In the world of My Hero Academia, hero and villain names play a significant role in the lives of those with superhuman abilities. Chapter 393 of the manga, titled ‘Ego Seorang Gadis’ in Indonesian, delves into the backstory of Toga and sheds light on the origins of these names.
The chapter begins with a flashback of Toga and the League of Villains. As the members discuss the idea of giving Toga a villain name, Spinner suggests ‘vampire Carmilla’, and Twice offers ‘Pikachiu’. However, Dabi dismisses both suggestions, implying that they don’t align with Toga’s true nature.
Shigaraki, the leader of the League of Villains, reveals an intriguing revelation. In the past, there was no clear distinction between heroes and villains, and their names were given by their enemies. This suggests that the labels of hero and villain were not assigned based on their own actions or intentions, but rather by those who sought to oppose them.
Over time, people started adopting secret identities, concealing certain aspects of their true selves from the public eye. This was an attempt to protect their loved ones and lead normal lives while also fulfilling their duty as heroes or villains. The concept of dual identities, one as a hero or villain and the other as an ordinary individual, became more prevalent. This shift in behavior and mindset ultimately shaped the world of My Hero Academia, resembling the comic books we know today.
Toga’s decision to join the League of Villains stems from her desire to create a world that is easier to live in. However, throughout her journey, she realizes that embracing her true self is more important than adopting a villain name. In the end, she chooses to continue living as Himiko Toga without any additional titles or aliases.
Chapter 393 of the manga provides valuable insights into the significance of hero and villain names in the world of My Hero Academia. It highlights the evolution of these names and the impact they have on the lives of the characters. Toga’s story and her motivations for joining the League of Villains add depth to her character, showcasing the complex dynamics within the series.
