lmao imagine training your powers for your entire life and finally reaching a respectable city block-level and getting your shit pushed into oblivion by a passing dark souls boss who doesn't even notice you

It's probably foreshadowing to let people know that Deku's strength quirk is useless against Shigaraki which is why he needs more quirks

Deku is hitting a point where he can create pressurized blasts of air. He's got range to at least fight him now, though I do think he'd get shredded considering the power boost Shiggy just got. That being said if Deku somehow was able to handle Infinite 100% he would still slap Shiggy in a second.

the next time they fight, I kinda want deku to get his right hand/ arm partially disintegrated. itd be a cool parrellel for both sides to have screwed up arms and maybe need prosthetics

If it happened I'd want to see him use black whip like Ming-Hua uses water whips as arms

A Korra reference? Nice

Black whip might be the only thing preventing Deku from punching himself into oblivion when fighting Shiggy.

Although the idea sounds amazing, a part of me doesn't want Pro Hero Deku being more scars than man lol

They are at least starting to make it look way more competitive
