Shiny Pokemon for your thoughts on this battle?

Pride's regen should delay the decay enough for him to impale tomura, so pride wins.

I’d say Pride has enough power to hold Tomura off

Pride

This.

Pride will definitely take some damage but ultimately his regen gives him the win. For now, Shigaraki is still a bit of a glass cannon- he can cause large town-scale destruction with a single move but still hasn't shown the durability to suggest he'd survive a full onslaught from Pride.

@mcu-defender333: I wouldn't call him a glass cannon, hes just vulnerable to piercing damage. Hes been shown to take multi building block attacks iirc

Yeah sorry, what I should have said is that he doesn't have the feats to suggest he'd tank Pride's attacks (which have been shown to effortlessly slice through rock).

Thinking about it, would Shigaraki have the edge in speed here as well? And I wonder how effective his quirk would be against Pride's shadows? If he could just keep erasing them then he might win this- as he showed, all he needs to do is touch the ground beneath him to attack everything within a town-sized radius so he wouldn't even need to go near Pride.

Starting to think he might take this.

Going with Pride, mainly due to regen.

Does Pride even have regen like the other homunculi? While I've heard some people say him not taking physical damage like the others is due to self-censoring, I thought it was because his true form is the shadows (and the infant form), as Hoenheim IIRC mentioned after the fight in the tunnels, and his physical "body" is just a container, shown more clearly in his last fight with Edward, as the "container" couldn't regen and had to be replaced by shadows (unlike Envy, Lust, Sloth, and Gluttony, who continuously regenerated until their philosopher's stones were depleted).

Shadow doesn't be annahiliated by decay so I'd give pride might wins

Still Pride, I think. Could change next chapter.

Pride still wins. Regeneration is a big factor.

Currently I would say Shigaraki. At the time this thread was made I don't know. Not really sure the healing factor can keep up with the decay.

Could go either way.

Current Tomura solos the verse except the truth (which is not battling at all)
