I love twitter sometimes
spinner hangs around the LOV watching all the backstory insanity and thinks āgoddamn iām so normal, iām the normalest guy hereā and toga points out he got the biggest nerd crush on japanās most wanted dead or alive shigaraki tomura specifically when he witnessed the man leveling a city
Another old tweet from Spinnerās VA Ryou Iwasaki!
During a talk with my manager about the November Event, he said, āWhen will Spinner get a power up?ā I replied, āHeās fine the way he is. He is someone whose weakness is meaningful. I want him to be a person who fights with spirit more than ability.ā [Manager] also asked āWhen will the Quirk be used,ā so I stuck myself! On to the wall! Haha.
This man knows his character. šš¼šš¼ā¤ļø
Iāve only seen the LOV seiyuu event being passed around through twitter screencaps (which is annoying to read imo) so Iām copy+pasting @/shibuyasmashās posts about the skit below the cut. The full thread can be found here.

The stage is dark except for a light on AFOās voice actor, and the skit starts with a monologue by All For One in Tartarus. Heās musing about how boring it is in Tartarus and how they can monitor everything but his thoughts.
All For One ponders about how a Quirk that could control the mind & heart could be the most powerful and simple way to get what he wants. But AFO decides a Quirk like that would make things unsatisfying and boring.
All For One remembers his brother reading the comic and thinks about how the last interesting conversation he had was with All Might wearing his sad looking loose hero costume.
All For One thinks about All Might is too sentimental and has to let his student go to learn on his own, like AFO has done with Shigaraki after raising him carefully for all these yearsā¦
We then fade away from All For Oneās thoughts and see his beloved student Shigaraki⦠in a room thatās all messy and trashed. They show a picture on the screen of the messy room & the lights turn on the LOV voice actors. All of the LOV is there except for Dabi.

Talking to your Villain: Deku vs. Shigaraki and Ochako vs. Toga
Questionable method but I typed up all the dialogue spoken out loud in each encounter, from the moment things really start picking up steam to the moment the Villain's heart gets saved. The Heroes are trying to get through to the Villain - how much effort do they put into trying to have a dialogue?
Green is Hero Speaking; Red is Villain Speaking.
Need you note that Deku's 4 lines of green - the longest line he speaks - in the middle of his battle is actually not directed at Shigaraki. He's talking to Nana about smashing Shigaraki's lid. But maybe Shigaraki heard him, idk.
I also took out Tsuyu's speech to Toga. That was a good chunk of 'Hero trying to talk to Villain', and also just a good attempt too from Tsuyu, but we're focusing Ochako and Toga.
Whomp whomp Izuku stans
"He's only a teenager. How was a teenager supposed to save a batshit villain" wrong. Izuku is a hero. I am so sick of this "he's only a child:(((" no. He's a hero.
If Tomura can only be a villain then Izuku can only be a hero.
And he is hero who failed (like all heroes failed and continue to fail). Did he fail because he's a teenager who shouldn't have been in a situation like this in the first place? Hell yeah. But he has never stopped to even consider that bc hero cool hero great.
and the other layer for me i guess is what the shounen fight usually represents, not only a physical determination of whoās stronger but also of whose ideology is more legitimate, and it just sucks that dabi loses on both counts, which is. rough. considering how much of his character is built on the pain of being deemed a failure and the narrative just goesĀ āyeah the inferiority is true actuallyā
