This is the desperation of a drowning man looking for something, anything to hold onto. A raison d'être, a purpose; meaning. At his most passionate, shouting from his heart, Spinner reveals that it’s not quite Stain he wants to follow - it’s anything that will give him something to live for. Stain might be gone, but here was the League, here was Shigaraki. He’s begging Shigaraki to give him an answer. He’s willing to follow Shigaraki if Shigaraki proves himself - if Shigaraki inspires him, if Shigaraki can provide direction, Spinner will stay.

This was the wonderful question that hung over the entire arc, from beginning to end. Will Shigaraki prove himself? Is Shigaraki worth following? Spinner is sort of setting the standard here, asking what the audience is asking about the character of Shigaraki Tomura and his potential, providing the goal, the main thesis of the arc.

Spinner ends up serving as the audience surrogate - he’s ideal for it too: he’s sympathetic (victim of fantasy racism, an aimless young adult), he’s got ‘good’ reason to fight against society (where were the Heroes while the CRC were having their meeting?), and though we don’t know it yet, there’s already a sense that he’s the most average guy in the League, way in over his head. Relatable.

While the League being Plus Chaos is fun to watch (esp. Twice and Toga antics), we’re reading HeroAca for a story. We need that logical progression, we need a satisfying beginning, middle, end. same as Spinner, we’re looking for ‘purpose’ and meaning. MVA main thread is Shigaraki growing and maturing, and Spinner is the meta-framing for this.

3. The cutscene where the baby is introduced will grab one random item you created and use it as an heartwarming item for the baby to play with.

Q: What kind of video games does Shigaraki play?

Horikoshi: He used to be into PvP but if he was taunted or got frustrated with teammates, he would break the monitor. So AFO suggested he play a different type of game. He seems to enjoy simulation games now.
