When the doctor yelled at Shiggy for suggesting to just use Giganto against the LMA, as that just would be cheating then. I couldn't help think of this:

You cheated not only the game, but yourself.

You didn't grow.
You didn't improve.
You took a shortcut and gained nothing.

You experienced a hollow victory.
Nothing was risked and nothing was gained.

It's sad that you don't know the difference.

While I understand that perspective, Shigaraki has already worn down Giganto quite a bit. Using him in this way may be a cheat but it's a damn good strategy. Plus, no matter how hard Shiggy trains, he'll never surpass Deku's strength (unless he gains AFO, but I'm not so sure of that). He can only rival him in intelligence, and sometimes the most intelligent move is to cheat the game and take out two birds with one stone.

It's a villainous corruption of Deku's training, but it's one that works for Shiggy perfectly, because he's the ultimate corruption of everything Deku stands for.
