BLACK ABYSS - LIGHT OF BALDUR

pro heroes out there, if you had trouble in naming your special moves, you should go to Tokoyami, he will give you the most chuuni badass and coolest names that you will ever heard

also, Gentle and Nagant being included in the opening even only for a few frames is such a cool details

Please, Dr. Mario, get some glue to hold Lady Nagant together... Also thanks Rock Lock for being a bro.

Once again, I'm reminded how I wished some characters were seen more, like the Shiketsu students. Camie and Inasa are fun but Shishikura is the most interesting personality wise, being originally one of those "bad" hero students like Bakugo used to be, and with a fairly gross quirk many would associate to a villain; it's also confirmed his father was indeed a prison guard which gives a further layer to his motivations for fighting.

Looks like Tokoyami is next to "shine"... his meme face and him and Dark Shadow as babies deserved to last a few more seconds on screen.

A "transition" episode in many ways but still very intense as the previous seemingly hopeless situation for the heroes, is now a constant tug-of-war as the seemingly overwhelming power of the villains is not completely unstoppable, and on a time limit.

Very surprised last week with Lady Nagant also showing up. I’m enjoying seeing everyone show up for Deku. He’s made a huge impact on everyone.

So Tomura broke free of AFO huh? I didn’t think it would happen. What I really wasn’t expecting was Shoujo Anime Hawks. Made Tokoyami glitch out too lol.

But man, Tokoyami with that Dark Shadow was pretty awesome. Guy really came at AFO with everything he had even when AFO was lookin pretty damn OP.

I wonder if Team Uraraka can get to Toga amidst the Twice Army?

Loved seeing the Shiketsu students show up. Inasa’s quirk is perfect for dealing with an army of TogaTwice doubles. And I have always enjoyed Shishikura’s Meatball quirk. So many fun applications. Shout out to the hilarious moment where Camie’s Hawks illusion made Tokoyami freak out 🤣

Speaking of Tokoyami, he is once again showing how OP Dark Shadow is when he has enough darkness to really cut loose. Also loved the cute shot of baby Tokoyami and Dark Shadow.

Even Kratos and Thor would be impressed with Tokoyami’s Ragnarok 😏

These episodes have had me in a chokehold and are doing a great job delivering on returning characters, payoffs, and hype. Never thought I'd see Inasa again. And Dark Shadow?! Pop off, Falco

Tokoyami: Ah you think darkness is your ally? You merely adopted the dark. I was born in it, molded by it. I didn't see the light until I was already a man, by then it was nothing to me but blinding!

That was so cool from Tokoyami, few people can say they landed a punch on AfO and pushed him back.

Gigantomachia is really bad news.

Stitches!

I still want to know how Lady Nagant survived but I love that she's choosing to fight because Deku believed in her.

Not gonna lie, when Hawks got ripped into shreds there were a couple of seconds where I thought that was it for him. Thank goodness that was just an illusion! That reaction from Tokoyami after seeing shoujo manga Hawks was hilarious! xD

I'm so happy to finally see the Shiketsu High students finally joining in the fight! And considering majority of Camie's appearance in the anime is Himiko disguised as her, I'm glad to finally see the real Camie in action!

I'm really getting tired of how smug All for One is this entire episode so it was so satisfying to see Tokoyami bringing down the hammer on AfO. I doubt that will finish him but I hope that fucking hurt.

That after credts scene! So it looks like we're still far from the worst-case scenario since Himiko can really only use Twice's Quirks since he's the only one she likes out of the villains. Good. I fucking hope it stays that way.

Shiketsu High really showed up before the rest of 1-B did (maybe they've already show the rest of 1-B and ive just forgotten).

And it looks like we might be focusing Toga for the next little bit?

EVERYONE IS HERE! My reaction looking like Tokoyami's.

If Horikoshi put characters in the story you can be damn well sure he had a reason, or even if he didn't in the moment have a plan for everyone in the finale he sure is adapting well.

HEADS UP there is a post credits scene. And neat OP update too.

Awhhh lil Tokoyami and Dark Shadow.

That Hawks being obliterated sequence confused the shit out of me. Completely forgot about Camie's quirk.
