😓
I am so sorry
Man put in full stocks and gotten nothing. Sorry mate.
Shiggy will always have played the role of big bad better than Dad-Fraud-Mid
Edit: Spoiler Warning for Chapter 423
RIP Shiggy you will be missed and we speak for everyone when we say that you should have won
@@hellboundchaoscommand7567 MHA Chapter 423 Spoilers
Could you edit your comment to have a spoiler warning like this one?
But, yeah, he will be missed (and remembered as a failure, unfortunately -Thanks, Horikoshi-).
Tomura will always be infinitely more interesting than AFO to me. We've seen him develop. His character is the literal failure of hero society. Leaving an abandoned child until the worst person imaginable picked him up. Such a compelling story. And then Mr. Potato head decided to backseat game and it's so much less interesting
Personally Shigaraki is kinda why Horokoshi admits in the manga that Mahito of Jujutsu Kaisen is his favorite character. And honestly Mahito is like Shigaraki 2.0 and in my eyes does a much better job of being a wonderfully despicable character and Villain, though their perspectives are much different from each other, that being Shigaraki being the result of an over saturated hero society, while Mahito is a cursed spirit born from being the “spirit of Humanity” Mahito and Yuji Itadori felt like a greater version of Deku Vs Shigaraki even though their encounters amounted to two.
@@toadlord8594 Well, Deku and Tomura have only four encounters throughout the story, so there it is no big difference.
@@toadlord8594 Not really. Mahito was literally born evil. He is evil for the sake of being evil.
@@toadlord8594 nah the real reason is that horikoshi loves hands that’s why he loves mahito. At their core mahito and shigaraki are completely different, mahito is naturally evil
Dont forget his story and his family...
Shigaraki was so close to become truly free, it's targic and sad. He created his ideology, found out friends who could belive in him and had an army of his own...The only thing left was for him to get rid of AFO. I think that Shigaraki's ultimate failure is to not have recognized AFO for the piece of shit that he is. Shigaraki loved AFO as a mentor, he was greatful for what he did to him but never realised the true intentions of the man. It really breaks my heart.
He back now.
he heard ur calls. He was just waiting patiently like his mentor.
Lol he pulled a Eren in the recent ch
Well he just returned stating that he already knew from the beginning that All For One was trying to manipulate him, so he was directing his hatred towards him the whole time and was waiting quietly to take back his body.
It’s interesting to note that as the final arc progresses and All for One’s plans fall apart, he starts acting like the psychopathic manchild that Tomura acted liked towards the beginning
While Tomura progresses, All for One regresses
It would be interesting to make a video comparing Tomura and AFO now that we know AFO's backstory.
Horikoshi writing out a well written Developed Antagonist that Parallels the main Character in their Struggles and Achievements where there set to have a battle of Ideologies by the end of the series
Also Horikoshi:”Oh I don’t think so” makes 100 year old potato man the main Villain
At least Endeavor hasn’t been ruined and the series is still Popular
With everything that’s been happening, it’s still popular but man a lot of people are not happy with the direction and execution this series took.
@@jeffreyali1456 MHA will probably never cease to be popular. Demon Slayer as an example has terrible narrative decisions all over but it's still popular. As a fan of MHA, I have to admir Horikoshi's writting always had problems and it was never great, BUT, he kinda managed to always hide the faults with some interesging characters, dynamics and good conflicts, but either by his own desire to finish the series or maybe editor/publisher pressure he seems to be rushing everything, and for a story who never went to acrually tackle deeply the themes and problems it presented, having to make everything wrap up quickly really hurts it
I mean, this should be the story of Deku becoming the greatest hero but they're about to defeat the biggest bad villain in the world in his first year of hero school... It's hard to not be at least worried or disatisfied with the direction it has taken
@@vcamv2354 that’s the thing, for MHA, I mostly see it as average, but I always thought there was so much more they could do, MVA and war arcs were great and I was actually interested. Then the final act came along and besides a few things, it just ruined so much for me that I dropped the series. Popular or not, this was disappointing to see. Looking back, I do mostly blame the higher ups at jump, the bad editors and the toxic fanbase for twisting his arm so much
@@vcamv2354 see that’s why I believe that Deku will be quirkless again when the series is said and done. OFA was specifically made to defeat AFO, so to break the cycle both quirks got to disappear, and Deku would’ve become the hero he wanted to be, “self sacrifice is the mark of a hero,” leaving the rest to his friends and allies. All might showed that society can’t just rely on one symbol, everyone gotta do their part.
