Shigaraki Gets Reincarnated As Deku’s Student

Rather than reincarnated, I think it was a boy who was about to BECOME the next Shigaraki Tomura, but the granny this time prevented it from happening.

I also agree, this is more of a case of someone being given a another chance to do something different that will have a more positive outcome than what they first chose all those years ago.

[@wholesome_masochist4113]

@@wake6000 It's not directly stated, but it's shown on more then one occasion. Deku, wants to be a hero in spite of being quirkless, his best friend proceeds to bully him to the point of trying to get him to off himself for over a decade. Gentle, tries to help someone he sees falling, the hero then proceeds to ruin his life, relationship with his parents, and future so he ends up as a villain. Dabi, also wants to be a hero, and isn't allowed to even train with his quirk in the slightest when endeavor of all people could've tried for some support equipment, and then throws him to the damn wayside the moment shoto is born, and later triggers the ice quirk he always had but was replaced for himself. Tenko Shimura, gets beaten within an inch of his life for daring to want to be a hero, and then his father attempted to fucking murder him when his quirk activated, (granted it did kill his sister and mom, but still trying to beat your obviously distraught son to death isn't the way to go) and then after the fact was looking like he just got out of a week in the Somme and passed over by dozens if not hundreds of people who figured "oh a hero will deal with this".

Buddy the deal with Hitler is that he was a courier and often not exactly in the trench charging suicide runs. Not to mention it was world war 1 at the time. This lady sees a child coming down the street looking like he got isakai'd straight from the Somme, and said "screw him, a hero will handle it" before All for One shows up. You cannot compare the two. Especially since if anything, the prime minister of France at the time (Georges Clemanceau I believe his name was) happened to be all in for saddling Germany with the blame for WW1 despite it being an Austria and Serbia problem first and foremost after a serb killed the leader of Austria. All in all, the allies set the stage for world war two, and it bit them all in the ass. So don't even try to compare someone that just got out of a losing war and straight into the great depression and someone who lives in perfect peace time, the era of fucking all might, and still decides to be a shit person.

[@garrettviewegh9028]

That really seems to be the case with the Shiguraki and other villains. Well, all the others. They needed help, and instead were scorned and shunned. While a tragic past doesn’t excuse what they did, and most would say Toga was an ugly, horrid monster that deserved a fate worse than death, the villains say the heroes aren’t real heroes. Heroes and society failed them. Some seem to have learned, and may offer them the help these broken people need to get better. Help that last villains didn’t get. While they may be remembered and hated as monsters, any would-be villains may get a chance they didn’t.

[@leoultimaupgraded9914]

Instead of fully realizing her mistake, she learns the more important lesson of being kind to others who’s going through a really rough time, and showing them compassion Thinking more on this, if she knew that boy she left was Shigaraki, the lesson wouldn’t have stuck as well as her just abandoning a boy to wallow in his misery. either way, I really love this moment, and I didn’t even realize the boy she did save showed up in the final chapter, becoming a student of MHA, thats awesome

For evil to prosper, it takes good people standing by and doing nothing. This may have just been the case of showing another Shiguraki could’ve happened. But after all the strife everyone went through, it seems some of society learned that those broken people that would become villains, need help. They need a guiding, gentle hand to help them heal. That’s what all the villains among Shigraki needed. And where are they? All dead, and likely will be hated and remembered by most as monsters that deserved fates worse than death. But here, we see a change where a new wave of would-be villains get the help their predecessors desperately needed.

[@wholesome_masochist4113]

And the moment spinner exposes that hypocrisy in his book, he'll likely run into "accidents" and his book burned. After all, that's exactly the sort of shit hero society would do after all, it wouldn't last without forcing people into villain roles to prop up the heroes.

[@kyradreamer4769]

I heard someone say that there's a few good people and a few bad people, but most of us are just people and can be swayed one way or another depending on the circumstances and I think that's what rings true here. If you stand by and ignore the suffering of others when you could've done something without putting yourself at risk, you aren't a good person. It doesn't make you the scum of the earth, but people have a hard time coming to terms with not being good people or with the fact that they've hurt others.

This felt like a more of a breaking the cycle moment than reincarnation.

That civilians can’t just pass off every problem to the heroes, partly cause it’s not as many of them left, but also because it can get out of hand very quickly.

The entire series of MHA is a showing of how, regardless of horrendous power, regardless of heinous intention... ultimately, you could move a mountain, but that doesn't make you a hero... what makes heroes is the ability to rise above their suffering, to rise above their past... what makes a hero is a heart.

[@Cure-Skywalker]

This scene should have been the last pages of MHA. This scene perfectly encapsulates the themes and message of the story, that anyone can be a hero regardless of who you are, that you only need compassion, empathy and kindness to change the life of others and that what it seems to be a small act of kindness may have ripples that change the world. The kid is indeed a Tomura analog, he is foreshadow as the next big villan having a similar backstory as Tomura. However a crucial moment changes his story, instead of being left alone, helpless, he is 'rescued' by a granny passing by and thus this simple act of kindness implies the kid won't be the next Tomura, because this time the small, hurt boy who needed the most help really received it thus changing not only hisnlife, but the course of history.

I think it shows that a small act of kindness can change someone’s life 🤷

Bro the amount of pain he must be feeling when he talks he deserves better😭😭😭

Granny didn’t ignore Shigaraki, she ignored Tenko. They are two distinct psyches and personalities, and Tomura didn’t exist yet.

Best character development in all of anime

[@AF73REditz]

He wasnt a reincarnation (he was alive the same time as shigiraki) but it shows that shigaraki's messege of "people wont help cause they take for granted that heroes always will" did sink in and society was changing for the better.

[@Ardeleus]

In a society where everyone believes in one pillar, one person and one group They do not feel they need to do anything "the heroes will take care of it" After the arc, society now shifts towards "we all need to help", "we must take care of it"

It’s almost like that guy who asked where Rogers treasure is but on a smaller scale That grandma started it all
