by

This article contains spoilers from My Hero Academia‘s Ending.

Summary

  • Deku gained powers through an iron suit from his friends.
  • His suit mimics various One For All abilities, enhancing his strength.
  • Deku can still use Vestige powers and combine different abilities.

Last year, My Hero Academia concluded following the finale of its epic Final War. Although it was thrilling for fans to watch, a tinge of disappointment lingered among them due to an unexpected turn of events. In the final battle of My Hero Academia, despite all the excitement, Deku unfortunately lost his powers – something he had tirelessly worked on and perfected throughout the series.

Towards the conclusion of the series, viewers witnessed Deku forfeiting the power of One For All, as he was determined to defeat All For One, the most formidable villain. In the end, Deku accomplished this feat, but at a tremendous cost. Although small remnants of One For All remained within him, they eventually faded away, leaving Deku devoid of his quirk once more. However, Horikoshi addressed this issue in an engaging manner by introducing new and captivating abilities for Deku towards the story’s end. Now, the author has unveiled how some of these new powers function.

Deku Gained An Iron Suit At The End Of My Hero Academia

  • Bakugo, All Might, and The Other Students Pitched In
  • Deku Became A Hero Again

In the world of My Hero Academia, viewers witnessed a heart-wrenching moment when Deku temporarily lost his powers. But what made it even more disheartening was seeing him grow distant from his friends as the plot unfolded. Since they were all engaged in their hero duties and he was working at UA High School, they gradually drifted apart. This separation was tough for fans to watch. However, manga artist Horikoshi rectified this situation beautifully near the end of the story. There, Deku had a reunion with All Might and received another special gift.

Previously, All Might bestowed upon Dekz a strand of his own hair, imbuing him with the One For All power. Later, Dekz received a Hero Suit from All Might – a high-tech version of the one All Might used in the battle against All For One during the ultimate war. It turned out that Bakugou had footed the bill for this suit, with Class 1-A students and All Might contributing as well. This monumental gift, which Dekz had truly deserved, enabled him to resume his role as a Hero. Thus, the narrative concluded on a positive note. Now, Horikoshi is delving into Dekz’s newly acquired abilities.

Deku’s Iron Suit Can Copy All His Former Quirks

Deku Can Still Use The Vestige Powers

Although Deku may no longer be able to utilize the One For All as before, that aspect is inconsequential. His innovative suit now grants him the abilities of the One For All in an alternate manner. Here’s a quote from Horikoshi on this topic:

“Deku might not have access to the One For All in its traditional sense, but his newfound powers still embody the spirit and essence of the quirk.

Question: How does the armor that Deku received from Class A function?

Horikoshi explains that this creation attempts to replicate diverse powers of the OFA, such as the Black Whip-like cable extensions it features. Additionally, it serves as a testing ground for him to experiment with combining different abilities.

As Horikoshi explains, Deku has the potential to utilize all the abilities granted by One For All (OFA) with relative ease. It’s important to note that Deku isn’t limited to just Black Whip; he can potentially harness other OFA abilities as well.

For example, Deku might be able to channel stored energy similar to Fa Jin, which allows for powerful strikes. Moreover, he could potentially develop the ability to float or fly, much like One For All’s original user, All Might.

Additionally, there may be an opportunity for Deku to use a radar-like power akin to danger sense. Lastly, it’s possible that he could incorporate a very powerful strength booster into his repertoire, mimicking the effects of One For All.

It’s important to remember that technology has advanced significantly since the conclusion of the Final War. While All Might’s armor suffered extensive damage in his battle against All For One, Deku’s armor remains robust and is superior, given its high cost and role in making Deku the Number 4 Hero.
