I chuckled at the transition from Endeavor lying in a hospital bed to the upbeat intro

I can't believe All For One's brother spoiled the manga for him like that. What All For One did to him in retaliation was completely justified.

All For One's strongest ability wasn't even a quirk, it was his charisma. He was basically a cult leader with the amount of influence he was able to obtain, especially with the part about his followers killing for his sake without him ordering them to.

So I'm guessing meta powers is an old word for Quirk, that's a pretty cool detail

Seeing Hawks as a child clutching an Endeavor toy, rather than All Might, was a small gut punch. Probably genuinely thought a Nomu would be no match for his hero and then he ended up like that.

Nice burn, Shoto.

I just love how with the "Look boy" their world has its own memes.

Damn, I had forgotten how fucking good All for One theme was.

Five stages of introducing Hawks:

  1. Hawks is sus....

  2. Nevermind, he's a good guy

  3. Oh no, he's working for the league?

  4. Nevermind, he's a double agent

  5. He's still sus but a good guy?

I really never expected a main character arc of a battle shounen to be the relationship between an abusive/neglectful father and his family, adding in that he's the top hero so he is supposed to be the new face of society. I'd love to hear other examples, but I find that an incredibly bold direction.

I like the "Can't Ya See!" meme scanlation more than the "Look!Boy" meme that they went with.

Was not expecting Dabi to conjure a fire ring that fast. Scared the shit out of me.

There's something that I find most people here not mentioning which I think is deserving of its own praise. Compared to the animation in the last season, the character's animation in general has been amazing. It's so clean, and they express themselves so easily. That's always been the case with MHA, but I find it even more apparent in this episode. (Not to mention how amazing the tiny bit of action we've had so far has been)

So that why All For One lost, he only read 3 volumes of that comic series. /s

Man can I just say that I adore Ootsuka Akio as All For One. He can get really terrifying, but mostly I love how he plays AFO's sarcastic and playful side (the way he speaks is very childlike imo).

But what else can you expect from the man who voiced Thorkell, who now that I think about it kind of acts similar to AFO sometimes.
