This would cause most villains or heroes to retreat, but this strength only entices Shigaraki.

Re-Destro’s Quirk continues to expand on itself in dangerous ways until he amasses a natural set of armor and accesses 150% of his power. There are some very grand visuals as these two juggernauts take swipes at each other. In “Tomura Shigaraki: Origin” when Shigaraki consciously decides to destroy his father’s hand it’s because he proves to himself that not only is his future unnecessary, but so is his past, and all that matters is his white-hot hatred in this exact moment. Shigaraki has spent his life lost somewhere in subconscious ambivalence where he hasn’t allowed his Decay Quirk to hit his apex and for his mind to abandon the past. Every element of Shigaraki’s creepy villain persona has actually been meticulously cultivated by All For One to not just be intimidating to the public, but to repress Shigaraki’s ability to resist his fate as the Symbol of Fear.

All For One curates which hands adorn Shigaraki, specifically because they trigger different emotions in him. The moment where All For One gives Tenko his new name as “Tomura Shigaraki” is like when a cult leader dehumanizes their subjects.Īll For One recognizes the pure ruin that Tenko is capable of and he carefully finds subtle ways to activate the child’s pain and push him further towards villainy. He has no chance at escaping this fate and it’s devastating to see just how early Shigaraki has been All For One’s pawn. They’re grisly deaths are inevitable, but what’s even more uncomfortable than their deaths is how All For One fosters trust in Tenko and teaches him that this retaliatory behavior is his duty. Tenko is presented with a clear obstacle, but because this is a look into his development as a villain it’s immediately clear that the bullies are going to be murdered at some point. My Hero Academia achieves a very chilling atmosphere that’s reflective of the unnerving relationship between Hannibal Lecter and Will Graham. That’s not to say that Tenko’s glee over his gruesome destructive powers isn’t genuine, but he also acknowledges that if someone else had taken him under his wing instead of All For One then these impulses very well might have been quelled in favor of a more productive direction in life. All For One takes advantage of Tenko’s vulnerable nature, repurposes his pain, and gives him meaning.

This backstory is so moving and provides crucial context to Shigaraki that it would have been interesting to see how My Hero Academiawould have functioned if it actually featured these events throughout the series alongside Deku’s accomplishments.Ī negative influence can be an incredibly dangerous thing, especially to a child who’s lost his entire family.

All Might’s protégé is trained to become an inspirational figure through the Number One Pro Hero’s teachings, yet each of All For One’s lessons to Tenko infect his mind and make him more susceptible to chaos. Shigaraki’s unflinching origins create further parallels to Deku’s journey, only at opposite extremes. Both of these episodes hinge on Tenko Decaying individuals, but this time around it’s an active choice that he takes ownership over as he embraces his purpose in life.

However, “Tomura Shigaraki: Origin” hits equal levels of nihilism as it looks at the character’s official start as a villain now that he’s been removed from his roots as an innocent child. My Hero Academia’s previous “Tenko Shimura: Origin” told one of the series’ darkest stories that already casts the series’ major villain in a new light.
