When I translate it as “looking forward to”, it’s in the fun way. That’s the literal translation. 「楽しみにしてた｣ is used for waiting for fun things, enjoyable things. That horizon - it’s something Spinner will be excited for, it’s something Spinner will be happy about, Shigaraki is saying.
That’s what Shigaraki is thinking at the moment - he’s thinking about Spinner’s feelings, Spinner’s enjoyment. He’s gonna build the horizon, because a member of his League wants it, because someone he cares for - at the very least to a degree enough to consider their desires and feelings - will like it.
So Shigaraki is currently the incarnation of destruction— but he’s partly doing this for someone else’s sake - A friend, a teammate, whatever Spinner means to him. He’s destroying the world that created that awful house; he’s destroying the world where he’s witnessed so much rot. He’s destroying the world because this is not a world where the League, including himself, has a future in, much less a bright one; where they can live easy lives; where they can be themselves in.
Shigaraki Tomura destroys not because he’s “ruin itself”, as the vestiges says, but because he wants his friends to be happy. He’s doing all this because of the connections he’s made with other people, because he values that connection to want to do right by them… and that is literally one of the most human thing a person could possibly do.
And hopefully, Deku caught that. I think he did, because he flashes back to Shigaraki in Chapter 379, talking about what will save him - “the destruction of everything stemming from that house”; he flashes back to Uraraka in Chapter 342, saying she doesn’t know what Toga considers ‘normal/reasonable/right’.
And Deku says, from what I can make out, “it’s all connected.” Deku’s been looking for something that made villains turned out the way he did (Chapter 305), that makes Shigaraki tick (Chapter 308), that explains the crying boy - and maybe, he’s finally found it from Shigaraki’s words.
tho i’m biased of course. cuz this makes spinner very significant <3
Other point: Shigaraki wants to create the horizon that Spinner is excited for, because that’s what he believes at the moment, because it’s what Spinner had wanted a few months ago, when they last interacted before Shigaraki went into surgery/then got possessed/all those shenanigans.
However, last we saw Spinner, Spinner’s deepest desire - what he valued most, what spur him to move when he was at his limit, what he requested for Kurogiri to save - is gamer time with Shigaraki his friendship with Shigaraki.
Quite the discrepancy! Perhaps it’ll be made aware of and solved.