@@jeffreyali1456 At least it's not ...whatever happened to Tokyo Revengers. The final chapter is this week and oh my god i am not crying i am laughing, in a bad way.
*It's the Promised Neverland season 2 but in manga form.
Wow Shigaraki is such an amazing villain. Surely he will go on to develop his character even further and most definitely wouldn't do something like lose all of his autonomy
Surely he won’t get shafted like Madara got shafted
i hope he lost his autonomy to later flight afo for it. like realize that afo was also hurting and stoping him from his goal and rejected afo and shigaraks upbringing
If Shiggy killed AFO after the war arc taking place in the current season then the Post Time skip Arc would have been a lot more interesting
@@bottombarrelbudgetfilms1854 Yeah, however he would have just destroyed everything as soon as he could resulting in a fast end. However I too hope that he regains control
@@amuroray9115 lmao yeah i love madara and shiggy. were one had character development which imo is peak fiction and the other peak foreshadowing both had dog shit endings
AFO's body hijacking completely kills Shiggy's momentum to become one of the most iconic anime villain in the current generation. There's nothing more damaging to a character than losing his own agency
Well I’m assuming they want to have a sort of redemption type thing for Tomero or at the very least, I don’t think they want to kill him. And if he like genuinely tried to destroy the whole world like it would be pretty dumb if he just went “you know what I’m good.”
He back now.
I know I’m saying this retroactively, but I never understood how people were so quick to believe that Shiggy ACTUALLY lost his agency when it felt pretty clear that he was just being set up to usurped AfO and reclaim his body in an act of rebellion.
He took control back but is true to himself wanting to stay as a villain knowing at first he was being Manipulated but planed to take back his body and destroy anything that had to deal with the house if you know his backstory
I really liked how unlike many other shows the big bad wasn't a threatening force that has the rest of the story all planned out. It's just a dude that has no idea what he's doing, with no actual goal in mind. Then he slowly rises up through developing, training, and introspection as the show progresses to become a powerful antagonist the same way the protagonist usually has to rise up to become a hero.
All for one even touched on this when he says Shigaraki will become much more powerful with himself out of the picture, which is very similar to many heroes losing their mentors in most stories.
@SleepyWolf I have no idea why he'd build up a guy for the entire series only to replace him with a character that seemed content with him carrying on his legacy.
@SleepyWolf What dialogue shuts it down exactly?
@SleepyWolf Not really. The story goes out of its way to characterise AFO as All Mights opposite, he's selfish, narcissistic and controlling. Everything we know about AFO as a person makes the whole passing on the torch bs, just because all might chose an actual successor doesn't mean AFO would. The problem is you are getting hung up on the successor thing and ignoring what we now know which changes the context of what he has said in the past. The tomura quirk line is him noting that the quirk isn't going to suit shigaraki because he's planning on possessing his body. The lines purpose is to just to highlight the idea that AFO is a guy that considers how compatible a quirk is when deciding whether or not to take it.
If you don't like AFO taking over shiggy fine but if you honestly think that it makes no sense then you no very little about AFO as a character and have barely paid attention to the story.
