  • My Hero Academia makes it clear on many occasions that not all villains are born evil; rather, some are simply victims of circumstance. One perfect and tragic example is Jin Bubaigawara, better known as the villain Twice.

The article from MSN discusses the complexity of the character Twice from the anime and manga series "My Hero Academia." Twice, whose real name is Jin Bubaigawara, is portrayed as a villain with a deeply tragic backstory that adds layers to his character, making him one of the most intricate figures in the series. His Quirk, "Double," allows him to create duplicates of anything, but this power also reflects his internal struggle with identity and self-worth, stemming from a traumatic event where he accidentally created a clone that killed his original self, leading to a mental breakdown. This incident, coupled with his subsequent isolation and manipulation by other villains, showcases how villains can also be victims of their circumstances. Twice's journey from a lonely, confused individual to a member of the League of Villains, where he finds a sense of belonging, highlights themes of redemption, the impact of societal rejection, and the blurred lines between heroism and villainy. His character challenges the audience to empathize with villains, understanding that their actions might be driven by pain and a desperate need for acceptance.
