Is Nana Shimura Deku’s grandmother?

Answered by Jeremy Urbaniak

Nana Shimura is not Deku’s biological grandmother. She is actually the grandmother of Tomura Shigaraki, the main antagonist in the My Hero Academia series. However, there is a symbolic connection between Nana Shimura and Deku.

Nana Shimura was the seventh wielder of the One For All Quirk, a powerful ability that can be passed down from generation to generation. She entrusted the Quirk to her successor, All Might, who then passed it on to Deku. In a way, Nana Shimura can be seen as a grandmother figure to Deku since she first passed the Quirk to someone who then passed it to him.

It is important to note that Nana Shimura’s role in the story goes beyond being related to Deku. She was a highly respected hero who fought against the villain All For One, the predecessor and mentor of Tomura Shigaraki. Nana Shimura’s legacy and the ideals she stood for have a significant impact on the events of the series.

While Nana Shimura is not Deku’s biological grandmother, she plays a crucial role in the story as the grandmother of Tomura Shigaraki and as the previous wielder of the One For All Quirk. Her influence and legacy are important factors in shaping the journey of Deku and the overall narrative of My Hero Academia.
