Shigiraki's voice rasp disappearing is SUCH a goated vocal performance.
Makes a good a time as any to bring back up that this guy is also Kimblee from FMAB.
I agree with you here my friend shigarki cold with it here have nice day❤
He's va is also Future!Trunks from Dragon Ball Z!
@@jaybird7618 Yeah, I've heard that
He’s also Sanji
I'm a little surprised they didn't talk about bro's voice getting deeper after his awakening.
Tbh most reactors don’t pick up on it from what I’ve seen
I'm pretty sure both of them have auditory processing issues so it's reasonable that they might've not noticed
The itch could be quirk related. But I also think it's fair to say he starts to itch whenever he's uncomfortable/stressed out. Because he actually makes a comment in this episode, "If anyone had reached their hand out...I wonder if the itch would've stopped." Which is basically implying that he thinks if anyone besides AFO had come to help him, he might've been able to stop the itch. Because AFO doesn't help him when he's in pain or stressed. He doesn't help him get through that. He just tells him that he shouldn't feel that way. And to basically be the worst person possible. That voice whispered in his ear for 15 years or so. Which is probably why Shigaraki makes video game references and seems pretty childish at the beginning of the story. He literally didn't have the chance to grow up.
But now he's taken his first steps to becoming his own person. He's got power, he's got influence, but most of all, he's got drip.
I've never been sure if the itching is stress related or from his quirk not being compatible with his body like you see with some other characters.
w comment
Shigaraki's psychogenic voice disorder (when you experience trauma pre-puberty it can be that your voice doesn't get deeper when you grow up) is better, and his Marie-Antoinette syndrome (early graying of the hair bc traumatic events) gets worse. His hair is now negative space, and will soon become increasingly curly and poofy.
When his voice went lower I got full chills. I immediately thought, oh there’s no stopping him. Whoof. What a moment.
@@KaempfdogGREAT piece of voice-acting that I don't know if it's the same in the sub.
8:51 I love shigaraki's voice change as his quirk fully awakens
This arc really elevated Shigaraki to one of my favorite battle shounen villains. Because if you think about it, his journey is different to most antagonists. He didn’t start out as an all-powerful tour de force, quite the contrary, he was kind of a disappointment to be honest. He was weak, whiny, clueless and a terrible leader that didn't even put up much of a fight. So instead of being op from the start, he has to earn his role as a legitimate threat and grow alongside the protagonist. So when you finally see him rise up as the leader of the Meta Liberation Army, you weirdly feel proud of him, even though he and his gang are bad news. After the world tore him down, he came out on top to return the favor.
And then season six promptly ruined him.
I'm not trying to be negative; it's just how the story and All For One brought Shigiraki's development to a screeching halt rubs me the wrong way.
Shigarki sill amzing villain to me him and FAO too have nice day ❤@@HaydrogenBomb
I don't know I thought he was still threatening from the start he almost killed Asui. He just wasn't nearly as powerful as destroying whole cities with just a touch.
Thats the reason he is top 10 for me.
@@HaydrogenBombhim in season 6 was mainly supposed to represent literal destruction. He had started to become destruction incarnate
Re-destro handing over command was a combination of him witnessing Shigaraki liberate himself from his past shackles and also having a self-realization that he is not "liberated" in the same way. Like it was said, Shigaraki tossed aside history and chose his own path, while Re-destro has only been living a path that was set for him. He didn't choose it, he was told that it was his duty since childhood, making him a slave to his lineage. To Re-destro, the one who should lead the army is someone who embodies freedom in the way the original Destro did.
Shigaraki laughing volume cover is my favorite in the whole series, it’s sooo good
Look Ma! No hands!
