Nana Shimura's guilt

Ok, so I'm sure plenty of people have noticed that in the latest chapter Nana has been insisting that Izuku must kill Shigaraki and that he's a wall that Izuku doesn't have to climb over. And I want to discus that as whilst I certainly don't agree with her, I find her reasons for such a perspective to be fascinating.

But let's begin with a trend I've noticed in any chapters where Nana and the vestiges talk about Shigaraki, and that's the fact that despite originally agreeing to go along with Izuku's wish to save Shigaraki they constantly refer to him as an 'it' or a 'thing' more often describing him as something less then human. And whilst it may not be surprising for the others to refer to him this way, it is incredibly disturbing that Nana his own grandmother seems the most determined to remove Shigaraki's humanity.

In fact it appears to be a theme that anyone who had a personal stake in how Shigaraki came to be are the one's most determined to ignore any sign of personhood inside him. This can be seen with Grand Torino, who despite having come to the realisation that his and Nana's decision was a mistake, seems to double down and tries to convince Izuku that killing Tomura is the better option; hell, literally the moment Shigaraki's identity is reviled he is the one to convince All Might that he isn't worth saving and that no matter his bloodline he's still a villain.

And he says this with full confidence despite the fact All For One outright told them both that he deliberately groomed Shigaraki to hate All Might and only chose him to mess with his enemy.

Even All Might chose to give up on Shigaraki very quickly and hasn't even thought about him since he found out, which is honestly really sad because of all people he should have been the one who cared the most, especially since he knows one of the only reasons All For One chose to mess with Shigaraki was to hurt him.

Which brings me back to Nanna and why she is acting the way she is and honestly, it's most likely due to a number of reasons and guilt is likely the most prominent one. After all it was her choices which led to Kotaro becoming traumatised and despising hero's, and it was because she was a wielder of One For All that her family/Tenko was targeted. Now I'm not saying it's Nana's fault Kotaro became an abuser, after all he was a grown man who was more than responsible for the way he handled his trauma however, that doesn't erase the fact that she was the root of his hatred which he passed down onto his son.

Not to mention she knows that the main reason Tenko was targeted was for revenge against her for defying All For One, so not only dose she have to deal with the fact that her son abused his child to near insanity but also her mortal enemy, who killed her, her master and tried to kill her student also groomed her grandchild to hate her, hero's and to become his next vessel.

That a lot of guilt for anyone to be burdened with and whilst it isn't directly her fault, the birth of Shigaraki is a result of the legacy she left behind.

And she obviously can't cope with that because if she did, it would basically invalidate every sacrifice she made for the sake of protecting One For All, so what dose she do? Well she makes a very human mistake and choses to ignore it. After all if Shigaraki is just a monster, a creature beyond human understanding then she doesn't have to face the guilt, "it was out of my hands, what could I have done?" "there's no point in dwelling on what could have been".

Ironically it's the same response All For One had regarding his own humanity. Essentially she's taking the responsibility out of her hands in order to protect herself because if she dose acknowledge it, it would essentially be an ego death for her and well humans are naturally programmed to protect ourselves at all costs. It's not nice but it's the truth, which honestly makes someone like Izuku stand out more.

Izuku has no reason to sympathies with Shigaraki, he has no idea what he's gone through or the history behind his creation but despite that he is the only person on the hero's side who has NEVER ignored him. Hell, even back in the mall scene where Shigaraki practically had him a gun point he still took the time to listen to him and give him a proper answer to his question and clearly what Shigaraki said meant something to him as he ask's All Might about it later.

It's clear that ever since these two have met that for some reason, whether it be the legacies they both carry or the fact that Izuku is just an innately empathetic person, these two have shared a connection. It's like Izuku and Shigaraki said, it's almost like fate has brought them together and we'll just have to see however that played out.

However, it's abundantly clear that whatever might happen between the two of them for Shigaraki to be truly be saved Nana and by extension all others who have kindly rejected Shigaraki will have to eventually accept that he is in fact human. They cannot keep pushing things under the rug because Izuku won't let them.

Life after defeat au: izuku telling his grandma abt his quirk bc he literally cannot keep a secret from her to save his life, and Nana being like... what did you say your quirk was??

She gets some memories of her own mentor passing it on to her, and then blurry memories of her passing it on to a blonde boy.

She gets a bit teary eyed and Izuku freaks out bc he thinks he's just upset his grandma

these two have such a sweet relationship. Izuku's grandma is his rock and he's her lil hero, I just feel like they really rely on each other.

I know that the Nana Tomura saw in his “vision” probably was only a part of his imagination but I can’t help but feel bad for her in this scene. She distanced herself from her son to protect him but her decision ended up backfiring immensely. Her son is dead and his family too and now her grandson is on a dark path that she knows(or thinks) can only end in his death.

She sacrificed her relationship to her son to keep him safe only for All for one to manage to hurt him and her family anyway.

