This episode was literally breathtaking, I knew what was coming because I've seen all the manga spoilers of this episode already but I still wasn't prepared for this. The way that they captured the big 3 was just amazing. The backstory that we saw and how they were so strong together. Also tamaki/suneater with his vast hybrid: plasma cannon I really didn’t expect that. And of course Bakugou.. my heart was on edge when I saw him fighting with Shikaragi and when his tears fell I literally sank. And he even got stronger at THAT exact moment before he “died” i was honestly speechless and the way Horikoshi made it even more heartbreaking with the scenes of bakugou’s flashbacks with Izuku and the sound of his heartbeat we heard on the background, also the voice actor of Bakugou.. wow I don’t even have the words it was just so captivating in that scene. Bakugou’s voice normally is so rough and at that moment it was so soft, angelic almost I can’t even explain it and the almight card how it fell right next to Bakugou. Also the weather announcement that it was going to rain and his parents on the screen with his mom Mitsuki saying: “that kid doesn’t like the rain.” no stop my heart couldn’t handle that. After all of that Jeanist ran to Bakugou and felt with his hand if his heartbeat was still beating and then the thunder and the way Jeanist was so shocked and looking at Bakugou and then it started to rain while Bakugou was laying there on the ground “dead”… I’ve already seen the manga spoiler of Bakugou’s death without color (ofc) and all the fanarts with color but the way Horikoshi did it hurt so much more. I think it is because of his eyes, they aren’t that bright red color anymore and he’s so pale, paler than normal. All by all this episode was one of the best I’ve seen from Horikoshi, the animation was chefs kiss*. Bakugou is such a well written character and his character development is not like any other and I love him with all of my heart. I’ll wait till he’s back.

So when is the plot armour for villains gonna disappear? Shigaraki might as well be immortal at this point while he is WITHOUT his quirks, like come on man... Bro could receive a nuke in his face and would come out barely scratched. Then we have his dumb growth or whatever which is also beyond broken.
It's kinda hard to take this seriously or care about characters and their deaths when you have villains with unreal plot armour.

Amazing fight choreography and emotional end to a spectacular episode , I can't believe how much they elevated this fight , The manga has better art of course but I love the OST and the animation this episode was truly something special .

I would guess he did since villains have more plot armour than any other characters.

As much of a clown show I thought this fight was in the manga, the anime actually made it somewhat decent with the good sakuga and animation. Sasuga Bones.

And yes… Bakago… is ‘dead’. Hit me harder than I thought it would, but it’s the hard truth.


No episode next week btw :(

Bakugo gets to be crisp at death atleast
He already gets 2nd plus ultra and I'm sure he'll get more as we go on which really takes a lot of screentime
I was all in for suneater big 3 moment
Hado is the prettiest
Great job Endeavor ost for Amajiki and Hado
I'll let them be Honorary Todoroki
Mirio got to wham bam for a moment very cool
I had only read this Amajiki buildup moment last year
So I'm uncertain on a few Episodes until later toga fight is in its mid stage
Did anybody catch mecha in the opening
These osts can really be tearful even if I have opinions disagreeing with the show
Next episode with the stupid afo speech will be interesting
A villain with a villainous monologue is appropriate yet also important to note why heroes need to keep doing their thang and squash these open thumb like villains

Wow, was not expecting the episode to end like that, I was thinking maybe one of The Big Three would bite the dust but no, it was actually Bakugo. Now seeing the episode preview showing that Dabi is somehow still alive, I don’t doubt that Bakugo can also somehow be brought back, that’s what I’m expecting anyway, but if they actually have the balls to keep him dead then I would respect it. That being said, this was another banger episode, it looked great, Bakugo’s wild moment near the end was very cool, and I really liked the bits focused on The Big Three, seeing them all come together to take on the greatest danger to the world was quite awesome.

And along with their moments we also got a bit of backstory, mainly for Nejire which made me kinda sad seeing her bright cheerful personality be shut down, but it ended up being for all three of them which was nice. And Tamaki’s combined attack was awesome as well, it’s just unfortunate not even this was enough to do much to Shigaraki, I guess Midoriya really is the only one, it’s honestly giving me DBZ Nappa vibes where no one but Goku could take that man on, only it’s more frustrating here because Shigaraki has been the villain for such a long time and you really wanna see this man hurt, Lemillion did hit a nerve with the no friends line which was funny but besides that, it’s like we’re still where the fight started but Bakugo is out and everyone else is beat up.

And we unfortunately have a break next week from what I’m seeing folks saying, what an episode to pull that on lol, but I’m definitely excited for the next one nonetheless.

This is the best episode that I've seen for the 7th season of My Hero Academia, but it was also a sad and brutal one at that.

Despite some excellent set-ups from the big 3, especially with Lemillion making his appearance in epic style, any attack that the heroes used on Tomura wasn't enough. Lemillion did succeed in making Tomura angry with his choice of words, which was unexpected and a bit funny, but other than that, it was another reminder as to who Tomura is almost unstoppable.

But Bakugo certainly gave it his all and the way that he went all out, even in the condition he was in, was very impressive. Same goes for the production values for this episode, where the action was very good overall. Sadly, it does look like Bakugo suffered a fatal hit, which was a painful way to end this episode. =(

The next episode's preview doesn't look good for the heroes by what was shown. Here's hoping that Deku arrives as soon as he can before things get any worse for the heroes and their morale.

damn midoriya must be coming from the damned moon 240,000 miles away because he sure is taking his time. I don't like how shoenen has this habit of showing backstory right before someone dies, it's like they (as a writer) are just flying by the seat of their pants (sorry jeanist) and I don't think it was needed for captain explosivo. One of the best written characters...I'm glad the material has actual consequences, even if it hurts. It would feel cheap if he got revived somehow but I really do think he has what it takes to be number one hero. In some way, I don't know what, he reminds me of Endeavor.

Still this photo makes me feel kinda happy and sad in the same time,bc he did remember about the card with All Might,and that's cute.

This episode was so damn good. But it also made me finally understand why MHA sucks in general now: Nobody is allowed to achieve anything but deku.

Just kill the brat off and focus on the way more interesting side characters pls.

Bakugo dying without achieving anything, just stop.

What exactly would you like them to achieve facing basically a god? Are you new to shounen genre? It always was about main character and it will always be. Others are there to enhance the story, push MC forward, support him but they will never be at his level. There are exceptions but they only prove the rule. I'd say MHA still does a better job than most other series trying to keep side characters as relevant as possible even when we are in "peak power" arc where things go completely out of whack and MC and his archnemesis reach levels unobtainable to anybody else.

"MHA sucks in general now" - we knew from chapter 1 that nobody (except for one person) can stand against All for One. I swear people are delusional or the series makes really good job at giving people a slivers of hope that other heroes can achieve anything against him. How many times Tomura has to explain they stand no chance against him because his power is comparable to All Might at his peak? He said it like 3 times this episode alone and some people still not get it, when it's all laid out in front of their eyes.

Great episode and I very much cried a little. Seeing the Amaki and Bakugo scenes made me remember when I feel in love with MHA back in Season 1. Incredible action scenes with great meaning and emotions behind them.

I wonder why he died. I guess that last moment was his best? I do not know. Because I thought he was about to have his glow up so he could stand next to Deku, but... I guess he is that weak. Fucking Tomiko. Only if Deku was with him
