Touyatraumaroki - Traumaroki

Happy Birthday, Tomura Shigaraki ❤️‍🩹🎮 - April 4th || My Hero Academia

This might be reaching a bit, but I was thinking about how Dabi's piercings are different colors in the manga and the anime, and while I prefer the silver look aesthetically, I had an idea of why they might be gold officially.

Horikoshi could be using the gold piercings to symbolize kintsugi, with Dabi stitching the broken pieces of himself back together with gold, highlighting his trauma and imperfections instead of trying to hide them.

Which would really tie into his and the Todoroki family story as a whole, since so much of their story is wrapped up in them needing to acknowledge their problems and face them, instead of pretending they don't exist.

i like how vertically gifted he looks at this angle

slurp

Wanted to just draw his body and burns 😭🙏
