I feel like The Final Smash is still a bit underrated in terms of feats here, because it upscales Deku (and debatably All Might) by a crap ton.

In total, during this scene, Deku was not only heavily tired and extremely injured during his fight with Shigaraki,but it was to the point where he was struggling to stand, let alone run. And he needed the help of Aoyama and Iida to get a kickstart.

And not only was he the MVP by dealing the most damage to All for One, but he released a massive smash that cleared storms all across Mt. fuji that eventually reached America that affected an entire country, (keep in mind, this punch was aimed straight up and not angled, so the final smash debatably affected more.)

And while Deku did say that in that moment, his One for All was a little bit stronger then the 8th user, (being prime All Might since Deku is the 9th,) it is important to remember that, again, Deku is using the embers here, which is way weaker then base OFA, even if he just recently lost it since he dosen't have the full OFA package anymore, even if we disregard the other quirks, since that's how embers work.

And this feat by itself, would probably immediately KO anyone else in verse if hit head on except maybe Prime Shigaraki and rewind AFO. (rewind AFO is pretty much immortal until he rewinds out of existence, and Shigaraki dosen't use quirks that buff his durability so

So imagine a fresh Deku with all of his quirks doing this same feat with 100% One for All and stacked with all of his other quirks. Absolutely no one is surviving this, and Rewind AFO would probably go from an adult to an child with how much damage this would do, which is why I say this feat is not only underrated, but upscales Deku the absolute max.

Although, in my opinion, it's hard to say how much DC damage would this do with prime Deku, considering OFA percentages aren't exactly linear.

Look at it.. It's beautiful... Amazing... EDIBLE!! it's everything I could ever DREAM! It would be perfect! However...

There's a good chance it could be a limited time only.

I swear.. I swear to absolute Rufus, if this skin is limited time only I would be so mad. I have NO UNITS OR LATTICE!!

I legit only have 80 units because I spent +1.6K of them on the brand new day skin; and I feel SO SO SO SO SO SO SO SO SO SO SO SO SO SO SO SO SO stupid.

Please GOD let this be permanent, or at LEAST let me refund my units on my BND... PLEASE!!

This is one of the better games that I had as Spider-Man IN BOT LOBBIES as I mainly play there to get better at him. Last post, I made ranting about how I'm more garbage then a [censored] and I wanted to make a version without me insulting myself.

So, about my thoughts, I usually practice with Spider-Man in either bot lobbies or custom lobbies, where In custom lobbies, I play completely by myself and against one bot to practice my 1v1 skills. And I have to say, Spider-Man feels like the perfect character, but only if you actually like him.

If you actually really enjoy Spider-Man as a character in game and in general marvel lore, then he’s very rewarding if you put effort into learning him. He’s does incredibly good combos, he’s the fastest non-flying character in the game when it comes to mobility and has ways to easily come and leave fights. He has incredibly useful tech and his team up abilities are incredibly useful if used right, and he even has a grapple that where if you’re really skilled and the condition are just right, you can completely pull enemies off the map and one shot them.

When I say “put effort into learning him”, I mean that Spider-Man revolves around 3 main things.

• His Combos

• His Match ups

• Aim.

However, you need to be at least decent with all of these to fully excel with Spider-Man. You can’t be great at one, and be bad with another. You can’t do his combos if you don’t know his matchups and get bodied trying to combo a Devil Dinosaur. You can’t do his combos either with bad aim because a lot of his combos rely on his spider tracker for the extra damage, and those things are small with no tracking or splash damage.
___

Unfortunately, Spider-Man’s downsides or weaknesses can be heavily overwhelming if you’re new to him. For example, due to his combo play style, he gets hard countered by every vanguard in the game, including some duelists like Namor or Wolverine. Spider-Man is an absolute glass canon, so you can’t attack them without help, or at least wait for them to get low and then swing in.

And then there’s also his cooldown management. Despite having unlimited melees, his web sling is REALLY limited. If you use all three trying to get to a point, you have no way to escape once you get pressured.

