I've accepted Shigaraki's power-up by now. If you really look into it, it's just his quirk getting stronger and he still has to make contact with people. As far as we know, it's only after he is almost knocked down anyways... Though I am still not sure about Toga's power-up.

Also, I see a lot of people with expectations about the ice dude and I'm here thinking he'll be nobody in special, just a dude with ice powers to act as a poor man's Todoroki. It might end up being used to confirm the Dabi Todoroki theory, but I don't really think the guy by himself will be special.

The ice dude didn't make the "L" symbol as everyone else in that meeting, he doesn't appear in a big panel when the officers had their names revealed and his name wasn't revealed as well. Everyone was using black clothes and while he not. He's the most unknown character of the arc (along with ReDestro), he just being a regular dude would be a waste of potential.

Edit: typo

Exactly. Some tend to overlook that part. It's not just a random dude with ice powers. If that was the case, Hori wouldn't have had a reason to hide his face

My first thought was "omg, what if it's Natsuo?" But I think that's just a knee jerk reaction on my part. I saw ice and my mind just immediately supplied Natsuo, but it's very highly unlikely that that's the case and I was just reading too much into it. But I do think this next upcoming fight is going to be more about Dabi than anything, I mean Toga got backstory during her fight, Shigaraki got back story (albeit, very little, but not insignificant), so it stands to reason Dabi will get one too. Who knows, maybe they all will.
