Been passively coming up with an AU where Izuku's got a fusion quirk since I'm back in my MHA era (And coz I never fully left my Steven Universe era lol) and I've kinda got the basics for it?

Like, I know that a lot of Izuku's fusions would follow SU's design trend - extra limbs, extra eyes, etc, and that they'd have abilities derived from their components' quirks (i.e. Izuku and Ochako's fusion can increase gravity, Izuku, Bakugou, and Mina's could shoot nitroglycerin and ignite it, etc.). I'm not completely sure if he'd have OFA in this? I've associated it with him for so long that it feels weird not to give it to him. Maybe he gets it later? idk

I've got some basic ideas for some of the fusions themselves figured out, too. His fusion with Eri would be a savant with Rewind and OFA but be terrified to experiment with their own quirk. Fusions with Bakugou are usually only pulled out when shit hits the fan, while Izuku and Ochako will fuse just for the fun of it. The one time Izuku and Mei fused ended with their fusion being perma-banned from the support labs.

The Missing Ingredient

Tonight I was casually rereading the chapters that are about to be adapted in the anime when something hit me, and now I have to talk about it ASAP even if it’s not fully fleshed out. You’re getting insomniac-Lin this time, folks.

So. Chapter 304, the one where Izuku finally gets to speak with the vestiges while he’s unconscious in the hospital, has bugged me since the day it came out. I couldn’t articulate it, but something about the way OFA was explained felt like conjecture, or like it was made up on the fly. Idk, it just seemed kinda weak. The detail that I think gets overlooked is that this “lore” is, in fact, conjecture. All Might’s, specifically. It’s his research and logical assumption that led to the conclusion that quirkless people are the only ones able to handle OFA. But we can and should consider the explanation given in 304, that whole business with the overflowing chalices, to be unreliable narration. It is simply a somewhat educated guess.

Like I said, I’ve thought this for a while, but I wasn’t able to get any further with it. Tonight, I went over it again, and I asked myself: other than the fact that All Might was quirkless, what else makes him different from his predecessors? All Might specifically compared himself to the 4th, the one who died of old age, so I did the same. Well… the only other thing about the 4th that stands out is that he spent his life totally alone. This fact is emphasized clearly, and yet, it’s significance is hiding in plain sight: what if the isolation is what killed him?

Thematically, this story has established the dangers and damaging effects of isolation many times, from All Might’s lonely career, to the Todoroki family’s dysfunction, to society’s abandonment of the villains, to Izuku’s misadventures as a solo act. I could go on, but the point is, we are led to see that people become their worst selves when they are alone. Horikoshi has drilled this idea so deeply into the way I analyze bnha that I now look at the 4th and see that he epitomizes the flaw of self-isolation. He kept well hidden and he devoted himself to training, but in the end it wasn’t enough. What is enough? Why is Yagi Toshinori still alive to this day despite the fate Night Eye saw for him? Unless you believe he’s still bound to die, which I don’t, then there’s one simple reason: Izuku. It wasn’t only All Might who changed Izuku’s life, but also the other way around. Because of Izuku, Toshinori gradually regained his sense of purpose and drive, his very will to keep living even when “All Might” was long gone. Because of their bond, he is given the gift of a life beyond passing the torch of OFA. That in itself is something no previous OFA user has ever had before. THAT, if you ask me, is what sets him apart. So what does that say about OFA?

Let’s backtrack for a second. Chapter 304 also directly states that OFA drastically changed about four months prior:

I think we can accept this as reality because it’s just an observation, BUT. What’s odd is it’s left without a “why.” As in, why did it change? Was it simply the “right time?” Was there a trigger? Was it a milestone of Izuku’s strength? No definitive explanation is offered. I decided to look back on “four months ago” and see if I could pick up on anything. Of course it’s referring to when Izuku first had a vision of his predecessors in a dream, and when he unlocked blackwhip—but again, no one knew “why now?” I found that the progress made in this arc is actually nicely summarized in chapter 257:

Here we see that Izuku finally feels like he has a place in the world and a true connection with people he cares about, specifically with Toshinori and Katsuki. Incidentally, this is also the chapter where we learn that the previous OFA users all died young, and it ends with Toshinori talking about what it means for him to keep living. It’s no longer about “helping” in the way he used to as a hero, but just being there for others as a person. So the growth of OFA coincides with Izuku’s developing relationships.

The logical assumption that I’m now going to make is that Toshi’s consciousness in the OFA realm exists because of the connection he forged with Izuku. His fire-y spectral presence is not a vestige at all, not even remotely the same thing as the other previous users, which are only there because of their quirk factors. They are more like memories of people, whereas Toshi’s is a manifestation of a living soul. Still, we would be led to assume it only forms within OFA because Toshinori himself once had the quirk. However…

Katsuki is involved now too. And I don’t think we can claim he is a previous OFA user since Heroes Rising is only loosely canon and the transfer was never completed anyway. Rather, like Toshinori, Katsuki is a deeply important person in Izuku’s life, and that apparently is enough. Since Toshinori normally has a slight psychic connection to his OFA manifestation, my guess is Katsuki also had this vague sort of sense, and maybe a ghostly manifestation of his own, but in his current near-death state, that signal is strengthened to the point where he is fully aware and present inside OFA. As for the reason he’s in a separate setting to the vestiges, and Toshinori’s manifestation is also there, it’s like a Venn diagram. The previous users are in one place, living people closest to Izuku are in another, and Ghost Toshi can go between them because he is both, the overlap of the Venn diagram. Regardless of these technical details though, I think the clues point to the idea that OFA grows from and is meant to be used by someone who is interdependent and has supportive relationships, while isolation causes it to behave like a parasite. The concept also lends itself well to OFA affecting/providing power to others, namely Katsuki, if one is so inclined to those theories. Where I’m at right now, I just think OFA and its wielder have finally gained something they’ve been missing all along. But Izuku still has to fully embrace that.

