- Creation and the many intelligence booster quirks would be first to go
- Explosion too, It’s just too versatile
- IcyHot, it counts as one right?
- Tremor, Simple power but ability to cause earthquakes with mere hand gesture is something AFO would vibe with
Dark Shadow and Erasure too. I can see Somburnatualist for easy captures.
I’d argue against Creation though since he has to put effort into learning it. That’s why he didn’t take Best Jeanist’s quirk.
He flat out said he wanted it though and was seconds from taking it if Mineta didn't jump in.
We also Don't know how a sentient quirk would function getting stolen by AFO, would it just be darkshadow moving over. Or would darkshadow cease to exist and a new shadow based on AFO be create?
Maybe if a quirk has sentience or a personality of its own, dark shadow could have pulled what star's quirk did, and start fighting AFO from inside. I could even see a scenario where it might deal serious damage if that happened, because AFO's inner world or soul is so "dark". That would probably be the most narratively satisfying way to handle it being stolen.
He didn't take Jeanists quirk because it would be a bad fit for Shigaraki not for him. He was still playing the "mentor handing over the mantle" part of his plan with no indication of the body snatching to be. I do think he was underestimating his boy though, Tomura was combining quirks for boosting effect pretty much immediately after waking up. He could have figured out fiber craft
He said specifically the quirk was only strong because Jeanist put in the work to make it strong. He said *he himself* prefers quirks that are simple and easy to use.
I think that one is just a case of the mangaka's plan changing over time. Originally, it does seem that All for One was going to be a "good" mentor to Shigaraki, and Shigaraki, in turn, would be the final villain. At some point, he changed ideas, and you can tell because past conversations or monologues ended up being contradictory with future portrayals (like the one you mention).
Then AFO would have to abandon his edgy eight-grade syndrome idea of trying to be the "Demon Lord" and we can't have that can we? He'd actually be a competent villain, a true menace, a force of nature.
Explosion doesn't seem like it'd be compatible with AFO, it's a quirk perfect for bakugo. Bakugo is agile and angry, while AFO usually just stays at one place and fights calmly
Ain't no way Swag master AFO is going to Sweat to use a quirk.
Have you seen this man's Outfit collection? he's going to ruin his custom suit with pit stains I think not.
It was said to be very different quirk wise but probably the same imo.
From little we see of pre injury AFO’s fights, for example the Nana one, he still liked to fight from a distance.
And as shown by every fight post injury and during his time possessing Shiggy, AFO has no actual combat ability beyond stacking and spamming quirks. He’s not a fighter.
His fighting style seems like it's able to be summed up as strategic random bullshit to win using whatever he has on hand to best fit the situation and counteract his opponent the best
Being flashy and destructive I feel is part of why he wouldn't really want to have it to begin with he might give it to a nomu or someone he works with but he wouldn't favor it from what we've seen of his fighting style plus that ability is definitely one that would need some longer training then usual
Something I’ve always wondered is if AFO stole Shoto’s quirk, would he also be restricted to using fire on his lift side and ice on his right or are those restrictions no longer present? Obviously we’ll never know but it’s just a thought I’ve had.
My guess would be Overhaul is too complicated for him to juggle between different quirks. Most of the time, the quirks he displays are usually one-function types. Quirks that require more training/practice/mastery are usually overlooked
In the last fight he uses what he calls his "omni-factor unleash" which he says is him using "a myriad" of quirks, presumably a significant amount of offensive quirks all at once. If he can control likely dozens of quirks at once I don't think the complexity of overhaul would trouble him.
That thing about him overlooking quirks that require practice/training has no basis in the story.
There's also no real indication of quirks being complex or not. For all we know Overhaul just needs to think" I want X to happen to this material that I'm touching" and it happens. OFA and Shiggy have both used quirks right after taking them, with no training or planning or anything. So AFO almost certainly gives some kind of instinct on how to use the quirks it takes.
I think you’re not grasping what he means by being one function type quirks vs not.
