[@CupOfTaeWithAKookie]

@@jayomega2717 I think it's more about how Shigaraki accidentally killed his family when his powers first appeared, just like how Eri made her dad dissapeared. And after that Eri was taken in by Overhaul, a villain who wanted to use her for her powers, just like Shigaraki was taken in by All For One. The only difference is, a hero came for Eri, and she was rescued. Nobody came for Shigaraki, which is why he is who he is today.

[@blackzephyre]

It's kinda crazy how much now with this backstory, Shigaraki and Deku's stories mirror each other. Both grew up wanting to be heroes, but for separate reasons, their dreams were rejected. They were eventually "saved" each by their own masters. during Season 1 was when they both spread their wings, Season 2 both of them had their ideals cultivated by their interactions with Stain, Season 3 they both "lost" their masters. Season 4, Deku fought and defeated someone with a similar dismantling quirk to Shigaraki, Season 5 Shigaraki is now fighting someone with a similar percentage/power-up quirk to Midoriya, and season 6 is where their paths are gonna converge. Horikoshi did it so naturally and so well many might've missed this amazing parallel.

[@bloodyredfox]

Also I think in season 4, both of them met an ideal version of themshelves. Deku meet Mirio, who is still in high school like him, but have a charisma and quirk mastery that Deku doesn't have. Shigaraki meet Overhaul, who is a better quirk user, has greater ambition, and leads a very powerful and organized organization.

In the manga, these chapters were AMAZING. The animation on this episode wasn't the best, besides of having lot of censure for obvious reasons, but it was still on point. However, the ost in Shimura's flashback was INSANE.

[@FrostiOrca]

Thing is with the Backstory is that this was A build-up of stress and abuse and when he went to others for help, They didn't do anything besides tell him "it's okay" and "your father means well". While Shiggy is 5 YEARS OLD, Being abused for even mentioning the thing that he loves and dreams about. so when he lashes out he at first is scared but deep down he knows. His sister threw him to the wolves basically to save herself. His Mom and Grandparents instead of actually doing something let it continue as long as it didn't go "too far", basically letting him suffer cause it wasn't too bad. And as a kindergartener, he doesn't fully grasp why it's happening, he grasps the "I'm hurting and begging for help, and all of you are watching and doing nothing about it"

[@tariqshort4025]

[@willfanofmanyii3751]

@@sleep5329 He didn't mean to kill his mom and the grandparents either. Shigaraki didn't know how his quirk works yet, so he had no idea what would happen when he kept using his hand to steady himself on the ground.

[@FrostiOrca]

@@willfanofmanyii3751 Correction, Further in He says "Thinking back on it now, I might've already understood by that point." So while he might've not understood how it worked, He at least subconsciously knew he was at least making it happen. He's at a point from a primal sense he's seeking Fairness/justice (Like a True Hero eh). "Ive suffered, so you suffer as well to make it fair". And by the point he kills his father he knows "you need to suffer the most". Now he probably Didnt know he was killing as he ended up Blocking the memory away, But he knew he was hurting them and he was broken to a point he doesn't link the killing to Justice but to Euphoria. If Killing the People who hurt me made me feel this good, I wonder how good id feel killing other things that hurt me, what about things that don't? will that feel good too? killing things makes me feel good so why should i stop?

[@hergie409]

This episode traumatized me

[@tylerbartlett8627]

Just like how she broke apart. Dark humor aside, this episode was...I don't even know what to say

[@Edge-mv3jw]

The thing about Shigaraki, is that he is the foil to Deku. All the way down to what environment they were born into, and both were too young to mentally process what was happening. Where Midoriya wanted to be a hero but didn’t have a quirk at all, and knew he wouldn’t have one, his mother nourished and cherished his dream, even if it broke her heart. In Tomura’s case, he knew he would have a quirk, but his fathers resentment prevented it from being nourished. A parent should want to do things for their child, and have their child be able to look at them knowing they did something to set them in the right direction, rather than not do anything at all and risk the child not getting the direction they need. Even in anime, decent parenting can make all the difference.

I’ve experienced it myself and I still don’t have all of my memories that were suppressed, but even the ones that resurfaced are fragmented and blurry for me still. Shigaraki’s whole origin story is one of my favorite origin stories, Hori did such a good job with his character and this whole episode was very good, it was still very impactful even for missing out on information from the manga

Doing stuff like that kills the vibe and people appreciation for the story, even if it is different from the source material. Not really sure why MHA manga readers don't grasp this.

From Tenko’s origin representation in the anime and the manga, I don’t think Tenko had an itch to kill his whole family, but rather to kill his father. In the manga he said he only had an itch when inside the house, somewhere his father could commonly be found outside of work. In addition, he said “the itch” had finally ceased only after he had killed his father; the person who abused him and caused his trauma. I doubt he woulf have wanted to kill his mother since she was the only caring and somewhat helpful person in his childhood besides All For One.

