En Tayutai, known as Smoke-Eater, was a Pro Hero and the sixth holder of One For All. Quiet and self-effacing about a Quirk he considered the weakest in the lineup, he built a resistance movement against All For One and passed the torch to Nana Shimura while dying.
En stood on the short side. Narrow eyes sat beneath dark hair kept short and parted twice, swept back from his face. For hero work he wore a bulky red jacket cluttered with straps and buttons, its collar raised high enough to bury his mouth and nose in much the way Best Jeanist's does. Dark trousers cut fairly loose went with large white hiking boots, and sports tape bound both his forearms.
Reserved but approachable, En knows exactly what his Quirk can and cannot do, and he uses that clarity to coach Izuku Midoriya on fitting it together with the others. That resolve showed from the start: when Lariat, a Pro Hero he had only just met, revealed that One For All existed, En volunteered on the spot despite the older man's hesitation, and the Quirk came to him once Lariat fell fighting All For One. He then went on the offensive, assembling a fresh resistance of heroes that drew in Gran Torino along with the man Nana Shimura had married. Cut in half in his own battle against All For One, he still handed the Quirk to Nana and went out smiling.
His composure has limits. When Tomura Shigaraki stole Danger Sense along with the vestige of Hikage Shinomori, En was the voice urging Izuku to save himself and run, convinced the fight was lost. He also turned that harshness inward, calling Smokescreen the weakest of One For All's Quirks and arguing that he should be the first sacrificed. Watching Izuku wield it inventively against Tomura reduced him to tears, proof that it could pull its weight like any of the rest.
Overall Abilities: How capable En truly was has never been laid out, though carrying One For All implies real strength. It was not enough to bring down All For One.
Enhanced Endurance: Severed in two by All For One, he stayed alive just long enough to put One For All in Nana Shimura's hands, using his hair to do it. Wielding the Quirk at all demands a heavily conditioned body, since the raw power can tear a user apart if the physique cannot contain it.
Indomitable Will: All For One tried twice to take One For All from him and failed both times, a measure of how unbreakable his resolve was.
Quirks: Smokescreen let En pour out clouds of purple smoke thick enough to blind whoever was looking for him. One For All, handed down from Daigoro, hoarded a vast reserve of raw power and pushed every physical attribute into superhuman territory, granting extraordinary strength, speed, agility and durability.

Naruto vs Luffy with the twist nobody asked for: Luffy tickled Hinata on date night, and she kind of liked it. We break down the whole fight and commit to a winner....

There are no women on Namek. That isn't an oversight, it's the biology. Why we handed Piccolo the one thing his own species rules out, and why it had to be trap soul....
En Tayutai is voiced by Davon Oliver in the English dub of My Hero Academia. His Japanese voice actor is Tetsuya Kakihara.
En Tayutai's original quirk was Smokescreen, which let him pour out thick clouds of purple smoke to blind opponents. He later became the sixth holder of One For All, inheriting it from Daigoro Banjo and passing it on to Nana Shimura before he died.
En Tayutai was cut in half in his own battle against All For One while leading a resistance movement built to oppose him. Even mortally wounded, he used the last of his strength to pass One For All on to Nana Shimura before he died smiling.
En Tayutai received One For All from the Pro Hero Lariat, who revealed the quirk's existence to him shortly before dying in battle against All For One. En volunteered to take it on the spot despite Lariat's hesitation, and the quirk passed to him once Lariat fell.
En Tayutai believed Smokescreen was the weakest of all the quirks carried by One For All, and he argued he should be the first of its users sacrificed for that reason. Watching Izuku Midoriya use it creatively against Tomura Shigaraki moved him to tears, since it proved the quirk could pull its weight after all.
