Huh jujutsu kaisen certainly has changed up its art style hasn’t it

Seriously though what a broken quirk; I really don’t like the fact shiggys probably going to get it as if he wasn’t overpowered enough

Ha, Star and Strip is literally that little girl Young All Might saved at the start of the first movie. That's sweet, too bad she's probably dead now.

I'm not even sure how useful it really is for Shigaraki. If it requires you to touch someone in order to use it, Shiggy can already instantly kill people with a touch. Not sure how much he needs this, unless he's only getting this quirk in order to let him steal OfA easier? "New rule, Izuku Midoriya must give me One For All"?

I just hope that captain america doesn't job to shigaraki before she even gets to touch ground because that's just a mega lame way to handle introducing a new character. end in a draw or something please

can use it at range by touching the air and going full The Hand, giving him huge boost in mobility. Would also make him much tankier by allowing him to Rule away a lot of potential attacks. Could also theoretically make him invulnerable to Eraserhead by ruling that his quirks can't be supressed. Like shiggys already busted but this would certainly be the icing

Yeah if she is introduced simply as a broken quirk delivery service for the main villain to have as this looks like it would be incredibly lame.

Rule #1: All for Shiggy is unbeatable.
Rule #2: Izuku Midoriya's Quirk is able to be stolen by All for Shiggy.

There is no possible way Stars and Stripes wins this fight, especially now that we've seen how OP her quirk is. It's basically a Stand. That doesn't necessarily mean she's going to die (but she's going to die).

It clearly has limits even if the description seems to fall into no limits fallacy.

For example, she has it set to make herself super strong but it doesn't compare to All Might. Even if she didn't want to overshadow All Might, she could still have made herself slightly below All Might instead.

Most likely the limit is the user's body though so if Shigaraki gains this ability, it should be more powerful

It would have been one thing if Star and her power had been hinted at or foreshadowed but she's introduced and it's immediately "I want her power" and it makes it hard to care about her since now she's just a plot device.

it's not like Shiggy needs more villain cred and super powers here, this is just wasting time if she worfs.

I honestly thought she might've had a more interesting power than just literally the same poo poo that lovely villain in Bleach had of just pulling poo poo from nowhere. This is tangentially better but gives me the same taste in my mouth.

Horikoshi has done the "this is going to suck so bad" setup multiple times and every time it ends up being better than expected so by now it's weird how much doomsaying he gets.

This series is, unfortunately, going the way of Green Naruto. Naruto at least had the decency of being exceedingly stupid which is at least a bit entertaining. This is just rushed. Cool chapter, but why do I care?

Normally I'd agree with this but I don't like how rushed everything feels. Earlier in the series I'd say it just needs some time but now it seems there's no time at all.

I feel that this series had great potential to avoid common shonen pitfalls (having only the mc matter, forgetting about side characters) but then instead of attempting to fix it they decided to end it instead. I'm not sure how you manage to make an entire class feel like they matter but if you have 20+ characters per side you can't give many of them more than a page every now and then. Much like the end of Toriko I don't think it's going to suck, just that it could've been significantly better if they didn't get the plug pulled on them.

I disagree, because there is a pretty high chance that Mirko will return and kick rear end at least one more time, but yea I don't mind rushing to that part as fast as possible.

Disagree. Most of the time it's just been above average. The entire Dekus Grimdark Era lasted like 10 minutes and the set up and pay off felt incredibly rushed like the author just needed to get this sort of character turn before the end. Much like everything since MVA.

I really think this comic needs to either slow down a bit or just go straight to whoever climactic battle it's heading towards and giving that the time to resolve it deserves since just shooting though mini arcs makes everything feel rushed and unimportant.

The most obvious thing being that all of the air your lungs would get sucked out into the vacuum, so you couldn't actually hold your breath. And sudden decompression would have a lot more fun effects too. I don't think that Shiggy was in a vacuum long enough for his eyes to boil or anything, but it would still have hosed a normal person up.
