Critics say “Maruta Shiga” is a reference to human experimentation in Japan-occupied China.
For quite some time now, My Hero Academia has been a near-perfect example of an internationally attractive manga/anime series.
Add in a respectable production budget and speedily produced localizations, and My Hero Academia has been a worldwide hit.
– Shueisha Regarding the name Maruta Shiga, which appears in Chapter 259 of My Hero Academia, I sincerely apologize for the great discomfort this inadvertently caused to many people.
Regarding the name Shiga, the character himself was infatuated with All For One, the previous boss of the League of Villains whose real name was Shigaraki.
