Shiggy is pretty nonsense these days, but is he "What if your bones were made of cookies, and by posing that question now they are" tier playground bullshit?

That was actually the goal of him going after Stars and Stripes, since that's literally what her quirk does.

bleach's final arc was an unmitigated disaster from start to finish

remember how the fight with urahara resolved in such a way that it seemed like everyone there had died off screen? and he just didn't show up again for the rest of the series so the author then had to clarify they survived after the fact? that was cool

When you consider his whole quirk that’s not actually a quirk so nuh-uh Eraserhead your stupid power doesn’t work then yes, yes it is

There's just enough examples of it not working on people with physical quirks like The Invisible Girl and presumably Froppy who's more of a mutation-based quirk than an ability based quirk but then the guy with a tail went limp too so it's just a little all over the place

It'd also be a pretty boring fight if Shiggy were just standing around waiting for someone to kill him so turning into a giant cancerous abomination with regeneration and massive limbs is the best way to write himself out of the corner he put himself in. I don't know how the writer was ever going to do a compelling fight where the villain's ability is to literally turn everything he touches into dust which evolved into just being generally around him

The best way to handle it would be to not have given Shiggy every overpowered quirk in the world and then incapacitate Eraserhead somehow so his ability couldn't be used. Eraserhead was fine as a teacher that could turn off his student's quirks during practices but his power is so binary it's not fun for important fights since he either trivializes them or there has to be some contrived reason he doesn't.

The disintegrate the world upgrade was also a mistake since it meant that the villain couldn't actually use his ability anymore as it's similarly binary. It either works and everyone dies or there's a reason invented (in this case Eraserhead and Monoma) why it doesn't.

Because Kakashi is too popular to get rid of.

Also for some reason, people really like shipping him with Present Mic.

Considering how Shigaraki has been unaffected by most everything the heroes threw at him, I have to wonder why his first order of business wasn't just killing Aizawa and Monoma. Is there a special set-up for them that I'm forgetting?

Also, lol at Shiggy laughing at the rear end thing.

I think they're floating on a platform just outside of the shield, which really just makes me wonder why Shiggy didn't just try to get out of Eraser's line of sight by going behind the giant school that was in there with them.

Have I forgotten Shinso's last appearance, because he's also got an incredibly broken quirk that could potentially end the fight between AFO or Shiggy in an instant. While AFO was using Yuga as a mole AFO definitely should have tried to steal that quirk and either used it himself or given it to someone else since all anyone has to do is answer a question and end up under mind control.

I'm sure it wouldn't work the same way Star's didn't since Shiggy has no idea who he is and therefore there's nothing to take control of

Or AFO pulls an Inner Sakura from the Chunin Exams and smacks Shinso out of Shiggy's head

shinso feels like a strange artifact of a hypothetical 700 chapter MHA, where the concepts he introduces about quirk discrimination and school-related stuff are way more important. his power should be extremely useful given that all the villains love to loving talk and have no idea who he is, so he's been quietly whisked offstage since (as eraserhead shows) Hori has no idea how to handle it.

e: honestly the funniest thing about shinso is that in the very same arc where he's like "I've trained very hard and can now use eraserhead's fancy scarf" deku just gets blackwhip, which is the scarf but a million times better.

His whole character arc was "Wow your quirk seems like something a villain would use" so he had no friends, crawled into Class A and then had no friends and hasn't been involved with the end-game yet.

For that matter Monoma could just touch Shiggy, gain his quirk and attempy to melt him away while Eraserhead is doing his thing. Even if Monoma fails at least it'd had given better urgency to the fight

one thing after reading the official translation: it's wild to me that hori very rarely draws a hit actually connecting. not only does it seem like a waste to not like, show deku completely pasting shiggy here, it also makes it incredibly hard to parse what's going on up front with shigaraki knocking everyone away one-by-one. you constantly have to guess at what action happened between panels.

Because they've been friends since high school and they seem to still be best friends in spite of the fact that you'd think Present Mic's entire personality would annoy the poo poo out of Aizawa. There have been far weaker reasons for fans to ship two people together than that.

Also Aizawa has only had 3 real close friends in his life and 2 of them are dead now. Well, one of them is a smoke zombie, but that's probably worse.

I wouldn't because I like the dynamic of Small One/Giant One and it's the small one that's actually the stronger of the two.

That's a longer way of saying that I like the Vegeta and Nappa set up too much to not pair up Miruko and Mt. Lady.

I don't even know what the reader is supposed to feel about this anymore. everyone got badly hosed up! no wait it's fine. okay time to have the exact same fight we would have had if deku didn't get teleported to the wrong place, forcing everyone to spin their wheels for twenty chapters.

also at this point showing all the AFO users at once mostly just underlines how boring they are as a group. especially impressive since nana was supposed to have important emotional relationships to many of the key characters in the manga and now she's just looking vaguely bored as another member of the "oh right, those guys" ensemble. deku's most important OFA mentor is the blackwhip guy!
