You know what, it's unfair that Kurogiri never had a free will to begin with. It's unfair that Yamada, Aizawa and Kayama lost Shirakumo.
Some people may think Yamada saying "Shirakumo should just stay dead" is cruel, and yeah it's harsh. But it's just more heartbreaking because... Shirakumo didn’t get to rest.
Shirakumo died in on hero duty, that is something that happens. But he was also stolen from them.
Imagine thinking you laid your close friend to rest, someone you shared laughs with just the day before, and then it turns out his corpse was turned into a Nomu.
That is disrespectful.
Shirakumo was turned into a servant, into a whole other personality. Yes, even as Kurogiri he exhibits his caring traits, but he was forced to.
What's cruel is that some big bad villain and a nasty scientist took someone's dead body, someone who was once a son and a friend, and turned him into practically a plaything.
Yamada wants his friend to rest. Not for just his sake, but for Aizawa, for Kayama, for the Shirakumo family.
That closure is needed.
I get it, Kurogiri is Shigaraki's caretaker and all that jazz, but don't forget that he wouldn't have been his caretaker if Shirakumo's body hadn't been disturbed. It's not even something new because we're aware that Garaki had made MULTIPLE Nomus. Imagine all those families those people had. Their friends. How unaware they may be that someone they loved is some mindless creature to serve someone else.
It's actually disgusting to even think about it.
Someone actually took someone's body and molded it to how they see fit and Yamada is the "problematic" one?
Nah, even, let's say, if Kurogiri and Shirakumo combine, it will still hurt knowing that my best friend is standing right there in front of me and he doesn't even have his own free will anymore.
He doesn't get to rest.
Yamada lost Shirakumo, he lost Kayama and he nearly lost Aizawa TWICE.
Of course, he's going to be pessimistic and angry. He's been dealing with grief and heartache since a teenager. The man's DJ, upbeat personality is probably a front to just how hurt he really is, but he doesn't want to burden anyone with his feelings. So he just built up this wall and tried to be Aizawa's sunshine to his constantly cloudy days. Yamada is in his thirties now. Do you know how long that is?!
Personally, punching Garaki once was not enough for me. He needs to be punched multiple times. AFO, too.

I need Aizawa and Kurogiri acknowledging each other again on the battlefield, but this time not as enemies or long lost friends barely there, but as two grown adults who have been trying to keep their kids alive throug a war.
Aizawa and the pro-heroes are not giving up on the UA students, but neither is Kurogiri giving up on Tomura.
And I want them both to face and understand that. They might be on different sides, but it's not so different from that day where Shirakumo died protecting those kids. They're still doing that job, driven by their heroic instincts. They are still under the rain, doing the impossible. They are still holding on not only for their lives, but also for the lives of those they love.
Would Aizawa give up on Eri?
Then why would Kurogiri give up on Tomura?

spoilers! small translation
Kurogiri has always used "watashi" as his first-person pronoun because he speaks very formally because he's extremely polite like that.
Shirakumo uses "ore", as teenaged boys in shounen manga usually do.
Tumblr media
The line that says "I am the one who protects Shigaraki Tomura," uses "ore".
That's Shirakumo speaking.

I just realized how messed up Present Mic has to be feeling.
Like out of your high school quad, two of your friends died and one of them got turned into a Nomu, your other friend lost an eye and a leg and before that you found out that he was the first option to be turned into a Nomu, but the opportunity never came so your first friend that died was the second option.

You know it occurs to me: Spinner was told by AFO to awaken Kurogiri by playing him Tomura or AFO’s voice. If he had done that, I’m willing to bet the plan was for Kurogiri the Nomu puppet to be what woke up.
Tumblr media
Instead he simply told him Tomura needs rescuing, and it seems what happened as a result of that is that he awoke as a mixture of Kurogiri and Shirakumo. Or perhaps another way to put it would be that Shirakumo awoke to rescue Tomura.
We’ll have to wait until next chapter to know for sure exactly what he is now, but I’m pretty sure it was something to Tomura’s benefit and AFO’s detriment. And if so, good job Spinner.

Okay listen I know Kuro stealing Oboro's pronouns is mad funny but
Tumblr media
What if this really is Oboro?
What if this scene is heading towards abolishing the Kurogiri-sided with villains-protect Tomura / Shirakumo-sided with heroes-don't care about/kill Tomura dichotomy?
What if the meaning of this last line wasn't that both entities have awakened and he's torn between two lives, but that they're actually not fighting at all, and Shirakumo shares Kurogiri's goal?
As in, what Kurogiri was programmed to do, Shirakumo turns out to genuinely believe in. After all, that's why Kurogiri worked in the first place. Because of Shirakumo's caring nature. Hizashi is just an ordinary hero who would never dream of saving Tomura, and he has this idealized memory of Shirakumo as a fellow ordinary hero, and most likely believes that anything that doesn't fit it is probably Kurogiri. Which is an extremely dangerous mindset.

What Present Mic said to Shiragiri in this chapter bothered me, and I know it's best to wait until the full translation but I doubt the translation is going to make it sound better I'm pretty sure it's going to be the same thing still. I'm tired of the villians being dehumanized.
It's good that it bothers you, because it's supposed to.
Mic was never the one who was going to be super tied to ShiraGiri's influence on the battlefield. That was always, always Aizawa.
Mic is barely a character. I mean he's been there from the beginning, but beyond knowing his attachment to Shirakumo and Aizawa, he doesn't have much to him. So it wouldn't have made sense for him to have an open mind.
Not to mention, I feel like people forget this actually, look at the difference in his and Aizawa's reactions to Aoyama:
Tumblr media
Mic has a slightly averse reaction to Aizawa saying he "feels the same as the kids" (foreshadowing much?). And then:
Tumblr media
Mic says this, meanwhile Aizawa:
Tumblr media
I mean, imo Mic hasn't earned the "suddenly an open minded old gen hero ready to change the status quo" role in the story. I expect him to ultimately side with Aizawa and the kids in the end, but only because that story calls for it and not because his character was necessarily built up to it.
That talk Aizawa had with Aoyama is so obviously meant to be repeated later...to someone else.
"I feel the same as the kids". Blatant foreshadowing for Aizawa. Not to mention him thinking about Kurogiri RIGHT then and there when he is saying those things. It's almost like he knows this speech might apply to more than just Aoyama, at some point, somehow.
Look at all the adult characters who have relevance and impact on the plot: All Might, Endeavor, Aizawa, and Gran Torino. Out of those characters, the only one who has the same type of arc as the kids who will save the villains is Aizawa. ShiraGiri is his villain. It's pretty much the exact same type of set up.
He has to reconcile the current version of his villain with who they used to be. Midoriya sees the crying kid inside Shigaraki, so the next step is tying that kid to the person Shigaraki turned into, and helping those two parts of him reconcile--thus he is saved. Shouto knows Touya is his brother, and by god he is TRYING to view him as Touya, but he keeps treating him as Dabi. He's trying. Toga, same story. She was a normal teenager like Ochacko, experiences the same feelings as her. Ochacko has to accept Toga for who she is now by acknowledging who she used to be.
Aizawa---it's exactly the same. Accept ShiraGiri for who he is. Someone different, but still the person he knew in his childhood nonetheless.
Mic doesn't have that ingrained into his arc. He's kinda just there, and he's presenting the opposing ideals that are set up to eventually be shut down later. He sounds like Gran Torino--"death is better". We as readers know BNHA doesn't believe that. So his beliefs will be shut down later.
