Now I'm convinced this series will end with Uraraka bravely convincing Shigaraki to give her a high-five. Uraraka will sacrifice her life but Shigaraki will be stuck floating forever, incapable of ever touching anything again, probably in space until he can't think anymore.

Do quirks get stronger after death?

Like I said before, Shigaraki will be defeated when Eri uses her quirk to rewind him back to a kid with no All For One and no memory of anything that happened. Deku, who has also lost his quirk, decides to take in young Tenko and become the greatest hero of all: a father.

The final chapter will flash forward a few years to an older Deku taking his son to visit UA where we see Bakugou, now a teacher there, meeting his new class for the year(which includes Eri, Kota, and that kid from the new movie, all wearing unofficial Deku merch) and see that Aizawa has become the new principle. We then end on a montage showing how everyone else in the class is doing these days, including a shot of Shoto taking his mother and siblings to visit Dabi/Toya in jail and Uraraka closing in on the number 1 ranked spot.

Last page of the series is Izuku telling Tenko that he's going to the 7-11 and will be back in five minutes.

I'm going to guess that AfO and OfA are two parts of a whole that unleashed quirks on the world, and the quirk singularity is happening because they're trapped in two individuals instead of out in the world. So it'll end up with Deku trying to get AfO back then releasing both quirks back into the ether to rebalance things and prevent the singularity.

My bet is if anyone major dies here it will be Gran Torino. We know he’s on the scene, and given endeavor of all people brought up one for all over the hero radio he will be the only one to realize the significance and know shigaraki will be after deku. He’s also one of the few who might be able to catch up in time.

Another perhaps less satisfying out from the current predicament that Deku finds himself in with Super Shigaraki after him is that while Deku is only at 45% control now, he can still go and throw a punch at 100% if he really needs to. It’s been awhile since we’ve seen him break himself but it’s still an option on the table.

Hell, if he's able to stay at 45% for extended periods, full 100% once in a while might be an option without that degree of backlash. But yeah, probably not enough to drop Shigaraki, though it would be a clear way to indicate just how much power was granted beyond Ultra-Decay.

There's nobody at the mansion who can probably hold a candle to machia. The only thing I keep thinking about looking at the mansion fight is "Man, Mt. Lady is absolutely hosed if Gigantomachia wakes up and she tries to throw hands with him".

So they just need to let erosion take care of him over several thousand years. Easy.

He could always repeat All Might punching the Nomu into the horizon, but yeah that wouldn't actually stop Shigaraki. He's basically unstoppable and with Search he can always find Deku. Something definitive needs to happen.


Speaking of Search, I wonder how exactly it works after being stolen. Does it show people Ragdoll has seen, All for One has seen or Shigaraki?

I'm starting to worry that the "something" is going to be something crazy like the Japanese government sees things going south and just drop a bomb on the whole battle in an attempt to wipe them all out. Shigaraki gets hosed up and needs time to recover, Gigantomachia gets out relatively unscathed and manages to protect most of the Liberation Army leadership from the explosion, but still lose a significant chunk of their army so they can't immediately retaliate, a bunch of heroes die as well, and Deku goes missing.

We saw Shigaraki pocket some dequirk bullets just before fighting Endeavor. I wonder if one of them will get deflected onto Shigaraki and remove one of his quirks?

It's shrine maiden, not shrine maid!
De-quirking him of Search before he has to retreat because inevitably he hits some sort of limit due to the process being incomplete would be a way to eke a small win out of this.

Search is almost as big a plot problem as Erasure since it's a really really good quirk for someone who has other quirks, and specifically someone who wants other quirks.

As time goes on quirks get more and more stronger until the point where society collapses because some kid got the self activation earth buster nuke quirk. pretty much there’s gonna be a point in society where quirks are just too janked for any kind of oversight (or regulated hero society)

With every generation quirks get stronger and stronger. Eventually there will be a quirk like Thirteens where a 5 year old kid opens a black hole that they cant control and destroys the planet.

It's okay, it's a conspiracy theory. No one sane would believe in it, Present Mic said so several chapters after he went through a situation that undeniably proved it was true.

Either endeavour or bakugou get hit with the bullets, doesn’t make sense having the quirk bullets strip one single random quirk out of shiggys arsenal (if anything it would just rob him of his decay quirk)

Deku gets hit, spends an arc in a deep depression over losing OfA and letting everyone down before resolving to become a hero anyways, ends up having to fight a bunch of villains while quirkless and just when it looks like he's about to die, OfA returns stronger than ever.

They already used that fakeout, and at a time when it would be far more meaningful than it would be now. I just don't see it.

They've already floated the idea that Eri could restore someone's quirk even after getting shot, so anyone hit by the bullet doesn't mean it'll be a permanent loss.

He doesn't exactly have a gun on him at the moment, so unless he starts throwing them really hard at people I doubt they'll come up in this fight.

Arist posted:

Well at that point the idea was that Shigaraki was going to steal his quirk because he wanted it and well, guess who is now hulk-jumping directly at Bakugo with AfO.

To add onto the other answers it's more specifically that over time all the different quirks combine into each other and stack more and more strength. Think One For All, but via birth, not via chosen successors.

Bakugo's a good example -- his very powerful Quirk is a combination of his parents' lackluster Quirks. If he has children they'll have a combination of Explosive Sweat and whatever their mother's quirk is.
