While he is visibly distressed in battle, he is able to walk around without them as shown when he confronts Midoriya in the shopping mall.

<p>I believe that there is a scene where Tomura watches a hand in a pool of blood and calls his parents, so I would presume his parents were killed and the hand on his face is his father’s. I know it sounds creepy, but it would make sense.</p>
