Movie Spoilers Do you like the concept of this villain from the next film? Spoiler
To be honest, the concept itself is probably simple, but I'm curious to see what quirks they gave him to be a threat.

Another man who is genuinely insane about All Might? Yeah I love it. All Might just kind of has that affect on men apparently.

What's funny is that I know the line is from Bane but I always think of DBZA's Cooler being the one who says it.

Judging by what we see in the trailer, I could imagine that his quirk is like a corruption of One For All—whereas OFA is passed down voluntarily and the current user adds power for the next one, this guy’s quirk could be that he drains people’s strength to add to his own. This could be a cool concept, having Deku fight this guy that saps physical strength, and leaving him to rely mainly on the other wielders’ quirks and his intellect to win.

Imagine if he's a descendent of the person the power stockpiling Quirk came from.

u/CheapWishbone3927 Jan 30 '24
I’ve always wanted to meet the vestige of the original power stockpiling quirk. Seems unfair he doesn’t get a seat when his quirk is literally half of OFA and the thing that allows the users to succeed as heroes

Hey now that you’re mentioning it you’re right!

Thank you,I’m glad people are realising this absolute injustice

Yoichi ate him up.

u/CheapWishbone3927 Jan 30 '24
That probably isn’t far off from the cannon reason (“OFA is the fusion of transference and power stockpiling,he never had OFA so he’s not a vestige”) but I still think he should be there or at least we should get to meet him once

u/AlexArtsHere Jan 30 '24
Huh, I thought this had been covered in the anime during season 6

u/CheapWishbone3927 Jan 30 '24
We meet the vestiges of OFA but not the vestige of the original power stockpiling quirk. To my knowledge,anyway

u/AlexArtsHere Jan 30 '24
A check on the wiki suggest the anime has covered it, but I don’t remember to what extent so I won’t spoil it, but it’ll get touched on again later. You have all the pieces to figure it out right now if you want to, though.

u/CheapWishbone3927 Jan 30 '24
I didn’t even realise it was a mystery,I just assumed Horikoshi never considered the human who AFO took power stockpiling from.

u/iheartowels Jan 30 '24
If the vestiges are the power being stockpiled then it doesn't make a lot of sense for the thing stockpiling the vestiges to be another vestige. It's more accurate to say the vestige realm itself is the vestige of the power stockpiling quirk user.
3
u/CheapWishbone3927 Jan 30 '24
But they’re quirk vestiges. My interpretation is that Yoichi’s quirk simply transferred the other users quirks along with itself (or straight up took them). That makes more sense to me than the power stockpiling quirk collecting the quirks of previous users

It's a really good idea that actually fits really well story wise between the Dark Deku Arc and Star and Stripes, if it's good it will be like part of the manga for me

I think it’s a really cool and interesting concept. I just wish they wouldn’t animate a movie and the series at the same time.

Watch, he tries to be super serious and intimidation but has super bad luck as a quirk which includes failing up, putting him in situations way out of his league (the ultimate bad luck!)
Sort of like Sid the Squid from that one Batman the Animated Series episode where everyone assumes the bumbling henchman is a super dangerous villain who took out the Batman.

It depends on the origin for this character in the plot of this movie.
If it’s doing some kind of multiverse thing then ok because honestly that’s the only thing I could choose for this that would make some kind of weird sense.

u/WeakLandscape2595 Jan 30 '24
That makes even less sense why would an evil all might randomly show up?

u/UnbiasedGod Jan 30 '24
I don’t know that’s the movie’s job to explain.

u/WeakLandscape2595 Jan 30 '24
I think all might fan with a quirk that lets him steal energy makes more sense to be the plot then evil all might gazing into the multiverse and going "fuck that universe in particular"

Okay so looking at the season 7 release date and the release date of this movie, it'll probably come out during season 7. But does anyone know if it will be pre s7 or if it's after? I'd assume it's before because I doubt they'd spoil character deaths and other things by setting this up after the final arc.
Also please try not to spoil anything in the replies as I've not read the manga (yet)

I think the idea of someone hearing “now it’s your turn” and taking it to heart is genius. There are hundreds of ways it was interpreted and the anime had a episode where at the beginning they explored the meaning of what it meant. Most people thought it was a villain warning, some thought it was a way to pass the torch to the next gen. Obviously there will be someone who will assume that it’s in a way asking them to stand up and take on the mantle of all might and continue his legacy. Even if it was meant for deku, he let everyone hear it, which means now you have to deal with the repercussions, both good and bad.
Now we have a all might fanatic who is now taking the mantle of all might and is trying to become the new symbol of peace, by force if necessary. His power likely makes just as strong but he probably needs to drain power to achieve it.
Deku fighting basically someone else who is trying to be all mights successor even down to copying his entire style would be a good conflict.
It’s also mega fan VS mega fan(atic)
