When Tomura was young, all he wanted was love and acceptance from his family. However, this is not true as All For One has been manipulating the family without them knowing. After Tomura's Quirk Decay awakened and killed his family, his personality became warped. At first, Tomura was distraught after his family was murdered and wandered the streets seeking help from heroes or other civilians.

However, the hero society was never perfect, and no one reached out to help him. This was part of All For One's master plan. Because he knew how hero society operated and used it to his advantage. The murder of the Shimura family and the failure of the public and heroes to help Tomura ultimately changed Tomura's view of society, and All For One developed this view.

Tomura's new outlook on life also makes him incredibly qualified. All For One had to raise Tomura to believe that everything was there for him and that the world was his oyster.

His impulsiveness led him to act childishly without any consequences.

Tomura Shigaraki could easily be called a spoiled brat. This personality trait was primarily fostered by All For One, as Tomura needed to be groomed to become the ideal vessel for him. At the start of the series, Tomura can be seen as a lost cause with no particular purpose, primarily doing whatever he wants without regard for human life.

All For One adopted Tomura, but did not explicitly give him a purpose or goal to work towards. However, he manipulated numerous instances to lead Tomura on the right path. Because Tomura had no goals, he often failed at the tasks he set himself. Tomura can be seen as a spoiled brat, as after each failed task, All For One encourages Tomura to try again and again, often giving him everything he needs on a silver platter.

It seemed like All For One would give Tomura whatever he wanted, no questions asked, whenever he was on a whim. Growing this personality type led Tomura to believe that he could live without consequences, and when his plans failed, Tomura reacted violently. Tomura often acts like a boy, and when Tomura doesn't get his way or is stressed, he gets irritated and scratches his wounds.

Try as many times as you like. That's why I'm here. Everything is for you.

As mentioned, Tomura was taught to believe that he could act impulsively without rhyme or reason. He also believed that if he said so, everyone would follow him. This was one of the reasons he kidnapped Katsuki Bakugou. Because he believed that as the League of Villains grew, Bakugo would easily follow his lead. However, Tomura misunderstood Bakugo's ambition and determination to become a hero.

Another instance was the spat with Overhaul during the Shie Hassaikai arc. Tomura hates being messed with and sees Magne killed and Mr. After Compress is injured, Tomura begins to act like a leader, but is fueled by revenge and pettiness. In the end, Tomura was more like a child who didn't get what he wanted and would often act out in revenge. These personality traits make Tomura vindictive and petty, similar to the Overhaul instance during the Shie Hassaikai Arc, who hates when he is undermined and seeks retribution when wronged.

Because All For One handed everything over to Tomura, he was often unable to deal with situations that didn't go his way. This was mainly caused by All For One and Kurogiri baby Tomura. However, after All For One and Kurogiri were imprisoned, Tomura had to become a leader and learn how to take care of himself. Tomura's character improves from a spoiled tomboy, but ultimately becomes more power-hungry and vengeful, like All For One.
