when My hero academia In the beginning, no one anticipated that One For All, the powerful weirdness all could transfer to Deku through a lock of hair, would be a 7-in-1 deal. Since the Joint Training arc/Season 5, Deku began to resist Blackwhip, one of the quirks contained in One for All. As of the middle of the Last War arc/Season 7, Deku is finally seen using Gearshift, which now makes him able to use One For All in its entirety.
All quirks in One For All have different natures and they also have different levels of applicability, with some of Deku’s One For All quirks being more useful than others. Deku, being the brainiac that he is, employed all of them in a variety of ways, from his encounter against Lady Nagant, to the final showdown against Shigaraki. Just like any other action-packed series, events happen in the blink of an eye during fights, and keeping track of everything is required, so here’s a quick summary of all the quirks contained in One For All that Deku can use:
1
One for all
Type: Bucket
One for all is the backbone for all the other quirks because, with no one for all, all the quirks would have died with their users. One for all has two main characteristics: the first is its transferability, The attribute that allows it to be passed from one user to another. Yoichi, All For One’s brother, was One For All’s original user, until it was transferred to Kudo without Yoichi actually knowing it. A “side effect” of one for all being passed from person to person is that each user’s conscience remains within the quorum. That’s what Izuku sees in the western world.

The second characteristic of One For All is power accumulation and physical strengthening. This wasn’t clear when Yoichi was the sole user (and the transferability, for that matter), however The more the quark is transferred, the stronger it becomes. The downside is, however, that one for all overwhelms the body of its user if they have already had a strange thing before. Neither Deku nor All Might experienced this due to their quirkless nature, but it affected all of the other previous users, potentially killing his fourth user, Shinomori.
2
Gearshift
Type: Bucket
Gearshift originally belonged to Kudo, the second user of One For All. Because it is the last that Deku is allowed to use, not much about its functioning is seen. Gearshift works exactly as it sounds: much like when shifting gears when driving a vehicle, Gearshift controls the speed at which an object can go And, additionally, its trajectory too. The original Quirk Kudo could only control small objects, so he used it on bullets, but now the Quirk has evolved so that Deku can use it on himself. In this way, Gearshift functions similarly to Uravity’s Zero Gravity.
Deku used Gearshift to boost the speed of his already existing attacks, as seen in the epic combo of Detroit Smashes featured in the episode “A Chain of Events, Through the Ages”, and manga chapter 369 of the same name. Deku also used Gearshift combined with Fa Jin to make himself move so extraordinarily fast that it defied physics, like a true hero. However, this charm has the downside of being a huge physical waste, Kudo even warned Deku not to overuse it, because it could end up killing him.

Fa Jin
Type: Bucket
The easiest way to explain Fa Jin is to compare it to a clockwork toy. Fa Jin stores energy by doing repetitive movements, and this can be clearly appreciated when Deku stores energy in his legs while bouncing up and down when trying to escape from Lady Nagant. Deku often combines Fa Jin with the other quirks. This is how he initially gained speed when trying to reach the coffin in the sky after being pulled to Okuto Island by Toga. By activating Float and gaining momentum with Fa Jin and One For All, he is able to fly at an incredible speed.
Unlike with Gearshift, it is unclear if the Quirk has improved in any way since it was passed down from its original user Bruce, but what is true is that It also acts on one for all itself, further boosting the physical enhancement.
4
sense of danger
Type: Bucket
Perhaps the most interesting of all the quirks in One For All, Danger Sense is clearly a nod to Spider-Man’s spider-sense, as they have the same function. Danger Sense alerts its user of nearby threatsBut with a catch: as seen in Deku’s meeting with Toga in Okuto Island, the fact that Toga himself was convinced her actions came from love and meant no threat to Deku, Danger Sense did not activate. It doesn’t matter that the user of the opposition saw her as a threat.
Danger Sense also cannot guarantee that the user will be able to avoid the attack or neutralize the risk. It activated and alerted Deku of Lady Nagant’s bullets, but he still took damage from them. In a way, it is a very annoying quirk, as it only makes the user aware of danger, but figuring out how to avoid it, if it is even possible, is up to them.
5
Blackwhip
Type: Bucket
Blackwhip is the first post-Quark that Deku unlocks, it happened by accident in the Joint Training arc. As explained by its original user, Daigoro Banjo, it gives the user the ability to extend and use dark energy tendrils, almost like a whip. It is a very versatile quick. It can be used for quick transportation, binding enemies, rescuing peopleAnd even as a temporary brace for a damaged body part.
Cellophane helped Deku control Blackwhip, so now he can not only control how many whips he takes, but also their length and strength. An important factor Banjo mentioned that may not apply to other OFA quirks is this Control of emotions, of the heart. If Deku is not in control of them, Blackwhip is also uncontrollable.
6
Smokescreen
Type: Bucket
Smokescreen is a pretty straightforward exception: with it, Deku is able to Generate thick purple smoke from his body that allows him to hide his location and distract enemies To gain some time. Deku has used Smokescreen in his encounters against Muscular, Lady Nagant and Shigaraki Tomura. In the latter, he combined Smokescreen with Gearshift to make the smoke dissipate much slower and hide his Blackwhip attack.
While Smokescreen doesn’t reach the heights of the other quirks contained in One For All, it has tremendous utility. With it, Deku can make a quick escape, reinforce his location and disorient his enemies. Deku is a smart character, meaning that in his hands, Smokescreen has serious potential to help the young hero in a pinch.
7
Float
Type: Bucket
A fear Originally owned by Nana Shimura, Tomura Shigaraki’s grandmother. Much like smokescreen, its main function is really simple: to make the user float in the air. His combination with One For All’s power and Deku’s wit and airforce movement make him able to fly at high speeds. In the beginning, Deku learned how to control his body during midair training with Uraraka, and by the time of the Paranormal Liberation War arc, he had already perfected it. Float is also an effective method of avoiding Shigaraki’s decay.
Some one-for-all quirks are certainly more complicated than others, but they’ve all been of great help to Deku in his efforts to become the greatest hero. It is important to note that in the end, The hero does the weird, and not the other way around. Deku became the biggest in My hero academiaNot because he had these seven, but how he used them, thanks to his smallness and Germanness.
