I really want shiggy to get a redemption arc or something like that. I mean why else would...

maybe to show us he's been evil all along and he willingly decided to join the bad side? yes, his childhood was horrible & he has a reason to be fucked up but look at todoroki. his was almost the same & he didn't decide to turn into a villain. i might have pitied shiggy if he didn't basically like killing his entire family.

But look at Todoroki and Shigaraki, they both had abusive parents but when Tenko got his quirk he didn’t understand what was going on, he thought it was a villain doing it all until his father showed up and he was a child that just realized that his dad was not the best of fathers. And sure Todoroki had a horrible dad too but he had his siblings as a support and when he went to UA where he made friends and had examples of good adults. Not to mention he knew his dad was trash For a long time while tenko had no one to help him and when AFO came to get him he basically manipulated tenko. He had no one to reach out to help him except for a supervillain and Tomura grew up around at the very least three poor examples of adults(AFO&the doctor) that would not be good for the mental development or health of a five year old. And it’s even said that Tomura is a man child, he never got the chance to grow up and mature into an adult. And AFO encouraged that behavior and how can tenko find fault in the only person who ever came to help him when he was alone in the world.

oh wow. u actually have me sympathising with him a little. afo did manipulate him but sadly he'll never realise it since he's the only father figure he knows. i still feel like he's too far gone for a redemption arc tho. he's gotten too powerful, is causing too much destruction and he'll try to achieve his goal no matter what since he hates everyone. maybe if he still had a family member alive they'd be able to convince him but rn the only 1's he'll even listen to are just as bad as he is. the only way i see this ending is with his death. i doubt deku himself would ever forgive him so there's no way anyone else will either.