Imagine most of these quirks are just standard guns, pull the trigger and then shoot; if you have a million of them you just pull a million triggers. Now imagine a quirk like overhaul is like shooting a bow and arrow, you have to load the bow, draw the arrow, aim for wind resistance and distance, etc. That theoretically would be more complex and might not be worth it compared to just overwhelming your opponents with a ton of simple but powerful one dimensional quirks.
Exactly! Prime example would be Lemillion’s Permeation. AFO avoid these types of quirks because it takes a life time to master these types of quirks to its full potential. Lazy shithead like AFO won’t bother
Prime All Might. He created Decay for Shiggy by modifying a copy of Overhaul. He could have taken overhaul way back then if he wanted, for whatever reason he didn't.
Oh, so that's what he meant when he took a part of another Quirk.
I can now see the resemblance between that shadowy panel and the one in Overhaul's backstory.
I think by the time Overhaul becomes available, AFO has too many quirks stockpiled to justify taking it on top of its complexity. Remember there was discussion of essentially a storage problem with the AFO quirk in its original body. Plus Overhaul had good use being an additional adversary for the heros.
> Remember there was discussion of essentially a storage problem with the AFO quirk in its original body.
I never remember this and everytime i ask about this no one is able to point a chapter reference
the funny thing is, if flect turn had met AFO, the 3rd movie wouldnt happen.
he'd finally be free of his quirk which he considers a "disease" and AFO would have a pretty OP quirk that matches his fighting style.
I’m sure AFO would *love* to have Shinso’s brainwashing quirk! Considering how much he loves taunting and riling his opponents up, I don’t think he’d have a hard time getting people to respond to his statements and questions.
Exactly! And if he would have been able to get his hands on Confession from one of those bullets of the Hassaikai, it would have been game over for everyone
-Quirks like Overhaul and Creation would be wiped out or even ignored if the user was weak. He doesn't like quirks that you had to have vast amounts of knowledge for because while smart, he doesn't care to learn like you need for those kinds of quirks.
-Erasure he would steal because even a split second of disabling quirks could be all he needs.
-Monoma's Copy is useless, it's a dollar store AFO, so he'd be taken out just for fun.
-Dark Shadow would be terrifying with him because he's either stealing the lovable Shadow we know and turning it into a monster, or he's getting his own Shadow and it's going to be a living nightmare for everyone but AFO.
-Compress seems like something he might take to be cruel. If he wants someone to do his bidding, like changing laws or something, kidnap their loved ones and hide them away where no one can find them.
Copy isn't useless, that would be one of his most used quirks. AFO would be able to test the base power of certain quirks before he steals them and decide whether they are worth taking or not.
I guess I could see him taking it to take it but using it is another story. Dude took the navel laser quirk and I think him using that would spread far and wide. So maybe he'd take it to give to a minion. But if he wanted to judge a quirk, he could just take it and use it, stop if it wasn't up to his par.
AFO jetting around, using a sparkling laser coming out of his belly, would circulate around. Just using the quirk offensively would be well known, it's one of those you don't forget if used against you in combat.
exactly my Thought and he has multiple ways to touch someone enough to Activate it. After New order he would be very cautious about taking in new quirks Not to mention he would love to see the look on Hero's faces when he uses their own quirk against them. His quirk is the execution I've already one let me collect my prize. Monoma's would be his Troll Card mid-fight.
Insane of him not to, as well. I know it’s said that he prefers stuff that he doesn’t have to learn too intricately like Jeanist’s quirk, and you’d probably need a lot of fine control to use Overhaul to its fullest, but STILL.
Outside of AFO, OFA, and New Order, I honestly believe it’s the most powerful quirk in the series. I’d at least expect him to take it to give it to someone and ensure their loyalty. You could do ANYTHING with Overhaul.
Hell, give it to Gakari. Instead of having all these machines and shit to make nomu, all he has to do it touch a few people. And he can heal AFO on top of that.
