My Hero Academia Reveals the Surprising Truth About Shigaraki's True Quirk—Like It's Really Sad
My Hero Academia Reveals the Surprising Truth About Shigaraki's True Quirk—Like It's Really Sad Credit- Fandom Spoilers below, but My Hero Academia fans just discovered a heartbreaking fact about one of the series' most prominent villains, Tomura Shigaraki. His original quirk had never meant to be violent and it should have afforded him a comfortable life. My Hero Academia — one of the most popular and critically acclaimed anime / manga series in recent years — takes place in a world where nearly every human has a special power known as a Quirk. Operation Sindoor 'Decided to strike where it would hurt': Air Marshal on Op Sindoor Op Sindoor: IC-814 hijackers, Pulwama plotters among over 100 terrorists killed 'Pak Army lost 35 to 40 personnel': Takeaways from armed forces' briefing on Op Sindoor Some of them are able to use them to turn themselves into heroes, and some of them into villains. One of the central antagonists, Tomura Shigaraki, is infamous for his fearsome Decay quirk, which disintegrates anything he comes in contact with. In a recently uncovered turn, Shigaraki was never intended to receive this kind of power. Indeed, he had a very different quirk from the get-go—one that actually made him connected to his prodigious haikujin gran, Nana Shimura. Shigaraki's original quirk was completely peaceful In the My Hero Academia Ultra Archive art book, Even as series creator Kohei Horikoshi was planning it, Shigaraki's original quirk had no connection to decay at all. Instead, it was a floating-type ability like Nana Shimura's 'Float' quirk. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like The Expense Of Toothbringing For The Elderly Could Blow You Off Dental Implant | Search ADS Search Now Undo As explained on Twitter by Horikoshi, the 'ring' energy that we see floating around All For One during their final fight was actually inspired by Tenko Shimura's original quirk—before it was forcibly taken and altered. All that means Shigaraki could have had the soft, non-violent power and perhaps even walked in his grandmother's heroic footsteps. All For One took it all away The true archvillain of this calamity sits outside of it — All For One, the nefarious supervillain fond of mind control and nightmares in My Hero Academia. He didn't just raise Tenko to be a villain. He orchestrated his whole life, starting by stealing his original quirk and replacing it with the destructive Decay. All For One had a decades-old vendetta against Nana Shimura and used her grandson as a tool in his scheme. He went so far as to orchestrate Tenko's birth just so he could raise him to be the ideal vessel for his wicked aspirations. It's one of the cruellest reminders that Shigaraki never wanted to be a villain. He was shaped into one. What could have been: A life with family, not tragedy In this other universe, Tenko Shimura would've retained his floating quirk, remained near his loved ones, and possibly even grown up to become a hero himself. Rather than achieving his desired goal of gaining useful control over his new destructive quirk, All For One's interference only worsened things, resulting in the horrific death of his entire family while he was still a child. This traumatic moment shattered Tenko's spirit and psyche, and started his transformation into the dangerous and nihilistic Shigaraki we know and love today. Considering the truth that we know now, it's so painfully clear that he was a victim, not just a perpetrator. The losing battle over jurisdiction In fact, during the final arc of the manga, this is precisely what Shigaraki attempts to do—push All For One out of his body. The two are locked in an ongoing psychological war, with Shigaraki attempting to retake control of his personal narrative and his existence. Understanding that All For One actively concealed Shigaraki's true quirk from him makes this backstory all the sadder, as it adds an extra layer of betrayal. Final thoughts: A villain made, not born This reveal completely changes how fans see Shigaraki. He's not just a villain with a dangerous quirk—he's a manipulated child, robbed of his future and family. My Hero Academia has always blurred the lines between good and evil, but this twist makes it clearer than ever: Shigaraki's story is a tragedy born from another man's evil. Where to read and watch My Hero Academia You can catch My Hero Academia on Crunchyroll, Hulu, and Netflix. The manga is available officially through VIZ Media and Shonen Jump apps. The final season is currently in production, and fans can expect more emotional reveals as the series wraps up.

My Hero Academia just revealed All For One's real name and it changes everything
My Hero Academia just revealed All For One's real name and it changes everything credit- Fandom The most recognizable yet dangerous villain of the anime series finally has a name worthy of his power, All For One. Here's why it's significant and why fans are raving. Here's how My Hero Academia finally unmasked its most dangerous and mysterious villain. After decades of lurking under his alias, All For One's true name has finally been unveiled. This shocking development is based on official, newly released information from a new, official guidebook released in Japan as a precursor to said anime's last season. The accompanying art book, Ultra Archive, reveals fans' never-before-seen information that was not included in the anime or manga. The biggest surprise of all is the villain's true identity. His birth name is Zen Shigaraki . All For One's true name is Zen Shigaraki and the implications of his villainy Until now, one of the major villains of the series was known to fans only as All For One, the name befitting a villain with the ability to steal and use others' power. Until recently, the Ultra Archive book provided the canonicity that his real name is Zen Shigaraki. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like 2025 Top Trending local enterprise accounting software [Click Here] Esseps Learn More Undo This new bit of information is significant because it directly relates to Tomura Shigaraki , the villain All For One raised to replace him. It shows the backstory of All For One, since he is the brother to Yoichi Shigaraki, the first user of the One For All power. The name Zen too, is an intriguing pick. In popular usage, Zen tends to connote peace or calm, a quality that stands in stark contrast to this particular villain. Maybe that's the idea. All For One's tranquility and icy demeanor are a facade, behind that mask is an individual who sacrificed everything in pursuit of his monstrosity. The name Zen Shigaraki is important. This new name adds some layers and complexity to All For One. For years, he felt like an untouchable, more a figurehead than man. Now audiences have a chance to understand the human story that created the villain. Learning his real name only strengthens the connection to Tomura Shigaraki. Tomura Shigaraki's name is a reference to the Japanese urban legends known as 'Redroom' or 'Redroomed,' which have been translated worldwide. It's both Darren and the golden opportunity lost. It further demonstrates just how massively he undertook the task of obliterating his previous existence. In order to transform into the 'Demon Lord' he envisioned, he discarded his name, his family and in fact, all that made him human. My Hero Academia final season My Hero Academia is set to return for its final season in October 2025. It will lead the open-world, long-running story to its climactic conclusion with a most epic final showdown. Fans can finally experience the climactic battle between All For One / Tomura Shigaraki and Izuku Midoriya animated just like in the pages of the manga. will be streaming the new season simultaneously for fans outside of Asia. The cast and crew of earlier seasons are returning once again to help give the series a proper sendoff as it rides out into the sunset. Where to watch My Hero Academia If you're hoping to binge-watch all the way up to the final 8th season, you're in luck, as those other 7 previous seasons are available to stream right now on Crunchyroll Hulu Netflix (available onsite only, depending on your region) There's never been a better time to start watching—or to rewatch—the series before the ultimate showdown gets underway. The future of My Hero Academia Though the manga concluded in 2023, creator Kohei Horikoshi still has his sights set on the bigger world of My Hero Academia with bonus material like the Ultra Archive book. These additional materials continue to unlock fascinating insights into our colorful cast, even dark and twisted villains such as All For One, and provide viewers with even more to ponder as the anime approaches its final chapter.
