Forced Quirk Activation
CharacterForced Quirk Activation, rendered in the dub as Forcible Quirk Activation, is a stolen Emitter Quirk in All For One's arsenal. A touch is enough to fire someone else's power without their say-so, awake or not, which turns allies into equipment and hands him an escape route when his own body locks up.
Overview
All For One holds Forced Quirk Activation, known in the dub as Forcible Quirk Activation, having taken it from a person whose identity is never given. The Emitter Quirk works on contact and enters the story in Chapter 90, adapted in Episode 48. Its literal Japanese reading runs closer to Forced Individuality Activation.
Mechanics
The effect is absolute in its narrow way: touch a person and their Quirk fires, consent irrelevant. A target's state of awareness changes nothing, so an unconscious ally serves just as well as a willing one, and All For One can trigger a subordinate's power whenever it suits him.
He can also point it at himself. Paralysis is no obstacle, since setting it off asks nothing of his muscles, though the trick is worthless unless he carries some other Quirk waiting to be triggered. Both recorded uses on other people came paired with Rivet Stab, which supplied the contact the Quirk demands.
Notable Users
Beyond the unknown original owner, All For One is the only wielder. He leaned on it twice during the Kamino Incident, opening Kurogiri's Warp Gate for him and setting off Magne's Magnetism. Much later, cornered in the Final War while facing both All Might and Stain, he found himself pinned by Bloodcurdle and broke the hold by forcing Bloodlet to activate from inside his own paralyzed body.
