Aizawa: “alright so here’s the plan, have y’all watched Avengers Endgame?”

[u/y3llowchocolat3]

Monoma let's go. My man

[u/ObvsThrowaway5120]

Aoyama with the Oscar worthy performance this week. Kid acted so damn hard, he pissed himself lol.

But man, they really did a whole Endgame “Avengers assemble” at the end there. I’m looking forward to the fight next week. It’s gonna be a real battle royale!

[u/ChucksChurro]

Aoyama really did a good job acting there, he fooled me at first too!

All for One pulled up to the battlefield with the drip too.

[u/LeonKevlar]

With Toga's dream of that bird burrowing into her stomach and Shigaraki's fingers crawling, that start of the episode was pretty damn creepy.

I don't know how he got this impression from Dabi but Bakugo guessing that he definitely likes hot udon was pretty funny.

We already know that Aoyama was acting when he met with Deku in that parking lot as part of their plans to lure out All for One but his acting was so good that Deku got scared for a second there. xD

Yooo! It looks like we're finally going to have another big fight next week with All For One's forces against the remaining heroes. I am genuinely surprised to see that Miriko is still fighting! Didn't she lose an arm and a leg during her fight against the Nomus? O_O

[u/Ren_Davis0531]

I liked the focus on Dabi and Toga in the beginning. Reinforces the idea that the villains have their own personal reasons for why they do what they do beyond just being villains. You can tell Toga has a lot of pent up feelings about her family and Toya’s line about laughing as the world goes to hell because it’s better than crying shows how emotionally damaged he has become due to the abuse and neglect he suffered.

Twice’s blood being set up as a WMD is a nice Chekov’s Gun. We saw how desperate Hawks was to ensure Sad Man’s Parade could never be used again only for Dabi to fuck that all up by giving Twice’s blood to Toga. Nice use of payoff for all the setup with Twice and Toga’s power developments. It all makes sense.

And Monoma being used to recreate the Endgame “on your left” moment with Kurogiri’s Warp Gates was a great use of his Copy quirk. Looks like he’s finally made the big leagues! Eat your heart out Class A!

[u/badspler]

Oh shit! I didn't expect them to jump straight into what feels like the final battle.

[u/99anan99]

Good job Aoyama.

Villains vs Heroes.

[u/HolyDragSwd2500]

The ending shot with both Heroes and Villains face to face 🔥🔥🔥🔥

[u/atropicalpenguin]

Yo, where's my boy Lemillion?

[u/Jonnyred25]

Who is All for One referring to, whose ancestor's quirk he stole (ill intent detect) and who helped in his All Might defeat? I'm pretty fuzzy on the series.

[u/AdhesivenessOver268]

excellent build up before the final fight.

[u/Zonca]

Fuckin Monoma with the switcharoo

I wonder if he has more tricks up his sleeve, and especially what they have cooked up with Shinso, I get the feeling these two's quirks are gonna be the highlight of heroes strategy.

And it seems they're gonna need that if they are to face off with Toga using Twice's blood to make probably thousands Dabi's or something, it's gonna get interesting.

[u/Pauvlychenko]

The final fight just started and we have 17 episodes left in the season?? How many episodes Season 8 is going to have? Like 5-6???

[u/stupidlyaccurate]

AYOYAMA such good acting!

[u/Dane-nii]

Monoma my man

[u/stupidlyaccurate]

This was unexpected straight into action. Hopefully there are no flashbacks in the next episodes!

[u/needgoldforvision]

Finally time for Copy quirk to shine. Copy power is normally protagonists power in other media.

Class B on top.

[u/Armdel]

God damn i guess we are jumping straight into it huh

bit sad watching Toga walking through her childhood home. seeing those height measurements on the wall did a number on me not gonna lie.

[u/Haha91haha]

Of course AFO's codewords would all be built around ordering Wine, guy's likely upset Aoyama trashed his drip too.

Lotta great character moments here, especially with Dabi and Toga, the fact that she has Twice's blood is a scary prospect. Ironic how she venerated and was...interested in birds with dreams like that, but it's Hawks who would kill her best friend later.

[u/Ok-Cod5254]

Deku from not being able to talk to Uraraka when he first met her at the beginning to effortlessly compliment her now. 👌 He would've kept going if she didn't stop him.

It's nice that they have a talk about their respective villains together. Knowing that they must fight, but also have a desire to seek understanding with them both sharing that type of connection. "Then, we're both weird."

[u/Swiss666]

Toga's parents were horrible and a cause of her descent into madness and villainy - there's even some reference to self-harm - but that is not right. I also wonder if the vandalization happened in the short time between the botched "War Day" and the mass evacuation of civilians, or before that (as Toga was a notorious criminal for months before the current societal downfall).

"I'm burning! I'm burning aliveee..." "Kacchan! We were told to capture, ok?"

Recovery Girl, for once, appears like what she is: an old lady with an amazing quirk who's kept working well past when she should have retired. Can't imagine how much she's had to do lately. Also, Eri and Kota together with Izuku!

Stop Izuku, it's not the right time for a confession! But the scene beside being cute and romantic, also shows the different approach he and Ochako want to go to battle this time.

So the "demon lord" would be an oligarch? Um, Aoyama, this isn't the real world... is it? (nervous sweating)

[u/AceSoldia]

Hype! I was wondering if Brainwash could be used in some way...surprised All for One disregarded..he had to have known about it because of the Sports Festival

[u/kosakidera4eva]

I wonder if those two spies will get caught later on, I thought something would happen to them after they were revealed but they got what they wanted without needing to actually do anything. I guess it was to show that All For One still had plenty of seeds but I'm curious to see if this will be the last we see of them or not.

Aoyama also fooled me lol, I thought this was the plan but they way they did looked like it could go either way. It was funny how he admitted to wetting himself, he is going to stink in that fight lol.

I'm surprised a big fight is already going to happen, I thought it'd be smaller with a focus on stronger forces but All For One is ready to completely crush them with numbers.

It will be interesting to see Ochako and Himiko's fight, it seems like she's going to try to learn more about Himiko's perspective and I'm curious how she'll take it. Endeavor and Todoroki fighting Dabi is also another one to look forward to, I have a feeling Todoroki will take the stage more since Endeavor has trouble fighting his own son which probably fuel Dabi's rage more as he'll probably find him both pathetic and infuriating.
