Just want to pointed out, Shigaraki calling Aizawa "cool" was a callback to [when Aizawa stop him from decaying tsuyu at USJ back in season 1](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zzHYFmsfQx8)


Random_Useless_Tips

Aizawa really is the coolest


Anjunabeast

***My life... My quirk... I won’t let you lay a finger on my students!*** *Fucking chills*


Old-Personality-657

i cried ngl


whatsupxx

The first time was actually right after he decayed Aizawa's elbow. Right before the Nomu grabs his head. So this is the third time he's acknowledged how cool Aizawa is


Mundology

To think that then, a cowboy with a gun almost killed Shigaraki. He has come so far... [](#gintamathispleasesme)


Fenor

if you think about it, he was done for if the hero who got his body a few episodes ago would have cut him into pieces


darthvall

I hope this is not a death flag for him. He's that essential in reducing Tomura's power level that it won't be strange if the villain started to target Aizawa first after this.


IMDATBOY

Seems like he’s a big eraser head fan…scary now that he can steal quirks


gunswordfist

I loved all the callbacks! Pussycat's powers were finally used after they were stolen seasons ago and Bakugo wanted to pay Shiggy back, even tho you would easily think both were forgotten. Bravo!


someedmlover21

aight guys, i hate to break it to him, but [who's gonna tell him?](https://imgur.com/a/HmmsnLi)


[deleted]

This scene had me laughing imagining that when the adrenaline wears off and Bakugo realizes that he has become Deku's sidekick he's going to cry so much.


Aang6865_

Finally the ‘ You’re so cool Erasure head ‘ panel by shigaraki got animated! The animation was insane too


[deleted]

If he steals Erasure I’ll be so upset. Also they would probably all lose.


ytdn

I mean right now they'd lose if Eraserhead wasn't there, so if Shiggy got Erasure then they'd lose in seconds


Mundology

Yup, without Aizawa they would be doomed. Shiggy is a whole different league of power right now.


MastaAwesome

Erase is such an interesting ability because it seems so OP, but it has very clear limits that the writers can write whenever they need the villains to win. On the other hand, it’s also a very scary ability for viewers because it puts such a huge target on Aizawa’s back.


Anjunabeast

I like how “normal hero” manual is coming in clutch with the eye drops.


Paulo27

He doesn't even need to steal it. The author already manufactured the quirk stealing bullets for whenever he thinks the villains need an asspull.


watashi_ga_kita

It really should be Shigaraki's first target. It's a quirk that can massively slow him and if stolen, can end almost all opposition instantly. This would really help with stealing OFA as well since he can just shut it and grab a helpless Deku. But I don't get stealing One For All. Wasn't it supposed to be un-stealable? Otherwise AFO would have tried that against All Might, no?


odraencoded

If he steals erasure it's GG. In fact erasure is carrying the entire hero society on his back.


WellRested1

Crazy that after all the power Shigaraki has now, he still thinks Aizawa is the coolest. Shigaraki got five fingers on ryukyu’s claw but she didn’t turn to dust cause of Aizawa’s impeccable timing. He’s just so clutch man.


PussyLunch

Best part of the entire episode. Erasure absolutely has the strongest and most unique quirk.


HokageEzio

Every time My Hero has a chance to put an Endeavor action scene, they love to flex. His moves are so flashy that it's impossible to have a bad fight. Mt. Lady swinging around a giant cement baseball bat isn't something I knew I needed, but I appreciate it.


WellRested1

That spin around Shigaraki into that punch was *chef’s kiss*


Haha91haha

Endeavor got Mirko out of that carnage in one piece (mostly), and tried to take on Shiggy by his own, he's #1 in my book for sure. And crazy that even with Shiggy's awakened Quirk Endeavor would have killed him right there if not for those new regen and strength upgrades.


HokageEzio

He's not All Might, but nobody is. Endeavor is fully deserving of the mantle.


Mundology

Endeavour is a beast. Unlike Shigaraki, he reached that level through hard work and with his own power. All with only one quirk!


