The Heroes Believed The League And The Shie Hassaikai Wouldn't Cooperate Because They Were Under The

The heroes believed the League and the Shie Hassaikai wouldn't cooperate because they were under the impression that Shigaraki couldn't work with others. But this scene is a clear demonstration of how Overhaul was the one who couldn't view anyone else as an equal.

From the jump, Overhaul insisted on playing a game his supposed collaborator never played and showed no interest in playing. He then immediately insisted on being given members of the League as collateral and implied he would not return them. He had all of the raw ambition of an All for One with none of the charisma.

Shigaraki often viewed himself and his allies in terms of video game mechanics. Shigaraki was more similar to Overhaul during the Forest Training Arc where he viewed his allies as characters in a sims game in that he was the player manipulating the pieces. Overhaul also viewed himself as the player who manipulates the pieces on the shogi board during his arc.

But when All for One isn't breathing down his neck, Shigaraki is more of an RPG guy. He was willing to be more involved and get his hands dirty. He's not the mastermind sort of character. Shigaraki originally was a single player mode guy in USJ. He only had NPCs and his babysitter on his team at that time. By the Shie Hassaikai Arc, Shigaraki viewed his path forward more like an MMORPG. He now had a party who he could work with as a team on his journey.

some arguments about characters nowadays are so funny, especially when it entails characters who are children or have their past shown at some point, because it’s clear that people forget they were also kids once.

take Dabi/Todoroki Touya from MHA, for example.

“i don’t care if he was 8-years-old, he should’ve known better than to be sexist and not to ‘trauma dump’ on his youngest brother.” this argument is a common one i’ve seen so far, here on tumblr and on tik tok.

like. babes. children acting out are the reflection of their parents/guardians. moments that Touya was saying sexist shit as a literal 8-13 year old is a reflection of his father—who Touya had a clear level of obsession on top of the obvious deep desire to be loved and acknowledged.

plus, i understand many of us matured prematurely, and that makes it easier to understand Shouto’s response to abuse more so than Touya, however, we need to remind ourselves that maturing early is not ok and not the case for every child who has gone through abuse. but also, beneath the layer of “maturity” still lies a lost child. you know that better than anyone.

i’m not saying you have to love the little rascal, but maybe focus on the literal murder he committed to feel some sort of vindication at his current predicament instead of his actions as a mentally unstable child lol.

rody making it into the first top 20 of the worldwide best hero poll is so funny to me

all we have is a non-canon (?) movie and some scraps here and there but this fandom loves him so much to let him be forgotten

(he’s 17th in the japan top 20 so i guess the japaneses are the one voting for him. than you guys. he deserves it)
