Maybe Aizawa can only erase one Quirk at a time. OfA breaks a lot of the known rules about how these powers work.

No, Aizawa disabled multiple Quirks during the villain attack at USJ.

Well, let's see. What quirks did that first Noumu have again? Was there anything it kept using after he shut it down? If not, then he just cancels everything in the person he looks at, which is what I'd assume anyway since the targets the "quirk factor" or whatever.

Edit: Also, the above, of course.

Shock Absorption and Regeneration. The latter didn't come up at all until it got froze by Todoroki and the former never had a chance to be relevant since Aizawa got pasted immediately afterwards.

I feel Noumu, or at least the higher tier ones, get a free pass on most quirk related things we know. They are genetically modified beings so even though they have quirks, the way they use/activate them might be different. In the same way AFO could forcefully activate the quirk of a passed out person.

Same, though it is true we never actually saw him steal a Quirk so we don't know what that looks like.

I wouldn't put Toga as an "even" there. She's scrapped with Aizawa and at least held her own, she's got ninja moves to disappear if you look away for a second, and she managed to take on Tsu and Uraraka at once without using her powers.

Toga's basically a prodigy at murder and murder related activities, even ignoring her quirk.

Are the ninja moves just a "mundane" thing, or are they some weird extension of her shapeshifting quirk?

Anyway yeah, Toga's basically a super-genius whose only really motivated to apply herself to murdering her crushes, or stuff she thinks will help her with murdering.

Yeah, Toga's ninja moves are Rule-of-Cool "mundane" moves that are on the same tier as Endeavor's "survive getting used as a wrecking ball against a building" durability and Aizawa's speed.

There's some speculation that she's some kind of rogue assassin, since she mentioned during the Provisional Exam that she was trained to maintain her invisible form.

This may not be entirely true. Toga concept notes says she can use the quirk of whoever she is transformed into. While she has yet to do this in the actual story, she has yet to actually need to.

There's also the possibility that Horikoshi decided to not have Toga be able to copy quirks for the actual series.

It's interesting that, with all that stuff, Shigaraki's physical ability is specifically called out IC as extraordinary as far as (presumably) not having a quirk to help there goes. I wonder if that's meant to be meaningful, or if it was just "holy crap he's fast for a weird manchild".

I mean, lets be honest, this is still anime. Being a normal human means that he can only hit about mach one and survive getting hit with a max of 6 semi trucks at once.

Stain had one of the lamest powers ever, but he still did physically impossible poo poo like bounce off walls, flip around with out losing his sense of balance, and took a hit to the face that should have caved in his skull and made several nearby buildings explode.

He has *teleports behind u*-level speed, there's definitely something going on there. He runs to Tsuyu so fast that neither her nor Midoriya can move before he facepalms her. Either AFO gave him a generic Strength/Speed boosting Quirk, or his Quirk has unique properties. He never did get a proper Quirk explanation sidebar.

I'm glad I already read the chapter before I saw your post. Spoiler tag your poo poo, yo.

Edit:
That said, yeah, Endeavor's "no his pose was the other hand" was great cause 1) of course he's obsessed over All Might enough to know which arm he always used for the pose and 2) of course he would point that out. It's going to be interesting to see what kind of mileage he's going to be able to get out of emulating All Might. He's already been told he should forge his own path.

If someone says it one more time I'm having Florina show up as a corpse. I'm not even kidding, I was pissed off with people doing that shit back in 2010, and I'm not dealing with it now in 2016.
So the ideas I've seen bounced around are

1. Dabi is going to use the Quirk Eraser bullet here. Personally, I'd feel it'd be too soon for that, but it's certainly an option.
2. Round 2

At the very least we can finally put the loving discussion to bed by next chapter.

I like that this manga is seemingly returning to its breakneck pacing after how long the Overhaul arc took. Even the School Festival arc took its time, whereas it's looking like this arc might wrap in a few more chapters.

Endeavor emulating All Might in a very public battle and then immediately getting cheesed by a member of the LoV would be a major step forward for their goals and establish them as a very serious problem for Japanese society, as well as show quite clearly how the whole "Symbol of Peace" idea isn't really workable for anyone other than All Might.

if Dabi is Endeavor's kid, then wouldn't here, with everyone watching right after this big take down, be the best time to pull the rug on him and reveal his misdeeds

Frankly, I'm under the impression that this whole todo is trying to signify that there can't be a singular "All Might" figure anymore (and certinly not one that's been up to some poo poo like Endevour)

this would be the perfect opportunity to use the quirk erasing bullets for the league. hitting endeavor, the number one hero, right after he declares victory over an extremely tough opponent? it'd be all might all over again and likely a way more punishing fate for endeavor specifically than just killing him. horikoshi'd also get to keep him around for later to continue his character arc with todoroki
