My Hero Academia Season 6: Tomura Shigaraki's transformation
Brief recap
My Hero Academia Season 6 will mark Tomura Shigaraki's return. Previously, an intense battle ensued, initially against Gigantomachia and then against Meta Liberation Army. Now, Tomura readies himself to gain the power boost he came in search of.
Essentially, All For One told the League of Villains to seek out Dr. Kyudai Garaki. The doctor was his most trusted ally, helping him manufacture Nomus and studying different quirks. He was aid in their quest to wipe out the heroes.
Upon them getting a hold of Garaki, he asked Shigaraki to defeat Gigantomachia if he wanted his "help". While fighting the giant, the League received news that Giran had been captured by the Meta Liberation Army. Thus, they set out to rescue him.
The League of Villains and the Meta Liberation Army engaged in a fierce duel. However, the League came out on top and Shigaraki awakened the true extent of his quirk - Decay. This made Gigantomachia acknowledge him as All For One's successor.
Shigaraki's New Form
As the heroes prepare to raid Jaku hospital, Shigaraki continues the reanimation into his new form, overseen by the original Dr. Garaki. Essentially, the doctor aims to combine Tomura's body with that of a High-End Nomu and bestow the All For One quirk on him.
The process was about 72% complete prior to the heroes' attack. To buy time, Gigantomachia and Nomus from the doctor's lab hold off the incoming heroes but soon succumb to their force. They find an unconscious Shigaraki in a machine with wires attached to him.
Soon Shigaraki wakes up, almost completely merged with his new body and All For One. With similar white hair as before, Tomura's skinny frame is now more muscular in appearance. Due to his new quirk, his palms now have small holes. Also, a bio-mechanical device has been added in place of the prosthetic fingers on left hand.
The newly reborn Shigaraki proves to be a huge challenge for the heroes. Even the Number 1 Hero Endeavor struggles to land a proper blow on. Aiding Endeavor are Deku and Bakugo, whose efforts fall short as the villain overpowers them with his newfound power.
Final Thoughts
My Hero Academia Season 6 brings the much-loved Tomura Shigaraki in a never-before-seen form. Equipped with a new body and All For One, he is back with vengeance.
The previous season clearly showed why he was chosen as All for One's successor. Now, in My Hero Academia Season 6, a darker and more violent Tomura Shigaraki will face off against the heroes in a bid to take down Deku and acquire One For All.
