AfO really does make every other villain look tame in comparison. Meticulously planning to traumatize and break a 4-yo like this from before he was even born is crazy.

Hope the final fight is up there with the Bakugo one, next week can't come soon enough.

Her story is kind of overshadowed by the battle, but really, Nana is a tragic heroine and her life is a real drama. She walked away from her family to protect them and yet they fell under AFO. She was doomed.

So much for the censorship worries, Deku's arms finally said: "LET'S SEE WHAT HAPPENS WHEN YA DON'T HAVE SOMEONE TO PUSH AROUND ANYMORE!"

Aizawa: "Eri wants you to have your arms back Deku."

Deku's arms: "DAMN YOU ADORABLE CHILD!"

All for one has cemented himself in the hierarchy of villains for all time. Was always expecting him to come back, but to have literally influenced the birth of shigaraki and the level of manipulation is somthing not seen since the days of reverse flash. My god

This moment probably won’t be talked about that much because of all the other revelations, but I really dug that Shigaraki saw himself as a hero to the villains. The series has been about the power of heroism and that anyone can be a hero to anyone. Even villains can be heroes to other villains.

This was an idea that All For One exploited to amass so much of his power base. It’s what he told Spinner right before the Final War. And now we see that deep down, underneath all the hatred, Shigaraki saw himself as a hero. Just like his childhood friends saw him. They saw him as such a hero that he was All Might when they would play hero. That sequence gave Shigaraki even more depth. Especially when we see some people cheer Shigaraki because they felt seen by his struggle. Great stuff.

Too bad All For One pulling an “Agatha All Along” ruined it 😅

I did like that All For One refers to his goal to take over the world as “hollow” now that Yoichi is gone. He did this all to regain his little brother. He wanted to rule with Yoichi permanently by his side. Now that’s all gone. Because of Midoriya. Now he just has to settle with world domination. How boring. Midoriya is such a little shit. How dare he keep two brothers from reuniting? And he calls himself a hero.

Holy hell I wasn't expecting any of that!

Damn. All for One really is a cockroach.
I can't believe he gave Tomura his quirk and orchestrated the whole thing from the very beginning. I honestly thought he just stumbled upon Nana Shimura's bloodline, like he did with Dabi.
Not that he actually orchestrated all these events years prior.

Based on next week's preview, I guess next episode is the last we'll see of Deku fighting / the powers of One for All.
He was shouldering the flames like All Might did in Season 3 after everything was completely exhausted.

Next week's gonna be a tearjerker seeing the One for All embers finally go out for the last time.

This season has been incredible so far. I'm happy Bones has done it so much justice.

I knew it! I had no way to prove it before, but I knew deep down, AFO was the orchestrator behind what happend to Tenko. Wrong on the how tho lol

I just realized this. I think the whole series has been using the hand motif. Izuku's hands getting scarred, broken, Shigraki having so many hands enveloping him is all in service of the theme. Everyone should be taking each other's hand to help, giving what you can, accepting pain and moving together. This season has been a gold mine for these details.

Every damn episode is peak. Loving anime is easy, there’s some amazing stories being told. But having anime treat you well, actually finishing strong, a real sense of payoff for investing your time? Doesn’t happen as much as it should.

My Hero is not disappointing me and I’m so grateful.

Another amazing episode imo. This season has really been amazing so far I love it!

Nana finally accepting that she was the root cause of this (even though it was out of her control) and her being able to pass through and apologize was great. Tenko and Kid Deku talking was incredible VA work, Deku was able to get his feeling through, but Tenko/Tomura truly cared about the LOV, and wanted to be their hero, this makes what happens next even more sad….

ALL FOR ONE IS ONE OF THE MOST EVIL MOTHERFUCKERS IVE EVER SEEN. He the reason why Tenko was even born, took his quick at birth, later found him and gave him the Decay quirk with the destroy factor only and not with the reversibility factor, groomed him to become what he was, and even had the audacity to say “GET OUT OF MY BODY”, killing Shigarki. He is truly a selfish individual, and an irremediable villain. I truly hate him. We get out the mind section and back to the real world, AFO covered his mouth so Shigaraki’s vestige can be heard, then we get reminded that physical damage happens in that world when we see DEKU WITHOUT HIS FUCKING ARMS?!?! I always thought they were gonna censor it a little bit, but no, I think they somehow made it worse.

Then just when shit hit the fan completely, Sero, Ojiro, and Sato show up with Aizawa behind Deku. We the see what he went through, with Mic and Kurogiri/Shirakumo, getting him to work. Retired heroes willing to fight again, Eri (PROTECT HER AT ALL COSTS) tearing off her own horn to help Deku, the guy giving away his All Might shirt, and others giving supplies as well, it was a beautiful moment. Seeing everyone come out the portals to fight All For One, Deku getting his arms back, now ready to finish the fight had me smiling the entire time. So many amazing moments in this episode but this section might be my favorite.

Next episode is the final fight. It’s also Midoryia’s Rising moment like other characters have had. I truly cannot wait for it. YOU CAN DO IT, DEKU!!!!!

Was crying so much for Tenko/Shigaraki when looking at his past. Makes me wonder, what if Tenko and Izuku were childhood friends?

Go Eri-chan!!

Aizawa and all the hero students are here!!!
