Well, Shigaraki was only at 75% when he came out of the tube right?

If it wasn't for the float quirk just being introduced, I'd've guessed that maybe after this big effort, he ends up burning out his original quirk?

I'm interested in what kind of effect the incomplete process is gonna have.

I'm guessing the incomplete process means his powers will have some sort of limit on its usage, which will explain why he doesnt just immediately disintegrate everyone right away

If she learned how to chain her quirk the way Shigaraki does she'd be a hard counter to decay.

I wonder if Midoriya will learn Nana's float to save his own rear end here.

Y'know, this is a really good call. I was wondering how a relatively simple quirk like "hover in midair" would come into play, and a "ground is literal death" situation is the perfect time for it. And there's an emotional connection in play considering Shiggy is Nana's grandson.

TIME TO ROC N' ROLL
Either Deku desperately pulls out Float to counter another AOE Decay or Shigaraki still has to recover. Last time Shigaraki used Decay like this his arm got hit with a backlash, but then again last time he didn't have AFO.

I bet Shigaraki’s limits are kind of like Nine’s. Cell degeneration from overuse of his quirks, so maybe he can only get off one big Decay AoE before he gets hosed up internally

It seems primed for a big stinger page where a ton of people die and it looks like decay got the kids and you cut to a spread of Midoriya just floating in the air.

He didn't bother to reassemble his mook after Shiggy dusted him so either no or would have been too much bother. I guess he could have but didn't have time to do it without extending the clash with the league?

The proper way to do it is to respect the actual speed of the cataclysm. Whole thing 30-60 seconds of high speed expanding decay wave as the camera zooms out. This whole chapter could fit in that if you add in A few minutes of lead up of the kids Evacing the city. Then you slow down and focus on everybody's reaction once it’s over, and run credits over silent montages of everybody weeping and overcome with horror.

If you spend time on it it ruins the gut punch.

She's going to use her quirk on Bakugou so he can use his explosions to rocket past the decay field in order to save Deku.

So is everyone ready for the time skip in the next chapter where the manga turns into Akira? It just starts off with us following a random character and them talking ominously about past events and a huge crater in the ground.

You know, Tetsuo's theme works with Shigaraki's awakening and the subsequent decay.

So I just caught up and uhhh this is basically the end of it all right because you can't wake up that dude who just wants to kill everyone and give him every power and not have it be the big finale right?

Well, there's still multiple plot threads to resolve first: Mic/Aizawa/Shirakumo, Tartarus in general really, the Todoroki family, All Might's death, the two unidentified inheritors of OFA...

Don't forget that Shiggy got out of the tube at 75%, whatever that means, but it'll likely come into play soon. Dr. Garaki was able to grab only two quirk capsules (which were then destroyed, I think -- I'd have to go back and look at what happened when Mirko kicked him), so that suggests that Shigaraki doesn't have all the quirks that were planned for him.

On top of that, between 75% Shigaraki and 45% Deku, I don't think there's any way this manga ends without 100% vs 100%.

He doesn't have all of them yet, and I'm guessing being let out early is going to put a limit on how active he can be. For now, at least.

He got the original All For One, but given that he was being loaded up with other quirks, I don't think he got AFO's full library of quirks and will be starting from scratch with AfO2. The upcoming conflict with Deku -- and here I'm speculating from this point on -- being stopped by Deku from destroying the city is going to lead Shigaraki to realize he needs to gather more quirks to defeat this kid who somehow has 3+ quirks.

Between Shigaraki's All For One and the Eri bullets, we're going to see a bunch of people losing their quirks before we get to the finale.

Jack in!! MegaMan, Execute!
Shiggy will go ham for a while while the Liberation Front begins their second wind, but he'll probably pass out after a while and need to go back into recuperation since he doesn't know he woke up early. The only question is, where can you go from there? If he gets away, then it's almost a certainty that he'll get to 100% and probably not show up again before then. Maybe something else will happen.

At the very least, I feel like an Aizawa vs. Shiggy rematch is inevitable in the near future given what's happening. They need to stop that Decay Quirk.