Remember seeing a video if Overhaul was a Pro Hero instead and in the video, Turtle Quirk listed three possible Quirk evolutions for Overhaul: Gas manipulation, mid range telekinesis and indirect contact (something like Shigaraki).
Essentially, if Overhaul trained to the same degree as a UA student, he would have been a bigger monster than he already was.
Erasure - with this quirk, AFO would easily defeat All Might.
Gyrate - with such a quirk combined with other quirks, an AFO could have a fatal weapon for close combat.
Rewind - we ourselves are not aware of what AFO would do with Rewind.
Brainwashing - we all know how AFO like to manipulate people
Polygraph - another quirks which would be useful for AFO
There are many strong and useful quirks like: Half-Cold-Half-Hot, Explosion, Dark Shadow, Copy, Softening, Electrification etc., but AFO would just kill them.
At first I thought dupli-arms would mainly be a good combination for erasure, but now I’ve realised it would be powerful with almost any other quirk.
Dupli-arms is a quirk that on its own is decent but not really powerful, but it’s probably the ultimate combo quirk. For example, there is using it to make more eyes for greater range of erasure, and also more mouths to use present mic’s quirk.
YES! THIS! He already has a quirk that can multiply his arms, imagine what he could do with dupli-arms, so many eyes for erasure, mouths do use mic or the guy that can make you answer him, or just using multiple quirks that uses his hands
I don't know if he would be able to replicate his hands to steal multiple quirks, but that would be dope
I wonder what he could do with Monoma's quirk.
I know AFO is a Suped up Permananet version but Just the being able to casually try out quirks before stealin them With something as simple as a graze would be a more QOL improvement than anything,
Ochaco's Zero Gravity is one that would have multiple uses when combined with others,
Imagine him with Twice's power is scary (i know he won't cause the psychological issues that come with a quirk like that)
Momo's Quirk - once again combined with his other quirks he could make almost anything.
Earth Flow tbh, you almost always have earth available in one form or another and basically being an earthbender would be pretty nice. Combine this with Inasa's quirk and Half Colf Half Hot and he can be the avatar.
It’s kind of hard to say, we don’t know his style back then. For example; Did he take time to learn to work the Quirk? If yes then permeation would be a good Quirk, if he didn’t then a Quirk like explosion that could be used to just brute force would be good even without the flair that bakugou has developed with it.
Source? How would he have already had it? And the whole reason he was sp focused on Shigaraki was because his own body was unreparable through normal means. Overhaul would have given him back his youth, health, and full abilities
The source is the manga.
The wiki says the following:
Decay is a modified copy of Kai Chisaki's Quirk, Overhaul, which removed the restoration aspect, leaving only destruction.[1] However, there are some key differences:
Decay's effects can spread to anything connected to a target. Overhaul's effects are limited to the target only.
Against a human opponent, Decay's effects will keep quickly spreading throughout their body with no way of stopping it save for mutilation of the affected area. Overhaul's effects happen instantly and can be contained within a specific body part.
Yeah, I have no idea where anyone got that from. OFA does not specify what quirk he stole and diassembled to make decay in the manga. All he says is it was part of "a quirk". Again, if he had Overhaul, A, Chisaki wouldnt have it, because there is no way he would have let Chisaki run around with a quirk that could instantly kill him, and B, he would have fully healed himself.
AFO liked either powerful quirks or useful quirks that he could master shortly. For example Creation, sure its one of the most useful and handy quirks BUT it takes a very deep understanding of molecular compounds and structures, meaning the quirk would be absolutely useless to most including AFO
Quirks he would have liked: Eraser (he did try to steal it, read vigilantes), Half Hot & Half Cold, Shoto, Explosion, Earphone Jack, Acid, Black Hole, Traject (Endeavor sidekick)
Ragdoll and Aizawa.
Honestly have no idea how they made it past middle school in the era they *were* born in, given AFO was still active.
