* LogicalWeakness: If Star targets a living being with New Order, she is required to touch the being and call out their name as she creates an Order to affect them. This, of course, requires Star to know their specific name as she makes contact, which is a crucial problem when Shigaraki isn't sure who he is during the arc thanks to [[DemonicPossession AFO]]. Because she is unable to call out his proper, definitive name, she is unable to create an Order that directly affects him.

** If the target is another living being, a person, she needs to know their specific name as she makes contact, which is a crucial problem when Shigaraki, whom she tried to use New Order on, doesn't know who he is during the arc thanks to AFO.

* GodzillaThreshold: While Star ''is'' the threshold, considering how powerful she and her quirk are, it's her authority of launching a set of hypersonic "Tiamat" missles that also count here. She decides this is a necessary tactic and doesn't care how much trouble she gets into if she survives and Shigaraki doesn't.

to:

* GodzillaThreshold: TheDreaded: Shigaraki becomes this for the entire world, and not just Japan. Star immediately realizes that Shigaraki is a global threat and takes desperate measures to kill him. After her death the leaders of the other nations, who at first were merely waiting to finish paperwork before sending their Heroes over, are now terrifed of the idea of confronting All For One and leaving themselves vulnerable.

* NoMacGuffinNoWinner: While Shigaraki obtains New Order in the end, Star gives a command that causes it to attack him and AFO from within, destroying as many stolen quirks as it can. Because All For One can only give and take quirks but not throw them away, he escapes and attempts to pass New Order to a random villain for storage after tsking his original quirk away. Unfortunately for him, the quirk was already destroyed in its "rampage", leaving him with nothing.

''[[caption-width-right:350:AMERICA]]''
All For One feels like things remain going his way. With the prison escapees keeping the police and heroes busy, he and the rest of the League of Villains continue to recover and prepare for the days ahead.

Just one new anomaly threatens everything he has planned up to this point. As the world's leaders discuss how to best assist the Japan crisis, one hero heads out over the red tape: The USA's Number One Hero, Star & Stripe. Possessing a special quirk that practically alters the very fabric of reality itself, it could be the end all to All For One. However, if All For One steals this quirk for himself, then taking One For All and ruling over Japan, and the rest of the world unopposed, will be but a formality.

To that end, he sends his "other self", the AFO possessing Toumura Shigaraki, to intercept the international hero before the Top 3 do...

* ShapeshifterIdentityCrisis: Star tries to stop Shigaraki's heart once she gets close, but there is a problem: New Order requires the name of the person or thing targeted. Tomura Shigaraki is actually ''Tenko Shimura'', but that's not the reason New Order fails. Instead, Shigaraki's inner struggle against AFO's consciousness has jumbled their personas into an entirely new "identity" altogether.
