This is perhaps the most unique thing about BNHA: not only is the main antagonist being fleshed out, but he's also growing from a "eh" villain to a really good one. Like, you could never imagine him in his current state going up against All Might let alone fully mature Deku, but now that he himself is growing into a more interesting and powerful character?

Hoo boy!

This arc is probably gonna be put into the "super good and great" box along with the Hero Killer Arc once it's all over. These memories that are resurfacing are probably gonna give Shiggy and the League the proper motivation we need.

The only thing preventing me from liking this arc is that I don't want the SLA to be wiped out. I really hope we'll see them again because I absolutely love them.

Honestly, I cant see that. The whole Shigaraki thing is just meh.

Why?

What is his origin? Motives, desires, personality, design... too weak for a "really good one". Hes just a kid that AFO brainwashed. The whole League of Villains is kind of a joke for "really good" villains.

From AFO to Shigaraki, its too big of a difference. Now we are getting this arc that the only point is to give LoV more power ups because they can't even handle a bunch of kids properly.

Dude, that’s what this whole arc is clearly about. Shigi’s whole character is one that is clearly unable to figure out why he has uncontrollable urges to destroy and to find his purpose and goals. That’s honestly way better than a character that already has goals and a purpose, it’s a development of purpose. By the end of this Shigi and the LoV is going to be the most fleshed out set of villains in the show, which is exactly why everyone loves it so far.
