#quirk singularity

The Quirk Singularity could have been this amazing biological ticking time bomb, but Hori....sidelined it. Quirks via mixing and breeding, would get exponentially stronger to the point where the human body likely wouldn't be able to handle it. The younger the kid, the stronger the Quirk. How do you fight your own DNA? Your own Quirk? You can't punch DNA or a Quirk (usually), so how would you fight it? Gene therapy? Mandated Quirk supressors? Anti-Quirk marriages to dilute Quirk genes?

Horikoshi gave us potential glimpses of what the Singularity could look like—Dabi's body failing, Shigaraki's decay evolving, Eri's uncontrollable rewind—but by keeping the Singularity as background lore, he avoided having to dismantle the classic superhero genre he was working in.

He set it up and abandoned it. And that's just bad writing.

It is on both AO3 and Wattpad for your viewing pleasure!! It was such a beautiful moment finally seeing this story that has such a hold on my heart wrap up!

“In a world teetering on the edge of Quirk Singularity, the Hero Commission secretly activates the Cain Protocol- a last-resort failsafe built around a single child: Sora Takami, the first recorded dual-quirk wielder, born with both the avian phenotype of his older brother Keigo "Hawks" Takami and a catastrophic blood-manipulation quirk, Hemokinesis. Raised in a black-site lab, mutilated to suppress his wings, and conditioned to become a living doomsday bomb, Sora grows up believing he is a weapon- and that Keigo abandoned him. When Hawks uncovers the truth, he becomes determined to reclaim the little brother he never knew, sparking a dangerous rebellion against the very institution that raised him. With the brilliant and fiercely compassionate Dr. Morimoto- Sora's head physician-joining their cause, a reluctant alliance deepens into a tender, forbidden romance as the three navigate trauma, trust, and the ethics of power. Together, they challenge the Commission's dehumanizing legacy, fight to free Sora from his engineered destiny, and discover what it means to rebuild family in the ruins of a weaponized childhood.”

In 387, Toya is an out of control child. His emotions are running wild and he’s lost all control of his quirk (hellooooo singularity!) But contrary to Enji’s assertion that his mind is gone, Toya’s actually being brutally honest and clear in what could be his final moments: He wants his dad to see him and his brother to play with him. He wants to be loved and cared for. That’s Toya’s heart. But Enji’s response isn’t to offer the kind of strength that reaches his child’s heart. Instead, what purpose does Enji’s strength serve? He’s still trying to “kill” his past. “I won’t let anyone else get caught up in our [family] tragedy.”

And Deku is also reaching singularity....

Does that mean that Deku’s damaged right arm is going to mutate too? 

So far we’ve only seen Shigi’s infini-fingers on the hand that Redestro broke (I think), so it stands to reason that singularity + serious long term injury = whatever the fuck Shigi’s got going on

That's a very good point. I thought that for Doctor, in principle, it did not matter what generation the father was, if the mother was the fourth generation. Since the child, theoretically, turns out to be the Fifth generation after all. But you have made me think now.

If everything is as you wrote, then it turns out that Doctor wanted to conduct an additional experiment (behind the scenes) based on a quirk's singularity. We have Eri-chan, who herself is the Fifth generation in the clan and a quirk mutation occurred on her. Evolution moved at the expense of random mutations, which gave advantages to individuals in survival. They were then fixed in the offspring. Perhaps there is a theory of Quirk's Singularity, and as the founder of this theory, Doctor in the case of Izuku could show interest in how his possible quirk will behave: it will behave as in the early generations on the paternal side, or it will manifest itself unpredictably according to his theory about the later generations. Was there a mutation, combination, or amplification of any of the parental quirks? Or maybe the quirk gene really just fell out?

It's theory about quirk = disease.

Funny thing! I wrote this post a few months ago, and tbh I still think that if not totally, it is at least partially true. This links back to what I wrote here today, about AfO's ending and the 'human' body not being able to withstand a certain amount of power (see: Noumu and Nine) because it actually ruins their living cells, without possibility of repair. This might be due to the genetic factors developed as ‘Quirks’, which are not supposed to be growing this fast in the human body, because it adapts so much slowly - and instead with the Quirk Singularity shift, Quirks increase their own power intake, taking a toll on the Body, which has to forcibly adapt (but this also means it develops other counter indications, for example what happened to Dabi). But this might also hint at the fact that Quirks, like they appeared, might disappear all of a sudden (and like a disease that has been vanquished). I really think this theory is true, but that’s just my opinion - because otherwise, phenomenon like Deku hurting himself multiple times, or the strain that people receive from Quirk overuse does not explain itself. So, it’s a yes-go for the crazy theory from me, simply basing on the fact that if something of this sort has been hinted at, it has to have some consequences (Quirk Singularity, and Quirks as Disease - because after all, they are a genetic modification or adaptation to something else, which in turn shapes another pair of genetic code, and other counter-indicators to those factors (I mean, human life adapted to the climatic changes in different areas in the world, why should it be different for Quirks?)).
