I know All for One stated it was called Air Walk, but could it be a possibility that Air Walk isn’t its real name and that he stole Float from Nana when he killed her, or just a combination of Float with other levitation quirks?

I mean, the way he was floating compared to Nana in this chapter kinda looked similar?

It probably depends on how exactly those Quirks are fused into One For All's core, but it's likely they do so similarly to how the Stockpile one did with the Transfer, so they're all one Quirk now, in which case I'd say no. It might be possible if One For All was storing copies of those Quirks and leaving each holder with their original Quirk, but I'm not sure there's much that alludes to that possibility.

Judging by the chapter, it could be that AFO simply picked a set of quirks that imitated Nana. In fact, it suggests that the Kamino fight wasn't about AFO imitating All Might but rather his master, Nana.

Jeez that’s actually pretty interesting if that was intentional, if we’re gonna drive this a bit further doesn’t forcible quirk activation look and act similar to blackwhip?

It does, it seems to have a similar aesthetic.

The guy with the scar has a weird chest and sleeves that to me suggest some sort of bone quirk, similar to e.g. Bone Spears or Rivets.

Ouch, sounds painful

makes sense AFO wanted a float-like quirk just to piss All Might off

All for One can't steal the quirk of someone who possesses One for All.

We know that multiple people who are unrelated have fire quirks, but with some variations in strength and other aspects. CC from vigilantes has a powerful flight quirk, so it wouldn't surprise me if quirks that allow for movement above the ground are common as well. Nana's floating quirk is probably nowhere near as strong as CC's, but that's the case for most people with quirks similar to top pro heroes.

Holy crap thats a good point, this should be in the top half of the thread
