My heroic academy lacked the opportunity for a more meaningful end
After almost decades of narration, My heroic academy He reached his long -awaited conclusion with Chapter 430. The last battle saw the blanket pushed his boundaries to defeat Shigaraki and eventually one lost for everyone in the process. While the story tied up many free endings and gave fans a satisfactory solution, Shigaraki's fate remains one of its most controversial aspects.
As a character deeply rooted in the tragedy, his death felt like a missed opportunity for a series to fully explore his themes of redemption, heroism and failure of heroes of society. Rather than being a victim of his hatred, ShigarAki should be saved because his survival would bring a more resonant and provoking end end My heroic academy.

Tomura's tragedy shigaraki
A victim of neglect and manipulation
Before Tomra Shigaraki was a thin shimura – a frightened child who was abandoned by society. His tragic education, full of rejection and suffering, is the core of his descent into marriage.

Instead of being saved by the heroes, he was left alone, ignored and eventually picked up everything for one who formed him in the leader of the League of the villains.

The blanket and Shigaraki represent two diverse paths: one rescued by heroism and the other abandoned.

– ShigarAki to all

Themed justification of ShigarAki survival
Hero failure
As the series evolved, it became increasingly emphasized how the hero system favored the public image over real heroism. This was clear how the system was treated with ejection such as Shigaraki and Spinner, as well as how the heroes like Hawks and Endeavor were forced to work in morally gray areas.
The blanket for addressing Shigaraki in their latest struggle repeated this idea, but the final failure to save him felt like a contradiction with the topics of the series. If ShigarAki survived, it would be indicated that even the most important individuals could have another chance – unmanned from their crimes, but were given the opportunity to heal and change. After all, if he can effort, why not Shigaraki?
Redemption vs. reconciliation
One of the most convincing aspects of stories about the redemption of villains is the way they go through the boundary between atonement and forgiveness. Shigaraki did not have to be forgiven, nor had to be restored to society. His survival, however, could allow him to recognize the pain he caused, perhaps through imprisonment or independent exile. The idea that villains can only undertaken by death is a limiting and outdated trop. Another shōnen series, for example Naruto With the characters like Nagato and Obito, they explored the villains in a more gentle way.
You heroes pretend to be the guards of the company. For generations, you pretended to see those you couldn't protect and swept their pain under the carpet. It's all that you built. […] It's a corrupt, vicious cycle. Everything I witnessed, the whole system you built has always refused me. Now I'm ready to refuse it. Therefore, nothing. That's why I took this power for myself.
If Shigaraki lived, he could serve as a symbol of Hero Society failure, a living reminder of what happens when those who need it are ignored. His journey could end up rebuilding, leading future generations away from his journey rather than simply erase from the equation.
Alternative ends that could work
Shigaraki in prison: Symbol of change
Rather than dying in the battle, ShigarAki could be sent to rehabilitation and serve as a case study of how the Hero Society needed to change. If it is properly treated, it could be a voice that advocates better treatment of future generations of Quirk users who could otherwise be pushed towards the villain. Its presence would force the system to confront its shortcomings rather than sweep them under the carpet.
ShigarAki's self -xile: a violation of a hate cycle
Another possible end would see Shigaraki, after being defeated, he decided to let everything behind – reveal heroism and villain. That would parallel characters like Sasuke of Narutowho, after causing immense destruction, sought his own way to atone outside the boundaries of the established system. This approach would emphasize that real change is not only about removing threats, but about breaking cycles of hatred and pain.

Rescue at the last minute: The hero finally stretches his hand
One of the most advantageous ways that Shigaraki could survive would be the last minute intervention. Maybe instead of simply defeating him, the blanket could succeed in his heart. Even if it took all the strength, the spirit of Nana Shimura, or even the spinner who created one final action, the moment Shigaraki finally choose Living rather than being consumed by hate would be much more impressive than his death.

If you could cancel one death in my heroic academy, who would you choose?
Frankly, I would probably have to go with a stain or toga, because I believe they were both villains who could be something completely different. It would be nice to see how they grow from their past in some way or form, although it seems that what they did. Especially Toga was so young, she felt somewhat tragic that she ended up where she did, and her decision eventually led her to die at such a young age. In both of these characters, they were presented “good” on more than one occasion, which is really a type of villain who tells me when telling.
My heroic academy lacked the opportunity for a more meaningful end
Tomura's death shigaraki My heroic academy It wasn't just the end of the villain – it was a loss of a strong thematic solution. His survival could consolidate the message of the series that no one is beyond the rescue, and to strengthen the idea that real heroism is more than just the defeat of enemies. Instead, the series leaned into the too common tropus of villain's death as a redemption, and there was no chance to explore the consequences of Hero Society's failure in a noisier way.
While My heroic academyThe end remains strong in many aspects, Shigaraki's fate stands as one of the most important missed opportunities – the one that could add depth layers to a convincing story.
