In MHA 5x24 Tomura Shigaraki Origins, it's all HANDS on deck for the villain crew as Shigaraki gains the upper HAND in the battle against Re-Destro, who gets to witness first HAND the power of freedom. Shigaraki gets his HANDS in all the pies.
Comments
I noticed that while having only watched the dub of this part, but I can see how it's easily missed or overlooked with everything else going on. How does the sub version handle it differently?

2022-01-20 21:05:07 +0000 UTCThe one thing I think the dub of this episode fails to convey very well is that young Shigaraki really needed the exact same thing as Midoriya but was denied it. Shigaraki says, "what I needed to hear" and it's the same thing Deku "needed to hear" when All Might told him, "You can become a hero".

2022-01-19 22:01:39 +0000 UTCThe last hand Shigaraki still has is not his dad's. He destroyed his dad's with his quirk after the flashback. The remaining hand is most likely the mysterious "extra" all for one gave him back then. That hand is most likely to be very important.

2022-01-19 09:25:45 +0000 UTCI've lived in Texas since I was 4 or 5, and you're absolutely right. Even growing up here it has always felt super artificial the way people talk to each other and fake kindness. I have a lot of family in the east coast and visiting there at least once per year I'm always jealous of how much more casual it feels if that makes sense. It feels real I also really dislike how people will say things like "bless your heart" in the south, or immediately ask you what church you go to, etc. There are definitely parts of Texas I do love though

2022-01-19 05:06:40 +0000 UTCSo, I haven't finished watching yet but just needed to say that I moved to New York a little over two years ago and I wholeheartedly agree about New Yorkers getting a bad rap and actually being very willing to help when they know they aren't going to be taken advantage of. I think, too, it's with less 'fake kindness' and to a lot of people that reads as rude instead of just not dripping with sugar. I've said this a lot to people because I'm from Texas, and being raised in the south I always hated people stopping and being kind to me or talking super sweet to me. Not because receiving kindness isn't nice, but because it so rarely felt genuine. It so rarely felt like wanting to help you for the sake of helping you and it always felt corrupt by something. There were genuine people, sure, but they were a bit more rare. In that way, I appreciate kindness from New Yorkers so much more. It's genuine and void of the sickly sweet, self serving kindness I often encountered in the south. So when people ask me about New Yorkers being super mean or missing Texas, that's usually my answer.

2022-01-19 04:09:36 +0000 UTCIs this the worst possible outcome? Must be pretty close at least, I was hoping they'd take each other out. It's horrible, but at the same time you just can't help but admire how far the LoV has come. Interesting that you should bring that up, the feeling of hopelessness, comparing the Villains' progress to the Heroes'. That's part of the rearranging of arcs, I think. I remember when I read this I also felt pretty hopeless, but then it's followed by the Endeavor internship arc, which made me feel a lot better. Coz it shows the kids growing and getting more experience, and Hawks is looking into the PLF and alerting the Heroes to prepare, so you're left with this impression that while the situation is dire, it's not hopeless. There's a chance. It's part of why I don't like the switch. I used to think they did it to keep the tension going into S6 and because they thought it would be more tonally consistent than going from this to the Christmas stuff, but now it just seems like they were trying to line up the release of the movie exactly with the Endeavor internship arc (because Movie 3 is set during that time frame), and that was totally unneccessary. I mean, it's good enough that they air around the same time, you didn't have to go that far, it's not like they cared that Movie 2 had spoilers for S5. But anyway, since you mentioned that AfO is likely a father figure for Shigaraki, I find it interesting that the memories of his actual father always zero in on the face, while flashback AfO's face is always in shadows. At most, we see white hair and a sinister grin, but mostly, it's just the black suit, like a symbol? Obviously, there could be story reasons for that, but it's something that stood out to me.

2022-01-18 21:48:32 +0000 UTCOne detail I adore from the manga, and the anime actually did it pretty well too, was when Shigaraki "levelled up" so to speak, became truly liberated. In addition to his hair turning fully white, his speech bubbles changed. In the past, pretty much all of his speech bubbles were jagged and rough. But after that moment, they were drawn smooth and round as everyone elses. The way they did it in the anime was to have him go from a agigated, scratchy voice to much more clear and enunciated.

2022-01-18 06:21:34 +0000 UTCIt’s amazing just how much Shigaraki has at the end of this episode. Wealth. Tens of thousands of liberation soldiers. His “leveled up” League that can copy any power and create thousands of copies. The strongest of the Liberation front (Geten, Redestro). Weapons (Detnerat corp). Media (Skeptics company). 30+ In development super nomus from the doctor (each one stronger than Endeavor). Gigantomachia’s raw power and size. Then you wrap it up with Tomura’s unlocked quirk, that can destroy cities with a touch. ……….. and then the doctor promises a surgery that can grant MORE.

