Deku got the quirks that the past OFA quirk user had (not including OFA). How come All Might didn't get them also?

  • I haven’t watched all of the series yet, but my guess would be a “Plot Power” type trope – Wondercricket Feb 18 '21 at 01:48
  • Because otherwise, the story would'nt have been about Deku... – RigaCrypto Feb 18 '21 at 09:00
  • It could be a power that he doesn't even know he has – David Folch Agulles May 17 '21 at 13:25
  • [Fandom Wiki](https://myheroacademia.fandom.com/wiki/One_For_All) claimed that "*The current user, Izuku Midoriya, has the exclusive ability to access the Quirks of previous One For All users.*" So, it's not only All Might but possibly the rest of the previous users also didn't get it. (no reference though) – Aki Tanaka Oct 11 '22 at 12:52
  • @AkiTanaka That is correct on that. I recently watched an episode surrounding this arc, and Nana Shimura (the 7th under of OFA) had a similar vision to Midoriya before he unlocked the previous users quirks. However, Nana was told (paraphrased) "it is not time yet" – Wondercricket Oct 12 '22 at 02:03

My guess is All Might might have stopped after having power to beat any type of enemies and he didn't even get to think of the future that at someday he might lose his power or maybe he understood the power given by his mentor whereas Deku wanted to learn where this power comes from and what can make him more powerful... More like that power generates from emotion and doubt

Because when All Might gave Deku the quirk One For All, it took his power. In episode 48, "Symbol of Peace", he lost it at the end of the episode.

And it's explained in episode 98, "That Which is Inherited", that the quirks of the previous One For All users have mixed in with its core, and they will unlock over time. He's told that he will unlock six quirks in total, starting with "Blackwhip" which appeared in that episode. And when it got passed on, Deku inherited all of One For All's power.
