Okay, so it seems like you're already convinced of an answer then.

So, mentally so far. Let's see if they ever confirm the physical side.

Although it seems logical that some quirk combinations end up destroying someone's body.

[up][up] Really?

What answer is that?

(No, seriously, I have no idea what you're talking about...)

Mind telling me as well?

I think it's either mental strain caused by the extra quirks interfering with brain functions (also, given that the Nomu often have exposed brains with eyeballs poking out, I think it's safe to say there is brain damage) or the strain put on the body causes so much agony that it's literally mind shattering. If it's the latter than it would explain why Gigantomachia's stamina quirk allowed him to remain cognitzant after having more quirks given to him.

[up]We have no confirmation that Gigantomachia even has a stamina Quirk. That's only one possibility for what's going on with him.

For the most part, saying that someone is "mentally" ill or has "mental" problems is a misnomer. The issue is usually some chemical or physical issue within the brain itself that ends up causing symptoms we perceive as mental.

So logically, something goes wrong with the physical brain that makes a Nomuu act like a Nomuu. I take it that the brain injures itself processing quirk factors that are wildly different, and those injuries are in roughly the same place(s) where the brain regulates most of the "humanity" functions.

Id theorized having more than one quirk was possible but having too mqny was a danger. Im happy this was confirmed.

I assume most people can handle two at most.

[up][up]That's a fair point.

You know, it's obvious that Shigaraki wins over Ujiko, but we still don't know about Gigantomachia. He might still be farting around on his own, maybe trying to break out All For One by himself - he was mentioned to have showed up at Tartarus a few times.

Though maybe Ujiko can convince him to work with them, since he seems to have some influence over him.

Chapter's out.

Shigaraki is exactly like Eri - his Quirk is completely different from anything in his family's lineage.

Oh my God so that's how that teleportation works. Fucking Hell man. sad

Also damn Shigaraki really is a full-on maniac. He just wants to ruin everything.

And what the fuck was that at the end? Is that Giran?

So, Shigaraki's Quirk really just doesn't destroy hands. Someone brought up that possibility, but if that was all that was left of his family, when he had absolutely no control, it basically confirms it.

I mean, in retrospect that makes sense, you accidentally kill someone, but you don't know how it happened(or that it even was done by you), so you run to next closest relative and rinse and repeat tongue

Ok, I figured out what that last page is.

It's Giran's scarf, with a severed finger (presumably his) resting on it. Apparently delivered to the Yakuza.

If Deku is Mothra that means monster Bakugou is Godzilla.

Edit: Also this makes Clear Tensei wanted to be the kind of hero who helps kidsin need like Shigaraki, the coolest heroes are the ones who help kids like him in need.

If All For One has a similar teleportation quirk to John it probably means he dequirked one of Johns family members back when he first kidnapped and nomufied him. Also a reminder that John looks to be a baby.

Actually the theory Ive seen come up is that Ujiko found a way to replicate Quirks for mass production of Noumus.

Ya know, I know its not straight up confirmed in the manga, but its still kinda silly how character page treats Doctor and Dr. Tsubasa as different characters considering that beyond looking identical, having same voice actor, they also both have gear shaped goggles even if "Ujiko's" are bit different :p

The moth Deku is scaring me.

That aside I guess my theory about Shigaraki's hands being the hands of his dead family members is confirmed now. Though I didn't realise it also indirectly confirmed that his quirk doesn't work on hands until I checked this thread. That's interesting, but the hitchhiker-punching thing is out the window now.

Also I just noticed Stain is in one of the panels in the list of things Shiggy hates which is cool.

Well, that’d be jus’ a waste. Why would ya want to deprive the world of such anomaly as yourself?

[up] Arrgh, now I got flashbacks from "Handshakers"...

That aside, I can see where the author might be going with this...

At one point, Deku will reach out to Shigaraki in order to save him from some perilous situation with his bare hand, calling to him to take it(with zero clue that hands are safe zones from "Decay")...and after some serious hesitation,Shigaraki ends up accepting the gesture, saving him both literally and symbolically from the destructive spiral that's his life.

A hero that saves everyone.

A boy that actually was saved by a hero.

The patterns are forming towards that scenario from the look of this, in my opinion, that is. (not absolute fact.)

That aside, Seeing the John Nomu...and recalling that the clinic is hiding in a kindergarten...

This doctor is... Messed. Up.'

Well....that's pretty messed up.

[up]Actually, taking Shiragaki's hand would be the worst choice since we know his quirk doesn't work on those. It wouldn't prove anything.