___

So in my opinion, the best way to play Spider-Man is to play him like Arkham Batman instead of playing him like PS4 Spider-man. Spider-Man has no chance against most vanguards head on, so you’ll have to go past them, target their healers, and immediately regroup elsewhere if you can’t slowly pick off the enemy anymore. (This can also apply to most dive characters)

And Spider-Man doesn’t only do good against Healers. A good Spider-Man can also do great against many duelist as well like Iron-Man or Squirrel-Girl. You just have to know which is okay to fight and which to avoid at all costs.

___

But in my opinion, even with all of these faults, he can still be called “the perfect” character for Spider-Man fans if you play him right. Because even though he definitely isn’t new player friendly compared to Iron-Man, he’s still fun depending on the circumstances, and you can really cook if you’re good with him.

With the state that he’s in currently, I’d argue he doesn’t need any nerfs like at all, like reduced damage or smth like that. Because you’re gonna unnecessarily make him much more harder for new players. As for buffs, I’d say “ehh”. Spider-Man is in a really good state right now, and buffs might unnecessary make him incredibly OP really quickly if not careful.

I already said my ideas about buffs earlier on a past post, but if I was to think of another buff without bringing that up, it would be his Venom team up. In my opinion, it always bothered me thats his team up with Venom only covers him, but not actually covers him if that makes sense.

To reword it, in Spider-Man media 90% of the time, when Spider-Man is using Venom, he covers Spider-Man’s entire body in either a new suit or possessing Spider-Man as a host. Marvel Rivals dosen’t do that, and it only uses venom as a weapon before immediately retracting. So that’s my idea, thanks to watching Spider-Man 2 gameplay.

When using the venom team up, it should cover Peter’s entire body with the venom symbiote. It won’t give more health or give super armor, but it’ll change his “get over here” to a grabbing attack that allows him to outstretch the venom tendrils and Slam enemies into the ground along with his normal symbiote team up ability. Of course, the trade off would be making the cooldown longer.

Due to Aether not using Nightsoul blessing against Dottore, I thought for a LONG while that Nightsoul Blessing, in lore, was something that very possibly only worked while you're in Natlan, by drawing power from the Nightsouls in the Night Kingdom.

However, in the recent Aether VS Ronova fight, Aether encases his body in fire, and sends Blades of fire at Ronova, something we haven't seen either of those things do since Natlan.

I thought this was Nightsoul blessing for a HOT second before having to rewatching this fight multitple times and seeing that he didn't have the
glowing tattoos that he did while fighting Gosoythoth.

So I fell on research, and I did VERY much struggle to find anything saying Nightsoul blessing was limited to only Natlan like Phlogiston (butchered the name) is.

So here's my current take: and I could be wrong, but hear me out:

Nightsoul blessing works by drawing power from the souls of the dead from the Night Kingdom. Aether can do the same, but HIS Nightsoul blessing only works with his Pryo element, not any of his others. The reason why is because he connected with the Lord of the Night and gained the element of Pryo, not any of his others though this way.

Due to this, if Aether is using more then one element including Pryo, Nightsoul blessing wouldn't work. However, if he focused more on Pryo, he would use more of Nightsoul blessing. This would explain why during the fight against Dottore, only his sword was encased, while against Ronova, his entire body was very heavily resembling Nightsoul blessing minus the glowing patterns on his body, since he was focusing more elemental Pryo energy.

This would also explain how he's able to use Nightsoul blessing outside of Natlan in gameplay, since Pryo Aether is only ever using Pryo.

Now of course, there are holes in my theory, like the glowing patterns still not appearing in the Ronova fight and such, but this is legitimately the best I can come up with as of currently, especially since we never seen any Nightsoul character enter Nightsoul blessing outside of gameplay. (Heck, we never seen one fight outside Natlan.)

But it's due to my holes in my theory that I could very well be completely wrong, or right on point, either or...

(Note: I am not playing OFA Deku. I know, shocking.)

