We also find out that Kurogiri is a Nomu. Eraserhead and Present Mic were able to break through to their former best friend for a moment, but he soon returned to his present state as Kurogiri and his former personality as Oboro is lost again.

What makes this all the sadder is that the image shared by Horikoshi is shared in the context that the three friends had planned to start a hero agency after they graduated together from UA Academy. The translated text from Horikoshi reads:

For the anime releasing today. When I was a student, I only saw the teacher as a creature called a teacher
