@@legenaryon6732 no its the opposite actually, the studio compressed the overhaul arc as much as possible without cutting anything, it was 64 chapters in thr manga, wich should be normally like 18 episodes of the anime but it ended on episode 14 The anime adapts around 2 or 3 chapters in one episode , why would endeavor arc and 1A vs 1B take longer than the overhaul arc when they are about 12 chapters in the manga for each one? That means every one of them will be 6 episodes
When Shigaraki came to take Overhauls bullets and cut off both of his arms that's when I truly became scared of him and stopped seeing him as a joke and started seeing Shigaraki as a real threat
Spoiler Decay spreads through everything without the need to touch that (ex, you are in your house, and Shigi touches the door so all your house including you decays), and he can do it without touching with the five fingers
I’m gonna summarize this in one word or a couple. He’s using the power of friendship the most powerful anime power. That might end up being Midori downfall because while he’s becoming way more independent and not trying to involve other people. Shigaraki is forming a team that moves on its own without anybody having to be told anything.
Reminds me a lot of how Luffy manages his crew. He trusts them completely and lets them do whatever they think is right. Deku is fucked. Nakama power in anime is a godlike power.
One thing I love about Shigaraki is that despite how much he has grown and matured, but deep down he's still that man child who's so innocently evil. *Spoilers,* later in the manga after a huge arc, after he acquired a huge amount of power that's enough to destroy the world, instead of coming up a malicious plan, he's just like "Is it over? Great! Let's throw ourselves a sushi party!"
I've always loved Shigaraki tbh-- At the start he was fun to make fun of (nasty gamer man) but over time, I've become genuinely more interested in the League of Villains than Midoriya's story progression.
Shigaraki along with Todoroki are my favourite characters. Shigaraki is incredibly interesting. His personality, drive, and uniqueness are all part of what makes him one of my favourite characters since the beginning. He acted like a child at the start with pure chaotic purposes despite being a young adult. He has always given me a similar vibe of a horror movie antagonist but with more depth. The episode "Encounter" is still one of my favourites to this day, the entire interaction of Midoriya and Shigaraki sitting down and talking about their goals, without attacking eachother, is an incredible moment in the series for me. He then grows more mature whilst still keeping that creepy vibe later on in the series. Once I am up to date with the episodes, I'm going to write about his character. Many people would choose Dabi as their favourite LOV member, but he's too edgy for me and so far has no where near the amount of development or likable traits as Shigaraki. As someone who is studying psychology id really like to go into depth about him and write it down on paper.
shigaraki is a better villain than cinder from rwby because cinder doesn't learn from her mistakes and is still cocky but shigaraki is learning and growing from his mistakes
I’m really hype for the reactions of other people for the growth that Shigaraki will have in the future I didn’t care abt him for a long time but when i read this part with Overhaul I started to respect him Deku story = Shigaraki story Their stories grow together
@@dimityrlefterov4877 *Arc, and yes. But I was specifically talking about the Overhaul arc. My only real complaint was the animation was a bit off during the scene. Didn't capture the chaotic nature of the car chase scene.
FOR MANGA READERS ONLY: I had an idea once I was thinking about Shigaraki. What if, once he gets this power he's been cultivating for 3 months now, he kills All for one. I mean, in my opinion, AFO is All might's villain and Shigaraki is Deku's. All might is retired and now its Dekus time. So, consider how powerful Shigaraki will be after "the power" is completed (literally 110.000+ liberation soldiers, 10 high end Nomus, Gigantomachia, League with Twice's and Toga's evolved quirks). With that, I dont doubt Shigaraki could simply kill All for one and be like "I dont need your mentoring anymore".
Not spoiling anything in the comment, but as a manga-reader, I completely agree and think you’re exactly on-point. It’s been amazing watching Shigaraki go from what I thought was (when I started the show) our “Villain of the Week” (cool design, just meant to be a minor villain), to the badass villain he is currently (plus his future learning and development. Seeing a villain be a foil to the hero and watching them grow from “nothing” to the main villain is interesting and not something common or may not have honestly been done before in hero media. And the best part: Shigaraki’s future development (which will take place next season) is gonna be glorious.
Great video essay, really saw that you took the time to dissect him as the villain and not just a spoiled brat from arc to arc, just beautiful way to portray an amazing series and it’s dark rooted side.
