Despite having a vocal fanbase in the anime community, My Hero Academia has gained notoriety for its portrayal of characters such as Tomura Shigaraki, one of the main villains. Shigaraki, who was originally All For One’s apprentice, has evolved to become the central antagonist of the story. As a result, fans have developed a strong attachment to him and the other members of his villainous group, the League of Villains.
Despite having their own arc in My Hero Academia called My Villain Academia, the League of Villains has undeniably gained a strong following in the fandom. This was evident when a fan-created key visual featuring Shigaraki quickly circulated among fans.
This further demonstrates Tomura’s popularity among the series’ fanbase and their desire for a spinoff solely focused on him.

Fans of My Hero Academia Share Their Reactions to a Fanmade Key Visual Featuring Tomura Shigaraki
On X, a talented artist created a fan key visual featuring Tomura Shigaraki as the main character in a spinoff titled My Villain Academia. The title is a clear nod to a storyline in the original series with the same name. In this spinoff, Tomura and the rest of the League of Villains strive to increase their power and members, while also providing readers and viewers with further insight into their backgrounds and motivations.
The artwork bore a significant resemblance to the style used by Studio Bones in the original anime adaptation, causing a stir online and garnering much attention from fans who are eager for more scenes featuring Shigaraki.
Although he is the primary antagonist of the story, Shigaraki is considered a tragic character by certain fans due to his troubled childhood. These fans desire a deeper insight into his thoughts and deeds as a villain.
The fan-created key visual also depicts a ruined mural of All Might, symbolizing Shigaraki’s deep animosity towards heroes and their ideals. It is an impressive fanart that showcases the boundless creativity of the My Hero Academia fandom and their admiration for their beloved characters.
There was an abundance of positive feedback on the key visual from online users. Some praised its unique direction, while others simply expressed admiration for its quality and portrayal of Shigaraki’s character. Additionally, some were more casual and direct in their praise.
“Bro this is amazing u ate and left no crumbs.hope ya make the current shigaraki one too.”
Many other fans expressed their desire for a My Villain Academia spinoff, citing the impressive quality of this fanmade key visual.
“I just need a My Villain Academia series like it would be so awesome.”
Furthermore, the artistic direction of the key visual was also highly praised by many fans. It is evident that All Might has consistently been a major source of animosity for Shigaraki, as their previous interactions in the manga have shown.
“Disintegrating the All Might wall is… Kino. If you drew that key visual in Horikoshi’s manga style it would fool anyone.”
Some fans expressed their discontent with the character’s portrayal in the ongoing final arc of the My Hero Academia manga. Many are adamant that author Kohei Horikoshi should not be given the opportunity to redeem the character and instead have him remain as the villain he is.
“I hope he does and doesn’t suddenly become nice through the power of friendship.”