This was brutal in the manga and it honestly made me feel sick to my stomach seeing how it all went down.

The other reasons Shigaraki's father was is such a negative head space is his own father died shortly before he was put in foster care. Plus Shimura told everyone she knew not to go looking for him. Kotaro had nobody to talk and grieve to.

[@wanna-be-thinker2377]

The Shimuras (Nana and her husband) were doomed either way once Nana got OFA. While how she handled Kotaro is up for debate, and thinking/hoping she defeat AFO was unrealistic at the time, but she at least knew both that AFO killed her husband and she would not survive battling him. She did what she did to save him from getting killed by his parents killer (obviously it didn't work). And since she couldn't tell him about either AFO or OFA, she tried to explain as much as she felt she could in that letter. Unfortunately, the letter seem to make it worse, and Kotaro started thinking like Kota initially was thinking only with noone/nothing to come along to change his mind.

I'm glad that Roshi isn't giving the animators too much slack for this season. For anime watchers to understand just how much they've messed up this season so far, go back and watch/read the season 2 plus its corresponding chapters. What happened to all that passion, the high impact scenes that shaped the industry? There was so much plot opportunity to do that this season and they've fallen very noticeably short of the mark.

The disappointing fight aside, the backstory itself was done fairly well. They left some stuff out, and toned the gore down, but the atmosphere was still right, and the music only helped it. Pretty good adaptation tbh

[@Charley-ju6yg]

@@candc8417 it’s more cause the animals feels unnecessary. Killing humans serves a purpose, unless it’s just mass slaughter, and even then it builds the darker tone of things of the villain killing so many people. But for animals it just feels like they didn’t have to do that. Also, there’s the fact that the animals also didn’t do anything wrong. Like in this instance, his family let him down, but what did the dog do?

[@Cheesepoop]

I think any manga art will look better than the anime simply because of the amount of detail they’re able to put in one panel but that’s just me

[@Phasmania]

I preferred the Tenko backstory in the anime quite a bit, but the Re-Destro fight had a couple weird looking shots with the art. The actual origin segment was very close to perfection though

[@andri7037]

I just read the chapters and it's literally the same thing as the anime lol, people get pressed when a single drop of blood in the manga isn't in the anime 💀 It's obvious that each manga art will look better than the anime since they can detail it as much as possible and they don't have to animate it

[@josuegarro5437]

Yeah, in this case, Horikoshi stands among the greatest mangakas when it comes to his panels, I put him at the same level as Murata and he barely has breaks, he's pretty consistent, comparing still frames of actual animation to his manga is unfair

[@sheevpalpatine6139]

The itch wasnt the itch to kill them. The itch was a result of a partial manifestation of his quirk. It made his skin constantly irritated, thus why the mom said they couldn't figure out what he was allergic to, but since she had medicine for it, it's safe to assume the doctor determined it was physical and not mental

[@briannalee1998]

8:24 omg I didn’t catch that! That was a good pickup and detail how they were all itching. On another note, his sister was really pretty and she looked so much like Nana! Even though she was a snitch who betrayed him, its still a shame the brother/sister superhero team never happened! I think besides Tenko, the mom suffered the most because she was married to an abuser, watched him hurt her son, tried to stop him, but couldn’t, wasn’t able to stop her son’s suffering, then she watched her daughter die, then was murdered by her own son. It’s so tragic because this episode made his desire to be a hero so similar to Deku, that it’s easy to imagine an alternate timeline where he became a hero and didn’t kill his family. The dad did try to kill him after what he did (even though it was clearly an accident since he was 5, and the kid was clearly traumatized), but the mom, to her credit, seemed like she wanted to help Tenko when she reached out to him, even after what she witnessed. The worst part was the dog’s death. No one can change my mind.

[@joshuaanderson7027]

his dad didnt try to kill him (he was just scared) you make it seem like all the blame is on the dad (alot of the blame is still on him tho) but at the end of the day this all goes back to afo he did care as he wouldn't have said he took it to far after reading the letter it was all just horrible timing he was gonna apologize too also she said in the scene where the family opens the door (if your going to raise your hand against the kids then i wont follow your rules)implying that was the first time he hit shigaraki i feel like the family is part to blame too they should have put their foot down like they did the same scene the dad cleary wasn't violent with the family members i when they spoke up he wasnt mean to them so i feel like the dad is getting bashed to much even tho alot of it is his fault

[@CorwinTheOneAndOnly]

The anime censored the hell out of this too. In the manga, this was the first big drop of what was essentially proper gore. He didn't turn them into dust as he crumbled them, cracks merely formed in their flesh until their fleshy, bloody bodies fell apart onto him.
