MHA 423 SPOILERS
Listen writing this after the chapter is more devastating than you could ever know ok
Listen I can’t even write this like I’m live reacting but my thoughts were along the likes of “hmmmm what’s this now? Maybe he’s breaking free and going to be Shirakumo and be happy :) :) :)”…
Here I was like: “what the heck man, he was getting better!! But you know what, maybe he’ll get better when Shigaraki dies and this is a temporary regression.”
And here I EXPERIENCED THE FIVE STAGES OF GRIEF ALL AT ONCE BECAUSE THEY REALLY HAD TO DESTROY THE TWO HUNDRED CHAPTERS I HAD TO WAIT BEFORE THE FLASHBACK AND NOW HES GONE-GONE at least i’m pretty sure he is from his particles literally fading away and I know this might seem like an overly strong reaction to the death of a character that had barely any time in the main series but I have a deep appreciation for Shirakumo and he deserved better than this. Maybe this is all a fake-out and those particles are the Kurogiri-ness leaving him and now he’s free to be Shirakumo free of Kurogiri and that may be stupid but that’s all I have.
Anyway yayyy the conclusion we’ve been waiting for since chapter/episode one I’m happy that we got here but did we really have to sacrifice Shirakumo to do it? I don’t think so. Looking forward to a sparse amount of panels with Hawks and Tokoyami, but my pride and joy is now deceased :(
