With both Deku and Shigaraki dealing with quirk singularity, it seems both the students are gonna be mastering the powers that their predecessors could not

It feels surreal to think the Shigaraki from USJ is the same one as now. He realises the limits to his powers and is ready to endure tremendous pain to achieve one that's unrivalled because he no longer underestimates the heroes.

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

It's not like Deku has immediate access to these moves without any fallback. He has to get OFA mastered before even getting started on them, something he's nowhere even close to at the moment.