This is for manga readers (unless you wanted to keep reading, of course) The other day I had a dream about Shigaraki, the dream is about a theory I have In the dream the doctor gives him the quirks of all his partners, including the new ones from the Liberation Front (Stress, ice bending, Mustard, moonfish, fire, twice, warp gate, etc.). Also, that was why they showed us their quirks without limitations, not only for character development, but to show us how broken how he will be
I think one thing to remember about destroying overhauls hands is the impact isn't from losing his quirk but from the fact he now no longer has a way to wake his boss up from the coma. Shigaraki took away his reason to live.
at the beginning of the show I was like “how the fuck will handy boi go against deku” But now it’s just like “you better run deku shigaraki is coming to beat your ass”
I’d like to point out that when we first meet Shigaraki, he barely flakes some skin off of Eraserhead’s elbow. But when Overhaul attacks them, he instantly disintegrates a minion with a touch. And yes, I read the manga.
I haven't gotten to that part in the anime, but when I read that on the manga? My thoughts were a huge ass "N A N I ? ?". It's not even just that he becomes a great villain, but also kind of a good leader; sure, he still evolves as such in the following arc reaching (in my opinion) something of a peak in the climax of the Liberation Arc, but being knowledgeable about his subordinates skills and trusting in what they can achieve is kind of a staple for good leaders. There's even an arc in which the Class A and B kids are meant to exercise that same set of group-work skills, which is, ah, cinematic poetry.
I did a character reading on this of how Shigaraki and Deku r the same cuz the creators actually designed them to be exactly like eachother. Of having the same story of how evry detail has a balanced detail to it. He's my favorite villain, He literally got an upgrade in the later seasons. TOTAL VILLAIN VIBES!!!
He literally turned into season 2 Kaneki, and i really love that because they both became free, and liberated, i mean one is a anti hero, and the other is a psychopath because of his quirk of pure chaos, and decay. But to me anyone being able to become liberated is a beautiful thing even if your a villain, even if your the biggest piece of shit if you can find your inner peace, then just inbrace it, don’t try to hide it or change yourself because that would do more damage then anything, because i do want Shigaraki, to have a happy ending, but if his ending is to lose to Midoriyu, at least he went out with his new found inner peace. But i will admit personal i enjoyed him since the first appearance he had, but i do love how much he has improved and developed in the manga, i have spoiled myself on it, but i still can’t wait to read his fight against Re Destro, and when it gets animated hopefully in season 5.
My favourite villain ever personally is Noximilien The Watchmaker. A rly deep and easy to relate to villain coming from the first season of Wakfu. I haven't rly seen anything past season 1 but i have heard great things about season 2. Just for the love of god don't watch the english dub. If you're not planning to watch it here is a very quick rundown of the character: Nox was basically a low end engineer with a wife, a dog and three kids. He accidentally finds an incredibly powerful cube, it talks to him. He studies it and it allows him to make way more powerful machines and it consumes him. His wife leaves him and takes the kids to a different place where they would live for the next couple months and die in a flood. When he finds out he is sad and angry, the cube tells him he can revert time to save them but he needs "power energy" called wakfu. He studies wakfu and collects it for 200 years believing that if he succeeds all his evil deeds will be reversed. When he finally gets enough the cube takes him back 20 minutes. He is wrecked with grief and he dissapears only to later commit suicide. I love this character so much
Shigaraki is my favorite character of all the animes I've ever seen, he has just grown into such a good villain and I love his design and how his overall personality was written. As a manga reader I absolutely love my villain academia it's just so good!!!
There could not possibly be a better villain for Midoriya than Shigaraki. I love it. They're both learning and building and creating their own path and one day it's going to come to a head in a showdown I hope outclasses the United States of Smash (which by the way I could go on a whole other lecture/happy rant about). I am so looking forward to seeing Shigaraki grow and become Dekus equal in evil. I wonder if All For One can transfer All For One.
Beautiful Video manimematt. And if you think this is pretty great for Shigaraki wait until you see the My Villain Academia Arc once it becomes an anime season next year. Cuz let’s just say (without trying to spoil anything) you’ll fall in love with Shigaraki’s development. I’m surprised you never noticed that Shigaraki was the anti Deku of this story. It was obvious since the Kamino Arc. Shigaraki is the result of Deku if he gave up. Especially once you’ll see his origin revealed on how he became the twisted villain we all love today. Ironically enough Izuku and Shigaraki are basically two sides of the same coin.
As someone who read the manga, you are going to be for the best treat ever with tomura. The story make a really good job to explore and make their character grow/have depth, but as you said, Shigaraki mirror Deku as the protagonist of his own story and god does the story bring some very important thing.
Also the reason Shigariki wants destruction is because his quirk causes him to crave it, like how La Brava’s quirk made her fall in love easily and how Toga’s makes her attracted to blood.
warning. small spoilers from manga. at the time of writing this "Meta Liberation Army Arc" finished recently the 15 ark so far. And in the anime we are at Episode 78 Smoldering Flames witch is the first episode in ark 11 "Remedial Course Arc''. What you need to know about the 15 ark is that it is entirely about Villains ,one of the chapters is even called My Villain Academia, but the big thing about this ark we see the origin of several villains and Shigaraki is one of them. So that is something to look forward to in season 5 or 6. Or you can just read the manga.