One thing to keep in mind about ReDestro's new personality: he's actually finally enjoying freedom. He's been confined and ordered and forced to command practically since birth. Now he's finally able to liberate himself. And given the whole philosophy he's been raised with all his life he finds that wonderful. And that's in addition to the realization Shigaraki is practically the poster child for freedom, giving their philosophy and even bigger chance than ever. Don't get me wrong, I think the change is a little much (what? In MHA? Never!) but it's a surprisingly realistic underneath that, especially for a first gasp as he struggles to find his new balance for the first time in his life.
Good analysis
Shigaraki's backstory makes me sad because deep down I think he's a good person. Like even after he killed his whole family and was basically abandoned by society, and despite AFO encouraging him, he tried his best to hold back his violent urges for a surprising amount of time. And even now, he didn't become the leader of the PLF because he's power hungry, his first thought was about providing for his friends. Like he was a very good natured person who was groomed into evil by AFO
yeah it seems he was always caring and wanted to help and look out for people
Starting from the last episode moving forward the show itself censors Shigaraki's quirk a little less than it previously did. Shigaraki's quirk as shown by the manga explodes people from the inside out and leaves them in a puddle of blood and chunks. Their blood basically shoots out of them like a waterfall. Making Shigaraki's quirk 'turn things into ash' is actually the show censoring his quirk. So even during the final sequence showing Shigaraki's origin their still censored with his family crumbling but they didn't censor the aftermath where they are in a puddle.
They censored the show because in Japan it airs at a time when children can see it so they have to censor the violence in it. For instance, in the last episode when Shigaraki and Re-Destro were fighting it showed Re-Destro 'crush Shigaraki's fingers' but in actuality, Re-Destro ripped Shigaraki's fingers off completely.
Moving forward there are a few more scenes that are still censored and it leaves continuity confusion with those watching who haven't read the manga.
Seeing both their back stories, I can't help but wonder how things would turned out had the league been successful in capturing Eri at the end of the Overhual arc. Would Shigaraki had started to soften up and become something of an anti-hero figure for her or would had nurtured her negative feelings like AFO did for him and made her an agent of chaos of some kind.
That's something I like to think about, too.
The difference is it wouldn't JUST be Shigiraki looking after Eri. The rest of the League would, too.
@@HaydrogenBombwe did a lot of speculating how that would work in the Overhaul arc. They’d have no choice to be more careful and caring than Overhaul himself because they can’t…farm her quirk like he did. Thank goodness that never happened because any semblance of rewind being close to AFO could have catastrophic consequences. He steals Eri’s quirk, and that’s a game over move.
@@Kaempfdog You still think that, even with SPOILERS
season seven.
@@HaydrogenBomb spoilers
It’s a bit more complicated than that. AFO took a rewind dose so he can’t actually control the effect beyond the initial effect. The opposite of the deleter. Rewind the body, not the quirks. If he stole rewind directly from Eri, he could rewind Deku’s mind to when he couldn’t use any quirks and lacked the same will he has today and try to steal OFA as many times as he pleases. And who knows if a stock limit would matter because I’m SURE he has quirks that boost quirk arsenals.
I agree with you here that wil be n
Sweet if he help her❤
This society is F’ed
Even in our society , without hero’s , we have the bystander effect, where everyone equally assumes someone else would help so no one does (+Cost of helping and other factors )
In this society , being altruistic is a litteraly a job you get ranked and compensated for it. There is even less insentive to help others.
It makes sense that out of all people the only person I reach out to shigiraki was the devil himself
I agree with you here shigarki cold with it here is episode amzing have nice day my friend❤
in the last episode's discussion, montana said "i dont think there was any way for him(tenko) to end up any better than he did(tomura)
but that's the most upsetting part of this whole backstory: THERE WAS
because tenko's true tragedy, tomura's true hatred towards the heroes and their system doesn't doesn't just root in the incident that came with the manifestation of his quirk
but MORE SO in the fact that every single person in that street he was walking in (the most obvious example being the granny) ignored an obviously terrified, lonely and lost child because he "looked weird" and "it wasn't their job" even tho a reaching hand was ALL it would've took for him to stay in the right path
THAT IMO IS THE MOST FCKED UP PART ABOUT HIS STORY
it will be talked about more in the next seasons so i don't need to rant on about it
but I'll just say that despite carrying the title of the villain, tomura's pov toward hero society is 100% true and justified
I agree with you here have nice day my friend ❤
Shigaraki really said, "look dad, no hands!"
