I’m struggling to understand the purpose of introducing Star and Stripe. She’s not a replacement for One For All, Deku is. She won’t defeat All For One, Deku will. So why is she here? I’ve developed a fear that All For One will steal the Quirks of some of the characters. I don’t know why, I’m certain Deku will win at the end regardless. However, it feel unfair All For One is able to rob others of their Quirks. All For One feels like a cheater. Sure he needs to learn how to use these Quirks but he gaining power that’s not his. With the use of science he alter his Quirks, duplicated them, and artificially strengthen his body to withstand them. If you compare him to Mirio, who’s Quirk could kill him, All For One only seeks power not skill.
I said all that to say this, I think Star and Stripe will lose her Quirk. New Order is a Quirk that allows her to “set a rule onto their surroundings, allowing them to manipulate and bestow new properties onto themselves and the world around them.” She needs to “touch” her target and “say its name,” to activate her Quirk. Furthermore, she can only use this ability on two different targets. My Hero Academia Chapter 330, “Me and Myself,” is a short chapter. Star and Stipe prepares to “smash” Tomura Shigaraki. The villain prepares to attack with Radio Waves, Air Cannon, and Heavy Payload, producing a massive air blast. For their part, Star and Stripe and her comrades seem to evade without damage.
He’s called the symbol of peace, after all
Star and Stripe uses her New Order ability on the air. She sets the rule that “the air does not exist 100 meters ahead of her,” causing Tomura to begin to suffocate. He’s impressed and now desires her Quirk. The jet fire laser canons at Tomura. Using Reflect and Scatter, Tomura sends the lasers back. He almost hits Star and Stripe directly, however, she adds a rule to the laser making it “holdable”. With the Quirks limit in effect, the vacuum surrounding Tomura disappears. Seeing an opportunity, Tomura hurls himself towards her using monstrous strength. This gives her an opportunity to touch Tomura and apply a rule.
Star and Stripe uses one of her rules on herself. She grants herself superstrength like her idol All Might. Speaking of All Might, like most heroes in Japan, he’s a huge influence on Star and Stripe. She recalls when he rescued her and her family during his visit to America. She even fashions her hair after him, going with eight tufts instead of All Might’s two. Tomura is understandably irritated at yet another story of All Might’s heroism. Star and Stripe rule against Tomura is: “if Tomura Shigaraki moves at all his heart will stop.” It’s a devastating rule if it worked, however, Tomura’s identity crisis with One For All appears to undermine her rule. In my last review, I was surprised One For All returned Tomura’s body to him. I was wrong.
Who can stop One For All
One For All always intended overtake Tomura’s younger fitter body. He and Dr. Garaki have plan on using Tomura’s “rage” to “deliver them to a glorious future.” It’s unclear to me if Tomura’s mind is trapped in the old One For All. If this is true then One For All may have created another enemy. I think Tomura and his friends will turn on One For All eventually, but it won’t happen soon. If Star and Stripe’s Quirk is stolen then it’s difficult to imagine how he loses without a surprise betrayal by Tomura. Speaking of her Quirk. Is it broken? I though it did at first. However, the limitations place on her ability keeps it from becoming broken.
I’ve already created a Top Ten list of My Hero Academia Quirks, I would place New Order in the top 5 at least, but probably number 3. This is why I’m concerned with One For All getting her power. Can a character with 2 of the top three Quirks really lose ? Most of us can predicted that the heroes will win, but would Kohei Horikoshi need an ass pull to make it happen? It’s important to establish some stakes to make a series interesting. It would still be possible to increase the stakes if One For All gets New Order, but it might create an issue convincing the audience that Deku is capable of winning.
