This is primarily done through the backstory of League of Villains member and ally to All For One, Spinner.Spinner has been one of the more highlighted Mutant-type Quirk users in the series, as far as characters established as villains are concerned. His Quirk is Gecko, granting him a reptilian appearance and the ability to cling onto walls and other sheer surfaces. Like many other Mutant-type Quirk users, Spinner is unable to “turn off” his Quirk, making his reptilian appearance a constant.💕 ess! 💕 divorce attorney era@seabhactinethe anime axing spinner’s story bc it represents real world racism has not sat well with hori huh lfmksnsjs121the anime axing spinner’s story bc it represents real world racism has not sat well with hori huh lfmksnsjsAs is apparently revealed in My Hero Academia chapter 370, according to the leaks, Spinner faced a great deal of hate, discrimination, and racism growing up with his Quirk. Thus, he finds it within himself to gather up the various Mutant-type Quirk users surrounding them. All find kinship in each other as Spinner speaks of his experiences, which they have all gone through at some point.This eventually leads into a mob surrounding the Heroes nearby, with one group led by Spinner approaching the black-Japanese hero, Rock Lock. The group begins shouting at him that he doesn’t understand what discrimination is like and what they’ve been through, charging him in the process.question stans anonymous@afroallura#mha370 i’m 99.9% sure hori knew what he was doing here twitter.com/rukasumha/stat…Rukasu@RukasuMHASeveral mutants have gathered around Rock Lock and he tells them to stop, but they have furious expressions.

Many even assert that the choice made by Horikoshi was a conscious one. One fan pointed out that despite the futuristic setting of the world, the general discrimination that those of African descent faced doesn’t “magically disappear.”Others shared a similar sentiment, with many saying that Horikoshi most definitely knew what he was doing in this scene. Indeed, it does beg the question of why Horikoshi specifically chose Rock Lock to have this be said to. Furthermore, if the choice wasn’t a conscious one, it begs the question of how Horikoshi could possibly not have realized.earphonejack95 ♑️@taylorann112Hori knew what he was doing with this lol. #MHA370 #MHASpoilers twitter.com/rukasumha/stat…Rukasu@RukasuMHASeveral mutants have gathered around Rock Lock and he tells them to stop, but they have furious expressions.
