Deep dives
Deku's Determination to Save Shigaraki
Deku is determined to save Shigaraki, despite Nana's doubts. He believes that he can unleash his true power and smash through Shigaraki's darkness. He acknowledges that his desire to save Shigaraki stems from his own guilt and responsibility. All Might's vestige urges Deku to pass on One For All, signaling a pivotal moment in their journey. Star and Stripe's vestige points to a tragic past, hinting at future revelations and further battles.
The Strategy to Defeat Shigaraki
Deku is unable to move due to the recoil caused by his multiple Quirks. The other vestiges decide that Deku should not be thrown at Shigaraki like a projectile but instead remain near Kota for protection. The second user proposes a plan to destroy One For All piece by piece by throwing various vestiges at Shigaraki. This strategy aims to weaken Shigaraki's hold over One For All. Deku's terrifying appearance reflects his determination and growing power.
The Role of Vestiges in the Battle
During the battle, All Might's connection with One For All allows him to see inside Shigaraki's mind and witness Star and Stripe's vestige pointing to a forlorn little boy. The presence of the vestiges within Deku's consciousness deepens the mystery of their identities and how they can influence the outcome of the battle. The chapter also alludes to the imminent appearance of the other vestiges: the third user, Bakugo, and Todoroki.