The change in the way shigarakis quirk looks isn't because it's sloppier or anything the anime just censored the blood and gore until now. In the Manga it's always been blood and guts
It can be both. It may have originally been a way to censor the gore but clearly in this season it shows his decay leaving behind bloody pieces when he was younger. Just because a reason isn't what was "originally" planned doesn't really matter.
@JustNardo wtf are you talking about? Everything about his character is exactly the same as the Manga except for the way they show his quirk early on. It is very obviously for censorship reasons, that's not a theory there's literally no other reason to change that. Hell this episode is still censored. In the Manga there's no ash effect to his decay people just fall into bloody chunks
Shigaraki is one of my favourite villains in anime because I love his start small but he developed alongside the hero making the story really good and unique to other shonen
I agree with you shigarki he my favorite villain him and FAO too tho iş amzing episode have nice day❤
I love how Shigaraki's voice changes after his awakening. It's a subtle, but meaningful change to hear him speak without the rasp. I'm pretty sure you'd never notice if you're watching this subbed.
Seeing Tenko Shimura wander the streets, hoping someone would help, but nobody does, really drives home a theme that's been present and consistent throughout the series. This society is too strict. Everything is far too regulated and controlled, and people are strictly kept to their individual roles, like cogs in a machine, not people living their lives. We got our first obvious case of this when Deku and the others took down Stain, and were chastised by the police chief. It became clear at that time that this society would rather tell you to let yourself die, than step outside your approved, assigned role. So when Tenko needed help, everyone expected some hero or policeman to do it, instead of doing anything themselves.
The League of Villains have been fairly minor threats, all things considered, up until now. There have just been a few of them, and they've been repelled and fought down every time they've appeared so far. This arc catapults them into being a legitimate, major threat. Several of their members get significantly more powerful here, and Shigaraki suddenly gains command of thousands of adherents. They've gone from team rocket to possibly the most dangerous force in the world.
Shigaraki’s voice hanging mid sentence is SO GOOD. Major props to the VA for being absolutely legendary, and the writers for recognizing how much a detail like that can elevate a story
Shiguraki's quirk of decay works in the sense that all things naturally decay overtime as they become frail, worn, degraded, and so on. Machia's inherent insane amount of vitality and stamina allows him to withstand the decay because the time it would for him to actually decay naturally is so significant longer than everything else. That said there would still be a limit, we just don't know what. Likewise there is a limit to how often Shiggy can do that massive decay wave as his own arm took some recoil from doing it, similar to Deku and his 100% punch.
Its not this but to illustrate its sorta like Shiggy adds 200-300 years of wear and tear to something he touches, but Machia is good for like 1000yrs so he can withstand it for a bit without much issue. This is similar to how Re-Destro didn't instantly decay when Shiggy first touched his massive finger, same concept but to a lesser extent.
Deika city is named after D'Qar, the site of the Resistance base in Star Wars The Force Awakens.
Final batch of profiles for now! Getting some of the big ones today. (Episode analysis separate comment)
Tenko Shimura
Villain Name: Tomura Shigaraki
Quirk: Decay
Grade: A (and according to the doctor, let’s say for now.)
