[MHA] The Symbol of Fear Awakens.

[@wandererofthevoid54]

It's hard to believe that Shigaraki started out as a 1-note, uninteresting villain. His growth was unlike any other villain I've seen

[@DivineAdversity777]

That’s one of many reasons I adore the guy so much lol Like FR he started out completely fucking 1 dimensional! Like “Oh ok he’s another of those types who destroy for no goddamn reason”. …Then he actually WOKE UP and we finally get to see exactly WHY he ended up like that (AFO. Who would’ve thought right? 🤣). And most of all, what his ACTUAL thoughts/feelings are. And it’s a night/day difference compared to Tomaru BEFORE that point!

[@wandererofthevoid54]

@@DivineAdversity777 Exactly! The only thing S1 shiggy had going for him was his creepy/badass appearance. But he slowly grows throughout the series. The scene I believe exemplifies it the most is when Shiggy holds Deku hostage at the mall. Now, that scene also shows the broken nature of the hero society. But, the very *idea* of the villain going to the *hero* for help is absolutely insane! It shouldn't work/shouldn't be a thing! But it does! It's such a masterpiece of a scene and was *the* scene that made me fall in love with mha. For some people, Todoroki vs. Deku was *their* scene. For others it was Deku, Ida, and Todoroki vs. Stain. But for me, Shiggy talking to Deku at the mall was it.

[@Oakland510]

7 years of build up. i literally didnt care about him all these years when he was some emo goof until we got his backstory in s5e23 which frankly saved the entire show at that point and then the following episode where he fully awakened from rememebring that tragic past. since then, he has brought MHA to the big leagues. First half of S6 was a near enough 10/10 all due to him

[@ClaudioProductionsX]

He went from team-rocket from pokemon level of menace straight out to fricking Hao Asakura from Shaman King, if not more dangerous.

this villain is trash

[@nobuffer101]

Shigaraki's speech is even more true when you consider the fact that Endeavor and the named heroes in the hospital quickly ignored the other heroes present in the hospital who definitely couldn't escape Decay except for Crust. While protecting themselves is the practical solution, and they could only save as much as they could, the heroes in the hospital that had no chance of escaping deserve an F for that *MASSIVE* L.

[@anthonyrodriguez8788]

What few Heroes that were fast enough to escape grabbed as many people as they could. You can even see a ton of the Hospital Heroes riding on Ryukuo.

[@iamnotamouseok]

Basically did to one city what Thanos did to half the entire universe. And YET. This one has SO MUCH MORE IMPACT. My heart literally dropped when the wave swept through the city and the people running in terror just started crumbling. MCU and DCU step up your game.

[@ShhadowYT]

This is the exact reason i love MHA! You put a bunch of characters in a situation that make them all panic and it becomes the most tense scene ever. MHA has a lot of these because they love people setting up plans but the plans go wrong, so when both sides got nothing it's just a brawl

[@A.H.goose1]

Bros trying to act like infinity war didn’t break the internet

[@Silver_meteor0418]

They both were masterpieces in their own right. What Shigaraki did was more impactful because you could instantly feel the amount of devastation he caused in 1 move. Thanos move, however, didnt just affect a small area on a small planet, but the entirety of the cosmos. We werent able to see it, but we have the knowledge that half of life was wiped out, and afterwards plenty more had also died due to the loss of key figures because of said wipe.

This scene was honestly horrifying to watch for me, such immense destruction that couldn’t be stopped, hell couldn’t even be slowed for more than a second Shigaraki really became one of the most powerful characters in MHA in this moment

[@Oakland510]

i think he became outright the most powerful here. i mean quirkless shigaraki due to aizawa was fighting the number 1 hero with ease + 10 others. Crazy

I do believe that the theme that was used for the destruction of Jaku was a slower, more dramatic version of Symbol of Fear. Ngl tho I'm having massive chills seeing the scene all over again with Symbol of Fear in the back. Props, mate!

it really was! I checked now, its like symbol of fear but with slower, lower notes!

That theme is called "All for My Sake", you'll understand why after the lastest episode from last week. It has elements of Symbol of Fear in it.

[@oimenamesrick]

@@SparkerZed One of my favorites out of the Season 6 OST so far. I believe I heard All For One/Shigaraki say "it's all for my sake" as he was talking to Spinner.

@@oimenamesrick Exactly. “Subete boku wa tame ni”

[@Oakland510]

I would have preferred this theme especially that part from 2:09 to have been used in that scene in s5 when shigaraki awakened against redestro and destroyed the city with the image of him laughing

[@justbitwin]

Probably the best episode of BNHA so far.

[@ClaudioProductionsX]

incredible how Tomura went from being nearly a comic-relief level of villain to being the biggest menace of the whole series. That sensation of being overwhelmed, the sheer pressure of power that even bringing the best of the best, they can't even stop him not even a little.

[@PsychoHelmetAnimations01]

just imagine this with mha movie animation details

[@soumyadeepmondal6130]

The music used in this scene "All for my sake" is literally a slowed down version of the Symbol of Fear, so yeah MHA indeed created a alternate version of Symbol of Fear and made it even more scarier IMO though.

[@Oakland510]

The melody at 2:09 should have played when he was destructing with his cape hovering at 1:17. Otherwise great edition to this scene, this OST is so good

My heart sinks watching the heroes grab every civilian they can carry. It's not what I'm seeing, but what I'm not seeing that makes me feel that. I can't help but wonder how many people they couldn't grab because they weren't on the right street, or stuck in a building, or just generally unprepared for what happened. Sure, not that many named characters died, but you know that many people, probably children among them, have died.

Just think, that attack is weaker than a nuclear bomb… and we have those right now. We’ve even used those on others, and people are threatening nuclear war to this day so that they can carry out territorial expansion.

[@zzmechpp7782]

Tbf, nuclear warheads are indiscriminate in its destruction, are very expensive, and not easy to launch. While shigraki could just wipe out an entire city whenever he feels like it, all he needs is just some food and rest before he could go again, he could selectively decay stuffs as well so he would be more efficient as a weapon to use in an invasion cause using nukes would render whatever territory you want to claim to be inhospitable. Also, he could have children, or the doctor could clone him or at least his quirk, whereas nukes are still reliant on finite resources, so at one point or another, we would run out of resources to build one(atleast on this planet).

When I saw tis I was like DANG SHIG. He jus woke up in the matter of secs. Then touch the ground then bang evrything was decaying, most the heroes didnt make it. The rest outside. Shoto used his ice to stop it for a sec. Kacchan literally was holding citizens with his legs and passing them to Deku and Uraraka in the bus while flying as a rocket. Evrybody was running. Then it zooms out in on the citys cameras all u see is static from when they're destroyed, then at satellite range, the destruction capacity was an atomic bomb. Then calms down after.
