This Is Bnhas True Ending. Or At Least It Would Have Been Better Than What We Got.

This is bnhas true ending. Or at least it would have been better than what we got.

Also still works surprisingly well with Shigarakis last words and all.

I wanted to keep it brief, but then I felt like it was too simple and I ended up going overboard anyway.

Deku trying to talk with Spinner at Tartarus after what happened with Shigaraki. It's mostly just him looking for closure and Spinner having none of it.

His past and who inspired him

"By royal decree, each of the Velaryon boys was presented with a dragon’s egg whilst in the cradle. Those who doubted the paternity of Rhaenyra’s sons whispered that the eggs would never hatch, but the birth in turn of three young dragons gave the lie to their words."

Fire and Blood: Heirs of the Dragon: A Question Of Succession

One of my favourite parts of the Dance is that this was a real thing they did. They gave Rhaenyras sons eggs to proof that they weren't bastards.

When Rhaenyras mother was half Arryn and she had no issue claming a dragon, Rhaenys mother was half Bartheon and she had no issue claiming a dragon and Alicents children are all half Hightower and had no issues claiming dragons.

Which works in universe really well, but from a modern perspective it's just really funny to think that they belived that dragons cared about human marriage.

Sure this gigantic fire breathing lizard totally cares that some random guy blessed you otherwise it wouldn't hatch from it's egg.

It felt like we were being set up for a "You Can Be A Hero" from Deku to Shigaraki, since that's what little Tenko wanted 15 years ago, right? For someone to tell him he can be a Hero, despite his father and family discouraging him? Deku to pay forward what All Might said to him, Shigaraki to finally get the words he wanted.

Except that never happens. And I feel like that's because Shigaraki already figured that out on his own. He decided for himself he wants to be a Hero for the Villains. He's been their Hero all along, ever since he formed the League. He saved Twice by giving him a place to belong, he helped Toga by letting her be herself; he gave his League those months of friendship and hope, when they had none before. It's as Spinner said - Shigaraki Tomura was their Hero, already.

In Chapter 418, Deku canceled out Shigaraki/Tenko's hatred and guilt and sadness, gave him relief, but never said anything else. (He doesn't say anything in Chapter 423 to a dying Shigaraki either.) The relief gave Shigaraki clarity, but only that - and it was clarity for something he already knew, deep down. "Even if you stamp out my hatred, even if I wind up hollow..." Shigaraki did not need Deku's approval or validation for his heart's desire: to be a hero, even if it's not the type of hero the most of the rest of the world wants.

(Not that Deku would've given him those words, I think. I feel like Deku would not have thought Shigaraki could be a Hero or tell him that. He's too unforgiving towards Shigaraki for being a Villain, even after entering his mind. He didn't know/understand Shigaraki well enough for that either, until after Shigaraki died. Not until Deku met with Spinner.)

Shigaraki was the League's Hero, wanted to be a Hero for the outcasts and broken. And he realized that and fought to do so all on his own.
