The Unbelievable Power All Might Gained from a Single Epic Battle That My Hero Academia Never Dared to Repeat

Summary

All Might's incredible punch in his first battle created a whirlwind and made it rain, showcasing his ability to change the weather and impressing everyone nearby.

All Might's weather-altering ability showcased in the early stages of the series reveals the immense power he wielded, even though it later diminished. This glimpse into the prime of his power leaves fans yearning for more and wanting to comprehend the reasons behind his revered status among other heroes in My Hero Academia.

All Might's most astounding achievement took place surprisingly early in My Hero Academia, unleashing a power of such magnitude that it left everyone in awe. However, this remarkable feat was never replicated by the legendary hero again.

By the start of the My Hero Academia storyline, All Might's glory days are a thing of the past. Although glimpses of his prime are offered in the prequel manga series My Hero Academia Vigilantes, viewers are never truly shown All Might at the height of his power in the anime. The closest fans get is at the beginning of the series, where his display of power is truly awe-inspiring. It is so astonishing, in fact, that it casts a shadow over subsequent battles, purely due to the spectacle it creates for the crowds gathered nearby. This particular moment is when All Might brought forth a downpour.

All Might's Punches Can Change the Weather

In the second episode of the series, the Sludge Villain holds Bakugo hostage, making it challenging for the heroes on the scene to attack the villain without risking Bakugo's safety. All Might is present, but feels incapable of acting due to wasting a significant amount of his limited transformation time. Deku rushes forward to rescue Bakugo, inspiring All Might to step up and save both boys. He delivers a dramatic punch that instantly generates a whirlwind. The impact from the punch creates a hole in the cloud cover above, causing denser clouds to rain down on the stunned crowd below.

Although All Might lacks the weather control abilities of characters like X-Men's Storm, his capacity to alter the weather remains impressive. With this attack, he could bring rain to areas experiencing drought or disperse cloud cover on overcast days. The whirlwind he creates also demonstrates its own impressive potential. All Might exhibits a similar ability when defeating the USJ Nomu, creating a hole in the clouds back then as well. However, the effect is less severe, hinting that his power was already declining at that point, given the nearly year-long gap between these two events.

After entrusting One for All to Deku, All Might's strength may have diminished, preventing him from replicating such a remarkable punch in later episodes. This limited display merely hints at the extraordinary power that All Might possessed in his prime, shedding light on the reverence he commanded. All Might truly stood apart from other My Hero Academia professionals, and this enthralling glimpse into his abilities should undoubtedly ignite the same excitement in fans as it does in young Midoriya.
