17 parts Ongoing In a world where quirks define heroes and villains alike, young Izuku Midoriya discovers he possesses a rare and powerful ability at the age of four. Unlike other children, his quirk doesn't manifest gently-it erupts with unstoppable force, nearly costing him his life. After a harrowing accident on the playground, Izuku learns the truth: his body isn't yet adapted to handle his own power, a quirk that allows him to manipulate the velocity of objects-and potentially the very laws of motion itself.
With the guidance of a specialist, Izuku begins his careful training, learning the limits of his ability, understanding its unique mechanics, and giving it a name that captures its essence: Gearshift. As he grows, his body adapts, his control improves, and he discovers the thrill of experimentation and mastery.
Alongside him is Katsuki Bakugo, a fiery rival whose competitive spirit challenges Izuku at every step. Their friendship grows from cautious concern to a dynamic partnership-the beginnings of a "wonder duo" that tests each other's limits, pushes each other to be stronger, and faces the mysteries of their powers together.
As Izuku trains, he uncovers the true potential of Gearshift: the ability to manipulate inertia, acceleration, and even gravity itself. But with great power comes great responsibility, and the young hero must learn patience, control, and strategy-or risk the consequences of a quirk still learning to grow with him.
Gearshift: The Rise of Izuku Midoriya is a story of discovery, determination, and the delicate balance between raw power and self-mastery-a tale of a young boy learning to control the impossible and a rivalry that will shape the hero he is destined to become.
