Dude Tomura Shigaraki Is Literally The Most Transparent Character In BNHA, Like There Is Not A Single

Dude Tomura Shigaraki is literally the most transparent character in BNHA, like there is not a single moment where what he’s saying is NOT exactly what he means. His situation is also very obvious and clear to the people around him but they literally just do not care. The amount of times that he’s said exactly what his issue with the world is and it being dismissed as mindless violence two seconds later by the other characters is ridiculous (also by people who are reading BNHA but that’s a different story 🙄). He’s not like Dabi who has created an entirely new identity for himself, and wore that for a decade— dissociating and hiding who he is and how he’s really feeling. He isn’t written to be cryptic and hard to figure out. He is one of the most straight forward characters I think I personally have ever read. 

His first introduction into the story was him spelling out his convictions to everyone in the room at UA and to his target (All Might). He can’t articulate it well and ends up not getting his point across to Stain, despite having the same type of issues Stain has with the world. He’s told by Stain that he has no conviction and is just killing pointlessly. THEN he’s told by the main character at their next encounter that his violence is pointless and “just for fun”, despite hearing everything he said at USJ.

All Might finds out he’s Nana’s grandson-starts to piece everything together, then quickly decides it’s not worth his time after Gran Tostito just reiterates the fact that Shigaraki is a criminal.

He spills his guts out in front of the LOV and the doctor, explaining why he’s so sick of everything and just wants to erase it all and start over, and the doctor continues referring to him as the “embodiment of destruction” and saying he “takes after AFO”. Completely disregarding the fact that there is a very deep desire in Shigaraki to see a better world.

Shigaraki is once again spilling his heart out in the middle of a war in front of the heroes who are actively trying to kill him, begging for SOMEONE to listen–and just gets dismissed again when Endeavor–once again–tries to fucking kill him.

Green Tomato KNOWS what happened with Nana, and put the pieces together probably figuring out why he ended up the way he did–and then accuses Shigaraki of trampling over Nana’s memory and hurting All Might just by existing. 

He spills his heart out to anyone in the vicinity, anyone who will listen, and it’s still never mattered.

Like how many times does he have to scream out WHAT he’s angry about straight to their faces? He has never tried to hide how he feels about anything.

Not only is it the heroes’ jobs to royally fuck up, but it’s also their job to just not listen at all and fail at critical thinking altogether. And because of all of this, from a reader’s perspective he’s one of the easiest characters to read and understand.

I am currently in a Harry Potter mood and all I can say is: there is so much more potential explored by the fans than JKR ever could write and I am here for it.

There is so much potential in the series but looking back at it there are so many points where improvement could be easily made. Especially in charcter greyness of house Slytherin.

Also don’t give that woman any more money. Want to read the books? Go to a library or buy them used. Same with DVDs. Want merch? -only buy fan merch.

I think we all agreed that Harry Potter canon is only used as a base to make better fanon out of and anything she says nowadays is filed under: I heard you and I chose to ignore you.

All it takes is/ It was not just

One Bad Day

Bonus: Spinner’s just another day.

I think AFO being "the big bad" and Tomura being the end boss isn't mutually exclusive. I think it would be a perfect play together to have both.

AFO as you said goes against everyone's goals that aren't his own and has no interest in them, which makes him so punchable no matter who the reader roots for.

But Tomura stand for all of society’s issues and those are “the biggest bad” in the series because they created most of the villains, so he should be the end boss. Just one that isn’t there only to be an obstacle for the main protagonist and rather the end boss for society as it is and Deku’s job as a true hero would be to make sure that it changes. 

The obstacle in Tomura wouldn’t be to physically fight him, but to connect with him which is way harder than a user of the most powerful quirk in the universe just punching him.

So with the end supposedly approaching (relatively speaking), people have started giving some thought as to who the final threat is really going to be; Tomura Shigaraki or All For One. It’ll definitely be one of them, they’re the strongest and most established villains by a mile; but both have their own reasons for people to think they’ll be the “final boss” of the series. And far be it from me to keep my opinion to myself; I really think it’s going to be Tomura.

I’m not sure if that’s some level of controversial among the fans hoping for Shigaraki’s redemption, as I do believe the alternative’s gotten a lot of traction lately. Because understand that I’m still expecting his redemption too, and don’t expect his hypothetical final boss status to really prevent that. (Practically nothing can, it’s as much a guaranteed outcome at this point as Deku getting his sixth bonus quirk.) Realistically, the only difference would be if he & Deku then team up to fight the evil potato head, or to…just start fixing stuff I guess.

On that note, the eventual redemption is actually one of the reasons I think he’s the better choice. Almost every point of comparison between the two villain I can think of makes Tomura seem like the better choice, actually…with maybe one or two exceptions. So I wanted to go over all those points of comparison & everything they’ve got going for them as endgame villains and why the comperrisons overall seem to favour Tomura as the final boss.

Go Class 1A Go!

Kick some sense into your friend.

So I don’t actually watch mha academia anymore and only read the manga, BUT of course since my villain academia is coming up I found a ton of content on my dash.

Of course as usually Bones seems to be doing very strange things with the adaptation.

But maybe just maybe they try to make a subverting expectations in a good way thing.

As in they now show Tomura being super destructive, having this “the obvioulsy totally evil and nothing else villain steps on the pretty flower” moment while we saw absolulty nothing of Spinner in the latest DVD art.

Maybe they try to build up on the perseption of the pro hero perspective: those guys are just evil and nothing else. And then when my villain academia does happen it catches those who haven’t yet noticed how human the league are by surprise.

Then again this is a total moment of hope that someone thought things a bit better through and nothing more.