Class: Symbol (all 4 villain classes)
Ok. This development rate was nothing short of astonishing. His athletic abilities aside always being in league with pro heroes in various ways, his quirk has ALWAYS been on small scale. His strategies and methods were always developing as he observed how others worked and gave direction to his chaos. And here he comes into his own. Not a bully, not a brat. But a symbol. A leader. His quirk was suppressed into its smallest stages but it was still an instant death. Now? We have a super spreading quirk that VERY much so looks like it could work like a combination of Gravity Control and OFA in structure. There’s no actual signal on the body where the quirk can come from and it’s coming out of his feet earlier. Does ANY touch he activates trigger the decay? Could it be an armor? (I assume NOT purely from being far too broken but the fact they gave the attention for it not to be hand exclusive caught me.) It honestly set the stage for all contact quirks in general and is part of the reason why I give such special attention TO Uraraka’s Gravity Control AND how fast she got similar moderation levels and spread possibilities. The upgrades he awakens honestly look like they can be applied to ALL contact quirks. This and Gravity Control are DEFINITELY the biggest benefactors though. And in my quirk ranking, I have decay at #4 just under Gravity Control namely because unlike Uraraka, Shigaraki seems to have a VERY hefty recoil to the body that can’t be mitigated like hers can that is VERY close to OFA’s arm breaking blasts, OR have versatility beneficial to boost teammates abilities at the same time as messing with opponents with no drawback when used right. Like Uraraka, Shigaraki is nearly immune to bruisers. He only has to care about the moment of impact and that’s IT. (Good thing Deku has been training a style SPECIFICALLY for that with his 10% full cowling and 15% m.o.i.) Shigaraki is still weak to many elements (environment setters tend to be weak to each other) and ESPECIALLY aerial opponents. But this quirk is just tailor made FOR villains. Setting aside instant death that this quirk brings with every INSTANT, nothing is better at erasing evidence, having him vanish in his clouds of destruction for stealth, and…we’ve already seen he’s pretty good with hostage situations for exploitation. How this can be provided POWER that the doctor claims is just unfathomable. It’s without fathom. So says your quirk dad. Space dad. Something like that.
Rikiya Yotsubashi
MLA Codename: Redestro
Quirk: Stress
Grade: A
Class: Combat/Exploitation/Espionage
Alright. Anyone teen and up knows this quirk is CRAZY strong. I couldn’t fit it in the top quirks but I will say it’s the strongest quirk thats just emotional power. Easy emotion to have in abundance, massive effect on the body, and is the ONLY quirk to resist decay even a little. He’s about 30 feet tall max power size, and he’s very fast despite that. One of my favorite moves he does is when he confidently grabs Shigaraki BY HIS HANDS in such a way he can’t get all 5 fingers on him by likely squeezing his palms and 1st/2nd segments of the fingers. (You’ll find it nigh impossible to bend your fingers if done right.) That is CRAZY body control. Not to mention the controlling of each individual body part he can pick and choose where to concentrate, and at max power TURNS INTO THE HULK WITH A HAKAI THAT CAN LEVEL A CITY. This is just an insane power. I am absolutely convinced he can personally stand against the top heroes. Does he need more gear? Nope that armor does a nice stack and can get equipped with whatever. He needs better mobility and that’s IT. And he was going against Shigaraki after 2 months of straight training with Machia while he hyper focused his speed.
???
Villain Name: Dabi
Quirk: Blue Flame/Cremation take your pick
Grade: A
Class: Combat/Espionage/Exploitation
Ok this is an obvious one. Dabi’s fire moves have been a consistent point of holding back immensely powerful pros INCLUDING Endeavor himself outside the Prominence Burn in the second movie. And we see for ourselves just how high scale he gets in not just his fight with Geten but his small confrontation with Endeavor and Hawks at the beginning of the season when he goes to retrieve Hood. Giant cyclones of fire, precision shots, and pretty good at shaping fire sizes and how he casts. He has been proven to have a GREAT DEAL of respect among the other villains and gets special treatment on many occasions. He’s not a team player but also doesn’t appear to be far away from leadership roles and often gets special treatment. Also worth stating against Geten despite the fact the environment had to be FREEZING with the regulated temperatures, and his more infrequent blasts, Dabi held VERY WELL. We’ve gotten backstories on many of the league by now but not him. And the police investigating in Kamino never even got his name. And unlike Tenko Shimura and Oboro Shirakumo from Shigaraki and Kurogiri who ALSO went unnamed have now been uncovered at this time. Not Dabi. A man of many mysteries. And skin grafts. He needs durability. Armor isn’t really helpful when he can burn it off effortlessly. And maybe more tolerance training.
