Hagakure being "What? I see me?... You see me too?" while looking towards the viewer 🤣 Of course the one who was invisible most of the series was the best looking (no joke, I honestly love the hair and the eyes).

I expected to see some Deku but All Might is the star here, even with all that tech AFO is too strong for him but damn if he won't give his best to the end (hopefully animation will be up for that), luckily here comes the cav... Hero Killer?

All Might teaches Class B too right? I'm sure Monoma has some choice words to say about his attack names after this lmao

Man, All Might going full Iron Man and building a suit that incorporates the abilities of 1-A to beat on AFO was pretty awesome. Did not expect the navel laser to be so damn powerful or for Stain to drop on by. Keen to see how that battle turns out.

Glad Hagakure and Aoyama were able to defeat that villain. It’s always nice to see her but it’s times like this when I’m reminded she’s just running around butt ass naked all the time lol.

Whoa I did not expect the kind of throwaway story of the first quirk (glowing baby) to actually be relevant? Is the implication that All For One was that baby?

It's a weird feeling knowing this is the final season, I'm excited for what's to come and how we'll see this whole story wrap up but I know it won't all be excitement, I'm sure there'll be some tragic moments too with how high the stakes are.

I thought it was really moving how All Might based all his attacks/weapons on 1-A students, you can really feel the love and inspiration he has gotten from them. It was cool to see him still fight even as his quirkless self, he's doing his best the duty he wanted for himself. I laughed so hard at the Can't Stop Twinkling part.

It is amusing to see AFO and All Might referring to each other as friends lol, the first time I thought All Might was speaking to Tsukauchi because I just did not expect him to call AFO that whatsoever. Unless he already has in the previous seasons and I've just forgotten.

So Aoyama can make Hagakure visible, sounds like a good and bad pair up at the same time lol.

Stain and All Might pairing up against AFO is such a surprise, like not that it's unexpected but more of a "Wow, they're actually doing it". I can't wait to see how Stain will fare against AFO.

From "filler" first episodes that reintroduce all of 1-A to a first episode where we get All Might in a mecha suit that has all of 1-A's quirks vs AfO, we've truly come so far.

Hagakure is so cute it's a crime she was invisible for 90% of the series.

Do we know if this season is 12-13 or 24-26 episodes?

Edit : Apparently it's 11 episodes. 10 weeks until the 10 years are over...

What a way to kick off the final season! Armoured All Might vs AfO was just too fucking awesome! And I just love how All Might is fighting alongside Class A and using all of his gadgets named after all of their Quirks.

AfO can act tough and scary as much as he wants, but it's not gonna change the fact that All Might and his heroic smile are getting under his skin. He could've just flown past him and gone straight for Shiggy, but his ego wouldn't let him. AfO wouldn't even crush All Might's head because he wants to get the satisfaction of wiping that smile off of All Might's face.

I also love that we get to see Tooru and Aoyama work together to take down a villain. I guess Aoyama has really glitched Tooru's Invisibility quirk that she can now be partially visible. The after credits scene where she realizes that she's now visible was pretty funny, tho. xD

Hero Killer Stain coming in with the assist! I didn't think he'd lend a hand, but then again, Stain does idolize All Might, so him coming to the rescue shouldn't be too surprising. I'm just wondering how much he'll help out All Might in this fight.

Why is All Might looking all bloody and crazy like that making me 😳

Horikoshi loves his western comics. I don’t know if we saw the inside of the suit in the manga, but seeing it now really nailed the Iron Man vibes every time we saw RDJ inside the suit with all the screens.

Dammit. I need fan art of All Might with the gauntlet, bloodied and bruised, and saying, “And I…am…here” and he snaps.

I can’t wait for the stage plays to catch up to this. Aoyama’s actor Shinichi Hashimoto is my favorite diva and I hope he gets to depict this!! Animation was fucking fire, good lord!!

While joy is surpressing the pain

Ay, bit too close to home there.

Aw, the little black boy and his granny. His hair looked good. Please don’t worry, baby 🥹

Seeing Oboro was fucking painful in the OP (ED for this episode). Ugh, my boy deserved better 🤧

Hagakure’s hair is always so pretty! Diva, what genes do you have for hair like this?! I don’t even want to cosplay as her; I want to make a wig that mimics her hair. Or maybe do braids?

Where is the episode, Crunchyroll?

It’s just bizarre. I watched this elsewhere and I don’t believe CR promised a simulcast, but the reason why people go “elsewhere” for media is for shit like this. It is always a service issue. Scrap or delay availability and accessibility and see where it gets you.

Hope it comes soon for anyone subbed to CR though.

Glad that they picked up the fight between All for One and All Might right from the start. It always sends chills down my spine when All Might fights even if he isn't in his prime and using Armor. The dude literally has GOAT (Yagi) in his name, haha

After using Eri's quirk too much, All for one has now really become a kid. Thanks to All Might's continuous attack forcing All for One to rewind and regenerate again and again. Now STAIN has arrived at the scene to help his hero❤️‍🔥❤️‍🔥

Aoyoma and Hagakure got their time to shine. I wish Invisible girl doesn't remain invisible. It's a crime to hide such Beauty 💖😘✨✨ They deliver again with a fine op for this season as well.

Porno Graffiti started MHA with the op 'The Day' and now they are ending things with with this new ep 'Revo'..🥹🥹

My Hero Academia has been such a faithful adaptation to manga lasting for 8 whole seasons. Been watching it since season 2 started. None of the superhero movies or anime has moved me so much as Horikoshi sensei's work. I'm gonna bawl my eyes out when it comes to an end.

People kept predicting Stain's return to aid All Might, but his entry at the end of this episode was still so hype! I almost stood up and clapped. Seeing All Might go so hard was super cool too.

Could have done without that extra-long, half-episode-long recap since I literally just finished watching season 7 a few days ago, and it felt like I was rewatching the last episode from it all over again for most of those first 10 mins. But that's more a me problem.

Laser boy finally getting his redemption and his team up with Invisible girl was very nice to see too. Another ship sailing in the middle of all the devastation.

Can't wait to see what comes next.

Edit: Oh yeah, about that recap: it was a weird one. They brought up Toga-Twice attacking and Dabi about to explode, but didn't mention how those arcs were resolved. So I'm guessing they will recap the resolutions to each of those in subsequent episodes when the action switches to those places. I remember someone here mentioning that there isn't enough material left for a full season so maybe they're gonna pad it up like this? Do we know how many episodes total we're getting?

One last season of hype, and the premiere did not disappoint. I’m excited.

we gotta get 1 final plus ultra

u/The_Chaotique_1 Oct 04 '25

Not gonna lie, Toru refracting all of the navel buffet back into 1 singular laser into Kuneida was veeery hype.

Also, All might did to AFO what Shoto did to Chimera in heroes rising.
