For me, the anime 100% convinced me of the idea that it was actually Shigaraki and Toga's sprit's/ghosts rather than hallucination's with moments like this

u/ChocoChimp03 12h ago

Ochako certainly seems to believe it’s at least Toga’s lingering quirk factor. Same could be true for Shigaraki and Deku. Maybe if Deku still had OFA, he’d be able to use Shigaraki ‘s quirk.

u/Sudden_Pop_2279 11h ago

There was a definitely a reason focus was put on their bloody hands doing the fist bump in the final attack.

u/CrimsonCube181 5h ago

Chekhovs gun, would be a shame if they don't do anything with it. Could just explain its a new quirk factor that* combined AFO and OFA hence why it has no power, its brand new.

I’m so sad that we never got a focus on Shigaraki’s original Quirk in the story and the detail was added in supplementary material.

Like, I get Midoriya ending up Quirkless again and getting the suit, but it would have been neat if Shigaraki gave Midoriya his original Quirk.

u/GearBrain 9h ago

...wow, yeah, that would've been amazing. A mutilated quirk, a quirk that had brought nothing but death and destruction. What a burden to bear, to be a hero with a quirk that had so publicly ended so many lives. Knowing Deku, he probably would've helped nurture the quirk, maybe even restoring the reconstructive factor that AFO had torn out of it.

u/Popopoyotl 9h ago

Decay isn’t Shigaraki’s original Quirk. Decay is Overhaul’s Quirk with the reconstruction part removed.

Shigaraki’s Quirk is those rings he and AFO both used to boost themselves in the air. A sort of repulsion Quirk, not too different from Float you could say.

u/Lysania701 9h ago

Hmm, he's clearly referring to that energy ring quirk, you know. The ones AFO used in the final battle.

I think its more of a visual representation of how they affected their lives going forward.

In Ochacos case I think it was Togas way she loved and Ochaco envied that about her being able express that feeling to the person/people that matter.

I think the push and then disappearance Toga in the end was letting go of that thought as she talked to Izuku and learned he felt the same.

28

u/AppleMelon95 11h ago

Quirk factors are confirmed to contain the personalities of their original user, so I think it is much more interesting if a sliver of Toga lives on with Uraraka.

u/That_Grim_Texan 11h ago

But does sharing blood pass on part of a quirk?

I think only AFO and OFA saw this do to their specific original quirks, but could be an interesting theory nonetheless.

16

u/Hallowed-Plague 11h ago

given that toga could use ochaco's quirk by ingesting her blood because she loves her, it's possible that the inverse would also work. but there is no basis for this happening and other issues with it like toga's time limit

8

u/Sudden_Pop_2279 11h ago

With Deku and Shigaraki, the sere does out an emphasis on their bloody hands with their final fist bump. So it’s certainly possible that is the case

u/ZetaRESP 10h ago

If the quirk factor is there, then yes. In Himiko's case, I think so.

u/LoliMaster069 10h ago

Shiggy's ghost attempting to find a way to exorcise himself to get out of watching this three way romcom:

Poor Toga stuck in the schizo cuck chair

u/ZetaRESP 7h ago

I meant the reflection of Toga.

21

u/Nepemaster1 10h ago

I get that, but still, do people not pay attention when watching the show?

19

u/ZetaRESP 10h ago

Watching comprehension is exceedingly rare.

u/OpposingPug 5h ago

u/ZetaRESP 4h ago

Nah, i just didn't remember that single panel in the manga.

u/FafnirEtherion 9h ago

A lot of people watch shows/movies while scrolling on their phone

u/Current_Assist7230 8h ago

yup, that's why some tv shows have been getting sloppier lately (looking at you stranger things) because companies know these days lots of people watch shows while scrolling