The one thing I ask for the end of MHA is for society to grow out of their bystander effect, ending the series with someone helping a lost child in the streets would be amazing
isn't that what heros are supposed to do amyway? help people. we see instances where deku has helped a kid numerous times.
i get your point but to me the ideal ending is deku changing how the hero society works and saving tomura. then as a result becoming #1 and preventing someone like tomura getting into bad hands.
we have to keep in mind. that this is all dekus story on how he became #1,since we know that title is primarily based on popularity i assume deku does something no one would exspect,such as saving the broken kid who he feels needs saving,and thus becoming #1 and making a promise to tomura to change the system and prevent another kid from becoming him
Don't hold your breath mate. We all know nothing will change Deku will be the 'greatest hero' , safety commission will still exist , UA will continue will their child endangering bullshit. It will be a Kishimoto ending.
@@aceknight6622 nah. Save the villian happy ending completely ignoring societies problems like we have been doing entire manga. Another Naruto if you will.
@@berilsevvalbekret772 i literally said afterwards that deku changes and fixes society
@@berilsevvalbekret772 you realize UA kids know the risk right? its hero work YES they could die
Just.... the fact that this is a VILLAIN who grows stronger and changes not only in things like power level and surface level tactics, but as a character and person.... that's brilliant and scary. He comes into his own as a villain much as Deku is coming into his own as a hero. He is a magnificent case of villains being a dark mirror to the protagonist.
Horikoshi: "B--B-But you know who's a better final antagonist? All for One."
@SleepyWolf All
What drugs was Horokoshi and the writing crew on to make that decision?
AfoShigaraki is a new different entity
Makes sense when you think about afo goal, but shigaraki is still there he's just in a state of split being aka tomurafo, we've seen tenko leaking out tho
Everyone knows Shiggy is going to be the final villain that’s obviously
would be a shame if he got replaced by the old final boss that was defeated, in being symbolic that the old generation has passed onto the new generation, which also ties into the generational battle of One for All and All For One. Would be a shame…right?
EDIT: yes i’m still salty 😂 after watching the episode where Shiggy literally tells AFO to shut up, decays his influence from within the comparing it to where we’re at in the manga; it’s heartbreaking 😭
Shame indeed
Couldn't imagine
@@Lumistrocity AfoShigaraki is a new entity tho
@@steph03tyna72 not really, it's just AFO talking through Shigaraki most of the time
@@radioraheem9820 its even worse, the only non-merged part is Tenko, a literal child. Meaning the character of Shifi is gone for good and only AFO and the Talk no Jutzu Child Bait exist anymore
I am mostly an MHA Manga channel, but this is a video suitable for MHA anime onlys. I would however advise you to not scroll beyond this comment! Scroll back up and enjoy Shigaraki from My Hero Academia :)
hey, check out seven deadly sins or assassination classroom, I think their characters are pretty fascinating and assassination classroom is super underrated.
@@Tone_Of_Dials he's talking about the stereotypical, archetypal hero/villain, but even if that wasn't the case, most comic book heroes are simple, and that's okay.
@@Tone_Of_Dials but alot are also simple.
@@Tone_Of_Dials but I have tho.
you're making a video about an anime. of heroes literally in costume. (*ps you don't need an outfit to save people if its not hero gear that does its unintended fair and takes away from being a true hero) and you call shig nerdy when describing his bad traits xd him being nerdy was the only redeemable one till he switched hill to badass
I'm not watching the full video, Asa. Thinking about Shigaraki makes me sad and even cry. I will leave the like just because i enjoy your content.
Just keep it playing in the background so he keeps the view
He back now.
MHA is FAR from being a perfect manga, but it still managed to create a perfect villain. I might be biased because Shigaraki is one of my favorite characters from modern shonen, but I do seriously believe he's (or was?) one of the most compelling villains we've seen come out of the shonen demographic in recent years: the themes surrounding him, his characterization, his journey and development as a character, all the parallels he shared with the main protagonist and most of the important cast... It was all just so good, until it wasn't. It's just so painful to see his character be reduced to what he is now. Truly sad. All the wasted potential makes me kinda angry.
