Summary
Warning : This article take spoilers for My Hero Academia ’s final arc!!My Hero Academiais immensely democratic as a serial , so obviously not every story decision is going to go over well . It ’s an impossible task to fill every fan ’s desire , so somewhere , a lover is going to be disappointed over the direction an author takes their plot . But one bring out in the villainousTomura Shigaraki ’s backstoryhas garnered significant battle , and that ’s the fact his natural quirkiness is not Decay .
The quirk known as Decay is revealed to in reality be a modify version of the ' Overhaul ' oddity , and was actuallygiven to Shigaraki as a child by All For One . Some readers think that this is a convenient patch twist , a cheap self-justification to make All For One almost solely creditworthy for the horrible puerility trauma that transubstantiate Tenko Shimura into Tomura .
However , it ’s not inconsistent with the theme ofMy Hero Academia , nor should it have been that surprising of a reveal . In fact , it only stands to reward the theme of the manga and the ultimate destination of Dekuand the other students at U.A. , by make All For One even more deplorable than ever .
How All For One Manipulated Shigaraki’s Life
A Look into the Orchestrated Tragedy of the Shimura Family
Back in the ' My Villain Academia ' arc , Shigaraki ’s backstory was revealed in point . It was there that it turned out he was actuallythe grandson of Nana Shimura , a former wielder of One For All and mentor to All Might , who had abandoned her family to try and spare them from All For One ’s wrath . Then known as Tenko Shimura , he wish to be a great hero someday , much to the chagrin of his hero - hat Padre .
After being abused by his father for finding an sometime picture of Nana in his study ( which he was told not to go into),Tenko had a crack-up and awakened his quirk , Decay . He then proceeded to accidentally pour down his dog Mon and the sleep of his family as his oddity spiraled out of controller . later on , he stray the streets in a psychogenic fugue state , frightening passersby with his ' creepy-crawly ' look , before being picked up by All For One .
However , Chapter # 419 bring out something that drastically changed Tenko ’s backstory - that he had beengiven the Decay quirk by All For Oneafter he had his lifelike quirk stripped of him as an infant . The reveal further implicates that All For One essentiallygroomed Shigaraki to become the perfect baddie and vessel for his power , having a hired man in his birth , various events in his life , and finally giving him the Decay queerness .
Some literary criticism has come from this revelation . Some think that it essentially polish off agency from Shigaraki as a character , others that it had n’t been intended from the start , and a world-wide distaste for All For One revealing this whilehijacking Shigaraki ’s body for himself . All For One had ostensibly forgather his end in Chapter # 410 , so his sudden return feels like a cheap way to bring back the utter villain to some . But All For One stage a key figure that clashes against the musical theme of the manga - that ' anyone can be a hero . '
How All For One Represents the Antithesis of My Hero Academia’s Theme
The Ultimate Villain Against the Ultimate Heroes
A key theme presented from the very first chapter of MHA is that ' anyone can be a hero sandwich . ' This does n’t necessarily mean anyone can put on spandex and become a superhero , but rather thata normal person can be a hero to anyone , regardless of their enduringness . Chapter # 1 exhibit this best when Midoriya runs at the Sludge villain to save Bakugo , which is what inspires All Might to give One For All to the boy .
This ties into an issue repeatedly pointed out in the quirk - wield gild of MHA , that people have become too reliant on the Pro Heroes to show up and figure out problems . It ’s specifically highlighted in Shigaraki ’s backstory - rather than help a nipper clearly in want , people just let him be and figured that a Italian sandwich would come and help oneself him . But if someone else had helped Shigaraki back then , it ’s possible that All For One ’s game could ’ve been foiled before the series even began .
It is this kindness that will advance Shigaraki to , doubtless , break free from All For One ’s mastery .
All For One relies on the world ’s reliance on heroes to thrive , employ the ignorance of the public to subtly shift things in his favor for decades on death in a bidding to rule the human beings . It could have work , if it were n’t for the fact that Deku see those problem with the world and wants to change that perception . Midoriya is an exceptionally kind soul who truly only wants to help everyone , and seesthe electric potential for anyone to become a hero , and that admit Shigaraki . It is this forgivingness that will encourage Shigaraki to , doubtlessly , break free from All For One ’s control .
Shigaraki , or rather , Tenko , will get his moment . Everyone has the capacity to be a hero , even if they began as a baddie . The death that he has exploit wo n’t be forgiven , but his last instant will be something truly heroic . Thus , the twist is n’t a cheesy elbow room to justifyDeku ’s need to save Shigarakidespite all his crimes , but or else gives the new villain a way totake back his agency from the humans who stole it from him in the first place . Tenko will then in full body forth the root word of ' anyone can be a hero , ' struggle alongside Deku to finish off this ultimate scoundrel .
Ultimately , this only do to strengthen this underlying , clear theme forMy Hero Academiaas it comes to its finish . All For One is essentially vicious incarnated , a representation of all that is bad in the world of MHA . Thus , his control overShigaraki ’s life is n’t inconsistent with the theme that ’s go under up , but rather an extension that record why All For One is the antithesis of that theme in the first shoes , and why he is theperfect last adversary for everyone in the series to look .
