what.
You think Deku is going to go ssj again? That might be an interesting prelude to the final fight if it takes deku at 100% to stop him. Obviously without eri that would leave Deku crippled while gigantomachia escapes with shigaraki.

Idk would be a reasonable way to end the fight without either of them 'losing'

I got a feeling we're going to get to Deku possibly losing the ability to use one of his arms normally since he blew up his left already.

Deku is the seventh One For All, isn't he? We already know that Toshinori was quirkless before he got OFA, and we saw two extra quirks already, so besides the strength quirk that came from the original holder (which AFO provided), we have two more unknown quirks available.

I wouldn’t be surprised if at least one of the other OFA users was quirkless too since it’s been twice that we’ve seen someone pass the quirk on to a loser with a strong sense of justice.

I thought One For All could only be passed down willingly? Surely All For One would have stolen it from All Might during their fight. What's Shiguraki going to do to get it?

He might not consciously know it can't be stolen, since his desire to go after it in the first place was inspired by a weird instinctual push from All For One(the quirk).

I know the movies get a big "probably not canon" thing on it but Heroes Rising specifically had some stuff tied into the manga (Nine is shown in the manga), and Nine almost successfully steals One For All with whatever transplanted quirktech the doctor put into him.

In retrospect passing down One For All to Shigaraki seems like a really loving good idea. Since it’s a bunch of Jedi quirk ghosts and all it would probably end up just not working at all the instant he tried a 100% disintegration and leave him open for a United States of Smash Jr.

Given how One For All can also empower the quirk you already have when it's passed to you, and Shigaraki is already pushing himself over his limit, powering all those quirks up with OfA might just make him explode.

Izuku: Shigaraki, you can't handle One For All with All For One at the same time!
Shigaraki: What, am I gonna blow up?
Izuku: No! It'll go right to your thighs!
Shigaraki: ...my thighs...?
Izuku: And then you'll blow up!

the exponential power of combined quirks seems to suggest that the "justice league" ending, even if we still end up there in a narrative sense, doesn't make the most logical sense in universe

The idea of the "justice league" ending isn't "we need a large group of people to beat one superpowered dude", it's "it's dangerously reckless to base society's security 100% on one single superpowerful person because when they're not around any more everything goes to poo poo".

To expand the analogy, Superman is a demigod and is the most powerful person in most versions of the Justice League by a mile, but he can't be literally everywhere and solve literally everything on his own.

Spoilers beginning to surface in the wild, as a heads up. Most curious thing seems to be that in a flashback, Bakugo is having a discussion with All Might about the past OfA users as written down on a paper, and asks why the 4th user was crossed out completely.

This is why I love the way AM is written. DC takes for granted that Superman can't be everywhere at once and then just has him accept that, whereas AM clearly never had Superman's need for a personal life - in Vigilantes we see him running out blatantly mid-dinner to do hero poo poo constantly; he's excited to make new close friends and confidants. You really get the sense that AM took his wildly OP powers and made himself the trolley problem incarnate, but it wasn't good for him and, as it turns out, may not have been good for everyone else either.

Spoilers for the leaks: Bakugou cops to not having understood Deku's impulse to self-sacrifice, which Deku blatantly shares with AM. I really enjoy how this series keeps addressing this intangible concept of what a hero is that AM and Deku seem to embody and everyone else just implicitly recognizes and doesn't know what to do with. Almost 300 chapters in and it remains shockingly consistently deft thematic writing.

Going from the leaked spoilers: I think the implication is that Deku already has a handle on Float because he trained with Uraraka in Zero-G in preparation for it. Which makes a lot of sense given they were expecting it to awaken soon.

My question is what the hell is All Might continuing to hide or be afraid of? Even Bakugou calls him out on it but at this point even if it's serious poo poo that would make them all question what they're doing they should know hiding stuff doesn't help anymore.

True nature of OfA is interesting. Always felt weird that AfO can give and take quirks, but his brother can only give. Maybe the 4th's quirk(s) somehow implies OfA also has the power to steal too.
