In his fight against Bloodthirsty Muscular, Deku hits a 1000,000% One for All
punch when we haven’t seen even All Might use that much power. How can this be
possible?

How could Deku hit 1000,000% One for All punch when he had no memory of it?


It was confirmed by the Author that it wasn't actually 1000,000%. Deku said
that to pump himself up.

This is explained in [this article](https://comicbook.com/anime/2018/04/29/my-
hero-academia-delaware-detroit-smash-izuku-anime-creator-comments/), as well
as the image below:

In the last episode of My Hero Academia (Season 3, episode 8) , they gave an
explanation for this (spoilers)

> According to the doctor who cured Midoriya from his battle with muscular,