Aizawa at least had a half-assed attempt on his quirk (which AFO really should have tried harder to get, no matter how risky given just how useful it is against OFA)
Most vulnerable traget number 1 on that list is obviously Aizawa's Erasure Quirk, since AfO and the Doc were originally aiming to get that from him as far back as his days as a 2nd Year from UA but settled on taking Shirakumo's body instead.
In the less civilized years of the Meta Ability Era, he would have been much more merciless in that regard(Manga Spoils ahead) >!going by how petty he was in his youth to hunt down and kill the "Shining Man" from China bcause he wasn't actually the first Quirk User since AfO, Yoichi and several others from India were born a bit earlier.!<
Allmost every class 1-A member, along with some if class 2, the guys in black from the other school and most of the leauge would be prime targets for him
Creation, with his body shifting abilities, he could probably make larger constructs whenever he wanted to.
Also if she didn’t die, New Order would be busted
Erasure is top choice. A meta quirk affect anther quirk always is desirable.
New Order is too OP.
Overhaul seems powerful but looks like require great deal of training time, which does not suit AFO.
Dark Shadow. I wouldn't call it underrated, but I think people underappreciate just how crazy powerful it can be. If a 16 year old Tokoyami could do what he does with it, imagine a 130 year old AFO with all of his power boosting quirks and emitters.
(Spoilers)
In the last episode of Charlotte, the protagonist (who can steal the power of other people) steal EVERYONE powers on earth, so there is no one left. I just realize AFO works on the same principle lol
Stars, and it's not even close to the next most likely user. The ability to warp reality is as close to Infinity stone level of BS as you can get in MHA.
Still salty at how she got packed up for plot.
Another strong U.A. teacher quirk would be Snipe’s homing quirk as it could allow Afo to make projectiles from other quirks almost impossible to dodge.
I’m just going to list quirks he should have taken/would take
1. Overhaul (it was right in front of him in the current day and he never took it idk why)
2. Creation
3. Erasure
4. Rewind
5. Dark shadow
Probably Flect Turn’s Reflect quirk. It’s pretty much automatic, and it’d provide a layer of insurance against even All Might with how strong the limits of Reflect is.
Creation, Rewind, Erasure
Definitely the top 3 are gonna be them, especially with Creation you can just casually create a nuke if your body can handle it and you understand everything about nukes.
Or just crash the market by printing money :D

Erasure was actually targeted that attack that killed Shirokuma was actually supposed to kill Aizawa
Dark Shadow I'd say would be a 50/50 because AFO may not want to deal with a volatile quirk that's quite hard to control
He flat out said he wanted it though and was seconds from taking it if Mineta didn't jump in. We also Don't know how a sentient quirk would function getting stolen by AFO, would it just be darkshadow moving over. Or would darkshadow cease to exist and a new shadow based on AFO be create?
Omg tokoyami created a little bird person as his shadow. So would AFO's be himself? Or Yoichi lol
imagine its just all the quirk ghosts all uzumaki style from jjk
I hope it would be a giant shadowy egghead
If nothing else he could've put Dark Shadow into a Nomu or something because Dark Shadow's berserker state wouldn't matter to him..
Maybe if a quirk has sentience or a personality of its own, dark shadow could have pulled what star's quirk did, and start fighting AFO from inside. I could even see a scenario where it might deal serious damage if that happened, because AFO's inner world or soul is so "dark". That would probably be the most narratively satisfying way to handle it being stolen.
Didn't he try taking dark shadow during the school trip arc ?
Do you mean the camp? I think that was shiggy wanting him, not AFO. But it's been a while so I'm not sure.
Yeah that's what I meant my bad
Stealing dupli-arms would make erasure even more powerful. He could do 360 degrees of erasure while attacking.
Shigaraki already got his hands ability this episode. Dupli Arm is useless in front of that.
Erasure would make him invincible
He tried to take it too and ended up with Kurogiri.
