Gran Torino is introduced as All Might’s former mentor, the Yoda to All Might’s Obi-Wan.

Gran Torino is actually heavily inspired by Yoda, down to his small stature and pretending to be senile.

Deku is horrified at the sight, and charges Shigaraki with vengeance.

It would’ve made more sense, narratively speaking, to kill Gran Torino in this scene.

Deku’s rage and subsequent beatdown of Shigaraki would be far more justified.
