal houses). Also, if the villains suddenly change their mind and started grabbing UA kids from home, UA's reputation will be even more screwed.

    That's not going to get you very far in combat.

    From a practicality point of view, kicking is generally less natural because it severely compromises your balance and mobility options in exchange for power/range.

    I have nothing against Midoriya using his legs. It's the way that it's delivered as if it'll solve all of his problems. The show has never meaningfully discussed how Midoriya can overcome his physical frailty. If he needs to use the quirk a lot to get used to it.

    Put it this way: Why couldn't he have just punched that rock?

    @DEX:

    The mouse explained their secondary goal: they're looking for a mole amongst the students.

    Was it ever explained why All Might puffs up like he did but Midoriya doesn't?

    All Might never explained why he puffs up. One can guess that he does it to fulfil his status as the Symbol of Peace.

    He does the form so consistently that we've never been shown him using All For One in tiny form.

    But it has to be related to One for All, right? He was quirkless before inheriting that power, after all. Then that should mean Midoriya should also be able to puff up. Why was this never touched upon despite the fact its the most glaring difference between them?

    Is the puffing his version of full cowling? Is it because Midoriya is only using a tiny fraction of the power, rendering him unpuffed? But even when he used full power to punch before, his arms didn't puff up, even though All Might clearly puffed the arm he used to hit All for One with, strongly suggesting his unpuffed self/limbs don't contain that power.

    Also, All Might's unpuffed self looks so much weaker than Midoriya. How is such a frail body even able to use 100% of that power? His appearance contradicts everything about how Midoriya is training to use One for All.

    Did the female One for All also puff up? That'd be something to see.

    That's a good point actually. I questioned this before. If his arm wasn't puffed, was it even 100%?

    Gran Torino discussed it with Midoria in Season 2. All Might didn't use 100% OFA most of the time, because at this level of power, no one's body could handle it constantly.

    Since he can still do muscle form a bit after having lost the quirk, I deduce it was trained or created separate from the One for All itself, as it can exist separately. I do expect it was his version of full cowling, as Gran Torino also explained that Toshinori was a 'natural' at using the power.

    As for shoot style, I figured the implication was to use legs/kicks to reduce the burden of constantly fighting with his arms to avoid exhaustion and, in this case, damage?

    Wait, you mean All Might can puff up even without One for All? I thought he puffed up at the very end by using the final remnants of his One for All.

    It's up to interpretation. He can still go muscle form for short periods, even in these last couple episodes. You can take that as a joke (which it could well be), or as this ability being something he can still muster up without One for All.

    I was under the impression that, before he was critically injured, All Might's "puffed up" form was just his normal body.

    Like, he started out a normal kid, just like Midoriya. Once he received OFA, he had to train his body constantly in order to be able to use it without wrecking his body. And by the time he'd trained enough that his body could use 100% of OFA without damaging itself, he'd just grown to his All Might proportions.

    But once he received his critical injury, his health began to fail. He's already stated that he can't eat properly, and I assume he also can't physically train hard anymore either. This has caused his body to atrophy to the point that it's at now. However, he was still able to take his old form temporarily, but it was basically like holding a flexed muscle.

    So it's not OFA itself that makes you big. It's the physical training required to fully use OFA that makes you big. Deku can only use, like, 5% of OFAs power without hurting himself atm. So he's only, like, 5% as swole as he needs to be.

    That makes even less sense. If it is unrelated to One for All, you're basically saying a quirkless person who has atrophied like him can suddenly become buff for short periods "like holding a flexed muscle."

    If using One For All is what Midoriya needs to do to train himself, then he needs to wear a restraining suit that provides resistance training to all ranges of motion. Then he lives/breathes with One For All 24hrs a day to train his body to adapt.

    ie just muscle training.
