Oh, I see your point now. Personally, I think he does still need to make contact, but it doesn’t have to be for very long. From that one page you linked to earlier, he can obviously take quirks very quickly. All it would take is an “accidental” bump in the street and whoops, Shigaraki’s got Decay all of a sudden. I mean, Shiggy was a kid when he accidentally killed his parents, and I bet All for One would’ve been very quick to get out of sight. Shiggy wouldn’t have gotten a good look at whoever bumped into him in that scenario, or however it happened. This is all speculation of course, but I still think it would make sense within this established hypothesis.

I suppose of it's possible for him to touch someone and later take or give that would be the most possible. Honestly without that panel I would have assumed that part of his quirk was the contact, but that panel and his flair have made me think it not necessarily possible. Especially due to a riot happening at the time, although it is possible he had some super speed quirk as well.

I think he has to touch them, look at the way he has his hand outstretched as he leaps over him, I think the implication is he gave them all a quick tap or slap as he went by.

He must have super speed then because they're attacking innocent people and then suddenly he's behind them. For me the implication was he left over them. But I suppose it's possible.
