There's another solution that's been there since the beginning. Eraser has always been the perfect counter to AFO and therefore Shigaraki now. In fact, he could have kicked AFO's ass easily at if he had been at Kamino. This time he is there.

A handful of pocket sand to the eyes can stop him though, the second he blinks it's all over, Eri's power is the only one that (if in the hands of someone with more experience and stamina) could potentially just negate the decay long enough to actually beat the Shigaraki.

Heroes are too nice. Should've slit Shigaraki's throat while he was lying there defenseless after coming out of the fluid. Also is there no military in this world? They always seem to want to rely on hand to hand combat. Dude can decay stuff, but I have to assume he's not immortal. If they dropped precision guided munitions from way up he probably wouldn't even realize death is speeding toward him.

But then, I guess that wouldn't make for a very gripping story

Right! Like, does his decay powers work faster then a speeding bullet!?

Decay literally defeated air in the episode, that bullet ain't doing shit.

Did it though? I thought it only affect stuff that was physically connected to each other?

It stopped and overpowered Deku's attack which is just a strong wind pressure... so yes, it definitely did.

It did but by the explanation given for it it should not have and I bet it will never be used to just kill everyone touching the air around him which it should be able to if it could stop an air blast.

Shigaraki is pretty much the story's biggest weak point. His backstory, his powers, and his personality are all badly done.

[GDB]

His backstory could have worked if not being completely engulfed by All For One. He'd be a symbol of how society itself fails due to relying on heroes and not taking any responsibility for itself. Instead, he's just another cog in the background villain's overarching plot.

Instead of being alone and barely surviving due to these conditions, he was just raised by a wannabe tyrant. It all just falls apart because they wanted an ultra big bad controlling everything.

[Guardian Enzo]

I don’t agree with all this Shigaraki criticism but to the extent it is true, that’s why Stain was the best HeroAca antagonist (and one of the best in shounen).

Yea, but there is a bit of difference between strong wind pressure and an 800 grain bullet travelling nearly 2000 miles per hour

[Kanon]

Well, Shigaraki is definitely overpowered now. Even with all his quirks erased he has strength far surpassing Deku's 45% output. He really doesn't need One for All, but AFO's obsession with it compels him to seek out that power. Eraser prevents the heroes from being completely helpless, but it'll be tough to win this one even with superior numbers.

[GDB]

I like how they even copied Spider-Man's poses while Deku was swinging.

I didn't like that the actual swinging was CGI though. I'm used to better from Bones. Well, it only lasted a few seconds, so no big deal. Regardless, nothing has vowed me this season. The animation is good, but it doesn't really feel like a set-up compared to the previous seasons dragged down by movies. I expected better.

As far as battle shounens go, there's no competing with Chainsaw Man this season, but even Bleach is far better animated. I never thought I'd see the day a Pierrot show would outdo a Bones one. Of course, we have to factor in Bones is doing two cours (I think?), but I still feel underwhelmed.

[Kanon]

I'd like to know what people think of this Shigaraki fight. I continue to remain unimpressed. I've realized the reason Bleach has been so impactful this season is not only because of its great animation, but also because they don't hesitate to add to the fight choreography of the manga. Deku vs Shiraraki in this ep was textbook the same fight as the manga, they even used stills.

[Strahan]

When Toga pinned down Ochako and was like "what do you want to do to me?" with her face so close, the yuri fan in me was hoping she'd be like "this!" and kiss her, heh. I wonder what kind of reaction Toga would have had to that, lol

[Chosen_Hero]

I can now see why so many manga readers either stopped caring or are just plain old annoyed with the series.

Deku is basically just the tired old chosen one trope at this point (even more than he already was) but he's a super dee duper chosen one because of course he is the best fit for One for All because... reasons, I guess.

Shigaraki makes no fucking sense, he is basically near unbeatable at this point and the only reason Deku is even keeping up is because of MC bullshit, plot armor and receiving powers off screen, Hirokoshi has stacked the deck way too much on the villains side that their plot armor is somehow even stronger than Deku's.

The powercreep is insane at this point.

Then there's Toga and her hypocritical feelings, mad that twice got killed when they themselves have murdered who knows how many innocents, and yeah sure, heroes shouldn't kill, BUT WHEN YOU LEAVE THEM NO OTHER CHOICE THEN WHAT ARE THEY SUPPOSED TO DO? DID SHE EXPECT HAWKS TO JUST LET HIMSELF BE KILLED JUST SO TWICE CAN KEEP HELPING THEM MIRDER MORE PEOPLE? She possibly just murdered an innocent old lady and took her blood to lure Uraraka for a talk when she could be helping save more lives... the show wants this to come off as a villain being deep but she just comes off as extremely stupid and borderline retarded.

[Guardian Enzo]

Actually this arc is among the most popular with manga readers.

Well, in all fairness I don't think anyone has accused Toga of being particularly mentally stable

[Chosen_Hero]

^Mentally unstable =/= stupid.