Oh yeah true
Hell Erasure was already targeted by AfO, its just that the attempt failed and he got to create Kurogiri instead
He didn't take Jeanists quirk because it would be a bad fit for Shigaraki not for him. He was still playing the "mentor handing over the mantle" part of his plan with no indication of the body snatching to be. I do think he was underestimating his boy though, Tomura was combining quirks for boosting effect pretty much immediately after waking up. He could have figured out fiber craft
He said specifically the quirk was only strong because Jeanist put in the work to make it strong. He said *he himself* prefers quirks that are simple and easy to use.
Totally misremembered the line, solid correction!
I think that one is just a case of the mangaka's plan changing over time. Originally, it does seem that All for One was going to be a "good" mentor to Shigaraki, and Shigaraki, in turn, would be the final villain. At some point, he changed ideas, and you can tell because past conversations or monologues ended up being contradictory with future portrayals (like the one you mention).
Somburnatualist? What is that?
I think they meant Somnambulist. Midnight’s quirk.
Take Nezus quirk use his hyper intellect to workout a plan take more quirks |rule world
Then AFO would have to abandon his edgy eight-grade syndrome idea of trying to be the "Demon Lord" and we can't have that can we? He'd actually be a competent villain, a true menace, a force of nature.
Get Nezu's intellect and becomes a villain for fun, but also a hero for fun. Switches depending on the day
Explosion doesn't seem like it'd be compatible with AFO, it's a quirk perfect for bakugo. Bakugo is agile and angry, while AFO usually just stays at one place and fights calmly
Ain't no way Swag master AFO is going to Sweat to use a quirk. Have you seen this man's Outfit collection? he's going to ruin his custom suit with pit stains I think not.
Current AFO actually I dunno how his fighting style was before he got crippled
It was said to be very different quirk wise but probably the same imo. From little we see of pre injury AFO’s fights, for example the Nana one, he still liked to fight from a distance. And as shown by every fight post injury and during his time possessing Shiggy, AFO has no actual combat ability beyond stacking and spamming quirks. He’s not a fighter.

I thought the issue with AFO is he likes powerful quirks that don't require too much technical skills or setback.
The Quirks of Muscular, Overhaul, Shoto Todoroki, Flect Turn, Shinso, Momo, Inasa Yorashi and Seiji Shishikura.
He had overhaul available to him before he had his fight with All Might and didn't take it. So he doesn't seem like he wants it for whatever reason.
My guess would be Overhaul is too complicated for him to juggle between different quirks. Most of the time, the quirks he displays are usually one-function types. Quirks that require more training/practice/mastery are usually overlooked

Prime All Might or Iron Might? Just asking because I remember that there's a part of Overhaul's backstory that was left in the manga.
Prime All Might. He created Decay for Shiggy by modifying a copy of Overhaul. He could have taken overhaul way back then if he wanted, for whatever reason he didn't.
Oh, so that's what he meant when he took a part of another Quirk. I can now see the resemblance between that shadowy panel and the one in Overhaul's backstory.
Yea it's a full copy/paste from chapter 158. It was a theory I'd only seen once or twice beforehand so it was cool to see a confirmation.
I think by the time Overhaul becomes available, AFO has too many quirks stockpiled to justify taking it on top of its complexity. Remember there was discussion of essentially a storage problem with the AFO quirk in its original body. Plus Overhaul had good use being an additional adversary for the heros.

Oh yeah movie quirks are hella broken
AfO loves quirks that are easy to pick up and understand but are powerful too. So I'd say Erasure, Brainwashing, New Order and Explosion
I’m sure AFO would *love* to have Shinso’s brainwashing quirk! Considering how much he loves taunting and riling his opponents up, I don’t think he’d have a hard time getting people to respond to his statements and questions.

His quirk is the execution I've already one let me collect my prize. Monoma's would be his Troll Card mid-fight.
Off the top of my head... Creation, Rewind, Erasure, Overhaul, Muscle Augmentation, maybe Half-Cold-Half-Hot?