And also, no hate to the person behind the controller, but this Froppy has been catching me lacking SO many times, and I would've gotten killed by them if it wasn't for my OWN Froppy on my team saving me with her tongue. (Pause.)

But I got back by smashing her! HA!!! (Double pause)

When I say that I'm bad at spiderman, I am not joking at all. I am absolutely HORRID at this man. My skills at this man is a VERY generous 1.557 / 10. I can absolutely guarantee you, you could give a 4 year old the controls to Spider - man, teach them the basics, and they would look like a pro player that wins offical eSports compared to me.

I know his SpideyHop tech and just less of the bare minimum of his combos, and I still get ragdolled through the game harder then Peter B Parker was at the beginning of Into The Spider - Verse.

I can handle fighting certain characters like Iron Man or Jeff The LandShark, but EVERY TANK / VANGUARD in this GAME could beat me with one hand. I have to constantly avoid them as if they had COVID and wish they don't swat me like a bug. Because it feels like ALL of their attacks could two shot me while the only attack that I could actually damage them with is my Ultimate.

And the 250 health is a really bad pain to deal with at times. It feels like every fight I go in, I take massive damage no matter what and have to run to my healers like a child running to their mommy when they get a Boo-boo.

My Spider - Man is currently level 13, and I'm trying to get to Lord at level 20, but it feels as if i'm just BARELY over halfway there. (I am, since 20 / 2 = 10)

But i'm not asking for buffs, tips, or a way to steal all of the bagles in the statue of liberty so I can full them with cotton candy and throw them at diabetic ducks, I just wanted to vent :[

Okay, So Aether has all seven elements, and a new sword, but it dosen't feel as if he unlocked his full powers that Asmoday sealed. We seen him fight at full power twice so far and his wings was nowhere to be found.

And while he did get a new sword, (the Exaiphanes Blade) it dosen't have a description in the weapon archives yet. So we know nothing about it except the name, the fact that Aether found it in a cave, and the fact that it has responses to a Statue of the Seven in Snezhnaya when using Cryo.

We don't see his wings, and Aether nor Paimon never actually said that he undid the seal in which at least one of them definitely would have, since the seal been present all throughout the game. We've seen Columbina loosen it, but that's pretty much it.

Speaking of, the reason why Columbina was able to loosen the seal was because Columbina had Trilunar authority. When Dottore had tri lunar authority, he was able to Minalulate time and space. And even with that power, Columbina was only able to lift some of the restrictions on him, not all.

Although my best guest; the way how Aether regains his full power could deal with one of these three things: A different Shade, The Gnosis, and Paimon.

First off, I've done some research to refresh my memory and at first, I've thought there was absolutely no chance any of the shades would undo the seal completely. But after going back, I did eventually refind that one of the shades, Naberius was fused with Rhinedottir. Maybe Rhinedottir could bite and help Aether, with how much he helped Albeto, but I'm not 100% sure.

Second is the Gnosis. I've seen on YouTube that Aether has a "downgrade" version of the archons (minus Furina's) abilities. So, there could be a possibility that the Gnosis could kinda override the seal, and the Tsaritsa already has "all" of the gnosis. However, there's a couple of problems.

1. They're missing a Gnosis, with it being the Pryo gnosis, since it was either burned down along with Irmunsul, or lost to the Ley Lines.

2. The Tsaritsa already has plans for the Gnosis. However, since Aether would be a really important ally in order to work with the Fatui in order to overthrow the Heavenly Principles, The Tsaritsa could alter her plan and make Aether the focus, but not sure.

Third off on ways that Aether could undo the seal within himself if it still exists is Paimon. Now this next part could be a stretch, but hear me out. It's been recently revealed that Paimon is a creation of Celestia, much like the other Shades. However, she dosen't have any of Celestia's power or Authority. What if the reason why isn't because Paimon is weak, but because Paimon was incomplete. What if Paimon was meant to be a shade, but was pulled away from Celestia prematurely by The Jester.

