What happened to his weakness of overheating and thus not being able to go all out all the time due to that, hence why he created Shoto that could bypass that weakness.
Yep, the crazy part is Endeavor fought a character who was literally said by multiple completely reliable sources to, at bare minimum, rival old All Might or Prime All Might in terms of physical strength and toughness,
Endeavor took multiple direct blows from him,
And the only reason Endeavor has to tap out of the fight is that prolonged use of Hellflame was causing him to overheat. Lol
Oh, and every single blow Endeavor landed on him completely maimed him and he had to use a rapid regeneration quirk to just not get completely fucked by every individual blow of Endeavor. I said it before but Prime Enji (Paranormal Liberation War Arc Enji) > Old All Might is not impossible considering what a nerfed Endeavor later accomplishes.
@ZenZu @L57 is correct, AFO was nerfed during his battle with Endeavor, but what our resident bet-loser is leaving out is that Endeavor was MASSIVELY mentally nerfed against AFO. Nerfed to the point that Endeavor was about to emotionally collapse on the battlefield. I won’t say why because that’s truly massive spoilers but Endeavor’s mental nerf was absolutely massive in his final fight.
And the best part? AFO still has to cheat and poke at Endeavor’s mental weakness just to land one single hit on him, before Endeavor proceeds to give AFO the most one-sided butt-fucking that AFO ever receives in his entire life.
@soupongo you should read MHA. Generally the series ranges from painfully mid to the cusp of greatness, but you should read MHA for Endeavor, the greatest Shonen character in history.