Curious on your thoughts now considering how the manga is turning out
Correction, he “was” an incredible antagonist. It’s infuriating how they screwed his character up so much like that.
they haven't screwed up his character really, just put him to the sidelines for afo even though shigaraki is supposed to be the main antagonist... It's really frustrating, but it doesn't feel like they've ruined his character to me, at least yet
@@tender6440 maybe not completely but it’s definitely screwed in some way thanks to AFO and now we have some identity crisis with Tenko and it’s just adds more questions than answers
@@jeffreyali1456 the story is unfinished. Shig will inevitably break away from AfO
@@curseesruc even unfinished it’s still very irritating to see this happen in the first place and even if he does, he’s not gonna be the true villain for very long. He’s gonna be beaten by Deku soon after.
@@jeffreyali1456Exactly. We’re at the climax. At best, Shigaraki regains control over his body and pushes AFO out, and then gets defeated in a couple of chapters. At worst, he realizes that heroes are actually good people when Deku succeeds in saving him from AFO after everything that he’s done, and then Shigaraki just stops being evil on the spot.
The sad part is that I can genuinely see this series going either way and I know I’ll be disappointed no matter which way it chooses.
Crazy how all of this is being broken down by Mr Potato Head
I’m still hoping Shiggy regains control, cause it seems like a trend that characters are actually trying to shake AFO’s control over them.
Aoyama, Kurogiri, Endeavor, etc
Yeah people seem really certain that Shigaraki is effectively dead. It’s not unreasonable but it’s also not exactly a sure thing since we’re still figuring out this whole quirk will thing
Honestly I could see AFO being killed by Shigaraki only for Tomura to still want OFA as a side affect of AFO dying
@@kaih_the_viewer I think he shouldnt want OFA. Shigaraki made clear that OFA will stand in the way of his dreams in the war arc. It would be way more interesting if he simply tries to kill Deku, that would not only fit his character but would also possibly change the tide of the fight since there is no AFO holding him back from using lethal attacks on deku.
He just did.
So Shigaraki's Ideology is: a society that can create me doesn't deserve to exist
Yet fanboys think is deep.
I mean, it is an interesting ideology. Ignoring how AFO butchered his whole character, he does present a point even if he's ultimately wrong.@@motor4X4kombat
@@ignotuscapillary8313 i mean in a most realistic version of joaquin phoenix joker a smarter joker like heath leadger would use him to make awfull pranks agaist society by putting all the blame on him. Because similar to shigaraki i can't see joaquin phoenix becoming an independent villain like heath leadger or all for one, even if he was a more relatable backstory.
Sympathetic villain don't work as main treat if you don't make them smarter than the hero. I mean look at characters like killmonger from black panther, or koba from planet of the apes, hell even doflamingo from one piece, they all have tragic backstory but they still stand by their own. Shigaraki can't. Even in season 1 was a man child that was backstage by better villains kike stain or overhaul and even dabi.
This was a fantastic explanation holy shit- there's a lot to unpack in this and honestly, I agree, Shigaraki's development was pretty great
Until I watched this video I didn't understand his charakter, I always saw him as a manchild who believes that Just becouse he had it rough he deserved the world but After this video I understand alot better and Can see why People like him. I still don't like him enough to consider "the villain" of animeverses but if I had to put him in the tier list I would put him close to mahito(my personal topper in three Best written villains shigaraki would be either 3 or 2 close but Just not enough to top him).
"Who knows what is next for this symbol"
Damn, what a bold move from Hori to end the series on Shigaraki taunting Endeavor while literally standing on top of him. No conclusive answer, just a question: "what's next?". And the answer is up to us. What a beautiful way to end this story.
