My hero academia season 6 episode 131

While in a coma, Izuku meets with all the past users. And they give him some troubling information — he may be the final user of the quirk. As the fourth user of One-for-All explains, users of the quirk tend not to live that long. He only had the quirk for 18 years before dying at 40 from old age.

Among the pantheon of shonen super powers, One For All has been one of my favorites since its introduction. It's not that the power was inventive in a utilitarian sense — super strength is about the most bog standard power imaginable for a superhero. Rather, it being a power handed down from one generation to the next makes it the perfect thematic fulcrum for My Hero Academia. In a story where the very first moral was that acting in the face of danger inspires bravery in others, what better power is there than one that changes hands, accumulating and carrying on the spirit of all who carry it? More than simply a cool power for our protagonist to wield, One For All is a key part of the story's foundational ethos, so it's only fitting to get an episode dedicated to hashing out its nature and purpose. Unfortunately, One For All — and the characters attached to it — has gotten bogged down in a whole lot of gobbledygook along the way.

My hero academia season 6 episode 131

Not only does Izuku realize that he was never meant to be One For All 's successor, he realizes another terrible fate for his mentor based on Sir Nighteye 's Foresight : Toshinori Yagi will eventually die. Although he knew that everyone eventually dies, that fact cut Izuku through like a knife. Toshinori tells Izuku that when he met him, he told Nighteye about him, but Nighteye was vehemently against Izuku becoming One For All's successor, which further drove them apart. Toshinori and Nighteye argued on the phone regarding Izuku, Toshinori argued that Izuku was intent on saving others while Nighteye argued that intentions were not good enough since there are more capable candidates with the same intentions as Izuku. However, Toshinori stated that Izuku is Quirkless which made him a befitting candidate over the others. Toshinori says that after their heated debate over the succession of One For All, Nighteye took it upon himself to cultivate Mirio Togata , whom he believed to be the truly appropriate successor. Izuku asks Toshinori when Nighteye used his Foresight, when did it say that his death would occur and whether Nighteye's Foresight can be changed. However, Toshinori's answer crushes Izuku's hopes, that his death would occur in six to seven years and although there is a margin of error of his estimation into far events into the future, there is no changing what he sees in his Foresight. Izuku falls into despair, knowing that Toshinori will die this year or during the next. Izuku reminds Toshinori about the promise he made to him, that he will let the world know that he is here and he cannot die until that moment. Toshinori tells Izuku that after he learned of Nighteye's Foresight prediction about him, he accepted it with ease and because the goal was in sight, he ran full speed towards it.

However, the revelation of One For All's fatal flaw proves that the only reason why this Quirk was transmitted to Deku was mere luck.

The vestiges of the previous users of One For All tell Deku why he, just like All Might, is the only one who can safely wield their power, but this revelation adds to Midoriya's journey an element of complete randomness that hardly fits My Hero Academia 's overarching themes. Izuku Midoriya is one of the few people in the world of My Hero Academia who was born without a superpower Quirk. This brilliant premise allowed the story of the manga to flip the classic trope of "special" people being discriminated against like mutants in Marvel's X-Men stories. Against all odds, Izuku never gave up on his dream of becoming a hero, and he finally got his chance when he met his idol, the "Symbol of Justice", All Might. Midoriya joined U.

Season 6 is nothing short of a triumph for My Hero Academia. After a lackluster fifth season it introduces two new story arcs, Paranormal Liberation War and Dark Hero, match the best moments of the entire show to date — and even surpass them at times with stunning action animation and some emotional character moments that show how much these young heroes have come. This is My Hero Academia at its peak. Heroes as complacent celebrities who care more about sponsors than saving people but without the depravity of The Boys and a public that treats them as idols or just cops are ideas that have always been slowly brewing, and season 6 brings every plotline and theme to an explosive boil. The first half of the episode season contains some of the best action My Hero Academia has ever delivered, with stunning visual compositions and fluid fight scenes that display a wide variety of powers — whether that is Shigaraki pulling his best Tetsuo in Akira impression, or Dabi and Todoroki pulling a new version of Zuko versus Azula from Avatar: The Last Airbender. This is the darkest My Hero Academia has ever been, with brutal deaths and irreparable damage done both to our heroes and the world they inhabit, and season 6 pulls off those emotional moments masterfully. We get scenes with the emotional payoff of All Might's last stand at least two or three times throughout the season, with huge repercussions like Dab's reveal to the world, and they work because the story has spent over episodes building up to this. By the time we get the second opening theme of the season, Bokurano by Eve, it is clear there is no turning back to how things were.

My hero academia season 6 episode 131

One For All was born with the intent of stopping the villain All For One and his power to steal any Quirks, which is why it can't be taken from its user forcibly, with one, significant exception. In episode of My Hero Academia , an unconscious Deku meets the vestiges of the previous users of One For All in the ethereal realm of his mindscape. Their conversation unveils many mysteries about Midoriya's power and its relation with All For One. All For One believes that only an emotion stronger than the collective will of One For All can allow him to steal the Quirk, which is why he fostered Shigaraki to feel the greatest hatred possible against the world. After taking over Shigaraki's body, then, All For One should finally be able to get what he wants. The Quirk known as One For All is actually the result of the merging of two different abilities. When All For One forcibly gave his brother Yoichi an unnamed Quirk with the ability to stockpile power, this merged with Yoichi's own, yet-unrevealed Quirk, whose only ability was to be transferred to others.

Those closest to him — including many of his industry peers — have shared fond memories of their interactions and deep sadness at his passing. By focusing on the crying, lonely child instead of the twisted hatred surrounding him, Deku's proposing something radically empathetic; an act that may just be the key to a better future for MHA's world at large.
