How does All for One's "stealing quirk" work? Does he have to touch the
victim, or can he do it from distance? Is this ever explained in the manga,
official book, movie or something?

How does All for One's "stealing quirk" work?


According to the Boku no Hero Academia Wiki, it is done through touch.

> **The process of giving and taking away Quirks is done through touch.**
> People who have their Quirks stolen become Quirkless, losing any sort of
> abnormal features if they happen to be Mutant types. When quirks are stolen,
> the victim becomes disoriented and immobile for a short time. Meanwhile,
> Quirkless people who receive a Quirk through All For One become capable of
> manifesting all of its attributes.

From a distance. You remember when all for one used that awesome ability that
stabbed All Might with the black and red shapeable sword thingy. Those are
actually to borrow or take a quirk. But OFA is immune to AFO so it didn't
affect All Might except the stab part. He can borrow and take quirks with
that. But he has to get close to give someone a quirk.

While it's not All For One himself the villain Nine is seen using a weaker
copy of the stealing quirk in the second movie _Heroes Rising_ which requires
direct physical contact with the victim.