In other words, Paimon is a baby while other Shades such as Ronova are fully matured. And it does seem like Paimon being from Celestia will be a big deal within this Region or the next.

So, what if Paimon gains the full power of a Shade and completely undo the Seal onto Aether in the seemingly upcoming war against the Heavenly Principles.

Of course, this quickly made theory of mine does seem like a stretch, but fun to think about!

(note: I'm not only just starting 7.0. This is a clip I forgot to upload.)

There are Three things I really want in this game, and a Interactive PAIMON gadget that follows us around is one of them.

I NEED ONE!!! HAHAHAJAJDJDNXKDNXFN

(Reupload because I censcored the Subreddit’s name)

Childe said Traveler DEFEATED Signora in a duel. Not killed. Raiden Shogun was the one that killed her.

And I've also seen someone say "She couldn't back out because Raiden Shogun said Proceed", but Raiden Shogun said proceed because she was allowing Aether to challenge Signora, not because she was forcing Signora to take part.

It wouldn't be a duel in this given context if Signora was forced to take part. But Signora was clearly eager to take part in this match and fully accepted, only to be killed by RAIDEN SHOGUN.

And even later, Odette does not blame Aether for what he did at all because of what Signora did.

THEY GAVE THIS MAN A GUN!! The elemental gun system is legit SO FUN! And the fact that you can see it on display and tinker with it outside of the Shadow realm realm means that the Aether can technically use this outside of the Shadow realm in lore, but can't in gameplay, unfortunately.

Imagine pulling up to a Hilichurl camp in Mondstat and unloading a clip with the blicky😭

Better yet, imagine challenging a weekly boss in Co-op and you and a friend full on Starts shooting like a Call of Duty lobby😭😭

I've been poking around in Travermains and the FatuiHQ subreddit (that subreddit HATES the traveler more then the actual Fatui does LOL) and I have seen a lot of people say that they dislike Aether becoming friends with some of the harbringers, but I don't see why.

Aether becoming friends with the harbringers are, in my opinion, signs of his character development. In the beginning of the story (let's say Mondstadt to early Inuzuma) , he was very anti Fatui or anti- Fatuus. However, later; he became friends with the Fatui members that actually showed him redeemable qualities.

Arlecchino, Childe, and Sandrone all shared some redeemable qualities that made Aether soften to them. Other characters like Dottore, Signora, or Regrator has not or has yet to show any redeemable qualities to Aether that would make him actually consider them as friends.

And while you could argue that they all did bad acts, like Childe releasing a water monster onto Liyue or Arleechino attacking Furina, those was in effort of obtaining the Gnosis. Childe himself said that he never wanted to awaken Osai, but it was a backup plan in case he couldn't get the Gnosis. He had already planned on having Rex Lapis save Liyue, and him taking the Gnosis afterwards or during.

Of course, I'm not saying Childe's and Arlecchino's actions should be completely excused, but I am saying they did those things because they had to, not because of their own personal self interest. And now, with all of the Gnosis already taken (except pryo), the chances of them doing something like that again is incredibly low unless directly ordered to.
___

I've also seen someone argue that now, the Fatui doesn't feel like villains anymore, or that they've been redesigned / rewritten since 1.0.

Now, me personally, I can't really see it the Harbringers being redesigned Or rewritten Besides Balladeer and Sandrone, most harbringers are relatively the same besides befriending Aether. And 1.0 was only Mondstat and Liyue, so the only harbringers Aether actually met was Signora and Childe.we didn't meet Sandrone and Arlecchino until much later,and Childe is, safe to say, almost exactly the same.

1. The ability to use Six out of Seven Elements of Tevyat without a vision.

・ Anemo, Geo, Electro, Dendro, Hydro, and Pryo.