Shigaraki: _Is an incredible antagonist that symbolizes the tragic truth of a world of heroes and perfectly parallels Midoriya, the protagonist, and can potentially lead to one of the best "pure-good vs pure-evil" conflicts in modern Shounen._
AFO: _*sends Shigaraki to the back seat so he has virtually no individual presence in the final arc all so he can become a "demon king" because he read it in a comic book one time and reduces Shigaraki to a foil character for Midoriya since instead of a 'villain', Midoriya sees Shigaraki as a 'victim'_
AFO literally assassinated Shigaraki's potential to become one of the best antagonists in modern shounen for an incredibly dumb reason that he's not even good at executing. I could actually go into a rant on how dumb AFO is. I liked him in the beginning, and he was honestly a pretty intimidating figure that could've made for an excellent main antagonist. But you can't make him disappear for 200+ chapters, give Shigaraki some of the best in-depth character development, and raise the bar so high, only for AFO to usurp it all and then spend his time as the "true antagonist" planning on how to stress out a 16-year-old inside a cave.
I don't blame Horikoshi, I blame his editor. Apparently, he's had quite a few, but his second editor, allowed him to have quite a lot of creative freedom which led to him really stretching out his creative process and giving us the best arcs of MHA. But apparently, while popular in the West, they weren't so popular in the East, even a bit controversial. His awesome editor got replaced halfway through the War arc with a very infamous editor who is basically responsible for 3 promising shounen series' being axed. Horikoshi also seems a little burned out a sprinting to the finish, but I believe the controversy from his publisher and the eastern audience, his strict and infamous editor, wasn't really helping either.
In one of the chapters in the final arc, a one-note side character even says that all of these "it was all part of AFO's plan" 'plot twists' were really stupid, inconsistent, and repetitive. Writing a side character that calls your entire story you've spent years creating "stupid"? If that isn't a cry for help from the author, I don't know what is.
Honestly I'm just happy you dont blame him for everything. He may fumbled up admittedly, but I feel like it wasn't really his fault for the most part
@@naganut9718 he still hold responsability for his story, the few greats out there got there by going against the grain, even in the hellhole of Japans wprk and production culture, but this thing got so twisted around, i knew it was a burnout and editir problem as well llloooonnnggg before people started saying it. Hes only human
@@dflaming1371 obviously
This entire video captures what exactly was so appealing about Shiggy to me
It really hurts my heart how all this genuinely excellent writing and character got thrown away
Atleast he's back now.
*Used to be an incredible antagonist
I remember back when many people thought he was a terrible villain and now he’s a powerful and very well developed one.
I always though of him llike that After this video I Can understand him alot better.
not really. He wants to destoy everything because no one helped him as a kid....Its litterally like every other villian in anime hes not new.
What I really like about him is that he started off as a literal nobody-villain to a mastermind that leads 110k worth of army. I enjoyed watching Shigaraki grow into the ultimate villain like I did with Deku growing into the ultimate hero.
Until Mr. Potato ruined whatever character development he had.
@@YupaLovesGlizzytell me you didnt watch MHA without telling me you didn't watch MHA. And I'm not even the biggest fan of the series
People underrate shigaraki so much because of his first season self, but hes one of the best antagonist in anime
After the PLW we should've time-skipped to the 2nd year of school, or have a "rest period" were Shigaraki, now with a will of his own would gather more resources, mourn the death of Twice, really organize himself, while the students kept improving, constantly afraid of the next attack and Japan prepared for a war. Use this time to introduce Stars and Stripes, and even other unexplored sub-plots and then finish with the all-out attack of Heroes VS Villains, no AFO. It really pains me to see that "the story of how Deku became the number 1 hero" basically ends in his first year of school. Like... Those kids are in the first year, and the biggest bad on the world is already going to be defeated... Gosh.
I hate how Shigaraki was thrown away for AFO to take the stage, RIGHT when he started actually developing
To be fair, Naruto didn't become the hokage until he was around 25-26. And when he was a teenager he had already fought in the the 4th great ninja war, defeated pain, defeated kaguya, and defeated Sasuke.
@@Knick3607 But we saw him as a child, THEN as an adolescent. We still had some years were he became stronger to actually tackle thr 4th ninja war and stuff. With Deku, it's kinda... Weird that everything is happening in 1 single year like that. And it'll be pretty disappointing cause, if he didn't became number 1 defeating AFO, the biggest evil of all, then... What did made him become so popular?
