#4. Spinner gayngst. but then he help undo it

[codenamesazanka]

what was the point of the possession plot. for real, someone tell me it’s most lasting impact, because as of now:

AFO becomes final boss maybe AFO will have another comeback but currently he’s being handled and defeated by someone who is not the main protag

Deku physically and metaphorically saves Shigaraki from AFO Shigaraki broke free on his own!

moral lesson about Shigaraki’s rage being detrimental by empowering Ultimate Evil AFO to continue controlling him Shigaraki’s negative emotions leads to AFO’s downfall because it was too powerful for AFO to control

#4. Spinner gayngst. but then he help undo it #nalslastworkingbraincell #i do actually want an answer though #please and thank you #about point 2. obviously Deku still has to save Shigaraki from nihilistic rage and despair #but that stuff is Shigaraki’s own. even if afo contributed to Shigaraki believing the world is hopeless #Shigaraki has made it his own (‘everything i’ve seen that created that house’) and reaffirmed it each time #not so much saving Shigaraki from AFO anymore so much as convincing Shigaraki the world/hero society with all its flaws deserves to remain
