Accelerator Rings

Accelerator Rings is a conjectural label, since the ability is never given an official title in the series. It is an Emitter Quirk of short range, surfacing in Chapter 382 of the manga and Episode 156 of the anime.

Its ownership runs through three points. Tenko Shimura held it from birth, All For One stripped it away while he was still an infant, and the grown Tenko, by then Tomura Shigaraki, inherited it back along with the rest of the stockpile.

Yellow rings of energy form at the wielder's hands and feet. Each waits a moment, the delay varying, then dumps a burst of force in one direction before vanishing. Firing them in sequence throws the user across long distances, and directing several activations lets them steer while airborne.

The push involved is enormous. Layered with flight-type Quirks, it moved All For One from one end of Japan to the other inside a few minutes. It can also be delicate work: Tomura showed off fine aerial control by holding several rings at once, each oriented a different way. The same abrupt shove translates into striking power, turning ordinary blows into swift, crushing ones.

Scale is not fixed either. Folded into Omni-Factor Unleash beside a mass of other powers, the rings swelled to the size of buildings in order to drive All For One's enlarged body toward his target.

What the Quirk could originally do is unknown, because it was taken from Tenko as a baby before the Quirk Factor had finished manifesting. Sitting inside All For One for years, it mingled with the other powers stored there and grew dramatically stronger, to the point that its thief never suspected it had come from the child he ruined. Tomura, receiving the stockpile, wielded it in the same ignorance.

The lift it grants invites comparison with Float, which Tomura's own grandmother, Nana Shimura, carried. It also resembles Slide and Glide, which likewise produces rings that repel and carry their user through the air.