@@Knick3607 yea but naruto wasnt written well either lolz
Could we have kept Tartarus Escapees though? Seeing Vigilante Deku, Lady Nagant, Stain, and Deku vs Class 1-A were still really good IMO.
@@vcamv2354 it was defeating Shigaraki/AFO what do you mean ? Why wouldnt the people know ?
After 423
I luv when the main villain died when he and the hero fistbump each other
So glad I found your channel after that MHA world building video. Your videos are absolutely amazing.
Also I wish Shigaraki was the center villian the entire time like he'll probably be by the end by act 3 Shiggys AFO is so aggressively uninteresting.
My favourite character since season 4
3:14 - 3:15 was pure genius on the editing part
Great character analysis video. I love how Shigaraki transition into a serious threat was implemented.
"Tomura Shigaraki Is An INCREDIBLE Antagonist."? More like "was". HAHAHAha..ha...a. (Damn you Hori, why did you bring in the Potato man)
He was the GOAT, Hori. THE GOATTTTTT
I didn’t even realize the parallels between overhaul and redestro. Shigaraki fights a guy that uses strength percentages and a deku fighting a guy who can destroy things with his hands. Wow. Kudos to you for catching that, I never even realized. Cheers.
A neat detail i noticed is that despite all might saying that a hero should smile no matter the situation, during the war arc in the battle of shiharaki against all the heroes, shigaraki is the only one smiling
This was a really good analysis! Thank you for making it!
horikoshi: "Yeah so I'm gonna masterfully build up this amazing villain from the start of the series and you get to see him develop and forge his own identity and I spent an entire arc on him."
Also horikoshi: "Anyways I'm gonna replace him with a potato head past his prime and throw away all that build up if you don't mind..."
People hate AFO because he did something that a villain would. Heck, people were complaining that Deku shouldn't have a quirk in the frist place in a world were super power are a norm. If Sharagki was smart, he wouldn't have taken AFO quirk. He want to suppress AFO but relies of all the resources that AFO have built. Sharagki after everything he been through, chose to shake hand with devil, blindly and foolish.
@@bloodysimile4893 still crappy to replace him with afo.
Great vid!
Man shigaraki's back must be completely destroyed...
Carrying the anime AND being a gamer is next level scoliosis.
Incredible insight and video subbed
No villain in MHA gets jiggy like Shiggy
Thank you for shining light on a heavily misunderstood character
LETS GOOOOO POSITIVE MHA VIDEO as a fan of shigaraki i gotta saw this is a W video
Tomura Shigaraki is my favorite villain in MHA and best anime villain in top 5 of my favorite characters he's grows as a villain starting as a whining man child to a actual symbol of fear the war arc is his time to shine to me I forgot AFO took over until I watched a couple of videos and reread some of the manga and that makes me sad because it didn't feel like AFO I literally kinda thought Shigaraki was in control he's so cool and menacing was in control but no literally AFO had become just not as intimidating as he was back in kamnio Shiggy is my boy and best Villain in the series and literally probably beat my favorite villain in fiction a leader who cared about his team and grew:)
Thank you for making this video anime only friendly. I really appreciate that.
Shigaraki recieved a character assassination that was so bad he may as well have turned to dust from his own quirk
Shiggy was a simple of all the bad society, defeating or killing him wouldn't solve anything just postpone it for a later time. Only for it to get replaced by AfO who's a villain twirling his mustache in the shadows of a Starbucks.
Damn you're right. Bnha had an amazing antagonist surely the upcoming battle of ideologies will be breath taking despite Hirokoshi's less than avarage writing. Surely he wouldn't try to pull kishimoto and replace a great foil for our main character with bland potato man! Surely he wouldn't stoop this low. Surely.
He back now.

