Guess what? There’s more fighting!
Yep. Shigaraki is a tough nut to crack and his Near High-Ends aren’t exactly making it any easier. So, we have the B-heroes busy fighting the Nigh Ends (got that term from someone online) and the rest of the heroes not fighting Shiggy are protecting the evacuees. Protecting, you ask? Yeah, Shigaraki basically ordered Gigantomachia to kill everything in his path and I doubt he’s going after squirrels and gerbils. Hm, do people keep gerbils as pets in Japan? Never mind, you get my point: There’s no backup coming. Or, at least, not much.
If Ujiko purposefully made Shigaraki weaker than All Might to preserve his brain, then what’s at 75%? It’s driving me crazy, y’all! What the hell is Shiggy’s weakness? Using too many quirks? A limit on regeneration? K-pop? I need to know!
Deku and Bakugo joining the fight was stupid. Stupidly awesome that is! Right now, stopping a quirkless Shigaraki is the best chance the heroes got. And, that’s not saying much considering Endeavor lost his 1v1 against him! Shigaraki can only be beaten as a team, all the heroes there must work together to bring him down. Plus, Deku’s got Black Whip. Maybe he can restrain The Shig Man long enough for Endeavor and Bakugo to attack. I’m sure Gran Torino will use the chance to ram Shiggy in the junk. That old timer doesn’t play around.
Time to play Who’s Dying. Right now, I’m guessing Manuel will bite the bullet. His water quirk helps Aizawa way too efficiently. And, then there’s Rock Lock. Maybe he can pause Decay but he’d have to touch it so he may die a heroic death like Crust. Would be really nice if 13 showed up. 13 Watch is still in effect, mofos. I need confirmation!
Another good chapter. Deku should be activating another quirk soon according to shonen rules. Gigantomachia will be showing up… one day with Todoroki leading the charge against him. And, lest not forget The Avengers are on their way—what? They’re not? They’re at Captain Celebrity’s birthday party? Uh-oh!

If Shigaraki is THIS strong at 75%- then what will he be at 100%? And more over; what would One For All do to the All For One Quirk? What kind of “boost” could it give to a quirk that steals other quirks?

I’m thinking it’s more of a physical boost. The insane strength All Might has PLUS a possibility of having a body like All Might could prevent AFO/Shigaraki from succumbing to the Quirk Singularity (having a quirk so powerful their body can’t handle it).

Good point.

I think giving Shigaraki a body like All Might makes sense if you consider that All For One couldn’t beat All Might despite having so many Quirks. If Shigaraki has a stronger body and all the Quirks he’s harder to beat. In a similar vein, All Might didn’t have access to the six Quirks that One For All possess. I think that Deku will have a body like All Might, plus access to the six Quirks. They will both surpass their masters.

100% agreed. It also shows how closely related the two quirks are.
