How Can All Might Have A Muscle Form? Quick Q&A

Wait? Would the memory component explain why Deku can imitate All Might's face so well?

Nana Shimura was a pretty muscular woman, wether that was due to one for all or simple training is unclear but then All Might received the power and he seems to be an even more muscular human. Gran Torino said that was All Might greatest asset in using the power, that he could withstand it immediately. But he wasn’t as big as his current muscle form in the flashbacks that show him training. The muscle form may be something more akin to full cowling, manifesting it’s strength of all the precious holders as physical strength with All Might but after the power being passed on it gets even stronger it would just be too much power to manifest physically so it does so as energy, in the lighting that comes from Deku?

All might is the only one we’ve seen with a muscle form

It would be funny if Mineta gets a buff like All might in the future. I can see it

I thought that the muscle form was a quirk it's self and all might just didn't know he had it. Like maybe he needs to have enough energy running through him to transform and one for all is that energy. You can see that deku's body isn't big enough to contain all of the energy as he has a visible aura.

tbh i think it has to do with him losing most of his organs and stomach. We got drawings of all might in his young days and that small clip of how all might master{the old guy} train him. he looked perfectly fine. i believe all might buff form was his actual form at a time before his critical injury.

Izuku is so smart that I think it’s weird that he never thought “Wait, since All Might got OFA from someone else, what was his original quirk? Was he Quirkless?” before All Might told him. I guess Izuku was too distracted by everything going on to wonder about that

This is actually a pretty good theory, if u saw Gran Torino's flashback.Toshinori(all might) was bigger than his skeletal form though nowhere as big as his muscle form. Quite likely one for all remembers each of its torchbearers progression and will record its peak level,so the allmight in Gran Torino's flashback was likely how toshinori look like in his youth as Gran torino claimed he only has his body as an asset. The skeletal form was likely a result of the injury all for one cause, due to damaging many internal organs.

It's basically the same as Goku's SSJ4, in GT he's a kid, but as soon as he transforms his body goes back to what it was in its prime

I'd like to think of One For All as more like a yeast or something like that. Like you feed it and feed it by expanding it and your strength and in turn its capabilities increase. Then when you pass it on, they have that "yeast" to feed so not only do they strengthen their endurance to One For All, they eventually increase the quirk's power parallel to the endurance. All this talk of snapshooting and stuff miiiight make the quirk seem smarter and/or sentient than it is imo. Unless..... That's the twist with it..... :thinking_emoji:

This is exactly what I think it is! OFA remembers All Might's prime and using it brings it back

I completely agree with this, especially considering Gran Torino was approximately 7ft tall in his youth yet is about 4'2 now. That shows a precedent in the show for a person's physical appearance drastically diminishing as they get older. This would also back up what All Might said about flexing at the beach, it's literally what he's doing he's just going plus ultra with it lol Thank you so much for this video cause up until now I was convinced that All Might had a secret quirk this whole time that allowed him to change physical forms.

I think before all for one the muscle form was all might’s true form but when he got injured his true self was only in the shadows only able to activate for a short time, it’s a good representation on when athletes lose their prime due to age or sometimes injury they are only small flames of their true selves

I think it has to do with how OFA manifests in the individual user. Deku has the green lightning to signal his power output, All Might has the power go directly to his muscles, thats why he doesn't glow or shoot lightning everywhere. Also when AFO takes a quirk from one person and gives it to another in that flashback, the spikes show up differently on each person, showing that the quirk's essential power stays the same but the way it manifests changes.

this actually makes a lot of sense. thanks, keep up the hard work👍🏽

Smoke quirk. I mean, the 'steam' (I believe) is coming out of his body every time when he hits his limits and only happens from his muscle form. I could be wrong. But if I'm right, I CALLED IT!.💨💪

YESSSS! Thank you; I’ve been trying to make sense of All Might’s ‘muscular form’ since I started watching the series, and have been unable to come up with a viable explanation. All might use to be buff AF, and due to injury isn’t, so when one-for-all is used, it boosts him to that physical level is sublime. Thanks, I will sleep easier tonight.

I always thought that since OFA has a stockpile quirk. One of OFA predecessors had a quirk that made them buff. All might uses that quirk but Izuku hasn't yet discovered how to use it

Toshinori Even quirkless at UA had his bangs Down, with scraggly bits behind it. He however could flex his muscles after Alot of bodily training and achieve a taller Captain America like form, in which he was able to use 100% of one for all, since he had trained his body, and his body Already knew how to hold that kind of strength in.

Basically, to be able to hold one for all in your body, you need to have a proper body. ALL Might had a proper body when he received one for all, but he lost it after the surgeries. So when he acctivates one for all, automatically he goes in the muscular form.
