The post with spoilers reveals season six of My Hero Academia, currently streaming on Crunchyroll.
Episode 4 of the MHA reveals the mastermind behind the infamous Mystical Anomaly Theory, about a man formerly thought dead, but actually lived for a hundred years.
Dr. Daruma Ujiko, aka Kyudai Garaki, formulated this Doomsday theory many years ago, but his “illusory” prophecies become increasingly difficult to ignore as the plot progresses.
A number of beloved (and revered) characters have shown clear signs of conforming to Singularity expectations, which does not bode well for the future (if one believes in singularity). doctor).
Before long, it won’t be just radical sects as people often think.
Doomsday Prophecy
Although 80% of the population in the MHA possess some kind of Superpower, not all of them are useful, while others are fully capable.
However, it is not easy to determine which superhuman abilities will be passed on to the next generation, as the breeding process has unpredictable effects on the genetic factors of the Quirk.
In Dr. Ujiko’s not-so-humble (uneducated) opinion, each new wave of new Quirk users has a stronger ability than the last, which should go well for a while. years, until it stopped working.
Similar to how compound interest works, the Occult Singularity theory suggests that Quirks will accumulate with each other exponentially with each age group, but unfortunately, the human body can only absorb get a lot.
Eventually, the gene pool will be flooded with mutants to the point where humanity won’t be able to keep up, which then causes the Quirks to rage out of control and eventually lead to the destruction of the entire species (if not the entire species). world).
When this theory was first presented 70 years ago, most people refused to heed Dr. Ujiko’s warning.
Instead, they chose to look on the bright side while they hid his worries under the rug while his proposal was mockingly nicknamed the Singularity’s Apocalypse Theory. Super power.
Discredited scientist Dr. Ujiko fades from the public eye, presumed dead, while respected philanthropist and doctor, Kyudai Garaki, emerges from the carpentry workshop.
Main specimen
One For All (similarly, All For One) originally consisted of a single Quirk, built upon by adding more abilities after each successor passed the torch and is the perfect example on genetic timelines of types.
Deku initially struggled to gain control of his tame abilities and severely injured himself in the process (several times!) while All Might and his predecessors (supposedly) ) did not have much difficulty in inheriting the Quirk. But does that mean Deku is weaker?
The fact that Izuku was originally powerless meant that his body had to adapt to an unnatural speed, however, Yagi Toshinori was born with the same “defect” (and is said to be just as weak as he was). so, before he shines in Japan).
Every time One For All is delivered, it becomes stronger, then burdens the body with a greater burden with each generation.
If Ujiko’s theory is to be believed, it won’t be long before many individuals face the same problems that Deku had to overcome, but probably won’t get as much support (or Recovery Girl as always). stand next to each other).
Imagine a warehouse of four-year-olds running around with powerful superpowers capable of causing harm (if not fatal) to themselves and others.
Don’t rush to conclusions
It’s much easier to picture Dr. Ujiko’s bleak prophecy surrounding his Mystical Singularity when the viewer meets baby, innocent, and utterly deadly Eri.
Obviously, this girl was inherently honest, but she was capable of unleashing an immeasurable amount of power, which she herself was very rarely able to control.
For everyone’s safety, Eraser Head must be on call so he can neutralize Eri’s Quirk as soon as it gets out of control, as her time-reversal ability has the power to wipe it out. everyone’s existence.
No one else in Eri’s family wields powers like Rewind, which in itself is proof that genetic mutations are at work here, to compensate for the mix of Quirks in her bloodline. .
Unfortunately, Eri couldn’t cope with her abilities physically (and emotionally), and she wasn’t the first either.
Shigaraki, Bubaigawara, Himiko and many others have been given overwhelming full-body Quirks without corresponding adaptation strategies, and so society has marginalized them, leaving them to fend for themselves (just like Ujiko’s case).
Was this hypothesis overturned by Darwin?
If Eri was proof that a body brimming with superhuman abilities would inevitably lead to death and destruction, then surely the fact that people like Deku still existed would counter that argument a bit?
If Darwin’s theory of Evolution has anything to do with the biological evolution of the Quirk in the MHA, then at some point natural selection will come into play to save humanity from extinction.
This can lead to many incapacitated children being born into the world to rebalance the gene pool a bit (and essentially reduce the overall potential of the Abilities in their children).
While currently, only 20% of the population is incapacitated, if the scale is skewed severely enough, it’s nearly impossible for people with Quirks to breed exclusively with each other, leading to gradualism. of mankind.
Alternatively, epigenetics could take over whereby entire species “subconsciously” perceive their impending doom and make a more selective selection of the next generation’s DNA sequence.
Instead of overwhelming the system like in Eri’s case, humans can essentially learn from past mistakes and adjust their Quirk reception (at the molecular level).
Inherited traits, such as eye color (whereby only the dominant gene is passed on).
More intense Quirks with a high mortality rate will then disappear from existence, making room for more controllable Quirks to spread the genetic change.
