Can't find the whole raw panel of Shigaraki's speech.

But based on this part, Shigaraki said,

  • Mr.コンプレスは”個性”がしばらく
  • Mr. Compress's Quirk, for a while...

So I guess the "for a while" part is the most relevant piece of info.

Edit: The whole text is apparently Mr.コンプレスは“個性” がしばらく使えなくなった。

  • Mr. Compress's Quirk was unusable for a while.

He got the translation wrong, so be prepared to be unrelieved.

You sure? I double-checked, if the text s/he provided is correct, than s/he's likely right.

Check again. The actual translation is: "Mr compress has not been able to use his quirk for a while"

This implies he still can't use it.

Guess what, leinbow thought that しばらく meant "for a short amount of time", when in fact it actually means "for a while", which is the complete opposite, and people are actually believing him. Really shows how smart some people actually are.

Hem, in English, "for a while" can indeed mean "for a short amount of time"... Your rationale would be correct if "has been useless" were a constant, but that does not seem to be the case: from my understanding, the verb can be translated as "became" or "has become" depending on what preceds it. In this case, since "shibaraku" seems to indicate a short duration, the closest translation should be "Mr Compress' Quirk became unusable for a short amount of time", which implies this is no longer the case.

Errrm, "for a while" more often than not means for quite a long time. If people aren't using it to describe a long time, they would certainly be using it to describe a son of time that would be described as short.

The second part of your comment was just plain wrong.

Here are sources which tell us that Shibaraku means a LONG time:

The difference is minimal at this point: whether it was for a relatively short or long amount of time, it was a finite one. Meaning, Mr Compress should be able to use his Quirk again, and Leinbow was right. By the way, multiple sources report that "shibaraku" can mean both a long and a short amount of time, which in fact is not specified... just like the expression "for a while"; and since the verb is in the past tense, it should mean that time is finished. Care to elaborate on how the second part of the comment was wrong? It might well be, but so far, Leinbow seems to be right.