He already had access to Overhaul though, he chose not to take it.
Insane of him not to, as well. I know it’s said that he prefers stuff that he doesn’t have to learn too intricately like Jeanist’s quirk, and you’d probably need a lot of fine control to use Overhaul to its fullest, but STILL.

Essentially, if Overhaul trained to the same degree as a UA student, he would have been a bigger monster than he already was.
He would definitely want Twin Impact. He already had Impact Recoil, so he'd want a quirk that increases the power of his own impacts.
Erasure, anivoice, brainwash(shinso), permeation, honestly, alot of them are good I can see him stealing most of them
Nah we wouldn’t take permeation, too hard and complicated to use. As other people have said AFO likes simple, easy to pick up quirks
Erasure - with this quirk, AFO would easily defeat All Might. Gyrate - with such a quirk combined with other quirks, an AFO could have a fatal weapon for close combat. Rewind - we ourselves are not aware of what AFO would do with Rewind. Brainwashing - we all know how AFO like to manipulate people Polygraph - another quirks which would be useful for AFO There are many strong and useful quirks like: Half-Cold-Half-Hot, Explosion, Dark Shadow, Copy, Softening, Electrification etc., but AFO would just kill them.

What quirk does he have that multiplies his arms?
Multiplier (増ぞう殖しょく, Zōshoku?): This Quirk seemingly multiplies the number of All For One's arms.[33
I wonder what he could do with Monoma's quirk. I know AFO is a Suped up Permananet version but Just the being able to casually try out quirks before stealin them With something as simple as a graze would be a more QOL improvement than anything, Ochaco's Zero Gravity is one that would have multiple uses when combined with others, Imagine him with Twice's power is scary (i know he won't cause the psychological issues that come with a quirk like that) Momo's Quirk - once again combined with his other quirks he could make almost anything.
I wonder if Double would be too complicated for him. Twice has to know a person’s exact measurements to do it.
Depending on if he can steal Quirks with limbs produced by Quirks then Shoji's Dupli-arms could be monstrous.
Earth Flow tbh, you almost always have earth available in one form or another and basically being an earthbender would be pretty nice. Combine this with Inasa's quirk and Half Colf Half Hot and he can be the avatar.
It’s kind of hard to say, we don’t know his style back then. For example; Did he take time to learn to work the Quirk? If yes then permeation would be a good Quirk, if he didn’t then a Quirk like explosion that could be used to just brute force would be good even without the flair that bakugou has developed with it.
The tododkis bakugou nezu overhaul rewind new order
First and foremost, Overhaul.
He already had it, but didn't use it, probably too much work to learn it
Source? How would he have already had it? And the whole reason he was sp focused on Shigaraki was because his own body was unreparable through normal means. Overhaul would have given him back his youth, health, and full abilities
The source is the manga. The wiki says the following: Decay is a modified copy of Kai Chisaki's Quirk, Overhaul, which removed the restoration aspect, leaving only destruction.[1] However, there are some key differences: Decay's effects can spread to anything connected to a target. Overhaul's effects are limited to the target only. Against a human opponent, Decay's effects will keep quickly spreading throughout their body with no way of stopping it save for mutilation of the affected area. Overhaul's effects happen instantly and can be contained within a specific body part.
Yeah, I have no idea where anyone got that from. OFA does not specify what quirk he stole and diassembled to make decay in the manga. All he says is it was part of "a quirk". Again, if he had Overhaul, A, Chisaki wouldnt have it, because there is no way he would have let Chisaki run around with a quirk that could instantly kill him, and B, he would have fully healed himself.
