When Shigaraki Tomura touched Star and Stripe in the previous episode, he managed to steal her quirk and use his quirk Decay on her. With that, it seemed like Shigaraki had managed to kill Star and Stripe and attain her quirk New Order. While Shigaraki was successful in killing America's No. 1 Hero, he could not steal her quirk as Star had set a new rule due to which New Order opposed other quirks.

This rule saw the New Order acting up inside Shigaraki, destroying other quirk vestiges that approached her, causing the former to suffer and also pushing back his deadline by quite some time. Hence, as evident from the preview, My Hero Academia season 7 episode 3 is set to also focus on Shigaraki's suffering.
