Would Deku Pass On a Variation of a Stockpile Quirk to His Child with OFA?

Ever since the introduction of One For All (OFA) in My Hero Academia, fans have been fascinated with its unique properties and how it could affect future generations. If Izuku Midoriya, otherwise known as Deku, were to have a child while possessing OFA, would the child inherit a variation of a stockpile quirk? This article explores the possibilities based on current series lore and theories.

Quirk Inheritance and OFA

In the My Hero Academia world, quirks are typically inherited genetically. If Deku had a child, the offspring might receive OFA, though the specifics would depend on the quirk manifestation in the offspring. Given OFA's unique ability to accumulate power and store abilities from previous users, the child could inherit a variation of this stockpiling ability.

Stockpiling Ability and Unique Variation

With OFA, the user can stockpile power, leading to the question: could the child inherit a similar ability? A child with OFA could potentially develop a stockpiling quirk, manifesting in various forms. For example, they might have the ability to temporarily store and release energy similar to OFA but with their unique twist. Alternatively, the stockpiling ability could be combined with another quirk, resulting in a entirely new unique ability.

Combination of Quirks

In the event that the other parent also possesses a quirk, the combination of OFA and the child's inherent quirk(s) could lead to an entirely new and unique power. This could blend elements of both quirks, creating something entirely new and interesting.

Theories and Speculations

Adding to the complexity of the inheritance of OFA, there are several theories and speculations about the quirks and the DNA aspect of One For All:

Quirk Integration: One For All is considered a combination of two quirks, namely Transfer and Stockpile Power, but it's a single quirk. If Deku were to pass on this multiple-quirk combination, the child would inherit a blend of both quirks. Possible Offspring Scenarios: If Deku had a child with Uraraka, several outcomes are possible:

1. Zero Gravity: The child could inherit the Zero Gravity quirk, similar to some of the previous users of OFA.

2. Quirkless: It’s possible the child could be quirkless, inheriting a recessive genetic trait from either parent.

3. Original Power Stocker/Transfer: This would be extremely rare, as these quirks are considered weak individually.

4. Combination Quirk: A combination of Power Stocker/Transfer and Zero Gravity, resulting in a unique blend.

5. Grandparental Inheritance: If the child inherits recessive genes, they could manifest quirk traits of the grandparents, such as Attraction of Small Objects, Fire Breath, or quirks from Uraraka's parents.

6. Mutation: The child could inherit a mutation, resulting in a completely new quirk, similar to the case of Eri.

7. Previous User Quirk: The child could inherit a variation of a quirk from a previous user, even if they're not part of the family lineage, as their quirk genes are stored in OFA.

Could Deku Lose His Quirk?

It's important to note that if Deku were to pass on a variation of his power, he wouldn't lose One For All. Instead, the child would inherit a variation of his power, rather than giving up his own quirk.

Conclusion

While the inheritance of OFA with a child is intriguing, the actual outcome relies on various genetic and quirk-related factors. The possibility of the child inheriting a variation of a stockpile quirk, either independently or in combination with another quirk, makes for compelling speculation in the My Hero Academia universe.
