Shigaraki/Tenko’s speech characteristics!
Usually, Shigaraki uses ‘ore’ (tough-ish, masculine, almost all action shonen protags and the majority of male characters in shonen manga uses this) and rarely adds honorifics to people’s names unless he’s being sarcastic.
However, in Chapter 234, as he’s flashbacking, he reverts back to ‘boku’! That’s more polite, used by young boys. Which fits, because he’s in the memories of his 4-year-old self.

For his family members, for the hands, it seems like Shigaraki still refers to them in the way Tenko does: for his grandparents and Hana, he uses the ‘cutesy’, childish honorific ‘-chan’. “Hana-chan, Obaachan, Ojiichan.”

How cute! In his head, if he ever thinks about the hands, Shigaraki has probably been calling them like so all this time.
He calls his parents: Dad - ‘Otousan’, Mom - ‘Okaasan’.

Interesting thing to note: When All For One introduces Tenko to the hands, he uses the titles little Tenko had for them:
"so, being like a year or so out from the record 'so much for stardust' and looking back at it, the idea that this record was somehow a lot about the idea...how like one day you're not gonna exist and that can just be this big existential dread that kinda follows you around and it can feel paralyzing. but i think instead of just feeling paralyzed, it was important to make this record, and it's a weird record, and i say that because whatever you make — it's bracelets or tiktoks or videos or music — i don't know, you know, memes, whatever it is. make stuff. make stuff 'cause you have to make stuff, make stuff so you feel like you're alive. make stuff, and make the world a little more fucking weird." -pete wentz before heaven, iowa; sacramento, ca 3/3/24
you can replace studying with 0.5-4 hours of thinking about The Character. but watch out