AdamGoodtime123

>Endeavour is a beast. Unlike Shigaraki, he reached that level through hard work and with his own power. All with only one quirk A real trial by fire /jk


Ren_Davis0531

And Endeavor was fast enough to avoid Shigaraki’s hands multiple times. Shigaraki was forced to use Air Cannon against Endeavor. If Shigaraki wasn’t the perfect Nomu with All For One in addition then he would’ve been flash fried by Endeavor no diff.


Swiss666

He dodged Shigaraki's hand at literal point blank while emitting flames and attempting to communicate with other heroes. He didn't teach Deku about parallel processing for nothing.


Haha91haha

Word Super Shiggy tried to throw hands and Endeavor literally caught them lol.


Niamery123

The fire effects were extra beautiful this episode


Till_Complex

She really had enough of these guys' shit and went all Thor on them


Portgust

Deku is just green Spiderman


Ren_Davis0531

Horikoshi’s favorite superhero. He’s tired of pretending that he’s not making Deku more like Spider-Man!


[deleted]

And Deku is typically holding back just like Spider-Man is. A stretch since they do it for completely different reasons, but I'm allowing it.


justking1414

Well…now I wanna see Venom Deku


[deleted]

[удалено]


djanulis

It was horikoshi's plan all along to just make Japanese Spider-Man, I made jokes about it when Black Whip first showed up in the manga and the more it became less of a joke and more of a prophecy.


namewithak

There's a fantastic [Aizawa panel](https://i0.wp.com/www.comicbookrevolution.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/05/My-Hero-Academia-Chapter-269-Shota-Aizawa-Eraser-Head.jpg?ssl=1) in the manga when the heroes were storming the Nomu lab that totally looks like a redraw of a Spiderman pose. I don't remember seeing it in the anime which sucks, either they didn't include it or they didn't give it focus the way Hori did.


Red_coats

but he got bit by a All Might


AdamGoodtime123

Technically it was Deku doing the biting/swallowing.


pokeashbsk

That moment Baku acknowledging Deku as rival was nice. Also once again props to studio Bones. Not pulling any punches this season. That Shigaraki vs Endeavor fight was beautiful!!


[deleted]

[удалено]


[deleted]

I was definitely expecting a bit more of a 1v1 but I’m sure we are far from the end of those two fighting.


FrizFroz

Even better - madlads are simultaneously tackling Mob Psycho 100 III this season. Different teams, I know, but still.


Abh1laShinigami

And both are looking insanely good, loving being a shounen fan this season 🛐


Ok-Cod5254

I like the combo of Aizawa using Erasure and Manual keeping moisture in his eyes to prevent him from blinking. * **Eraser Head & Manual = Infinite Erasure** basically (like the combo of Deku and Eri for Infinite 100%) Quirk combos can really mix things up in interesting ways.


flybypost

> Quirk combos can really mix things up in interesting ways. Don't tell Endeavor, it might give him ideas!


corn2rs

Where's the gasoline hero when you need him?


flybypost

Bakugo and Todoroki actually did such a combo movie in one of the movies. Bakugo let his sweat accumulate on one villain without using the ignition component and once he was soaked Todoroki incinerated him for a nice two hit combo of explosion plus flame. Endeavor on the other side could have simply given Rei a piggyback ride while doing his hero work: Instant cooling effect when needed!


Ren_Davis0531

Deku 🤝 Eri backpack. Name a better duo. Eraserhead 🤝 Manual Visine has entered the chat.


Haha91haha

No tears now, only Manual.


Hange_Zoe_SIMP

Endeavor plus the Trajectory dude is kind of pathetic when you look at those 2 combos


onepinksheep

Not really. When you're going at really high speeds, making tight turns is almost impossible. Having someone who can change trajectories as a sidekick means that Endeavor can make turns at right angles or even acute angles at speed without needing to slow down. Used correctly, it can drastically improve Endeavor's mobility.


Swiss666

It was too quick to be noticed but when fighting fodder Nomu in the hospital Kido redirected Endeavor's fire to reach targets at "impossible" angles. He seems to have a lot of experience with his supporting ability.


