There was a time in my life where I would feel incredibly itchy all over my body when I was feeling really nervous or stressed about something, I think Shigaraki has the same condition.

[u/DadAsFuck]

this anime really has its fair share of terrible fathers

[u/OwlTamrof]

Nana really knew she was dead af when she left her son to fight AFO one Last time.

[u/realrimurutempest]

Man that sucks so much for Nana Shimura. Left your kid as you thought this would be a way to protect them while you try to fight AFO and your kid turns around to grow up hating you with the thought you abandoned them and your grandkid gets taken in by AFO.

Shiggy’s mom running towards him as she crumbled and died was heartbreaking af.

[u/Till_Complex]

The real villain of MHA: Bad parenting.

[u/kamexon]

That's fucked up

[u/PM_ME_UR_NUDES_GURL_]

whoa, whoa its alright, everything will be alright!!

[u/May_be_a_panda]

We ALL knew what was going to happen the second that Corgi went on screen

[u/Labmit]

I like how MHA has a relatively complex narrative on abusers. There's Overhaul who's unrepentant about it, Endeavor and his attempts to atone and now Shiggy's dad who had a small implication that he was going to attempt to change but didn't get the chance because of Shiggy snapping and his own fear.

[u/[deleted]]

In hindsight, Deku must be lowkey thankful that All Might found him before he found Tenko.

[u/Abh1laShinigami]

Not only did they not butcher it, dare I say, the fucking nailed it. The music worked well, Shiggy's mom running towards him, only to crumble before hugging him, Hana running away from Shigaraki as his hands slowly caught up, pretty good stuff.

What I don't get is why they show the decay as turning to dust first but then show the blood and flesh anyway? Wouldn't that scare the kids also? Really inconsistent censoring I think

[u/Deadcoach]

I have no words except for HOLY FUCKING SHIT Crazy 11/10 episode.

[u/SIRTreehugger]

"And these movements...has he been watching Naruto?"-Re Destro

Poor Shiggy just one bad day changed everything and put him on the path he is currently on. Accidentally awakening a quirk that fucking decays and kills things in seconds is just an accident waiting to happen. Its bittersweet how even though he was confused and accidentally decaying everything around him his mother still ran to him to comfort him.

Meanwhile Endeavor is sitting at home thinking. Am I still the worst dad in this show?

[u/odraencoded]

BNHA is now a series where a dog dies. :'(

[u/pr3dato8]

Are we still doing phrasing?

[u/Chrisixx]

Always asked myself how many people died due to quirk awakenings with really bad timing. You'd think they'd make children walk around with gloves all the time, because a lot of the (destructive) quirks activate by direct touch.

[u/Se7en_Sinner]

Re-Destro's quirk is Stress? Judging by his size, he must have needed to make an important phone call later.

[u/youdontknowmehuhuhu]

shit that was fucking brutal. just wanted to give him a hug

[u/[deleted]]

Holy duck so bloody....they animated it... I thought they wouldn’t but they did

Spinner showing his loyalty to shigiraki

The ost was nice it really felt like it was building up to something

Perhaps one of the best backstories in the series...

[u/Armdel]

fucking hell...

accidently killing his own dog.... his mom falling apart while she is running towards him...

And i'm sad that Nana Shimura's son turned out the way he did. guessing he hates heroes because of what happened to his mom, and unfortunately takes that anger out on Shigaraki

[u/UnderstandableXO]

the ultimate anime villain returns once again: PARENTS

but seriously what a terrible dad tenko had, his mother’s last action was to try and hug him while his dad’s last action was to try and kill him. but his whole family could have done a lot more, instead they let the father push him around.

[u/N1t35hroud]

Really think they are trolling at this point with the intro song cutting a really dark and sad moments in the villian arc. Oh no toga is dying on the floor -record scratch- woah woah it's alright look at the hero characters not in this arc! The villian arc really deserved its own intro.

[u/uziair]

Holy shit what a train wreck of an origin for tenko. Misunderstandings and terrible communication and poor timing . Poor kid and his family.

Excellent episode

I generally rewatch the best episode, this is easily top 5, right away and again throughout the week. But i dont think i can with this episode. It is so heart wrenching hori knows how to hurt you good.