???
Villain Name: Geten
Quirk: Ice Ply
Grade: A
Class: Combat/Exploitation/Stealth
Ok this guy is FLYING on his ice. And can shape malleable enough structures to make slingshots. Saying nothing about his underwater filling city streets in an instant. AND his ice dragons. Skip school kids. Then you too can make dragons out of ice. If you practice for several decades without doing anything else but the POINT STANDS. His main seeing point is his shaping abilities. He’s like late game Roy Mustang swirling everything around and breaking down the most pinpoint targets. Geten is CERTAINLY powerful to go at his elemental WEAKNESS like this when he has NO longevity issues at this point. But also shows Dabi’s abilities to keep going despite his longevity issues. No signs of real downside for Geten other than inevitable field setters will always struggle to maintain against each other. He’s definitely a force.
?? Shigaraki
Villain Name: All For One
Quirk: All For One
Grade: S
Class: Symbol
Uncountable quirks collected for 200 years and there’s rarely if ever a quirk with a recoil from him. His versatility is as unlimited as Horikoshi’s imagination. Strongest quirk tied with Rewind and OFA. There’s a NUMBER of quirks in HIS hands that are immediately game ending. He is always SO CLOSE to them. He can be anything, do anything. No role can’t be filled. The ultimate villain.
Shigaraki just casually using Haki in MHA.
I think it’s fair to say that Tomura has broken free from the shackles of his past. At least, the shackles that he knew about. Needless to say, the mission to destroy the society that turned him into what he is now won’t be an easy one, but it’s fair to say that he’s lived up to a lot of his potential.
Reason why people including myself didn't like this arc in the anime version is because they rushed this arc. In the manga they took their time. They cut so much of re-destrow's backstory and many of his subordinates backstory. They all had longer screentime. Plus they skipped spinner's thoughts and flashback. They cut somenof toga's. They cut alot of things in the anime. Plus the villain arc is before Endever's training arc. Which means Endever's arc feels uneasy and stressful because we already know the villains are busted.
But in the anime, they switched up arcs for no reason other than promoting the 3rd MHA movie
BtwThe person next to Afo is the doctor who diagnosed Izuku in the first chapter.
They're aware. Kenny brought it up at the beginning of this arc.
Just going to say this right now. She's not ready for the two DD's of Season 6.
I gotta say in the beginning I get with Tomura means for civilians even though they believe and trust heroes to be there to save the day but the tough part is Not any civilian was willing to help other people when they were in pain or are loss; they forgot to mutual or casual things in life that has them help other people especially once like young Tenko even though not just because he was scary, but also because he was dangerous after what he did. Yeah people have all the help they need because of the heroes, but they’re too self important to help anyone in need even when a hero not around
In the first discussion Kenny says shigaraki left the bloody chunks cause he didnt have control of his quirk, but i didnt think that was the case. I thought his power should always be brutal and bloody, and they made it the dust effect to censor it for the anime. Also shocked kenny didnt mention the voice change when he decayed the hand
Comparing this Shigaraki to him from the first season is like night and day.
Sugar Daddy Redestro, but not with real sugar. A Splenda Daddy perhaps? Sucrose Parent?
