Luz Noceda
To All For One
- Luz Noceda and Rikitasu Shigaraki are both users of the All For One Quirk. Luz is a teenaged, Latina girl and newbie vigilante and Shigaraki is a 150-year old, grown Japanese man and veteran Supervillain.
- They're both avid manga readers and are both among the first Quirk users in their respective worlds who have suffered Fantastic Racism for it.
- Luz prefers to win fights as quickly as possible and doesn't (usually) enjoy hurting and killing her enemies. Shigaraki, on the other hand, is a genuine Sadist who takes delight in tormenting his victims and dragging out their suffering.
- Luz often has My God, What Have I Done? moments, especially when her actions hurt innocent people, Shigaraki being The Sociopath is incapable of such regrets.
- While both won the Superpower Lottery, Luz is the one who actually wants to do something of value with her gifts, while Shigaraki, despite having experienced death, remains a spiteful, ignorant, and sociopathic man who thinks he has a right to Take Over the World simply because he has the opportunity.
- Luz goes from The Hero Nice Girl to a Jerk with a Heart of Gold Anti-Hero over the course of story, loosens her moral code but doesn't lose it. At the end of the day, Shigaraki cares for nobody and nothing except himself, seeking to impose his vision of being an almighty conqueror on the entire multiverse no matter the cost, and proves himself incapable of change or growth on his own. This is one of the reasons why Luz was able to achieve Quirk Awakening but not Shigaraki.
To Amity
- Both have Quirks thanks to All For One. Luz got his Quirk at the start of the story after his death, while Amity got One For All due his Quirk experiments on her parents.
