Quirk Singularity

Garaki's thesis, first titled the Paranormal Singularity Theory and later circulated as the Quirk Singularity Doomsday Theory, holds that successive generations mix and deepen their abilities until the results outstrip any human capacity to manage them. Bodies simply cannot evolve fast enough to match. The endpoint he sketched was a world of powers too strong and too tangled for their owners to restrain at all.

His audience wanted none of it. In an era still clawing back toward peace from poverty and conflict, a prediction that the future would collapse struck people as absurd and short on evidence. The theory was mocked, then ignored, and Garaki himself disappeared after being pushed out of respectable society.

Evidence accumulated regardless. Early symptoms surfaced in the fourth generation to carry Quirks, and Present Mic noticed the same thing at Masegaki Primary School, where children handled powers far past anything he had managed at their age. Chikara Yotsubashi documented a parallel pattern in Meta Liberation War, describing mock bouts in which parents faced children whose Quirks were built for fighting: the younger side nearly always won, the adults prevailing only when grown strength overcame a child's frailty. He used that data to argue laws would eventually fail to contain Quirks, folding it into his case for liberation. Even so, the idea sits at the fringe in the present day, kept alive mostly by cultists.

Confirmation arrived through Tomura Shigaraki. Once he carried the All For One Quirk, his body began reshaping itself to accommodate everything crowded inside him, first growing hundreds of fingers out of his left hand. All For One read the change as flesh sprouting the way hair or nails do, an indication of humanity adapting to its own powers. The mass of fingers reflected Tomura's appetite for destruction and his wish to hold the Heroes back; when the plan failed and his mind frayed, he reshaped again into a defensive form, fingers sheathing his whole body while memories of his family made up his left fist.

All For One was the lone early believer, and for self-interested reasons: a man stacking dozens of abilities into one body had every cause to fear that the body could not adapt. He sought Garaki out, offered patronage and support for the research, and gained one of his most devoted allies in return. He later claimed Koichi Haimawari and Number 6 had reached the domain past the Singularity entirely, watching their power climb during their Awakenings.

Humarise carried the theory to its lethal conclusion, treating Quirks as a sickness certain to doom humanity and launching a genocidal campaign meant to exterminate Heroes and the whole of Quirk society. Its ranks drew both the Quirkless and the powered, some offering themselves up as atonement for the affliction of holding a Quirk, others simply saving their own skin. Leader Flect Turn believed through experience, since his own Reflect hurt anyone who touched him no matter his intent, and he held that an uncontrollable power could only produce suffering.