I've always interpreted Redestro's abdication of power as a result of his freedom, or lack there of. From the short flashback we saw in this episode, it's clear that he was groomed from a young age to be the MLA's leader, regardless of what he would've done with his own life if given the opportunity to do so. He's a leader, yes, and he genuinely believes in his cause and his people, but the way I see it, handing his position to someone who embodies the MLA's values so effortlessly and naturally may feel a bit like a relief to him, like his burden has been lifted. His quirk is based on his massive amount of stress after all.
i just realised montanna is wearing the DILF shirt kenny was wearing a few episodes back
Shigaraki's voice changed because his throat and itching are linked to stress. Once, he had realized both his origin and dream fully. His stress levels degraded. Making him sound more like a logical adult, than a sickly man-child.
One of the moments in this episode is one of the reasons I love Horikoshi's writing of All For One's evil nature so much. He really is a vile character. It's not something that's even really drawn attention to beyond the subtle mention of it, and the fact that it's never really explicitly said makes it all the more disgusting to figure out.
*The extra hand.*
After Tenko killed the two men who were bullying him, All For One offers him 5 hands as a reward. 4 from the two men he killed, and an 'extra'. All For One brushes the topic aside and says it's because Tenko previously destroyed a hand that was given to him. But in reality, whose hand is that??? It's not like he could recreate the hand that was already destroyed. So it's someone else's hand. Whose?
It's Nana's. All Might's masters and Tenko's grandmother's.
All For One essentially snuck the hand of Tenko's own grandmother onto his body for him to wear every single day without ever telling him whose it was. The grandmother who was a hero he admired and that All For One murdered without ever telling him. It wasn't a present. It was a trophy for All For One. A way for him to rejoice in the torture he'd brought on Nana's family and turn her own grandson into the very weapon that would work against One For All.
Trunks went from trying to save the future, to trying to destroy it. If only he stayed cooking on the ship for the ladies.
Wont lie, the talk of liberation and freedom plus destruction of the way the world is, gives me eren and the yeagerist vibe from attack on titan
Idk what you're on about people didn't like the rest of the season and loved MVA
Did you notice that Shigaraki's voice changed? Such a great detail and Eric Vale did/does an amazing job 😄. If you want to hear more, check out Classroom of the Elite...please!!🥺❤️
im not a manga reader so i also love this arc, but tons of it was cut and it was supposed to be in a different part of the show, the reason why this season is so heavy on recaps on the first half is because they were purposely spreading less material across more episodes completely ruining this arc in terms of pacing and timing turning a 10 episode arc at least into 5
something i think ppl miss is that he wears the same shoes as deku. literally
Re destro is a leader while shigaraki is a messiah figure i’d say.
You guys should watch black clover after MHA
That'd be awesome.
Tbh i love this arc in the anime when this is the one that made me drop the manga so tastes are tastes im glad you liked it
Discussion 3/3 is exactly what they tried to show with Gentle Criminal. Good intentions can still have disastrous results with poor execution.
I just want to point out, Shig only destroyed a few blocks in this fight.
2 for one on backstory episodes! What a deal! Let’s lighten the mood by hearing Shigaraki….describe his time getting ignored by the public as a kid who DESPERATELY needed help but looked too scary for anyone to accept. Well isn’t this off to a great start. You know what we need to make it better? More Corgis. Y’know. For the soul. (Character profiles will be made as usual!)
AFO finds his apprentice, and the law of the Sith continues. There can only be two. AFO as he explains Tenko’s new life to him comes off as a tad strange. The guy has an UNCOUNTABLE amount of quirks, but the way the doctor and AFO diagnose Tenko seems…TOO much. Not to say they can’t figure it out, but AFO when he 1st met Tenko called him by NAME saying “You’ve had a hard life haven’t you, Tenko Shimura? Not to worry, I am here for you now.” Not to mention that the Doctor and AFO WITHOUT getting information from Tenko went to his home and recovered the remains of the family. By the time he met AFO, he was already trying to suppress the memories. Yet they knew EXACTLY where to look. He sends them after thugs that hurt him to master the feeling that goes with the quirk. The street thugs fall apart, (don’t think they’ll be MISSED but also YIKES.) and yet AFO comes in with 5 hands. And this “bonus” is in the EXACT SAME condition as the family and the thugs. And yet we’ve seen every victim of Tenko up until that point. And it’s getting more uncomfortable as AFO renames his student a new name. Tomura Shigaraki. His “son.” And AFO proceeds to raise him entitled without morals to instill fear and be a symbol like AFO himself.
