The world of My Hero Academia has undoubtedly introduced us to numerous incredible heroes who have captured our attention. However, it cannot be denied that the series has also presented us with equally impressive Villains, whose well-developed characters have earned them a devoted following. As we continue to follow their journey, they have become an integral part of our lives.
With the conclusion of the manga, there has been a lot of curiosity surrounding the fate of its characters. While we know the heroes are thriving, what about the Villains? Did they receive redemption or a well-deserved happy ending? In this blog, we will reveal the answers to these pressing questions.
Himiko Toga: A Victim Trapped by the Cruel Fate
Himiko Toga, who was initially portrayed as a Yandere with a disturbing craving for blood, became one of the major antagonists in My Hero Academia when she joined the League of Villains and fought in the great war under the leadership of Tomura Shigaraki.
Despite society’s tendency to depict her as a deranged sadist because of her unpredictable actions, the truth is that she is simply a misunderstood individual who is in need of assistance and empathy. During their last showdown, Ochako was the first to recognize Toga’s inner turmoil and made an effort to connect with her.
Toga, who was initially filled with rage, retaliates by inflicting a deep wound on Ochako in response to her kindness. However, as the intense battle continues, the hero’s words and determination eventually break through to Toga. As she witnesses the severity of Ochako’s injuries, Toga’s final act of gratitude is to perform a life-saving blood transfusion before passing away beside her.
Dabi: A Son’s Journey to Earn His Father’s Love
Toya Todoroki, also known as Dabi, is the oldest child of Pro Hero Endeavor. He possesses a fire-type quirk and was believed to be deceased for a significant period of time until he unexpectedly revealed himself during the Paranormal Liberation War Arc.
Having harbored a lifelong desire for revenge against his father, Dabi was willing to go to extreme lengths to make him suffer. This included sacrificing his own brother, Shoto, in order to see his father’s pain. As he prepared for his final showdown with his father, Dabi had a plan to take down the entire Todoroki family, even if it meant sacrificing his own life in the process.
Despite initially going according to Dabi’s plan, Rei, Fuyumi, Natsuo, and Shoto were able to overcome his flames and prevent disaster. Currently, Dabi’s body remains in a life support system, but he is now attempting to reconcile with his family, even as he inches closer to his eventual death.
Tomura Shigaraki: A Helpless Child Who Was Ignored by Everyone
Despite being portrayed as a destructive psychopath by society, the main antagonist in My Hero Academia was not always that way. Like any other innocent child, he was once unaware of his role as a pawn in the larger plans of All For One.
As a result of his “decay”and absence of a strong support system, he transformed into the antagonist. He sought to dismantle the hero society, which had let him down by defeating Izuku Midoriya and obtaining One for All.
During the climactic battle against Izuku, All For One took control of his body. After Izuku passed on the One For All power to the Villain, all of its previous wielders and Nana’s resurrected grandson, Shigaraki, joined forces to defeat All For One before peacefully succumbing to their wounds. This encounter greatly impacted Deku’s journey, as he still remembers it even after his monumental growth.