2. The ability to use certain Elemental reactions on his own without the help of others.

**・**Vaporize, Electro-Charged, Overloaded, Burning, Swirl, Crystallize, Catalyze, Bloom, Lunar-Charged, Lunar-Bloom, and Lunar Crystallized. (note: while Aether does not have the Moonsign talent in gameplay, it is safe to say that he can use lunar reactions in lore, especially with Columbina's Blessing )

3. Nightsoul Blessing.

**・**We did see him use Nightsoul Blessing in both his Pryo gameplay and in the cinematic cutscene. However, I am unsure if Nightsoul characters can canonically use Nightsoul Blessing outside of Natlan.

4. Saurian Indwelling.

**・**Is Able to transform into multiple different Saurians, and this is not just a gameplay feature, as we see him use it in an archon quest cutscene to reach Mavuika. However, it is likely he can't use it outside of Natlan, but I am not 100% sure.

5. Phlohiston Minapulation

**・**Was originally only available to Natlanese characters,Aether is the exception and can use it. However, he cannot use Phlohiston outside of Natlan, as shown through a dialogue with Ineffa.

6. Elemental Sight

・ Aether, as well as any and all characters with visions, Moon wheels, Stellar Linchpins, or any elemental user can use Elemental Sight to find either hidden objects or traces of Elemental energy.

7. Special Elemental Sight

・ A special version of elemental sight that are only available to the Iktomisaurs and the tribespeople of the masters of the night wind. Even though he cannot use it without Saurian indwelling in gameplay, Citlali's story quest: "The truth of the battle of Seven Colors" does show that he can use it without needing to indwel a Iktomisaur.

8. Abyssal Purification / Absorption

・ The ability to "purify" abyssal traces or energy, even in other people. Even going so far as to have high resistance to Abyssal corrosion, something usually deadly to normal humans. However, what he's doing isn't actually purifying, but absorbing it into his own body. He could potentially expell the abyssal energy from his body in a form of attack, but so far, he has not shown any interest in learning how to do so.

9. Kuuvaki Minapulation.

**・**Similar to Phlohiston, Kuuvaki is limited to only Nod-Krai and it's people, but Aether is the exception. He is able to use Kuuvaki to attract or repel different objects also covered with Kuuvaki,and is even able to make a shield or barrier around himself,as taught by Columbina.

10. Experienced Sword Fighter

・ Don't let Death Battle trick you, Aether has over thousands of years in experience with sword fighting, and maybe even more, reaching millions as it was once said that he saw stars come and go in the play station exclusive glider.

11. Resistance to Tevyat's laws.

**・**With Aether's status as a Descender, he is not bound by any laws of Tevyat. As a example, he is unaffected by changes to Irimsul,and when Dottore froze time when kidnapping Columbina, he was not affected. This technically counts as Hax resistance.

12. Not Reliant on Oxygen

・ Due to his Alien DNA, Aether is able to survive in the vaccum of space without relying on oxygen or Columbina buffing him, as seen on the Frostmoon world quest

___

That's all of the current abilities that Aether has. I could be (definitely am) missing some from some world quests. For example, I think Aether can use Adepti energy in a Liyue world quest, but I'm not sure if that's was temporary or I'm flat out wrong since its been awhile, which is why I didn't include it.

This is just a short list to see how many abilities Aether has, and he definitely will gain more in the future, (cryo and his wings for example)

In general, the story quest was good, but it's heavily brought down by the final boss fight with Arlecchino. Her against Lyney, Lynette, and Freminet makes sense. Her while holding back easily bodied all three of them and restrained them with ease, but her against Aether is what confused me.

First off, it makes sense that she was holding back against the other three, but was she really holding back that much against Aether? Why would she use her final transformation against Aether specifically if she had to been careful not to output too much of her power to avoid her curse spreading to her heart like how she explained in Nod-Krai?

Second, Aether not using any elements is weird. He was willing to use both Anemo and Geo against Childe but not any at all against Arlecchino? I know the argument could be made that Aether did use elements and it wasn't shown in the cinematic cutscene part where he was fighting, but surely if he was using elements the entire time, he would've used at least one in the cutscene.

