Unraveling the Most Mysterious Quirks in My Hero Academia!

by

Summary

  • One For All evolves through multiple users, passing down unique abilities to Midoriya in My Hero Academia.
  • Kurogiri’s Warpgate Quirk is revealed to have a dark origin connected to Aizawa and Mic in the series.
  • Eri’s Rewind Quirk, with a unique energy aspect, holds mysterious potential for undoing more than just people.

In the universe of My Hero Academia, there are numerous Quirks, some of which are easy to grasp, but others have remained enigmatic and somewhat elusive throughout the series. The reason for this is often because the full extent of the Quirk’s potential remains undiscovered, or its abilities are only gradually revealed over an extended period in the story. As a result, these enigmatic Quirks have sparked much debate among fans, due to their intriguing and mysterious nature.

In his creative flair, author Kohei Horikoshi never fails to amaze us with fresh powers for each new character, making every reveal an exciting spectacle. Yet, it’s the enigmatic nature of these abilities presented in “My Hero Academia” that truly sparks intrigue and debate among fans. Let’s delve into the most puzzling Quirks that have captured our imagination so far.

8. One For All

The Secrets Hidden Within One For All Reveal Themselves Over Time

  • Users: Midoriya, All Might, Previous Vestiges

From the beginning, it was evident that One For All boosted a user’s strength significantly, as shown by All Might in the premiere episode. However, there seemed to be more hidden depths to this Quirk, which left fans speculating about its ultimate capabilities. It wasn’t until the Joint Training arc that hints of its full potential began to surface.

By the time Midoriya obtained One For All, all its previous bearers had established a connection with it. In essence, they were ready to impart their Quirks to Midoriya, assisting him in defeating All For One. The anticipation of discovering what each unique ability entailed and speculating if One For All might undergo further evolution later in the narrative added an exciting element to the story.

7. Warp Gate

An Overpowered Quirk With A Very Strange And Unpredictable Backstory

  • User: Kurogiri

As a silent observer, I find Kurogiri intriguingly enigmatic within the narrative of the series. Unlike other characters who engage in dialogue, he remains wordless throughout, yet his actions speak volumes. His unique Quirk, Warpgate, is nothing short of peculiar – it grants him the ability to generate portals for instant transportation, not just for himself but also for his comrades. Time and again, during critical moments like the Hideout Raid arc, he demonstrates this power by swiftly rescuing the League of Villains from impending confrontations with the heroes.

In the story, we later discover that Kurogiri, who ended up in Tartarus prison, wasn’t naturally born with his abilities. Instead, he is actually their childhood friend, Oboro, who met a tragic end in an accident. All For One transformed Oboro into a Nomu and used his Cloud Quirk as the foundation to develop Warpgate, explaining why it seemed so perfectly crafted.

6. Rewind

Rewind’s Full Potential Remains A Mystery

  • User: Eri

The ability known as Rewind might appear straightforward at first glance, but there remains a great deal about its full capabilities that we have yet to fully comprehend. This is mainly due to the fact that its user, Eri, is still quite young. One peculiar aspect of Rewind is the horn that Eri develops as a result of having this power. This horn serves as an indicator of the amount of energy Eri has accumulated within her quirk, which allows her to detach it and pass it on to Midoriya towards the closing chapters of the narrative.

Most quirks are either innate to a person or manifest as external mutations, so possessing both is quite unusual. Additionally, the extent of Eri’s quirk, as well as its potential for awakening, remains unknown. This mysterious power might not only affect people, but could potentially revert objects and even alter the world itself.

5. High Spec

How Nezu Obtained His Quirk Is Up For Debate, Though There Are Still Some Clues

  • User: High Specs

Nezu is an exceptional case of an animal possessing a seemingly innate Quirk. His gift of High Specs grants him intelligence far surpassing the average human’s, making him one of UA High’s leading figures. Not much is known about his past, but it’s been hinted that he was subjected to experiments by humans, which may explain his rather grim sense of humor.

Is it uncertain whether Nezu acquired his unique ability (Quirk) naturally at birth, or if it was bestowed upon him through scientific experiments by others? While the truth about Nezu’s Quirk origins might remain a mystery, this only adds to its intrigue.

4. All For One

The Ultimate Quirk Ability Sounded Too Good To Be True

  • User: All For One

In the narrative, I didn’t physically encounter All For One until the villains abducted Bakugo. However, All Might frequently referenced him as a sort of legend, a figure that everyone seemed to know, but were wary to discuss. Moreover, the details surrounding his extraordinary Quirk were left vague, its capacity to assimilate other people’s powers sounding almost mythical. Yet, the audience’s skepticism was put to rest when All For One crossed paths with All Might, leading to an unforgettable confrontation – one of the most spectacular battles in the series, showcasing just how incredibly potent this Quirk truly is.

Fans are still curious about how many Quirks All For One can steal and what enhancements these abilities offer, given their power and mobility boosts. However, due to All For One’s immense strength, it’s challenging to fully grasp its hidden capabilities. Despite being featured several times in the narrative, this aspect of the story was a significant mystery until All For One himself was formally introduced.

3. Gearshift

The Second’s Quirk Didn’t Reveal Itself Until Near The End Of The Story

  • Users: Midoriya, Kudo

After Midoriya discovers that he will inherit all past One For All users’ powers during the Joint Training arc, these abilities gradually manifest throughout the narrative. Yet, unlike Blackwhip, Float, and several others which Midoriya frequently uses against difficult adversaries, the second user’s power remained enigmatic, seldom mentioned until the story’s conclusion.

The power behind Gearshift is so immense that Midoriya can only employ it in critical situations. This Quirk grants him an incredible surge of strength and speed, yet the cost is significant as using it quickly depletes his oxygen levels and hinders his mobility. There was much speculation about what this ability might be before its unveiling, and it certainly lived up to expectations.

2. Object Attraction

Since Inko Prefers To Hide Her Quirk, Barely Anything Is Known About It

  • User: Inko Midoriya

As an onlooker, I find myself captivated by Inko’s Quirk, not because of its grandeur or spectacle, but rather due to its scarcity in the series. Intriguingly, this power hasn’t been given a name yet, adding to its mystique. However, what has been revealed is quite fascinating – it enables Midoriya’s mother to subtly manipulate small objects by generating unique hand movements, drawing them towards her.

The extent of this technique’s applicability, particularly on humans, remains uncertain. Additionally, the size limits of these objects are not clear, which would provide insights into its practicality. Its pros, cons, and boundaries are largely unknown, though at least viewers can observe it being used, unlike Midoriya’s father’s abilities.

1. Blue Blur

It Looks Like SEGA’s Mascot Somehow Found His Way Into The Hero Academy

  • User: Unamed Blue Hero

Readers of “My Hero Academia” are familiar with the fact that Horikoshi often includes cameos in his work. Among these cameos, one might stand out as particularly unusual. Although Denji from Chainsaw Man has already been featured, this character could give him a run for his money in terms of strangeness. For just one panel and scene in the series, it appears that this superhero is employing a power reminiscent of none other than Sonic the Hedgehog.

It’s reasonable to assume that this gives him increased speed, but we can speculate if his Quirk lets him perform a Spin Dash or gather rings for power-ups. This seems like a fun reference to the famous Blue Mascot, and it’s definitely been a topic of discussion among fans.
