Shiggy is obviously going to have to retreat for some reason or another but I like how he wants OFA now.

We know OFA powers up the quirks it rolls up, so if that logic holds Shiggy could pretty much sink Japan into the ocean if he gets his hands on it. Definite stakes raising. Him being able to dust cities is bad but you can still presumably escape from that. Powered up? It's the end of the world.

Deku's final quirk will be an attack similar to, but legally distinct from, the Kamehameha, which he will use to vaporize Shigaraki down to the last cell.

I can totally see 1-A splitting into groups of 4 or 5 and each running to a different country for a little for training overseas/escaping from the LOV.

That way, we can get focus on the core Deku/Bakugou/Uraraka/Shouto group (Possibly with Iida), while occasionally getting the other groups (Mina/Kirishima/Denki/Sero).

Huh, Shigi wanting OfA is... interesting, considering it has been established (IIRC?) that OfA cannot be stolen, because it cannot be transferred without the current user willing it.

I think he's inherited the original AfO's obsession with destroying OfA, and he's hearing his master's voice ring in his head. Kinda like how Deku hears all the previous OfA users.

I kind of have to wonder if Shigaraki has been characterized too much to die at this point. Villain redemption is such a thing in battle manga, especially for popular villains, especially for popular villains with tragic backstories, I have a hard time picturing him getting killed, especially considering that this is a superhero comic, and fuckin nobody stays dead in those except supporting cast

I have too easy of a time picturing his last appearance being locked up (either in AFO style super security or after being Dequirked in a regular prison) and then Deku saying "I want to save you, too" before walking away

Everything in Shigaraki's backstory has set up to explain that this is Shigaraki's own feelings and choice. While AFO may have stoked it, it was Shigaraki who made the decision to murder people and feel good doing it. The entire thing in the landscape of hands was him rejecting any notion of not being evil, dusting the remnants of his past, and embracing evil.

And people STILL think "he's gonna get redeemed"

On the other hand addressing the Shigaraki issue is probably the only way you can truly end the legacy of All for One.

It'll be kinda like a Kimetsu no Yaiba demon situation I think. There's no redemption for Shigaraki but at some point he's going to have to face up to what he's done and what he could've been.

Final battle is gonna end up with Shiggy saying something along the lines of "Give me One For All!!" and Deku saying, "You want it? Take it." and having Shiggy eat his hair.

The OFA spirits, having not been taken but freely given, are not under Shiggy's control, and proceed to dismantle AFO from within, concluding with the spirit of OFA#1 and AFO#1 fighting each other.

This inner battle leaves Deku and Shiggy temporarily quirkless, and they duke it out. This all eventually ends with Nana's spirit hugging Shiggy from within.

Also, OFA and AFO combining halts the quirk singularity.

You're 100% correct, except he doesn't necessarily need to be redeemed to survive. Just neutralized as a threat.

I mean a big part of MVA was that Spinner's sticking with Shigaraki. Pretty sure he's accepted the idea that a whole lot of people are gonna die.

Nah, he's gonna go Naruto and cover his entire body in some weird 12th dimension energy that also doesn't follow the laws of physics like Shigarki's decay.

Nana's whole speech about "saving people's hearts" pretty much means that in some way Shigaraki is getting redeemed. Or at least, changing his tune at the end even if he dies.

I'm increasingly starting to think this ends with Deku losing One For All as well.

They're absolutely setting up a story about cycles and the next generation doing better than the one before them

There's no way Deku and Shigaraki repeat the All Might/AFO song and dance of "oh I try to kill you now you try to kill me let's do this over and over and over".

Like, I can't wrap my mind around people being convinced this series ends with Deku punching Shigaraki's head off or something.

It ends up that, because their base-level quirks rely on all 5 fingers touching a thing, the motion to cancel Uraraka's quirk also works to cancel Shigaraki's.

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.

Well, that's what everyone thinks, but then she shows up at her own funeral because Izuku forgot to tell everybody she survived and he was nursing her back to health. They also got married.
