Another reason why I started liking the LoV, specifically Shig, is because he’s a good leader. I mean, he’s definitely still learning, but tbh he’s doing better than All Might.
What I mean is that Shigaraki doesn’t become a pillar, he needs the support of the others around him to be functional and actually get stuff done unlike All Might who tends to push people away and do everything himself to make it look like he’s invincible. What I like about bnha is that there is this undertone message seen through the villains that you can’t do it alone. Essentially that’s where All Might failed. He became the single thing holding society together and once he was gone shit starts to hit the fan.
But Shigaraki on the other hand, he knows he needs a team. He knows that he has to put his faith in other people in order to get the job done (as seen in that one scene where Toga and Twice are questioning why he’s giving them a task to fuck shit up with Overhaul and he’s just like “because I trust you”). All Might asks people to put faith in him, Shigaraki takes it one step further and puts his faith in other people.
Whereas All Might is empowered by the people, Shigaraki empowers people. Its even obvious with the way All Might trains Deku (or at least when he’s starting out). During the Sportsfest, All Might wanted Deku to show the world he was here, just like Toshinori did during his first Sportsfest. He wants Deku to be the next Symbol of Peace. But thats not right, he’s just trying to groom another All Might. A real teacher teaches a student how to be themselves, not just another version of the teacher.
Shig s young, so he’s not exactly looking for a successor, but the way he interacts with the league, its not like he wants them to be like him or conform or agree to everything he says. He understands their pushbacks and all. Shig helps the league be themselves. That why you get some pretty wide ranged personalities in there. I think the big reason I like Shigaraki is because he doesn’t want people to rely on him, he gives them a avenue to be something more than what they are.
Much like Deku to his classmates, the league sees Shigaraki and wants to be better and to do something. Unlike Deku tho, Shigaraki isn’t there as their competitor, he acts as their pathway.
I don’t know if any of that makes sense but this is just a longwinded way of saying you can’t do it alone. Not because you actually can’t, but because the world is bigger than just you.
The most powerful hero isn’t the one that has the power to save everyone, but the one that shows people they have the power inside themselves.