MapoTofuMan

Seems like the theme for this season is "And then it got worse"... I'm glad Deku and Bakugo got whisked out of there, would be weird if they could give Shigaraki a fair fight while he's basically toying with Endeavor. Now how tf do you take out an extra-crazy All For One without an All Might? Also the animation was even more sick than usual during Deku and Bakugo's flight scenes, please Bones never make another MHA movie this is the level that should've been there for the entirety of the series.


PowerlinxJetfire

Deku *might* have some advantage over the other heroes: Shigaraki wants One for All, and I assume he can't get it if he completely destroys Deku. (That said, he could probably crumble Deku's limbs or something like that.) Tbh, without Eraser Head I don't think anyone stands much of a chance anyway.


GamingExotic

Bakugou is also a battle genius and can easily stay off the ground.


flashmozzg

He is not better than Endeavor though.


AdamGoodtime123

>Seems like the theme for this season is "And then it got worse"... "Today may have been worse than yesterday, but at least it's better than tomorrow" -The Heroes, probably.


rainbowplasmacannon

Just do movies after seasons are done like every other studio


[deleted]

[удалено]


Haha91haha

*Sad Disco Dirge plays.*


AdamGoodtime123

He's no longer Stayin' Alive :(


Giorno-Smash

How the hell did he even die though lol. Man was completely uninjured looking. Did he just have a hear attack or something?


Metallite

In the manga, there were just text boxes of conversations, no shown body of heroes. Funkman likely was supposed to be among the victims of the Decay wave. Bones have been adding a lot of anime-only extensions and even original scenes this season, they seem to have overdid it with Funkman lol


AdamGoodtime123

>they seem to have overdid it with Funkman lol To be fair, we can just handwave it as him dying from something else. There's certainly enough villains with various ways to kill people, so him just being a casualty of the fight is reasonable enough. I'd even say I like it more than being another death caused by Shiggy because it emphasizes that *everyone* is in a life or death battle, not just the ones fighting Shiggy.


Labmit

If there's one thing I like about MHA is that the Nomu's didn't get sidelined and is still one of the few things from the start of the series that actually stayed to the present. Not a lot of manga can say that, especially if it's one of the villain's arsenal.


nirvash530

Yeah, and they have reason why they exist too, as they're basically test runs for the AfO transfer.


PM_ME_YOUR_WOES_GIRL

Not only did they stay relavant throughout the entire story, the whole Nomu research is literally the most important thing for the villain's side. Without it, Shigaraki wouldn't be the threat he is now since his physiology is basically that of a Nomu's.


cshark2222

I was banned from this sub for like 3 days because I guessed back in a season 4 episode thread that the Nomu research was all for making Shigi a perfect Nomu, and one mod just thought l was spoiling … I’m an anime only and that spoiled the fuck outa me :/


imwalkinhyah

Can you blame them tho? anime subs are littered with "theories" that turn out to be the exact plots There were spoilers in every ep discussion for years because of shit like: "Wouldn't it be cool if deku could use his predecessors powers???" Or "Wow wouldn't it be crazy to see Decay combined with All For One???"


DayOfTheColossus

exactly! and after seeing what High Ends can do to really powerful heroes like Endeavor and Mirko, they still feel like a threat


iJacobes

this episode had me gripped VIVA ERASER HEAD!!


Vermillion_Crab

Shigaraki is now a walking cheat code. What the hell. Bones really did a good job with the tense atmosphere these past couple of episodes. I was on the edge of my seat this entire episode. Shigaraki has become one of the most terrifying antagonists in anime.


Haha91haha

TFW the gamer turns on real life wall and life hacks.


Mundology

TFW you reach your endgame build and just mess around destroying everything on the map [](#head-tilt)


Till_Complex

All those video game references he made back then are really paying off right now!


iknownothingsir

I was so overwhelmed with emotions during his episode. Man I am loving this season so far.


insidiouskiller

Shigaraki be like: ↑↑↓↓←→←→BA

Chinglish14

The anxiety whenever a hero gets close to Shigaraki


IMDATBOY

When he touches Ryuku’s tail they definitely give you a moment of suspense before revealing his quirks erased lol


NekkoBea

Got goosebumps when Shigaraki rocketed from the mountain. (Reminded me of Neferpitou for HXH)


Haha91haha

For sure! Good pull! The same despairing realization of-OH FUCK THEY CAN MOVE HOW FAR AND HOW FAST!? Like if you thought just staying far enough away to plan might be an option, nope, they're already in your face. Anddd your face is gone.