2022-01-18 06:21:14 +0000 UTCI don't think that last hand is his dad's but I don't want to say who I think it belonged to...All for One did say that one was a "bonus,"

2022-01-18 05:52:33 +0000 UTCAlso, unrelated but is AOT happening this week?
Jake White
2022-01-18 04:34:00 +0000 UTCYes!! Same exact summation of the arc that I had and was hoping that you would come away with as well. It’s so fun and refreshing to get villains with long-running improvements arcs and the payoff is so satisfying. A+ writing to have them all be so equally terrifying and captivating lol
Jake White
2022-01-18 04:30:17 +0000 UTCLmao it's been so amazing going back and forth over the past week or so from Shigaraki to Yuki. But yeah this episode in some ways feels like the "end" or I guess just a very validating culmination of the villain journey so far. With this as sort of an end piece, everything else that came before it has more meaning and feels more satisfying.
Alex G
2022-01-18 04:17:35 +0000 UTCBecause almost everything else related to that bit was cut from the anime. You’d have to read the manga version to understand it.

2022-01-18 04:02:12 +0000 UTCMy favorite part of the arc is when Spinner was like “I don’t have any goals” and then we just don’t see him for the rest of the arc 😂. Trumpet and the mob just ditches him

2022-01-18 03:30:41 +0000 UTCDid he watch any of the MHA OVAs? I can't remember.
Merfhew
2022-01-18 03:25:53 +0000 UTCMy favourite thing about all this is that ReDestro enters as this powerful, suave villain, and leaves as Shigaraki's eager simp and pay pig. Absolutely iconic.
Muchymozzarella
2022-01-18 03:24:53 +0000 UTCOne thing that the dub captured better, I couldn’t even tell they were different in the sub…
Matthew Richson
2022-01-18 03:24:00 +0000 UTCI really like the spin on what happened, it was probably done by factions of the liberation army within the media. Their goal was to change the way people view quirks and heroes, and a city banding together without heroes using their quirks is a good way to show that.
Kamolak
2022-01-18 03:22:31 +0000 UTC1 more episode left in the longest journey on the Goodwin Channel. 113 episodes, 2 movies, its been a long enjoyable ride. Gonna be a new era for this channel with no MHA, especially with Fruits Basket uploads dying on the YouTube so it been just My Hero on the youtube for crazy long. Pretty exciting that we're gonna be getting Arcane soon which will bring in new peoples and views...than two entire new shows that are popularity decided and will definitely bring in lots of youtube people compared to just FruBa. Exciting couple a months ahead of us on the channel, I'm hyped.

2022-01-18 03:18:19 +0000 UTCWhile I was reading this in the manga my thought was "Oh good the two villain groups will destroy each other." Then it ended... "Oh no."
Sage
2022-01-18 03:06:16 +0000 UTCLol aww I miss the kids too. And no, as good as their internships were, they aren't ready for all this. Yike! I really appreciate Horikoshi putting in this much thought into bulking up the villains. They started at the USJ w just Shigaraki and Warp dude and a bunch of randoms, then cultivated the vanguard squad for the Training Camp Arc and had their first taste of putting chinks in the armor of society. Chilled out for most of the SH arc but came in clutch to steal Overhaul's bullets. Now, this. Shigaraki just kept failing up. Now he's at the top of the evil heap! I thought he was so uninteresting at first and wanted stronger, more compelling villains back in S2. Love that Eric Vale smoothed out his voice as indicated in the manga typeface. Now we get to see you react to him one more time as Yuki Soma before Fruits Basket is over ;__;

2022-01-18 03:04:05 +0000 UTCI love how shigaraki hair change color again first time was black to like a bluish gray color this time it goes to straight white when he powers up

2022-01-18 02:39:24 +0000 UTCHuh, guess the comment I typed out was too big… it keeps disappearing! But I guess it goes without saying that the villains have become terrifying now.
Matthew Richson
2022-01-18 02:18:49 +0000 UTCTwice crying over the death of clone Toga was super funny and kinda sweet from him! I ship those two big time, they are both easily my two favorite villains in the show excluding Shigaraki ofc. Kinda terrified at what Toga is gonna do to our Class 1-A heroes the next time they fight… probably nothing good will happen I can tell ya that much.
