Am I supposed to know what that third to last panel on the last page is showing? From the context my guess is it's what remains of Giran, but it doesn't actually look like anything to me.

Yeah, I'm super confused by what I'm supposed to be seeing there too.

I did see someone point out that the building in that last panel looks like it's Overhaul's old base.

Hori really does seem to not like just having extended amounts of dark stuff in the series. I imagine that's why he opened with that.

Since all the Shigaraki stuff is set in the past, I wonder if they are setting up for Joker being overconfident because he doesn't know The League of Villains got much better after beating/gaining the respect of Gigantomachia

Considering all this build-up, the only thing I can think of for the meaning of "the League of Villains will be destroyed" is them evolving past their current name and (lack of) vision. I really, really can't see all this ending with the League getting Worfed by Objectivist Joker.

Yeah, Twice can create a max of one clone at a time, but his clones keep the Quirk of the original and can use it like normal. So if he clones himself then the Clone Twice can clone someone else and so on and so forth, which is what lead to how he gained his uncertainty over whether or not he is his original version.

Two Clones. He can create two.

He also does not need the original near him, as he created a Compress Clone when they were miles apart.

Same. You can sort of see the gears spinning in his mind when Shigaraki mentioned he wants to destroy everything. He wants to reform the system, and completely destroying everything is not what he signed up for.

Agronox posted:

My guess is that the Corgi was completely disintegrated. That, or Shigaraki's got some Corgi paws as necklaces under his shirt.

So All For One is totally responsible for killing his family, right? Like, he either forced that quirk on him or messed with his head somehow to make him go on that killing rampage.

The fact that this chapter was called Distortion instead of Origin just further proves that to me.

It’s either that or he wiped his memory of everything.

There are a lot of possible options but they all stem from the same center

Maybe the corgi had human hands for feet.

I want to believe that Disintegrate is legit Shigaraki's natural Quirk, we have precedent from Eri. But All for One has almost definitely meddled with associated memories when the aftermath is clear as day.

Maybe the hands aren't real hands, but containers that hold the remains of the people he killed. If they were really hands, then he should also have at least one child hand for his sister(?) too.

JB version. https://jaiminisbox.com/reader/read/my-hero-academia/en/0/222/page/3

I think the Mangastream translation was better except for page 9 where it looks like MS mistranslated Shigaraki talking about a possible event as it already happening.

Looking forward to the official on Monday.

What are the odds Disintegrate is Dekus original quirk and One For All took Shigarakis quirk. AfO and the doctor implied that they had gotten a healing quirk but it was too lare to use it for OfA.
I'm sure we'll get a hint when we find out what Nanas quirk was.

The hands were the only remnants of his family after he disintegrated them when his mutation manifested. He wears them because he's hosed up. Wearing them makes Shigaraki remember how hosed up he was when he "found out" he slaughtered his family and corgi.
