Unveiling the Mysterious Ability: Shigaraki's Innate Danger Sense in My Hero Academia
Deku faces off against Shigaraki in My Hero Academia chapter 411, prompting questions about Shigaraki's ability to use Danger Sense without training Find out why in this insightful article
The latest release of My Hero Academia, Chapter 411, finally delivered the highly anticipated face-off between Deku and Tomura Shigaraki. After both characters had been relatively low-key in the manga for over a year, author Kohei Horikoshi has now tied up all other storylines, setting the stage for the ultimate showdown between these two characters.
In addition, this chapter of My Hero Academia also delved into the cliffhanger from the previous chapter, focusing on Shigaraki acquiring Deku's Danger Sense Quirk and the expected reactions from the characters.
The chapter also demonstrates Tomura's total control of this Quirk without the rigorous training Deku had to undergo in order to master it. Let's now explore the reasons behind this disparity. Please note that this article contains spoilers for the My Hero Academia series.
Explaining why Shigaraki can use Danger Sense without training in My Hero Academia
Following Katsuki Bakugo's victory over All For One, the My Hero Academia manga has shifted its focus to the clash between Deku and Tomura Shigaraki. In this battle, Shigaraki manages to steal Deku's Quirk, Danger Sense. This unique ability allowed Deku to anticipate and react to any impending danger, proving to be a valuable asset in his confrontation with Shigaraki.
Shigaraki now has it, much to Deku and the former One For All users' frustration. He has managed to use it without much difficulty. The chapter doesn't explain how Tomura mastered it so quickly, but it could be argued that having All For One's Quirk-stealing ability allows him to understand said powers faster than the average person.
This Quirk may be easier for Deku to understand from the beginning compared to others he's had to learn. It's possible that the lack of explanation is a plothole, but it's also possible that the author will address it in future chapters since Shigaraki has just received the Quirk.
What could happen in this battle?

Shigaraki has brought Deku to Mt. Fuji in the most recent chapter of My Hero Academia manga with the intention of using Decay to cause widespread destruction with the lava.
Even the One for All users within Deku have acknowledged how Tomura has become a symbol of chaos and destruction, which is why Izuku's attempt to appeal to the villain appears to be futile.
In recent arcs, Deku has expressed a desire to "save" Shigaraki, but some argue that he may be beyond redemption. However, Horikoshi may still choose to take the story in that direction, with the execution potentially sparking varied reactions from fans, especially given that this is the series' final battle.
Final thoughts
The rapid mastery of Danger Sense by Tomura Shigaraki in the My Hero Academia manga is unconfirmed and unexplained.
It is important to note that this development is recent, and forthcoming chapters may provide a proper rationale for this.
Editor's P/S
As a Gen Z netizen, I am intrigued by the recent developments in the My Hero Academia manga, particularly the revelation of Shigaraki's ability to use Danger Sense without any apparent training. This unexpected turn of events has sparked discussions and raised questions among fans, including myself.
While it is understandable that Shigaraki possesses All For One's Quirk-stealing ability, which may grant him a faster understanding of stolen powers, the lack of explanation for his immediate mastery of Danger Sense feels like a potential plothole. It would have been more satisfying if the manga had provided some insight into how Shigaraki achieved this level of proficiency so quickly. Nevertheless, I trust that the author, Kohei Horikoshi, may address this in future chapters, as Shigaraki has only recently acquired the Quirk.