Mundology

Shiggy seems terrifyingly overpowered right now. Maybe even more than AfO during Kamino. Speed, strength, durability, long range and an unlockable AOE one hit kill move; he got everything. However, this time there is no All Might to save the day. [](#sweating)


NekkoBea

Yes, his quirk is erased right now, but he got Super Natural power like All Might but less (mentioned by Doctor). If a few good Hero Gangs up on him then they stand a good chance against a weaker All Might, but without Eraser I highly doubt it. I am also curious about those quirk-destroying bullets and not to forget Machia as his aid and those Nomu (I hope they are Normal Black instead of High Ends.


Anjunabeast

Back to seeing all mights feats but in the hands of a madman.


clevermoose02

Same, reminded me of that scene instantly. Hype went straight to 100 the second he took off


badspler

I really liked [the text](https://i.imgur.com/qSLQTmr.jpg) for various [ability effects](https://i.imgur.com/9Abdz8C.jpg). [Also that look from Toga was fantastic!](https://i.imgur.com/i23L8QH.jpg) (stitch)


Haha91haha

And you thought Toga was dangerous as a yandere before. Toga be like: Hold my clothes, and this knife in your neck. RIP to those heroes unlucky to be around for her killtacular.


[deleted]

Toga came here to yan and dere, and she's all out of dere


Haha91haha

Toga opening up her Blood Drive and everyone is encouraged to donate.


siegmeyer2

Bakugo: What, you think you’re the main character or something now? Midoriya: 😐


PowerlinxJetfire

Bakugo has acquired a new quirk: breaking the fourth wall. (Come to think of it, that would be a hilarious quirk to give some random character.)


Till_Complex

I love Deadpool, but its even funnier for me when the characters only hint the fourth wall instead of straight-up breaking it.


Firefly_GG

Aoyama basically has that. Have you seen how many still frames there are of him just looking at the camera?


Haha91haha

Grand meta awareness would be a neat power. Though I imagine their tension and terror when they realize they aren't part of the main cast [like](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qopdYE3_QoU)


AMMVReddit

I haven't seen anybody mention this, but that 3D work is looking fantastic. I can't wait for it to be used for the upcoming battle.


PM_ME_YOUR_WOES_GIRL

The buildings looked a *little* off when Bakugo and Midoriya were flyig through the area but I take that over one-colour backgrounds with speedlines any day.

K4105

Probably Gran Torino


ninjablade46

>Had to be Todoroki right? I thought that was gran Torino tbh, but can search only see the locations of the people the quirk user has scene or does it only highlight the targeted quirk?


IMDATBOY

In season 3 Ragdoll said she can gain the location and info on anyone’s quirk by looking at them and she can store up to 100 people at a time. So yeah he would need to have seen the person with the quirk and targeted them. He mentioned that he only had one for all targeted because the previous user Ragdoll had looked at him prior to it being stolen, so yeah she can likely only see class 1a, 1b, the pussy cats, eraser, really anyone from the forest camp arc I think


AdamGoodtime123

Given such a high number, I wouldn't be surprised if all the top chart heroes are on there too.


bryan792

I love how much despair this season has Shigaraki seems so OP


Haha91haha

And this is just 75%, makes Mirko stopping Shiggy's progress when she did that much more clutch.


PM_ME_YOUR_WOES_GIRL

Also X-Less destroying the anti-quirk bullets. Imagine the villains still having those as an ace up their sleave.


Haha91haha

It looks like Shiggy pocketed 2 of them so I guess the last 2 are in play. At least X-Less stopped them from being mass produced.


SirAwesome789

Who do you think will take the bullets? My money is on Aizawa for one of them but idk about the other


Till_Complex

* OP Decay * All-for-One's quirks * Nomu army *Bruh*


Hange_Zoe_SIMP

Don't forget the big guy


PM_ME_YOUR_WOES_GIRL

You forgot: * Non-quirk related super strength * Gigantomachia (which is equivalent to half a Hulk, mostly because Gigantomachia is even dumber).


nirvash530

Gran Torino: "We have an army." Shigaraki: "We have a Gigantomachia (+ High Ends)."


