So say that Nine lucked out and got a type B cell activation quirkLike legitimately at this point of the story, could anyone actually stop him? Could anyone even become strong enough to stop him?
If Nine had succeeded in getting a cell activation quirk… how would the entire plot change?
AnimeThere would have been three fronts instead of just two: • The heroes and UA • AFO’s organization and Nomu • Nine’s slowly growing crew
Honestly, given how small his operation was, Nibe probably wouldn’t have lasted long. AFO had a huge network of cronies that could have silenced him quickly or Dr. Garaki could have sent Nomu to finish him off.
Dr. Garaki could have sent Nomu to finish him off.
All the high-ends were unfinished during that period and none of them showed to be on pair with hood.
Even then Nine has the rawpower to obliterate them.
Think he could obliterate them all at once? Especially if Garaki can arrange done with counters to Weather Manipulation, such as electrical resistance. Mob him with enough Nomu in an ambush and they could probably bring Nine down.
Side note, do you think Nine could take on Gigantamachia?
Relatively speaking I think a finish Nine is above Gigantomachia, but not by much at all.
If Nine (healthy) was a S tier then Gigantomachia is only slightly below that. These are both only as strong as 75% shigiraki (could make arguments that they are stronger) and would both lose to a 100% Shigiraki. If Nine were to fight Gigantomachia before he dealt with his mutation that made him sick then I’m sure he’d lose. If nine is allowed to be constantly passively healing himself with cell activation then Gigantomachia loses high dif. At best, the fight wouldn’t be one sided at all. Gigantomachia was made to Tank a lot, and a lot of people don’t have the fire power to challenge him besides those with the best quirks for high damage like Nine.
Personally, I don’t think Nine would ever have a ton of endurance.
The 2nd film implies that using Cell Activation takes quite a bit of stamina over time (granted, Katsuma is a six-year-old kid so it my impact him faster) and even if it would keep Nine alive and functioning but he would never keep up in an endurance test.
Sure, he’s crazy powerful enough to sweep pretty much anyone away right off the bat. But if there’s some who could endure or avoid his power, he’d weaken pretty quick.