Third, he somehow didn't get a single scratch on him? According to Freminet, he, Lynette, and Lyney was incredibly injured and had to be treated while Aether somehow DID NOT GET A SINGLE SCRATCH??

NOT EVEN JOKING, ACCORDING TO SOMEONE THAT WAS IN THE FIGHT, AETHER DID NOT GET A SINGLE SCRATCH OR INJURY??

So unless if Aether did use elements not shown in the cinematic cutscene, or Arlecchino was holding back way more then she let on when she shouldn't have been, Aether somehow beat base Arlecchino and only lost to full power Arlecchino because he was stunlocked, all while using absolutely no elements?

I'm probably missing something...

(p.s: I know that Freminet, Lyney, and Lynette technically helped, but considering how they could've got one tapped by base Arlecchino if she wasn't holding back, it is safe to say they was playing support for most of the time.)

EVEN PAIMON KNEW WHAT WAS HAPPENING LOLLLLLLL

This entire story arc feels like Citlali writing in her diary about how she fell for Aether, and I'm all for it✋🙂‍↕️🤚

When I first heard about it during maintenance via leaks, I was surprised. Excited even! We finally got a proper anti-cheat after almost three years! This Ruff was almost revolutionary. Had me feeling like a proud father or some Ruff.

But then, of course, it has backfires now that I'm seeing others experiencing it.

For one. You wont be able to play any matches if you play on a steamdeck. One of my friends played one match, and was unable to play anymore, like the game was PHYSICALLY preventing them from playing because they was on steamdeck, and it effected another player as well.

(Of course, I'm leaving their names ambiguous for their privacy)

Secondly, it can effect you and you get a warning if you disconnect. Either if you have a Wi-Fi problem or the game has one of a "server time out", you actually get a warning as if you purposely rage quitted. You'd think the game would be able to tell if the server disconnected you or not, and it can because if your teammates or you disconnect on accident via server problems, you wouldn't lose rank points.

But noooo, you can get a warning and even higher penalties from things that wasn't even your fault.

Byking.. Why do you mess up almost every good thing in this game?

We've met Lumine a couple of times on our journey, and even though they was on opposite sides and Lumine was stronger due to their original powers not being sealed, they didn't hold any Personal grudges against each other. However, Lumine's plan to revive Khaenri'ah and her siding with the Abyss order could eventually reach a point where it could become very dangerous, especially with her aiming to overthrow the heavenly principles, and even topple the Nations of Tevyat.

Once Aether gets his full powers back, he would be the perfect person to try and stop Lumine, and the Abyss order for good. Of course, I’m not expecting Aether to kill Lumine, but it could be really interesting for Aether to realize that the only way to both save and stop Lumine is to stop the Abyss order all together.

New season 18 trailer released, and it seems like a full villain season. (I don't even know WHO the last quirk skill set is? SPONGEBOB??)

But La Brava isn't or is not going to be a seperate character as it seems. She's not even by Gentle's side. Just as a floating drone as if COVID came back for a rematch. I kinda expected La Brava to not be her own seperate character, but this is surprising.

I do DEFINITELY like the look of the new chaos city (might even drop my bais against it) and the new "support" twice looks interesting.

Also: I'm guessing that the last person is Tysusu, which means this isn't a villain only season.

Either that or compresses's got drunk

Ironically, most of these are either on the frost moon or in Natlan. Also, for the newer players: YES! you can go to the same place that you see in the opening scene where you first boot up the game. Pretty coolio, right?

If you want to visit where I went to these images, here's the locations:

First image: On the Frost Moon; space lifeform Capture station

Second image: On the Frost Moon, Traveler's Crater

Third Image: Temple of space: Path of forgotten world

Fourth Image: Natlan -> Ancient Sacred Mountain -> Dragon's Residence in the Ancient Sacred Mountain ->

Fifth Image = Natlan -> Sacred path ruins: Place of parting vows -> Go down the stairs into the liquid lava -> once you reach that spot, you should be in a strange stage with a glowing piller in the upper center. Touch it, and it will immediately take you there.

