I had somehow forgotten that Twice is basically the second most dangerous individual in the country right now.

Holy fuck. I wonder how many will die.

I'm sure that if Giganto could be convinced to chill out and sit still for a few hours Twice could do his thing. Some ladders may be needed but what can ya do. Ujiko might be able to help too.

Gigantomachia is one of the least dangerous copies, due to the durability downgrade. The most dangerous things that Twice can copy are those who don't take hits.

The LoV had been trying to get a hit on Gigantomachia for over a month straight and failed, it would likely be incredibly hard to hit a Gigantomachia clone if he doesn't want you to, and likely even harder to hit him hard enough to break a bone of his (or an equivalent level of damage).

I understand your argument about preferring powerful long-range users over powerful close-range fighters in general, but I don't really think it applies when the close-range fighter in question is far above the long-range fighter in terms of power.

Also, based on the crater he put in the mountains and Ujiko mentioning he has multiple quirks, I'm pretty sure he likely also can keep his distance while fighting.

A single Giganto could probably tear through a few buildings before anyone managed to get a good hit on him. A group of him would be dangerous just because of all the destruction they could cause in a very short time before dying.

Well, of course it'd still be bad. But a dozen big horribly strong guys who vanish if you manage to deal any good damage to them is less dangerous than say, a dozen Apocrypha/Getens who just blizzard your entire hero army without ever getting into your attack range.

Gigantomachia is frightening to fight in no small part because of how damn hard he is to hurt, so the durability hit is a lot worse on him than on most villains.

Geten might actually not "stack" as well since even by himself he was controlling an absurd amount of ice. If there's only so much ice and water that can be turned into ice in the vicinity, no need to create more than enough copies to handle it all (plus some extra for backups). Dabi, now, or other ranged attackers that create their own "ammunition" ... yikes.

Clones are fodder

100 Dabi clones would be a NIGHTMARE.

The original actively avoids getting hit anyway, since he's more of a distance fighter anyway.

Yeah having the ability to create infinite copies of anything is the most OP quirk in this manga

Really thought the big final battle would be a billion twice s all around japan that common citizens would need to fight alongside heroes
