Fortunately this final season is a short one. The early episodes with Bakugo & All Might were the “highlights” of this season for me (due to the animation). Other than, I’m just going through the motions of finishing this up after watching it after all this time. This season is contention being the most boring season for me 🥱

It's a good thing the mental-spirit-soul realm has hyperbolic time chamber-levels of time stoppage for everyone's spirits to get those long final convos together in what was the blink of an eye.

At this point it doesn’t even matter who these people are even fighting against, because yeah, by then even the author didn’t know who he wanted as his final villain or stuff. That was the whole point I mean, the manga dropped the ball, so yep, expecting the adaptation would make changes and do their own stuff was just wishful thinking. Moreover, all of this being the Walmart version of Avengers Endgame was just you know.. very unoriginal lmaooo.

The stuff looked great btw, as it has been throughout the whole season. Topping episode 3 is too much to ask for, but yeah, that doesn’t take away the fact that we’ve been treated very well in all of the episodes till now. Anyway, apart from this, all of that monologue, flashbacks, even Bakugo coming and joining Deku somewhere in between..

.. and Deku concluding all of this by fULfiLiNg hIS pROmisE wItH Shigariki isn’t much comment worthy. Sheesh... really after all this time, AFO died. There'll be no backtracking or undoing the stuff as well lol, this time. Though 3 whole episodes for the epilouge now? Hope they're going to expand the stuff from manga.
@Softhenic03 i strongly disagree. Its very clear All For One was the main Villain, he was for decades, Shigaraki was even being made so All For One could take him. When we thought Shigaraki "won" on being the main villain with the pathetic "death" of AFO, AFO actually showed why he was the main villain.

As for the episode... I loved this episode, it left me hyped and at the same time kinda sad. If in the end leaves you like that, it did its job. When that theme hit, the theme that made me watched the show all those years ago, it just brought feelings out of me.

I feel the final fight was cut short, but the story wasnt about fights, there are flaws in the series, but he made everyone useful in the end. Unlike other big shounens. Everyone got their role to play. I really liked this. It feels so strange that is going to be over, this is my 3rd shounen generation that i am seeing ending.

Anyway great episode, i felt the end was cut short, but it made a great ending and Deku, despite everything really showed he is the greatest hero.

Another great episode, this finale is way better in the anime than the manga, and it delivered unlike that other bullshit that is airing called OPM S3, which disappointed me the fuck out. I'm glad that cringe lOrD oF eViL AFO is finally dead, and Shigaraki too, those fuckers should stay dead, the world is a better place without them. In the end, almost everybody got their time to shine one way or another, which is nice to wrap everything up.

So yeah, this was great and enjoyable. And the best hero design goes to:



Slug Girl! She will be missed. She didn't have too much time to shine, but she was there getting shit done. Don't ever fuck with Slug Girl, yo.

@Zerity I get it, when we follow a series for like a decade long, its kinda part of our lifes. Its bittersweet when its over, in a way its like a stage of our lifes that is over (not that deep, this is just a Anime, but in a way, knowing as life goes on that, that show is still there for us, with fandom, discussion and everyting make us have a "confort").

What an amazing ride it has been. I felt like one of those people watching and chanting "you can do it" and I guess I was.

Favorited and followed this series for my entire high school years. And now I am in university, and the final battle has ended. Feels sad but unbelievably epic, kind of like the series itself. Now I will wait for the final episodes and brace for emotions once again.

My god what an epic episode this was. I had chills and goosebumps throughout the episode 🤩🔥 I have never felt like this before while watching an episode of any anime. Truly this is a masterpiece that definitely deserves praise and recognition. And what an end to the long battle with All for one. And let's not forget the fact that they played You say you run in this episode. Yuki Hayashi has given such a amazing ost to this show it also deserves respect. Damn this was something special that I will never forget. This is coming from someone who used to think previously that the first season of MHA was average and this was just another shonen but believe me this show is something special. This season has been phenomenal 👏🏻 🙌 Hats off to Horikoshi and Bones and all the animators who have worked on this show. Thank you Horikoshi for giving us such a masterpiece and cinematic show.

Big Boss Raid fight, lol

(MMO style with bunch of people all coming together to fight the final boss)

.

This Finals season since episode 1 has been a non-stop emotional ride.

So many sacrifices, so many hope.

Everyone working together as one to clear the way for the main course that is Midoriya (Deku) and his "last ounce of One-For-All power that's dwindling)

GANBARE "My Greatest Hero"


SMASH (with his FIST after a long while ever since he decide to go with FEET for originality, but it looks like FIST is still stronger than FEET)

.

And it turns out, All-For-One was just a lonely men, that wanted to be recognized and praised by his little brother.

.

Also, "THE FIST THAT PIERCED THE HEAVEN" as the punch breaks open the cloudy sky and also seems to entirely disintegrate what was left of Tomura's body and All-For-One.

