Full Cowl - Shoot Style, full name One For All: Full Cowl - Shoot Style and localized as Full Cowling - Shoot Style, is an Ultimate Move performed by Deku using the One For All Quirk and the Full Cowl technique.
Description#
Shoot Style was developed by Deku during his training for the Provisional Hero License Exam. In order to reduce the strain on his arms and to step away from the shackles of imitating All Might, Deku decided to focus his new fighting style around using his legs.[1]
Having learned to use Full Cowl to quickly move around from Katsuki Bakugo and Gran Torino, Deku completed his new fighting style by learning kicking techniques from Tenya Ida. At the same time Deku developed Shoot Style, Mei Hatsume invented Deku's Iron Soles to help compensate for his own leg strength and greatly increase his kicking power.[2]
To use Shoot Style, Deku concentrates Full Cowl's effects in his legs rather than his arms for his smash attacks, enabling him to use their naturally greater power to improve his striking strength. Combined with the Iron Soles, Izuku can kick through solid rock and create shock waves from the force of his smash attacks.[3]
This fighting style inspired All Might's Shoot Style Smash using the Armored All Might suit.[4]
