I wonder if just putting some tape around his fingertip would be enough to stop Shigaraki's power?

It would have to be on both hands (to keep him from just using his other hand), but I would assume so since he has to put all five fingertips on the same object supposedly to invoke it, which is why the sand guy was an ideal counter to him since the sand is individual small particles.

i didnt realize shigaraki couldnt turn off his quirk

"destroys everything he touches even if he doesn't want to" is even more thematically appropriate to the main villian than before

Tragically for Snatch, his hard counter was being confined into a small space filled with fire.

magne's power doesn't seem useful for non-fights. even for extracting people from rubble, you don't want to move them before you can evaluate their condition

literally all for one vs one for all my man.

There's a character in One Piece who's power is even more representative of the ideology. Her ability is to power up normal people so they can fight for themselves against their oppressors. Think La Brava's quirk but with an AOE effect. A quirk that's all about giving those with less power the ability to fight against more powerful individuals as a group would be the communist quirk even more than collecting the power of many into one person to fight for everyone.

OfA does work as the ur-capitalist quirk though.

Kurugiri could have also been a great hero. There are so many situations that could easily be solved just by him teleporting people out of danger or teleporting villains into cells or something.

I also feel that we’re gonna see Shigaraki’s quirk result as some mutation similar to Eri’s

...What would communism as a quirk do? Take everyone's quirk in a certain radius, steal it, and then redistribute it fractionally to everyone who got yoink'd so everyone gets a (uselessly small) bit of a quirk? So toggling it on in Class 1-A would make everyone 1/20th invisible, 1/20th frog, 1/20th electrical, and so on?

In the Worm web serial, China takes all its parahumans (people with powers) and makes them join this organization that relies on the powers of a couple key people. One has the ability to share powers among people like you describe, and another has the ability to magnify the powers of nearby people, which combined makes them a troop of people with a very large set of minor-but-not-trivial powers.

It seems kind of weird to assume that Shigaraki has natural corpse skin and that it isn't because he's not taking care of himself and also stapling literal corpses to his face.

i don't know, it makes sense that his quirk really doesn't help matters

i see a lot of people who don't take care of themselves that don't look like that, and MHA is really big on people's quirks affecting how they look

I get the feeling Deke is going to see how all the users of One for All fight/fall to All for One, starting with AfO’s brother

Then AfO’s going to turn to face Deke and say something like “so you’re the next inheritor”

Then Deku wakes up, freaking out that he shares dreams with AfO

Okay scratch that last part, Deku will probably see important moments from previous OfA user’s lives; like when they passed the quirk to the next user or confronting AfO

Magnetizing people can definitely be used outside of combat. She can use someone bracing themselves as a springboard and could use magnetic attraction/repulsion as a sixth sense to find people in trouble in the first place.

Also worst case scenario make people into temporary power generators given a big enough coil.

I'm not sure if that pun translates into Japanese actually. It is cute though!

Just in case people don't know, I don't want to assume, her name is Nana because nana means Seven in Japanese and all of the OFA holders have numbered names. The Ya in Toshinori Yagi means Eight and the Ku in Midoriya Izuku means Nine.

EDIT: Gonna bet on Ichiro for the AFO originator.

This is also the basis for my favorite crazy theory I've seen, even if it just makes no sense otherwise: That the next holder of One For All will be Shimura Tenko.

In a perhaps darker, but not cynical, story, I could completely see that - Deku is the kind that'd gladly sacrifice himself to save someone else from themselves (remember when he broke all his fingers for Todoroki), so him giving up his life to rescue Shigaraki, then once he was safe and realized the error of his actions, giving him One For All so he can take the true road of a Hero as his grandmother would've wanted - it makes sense.

But this is MHA, where the Heroes always win and the worst sacrifices come in the form of horrible, life-long scars. I don't think Deku's losing OFA, at the very least, not before the epilogue.

I actually could see it working out in a similar way. Not the Deku dying part, but as part of doing the impossible and saving the supposedly unsavable (despite that he should have been saved according to both in-comic and author comments) Shigaraki, Deku's hero complex pushing him to do foolish but heroic things, and all that. But it doesn't seem like the most likely outcome to me.

The manga hasn't really ever used English puns to this point. "Juu" is the Japanese word for Ten, and we've only seen a couple characters so far that've had that in their names, and they've been extremely background characters.

Juu is only one way to read it, it could also be Tou or To or some archaic way of writing it that I haven't learned yet.

That said if there's any mangaka who I could see twisting their own pattern to throw some English in there, it's Horikoshi.
