Or maybe it continuously stockpiles strength. Even the first bearer of OFA had stronger strength than baseline human after all.
If true, that would imply that the power can run out although with 8 previous bearers of OFA, it's not going to run out any time soon (even All Might isn't exerting power non-stop and he probably made the most prolific use of it). I don't see any evidence for how it works though so we can only conjecture until more information is provided. |

Additionally, the quirk itself grows through use, training & transference. Basically, it's buffing power is not "No. Of Past Users x User's Starting Limits" but more like "Original Power + No. Of Past Users x Past Development of User's Quirks x User's Starting Limits". Well, that's how I see it, anyway. Oh, and, while it doesn't pass on Quirks (because doing so would require major transformations of the body that the power cannot replicate), it's possible that part of Strength Quirks could have a greater impact on the inherited power due to the similarities between the Quirk that mixed with Growing Inheritance to create OFA. Edit Add: I most certainly did not use the in-comic names of the two quirks that combined, instead using a rough nickname that explained their basic power. The given names of the two quirks might help prove or disprove my interpretation, but I can't go check them right at the moment. Just a FYI. Last edited by Darius Drake; 2017-06-06 at 21:34. |

Theory wise, I personally think that OFA by nature, is a form of generator with multiplier factor, Instead being growing their own muscles, OFA multiply the strength of the user using some form of power sources - in our case, the power sources is the strength of the previous carrier. This way was possible to explain how OFA can output power greatly exceed the carrier muscle mass(Deku). So depend on power sources, the multipliers factors that each individual carrier can give to OFA is different.
OFA obviously cannot be a strength stockpiling quirk, since by actual number, a person who is supposed to have around 5 times strength of an average adult man can only lift a small at most. And this person is going to kill himself without muscles durability, reflex, ...etc 5 times of normal man, if Deku is assuming, carry 9 people worth of strength, 1 single full power would torn of his entire muscle system. And OFA clearly far exceed 9 peoples worth of strength, seeing how it could easily tore open an entire building in the fight with Bakugou. |

If it's continuously stockpiling and doesn't involve muscles then there's a way it can work:
Inspired by the Mistborn feruchemical system, my idea is that basically strength is saved over time and can be utilized within a shorter time to increase the force. So if you can exert 200 pounds of continuous force over 10 seconds then if it were stored and utilized over 5 seconds, then you'd have 400 pounds of force. Continuously storing strength over 9 lifetimes and explosively using the force in <0.1 second bursts while bypassing muscles (it's the kickback that does damage) seems in line with what we see. There might be limits to how much strength can be condensed as well as how short a period of time it can be condensed into. |

^but how than someone get "used" to it? afterall a body does only have a certain level it can reach, no matter how much one trains it would be impossible becoming able to spam that strength without hurting ones own body (basically AM would be impossible)

I do think that Deku simply needs to learn to use the part of OFA that lets you endure its power. In the meantime, maybe he could unleash 100% but use 50% of it to cancel out the opposite force on his limbs. Being able to use 50% of OFA without any drawback would be amazing when coupled with his analysis. Last edited by ChronoReverse; 2017-06-07 at 18:35. |

How this relates to OFA is, assuming that ChronoReverse is correct (I disagree, but their explanation does make sense), the reason and solution for Deku's "Recoil" problems is that he, honestly, just needs to train himself more. The more he trains himself, the higher his resistance to the backlash would grow, and the more of the full power can be utilized. Oh, and, in relation to my disagreement, my reasoning is that previously stockpiled power can be used up, and OFA hasn't shown any evidence of that being possible at any point in time. Additionally, that would likely mean that All Might, after handing his power over to Deku, should have completely lost all the historically stored power, meaning that he wouldn't be able to utilize it any more, which can be seen isn't the case. |

Sounds like no MHA this week, due to Horikoshi's sudden illness (according to ANN). I hope he's careful with his health, this just happened in March too. Its a good time for MHA with the anime second season going (and its an awesome adaptation), but his health is the more important thing. Just hope he's not pushing himself too hard.

OFA probably wasn't all that strong till the 5th or 6th generation.

Suneater proved to be a real powerhouse. He wasn't bluffing when he said he was enough to take down the three of them.
Interesting that these villains don't seem all that bad. They were just unjustly rejected by society.
