My Hero Academia

We still need to hit the climax of the whole Dabi thing, so he will most likely survive, but who knows if he'll be able to do anything after this.

Actually, stigmata generally aren't used by blasphemers. Catholic saints have been known to be visited by demons impersonating Christ, only to be exposed when the saint asked to see the wounds. They simply won't glorify Christ's Passion by mimicking His wounds.

Would fire decay? i feel like Endy's a good counter to Shiggy, ignoring the fact that he can energybend him steal his Quirk. And whatever extra stuff he may have already like Regen. Probably has fire resistance too.

I think Shiggy might spare Endeavour, or even make it look like he wins, just to make it hit harder when the truth about Dabi is revealed.

Shiggy has demonstrated a willingness to let people live if he thinks it's worse than killing them so yeah, that could work.

After horribly maiming them.

Part of the reason for that maiming was to render Overhaul functionally quirkless. Now he can just render someone properly quirkless.

Except that Dabi hasn't revealed his true identity to the League.

Keeps trying but his speech bubbles always get blacked out, Shiggy told him he doesnt even care anymore.

Still waiting for Izuku to learn of Shigaraki's past. Whether or not this story ends with him being "saved" (which people arguing for never actually define what that means) I still feel like that needs to happen for their conflict to carry as much weight as it should.

So Twice is dead. Damn, didn't see that coming..

You're a couple weeks late my dude.

Actually it'd be super funny if Shigaraki kills Endeavor and Dabi is like 'bro I had this epic plan I've been working on for years and you ruined it wtf'

When has Horikoshi ever been that troll for the story

do you think horikoshi will ever have izuku kill a villain if he does Ithink it will be toga given that her first victim looked alot like izuku so it would be fitting if the one who kills her is someone who looks alot like her first kill

Nah, it's too idealistic to let the hero kill a person (especially a teenage girl) no matter how heinous their crimes.

Well...Deku is an idealist who just wants to save people at the end of the day. But I don't think he's going jeopardize the lives of innocent people just to appeal to one person.

I'm getting really exhausted by these "heroes are the real villain" narratives that ignore any type of nuance to push this agenda. This is the type of shit that All Might called Shigaraki out for in the USJ arc and how that line of thinking was bullshit to justify his selfish actions.

It feels like it would work either way

I can see how Horikoshi writing Deku to end up not killing anyone fits the story so far

And if he does end up having to kill someone, it also wouldn’t be too jarring imo

Heroes by default don't kill it seems, only use lethal force when keeping them alive is too dangerous as we saw with Endeavor vs. Hood. He was trying to take him in alive at first, but concluded that it was too dangerous and just opted to put him down.

So far and with all we've seen, Shigaraki gives the idea that they'll have to kill him if they want to stop him. Dabi probably too, and who knows if the others will force it to that point.

By default, Deku's going to go for the nonlethal option every time. I don't think he'll outright refuse to kill if the time comes where there's the option between killing the villain and letting him hurt innocent people, but it's going to be the absolute last option. Someone like Deku would definitely feel regretful about having to kill someone, so while I don't think it would be jarring or feel disingenuous with his character if it happened, he'd meditate on it for a while I think.

Also yeah, I'd like Deku to learn about Shigaraki's backstory too. Nana's vestige could tell him about it. There's a lot of setup about their parallels anyway, and Deku is a very empathetic person, which would make their dynamic more interesting, especially if Deku learned about Shigaraki's connection to Nana and how he was manipulated by AFO.

Oh fyi, all of the quirk destruction bullets were destroyed in Shigaraki's decay wave. So no dequirking for Endeavor today

Well that plot thread went nowhere then.

Depends on whether or not Garaki was able to do anything with the info beforehand.

I mean, Shigaraki can steal Endeavour's quirk with Af O at this point, can't he?
