Ochaco Uraraka gets an "infinity" score in the quirk apprehension test in Season 1, Episode 5, titled "What It Takes to Be a Hero". I want to know if it would be possible to get the same result using a non-gravity type quirk. Ochako's "infinity" isn't actually an infinity, the ball could and would be stopped if it collided with a planet or something in that category. Instead since the ball did not land within the designated area, the measuring device (Aizawa's meter) registered the distance as "infinity". As for the ball the ball would most likely, if/when she said release before the ball went too far away from earth that another planet's gravity pulled it into it, would fall back to earth, catch fire, reach terminal velocity, then hit the ground. Knowing this we can conclude that Ochako didn't actually throw the ball to "infinity." The machine measuring it just broke because the ball went too far for it to track. Basically, her power was just too strong for the test.

This leads to my initial question, could a non-gravity type quirk replicate this? Well yes but under specific circumstances. It doesn't matter what the quirk type is, as long as it can continuously accelerate or indefinitely propel the ball beyond the measurable range of the device. If a person had a power that could constantly push the ball, then they could make the ball move fast enough so that the tracking system couldn't follow anymore. Similarly, a quirk that reduces friction or air resistance to near zero could allow a sufficiently strong throw to send the ball extremely far, possibly achieving the same “infinity” reading. Teleportation quirks could also bypass the test entirely if the ball were instantly moved far beyond the measurable distance. In conclusion, Ochako Uraraka’s “infinity” score is less about breaking physics and more about exploiting the testing system through the unique properties of her quirk. While other non-gravity quirks could potentially achieve a similar result, they would need to either sustain motion over a long distance or bypass the measurement system entirely.