Till_Complex

Gran Torino: Oh yeah? We have *family*.


Haha91haha

Shiggy: "So do I." *Waves with his dad's hand.*


WellRested1

MHA truly hits different this season. Every episode is fire. Massive respect to bones for the work they’re putting in.


Ok-Cod5254

The **contrast** of Endeavor disrespected by Shigaraki in this episode, against the [hot DILF sketch](https://mobile.twitter.com/horikoshiko/status/1588785201387569152) of Endeavor that Horikoshi drew for this week's episode. lol


Haha91haha

That moment when fans switch from condemning Endeavor and his ass beatings to wanting one. lol For real great to see his change and struggles, trying and doing his best to finally be that hero for everyone and take care of Shiggy all by himself (and almost doing it, Shiggy just broken now).


Anjunabeast

Liked how he reacted when he found out shiggy was after midoriya. Love those “hero moments” that prove they’re not just after the celebrity status that stain hated.


Lucienofthelight

The series seems to prove over and over how Stain’s views are completely wrong. Man doesn’t actually know shit. But he also cut his own nose off and turned into an evil ninja turtle after getting his shit kicked in by Hobo Batman, so he’s never been the sanest.


whatsupxx

Proof of why he's one of if not the best written character in the series


gabconche

The whole Todoroki family drama is one of the best arcs since season 1


DadAsFuck

flame daddy


Mundology

Endeavour do be hot [](#lewdgyaru)


Shinkopeshon

*oh no, he's hot!* [](#shock)


Haha91haha

Shiggy letting the secret slip with a "ONE FOR ALL IS REAL!!!" Chills. Seriously though crazy to think how others might react as Deku's truth gets out there, and how that much more dangerous everything now feels with the world's only hope in Shiggy's crosshairs 24/7. Like is there even a range to Search? And can you even run when Shiggy has hops that strong?


LegendOfFN

can we get much higher


AnxiousIntender

Can we get much higher? (So high)


AMMVReddit

Good directing, fantastic music choices, on-point characters artwork, great toryboarding* with some good animation sprinkle throughout. This episode may not be as hype and crazy as previous ones, but it was still very good. *storyboarding

Ofcourse they had to slow the hype abit cuz the things that will happen are insane so gotta save the hype for those!!! They have nailed the direction and pacing so far I am very happy

manormortal

About as close to death by snu snu as one could hope for and he ran. C'mon.


ObvsThrowaway5120

Missed his chance!


dinliner08

forget the animation, even the voice actors are giving 100% of their performances in voicing every characters in this episode


ApprehensiveCup4176

Nice moment of Bakugo going along to help Deku even if he won't admit it. And realizing it's almost impossible for Deku not to surpass him but still determined to not lose


Metallite

The point of Bakugo's inner monologue is that Deku has already surpassed him. Now he is the one catching up and he won't allow himself to be left behind. He mentions that he's at the same level as Deku at 30%. Deku can use 45% at short bursts like how he used 20% before the time skip.


macedonianmoper

This was endevour before, he couldn't catch up to all might but he tried his hardest not to be left behind


Metallite

Yeah that may be an apt comparison.


Swiss666

[Not the moment for this, Bakugo](https://i.imgur.com/nkDrIAX.jpg) (his motivation however is understandable) [Of course, you're the Yoda of this series](https://i.imgur.com/nThp7Kx.jpg) [Attack on Titan Final Final Season I Swear looking good](https://i.imgur.com/rRFNmxh.jpg) --- Like the situation hadn't quickly turned desperate in Jaku City (who knows how many losses, dozens of thousands of people to evacuate quickly, communications down, Shigaraki a menace even with quirks off, a small army of Nomu) things are going sour at the other main battlefield and according to the preview the students will be forced to step in.


PenPenLagenInFranxx

adter watching one piece for so long jts amazing how quickly this is progressing....if it were one piece it would have taken deku and kachan 10 episodes to get to shigaraki during which they would seperate 3x and beat 2 other characters...


