I was watching a video of a Youtuber who covers My Hero Academia, and he made
it sound like there is a relation between the amount of hands Shigaraki has
attached to his body, and how much of his potential power he can release.

> manga, #chapter 238 apparently

Is there a relation between Shigaraki's power and how many hands does it have
in his body?

Is there a relation between Shigaraki's power and how many hands does it have in his body?


In **Chapter 222** , it was mentioned that these hands somehow help Tomura
Shigaraki calm down aside from making him nauseous. _If I recall correctly,
this was the only function it had and serve no other purpose to Shigaraki or
his power_.

Some of these
[hands](https://bokunoheroacademia.fandom.com/wiki/Tomura_Shigaraki) are
recovered from Tomura's family when he accidentally killed them. The other
hands from two unnamed street punks.

No there is no relation from the amount of hands on the body to how powerful
Shigaraki is. In the manga:

There isn't. The reason he wears his the hands of his family and his first two
victims is because of All For One. All For One wants to remind Shigaraki the
power of his own bloodlust.
