It could be so powerful that their final showdown will be formidable.
My Hero Academia Chapter 358 could resolve some of the important doubts about Shigaraki Tomura and the secret of his creepy new ability. This article will contain spoilersso if you want to read the full disclosure on your own, we recommend you do it through the service of MangaPlus by Shueisha.
Shigaraki Tomura explains in the last chapter of My Hero Academia that the Simple Growth is the way your body adapts to All For One. This was the result of the transformation process that Dr. Garaki put Shigaraki through to give him the power he previously sought, both to survive and to become the vessel of the villain, and All For One Quirk fully settled in and took root. inside him. His body’s toughness was increased to almost the level of All Might in his prime to deal with the strain of dozens of Quirks, but Simple Growth was how he conquered the Quirk Singularity.
Each of the Quirks that Shigaraki inherited have different modes of activation and body parts that they affect when in use. With the ability of Simple Growth to manifest at will from body partsShigaraki will be able to use many different Quirks simultaneously without combining them into a single attack or overloading his conventional body.
The inner workings of Simple Growth’s abilities that were eventually revealed served to clear up the confusion over whether All For One or Shigaraki himself is in control of the body. There no longer seems to be a struggle for control, as Shigaraki is only focusing on one target right now. He believes that the power Simple Growth grants him is absolute and that it will only be a matter of time before the heroes who face him in battle in My Hero Academia fall, and the society they want to protect soon after.
Shigaraki further expanded his view of the world once it was conquered, explaining that the current Quirk society was unequally divided. He claimed it unfairly favored those with desirable Quirks that weren’t visually displeasing. In what could only be described as a joke, he asked why the heroes who claimed to be fighting desperately for peace were not in favor of his idea of total submission to him. There would no longer be any caste system based on the viability of Quirks, as everyone would be forced to submit to it.
Shigaraki could put an end to the society of heroes in My Hero Academia
These raised speeches in My Hero Academia are more characteristic of All For One than Shigaraki. In his last unequivocal appearance, Shigaraki’s goal was still the total destruction of society, with no ideas of reform or domination. All For One seems to have the advantage over Shigaraki in the fight for his body as it is.but this balance is unlikely to remain intact until the end of the story.
Before the latest chapter of My Hero Academia, Shigaraki Tomura had only offered a glimpse of what his simple growth abilities were capable of, but it was enough for the heroes to decide that he had reached an unprecedented level of threat. He’s easily holding back a team of more than six Heroes, and felt comfortable enough to revel in his new abilities as he ponders his plans for world domination. This is how Shigaraki Simple Growth works.
In line with the established descriptive ability names from My Hero Academia, Simple Growth is exactly what its name suggests. Shigaraki is now able to alter the composition of his body at will, increasing or decreasing his overall mass without the aid of a Quirk or any support items. The fact that it’s an innate ability of his body suggests that the normal rules for Quirks won’t apply to Simple Growth. He probably won’t have a time limit attached to how long you can modify his body, while attacks against Quirks, such as Eraserhead and Monoma Neito’s Combined Erase, won’t affect it at all.
