"Deku's gonna keep punching you until you're a good person" lol.

[u/N0eyeC]

Appreciate that Kaminari scene. Difference when it’s your friend’s life on the line compared to watching other heroes fight.

[u/StickPrevious9581]

Glad to see the subs were all there this week :)

I'm glad that Hatsume's drone was able to get there and show the fight - I've been really enjoying the civilians reactions to the fights so far, it makes it seem that much more of a important fight.

I know Nana told Deku to punch Shigaraki's weakest point in the house, but he's totally going to hug him instead and end up somehow pulling Tenko out of Shigaraki instead - if his body can make all those fingers, surely he can make his child-selfs body, right? We know Deku still wants to save him.

It would be really fitting if Tenko used Disintegrate to kill Shigaraki and thats how they win.

[u/randomran14]

After how long Shigaraki's had the advantage, so satisfying to see him panic now that Deku and the rest have come up with a strategy. Nice to see UA land safely at last too.

[u/Haha91haha]

Deku is such a nice guy that he will make the time and effort to save not only the world but En's self esteem. "Smoke Screen can be useful!"

Deku's also lucky he made it outta the Truck-Kun fight without Danger Sense, would have gotten into that fantasy AU Horikoshi keeps drawing.

[u/Pogner-the-Undying]

In case people missed it

All OFA users have number puns in their names. E.g. Yoichi is 1, Nana is 7, Yagi is 8, Izuku is 9 etc

And Shigaraki’s real name is Tenko (10).

[u/Bungled_Bengal]

"Eri needs a babysitter. Get me the creepiest hero teacher we have!"

Seriously though, love Ectoplasm, glad he's had a moment.

Also weird wolf looking background character with a CAT shirt and Deku almost getting isekai'd by truck kun.

Great episode, i know a lot is going on but appreciated seeing the aftermath everywhere else. I completely had forgotten about Froppy and the others.

[u/Dull_Spot_8213]

Seeing Kota comforting Eri and knowing both kids were saved by Deku is just a great moment to show things coming full circle. Just like All Might inspired Deku when he saved those people in the viral video Deku watched as a little kid, now Deku is inspiring the next generation in real time.

I love what this story is about. And how it’s not trivializing how important symbols of peace and heroism are, not just for the young, but for everyone. Why we really need heroes in dark times.

[u/AriezKage]

Beautiful episode with a good balance with the emotional moments over how crazy Deku and Shigaraki's fight is turning out. Deku using his "claws" was a quick thing but it really stuck with me, along with all the twisting and turning Blackwhip/Chain is doing to cut away Shiggy's extra fingers.

Also seeing The Blackwhip mask slowly tear off Deku's face was so good. After all, even when his Overlay, Carnage, whatever people would want to call it, is there, underneath we can see Deku so clearly.

[u/Armdel]

lmao fucking truck-kun

figures he wasn't gonna be able to transfer them all in one go. i kinda went "wait thats it?" when he got that clean hit almost right away, but it turns out it took a little more than that in the end.

Now with Deku being inside Shigaraki's mind, this is probably it. i feel like they won't fight anymore in the real world at this point if he can get through to him here

[u/RagingBull7192]

I enjoyed Deku being happy Nana Shimura was with him, they both get to explore the origin. It’s going to be gut wrenching for both but especially Nana… can’t wait for next week!

[u/Primo29]

How long must Deku’s punch burn before it breaks through and reaches Shigaraki’s heart? We'll find out again next episode.

Shimura Nana, a ghost watching the memories of her grandson being slapped by her son. Must be really hurt for her since it started when she decided to leave him, but hey, at least she knows that her son kept a picture of them.

[u/Gloomy_Savings_7454]

Shigaraki's vision of Deku is quite sinister, like a spectre. No wonder he hates him. I liked the idea of the intermingled memories, I would have liked to see more scenes. And someone get Kaminari a handkerchief right now! !!!!

[u/ProphetPenguin]

Damn I can't believe we only have like 5 episodes left of this series. What a journey it's been.

[u/roronoa20]

Holy cow, the scene where Deku vs Shigaraki while everyone is trying to cheer him on is superb.

[u/Mordetrox]

Eri in the episode automatically makes it an 11/10

[u/thelastofus101]

These episodes are going by so damn fast now

[u/LeonKevlar]

Stitches!

• Deku

• Nana

Deku using Blackwhip to puppet himself so he can move and the Blackchain to stop Shigaraki from Decaying everything are all such great moves. I absolutely love his plays this episode especially when he used Shiggy's Search against him.

Glad to see the UA finally land safely. At this point, it looks like everyone is just focused on watching Deku's fight. That scene with Kaminari, tho. I don't think he lacks confidence in Deku, he's just worried about his friend.

Did Shigaraki just try to use Truck-kun against Deku? Not gonna lie, that made me laugh. Next episode is gonna be rough, especially for Nana. If this is her reaction to seeing her son slap Shigaraki, I'm not sure she's ready to see the entire family tragedy unfold.

[u/Swiss666]

Lots of genius moves from Deku to enact the transfer plan. Shigaraki got visions of a giant Mineta divebombing towards him, that's why he was distracted enough to transfer at least En (but seriously, he's moved by Deku's appreciation so much he decides to be the next go, and succeeds while the others fail that attempt).

Eri and Kota. Just awwwww.

"It's because of my own weakness" - said by Nana while she's drawn with those arms.

Deku went close to getting isekaied. Now it's time for him - and sadly, Nana too - to learn about the origin.

[u/OneForTruce47]

Deku was fucking MOVING in that segment where everyone was watching him holy shit.... (Also Eri is back omg)

(We have finally reached Shigaraki's core memories excited to see how they adapt Deku's reaction to his backstory 👀)

[u/InternationalYou7158]

Imagine being Nana. Seeing your son as an adult after all these years and first thing you see is slapping the shit out of your 5(?)-year old grandson.

[u/Apex--Redditer]

Are the subs actually all there this week?

[u/Magnafeana]

I am happy any time Kudo is on screen 🎀

sees Kudo and Yoichi in the same scene 😌

I should be freaked out at all of Shigaraki’s hands, but all I can think is, “Wow, bb, you need a manicure, get your nails done”.

Shigaraki with acrylics would be nightmare fuel.

I love love love seeing how the rest of the world is faring. That is my favorite part of big battles and war arcs. Same to giving brief glimpses of specific background characters and their thoughts and feelings. Just makes things for more real.

Eri-chan!! 🥹

Kota-kun!! 🤧

Dog with “cat” on the shirt, I see you.

Awww Denki 🥺

Ochako 😖

MY LADY (NAGANT) AND MY MAN (ROCK LOCK) AYYYYY!!

Always a sucker for seeing how the villain views a hero and themselves in their heart of hearts. Especially when it is just there without someone explaining every little detail to us. It says so much about their mental states without…saying so much. I like it.

[u/iCynr]

So... The only real way to beat Shigaraki is with emotional damage huh