Such an amazing episode, beautifully tying everything together in that final push. The culmination of all that came before, this episode feels like the true meaning of everything the show was building towards, an outstanding payoff from all highs and lows of the series. If you told me this was the penultimate episode, I wouldn't doubt it for a second.
I'm honestly a little apprehensive that there are still 3 episodes left--I really don't want them to fumble the landing.

Also, what the hell do they make those camera drones out of? Maybe they should use more of that material in everything else. 😂

Bruh this episode reminded me of the Naruto episode where all the shinobis arrive to fight madara, obito and the ten tails.

The episode was great finally the big villain is gone for good, can’t wait for the epilogue to see how it ends.

Been one hell of a ride

The strength… of WEAKNESS

I’ve been stone-cold emotionless throughout this final season so far, even with how epic it has been. But this episode did it. This one went full plus-ultra on my soul. Absolute masterclass. My Hero Academia is nothing less than an incredible series of family, fighting, and always getting back up.

Everything about this episode was just absolute cinema. I really enjoyed the episode. In fact I’m not ready for the end. I can’t believe that MHA is ending now. Every time I watch the opening and ending song I just feel like crying like “damn we made it so far” Even the episode made me feel like crying😭😭. In the end I just want to say that I am not ready for the ending, but I still look forward to it.This whole season is just absolute cinema.❤️‍🔥❤️‍🔥

If you were to have asked me years ago when I first watched MHA if I thought MHA had even good writing, I would have given a shaky answer.

But this final season and especially episode has cemented the fact that the writing in MHA is top-notch. Full circle moments, plot points and storytelling that makes sense, are satisfying, grounded... and all while feeling largely coherent and reasonable.

This episode had a wonderful culmination of everything that was built up to this point in the story.

So glad they blasted away Shigaraki and AFO, was worried they'd try to redeem them one way or another, when they are clearly way beyond that point. Hell of a fight spanning nearly 8 episodes. Wonder what they are going to do for the last 3 episodes

Peak ep

It was simply lovely to see 1-A stick up for Deku despite their weakness and u could tell how much trust they have for our boy.

The callbacks man 😮‍💨

YEAH URARAKA, CHEER UR MAN ON 😂

AFO so damn persistent.

Till this day, I still think Bakugo shouldn't have been at that scene, but its whatever. It ain't that deep.

Lord have mercy, the animation, the art direction, the drawings, the direction, the compositing, the new anime additions, the effects, its literally elite. Like this is how u end a arc.

YOU SAY RUN 🗣️

LMAO, watching everyone basically gang up on AFO was funny.

Shigaraki was real one fr.

YEAH DEKU, PUT THAT WRIST UP 🤩

This ep adapted ch 421-423. With the end of this ep, this war arc is finally over. Time for the epilogue.

10/10

Man, I wish I still had the spark of excitement I had back in season 3. I wish I remembered more than half of these characters names. I wish I wasn't that bothered by the fact that everyone's whispering all the time in this episode, that everyone outside class 1A is mostly irrelevant, that some characters only got screentime super late, that there are more flashbacks than in Naruto, and so on. I really wish I could enjoy the sakuga and the fact that the fight was decided by 2 highly animated punches. But I can't.

This was a good episode and it's surrounded by such a flawed context as well. Now it's time for the epilogue and to finally let it end after what's basically a decade in the running.

The final battle have finally ended with the 9th generation of One for All and what an amazing battle or episode it was. Probably one of the first long-running battle shounen if I'm remember correctly adapt a seasonal approach before it became "a thing" nowadays. Break the streotypical 100+ episodes non-stop airing of battle shounen manga adaptation. A nice conclusion to a major plotline and story arc. 3 more episodes left, will surely be remembered as one of the best shounen manga and anime coming out from a pile of shounen works for sure.
I cannot bring myself to rate anime that I have completed below 5. Well, it just because I have use up my precious time to watch it. so, the worse you will get from me is 5 (changes may apply)

bruh, the feelings this time, great episode and I had nearly lost all hope.
really nice that these forgotten heroes returned, I missed them so much.

for all the time being invested in Deku vs Shigaraki, Deku vs AFO the final punch is satisfying, but on the other hand,
we could have achieved the same result in around 10 episodes instead of ~50 XD

Did they skip the Dabi fight?

I don't care about what others are saying...this episode was pure peak anime!
The animation, the music (YOU SAY RUN!!), the multitude of characters we've met along the way being present and the atmosphere that this episode alone gave off blew me away!
All these together culminate into one of the best anime episodes my eyes have ever been privileged to see :D

Yes we all know that the story and ending were a bit all over the place...but you cannot tell me what you just watched was not absolutely amazing.
If I could see how this was gonna turn out when season 5 was being released I would have glazed this show even more and told people to just hold on until the final season!

Thank you to everyone who animated and produced this masterpiece of an episode, I have been so glad to have picked up this IP all those years ago!
