Dreamworld sequence was cool as hell. Nana though :smith:. Looks like he is in fact linked with AfO, but he had to get a jumpstart the old fashioned way.

There is a sequence of entirely possible events that could lead to Deku giving Shigaraki a "He was the coolest guy!!" treatment

I mean it unironically too. Now that Shigaraki has AFO, apparently he has kind of a psychic connection to Midoriya. I could see Shigaraki killing a bunch of people at the hospital, then maybe one of his friends in the real final battle, then Midoriya somehow gets to see his mind palace and realize that Shigaraki wanted to be a hero before he got corrupted, then AFO shows up as the real final villain and kills/absorbs/takes over Shigaraki's body or whatever and makes fun of him, then we get the "He was the coolest guy".

It makes as much sense as it did in Naruto tbh

When they have their final battle in the manga, the chapter names should be All For One vs One For All --> Shigaraki vs Deku --> Tenko vs Izuku.

There's got to be at least one comic book where the hero and villain are reduced to clumsily swinging their fists at one another out of exhausted desperation.

Really nice execution on what we have been all waiting for for like 10 chapters. Shigaraki's dreamscape and the way it showed him disintegrating every last vestiges of humanity that held him back and fully embrace AfO was haunting. Also nice to know that it's finally official that Shigaraki has All for One quirk, which is another thing pretty much everyone has been expecting for forever. I'm really interested how the whole "only 75% finished" comes into play, if it ever does, and what happens next.

I wonder if it'd be more like the chapter is "Tenko and Izuku" rather than versus. Kinda feels like Nana's proclamation of "Don't forget" will come back later

I actually didn't realize that he had AFO so that was a huge 'oh poo poo!' moment for me. Maybe I'm not paying close enough attention.

Naw, it was meant to be an oh poo poo moment, based on what we were given so far. It's just that everyone was thinking forward to the climatic final battle, and Tomura would need some extra juice to make things fair. I personally thought that he was just getting a smorgasbord of quirks in the vat, not THE quirk.

Now the question is if Shigaraki got AfO's full suit of stolen Quirks or if he's starting from square one.

AfO was constantly getting and replacing his quirks because even he had a limit to how many he could handle. I imagine Shigaraki will have a whole new set for quirks to go along with AfO.

I'm really curious if/when those quirk destroying bullets will come up again. They seem kind of pointless for Shiggy to use now since he can just take any quirk he wants(except OfA), unless the doctor was able to use them to make a copy of Eri's quirk for him.

My guess is that the 75% thing means he doesn’t have a full All for One, and will need to train it up to do all the stealing and trading that the original could do. Also did people forget All for One choosing not to steal Best Jeanist quirk because he didn’t think it would suit Shigaraki, I’m assuming they gave him a specific quirk combo to start.

I wonder if the doctor is walking away from this because if Shigaraki escapes with him, the doctor could presumably find a way to complete his transformation. So he's gotta go, or maybe they just say he won't have the resources to set up the lab, or the fact that Shigaraki wasn't done baking yet is a permanent thing.

Calling my shot:

I still believe AfO to be out of the story as a villain with a physical presence. However, if he does return as a physical opponent, Shigaraki Tomura is still Deku's endgame final challenge.

AfO?

He's for Bakugo.


This chapter only further convinces me I'm correct here. AfO doesn't even have the real AfO anymore. Deku's never had a personal reason to fight All for One. It was down to duty and legacy. And now AfO has passed on his legacy to a successor. AfO didn't even kill All Might. But Kamino ward was the first day of the rest of Bakugo's life. I guarantee that if AfO becomes an active threat again, Bakugo is going to be the one to defeat him. And almost certainly not solo, but leading a team.

Shigaraki being unfinished is probably going to be the only reason anyone survives this. Like, he'll probably kill a bunch of no names, maybe steal the quirks of Endeavor and a few other top heroes, and kick the poo poo out of Deku before something backfires and he collapses from overexertion.

Which begs the question 'what quirks make the nastiest complimentary package with disintigration'.

I'm thinking mobility (speed, flight, teleportation), some kind of barrier or toughness quirk, maybe invisibility...

Char's Counterattack also follows up on the original, where the heroes went from fighting in giant robots down to a fight in escape pods to a gunfight to a swordfight (which, in the later Origins version, is pretty clumsy itself).

Can't forget Gurren either on that front, where the second movie goes from robots bigger than the universe to hand to hand combat at the end.
