Deku Goes Into Overdrive
Deku has been using One for All as well as he can for the entirety of the series. He’s the ninth wielder of the quirk and has been gradually gaining access to the previous users' abilities. He finally has access to all of the other quirks before his fight with Shigaraki, allowing him tocreate one of themost powerful attacksthe series has shown so far.By combining his quirks Fa Jin and Gearshift, he can create immense power seemingly out of nowhere. He uses the two quirks together to create the Overdrive ability and deliver a blow that exceeds his own limits:120% Detroit Smash.
My Hero Academia’s Final Chapter Confirms What Deku’s Real Power Is
Deku learns to use many super-powered Quirks in My Hero Academia’s story, but his own special ability will be more helpful to future generations.
The animation during this fight was supreme.The artist behind it is Hirota Kohei, a young animator who started his career by posting fanart ofOne PieceandMy Hero Academia, and made his professional debut on the staff of theOne Pieceanime while still a student. Kohei is famous for his use of lightning, and it truly shows in this scene. While Deku uses his abilities,he’s bathed in a prismatic hue of brilliance.He radiates every color there is while he’s flying at Shigarki and his eyes emit an incredible blue-green light.
Bones knocked it out of the park with this episode, bringing one of the best fights inMy Hero Academiato life through pristine animation and keen audio. Fans are engaging and discussing it online just a week after theMy Hero Academiamanga ended, proving that the anime and its stellar quality are keeping the passion for the series alive.
My Hero Academia’s Creator Has a Unique Definition of Hero, & It Proves What Makes the Series So Special
My Hero Academia’s author revealed his unique definition of what makes a true hero, which has shaped Deku’s story and made it special to fans.
Deku uses all of his quirks together to land a battle-defining blow on Shigaraki. He uses Smokescreen to evade him, Float to get an angle, Danger Sense to detect him, Blackwhip to get a hold of him, and finally, a brutal combination of Fa Jin and Gearshift to attack. Watching Midoriyafinally use all of his quirks together after all this time was incredibly satisfyingand Bones' top-tier animation made it even better.
This confrontation between Deku and Shigaraki (whose body is now almost completely possessed by All for One) is one of the true climaxes of the whole series, masterfully crafted and delivered by Horikoshi in the manga. Seeing that the production studio put that much effort into bringing the author’s vision to life must feel incredibly rewarding to fans ofMy Hero Academia, who can still enjoy their favorite series weekly, despite its recent conclusion.
