The only reason why he was able to fight Shiggy at the hospital location was because Shiggy was in a state of confusion, AFO was giving him pressure to chase after OFA. Afterwards, Endeavor could only land hits when someone else was distracting Shiggy for him.
This is partially true.
Shiggy being in a “state of confusion” which made him perform poorly initially is complete headcanon and suggested nowhere in the series.
Endeavor concluded that Shigaraki’s initial showcases of strength at the beginning of the fight were indicative of him being relative to All Might if they were the result of natural strength and not quirks.
This means Shigaraki was performing at a level comparable to All Might regardless of if you think he was confused or not.
After the initial sequence the fight was very, very short.
Endeavor managed to graze him with a mixture of fire attacks, but as we’ve all said, weakened All Might is superior to endeavor. It’s hard for him to tag All Might, but as have been referenced in the story time and time again, All Might is a knucklehead who charges head first into battle.
Tomura was fighting in a defense way, trying to get Deku and run away. All might won’t do that against Endeavor.
The nomu chain scaling has been discussed in the MHA general discussion forum to be quite untrustworthy, or else some of the MHA mid-tier characters would be WAM level, and that shouldn't be, the bare minimum to be WAM level in MHA is top-tier level. Moreover, the citizens of Japan were more assured that All Might would've been able to handle the situation better, which is a clear indication of superiority.
Is there a crt for this or what?
Even outside of the Garaki statement, we have legitimate feats of the Nomu’s performing on similar level to Shigaraki, who is stated WAM level. HEN are WAM level, end of story.
For starters, this is Hell’s curtain which is just a large blanket of fire, not an attack like flashfire fist which is more force based.
Secondly, this is the scene of Endeavor clashing with air canon.
This shit ain’t happen in the manga gng.
“Shiggy wasn’t trying” him mocking endeavor isn’t proof of him holding back. That’s idiotic.
Endeavor got slammed by an All Might level fighter and immediately got back into action. This doesn’t prove what you think it does.
I like how you have noticed that Endeavor only performed well INITIALLY.
Look at the reply preceeding yours, I have explained why he performed well initially. That won't be a problem for All Might, unless Endeavor tries using the "trash talking" route, whch may not even work because All Might knows he's not really serious about it.
I believe Endeavor was just getting weaker and weaker throughout the fight. Big attacks take a lot out of him, this is stated and shown. It doesn’t help that he was using flashfire to chase down Shigaraki throughout the city.
Endeavor isn't going to get one shotted, yes, but All Might can knock him down like Shiggy did, and he literally got paralyzed for some seconds (also linked in preceeding comment) and can also knock him out (one Missouri Smash is all it takes, it's a smash in the form of a neck chop).
Endeavor wasn’t “paralyzed” he was recoiling from pain. Even All Might reacts to being punched by a Nomu. Even Shigaraki reacts to being punched by Endeavor.
Endeavor tanked an air canon to the face from Shigaraki, enduring being slammed into the ground, got kicked twice, and got back up.
All Might isn’t knocking him out.
Yes, All Might's face will get melted when Endeavor lands his attacks, but the thing is, how's he landing it on someone like All Might if All Might doesn't allow him??
Because All Might’s a knuckle head.
It’s in character, and shown, that he literally just charges in without a care in the world.
If Endeavor fires off a prominence burn off right I deadass believe All Might would try to California smash ts just to get vaporized.
