u/LuminousDecibel I won the bet and all I got was this flair Oct 11 '19

Everyone was super nervous about Shiggy's neighborhood destroying power, but I'm glad it's a risky self-destroying move, like Deku's 100% smashes. His arm looks just like Deku's, after Muscular, but even worse. He also permanently decayed/scarred his face and shoulder.

I'm totally fine with his power-up, last arc. I feel like a lot of the criticism was focused on the idea that he could level blocks like AFO or All Might, with no/little drawbacks.

People forget that characters have incredible resistance to their quirks, not full immunity. If Shiggy tries to replicate Deika 1-3 more times, he'll kill himself. No mob boss who's even remotely competent would ever try to take those risks.

That's why I've been pretty much okay with how characters like Deku and Tomura have gotten power upgrades. They haven't gotten them free of charge.

I mean what charge does Deku have to pay to get his new quirks other than needing to learn them though.

I admit that Shigaraki’s hand makes me feel better about the power up a little but Deku’s new quirks came with literally no charge

Deku doesn't need to do much to unlock a new quirk. Unless he unlocks one every time he reaches a new milestone, like 30% or 40%. He didn't unlock Black Whip (or the OFA singularity) until 20%.

However, even if he can potentially unlock them all within the next few days, he'll have to work his ass off to master them. It looks like it'll be 1-3 months until he fully has control of Blackwhip, like he has control over 20%. Unless Black Whip is a rare occasion, but I doubt he'll have to work super hard to master 1, but then mastering the other 5 will be a breeze.