I'm wo glad he's back
The adult themes and the developed characters is what makes mha so fascinating
Tomura is an absolute beast. Went from being a whiny baby to an absolute unit of power, with incredibly devastating quirks like decay and all for one, like deku, but more evil.
very cool video!
I love shiggy
All for one in mangá is insane and beautifull
i think deku will end up trying to save shigaraki from AFO and convince him that the world and hero society can change but what he's doing won't help that. it just isn't really in dekus to kill and he states in this arc that he feels shiggy needs saving rsther then being an evil human being like AFO,amd that may be why shigaraki isbeing sidelined.
ultimately weather deku kill shiggy or saves him i think at the end of this the hero system will end up drastically changing especially with how the manga seems to be going rn
also want to mention i haven't fully.read the manga,however i do know some of the events that happened/are happening. i could have easily missed something.
Yes you are so right in manga current they are fighting so I don’t know if she saves him or not right now current manga 😅
I absolutely love tomura fav character in all anime
manga spoilers but !!! tbh the way horikoshi presents his storyline reminds me a bit of giving midoriya ofa after building up that he could be a hero on his own (internet gave him hell during that time omg), i see he doesn't often write in a singular direction for his characters and likes tossing them around ideas to build up something else so if this parallel is his goal it comes well with the idea of destroying hero society. i still find his arc appealing right now in the manga even if it deviated from what made him great in the first place. great video !!!
HE'S BACK BAYBAY!
Hello. Asslam o alikum. This is a well-written and well-thought video. Thank you for it! Have a nice week to anyone reading this.
I can’t believe the series has been on break ever since Spinner put Nana’s hand on Shigaraki’s face, but at least the break is over now!
I wish the readers and anime watchers could see how great of an antagonist Shigaraki was in the final arc!
Oh wait...
He back now.

Keep it up on your work and this video and channel
I ❤️ this video and channel
Thanks you for your video and channel
I ❤️ My hero academia all franchise
I had a thought about what happens to him during the war that could've improved the story possibly. Have the two of them fight for control from then onwards. Maybe one makes some decisions & one makes others?
What I think is really interesting about Shigaraki, is that people interpret him in (drastically) different ways
For example, many say him attacking Toga and Dabi is just lashing out, while I others argue that he adapted Stains method he told him about earlier (people only show their true colors when faced with death).
Or the U.S.J.:
Some look at him as a manchild who has no ideals (and the speech he gave was empty of true motivation) and just wants to destroy. On the the other hand, people say that he isn’t one, just because the heroes tell us that he is. Instead, he is rightfully upset about a major plan not working out because of something he couldn’t control. At this point, he also had ideals and shouts them out to the world, but then rejects them later on when being told that they are useless by everyone he trusts.
Also, the AfO thing.
So many see it as his character development just being cut off in favor of making AfO the main villain (ngl it is upsetting as hell) and just throwing him away. However, I’ve also seen some argue that it was bound to happen since Shigaraki never managed to break out of the narrative of just being able to destroy wich AfO created for him.
His dub voice and the uses of mhas amazing ost make him even better in the anime. Uncontrollable evil and shiggy awakens themes REALLY set the tone
okay, its settled then! I had a huge fight with my brain about who my favorite character is and now I know. It's Tomura ❤
This is such a good explanation!
This vídeo gives the vibe of the "Does he know?" Meme
Do you have a video on spinner ?
Not ATM
Hori dropped the ball with Shigaraki so hard. Dude couldve been so tough
I just know that in every future Jump crossover game, Shigaraki got so good that he'll come with Deku in all of them.
manga readers knowing this won't age well
He can be the one for all in his own acquired quirks from all for one
Was an incredible antagonists"
If I had to pick a single word to describe why I love this show SO much, it would be: “Rewarding”
Shigaraki went from a straight up goon to a war lord.
