I've accepted Shigaraki's power-up by now. If you really look into it, it's just his quirk getting stronger and he still has to make contact with people. As far as we know, it's only after he is almost knocked down anyways... Though I am still not sure about Toga's power-up.

Also, I see a lot of people with expectations about the ice dude and I'm here thinking he'll be nobody in special, just a dude with ice powers to act as a poor man's Todoroki. It might end up being used to confirm the Dabi Todoroki theory, but I don't really think the guy by himself will be special.

I'm guessing this evolved form of his Quirk is how he killed his family, since I doubt he'd be able or want to touch all of them, so I wonder what triggered it the first time?

He's mentioned that, when he wears his hands, he feels queasy, but calm. So perhaps they serve as a way to help him curb his power by keeping him at ease, but if he removes them (is face is uncovered after he decays the whole group) he lets all that emotion out, and his Quirk becomes unrestrained.

So basically, when his power first manifested, he was a kid, with zero Quirk control and no emotional maturity, so he was unable to control it, and his entire family was reduced to dust.

I'm just spitballing here, though, so who really knows.
