<p>In the first season of the show, Midoryia explains how the quirks popped up and all, he says that the first one was a child in Qing Qing city, in china. This is where it takes a turn. Everyone so far that you see in the show, or read about in the manga, (for those who aren't explained, it's assumed they manifest at age four). So I was wondering why the first person who manifested their quirk was a newborn. I don't understand.</p>

Why is it the first person who gets a quirk in "Boku no Hero Academia" is a new born?
