Chapter 266 - Happy Life

Apparently this new epilogue is a few years later than the one we saw so Keigo is approximately what, 33? 34? Older than Jin and Aizawa were. And yeah he looks like he's in his-mid thirties, his scars healed really, really well (you barely see the gunga one) and he's finally managed to grow a beard.

However my favorite thing about this is that he's energetic and happy which is not what we expected since Mera looked half-dead so I am very happy to see Keigo's clearly on the Japanese Salaryman Happy Pills.

Also he took his fucking costume off so maybe he actually did go to therapy.

When i was 5 years old i had the serious, grim attitude of an adult and now in my 20s you could put me in an easy bake oven for fifteen damn minutes and i'd come out whimpering, unsalted, piping hot

new seasonnn

can you do a fav shigaraki pics? 👉🏻👈🏻

I wasn’t gonna answer this originally, but since it’s shigi’s birthday I’ll make an exception just for him <3 this ends the series tho, I won’t do any more

Starting off with one of my fave shigis. I love this illustration of him. I think it was pretty early on too, maybe at the mall miniarc? Waay before Shigi was given character development anyway. I just love how this picture shows the true colors of those hands. Here, he doesn’t look like the monster that he’s supposed to be in the heroes’ narrative. The hands are swarming him, choking him, grabbing him obsessively from every angle. Hori says he hates drawing unexpressive hands, and yet this illustration is the opposite of that. Those are very clearly portrayed as stifling, controlling hands that have an abusive hold on him. I just think it’s very neat visual storytelling.

Introspective Shigi has a sort of beautiful melancholy to him that is second only to the Todofam. He looks so young here. I love this panel

every time shigaraki graces us with that little bastard smirk I just. hhhhhhh. A part of my soul ascends. I love his cocky grin. He deserves a little destruction, as a treat

more smirky shigis because nngghh I am weak. Plus, the halo hair? sign me the fuck up. I can’t wait to see it animated. I hope Bones doesn’t fuck it up.

This panel is so funny because he’s like. Explaining the strategy to his team mates and how best they’re gonna crush the enemy, but he’s a little shit so of course he has to give a visual with his fist. Nerd.

this look screams “you’re fucking with the wrong bitch”. I love him so much.

here he just looks pretty af

touch.

this one cracks me up every single time. Idk why.

he just had to do it to ‘em

he doesn’t want this thing

me @ endvr’s arc

lighbulb shig. prime memeing material

Ah, yes. the holy trinity of “you don’t pick a fight with MY league”

Or what I like to call the Shonen Manga Protagonist Shigi

that little scrunched up face?? I’d give it a 100/10. Awesome content, would love to see more of it

Shigi quoting lotr? it’s more likely than you think. He’s such a nerd.

I think I screamed when I read this scene. Untoppable best shigi moment. Just. the whole ensamble. Him stepping on endvr like a king. The mocking of  the fist. Everything.

and last but not least, conqueror!shiggi. I think this is my fave shiggi ever

in short: stan shigaraki

Another art of Keigo. Now I can get back to working on my comic.

Takami Keigo has a handful of good memories

fantasy au brainrot!!! everyone’s least favourite commission pet & proud of it

Everyone looked at their trauma in the eye except Hawks. I'm going to be sad if no character changes are addressed.

I'm still thinking that Hawks' endgame will be tied to saving Toga one way or another - as something he knew Jin would have wanted to do.

Like to me, this scene looks like Hawks tried to offer himself as a "sacrifice" to see if that calms down Toga/Twice feelings of wanting revenge.

But in the end, it wasn't revenge that Toga needed, but acceptance. Ochako could accept her as a person, but she's only a student. Arguably, Hawks as No 2 hero, and influential person in the HPSC could do something about Toga having a place to live in the world.

I don't think Hori put this panel here for nothing - Hawks' ending I think will have to do everything with what happens to villains. He's tied to this theme both through his birth as a marginalized child, his experience of how a symbol doesn't reach those peripheral parts of society, but then also his friendship with Jin, with seeing close the bonds of the villains, as well as his ties to the Todoroki family.

Hawks is part of the main cast - Hori is tying up all kinds of side characters. I'm certainly expecting Hawks to get a conclusion.
