The Izuku Seeing His Memories Thing Feels Soooo Strong Now - Tumblr Posts

Before people scream about “Tenko and Tomura are different people!”

No. They are not.

Tenko is the part of his identity that isn’t full of hate. That’s why it’s Tenko at 5 years old, that’s why it’s Tenko with black hair still. That’s why Tenko’s happy memories surfaced during this fight in Shigaraki’s body. He isn’t full of hate, he has things he loves and cares about, and that’s why AFO can’t get that part of the his identity to disappear.

So basically, AFO was able to absorb his little creation—Shigaraki Tomura. But not the identity that had nothing to do with him—Shimura Tenko.

Also kinda plays into AFO giving Tomura his last name too.

So just my guess—but next time we see Tomura’s body back in control of its rightful owner, it’ll be after someone called him by his real name. Someone who can find out what his real name even is. Only one person comes to mine 🤔
