My Hero Academia fans call out \u201cone of the worst writing decisions\u201d in the franchise CrunchyrollNow that My Hero Academia is over, fans are looking back through the story, and they\u2019ve settled on a pretty big missed opportunity from Kohei Horikoshi. The My Hero Academia ending brought closure to most avenues of the beloved franchise. We see what happened to Deku and his Class 1-A peers, as well as All Might, all with a sprinkling of inspiring messaging. A big aspect of the conclusion was Deku defeating Shigaraki and All For One. As dust settles on their final bout, a particular choice involving the villains isn\u2019t sitting well with readers. It turns out All For One was puppeteering Shigaraki for much of his life. According to fans on a Reddit thread, this undercuts deeper thematic connotations. Whereas Shigaraki had been established as a negative producer of the superhero hierarchy, this much simpler explanation robs him of more depth. \u201cAll For One ruined Shiggy quite a bit with the Reverse Flash crap he pulled. The decay reveal was fine but the planning his birth and making his dad abuse him,\u201d one comment adds in a thread that dubs the moment \u201cone of the worst\u201d twists in the franchise. \u201cThe part where All For One orchestrated Shigaraki\u2019s actual birth was bizarre,\u201d echoes another comment. \u201cGiven Shigaraki didn\u2019t even end up being saved by Deku in the end anyway, I wonder what was going through Horikoshi\u2019s mind for him to go down this route,\u201d a third adds. There\u2019s an abundance of evil piled onto All For One that seems convenient at first \u2013 making him the ultimate baddie so we have straight good vs evil in the last battle \u2013 but it undercuts other aspects of the story. Consistency isn\u2019t Kohei\u2019s strong suit, though \u2013 look at Deku\u2019s father. Regardless, it\u2019s done now. We still have the superhero anime, though, and our guides to My Hero Academia: You\u2019re Next and Season 7 will keep you up to date on those.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