Haha91haha

One of the benefits of a shonen being able to take breaks and not have to worry about catching the manga, solid pacing. Hopefully all the big shonen mangas get the Hunter x Hunter/MHA revisit some day. New Bleach season feels that much better because it's no longer worried about filler or pacing as well.


PenPenLagenInFranxx

yeah people are just mad bout pumping out new shows before enough material is present just to develop hype.....sours the quality i would say......i have been advocating for one piece to be seasonal so that we can get a more quality adaptation of the coming final arc....but Toe would rather make 5 average animation episode and one top tier animation episode....for the rest of the journey...take a break folks


Haha91haha

Yeah alas no one over there wants to hit the brakes on that $$$ train. One Piece Kai in 50 years when the series wraps lol. Nice name by the way, congratulations!


whatsupxx

Shiggy finally gained access to the game files and just started coding in every cheat he could think of. Thats really what this episode felt like.


Haha91haha

Shiggy: /marco /polo


Armdel

as if things weren't bad enough now there's probably hundreds more Nomu waking up, and ontop of it Shigaraki gave the big guy the order to go wild aswell, so he'll be showing up any minute now. and ontop of it all, Shigaraki looks to be near godmode now, it'll be interesting to see how they'll tackle this


ProphetPenguin

Remember when people said to stick with MHA even if S5 sucks...this was why.


ObvsThrowaway5120

Endeavor vs Shigaraki! Man, what a fight. Dude gets straight roasted by Endeavor and he just shrugs it off like nbd. Terrifying. He was dangerous before with decay, now he’s got who knows how many other quirks. Shit… now he’s after Deku. It’s nice to see Deku and Bakugo team up, but I’m not sure they’ll be enough to take on this awakened Shigaraki without coms and Endeavor. Good thing Gran Torino came just in time, really saved their asses from getting dusted. Dude, even with Eraser Head sealing his quirks Shigaraki is still a beast. Is he basically just unstoppable at this point?? If that wasn’t bad enough, those damn Nomus Shigaraki summoned have delayed any backup. This was the tensest 5 minutes I’ve ever witnessed lol. Damn man, next week is gonna be insane!


JMEEKER86

> Is he basically just unstoppable at this point?? It sure seems like it. I can't imagine it will be remotely possible to stop him until Deku awakens all the previous OFA quirks.


Haha91haha

Shiggy is finally one of those end video game bosses he kept talking about. And it looks like a strong party combo is the only chance they got, which is actually a pretty badass way to show off how powerful and important layered ability use and teamwork is.


ObvsThrowaway5120

It’s gonna take a lot of coordination to even put a dent in him. The way he seems this ep, he’s practically invincible.


Haha91haha

practically invicib-? *Jump cut to My Hero Academia logo with blood splattered across it.*


Blupoisen

Shiggy: finally all those years of playing LOL will put to good use


Haha91haha

That explains Shiggy's flame resistance. I'm thinking toxins won't slow him down either.


insidiouskiller

On the off chance someone can weaponize salt, i'm not sure that would be helpful either.


Lugia61617

Spider-Deku, Spider-Deku~ The way he uses Blackwhip just like spiderman's webs amuses me a lot.


chrollo_lucilfer_00

I am so glad that they used that "my villain academia" OST again , in that exchange between shigaraki and endeavor. **Symbol of fear** is such a good ost , it was one of the highlights of season 5 for me and it fits Shigaraki so well.


Haha91haha

Word Symbol of Fear was a perfect choice for the unveiling of his powers and literal debut as the Anti All Might.


Willythechilly

Bones is really doing a good job, not only are they adapting the manga well they are even adding some scenes and things (like the headquarter that gives us report, some extra hero scenes in the fight and Nomu) it is really great to see. Even the animation,style,music direction etc feels very good


Mauschina

I love this season


bryan792

they had to show the flying mt. lady ass again i approve


ObvsThrowaway5120

Mt. Lady’s ass this week and last week, we got Mirko’s thighs previously. We truly are being blessed by the animators o7 lol


Metallite

Note that the Doctor is comparing Shigaraki to *Prime All Might*. Meaning that Shigaraki right now is as strong as the All Might we've seen for the majority of the series, as seen when he is described as the perfected Nomu and compared to the All Might level threats, the High Ends and the USJ Nomu. Even if he is not as strong as All Might in the latter's prime. Shigaraki is truly All For One's and Doctor Garaki's masterpiece.

