If heroes are supposed to help those in need, comfort the distressed and protect the vulnerable, then Tomura Shigaraki deserves the title of the greatest hero. Not because he had the highest ranking or saved the most lives or was the "goodest person" but because he did that shit. He gave a place to the disenfranchised he kept them safe and fed to the best of his ability and fought for their happiness. Not out of want for fame or glory. Not even because of some grand sense of altruisim. But because he saw the league as people, as his friends.
In spite of AFO's schemes, in spite of hero society's apathy, in spite of the fucking narrative both in universe and in our lives, Tomura Shigaraki was a hero. And even when he failed he never stopped trying.
Tomura Shigaraki is the greatest hero in the series.
Okay horikoshi you've permanently disabled several teens just doing their best and their teacher, killed several characters who stood as symbols for the abused and neglected and symbols for the hopeful and naive.
Now quit being a coward and kill todoroki enji.
A commission of some recreations of Alphonse Mucha’s The Moon and Stars with the beta kids! For @turnipdragon Thanks so much!
You are such a wonderful character, so vital to My Hero Academia, supporting a good chunk of the plot; you are literally the one who cares for and loves Shigaraki Tomura the most, and I fully believe that had you been allowed to, you could've saved him and the League with the strength of your love alone.