Since yesterday I've been thinking about an AU where Nana lives but because of how big her fight with AFO was, she's left with scars on her face and amnesia. She wouldn't remember anything, even her name if not for a piece of her ID, thought only her first name, without her face, survived.

(I lied (?) And she can remember SOWETHING, yellow and sunny smiles, white and yellow and scowls, black and tears, fire, so much fire)

Lives go on and she finds a job, a flat, a boyfriend turned husband and she has a daughter, Inko Midoriya who later has a son Izuku.

(Nana doesn't like her son-in-law. There is just something about him that makes her skin crawl [spoiler, he's AFO])

I've been also thinking about All Might/ Nana meeting after years but I have no idea when should they meet (mayby when AM goes to the Mido household?)

- there are always casualties after a major villain attack in a populated area.

- even when there is no word on who the villain is or what hero is fighting, there are rescue teams that try to save those they can.

- it is a common occurrence. But it had never been to this extent.

- it had been not a half an hour since the dust settles and all fighting finished.

- hundreds were rescued and even more were severely injured.

- one such person was a woman with intense wounds across most of her body, blunt force trauma to her head, broken bones, internal bleeding the list went on.

- nobody thought she would last the night, let alone the week, but she did.

- unfortunately she had no id on her during the attack, no identifying markers from her clothes since they were too destroyed and her body near unrecognizable. Her DNA was also in no system so her identity was unknown.

- the woman was in a coma for months and when she did wake up she couldn't remember anything at all, she had amnesia.

- though every once and a while she would see flashes of things she couldn't understand, blurs of people without definite details, colors and feelings that just made her feel more lost.

- since nobody knew her name she tried out multiple names, all suggestions from her nurses and doctors while she was recovering.

- but they all felt too flowery or cutesy.

- that was until she took a walk to the children's ward, something within her longed to be around children she loved them, so she went there often.

- and that's where she met him. A young pediatric nurse named Itsuki Hino. He just seemed to understand her, he didn't treat her like she was fragile like everyone else did, he actually saw her.

- so when she brought up her dilemma he turned towards her and suggested the name Chizue since she had been through so much and beat the odds and survived.

- so the woman was Chizue now. She visited the kids and Hino often. She would read stories to the kids and give them hope. Eventually she started making up stories of her own and with a bit of encouragement she started writing them down.

- the next thing she knew she was published and living on her own.

- but she still continued to visit the pediatric ward.

- her and Itsuki continued to grow closer, and four years after she woke up in the hospital they got married.

- the happiest day of her life was when she had her daughter Inko, and while she was still haunted by her dreams of golden smiles, scowls, capes, blood and fear she was happy in the life she had now.

- she was truly happy. She was living a full life.

- though she wasn't exactly thrilled when her only child started dating a mister Hisashi Midoriya. The man seemed to be a scoundrel but they both agreed on one thing, the importance of family. So she was fine with him as long as she could tease him.

- well that was until he up and left his wife and their son, that was unforgivable!

- so her and her husband lived with their daughter and grandson Izuku. They supported each other through good and bad times.

- through Izuku's quirkless diagnosis, through Itsuki's death and through the bullying. They had each other through it all.

- Chizue could not have been prouder of her grandbaby than when he got accepted into UA and while she thought he would make a fine quirkless hero she was happy when he got his quirk.

- it no longer bothered that she couldn't remember her past, she was at peace with it. That is until Izuku's teacher visited the house...

In the Vestige Void:

Banjo: Hey! How come he gets all the cool shit?

Yoichi: I don’t fucking know? He was quirkless so-

Yagi’s vestige: *making hand movements indicating to himself*

Nana: Toshi was quirkless when I passed on OFA. How come he didn’t get our quirks like Ninth?

Hikage: Probably because he’s All For One’s son, just a thought.

Yoichi: WE TALKED ABOUT THIS. MY BROTHER DID NOT GET LAID AND HAVE A CHILD-

En: That you know of.

Literally in love with how flawed Nana Shimura is.

Obsessed with the fact she breaks under pressure and makes the wrong decisions. She's the only woman that has been an ofa user, she abandoned her son choosing to save other people instead of taking care of her own family, she begged Izuku to save Tomura and then asked Izuku to forget him and annihilate him. She was like a mother to All Might, she left Kotaro with the crappiest letter ever as an excuse for the fact she left him behind. She's foundational for the Hero Society, her fuck up is what created Tomura in the first place.

I adore complex female characters that are no angels, but not the devil either. Even if they have the best of intentions, they can be cruel and their actions result in the worst of consequences. She was not meant to be a mother at all, if she valued her hero work over her own son. Of course she'd tell Izuku to give up on her grandchild when she has no real connection to him. It doesn't mean she wasn't heroic or selfless in many situations, just that she is equally capable of being selfish.

In retrospect, you can see how her flaws echo Tomura's own shortcomings. The Shimuras are such an interesting family...