The League of Villains are like a lesser version of the Phantom Troupe from Hunter x Hunter in that they have become a family that relies and trust each other and can work together remarkably well towards a goal. I love Shigaraki and I can't wait to see what becomes of him.
I root for Shigaraki just as much as Midoriya these days Edit: I think it's because he was portrayed as one of those villains that don't amount to anything and didn't learn. Watching him learn how to get what he wants after being beaten down and disrespected so much is like an underdog story. Watching him and the league reminds me of Ainz's crew in Overlord working towards world domination.
What I love about My Hero academia is that I always under estimate a character. Except for Minuta. Anyway in season 1 I always thought Shigiraki would be replaced by Bakugo back when Bakugo was just a bully. Boy was I wrong about both. Not only has Bokugo proven that he is going to be a hero but Shigiraki has proven he is not a character that can be replaced. Like u said he is evolving and doing things smart villains would do. In season 3 he was almost successful with keeping a kidnapped student. And he’s proven to be an actual strategist. I am terrified of how much he can improve himself down the series makes me want to read the manga after this seasons over. Which I will cause I hear he does not stop growing as a character.
If you like shigaraki so much, do urself a favor and read the manga, vuz there are some incredible scenes wjere shigaraki goes beyond anything the people expected, but they won't get animated for at leat 2 to 3 years I think, cuz they are some what recent in the manga
Between the highway scene and his development in the manga, Shigaraki is probably my favorite character in the entire series now. Never though I’d love this crusty boi as much as I do.
i kinda wonder what the extent of overhaul's powers are/would be if he hadnt lost his arms. like, could he use it to reverse his own aging? there was some line about healing someone if he was quick enough about it, so he cant just literally ressurect a dead person, there still has to be some life left in them (i assume it has something to do with cellular death? like things like heart beating and breathing and such dont matter, but if all the cells are dead no amount of putting them back together will unkill the cells). he could literally meld another person to himself to get stronger, so can he put 2 other people together, or just absorb them?
You know what would be cool if Shiguraki could decay the very air around him nullify air based attacks (Deku's delaware smash) and taking the oxygen away from fire based attacks.
While Shiguraki has matured as a character and in terms of power, his motives haven't changed much. If anything, they seem to have regressed. First he wanted revenge, now he just wants chaos for the sake of chaos. I get that it's supposed to be the opposite of Deku's "I'll save everyone and everything" mentality, but at least with Deku you know who and what these people and things he wants to save are so we can relate to him. Shiguraki was wronged by heroes and the bystander effect they create, but his goal of destroying ALL of society is far to broad to be related back to just that individual example of it being bad. I still love the series, I just get bored whenever he's doing a lot of nothing in a flashy way.

Nox was basically a low end engineer with a wife, a dog and three kids. He accidentally finds an incredibly powerful cube, it talks to him. He studies it and it allows him to make way more powerful machines and it consumes him. His wife leaves him and takes the kids to a different place where they would live for the next couple months and die in a flood. When he finds out he is sad and angry, the cube tells him he can revert time to save them but he needs "power energy" called wakfu. He studies wakfu and collects it for 200 years believing that if he succeeds all his evil deeds will be reversed. When he finally gets enough the cube takes him back 20 minutes. He is wrecked with grief and he dissapears only to later commit suicide. I love this character so much
Yeah after season 3 he’s my favorite character
This is why when asked about the best villain in all of Anime, my first consideration for the title is definitely Shigaraki
I wonder what his reaction would be to the manga- including Shigaraki's backstory-
MVA incoming, so we;ll see soon...
Shigaraki is my favorite character of all the animes I've ever seen, he has just grown into such a good villain and I love his design and how his overall personality was written. As a manga reader I absolutely love my villain academia it's just so good!!!
There could not possibly be a better villain for Midoriya than Shigaraki. I love it. They're both learning and building and creating their own path and one day it's going to come to a head in a showdown I hope outclasses the United States of Smash (which by the way I could go on a whole other lecture/happy rant about). I am so looking forward to seeing Shigaraki grow and become Dekus equal in evil.
I wonder if All For One can transfer All For One.
and THIS is why hes my fav character
Excellent
Beautiful Video manimematt. And if you think this is pretty great for Shigaraki wait until you see the My Villain Academia Arc once it becomes an anime season next year. Cuz let’s just say (without trying to spoil anything) you’ll fall in love with Shigaraki’s development. I’m surprised you never noticed that Shigaraki was the anti Deku of this story. It was obvious since the Kamino Arc. Shigaraki is the result of Deku if he gave up. Especially once you’ll see his origin revealed on how he became the twisted villain we all love today. Ironically enough Izuku and Shigaraki are basically two sides of the same coin.
