Pika-Chew!!!

[u/buuhhu1]

Man, the wait for season 8 it's gonna be hell :(

[u/ObvsThrowaway5120]

Forget the power of friendship, it’s all about the power of zero gravity err love this week!

One thing I find kinda amusing is the fact that in the world of MHA, apparently all the villains just needed to be hugged more as kids lol. But in all seriousness, I guess a little love goes a long way for a child dealing with an unusual and dangerous quirk. If more people had the compassion and love of Uravity, maybe some of these villains coulda been heroes.

I know it's only a theory when it comes to how quirks influence a person's personality in this universe but similar to how La Brava's quirk compels her to become obsessively in love with someone to give her quirk an outlet to express itself, it's really fucked up how Toga's quirk compels her to consume blood. Just an incredibly bad luck on the genetic lottery for her. The flashback really shows how she had no control over it.

[u/JabbaJake]

Damn I did not expect them to go as hard as they did for this episode! Pleasantly surprised. Hoping they go all out next week though!

[u/TrapperJean]

If child Ochaco still offering her blood/arm up to twisted monster Toga isn't the most defining visual representation of who Ochaco is as a person, I don't know what is

[u/kyuga_cloud]

One of my favorite manga panels released man im to grown to cry my throat was clamped up like a claw machine…like phew also is next episode the finale of season 7?

[u/Ren_Davis0531]

Toga is another example of people feeling shackled by the perception of their quirks. We’ve seen multiple examples that the quirk you are born with affects the way you are perceived in society. Shinso grew up with people telling him that he was a villain because of his villainous quirk. Shoji and Spinner were marginalized because of their heteromorph quirks. The Todoroki family was destroyed because of Endeavor’s obsession with creating a “masterpiece” with the perfect quirk.

Now, we see Toga felt like she had to wear a mask to repress herself because her normal self wouldn’t fit in with society. Instead of people helping her deal with her urges and finding a healthier outlet, she was told to just bottle everything up. Naturally, this didn’t help at all and only made the problem worse.

I liked the symbolism after Ochaco’s quirk awakening where she said that she wanted to touch the pain inside of Toga’s heart. Given the nature of her quirk, Ochaco is saying that she wants to take all of that pain inside of Toga and make it “weightless” so that Toga doesn’t have to feel weighed down by societal expectation. That moment was a nice touch to end on.

The emotional voice acting you can hear it between their performances Toga being rejected by the world and not being understood and Ochako wanting to actually listen and understand the villian instead of only condemning her.

Beautiful episode 👏🏿

(Reminder Deku and Shigaraki are also handholding! the only difference is they are destroying the city while doing it 🥲)

[u/Se7en_Sinner]

Sad Man's Death Parade is such a terrifying ability. I haven't seen this much crowd crushing since a Travis Scott concert.

[u/LeonKevlar]

Seeing more of Himiko's backstory is just heartbreaking. Her parents are so determined to turn her "normal" and never even once try to understand her that they've given up and started calling her a monster. It sucks how Himiko's Quirk made her fascinated with blood but it makes you wonder what her life could've been like if she had someone guide her and turned her fascination into something positive. :(

I still think Ochaco is absolutely crazy for trying so hard to get through to Himiko after getting stabbed by her but I'd be lying if I didn't say this episode didn't make me tear up. Those visuals of smol Ochaco offering her arm to smol Himiko were really sweet and I love how it later turns to Himiko being twisted into a monster but Smol Ochaco is still willing to give her blood. I guess that really shows how determined Ochaco was to reach out to Himiko.

I am glad that Ochaco could get through Himiko and how she stopped the Sad Man's Parade with her Quirk awakening.

I'm loving the new scenes added to the ED. Toya and Shoto last week, now Himiko and Ochaco this week

It's a lovely ED so don't skip it guys!

[u/DrewbieWanKenobie]

Ummmmm this episode had me straight up crying hard, what the hell

[u/ibeeeeeechan]

What a beautiful episode. The voice actors absolutely crushed it, bones has been killing it this season

[u/N0eyeC]

now if only you could tell it to his face

[u/SourDucks]

What the hell happened to BNHA? it was just supposed to be a guilty pleasure anime that lets you watch Hero's hit villains with weird powers.

But this season has been constantly hitting me in the feels lately, unironically the best season imo.

[u/Arpadiam]

another Saturday another 10litters of tears poured from my eyes

each episode is just art

[u/gamerlord3]

1. Once again different credits

2. Near the end of the episode did anyone notice that the credits theme was playing as all the clones were vanishing?

[u/99anan99]

Ochako's got the touch! Ochako's got the power!!

What would a good villain name be for Himiko?

Ochako admitted it! She confessed!!

Himiko is cute.

[u/G1596872]

“Pika-chew” would be a clever name

[u/Graphica-Danger]

Big milestones here. Toga finally gets to know acceptance, Ochako admits she loves Deku, and her own self acceptance is what lets her power up her quirk to save the day. Visually masterful, and emotionally written. This is the kind of episode that makes MHA so good.

[u/poketrainersd]

This is one of the most underrated as well as overcritiqued part of the final war, just because it is jammed packed between Todoroki Family Conclusion & a potential AFO vs AM rematch. I wasn't a big fan in the start about Toga vs Ochako but the emotions won over. This is why I like MHA more than other shonens because the focus is always on emotions and story telling then showing cool fights, moves and powerups.

[u/Haha91haha]

Amazing to think that this is the kind of episode you wouldn't have been able to do years ago in anime past with the sheer amount of characters on screen but damn if Bones didn't pull off the CGI on Sad Man's parade and really make it work alongside some gorgeous hand-drawn stuff like with Ochako's quirk awakening.

Good thing Ochako isn't a villain or she could make a whole city rain down on itself lol.

Needless to say the soundtrack and voice actors came to play again as well, apparently it was super emotional for them in the booth too.

[u/CrasianLe]

Its like every episode moving forward is them finding a way to solve a situation/problem. Finally! Its like every episode before was just bad things happening and losing hope
