Evidence

I’ve seen a lot of talk about the USJ Nomu not actually being comparable to All Might, only being capable of matching him because of Shock Absorption. This is belief is easily proven false by the series.

-AFO was creating the Nomu with the intention of physically forcing All Might to kneel through its raw strength.
-Aizawa confirms that even without quirks, the Nomu was easily on par with All Might.
-Tomura tells All Might that the Nomu is as strong as him, so trying to restrain him via slamming him into the ground wouldn’t work.
-All Might says that the Nomu has unbelievable strength. Despite knowing that Kurogiri was about to chop him in half, he seemingly couldn’t escape the Nomu’s grasp.
-AFO himself confirms that the Nomu was indeed as strong as All Might, despite its defeat. They simply underestimated how far All Might was willing to push himself.
-As fast as All Might.

Common counter arguments and misconceptions.

1. All Might was holding back/beat the Nomu so there’s no way it’s as strong as All Might

All Might and Deku both confirm that he was going beyond 100% of his power. That’s the only way he could have beat it.

1. Nomu could only match All Might because of shock absorption

2. See above, it’s still physically on par with All Might. Shock Absorption was to ensure All Might has no way of beating it.

Rating

S tier
Rating explanations:
Z= As strong, or stronger than Prime All Might.
Z- = Not as physically strong as Prime All Might, but capable of contending with him or beating him.
S+ = Stronger than Weakened All Might.
S= Direct equal to Weakened All Might.
S- = Not as physically strong as Weakened All Might, but capable of contending with or beating him.
A+ = weaker than, but close, to All Might levels of power.

Tomura even confirms that he was pushed to his limits by the attack.

Why do some people say the gauntlet allows him to use higher percentages across his entire body even though it’s stated to only work on his arm?

People hate when you scale with statements and not feats, but when it comes to MHA feats just aren’t acceptable apparently.

If Hood is faster than Endeavor who can keep up with All Might level Tomura wouldn’t that mean he too has stats on par with All Might?

He was merely knocked unconscious by a Howitzer Impact from Bakugo.

How did this Nomu take similar damage as Shigaraki from the same attack? This is a random high end whose only purpose was to fly Shigaraki to Star and Stripe.

But people in this sub will tell you MHA characters are weak.

But people here will try to convince you that MHA characters are “weak”. Shigaraki at this point doesn’t have any strength enhancing abilities. This is raw physicality.