The implications of this are HORRIFYING and AFO himself told All-Might only AFTER Shigaraki was forced to escape Kamino that he “found” Tomura and groomed him to hate All-Might so he could watch All-Might smile as he beat his master’s descendent. Things worked out far too nicely with more information falling on what does AFO know rather than Shigaraki, who clearly knows everything he needs/wants to. He has learned the ways of All For One. The ultimate goal? Make Tomura Shigaraki a Dark Empath like his master before him where they share a personality. A true successor.
And then Redestro vs Shigaraki starts RIGHT up again. Shigaraki is completely out of his cage and faces 100% Redestro. Redestro has gone from looking for a natural conclusion to their conversation, showdown, and looking for anything of worth and has now gone very animalistic in a way. He’s DESPERATE to end this. His city blasting hakai’s are fruitless to Shigaraki’s new decay which essentially negates IMPACT now if he concentrates his quirk in the right place. Now that he’s free his raspy voice is gone, his personal grudge with Redestro just seems to fall away.
Also have to bring up Machia’s arrival just tearing through the liberation, everything is heating up even FURTHER as people try to switch gears and get denied at every corner and Compress decided to call the Doctor. And when the Doctor says he won’t help, Compress tries to manipulate THIS GUY. Dude that’s an AFO chess piece! Machia is a rook this doctor is like a knight or a bishop. That WILL NOT work. XD this guy has been manipulating people WAY longer than you can imagine. Machia is showing off he’s been holding back A LOT against the league all this time to keep them alive. Spinner thinks to himself it seemed like we reached a dead end…and now- (as usual Spinner narration is manga only)
Machia is on the way? But a footnote. Geten is immediately overpowered? But a footnote. Redestro can’t even maintain his stress. HE must put Destro’s will forward at all cost. He thinks to the days of his being raised as the newest Redestro and even with a MECH to get him to 150%, (named after his Claustrophobia and fear boost) it’s all starting to recede. Something IS holding him back and weighing him down. He talks and talks about the stress of being the new Destro, but as this battle becomes less and less about Destro and the status quo and more these two just having a superpower slugfest, he feels more and more free. He loses his armor, his stress, and his legs, and here he sits before someone that is ACTUALLY liberated.
And ALL that had to be done, was Shigaraki’s hand went on the ground. And before you know it, as if there were ways for any of this to get ANY MORE chaotic, Shigaraki uses decay to the fullest. And it stops EVERYTHING. The fighting STOPS, the strategizing STOPS, it suddenly turns everyone into a fight or flight and NO ONE CHOOSES THE FORMER. The Deika City incident occurs at last. With a confirmation of about 16,000 people losing their lives to JUST this move. Redestro introduced 116,000 liberation warriors, and Hawks is investigating 100,000. ONLY stopping to not take any of the league members. It’s COMPLETELY over. Machia stands in awe of the successor. And Redestro has performed amputations just to prevent himself from being apart of the city falling.
Redestro seeing Shigaraki so nonchalant about EVERYTHING has lead him to an important conclusion. This receding of stress was because he was only fighting for himself. His life. His decisions. He wants to be liberated. And to him, he sees this as the end of his life to true liberation. But Shigaraki instead spares him. This man stands as a shining symbol. A liberated symbol for the MLA, a SPITTING IMAGE of his master seen as the successor complete with white hair and blood red eyes, and showing a horizon of destruction. Getting the MLA, Machia, the Doctor, and the League to fall in line. Redestro gets to live his life pursuing Destro’s will, but gives up the burden and the power that comes with it. Liberation should be lead by the liberated.
