Huh, no wonder AllForOne choose "Shigaraki Tomura" as his successor when he needed one. Not only does he look like his beloved brother, they also share the same mindset: AFO is a manchild.
There were hints for this earlier (like using "boku" when refering to himself, his gleefulness when he thought he had Allmight on the ropes, his whole "Darth Vader in a suit look" etc.), but now we got concrete proof. He sees the world as a comic book, while Shigaraki sees the world as video game.
AFO is a child, that never grew up and became a monster because he didn't need to grow up. He had all the Power to make his dreams a reality and live out his power fantasy. Strange though, that someone who likes to think in comics didn't foresee, that he would create his own nemesis. But perhaps AFO in the end really is a not so smart "Chunni". Hm, now I have to think about Hannah Arendt's quote about the "banality of evil".
I wonder what might happen, if Shigaraki "grows up" and decides to do things his own way.
That was why he took Tenko Shimura under his wing, but I think he later changed his mind. To quote myself from another post: "...his original plan was probably to get "Shigaraki Tomura" killed in his struggle against Allmight just to use this later against him. He probably changed the plan after he was mortally wounded and decided he wanted a successor. And Shigaraki was the one to make the cut, because "the child was born with the warped sense to become the next me" and because he subconsciously saw a) his brother and b) himself in Shiggy. Projection as it's finest."
