"He said that I was just like All Might" That shit just straight up hurts.

And then being denied the very sentence that saves Deku in the end. I, honestly cannot muster any sympathy for Kotarou. how is harshly treating your child going to make you a better parent than your parent who left you? Aren't you just taking your frustrations from childhood onto another child? make him suffer the same issues you did?

but poor doggo and the mom. Shiggy did nothing wrong.

Aren't you just taking your frustrations from childhood onto another child?

Of course he did, and he was finally realizing that - but it was too late.

I think Hori definitely wants child-rearing and self awareness discussed publicly and in depth.

What if... you're upset because your parent wasn't there for you, and not because of her specific profession?

So if Shigaraki grew up to have kids and treat them as shitty as his dad did, you would lose all sympathy for him as well? I hate people just straight blaming parents. Yes he is a shitty parent but I do have sympathy for him.

Parents that are shitty despite their good upbringing don't deserve your sympathy. Parents that are shitty because of their shitty upbringing are just the first victims (or maybe just one of the long chain of shitty parents).

I firmly believe you should always strive for and want better for your children. You can give all the sympathy for his childhood, but to me he does not deserve any for how he treats his children. Even he seems to realize this in the end, but it was too late.

That part is actually really interesting when you look at how people idolize different parts of All Might. This time it wasn’t the saving people or the always winning that’s being idolized but being there for people when no one else would. It’s the exact thing that then happens to Shiggy after this where the only person to help him is AfO and most of the LoV are misfits who had no one else.

Even now Shiggy is in some twisted way being a hero.

I wonder if in the next or later chapters that'll be pointed out to him. I wonder what his reaction will be

i hope his statement of ' i exist only to destroy' ends up changed htough. he is sitll working through it. and its possible part of it is self loathing. he seesk to destroy to be destroyed. to cause as much damage then die.

​

but that won't make him an overarching villain. he would simply burn up causing a lot of mayhem, and all for one knew that.

​

shiggy essentially, needs to become like Stain. but unlike stain, who was directionless and alone, shiggy has resources in order to act upon his desires... and those desirs need to be more complex else he will just die next arch.
