*THE END*
I’ve only seen the LOV seiyuu event being passed around through twitter screencaps (which is annoying to read imo) so I’m copy+pasting @/shibuyasmash’s posts about the skit below the cut. The full thread can be found here.
💖💀⚔️
The stage is dark except for a light on AFO’s voice actor, and the skit starts with a monologue by All For One in Tartarus. He’s musing about how boring it is in Tartarus and how they can monitor everything but his thoughts.
All For One ponders about how a Quirk that could control the mind & heart could be the most powerful and simple way to get what he wants. But AFO decides a Quirk like that would make things unsatisfying and boring.
All For One remembers his brother reading the comic and thinks about how the last interesting conversation he had was with All Might wearing his sad looking loose hero costume.
All For One thinks about All Might is too sentimental and has to let his student go to learn on his own, like AFO has done with Shigaraki after raising him carefully for all these years…
We then fade away from All For One’s thoughts and see his beloved student Shigaraki… in a room that’s all messy and trashed. They show a picture on the screen of the messy room & the lights turn on the LOV voice actors. All of the LOV is there except for Dabi.

BNHA is obviously set in Japan, but many villain fans speculate if any LOV members speak English as well. Here are my thoughts about it as an English as a Second Language teacher.
Shigaraki– Based on his upbringing, I'd say he probably has a damn good grasp on reading and writing in English, possibly even listening comprehension, but he has no conversational ability whatsoever. As someone who intended to take over the whole world, AFO would've wanted his heir to know English. However, Tomura's extremely secluded childhood meant that he probably wouldn't have had the opportunity to converse in the language or work on his pronunciation.
Dabi- Little to no ability. His education stopped at early middle school a decade previously. He might still be able to say "Hello. My name is Touya. I am from Japan. Do you speak Japanese?" if he'd had those stock phrases beaten into his head during his education.
Toga: See Dabi. She might have a few more phrases memorized since she's more recently out of school than Dabi is. "My favorite color is red. I am 14 years old."
Twice: No ability. Like Dabi and Toga, he also dropped out in middle school. He's older than they are, though, so he's had more time to forget anything he'd learned at school.
Spinner: Shockingly, I think he's the most likely member to be decently fluent in English. If I remember correctly, he finished high school and therefore had at least 3 more years of formal English education than the rest of them did. He's also a young guy who plays video games, which in my experience is a demographic that rapidly gains English skills from playing online with Americans. Shigaraki is explicitly said to have only played solo, but Spinner could've played online. His English conversation skills are probably really good and he's learned every curse word and slur that there is, plus a bunch of idioms. He might not be great at reading and writing in English unless he joined Discord or Tumblr or something.
Compress: Unknown. He's been out of school for a long time, but it seems like a random skill that he'd have.