There is NOTHING here any of the villains do not want for their grander goals and purposes. The former MLA uses the incident to guide people en masse to their cause and give more weight to the conversation. (The 20 martyrs turned into the fake villain group is fake. But it’s cool to see that 2 of them were at the USJ incident) The league has escaped their squalor and lack of backup for the ULTIMATE backup. And Shigaraki makes MASSIVE headway in the path of his master. And even with promise and aspiration to grow even further.
Ultimately as I scrounged through panel after panel of this arc, I gotta say that I COMPLETELY understand people’s misgivings with this arc. The censorship was unavoidable and they let loose where they could. Spinner getting slightly cut down in role was remedied later. And Redestro is one of THE most expressive villains and we didn’t get MUCH of that til the end. (Still A LOT.) I stand by what I said before. The arc switch is a neutral decision. The forefront of the investigation into this Deika incident allowed a pretty neat scooby doo structure where it gave perfectly good reason for the 3 major suspects of Deika to be explored. The incident showed Shigaraki stand at the bottom of the crater at the beginning, but then introduced Twice and his infinite copies which could duplicate Shigaraki for an effect like this with the original standing tall, Machia crushing the MLA but losing to Shigaraki EXACTLY as he planned, or Shigaraki going unshackled. From the perspective of the heroes, this confirmation was a WORST case scenario because although the other suspects didn’t destroy Deika as much, it didn’t take away ANY of their improvements and gave a MASSIVE one to the big boss. They didn’t stop the league when they had the chance in season 1, and now? Their elusiveness has arrived in full force. They got the power they sought. To shake the country to its core.
Is no one gonna mention the amazing DILF shirt
Completely off topic, but has anyone noticed how much Montana looks like the actress who plays Galadriel in Rings of Power? It's uncanny
"No, no. He's got a point."
Sadly this arc is full of a lot of censorship so things like shigaraki decaying stuff is very limited and the Injuries on Redestro as well, but it’s still a good watch
first of all im like a hardcore tomura glazer the part where he just stood in the ruins of a destroyed city, machia seeing him worthy to success afo, a whole army spurred on by the other dudes stirr up hysteria quirk still wouldn’t dare try to touch him because now he really is the symbol of fear. ik its supposed to be villainous but i ngl fw his “no future” destroy it all thing not even in a nihilist way just..
and its true this arc was way better in the manga but i still like it here (the villains r my fav if it wasn’t obvious) like in the manga it was way cuter like he had the little lightbulb over his head when he recalled the league and asked if redestro could buy sushi
all parts of shigaraki’s backstory fill me with dread but once afo gets him its a new type of uncomfortable. the whole “master” thing, his position while watching this little child cry and writhe on the floor, body language, everything. so creepy. shigaraki a victim ong. all those hands positioned on him 🤢🤢 during kamino and even after this afo always smiles on as tomura is in pain on the floor. as he said “groomed him”..preying on him before he was born just to become a vessel. how tired and traumatized he looked and he was just a BABY.. idc if ppl get mad at me for ts ill always find it predatory in every sense of the word
i know this is a reaction series to a show not meant to hyper-analyze that character but i wonder if montana felt the same vibes
The Best episodio ❤❤❤❤❤

No one ever brings up the voice change or the strait up white hair
Day 3 of asking to watch silent voice movie.

Shigaraki really peaked here, unfortunately.

genuine question: how does shigaraki put on his clothes? considering when he touches anything it decay.. how does he wear his shirt
before he just didn't use all 5 fingers but now he has a pretty good amount of control
He just doesn't decay stuff if he doesn't want to decay stuff, so he only decays things if he wants to
i can imagine shiggy going "aight im gonna wear my favorite shirt" before he got that good at his quirk, accidentally touching all 5 fingers on the shirt and panicking that its decaying
I wasn't a fan of this arc when I read the manga. It felt too long. I think the anime did a better job of condensing everything so it doesn't drag out.
