It’s anime rant time again!

Okay. So I just watched a Film Theory on My Hero Academia that suggested All Might had a “buff up” quirk he didn’t know about before he inherited One For All. The video claims that the difference between All Might’s muscle form and his actual form are because of this quirk he didn't know he had. 

No. Just...no.

Additionally, there was also a claim that Midoriya was able to use 1,000,000% power. *beleagered sigh* Also a flat no. Anyone who typically watches anime understands exactly what Midoriya was doing there. It was a hype-up. A confidence boost. (Apparently this was also confirmed by the writer.)

At the beginning, Midoriya hadn’t even inerited the full quirk yet. (Duh, All Might is still going around superhero-ing even though he’s passed the quirk on, which I took to mean that it would transfer over time and not in a single instant - wasn’t this out-right stated?) Also, at the beginning, Midoriya can only use 100% or 0% of One For All (of the percentage he’s already inherited from All Might). He hasn’t had any training and has no idea how to use it yet. The sheer power output breaks HIS ENTIRE BODY the first time he uses it. During the attack on the school, Midoriya is able to throw ONE PUNCH that isn’t a lethal shot. Just the one. He figures it out a bit more while training with Gran Torino. His SAFE LIMIT is a certain percentage of the power he has. If he goes over that, he damages his body. There’s a BIG difference between using 100% of One For All (All Might at the start of the series), using 100% of a percentage of One For All (Midoriya before All Might no longer had One For All), and using a percentage of a percentage of One For All (what Midoriya can use safely without injuring himself before the quirk was fully passed on to him). 

Would it make sense for every hero who has inherited One For All to pick people with quirks that work with One For All? Sure. But because we don’t have any actual proof of that process, it could be as simple as it was for All Might to chose Midoriya -- he chose someone with a good heart, and who just wanted to help people in any way he could. It’s also possible that All Might had way more training before he inherited One For All than Midoriya did, which could easily explain why he was able to use One For All right off the bat. He had more time to prepare his body for it. 

Also, if we realy want to talk about it, All Might wouldn’t have inherited 100% of All For One instantly either. It would have happened over time, just like we see with Midoriya, and while we see him training with Gran Torino and he isnt a muscle-bound giant (but still muscular), those could also be his earlier days of training. Gran Torino is beating the tar out of him in that scene/frame. Would a more tained All Might be letting Gran Torino just whoop his ass like that? My personal guess is that as he gained more experience using One For All, he also gained more body mass. There is a grand assumption that Midoriya is going to stay the size he is at the current point in the story. That is not a guarantee. He could also eventually become a buff giant like All Might and stay that way. Part of his training with Gran Torino is to emphasize that he should keep One For All activated. As All Might did. 

Another point to be made is that we don’t know what inheriting One For All looks like with anyone other than Midoriya (because he’s the protagonist and this is his story). Let’s look at Todoroki as an example. His father purposefully bred him to be the way he is. We are shown that he has other siblings as well, and all of them have different levels of each ability despite having the same parents (and allowing for the possibility of some of those kids having different mothers). I’m not even going to go into it beyond this: we don’t know if the differences we see between users of One For All are due to biological differences, or if the fact that the method of passing the quirk on is by DNA sharing would change something in the next person’s use of One For All. 

Let’s move backwards a bit to the drastic difference we see in All Might between his activated appearance and his seriously emaciated actual appearance. At least in part, this is visual shorthand - the stark difference between All Might, the grand, buff, perfect picture of a hero versus the emaciated, tired, injured Toshinori? Yeah, there’s a visual metaphor in there too, but I’ll let you guys suss that one out. All Might is unwell in the extreme. He is missing organs, he spits blood a TON (though it’s usually played for laughs), his eyes are sunken in. He looks like a walking corpse. There’s a reason for that. He’s dying. 

One more point to make here is that the assumption that One For All, because it is described as one that stockpiles power, does not have any of the actual quirk effects of previous users. We don’t know that. It is possible that the quirk was passed on to people with strength-specific quirks. We also don’t know that One For All isn’t an effect-stack quirk. (Note that I am playing devil’s advocate here -- I am making the point that saying One For All “stockpiles” quirks is vague enough that is allows for multiple ideas to possibly be true.)

Here’s my main problem with Film Theory when they tackle anime: they seem to be paying half attention to what’s right in front of them. I also had a ton of problems with the Film Theory done on Attack on Titan for much the same reason. Additionally, I know it is no accident that the third season of My Hero Academia is coming out and there’s a Film Theory about it. The same thing happened with Attack on Titan. I’ve noticed a ton of people point out innacuracies in the math done in one of the Fullmetal Alchemist theories. I didn’t have a problem with that one. I also didn’t have a problem with the one on Swoard Art Online (even though I loathe the actual anime).The difference was in the level of care that went into it. Even if some of the math may have been wrong (I am no expert -- this was something I was seeing endlessly and incredibly specifically in the comments on that particular video), they still did all that math. 

I’m not saying I don’t want any more theories on anime. I’m saying that there’s a clear difference between a quick popularity grab attempt and something that they actually care about making and it is painfully obvious which is which.

Do I wanna re-watch Sword Art Online?

Probably

Sinon Kirito or Leafa inspired dresses Get them in bodycon or skater style! Xs-3XL available!

Sword art online 🙌🙌🙌🙌

If you're gonna watch SAO2, I gotta warn you that GGO's eventual villain is a really creepy "nice guy" type and the show has a lot of rapey overtones in the finale, but nothing actually happens and I didn't think it was as awful as Fairy Dance. I'm still warning you though cause you tagged it trigger warning.

Thank you for the heads up.

It’s much appreciated.

This dude is seriously scary beyond belief like in episode 5 at the ending! Holy crap if I was Kirito I would have cried myself to sleep >.> 

Happy Birthday, Asuna!😍❤️🎁🎉🎊
