My Hero Academia Revealed the True Reason Villains Are Born With One Subtle Final Hint
A subtle callback in chapter 427 of My Hero Academia reminds fans that villains aren’t just created out of nothing, and that they can be stopped.
My Villain Academia Is A Comic Book Written By Spinner
Izuku suggesting to Spinner that he should write a comic bookabout Shigaraki and the League of Villains is not just a thoughtless comment. This statement shows that the manga foreshadowed that Spinner fulfilled his goal of spreading the tale of the LoV, sinceMy Villain Academia’s Arcis narrated by him. During the arc,Spinner describes the events in first person and refers to the league’s actions as their ‘tale’ just as he said he would write, which proves that My Villain Academia is a comic written by him.
This not only explains why the arc focuses exclusively on the League of Villains but also the way it’s presented.My Hero Academiais a story narrated in retrospective by Izuku about he and his friends became the greatest heroes, but sinceSpinner declares that Shigaraki was his hero, this proves that there are different types of them, whose stories also deserve to be told. However,Izuku was not the right person to share Shigaraki’s story; his friend and comrade Spinner was, someone who came to care about him and understand him better.
My Villain Academia, written by Spinner, gave the League of Villains the backstory they needed without redeeming them. It wasn’t meant to change the villain’s personalities, but to show them and give others a better understanding of who they were and their circumstances.
This was Spinner’s purpose, meaning he will get to share their story with the world, showing that villains are more than what they seem on the outside. This reinforcesMy Hero Academia’s message that everyone in need deserves help, which could avoid tragedies like what happened with Shigaraki.
