Spinner...

Spinner...

I know you’re holding on to Shigaraki for dear life, and you’re probably starting to panic about getting separated, and your emotions are running high...

But now is not the time to let gecko mating instincts take over and call romantic dibs on Shigaraki by biting him!

Thank god I’m not the only one thinking about this scenario!

I cannot believe it took me this long to think of it but

Shigaraki needs to wake up but yelling and biting him hasn’t worked, he’s like literally half dead. So what can wake him??? What do classic stories usually do in this situation? How to bring the King back from the brink of death and have him reclaim his power and rule over the chaotic land? What can his most loyal and gay follower Spinner do????

A true love’s kiss

Dabi Dance

Here’s a shitty little animation to tide us over until the anime gets to this point in the story!

(Special Offer: Send me a song request between now and Sunday when the official chapter drops and I’ll try to make Dabi dance to it.)

Kurogiri, at his wits end: “Tomura Shigaraki, for the last time, you cannot fight the hero society with a macaroni duck!”

Tomura, age 8: “I’ll be the judge of that!”

See these right here? The focus on Spinner’s expression of understanding and empathy as Shigaraki explains his feelings...

How Spinner’s not just the only member of the league to see Shigaraki’s victory against the MLA, but how he describes it (Shigaraki) as the prettiest thing he’s ever seen...

That one panel where it emphasizes Spinner’s heartbeat with “doki-doki” sound effects while he’s looking at Shigaraki on his throne...

Horikoshi has been consistently bringing attention to these little moments to show how important the relationship between Spinner and Shigaraki is. I mean, besides the everything Spinner does for Shigaraki in the War Arc (implied bridal carrying, constant cradling, always thinking about what Shigaraki would want or need, that goddamn lizard-mating-claim-bite), he literally uses Mr. Compress as a mouthpiece to call this out.

With all this visual evidence alone, I think Spinaraki is the one of the most canon romantic relationships in this goddamn manga!

ALSO starting off the New Year to remind everyone that Spinner loves and is in love with Shigaraki and this is quite literally canon.

I don’t know if they’ll play the song straight up, but I’m personally hoping for the anime to play a reworking of “You Say Run” during that scene, something that keeps the main melody but adds something that emphasizes that this is Shigaraki’s song. I’m sure it’s possible since they did it before with “Jet Set Run”, “Katsuki and Izuku”, and “Might+U”. If I had to guess what they’d do, I think it would be cool to combine it with “Enemy Strike” to add a threatening tone that makes it stand out among the other versions.

And honestly, a takeover of the main heroic musical theme is exactly what Shigaraki deserves as the new protagonist of MHA.

I think it would be incredibly cool if, when MVA gets animated, Studio Bones played "You Say Run" over Shigaraki’s final blow against Re Destro. Dare I say, a cultural reset?

I want him to say "my theme now >:3c"
