Luz: Do you… regret what you did?
Shigaraki: Do I regret my actions? [...] Hardly. The only thing I regret doing is going about it in the way I did. I made a lot of errors back then, and if I were given a second chance, I would do it again, only perhaps with a less violent approach, and perhaps I wouldn’t have created One For All with my future knowledge. To give a very short version of my answer. No. No, I do not. But if I could change small bits and pieces of what I did to make for a more healthy outcome, then I would. Otherwise, I’d keep things the same.
— All For Luz, Chapter 8
"Look, I'd happily apologize to Dad... if what we said wasn't the truth!"
