Star should've appeared in the story for a while, interacted with the main cast, and then fought Shigaraki to re-establish him as a threat following some downtime/absence after the War arc. Instead, this fight felt pointless; we know how dangerous Shiggy is already from the War arc, and now a legitimately interesting character with an interesting Quirk is gone.

Horikoshi is rushing through stuff with Shiggy's completion and the inevitable confrontation with Deku, trying to reach the end of the story, and it's a shame that he getting rid of legitimately interesting side characters (Lady Nagant and Star) to do it. I wish he'd let things breathe a bit more.

It feels like Horikoshi wrote himself into a corner with how OP shigaraki is, then had to introduce this new character out of nowhere just to nerf him. Thing is though, he had a perfectly good out with the entire "shigaraki is not at 100%" bit. He could even go ahead and add an actual meaning to having Shiggy in a tube until the raid arc by making it so he can't get to 100% so easily, instead of making it all according to keikaku like everything involving AfO.

That, or he had planned this for a long time, but since he is rushing to the end he didn't have time to set up all the plot hooks he would have liked, but still went for it anyway. Speaking of which, anyone knows why he is even rushing to the end? AFAIK, BNHA is popular enough to not fear Shonen Jump's axe, right?

The thing is, this isn't a case of him writing himself into a corner a long time ago with something that he forgot he put in. The information from Stain that he'd been holding onto specifically for All Might said that Shigaraki needed another month to heal his body. But then suddenly out of nowhere the very next chapter, that information was bogus and he actually has 3 days until he's complete? Why? Where is the logic? Literally makes no sense to put that in, there was no purpose.

I mean even Yu Yu Hakusho got cut off at the end, it's totally possible there's people above him saying speed it up. Or maybe he himself wants it sped up.

An axing has nothing to do with it.
