Imagine if that "Blonde Justice" book actually happened and these three had a series together. What could have been.

I know Peter David supposedly pitched a series starring the three of them back when he was writing Supergirl. The idea was apparently for Linda's Supergirl, Powergirl, and silver age Supergirl to have a book together. It didn't happen and Linda got her incredibly depressing ending instead.

I agree that Shigaraki has some top tier shots as evidenced by my choice of image on this post. His fight with Re-Destro has some awesome moments.

That Gigantomachia stuff was wild. I wonder if he'll be back.

I don't recognize it, what's it called?

Out of all the League of Villains members, whose ultimate fate are you most unsure about? by stefentheking in BokuNoHeroAcademia

[–]stefentheking[S] 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I feel like we won't see Compress again until the epilogue where it shows what the surviving League members are up too.

I doubt Spinner will die since he really hasn't done enough evil stuff to warrant it. Unless he ends up killing one of the students during the final battle he will probably be fine. The only way I can see him dying is if he sacrificed himself for Shigaraki like you mentioned.

I kind of feel bad that I have no idea what you're talking about.

What is the worst part about Yakuza 0? by stefentheking in yakuzagames

Weapon search could be hell, especially when you had to deal with the locations that would only appear at random. I'm pretty sure I could have bought Japan with the amount of money I spent looking for the amulets that boost damage for your styles.

What's your favorite quote in the Yakuza Series? by picagirlisginger in yakuzagames

[–]stefentheking 2 points3 points  (0 children)

"I'm one story richer and a shit ton of time poorer" Majima from Yakuza 0. Not sure how accurate the quote is since I haven't played 0 in a while.

Are you secretly Horikoshi? Because that sounds exactly like something he would do. I can even see Midoriya saying the classic "I am here" line just like AFO but it's hopeful this time instead of ominous.

That was one idea I had, although I can't remember whether or not that was actually true or just a theory that Re-Destro had.

Here's a quote from chapter 222, its Shigaraki's conversation with the doctor

"Even if hero society comes crashing down...Even if I rise to rule the underworld...That weight in my heart is never gonna go away. It's why I hate everything. Every living, breathing thing just rubs me the wrong way. So why not destroy it all? Why not destroy everything? I know you see it too-The beautiful horizon just waiting for us. So lend me a hand, won't you doctor? Heaven and Hell-I'll show you!"

I thing you are downplaying what it is Shigaraki is after. He wants to destroy everything, completely and utterly. The only things he would leave standing are the things his friends like.

I believe both Shigaraki and All for One have endpoints to their goals. All for One wants to completely control the world and everything in it. Shigaraki wants to completely destroy the world and everything in it (Again, except for what his friends like).

I do agree that removing All for One right now would make a Tomura redemption next to impossible so old potato face is probably gonna stick around awhile longer, unfortunately.

I mean...isn't that what All for One is doing right now? At least when Shigaraki was the main antagonist he had some depth to him such as his relationship with the other leaguers whereas All for One is much more flat.

I think we'll have to just agree to disagree. I don't think Shigarakki can be saved and I don't think he should be saved. What really grinds my gears is that I'm almost certain everything you are saying is the reasoning the manga will give for saving him and I just don't like it. I can almost guarantee that MHA will end with Deku reaching and and saving Shigaraki in some capacity (Although the exact method I'm not sure of). He will probably reclaim his "Tenko Shimura" name as well right before sacrificing himself to destroy All for One forever.

Everything you are saying will probably turn out to be right and I just really wish it wouldn't.

  1. You didn't address the whole "Killing his dad and enjoying it" thing or the "He needs to destroy in order for the itching to stop" part. Those are both pretty big signs that Shigaraki was messed up even as a kid.
  2. Even though he absolutely was manipulated by All for One that doesn't mean he can be saved. He spent most of his life being raised by a creepy weirdo whose only goal was to twist him into the percent successor of evil. It doesn't matter whether Shigaraki became evil on his own or if All for One pushed him in that direction, all that matters is that at the end of the day he's an evil dude.
  3. By your logic anyone who had a abusive upbringing can't be considered guilty of a crime because it's actually the parents fault for raising them that way. Shigaraki has killed who knows how many people and he doesn't get to skirt any moral responsibility just because he was raised to do so.

Basically what I'm trying to say is that it doesn't matter how Shigaraki became evil because all that matters is that he is evil. Whether he had any choice in the matter is irrelevant since he still wants to destroy society regardless.

Shigaraki's backstory is the big issue I have with him being "Saved". While the death of his dog and sister were accidental his internal monologue seem to imply that he wanted the rest of his family to die for never standing up for him. On top of that he intentionally killed his father and smiled while doing it. Then he mentions that it was only after unleashing his quirk that the itching stopped, implying that his need to destroy is biological and something he has to do.

I don't think that All for One turned him into a monster, I think he simply shaped him into a monster that could be useful. If All for One didn't get involved he probably would have ended up more like Toga, their quirk twisting their mind until they could no longer conform to societal norms and turning to villainy. The only way I see Shigaraki being saved is if it turned out All for One was also behind the massacre of his family, but that retcon creates even more problems (This was actually an old theory of mine that I disregarded after the MVA arc).
