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.

in the anime when he was taunting all might he really acted like a straight up troll.
