A villain who will destroy hero society.
The narrative is set in a world where society is built around heroes and villains, both of whom thrive on violence but are strictly categorized as 'good' or 'evil'. Shigaraki's ultimate goal is to bring about the downfall of this hero society and rise to rule the criminal underworld. He believes that even achieving this goal won't alleviate the deep-seated despair he feels.
Shigaraki is a villain defined by his profound nihilism and hatred for everything. He carries a heavy, persistent weight in his heart, which fuels his misanthropic worldview. He resents the simplistic categorization of 'good' and 'evil' and feels that every living thing 'rubs him the wrong way'.
Heroes and villains both thrive on violence, but we’re still categorized. You’re good. You’re evil. That’s how it is!
Even if this hero society comes crashing down... even if I rise to rule the underworld... that weight in my heart is never gonna go away. It's why I hate everything. Every living, breathing thing just rubs me the wrong way.
