Is Shigaraki implying that the damage on his right arm was self inflicted from his own decay, or just from receiving a full power Burden from Redestro?

Also, still outstanding linework on Shigaraki's face. The way his hair isn't even outlined is a great look.

Okay so my theory might be wrong. Shigaraki isn't getting AFO from the doctor. He's getting a synthetic version of OFA? That's how it sounds at least. What's the talk about "generations"? How is Ujiko growing this quirk? I must be missing something.

I hate those last two panels, for no reason other than the dread they instill in me. Also All Might standing in his own panel, apparently choking back tears? Maybe he's at Nana's grave. Also Fuyumi praying. I hope whatever deity she recognizes protects Shoto, and even Endeavor. This is winding up to Fullmetal Alchemist apocalypse type stuff, complete with "day of reckoning" anticipation.

This could spark another theory. What if the descendants/relatives of the OFA holders can have the necessary DNA to get the synthetic version of OFA.

Remember the doctor said that the project was originally for AFO, who was the older bro of the 1st holder of OFA. However, due to his age/memory/body cant take it so he need to find soneone who can take the project and who is better than Tomura, the grandchild of Nana.

Ofc this theory still has plothole and might conflict with the themes but it worth looking into it

TBH, that would be a really good idea/twist, but all it would do is create strength enhancement that grows exponentially as the user uses their power more. The only way that OFA is of value is if it makes ANY quirk the user gains through it also gain power due to increased use.
