Fiber Master is an exceptionally strong quirk and it can halt the movements of any character, provided they aren't monstrously powerful such as All For One or Gigantomachia. However, this power only works when Best Jeanist is focused on what he is doing.

Tsunagu and All Might share a great similarity and that is being a victim of All For One's attacks. As seen in the story, All Might was heavily restrained due to the injuries he received in his first fight against All For One, the greater evil.
