What I think sucks the most about that period of time where AFO was controlling Tomura is that he turned Tomura into the type of leader he never was and always hated.
By that I mean that AFO used the members of the League of Villains as mere pawns, not caring if they died or got hurt. It was the same thing that Overhaul and Redestro did. Tomura personally cut Overhaul's arm for that, he plotted his demise and when Toga confronted him, he let them know that he cared, he wasn't just using them. He was even more nightmarish with the Meta Liberation Army. Tomura said out loud that he would never forgive them for playing with his friends' feelings.
Twice died and Mr. Compress sacrificed himself, but AFO deprived Tomura of reacting to any of it. Since before the big battle, no one has mentioned Mr. Compress or Twice to Tomura. AFO told his plan to Dabi, Spinner and Toga while Tomura was in the middle of a big crisis. Here, look at him:
Even when AFO called that body other me, he seemed to leave Tomura alone to his misery. The most AFO gave was a pat-pat to Tomura and the typical words of "we'll kill them".
Look at Spinner's face in a close-up:
He's angry and with reason. Prior to that, AFO privately talked to Spinner and told him his plan of taking Stars and Stripes' quirk.
AFO disguised his true intentions by saying it was all for Tomura, to make his dream come true. He made Spinner his bodyguard. Behind the League's back, he talked with Skeptic about how to use the League of Villains. How to change them, how to manipulate in truth.
It makes me sick. All Tomura represented to them was lost, bastardized.
The people who called Tomura home, who told him they loved him, who swore to protect him and his dream, the people who admired and respected him. The League was Tomura's exception. He said it himself. He wanted the world ruined, but not them, not the things they liked.
I just know that if AFO could have cut his hands, he would have made Tomura wear them like he wore the hands of the Shimuras.