Sixth image = Ancient Sacred Mountain -> Heart of the moutian -> Once you reach this spot, you should see a large glowing orb in the far center. Touch it, and it will immediately take you to another location similar to a large arena with a floating ring. -> Touch the glowing spot in the center and it will immediately take you there.

Please note: All of these locations are locked behind world quests. The first three are simple, as they are locked behind Nod-Krai and Dorman port respectively. The Natlan world quests are all over the place🥲

Both images that you see are Deku using 45% of One for All, either 45% impact or 45% Full cowling (third image you see could be either or.)

However, the third image is obviously MUCH more powerful then the first. Some people may think that the third image is a outlier, but it's not. Deku's 45% of OFA consistently had massive feats like this during the final war, and the reason why I say this is because my personal theroy is that Deku's base OFA (or one for all without the extra quirks) gets stronger as he unlocks more quirks within One for All. To support my Theory, I'll compare two different deku's. PLW Deku and War Arc Deku + Movie 4 Deku.

In the early PLW, Deku only had one quirk besides the base OFA, which was blackwhip, and his maximum usage of OFA without strain is 30% Full cowling while using 45% impact, and he directly confirmed that a quirkless 75% Shigaraki is much faster. Assuming the base OFA buffs all stats evenly when using Full cowling, then 75% Shigaraki without quirks should be much stronger then Deku, even while using 45% impact.

This is, of course, consistent in the season 6 PLW. Deku is constantly struggling against Shigaraki, even with outside help with heroes such as Endeavor and Kacchan.

Then, we go beyond the Dark Hero arc, where Deku fully unlocks all of his quirks. Between the final war and the PLW, Deku didn't have much time to train. Even during the Dark Hero Arc, where he would be much more busy capturing jailbreakers and hunting down All for One rather then training. And yet, One for All obviously grows in exponentially stronger, even without the other quirks, doing feats with only 45% such as:

A: Easily Splitting Dark Might's ship in half.

B: Being able to block a quirkless shigaraki's punch with little effort.

C: Being able to temporarily restrain quirkless shigaraki without the usage of Blackwhip.

All of these feats reign in the categories of Weakened All Might - Prime All Might feats.

Keep in mind, Shigaraki was at 100% completion in the final war arc, and base 45% OFA Deku in the war arc is very clearly equal or even stronger then quirkless shigaraki, despite PLW 30-45% Deku being completely outclassed by a 75% Shigaraki.

The main difference between early - mid PLW Deku and War Arc Deku would be the amount of quirks they both have. Early to mid PLW Deku had only two quirks, being base OFA and blackwhip. Meanwhile, Final War Deku has all 7 quirks inside One for All, which could explain the sudden power buff that he gained.

___

Now, before I end it off here, I have a feeling some people will try and say things to disagree with my theroy, so I'll try and explain them right now.

1. Deku Did not use only 45% during the final war arc, as he was using a bigger percentage like 50-70%.

I personally** **disagree, since the last confirmed percentage that Deku could use without harm was 45%. While you could argue that it could've increased in the dark hero arc and just not been said, I personally think that dosen't make any sense. We've consistently seen throughout the story that Deku's percentages of OFA are constantly said whenever he unlocks a new percentage. It would make little sense of Horokoshi-Sama to suddenly stop using it at one of the most important arcs in the entire story.

2. When Deku blocked Shigaraki's arm he used blackchain to help him, so it wasn't raw 45% if One for All

Actually, no. I have seen this argument before that Deku's blackchain was meant to block shigaraki's arm before he used it to swing Shigaraki around, but we seen the moment of impact between Shigaraki's fist and Deku's arm, and there was no visible blackchain.

So unless if Blackchain started inside of his arm and phased through his arm and Mid-Gauntlet armor to attack Shigaraki, then Deku didn't use blackchain until he actually attacked shigaraki. And note: Deku can use blackchain without having it inside his body, so there's no reasonable reason for him to have it inside of his body in the first place.
