I wonder what would happen if Toga ingests the blood of a Twice clone. Would she be able to turn into the person that was cloned, or would she turn into a copy of Twice.

The clones seem to just be made of mud/goo. I doubt they have any blood.

It does steal the thunder from the other heroes, but it came about as a result of someone deathly afraid for a family member and doing something they really shouldn't, couldn't, or wouldn't normally do

This MHA chapter was so loving good, can we please just stay with the villains as the main characters for the rest of the manga? Let the students show up periodically in antagonist roles, and make Deku the final boss of the story. I want to read more about my good friends Toga and Twice and Handy McHanderson.

Had the thought that Deku really needs to have some different powers to fight Shigaraki because ultimately “kills whatever he touches” doesn’t really mesh well with “punches you in the face so hard you explode”.

It’d be over in an instant, either way.

deku was destroying buildings with nothing but air pressure even early on and he's recently been learning to use controlled air bursts as a ranged attack. all might was doing even crazier poo poo. there's no reason why deku would even need to be within striking distance of shigaraki to beat him

seems like horikoshi had this stuff planned for a long time but I don't see how deku would ever need an extra power to kick the league's collective face in

Because a big part of the setup so far is that Shigaraki and the League of Villains are going to free All for One at some point. With All for One potentially giving every quirk he has to Shigaraki, including All for One itself.

Also one of the themes of the story has been how All Might being a single pillar of peace and justice has kneecapped hero society with his retirement. So either Izuku needs to be an even better hero or his friends need to matter.

We’re still not sure where a lot of the overall story is going besides Izuku eventually being the number one hero. Plus Izuku vs Shigaraki ends up the same as Izuku vs Overhaul, a fight many people find kind of boring.

That's pretty much what All Might did though.

Also the context makes it pretty excellent, between mysterious villain going 'what' and the leadup line to it.

Also that All Might worked at his own company while incognito.

a4o already lost to all might twice and deku will be stronger than all might was by default because of the way his quirk works

he's gonna use the other quirks but legit I see no reason why he needs to

Deku will punch Shigaraki very hard but Shiggy, being filled with villainous determination and having prepared for this by spending several weeks straight constantly getting his rear end beat up by a giant crying monster man, will weather the blows and refuse to go down. So Deku will need to use his other abilities outside of incredible physical strength and complete disregard for his own health and safety in order to achieve victory

My theory is that Deku is never going to be able to safely use his full strength without destroying his body, so he'll have to use the other quirks to compensate.

The point I'm making is that bleeding is pretty easy to do as opposed to breaking limbs, especially in the line of work Twice is in. There's no way in all the time since the massacre that Twice has never bled.

But more relevant to the debate, I just checked and in the flashback to the clone massacre this chapter there was a whole lot of blood spatter.

If he was a clone, it meant that taking sufficient damage would kill him and he even if he wanted to be the real Twice, he also didn't want to die if he was wrong

Twice got an ear nicked or something by one of Nighteye's weights or whatever they were back during the Overhaul arc, so he definitely bled. and it wasn't enough for him to confirm that he wasn't a fake.

He clones himself, the clone clones itself, etc. I think you can even see at least one clone clearly making another on that last page.

To me, it's unclear if, just like with Toga and Shigaraki, his quirk evolved to the point there is no limit to the number of clones he can create or if the limit is still the same, but it's Twice clones creating Twice clones as they are formed in basically infinite chain reaction.

We've always known he could make infinite copies of himself since his first backstory chapter. The clones can make new clones of the clones, forever.

The only question is what's his cap on making clones of other folks.

yeah I’m not seeing that, just twice generating an enormous mass of mud from which the other clones burst forth

None on that either, he can make one clone of himself and one of his target. That clone does the same.