So I've been re-reading BNHA to get caught up (I'm on chapter 304), and it's interesting to see how different I feel about stuff this time around. A lot has changed in my life over the past few years, including my personal politics and my understanding of the world. One big thing that happened was that I both became more disabled and finally got over my hangups around whether or not I'm "allowed" to call myself disabled. So this time around I'm seeing the work through the lens of being disabled, neurodivergent, and chronically ill. It's really wild to suddenly see how disability is everywhere, and effects pretty much every aspect of the story

It's not just that there are a lot of disabled characters (though there definitely are), but how many of the themes touch on or relate to disability. Right from the start, with Izuku's "people aren't created equal" bit, which is explicitly linked to his lack of ability to do something other people can. Quirklessness, as well as other "weak" quirks, can be easily read as a metaphor for disability. I would even argue that Touya's quirk is a disability in that society

Eugenics is also a big theme in BNHA. The whole toe joint thing explicitly links having a quirk to being "more evolved", and both groups like the MLA and individuals like Endeavor clearly hold eugenicist ideals. Historically speaking, disabled people have been heavily targeted by eugenics (though we're not the only group by any means). Geten even says "people with weak quirks should die to make room for stronger people" to Touya because of his disability

There are also themes that touch on interdependence and the fact that no one ever really does things entirely on their own. That concept isn't exclusive to disability, but it's an important part of understanding it. Izuku talks a lot about how he's only gotten as far as he has because of the help he's gotten from others. Monoma's bit about knowing what he can't do and not being able to be a "main character" also echoes how I feel about my own capabilities as a disabled person (and tbh I could write a whole meta on him being coded as disabled). I know my limitations, I know how to work within them, and I know that pushing myself beyond my limits in search of some mythical "self-sufficiency" would only break me in the end

On the opposite side of that, we see characters who do push themselves beyond their limits and pay the price. Aizawa is the clearest example of this. As a teenager he struggled to do things on his own, but was able to accept the support of his friends so that he didn't have to. But after Shirakumo's death, the way he coped with his grief was by forcing himself to try to become self-sufficient (I say try because no one ever really is). He clearly internalizes the idea that a hero can't afford to rely on others, and even passes that on to Shinsou. And that isn't healthy. Aizawa's been running himself ragged for fifteen years, much in the same way that disabled people who are capable of working are forced to under capitalism

Anyway, this isn't super carefully thought out or anything, the idea just popped into my head so I had to write about it. I didn't really touch on mental health/neurodivergence, but that's because I have a lot of complicated feelings about how that shows up in BNHA that would need their own meta to explore. I might add more later, but if y'all wanna expand on this go ahead (but if you're abled, stay in your lane)

-Oliver (it/its)

given that quirks are genetic there is a theory that if a ofa user had a kid /descendants they would inherit some of the sparks and could stand having more than one quirk basically its that bakugou is a descendant of second user and that because of this he would be able to use ofa without the detriment same to tenko

Maybe. Although it would contradict pretty much everything Chapter 304 said (like how All Might was the first user who truly made OFA his own quirk), but OFA-lore is so shady, I can imagine whatever bullshit explanation. The whole "only quirkless people can use it" was also clearly a retcon so there is no issue after the war to explain why Deku should keep it.

I am personally not a fan of Bakugou being related to the 2nd (I simply don't see what it brings to his character, and I do like Bakugou's outsider and genetic jackpot background) and I really don't want his upgrade to be Deku giving him OFA.

He just upgraded his quirk after the war, barely saw him fight with it, and then got a second upgrade of full-body explosions, which we saw for exactly one page. I don't mind Bakugou tapping into OFA somehow for a boost or if Deku's quirk allows somehow to share it around temporarily, but I don't think Deku transferring it in this endgame would work as well as it did in the heroes rising setting.

And I want Bakugou's wins to be on his own merit, not because Deku bestows something on him.

I don't mind though if Deku uses some of OFA's power to heal Bakugou (and maybe depletes the power). But to me, the only good endgame is if OFA disappears from the BNHA world, together with AFO.

Something I wish to know is that if the damage generated while Tomura used the AFO quirk can be reverted immediately by regeneration, which means that even if Tomura loses the AFO quirk, he'd have no lasting damage for its use.

I said it because we know that some of the lines in Tomura's body are due to the strain created from using multiple quirks in a single body.

On the contrary (I don't think it's what will happen but I'm doing the worst case scenario here), if the regeneration quirk couldn't protect Tomura from the effects of being the user of multiple quirks at the same time, then Tomura's body could collapse on its own.

Yet another alternative is that Tomura's new body mutation would make up for that, maybe?

Anyway, here are the panels that evidence what I'm saying: * check ATL text for the transcripts.

In chapter 304, the fourth vestige talks about being the user of multiple quirks, the crack that appeared on his body and the why he died.

And these are some of the most recent panels (bnha 414) of Tomura, where you can see the paralleled lines on his face. They've been there since Doc Garaki did the surgery to have him AFO's quirks