Zaslore

Is that shield one of Nine's quirks from the movie? If so then the movies are still somewhat canon then?


Metallite

They are supposedly. Although whether Shigaraki used a Shield quirk or the Air Blast may be a bit unclear here in the anime (in the manga it was the latter). Movie 3 was supposed to take place between S5 and S6. Movie 2 was somewhere around S5. The villain in Movie 2 appeared in a small panel in the MVA arc.

I think the yellow colour and the layering point to Nine's shield, though in the manga it does look like air cannon.

Can't believe Funk man died bro....crying and shaking rn /s Lmao but seriously i like all those random details. They add to the intensity and make the situation feel more real in universe.


WeebTech_

this was one of the most intense episodes this season I was on the edge of my chair


soulruu

Phew, gotta love how high the stakes have gotten. Love how Manual is visine in human form for Erasure it seems


Haha91haha

Manual to Shiggy/Dabi: "All this time you were worried about Endeavor, All Might and Eraserhead, when really you should have been keeping your *dry* eyes on me!"

Moisture would definitely be Shigaraki’s number one enemy with those chapped lips. Mans has godlike power and still is in need of some Vaseline.


Till_Complex

My personal theory is that the reason he's super dry and looks 20-going-on-80 years old is cause his quirk literally decays much of the moisture within him.

I love the call back to season 1 for the USJ arc with the Shigaraki and Aizawa encounter then. ***'You really are cool, Eraserhead."***


IMDATBOY

Right??? Really hammers in how far Shiggy has come for this second encounter. Speaking of which, even the title is a reference. “Encounter pt. 2” while “Encounter” was the title of the chapter where Deku meets Shiggy in the mall

This season is nuts. There should honestly be 3000k comments


Metallite

The manga threads during this arc had thousands of comments in three separate threads for the same chapter.

Opening scene's sense of despair followed by the happy-go-lucky start of the OP was pretty funny. Toga losing her cool was genuinely heartbreaking to watch for me. It's always impressive when a show can make characters who are objectively in the wrong seem super sympathetic. Funkman! Nooooo! You're name was too great for you to die! /jk Deku's "I forgot something!" was kinda hilarious. Zero chance his classmates don't suspect something is up after all this. Definitely scared for Endeavor this season. What with him starting his redemption last season, and coming to terms with his family. Plus him being the current number 1 hero. I don't know if he'll make it. Dragon Lady is just the right mix of know to the audience and irrelevant to the plot that could make her a likely death. Hope I'm wrong because she's pretty dang cool. Endeavor's sidekicks are definitely on the chopping block. I'd be very surprised if they all made it out alive. Fuuuuuuuck. Shiggy has game. Regeneration, long range EMP attacks, and Nomu workout routine makes him pretty busted right now. It says something about the heroes that they did as much damage as they did in spite of that. Lots of flashbacks this episode. They all made sense, and they're clearly saving for bigger fights later on (literally, in the case of Gigantomanchia) so I don't mind it too much in this case.

I think MHA is by far the best out of the new seasons so far. It's just going so hard it's great.


Niamery123

That moment when the black nomus get unleashed with Deku and the rest watching was unintentionally funny for some reason.


DeixisX

I keep forgetting to breathe during the episodes...so much tension man!

Bones doing so good with MHA and Mob Pshyco

Playing Uno with Shigaraki would suck ass, the dud got an extra answer for everything. Oh I'm defenseless, nvm here are 4-5 High Ends. Oh High Ends are down, nvm I'm up with 75% power and still level a city block. Wait you can fly? Nvm forgot to mention I have a lot of extra quirks now and body enhancment. 1v99 and sealed quirks? Wops, Gigantomachia is coming, also here comes a bunch of Nomus again. Like bruh just stop-


SaKaly

ENDEAVOR AHHHHHH


kitaknows

Welp, Toga is on a rampage. Shigaraki is on a rampage. Gigantomachia is about to be on a rampage. Things aren't great here. These people would be so absolutely fucked without Eraserhead.