He was until they ruined him by shoehorning AFO back in the story
He was an amazing protagonist...the later chapters have RUINED him not only is he a puppet of AFO but he's also just competely overpowered shown in the fight against stars and stripes
Not protagonist

Words To Live By
You fairweather friends only hopped on the Shiggy bandwagon in Season 5. I've been in his corner since Season 1. Also I'd like to point out that the Overhaul arc in retrospect shows how Shigaraki would not be a repeated mistake so long as Izuku is around. Eri has some really strong parallels to Tomura, which I think is made clearer by how they're both in opposition to Overhaul who has a quirk that is like a limited hybrid of theirs.
I'm just waiting for an insane plot twist linked with afo. I want him to be more than just ''pure evil'', he needs a backstory, motivations etc
Sucks to have so many chapters and episodes of build up only for it to all decay
Shigaraki is goated
6:33 Was not expecting that.
Was*
You ugly for that 😂
Too true
AfoShigaraki is a new entity
Gotta lure the anime onlys in so I can turn them into AFO haters
4:15 imagine shiggy sneezed and ended MHA early
his father (shigaraki) is a monster and his mother didn't love her children enough to leave her husband
Tomura in the War Arc does give me the Akira Vibes
It would be crazy if Shigaraki's new body morphing ability could evolve to a point where he can literally create independent bodies, and just "give birth" to Tenko again, because his consciousness still resides deep within. Then Shigaraki battles AFO within his own body, or even creates a new AFO body and they literally 1v1v1 heros vs shigaraki vs AFO. And Tenko could be trained by Deku maybe, this new Tenko could even potentially get OFA quirk because he wouldn't have been born with decay quirk, due to the fact that Shigaraki would've still had that copy.
whats crazy is I was wondering why spinner's arc about racial discrimination in the latest chapters felt extremely shoe-horned in but that makes sense as I watched most of the anime up until the end of villain vs army arc and then picked up the manga
Hori being a Star Wars fan really is a detriment to the story
I haven't seen a villain grit their teeth like Tomura for the sake of improvement. I was glad Izuku couldn't finish it in season 5.
Yes.
Imagine we get a chapter named ''afo: origin''
This video overthrew “Midorya is no longer interesting” let’s gooo
Why do you flash Milton Friedman’s book at 6:34?
Most of the people would be upset because they were expecting more cool animations for the final season, but i learned that in every mha season or movie there's one, at least two, moments were animations budget goes beyond its limit
Though it isn't the final season
@@wiztansupercell2512 it is, it should be formed by two arcs
@@simonearmetta2628 but it’s not so sorry…
Final season lol
Ain’t even close man, the manga isn’t even done
People complaining about AFO taking over Shigaraki's place as the final villain (currently, there's still time for that to change) are looking at the great parallels between Shigaraki and Deku while ignoring the parallels between AFO and All Might. All Might chose Deku as his successor in order to pass the torch on to the next generation, putting all his hopes in him as well as the rest of the 1-A students because they represent the future. AFO represents the distant past who refuses to trust anyone other than himself and can't let go, can't trust others to carry on his will. He chose Shigaraki to be his new container, rather than a successor. Just as Shigaraki and Deku are parallels to each other AFO and All Might are as well. That's what I believe, at least.
Honestly, I know a lot of people are upset at Horikoshi for making Shigaraki be taken over by AFO. But the way I see it, that was always the point. AFO is selfish, he never cared about Shigaraki as someone who would truly become the next him, he groomed and used him for his own benefit. The audience, as well as Shigaraki himself are fooled into thinking that there's some level of trust that AFO has in him, that he's worthy of inheriting AFO, and sure there is, because Shiggy really went and succeeded.
It just brings home the fact that Shigaraki is a victim despite not being a perfect victim like Eri for example. And his regression also makes sense since that loss of agency, he's lost the connections he had with the league (AFO hasn't even allowed him to communicate with them). And now what we see what's left of him is represented by Tenko surrounded by hands. I for one, am not entirely sure where Horikoshi will take Shigaraki's character, but he's always been written with great care. I'm sure Shigaraki will beat AFO, whether it be by his own power or with Izuku's help.
