My Hero Academia's villainous arc continues in the latest chapter of the manga, and while series creator Kohei Horikoshi teased that Midoriya and Class 1-A will be making their return soon, fans have grown to love the darkest arc of the series to date. With Shigaraki and the League of Villains being challenged by the Meta Liberation Army, they have been pushed harder than ever before that  resulted in some interesting changes for Shigaraki, especially.

The latest chapter of the series has shown a whole new side of Shigaraki as he has reached new levels of his mind, and this has resulted in some surprising jabs at his own past as he's now above the man he used to be. That's why he can bring up All Might so jokingly despite how much the hero angered him before.

As the fight with Re-Destro of the Meta Liberation Army gets fiercer by the second in Chapter 238, Re-Destro is running out of options as Shigaraki stops fearing him. He soon surprising mecha suit of armor, and Re-Destro claims that with this armor his stress induced power is now at 150% percent. 

This is an obvious reference to All Might's famous catchphrase, but Shigaraki's newly clarified state puts another meaning on it. Shigaraki has essentially gone "Plus Ultra" in this fight as the fighting has reminded him of his tragic past.
