Literally came back to put your a similar theory XD I was just on insta bnha285 tag and I found out about the forced quirk activation thing and honestly I was so happy. For like a second, then I realized. . . Shiga can now use bakus quirk as he wants. Either steal or just toy with him. I believe he might want to toy with him more than steal it. Shiga knows, thanks to when he captured BAKU and he got rescued by his friends, that deku cares greatly for BAKU. So it's better for him to toy with BAKU and use him against deku. On the other hand shiga ain't 100%in control rn so it would be AFO's decision. My other reasoning is that if shiga is in control again he would throw BAKU to the side, the moment shiga said "you are not in my radar anymore", or something like that, to baku earlier in the fight. So out of stubbornness he might not use baku.
This isn't anything new to your theories I'm just kinda giving support to em.
Yes yes yes indeed. That's what I was shouting as well when ive calmed down from the whole thing. I didnt went as far as him being quirkless but I did think it could be forcible quirk usage. My boi can't be gone yet just like that.
before i start, take a deep breath. relax. wipe your tears if you cried (me too). beware this is pretty long.
i’m gonna predict what happens to bakugou after ch 285. yes in that chapter he got impaled by the tendrils and he’s not looking good. but don’t forget that the tendrils are part of AFO’s quirk called Forced Quirk Activation. basically they activate someone’s quirk by stabbing the person’s body. AFO used this before on kurogiri and magne during the fight at kamino and their bodies seemed to have minimal injuries. so yes, the tendrils are not that harmful and bakugou has a chance at living.
however, bakugou was freaking IMPALED. idk if that will make a difference. but if he does survive, things are still not looking good. now that the tendrils got a hold on him, AFO can take control of bakugou’s quirk and use it at his own will. damn, i even think AFO can steal his quirk for good. so i think the story continues with either:
1. AFO steals his quirk. (bakugou will end up quirkless)
2. AFO takes control of his quirk. (meaning deku will have to fight bakugou)
3. bakugou suffers critical injuries (assuming injuries by getting impaled is different than getting stabbed) and falls to the ground. todoroki will catch him (from what i remember todoroki is just below him)
4. and the worst possible outcome, he dies. (this is unlikely but please NO)
