It makes sense, narratively. Keeps him alive for his arc with Kurogiri but also removes the only easy counter to Shigaraki’s new level of power.

I mean, with how ridiculous Shigaraki's new powers are, it would be nice to have at least one counter on hand to keep him from relentlessly perusing Deku at the very least.

The next several MHA arcs after this one are Deku trying to go about his usual day-to-day, only for Shigaraki to randomly come out of nowhere and challenge him to fights to the death.

They throw a new School Festival to raise morale but Shigaraki shows up with his band and 1-A must defeat the Legion of Doom in a rock-off.

That sounds more like a Bakugou move when they're both pros, Shigaraki would more likely randomly decay an entire block of people in order to get to Deku.

Underrated part of all this is that Shiggy understands the Power of Friendship now. So the League of Villains will probably all be getting new Quirks too.

I'm surprised All for One didn't kill Ragdoll since her last moments with her quirk would've been her seeing AfO's weakness: friendship.

Isn't people's inability to tolerate being given "his" quirks the very reason Nomu were created?

It's been shown that if you're tough enough you can handle being given an extra quirk or 2, and I think the little Legion of Doom Shigaraki's built can handle it

Yeah, but Gigantomachia is specifically stated to be special. Normal human beings cannot take more than one Quirk.

As I recall, that was a classic Mangastream mistranslation. Though I can't find the official Viz translation right now.

Also, Kurogiri has one quirk that was made from the synthesis of multiple quirks.

Just like One for All is made of stock quirk plus pass down quirk.

The speedy mistranslation was along the lines of "he's so strong that he didn't need body modification to handle multiple quirks," while the actual translation was that "he's strong without needing multiple quirks"

I think his quirk is quite useful for rescues! It's less powerful than Ragdoll's quirk, sure, but being able to find people and things seems like it's still a good quirk.

The idea of Shigaraki going around augmenting the Legion of Doom by giving them more stolen Quirks just reminds me even more of Blackbeard.

Vote shit sandwich or the shit sandwich gets it!

I think this is something about Nobuhiro Watsuki, author of Rurouni Kenshin (among other things), who was caught with kiddie porn on his computer a couple years back. I haven't heard anything about Oda defending him, but it wouldn't surprise me seeing as Oda got his start as Watsuki's assistant.