As someone who read the manga, you are going to be for the best treat ever with tomura. The story make a really good job to explore and make their character grow/have depth, but as you said, Shigaraki mirror Deku as the protagonist of his own story and god does the story bring some very important thing.
Also the reason Shigariki wants destruction is because his quirk causes him to crave it, like how La Brava’s quirk made her fall in love easily and how Toga’s makes her attracted to blood.
Dood, Just wait for the MY Villain Academia Arc.
Shigaraki is truly L I B E R A T E D
I love Shigaraki a lot because of his character development and his backstory is sad. I am going to be really sad when he will be defeated.
Oh and he will become so much more
can’t wait for season 5. shigaraki’s gonna fuck shit up
Correction. Shigaraki didn't destroy both of Overhaul's hand, he destroyed one of them and Mr Compress destroyed his other hand as revenge.
***laughs in manga spoilers***
warning.
small spoilers from manga.
at the time of writing this "Meta Liberation Army Arc" finished recently the 15 ark so far. And in the anime we are at Episode 78 Smoldering Flames witch is the first episode in ark 11 "Remedial Course Arc''. What you need to know about the 15 ark is that it is entirely about Villains ,one of the chapters is even called My Villain Academia, but the big thing about this ark we see the origin of several villains and Shigaraki is one of them.
So that is something to look forward to in season 5 or 6. Or you can just read the manga.
The League of Villains are like a lesser version of the Phantom Troupe from Hunter x Hunter in that they have become a family that relies and trust each other and can work together remarkably well towards a goal. I love Shigaraki and I can't wait to see what becomes of him.
I love Shigaraki sooo much💙😍
I root for Shigaraki just as much as Midoriya these days
Edit: I think it's because he was portrayed as one of those villains that don't amount to anything and didn't learn. Watching him learn how to get what he wants after being beaten down and disrespected so much is like an underdog story. Watching him and the league reminds me of Ainz's crew in Overlord working towards world domination.
What I love about My Hero academia is that I always under estimate a character. Except for Minuta.
Anyway in season 1 I always thought Shigiraki would be replaced by Bakugo back when Bakugo was just a bully.
Boy was I wrong about both. Not only has Bokugo proven that he is going to be a hero but Shigiraki has proven he is not a character that can be replaced.
Like u said he is evolving and doing things smart villains would do. In season 3 he was almost successful with keeping a kidnapped student. And he’s proven to be an actual strategist. I am terrified of how much he can improve himself down the series makes me want to read the manga after this seasons over. Which I will cause I hear he does not stop growing as a character.
If you like shigaraki so much, do urself a favor and read the manga, vuz there are some incredible scenes wjere shigaraki goes beyond anything the people expected, but they won't get animated for at leat 2 to 3 years I think, cuz they are some what recent in the manga
Just wait to see how much more he grows
As a manga reader, it gets so much better
My favorite character in mha without a doubt.
Definitely one of my favourites too
Between the highway scene and his development in the manga, Shigaraki is probably my favorite character in the entire series now. Never though I’d love this crusty boi as much as I do.
Bro when his origin story was revealed and what happened after that was simply amazing.
i kinda wonder what the extent of overhaul's powers are/would be if he hadnt lost his arms. like, could he use it to reverse his own aging? there was some line about healing someone if he was quick enough about it, so he cant just literally ressurect a dead person, there still has to be some life left in them (i assume it has something to do with cellular death? like things like heart beating and breathing and such dont matter, but if all the cells are dead no amount of putting them back together will unkill the cells). he could literally meld another person to himself to get stronger, so can he put 2 other people together, or just absorb them?
like you're taking about a son! 😂 and it's amazing that this is 7 months ago!
You know what would be cool if Shiguraki could decay the very air around him nullify air based attacks (Deku's delaware smash) and taking the oxygen away from fire based attacks.
Both just learn from every single person they come across. And that is great. They don't grow their powers but they grow their minds.
OHoooo, you will be mind BOGGLED when you see my villain aademia
Academia*
While Shiguraki has matured as a character and in terms of power, his motives haven't changed much. If anything, they seem to have regressed. First he wanted revenge, now he just wants chaos for the sake of chaos. I get that it's supposed to be the opposite of Deku's "I'll save everyone and everything" mentality, but at least with Deku you know who and what these people and things he wants to save are so we can relate to him. Shiguraki was wronged by heroes and the bystander effect they create, but his goal of destroying ALL of society is far to broad to be related back to just that individual example of it being bad.
I still love the series, I just get bored whenever he's doing a lot of nothing in a flashy way.
R.I.P. Snatch..
