We will thoroughly analyze Shigaraki Tomura, the symbol of evil in the smash hit manga "My Hero Academia"! Despite appearing the most, Shigaraki Tomura is shrouded in mystery. By understanding him in detail, you will become even more addicted to "My Hero Academia"!
Who is Shigaraki Tomura?
He has too much impact...!

No matter how many times I see it, it gives me chills. Shigaraki Tomura is the leader of the "Villain Alliance," a criminal group that uses their quirks for evil deeds. Of course, he has not registered his quirk, and Shigaraki Tomura is a pseudonym. His hair is light blue and messy, his skin is dry, and he is always hunched over. His body is morbidly thin, and there are several hands clinging to his upper body. In the USJ raid arc, one of his hands falls off when he is hit by All Might, and he mutters, "I'm sorry, Dad!" It seems likely that it is a real human hand.
Adult or child?

All Might describes his personality as "an adult child with an inflated sense of omnipotence like an infant." If his plans go awry, he scratches his neck and complains, becoming mentally unstable all at once. He is also self-centered and will give up and go home immediately if things go a little differently. And he can get loud if others criticize his opinions. He seems like an adolescent middle school student (lol). Kurogiri gives him advice, but this is my first impression of Shigaraki. After All For One, Shigaraki's "teacher," was imprisoned, he became much calmer and more calm in how he handled things. He also became more cerebral and didn't show himself so much. He now uses his allies (Shigaraki's pawns) to achieve his own wishes. Now that he's independent, he must have developed a sense of responsibility. It's obvious that he will become even more hated and a formidable opponent in the future. Will the day come when Shigaraki will be captured too!?
What is Shigaraki's quirk?
Do you have to be careful in real life...?

His quirk is "destruction." By touching a target with all five fingers, the area of contact crumbles and breaks apart. It feels like hard soil is peeling off, and if it's the whole body, it will be completely destroyed in one minute. Also, in the USJ attack arc, he destroyed the shelter that was the ironclad of U.A. High School, and the target is a wide range. The tricky thing about this quirk (and only for Shigaraki himself) is that it activates when he doesn't intend it to. If all five are in contact with each other it will activate automatically, so he usually keeps one of them separate. I don't think it will accidentally activate on himself, but it is still a quirk that requires careful consideration.
What about Shigaraki's fighting ability?!

It's pretty high. Even in the battle with Eraserhead, he easily dodged the attack and moved several tens of meters in an instant. Even in the middle of the battle, he analyzed Eraserhead's weaknesses and has excellent insight. It shows that he has a lot of experience. He is also cunning and can instantly determine the weak points of his opponents and who is weak. As All For One is trying to make him the symbol of evil, he is quite a formidable opponent! There may be more scenes in the future where Shigaraki fights. I would love to see him fight Deku!
Shigaraki Tomura's true identity...?
A shock to All Might!

Shigaraki Tomura's real name is Shimura Tenko. He is the grandson of Shimura Nana, All Might's master and the predecessor of One For All. Wow, that's just too shocking! Even All Might was shocked and lost his smile. It's hard to have the grandson of your respected master as your enemy! (lol) And of course, after this coming out, All Might can no longer see Shigaraki Tomura as his biggest enemy. He calls him "the son of the previous master" and is unsure whether he'll be able to fight him in the future. It has not yet been made public why he admires All For One, the man who killed Shigaraki's grandmother, or how they met. We're looking forward to seeing what happens next!
Hatred towards All Might...

These are lines he said to All Might, but they could also be taken as words to Shimura Nana. Both All Might and Shimura Nana were always smiling, and Shimura Nana even said, "The people who smile are the strongest in this world." Shigaraki's darkness is deep, and All For One has noticed it. He calls All Might "the trash of society" and is filled with hatred. For All For One, he is the perfect person to take revenge on All Might. Shigaraki is even more hated now than he was at the beginning. Stay tuned to find out when Shigaraki's past will be revealed!
Shigaraki's true face! ?
Finally revealed! ?

Until now, only his left eye has been visible because of the big hand that has always been attached to Shigaraki. This is the first time we've seen Shigaraki's real face! The skin around his eyes is scorched, or maybe it's dry skin. His mouth and right eye are slightly torn. He has a mole near his mouth! This mole is in the exact same place on his grandmother, Shimura Nana. I didn't notice it at first, but there is a commonality like this! There are hints like this in My Hero Academia, so you have to look closely!
Who is Shigaraki?
Who is that deep voice...?
Source: My Hero Academia © Horikoshi Kohei / Shueisha, My Hero Academia Production Committee
Shigaraki's deep voice is voiced by "Utsuyama Kouki". His representative works include Roxas from the game Kingdom Hearts, Sakagami Takumi from the movie The Anthem of the Heart, and Meruem from Hunter x Hunter! He is a very popular voice actor who has played a wide range of roles, from young boys to young men! He portrayed Shigaraki's rough and dark side very well! He has been active since he was a child, so his acting skills are as expected.
Summary of Shigaraki

What did you think? We've delivered a thorough analysis of the hugely popular manga! Shigaraki Tomura from My Hero Academia!
At first, Shigaraki was somewhat unreliable as a villain, but with each episode his presence has grown, and with All For One being imprisoned, he no longer felt a sense of security and has developed a sense of responsibility. He has certainly grown as a villain and become independent. Although he is a hated enemy, his past must have been brutal. Will he ever have a change of heart? Or will he continue down the path of evil and become the "symbol of evil" that All For One desires? Keep an eye on My Hero Academia in the future!
