There’s more than a few heroes in this series that would make pretty terrifying villains and Mushroom Girl is definitely near the top of the list.

Seven idiots and a bear walk into a dragon's lair.

I can't believe the last time we saw Spinner and Trumpet, they were about to square up, then the next episode just has Trumpet having bailed and Spinner left abandoned on the streets. Absolutely no respect given to my boy.

on the other hand, i like the fact that the leader is his son that never even met him. it adds this idea of u not even being sure of how much of re-destros ideology has anything to do with destro himself or with destros mother, despite how strongly he feels for it.

It's been a while, but I think given the timelines involved with Destro that Re-destro isn't Destro's son, he's just descended from Destro.

I know the MHA wiki said that it's a father/son relationship at one point, but I remember doing some research on that back when the chapters came out and it turned out that it was one of the many errors that crop up on anime wikis.

would add up w/ the latest episode having a dialogue going "weve been hiding for generations" during the badass scene w/ the cool song. still, what i said applies anwyays

Shiggy's an abused child who hates hero society because it abandoned him when he needed it the most, and who was groomed into more of a monster by All for One.

There's a lot more in play than just "likes doing evil things".

Nah, it basically lines up perfectly with what Shigaraki said way way back when he snagged Izuku at the mall. He was irritated at how much All Might smiled, "As if there was nobody he couldn't save". This gives a lot of context to that- nobody saved Shigaraki when he really needed it, even though there were many chances from beginning to "end" for it to happen.

There's also some missing bits and pieces- in the manga if you pay attention to Shigaraki's room, it starts to fill up with toys and a computer as All For One basically helps him extinguish what's left of his conscience. He was a wreck when those thugs beat him up in that alley yet he still resisted killing them because there was just a bit of Tenko left, and All For One goads him into snuffing the rest of it out. It's actually great how much it underscores what a manipulative piece of poo poo All For One is- he's pretty thinly characterized but overall you get this picture of a guy who needs to be in control at all times and is unbelievably gratified by rubbing salt in the wounds. He does this with All Might too with how he taunts him while also fully expecting and preparing for All Might to pull out the Shonen Battle Manga hero poo poo where they squeeze out every last drop of gas in the tank.

he comes across to me as a person who became so powerful the whole world was just a sandbox for him to play in, and all might was the first time someone strong enough to challenge him came and shoved him over his criminal sand castle. he's scared of all might and doesn't like what happened, but to him ultimately all might still exists in this world that's always been all for one's toy, he's still playing.

i mean i guess that's not really knowable given that it was shown as a memory, dude was standing on his chunky dad surrounded by his bloody chunked family and dog and grinning and saying he loved murder

Maybe you could excersize some reading of facial expressions and contextual clues from what people are saying around the character it concerns.

He's going to be defeated by Midoriya, broken and on the verge of death, giving him a hug.

"Turning stress into muscles/armor/magic fireballs" is a useful quirk for a kid who has all that expectation thrust upon him. It'd be funny if like, some super casual surfer dude, had that quirk. "Oh, me? I'm quirkless, bro! Great waves today!"

Up until he has to win the surf championship to save the local combination animal shelter/orphanage/rec center from greedy land developers.
