There was also that time Deku's quirk ghosts told him that OfA has already reached a singularity. Which is either why he can use multiple quirks, or it could mean something else down the line, I'm not entirly sure.

Yeah, I get what the kids getting stronger thing is all about, but I still have no idea what that has to do with OfA or why AfO accepting the theory is so important to the Doctor.

We don't know what the First was actually referring to when he talked about the singularity. Its something to do with why Deku can use all the quirks so either its just that OfA has evolved enough now or something about Deku enabled it (coughDad4Allcough). The doctor was the guy who came up with the singularity theory and everyone except AfO called him a nutter and so, being totally nuts and all, he's helping him destroy the world now.

Ah yes, Bakugo's history as a massive bully who made the main characters life a total nightmare until the manga started. Definitely an irrelevant detail that will never be brought up again. Don't know why anyone would consider him becoming quirkless to be dramatic irony or something. Also Chad is the only character who got to get a good ending by becoming a world famous boxer, even though that was the complete opposite of his entire character arc of hating to hurt people and only doing it to protect others.

It’s been awhile since we’ve seen him break himself but it’s still an option on the table. You know, and I know that's not gonna happen when the catchphrase of the series is "Plus Ultra" =P

That was the thought like 150 chapters ago when he got kidnapped, though. He's had character development since then. That character development seems pretty weak in my own opinion and is too little, too late, but the way this reads to me does not support the idea that Bakugo is about to lose his quirk.

Part of Bakugou's arc is almost certainly going to involve him properly apologizing to Midoriya for what he had done to him in the past. Question is under what circumstances.

Shigaraki gets hosed up and needs time to recover, Gigantomachia gets out relatively unscathed and manages to protect most of the Liberation Army leadership from the explosion, but still lose a significant chunk of their army so they can't immediately retaliate, a bunch of heroes die as well, and Deku goes missing. I'm not sure if this is an intentional Kingdom Come reference or not.

Nephthys posted:Don't know why anyone would consider him becoming quirkless to be dramatic irony or something. And this is why it won't happen. Because despite your inability to accept this, Bakugo's presence in the story isn't to eventually be taken down so that he can lose everything he once had in dramatic irony. His purpose is not to eventually be punished like how you wish your high school bully was. Even ignoring that Horikoshi has gone to great lengths to buck trends when it comes to his atonement and redemption. We've seen that what drove Bakugo was never merely "LOL you have no quirk." It was both an environment that praised him for his natural strength, and Deku's worry for him. Deku showing care and worry for Bakugo in SPITE of his massive strength even as a child caused him to take that worry the completely wrong way, like Deku was looking down on him. We've seen who Bakugo is, someone who's trying his best to emulate All Might and become a hero who can protect everyone. Abrasive, rude, and harsh, he got broken the moment he got into UA and came to realize that he wasn't top poo poo. Taking away his quirk does nothing to develop his character, It's just "What dramatic irony!" And? He won't understand Deku any better, as Deku never worked out super hard or really devoted himself to the realistic goal of being a hero until meeting All Might, Deku only really started putting in the work once someone told him "You can be a hero." And we won't get any interesting developments as we already have two characters in the story who lost their quirks (All Might, Mirio) and have resolved themselves to keep on going as best they can even if they can never be what they once were. So not only would we be treading on the very trodden ground, we'd get nothing out of it, rather than "dramatic irony" which isn't a good enough reason to do something.

Abrasive, rude, and harsh, he got broken the moment he got into UA and came to realize that he wasn't top poo poo. I think you may be assigning more baggage to me than is warranted or that I've expressed and assuming an awful lot about me. None of us actually know what is going to happen in the next run of chapters, not even you, but the general feeling is that something pretty bad and story-shaping is going to happen. Currently the ones being set up for this fight are Shigaraki vs Endeavor, Deku, Bakugo and whoever it is thats following the latter two (likely either Shoto or Uraraka). Of those people Endeavor dying or being re-quirked just feels too obvious and his story seems unfinished, Deku is the main character so he's probably safe and the mystery guest eating it after jumping in would be pretty cheap. So Bakugo seems like the one in the most danger right now, narratively speaking. Now thematically, yeah you can complain about it if you want but I was actually just stating a fact that him getting his quirk stolen in the fight with the guy who already tried to steal his quirk once would be ironic considering his history. I'm not like, weepingly praying for it to happen or something lol, but saying theres no reason it would ever happen is just wrong as hell. If it does happen though I do think it would be quite different from the examples you mentioned for a few reasons. Firstly Bakugo wouldn't just accept his quirk being stolen and wait on the sidelines like the ones you mentioned. So I think it would be pretty different from that standpoint, but it would also give Deku a personal and compelling reason to want to track Shigaraki down and defeat him beyond the obvious hero stuff. Who knows, maybe he'll just die instead. I don't think we should make definitive statements about how an ongoing arc will go but speculating is fun.

I feel like Endeavor getting merc'd or depowered is way more likely because his story is unfinished. Him trying to redeem himself and ultimately not managing to finish the job would be both shocking and poignant and would change a lot of the established dynamics. The way events have been emphasized, especially in the last few chapters, I don't really regard Bakugo losing his quirk as even a possibility. They've "softened" his character, but not in a very dramatic way. Most of his "development" is offscreen, forcing the viewer to infer minor changes in demeanor between appearances. Him being relatively chill in the last couple of chapters has also felt weirdly unmotivated. That's not me complaining about Bakugo, that's me saying that if Hori's going to take his quirk away, it would make far more sense to commit to either Bakugo at the very least understanding why his behavior sucked and potentially working to make amends at some indeterminate point in the future or the opposite road of keeping his hubris to the maximum so his character has some real distance to fall from such an event. Walking some weird middle path here kneecaps both potential emotional responses. Also, again, we've been down this path. It's repetitive.

Bakugo losing his power and then getting a new power that was more support-necessary like healing would be funny and interesting, but I also don't know how that'd dovetail into the metaphysics of the universe as we know it right now. Also, yeah, feels like Endeavor dying would increase the instability of the world more and create new storylines, since there's less of a clear #2 after Endeavor than there was under All-Might and it would make people get really panicky.

Endeavour being depowered, either by a bullet or the kind of injury that All Might sustained, would rob the world of another top tier hero, but also rob him of everything he worked to achieve, while also giving him the chance to grow as a person and continue his arc.

Hard to see Endeavor de-quirked or killed since he's the only one who can fight super nomu or even engage Shigaraki right now, and it's too early for Deku and Bakugo to take them on. More likely this ends with all the top heroes in hospital, and Shigaraki makes his debut to the world as the new symbol of terror. Arc ends with everyone in panic but not full-blown civil war yet.
