Film Theory: My Hero Academia - All Might's SECRET Quirk! - Summary

Summary

The video discusses My Hero Academia, a popular anime series, and presents a theory that All Might, the main hero, was not born Quirkless as he claims. The creator of the video analyzes the Quirk system in the series and suggests that All Might's body undergoes a transformation when using his Quirk, One For All, which is not typical of an Emitter Quirk. He points out inconsistencies in how Deku, the successor of One For All, uses the Quirk without transforming his body, and how All Might's muscle form seems to be separate from his Quirk.

The video also explores the origin of One For All and how it was created by combining two Quirks, one of which was a latent, undiscovered Quirk. The creator suggests that All Might may have had a similar latent Quirk that allowed him to use One For All effectively, and that his Quirklessness may have been a story he told to inspire Deku.

The video concludes by promoting the anime streaming service VRV, which offers a 30-day free trial and access to various channels, including Crunchyroll and Funimation.