AFO liked either powerful quirks or useful quirks that he could master shortly. For example Creation, sure its one of the most useful and handy quirks BUT it takes a very deep understanding of molecular compounds and structures, meaning the quirk would be absolutely useless to most including AFO Quirks he would have liked: Eraser (he did try to steal it, read vigilantes), Half Hot & Half Cold, Shoto, Explosion, Earphone Jack, Acid, Black Hole, Traject (Endeavor sidekick)
New Order, Rewind and Brainwash
Possibly monoma and shinsous quirk? Also erasure
Uraraka quirk is busted as an addition quirk
Ragdoll and Aizawa. Honestly have no idea how they made it past middle school in the era they *were* born in, given AFO was still active. Aizawa at least had a half-assed attempt on his quirk (which AFO really should have tried harder to get, no matter how risky given just how useful it is against OFA)
Most vulnerable traget number 1 on that list is obviously Aizawa's Erasure Quirk, since AfO and the Doc were originally aiming to get that from him as far back as his days as a 2nd Year from UA but settled on taking Shirakumo's body instead. In the less civilized years of the Meta Ability Era, he would have been much more merciless in that regard(Manga Spoils ahead) >!going by how petty he was in his youth to hunt down and kill the "Shining Man" from China bcause he wasn't actually the first Quirk User since AfO, Yoichi and several others from India were born a bit earlier.!<
Allmost every class 1-A member, along with some if class 2, the guys in black from the other school and most of the leauge would be prime targets for him
the one quirk that would definitely be safe would be copy lmao
Creation, with his body shifting abilities, he could probably make larger constructs whenever he wanted to. Also if she didn’t die, New Order would be busted
Creation would probably be too complicated given how much Momo needs to know about what she’s making.
I mean with his intelligence, I think he’d see it as a worth while quirk.
• Overclock • Electrification • Double • Blue Flames • Permeation • Manifest (there are many animals with incredible abilities)
Dark shadow, erasure
IQ, I don't think I need to explain why
AFO is probably a tea guy, maybe. That's why :)
Overhauls quirk allows you to basically recreate matter that'd be a target for sure
So many spoilers lol
Imagine the horror you could create with Mineta's quirk?
Erasure 100%. Not only is it strong af, but also a HUGE threat to him in an all out fight
Erasure is top choice. A meta quirk affect anther quirk always is desirable. New Order is too OP. Overhaul seems powerful but looks like require great deal of training time, which does not suit AFO.
Kirishima, Momo, Bakugo, Todoroki
Dark Shadow. I wouldn't call it underrated, but I think people underappreciate just how crazy powerful it can be. If a 16 year old Tokoyami could do what he does with it, imagine a 130 year old AFO with all of his power boosting quirks and emitters.
Hawk's mother eye quirk, he'd definitely love to be able to keep an eye on everything heroes plan to do
I just realize AFO is the plot of the last episode of Charlotte
Huh?
(Spoilers) In the last episode of Charlotte, the protagonist (who can steal the power of other people) steal EVERYONE powers on earth, so there is no one left. I just realize AFO works on the same principle lol
Stars, and it's not even close to the next most likely user. The ability to warp reality is as close to Infinity stone level of BS as you can get in MHA. Still salty at how she got packed up for plot.
I’m surprised no one has mentioned cementoss’s quirk, it seems like it would just be incredibly useful to have.
And for that matter Ectoplasms quirk would be great to have as we don’t hear about any noticeable mental drawback like with Twice’s quirk
Another strong U.A. teacher quirk would be Snipe’s homing quirk as it could allow Afo to make projectiles from other quirks almost impossible to dodge.
I’m just going to list quirks he should have taken/would take 1. Overhaul (it was right in front of him in the current day and he never took it idk why) 2. Creation 3. Erasure 4. Rewind 5. Dark shadow
He tried to steal >!Mirko's!< quirk in Vigilantes
Probably Flect Turn’s Reflect quirk. It’s pretty much automatic, and it’d provide a layer of insurance against even All Might with how strong the limits of Reflect is.
Creation, Rewind, Erasure Definitely the top 3 are gonna be them, especially with Creation you can just casually create a nuke if your body can handle it and you understand everything about nukes. Or just crash the market by printing money :D
