When Toga becomes you, her blood becomes identical to yours. If her parents hadn't fucked her up so badly, she could have been the ultimate blood donor. Give her a drop of a victim's blood, and she can produce a entire body's worth to save their life. She could have been an incredible hero.
A more fucked up version would be her and twice becoming scientists and then let her get Jin's blood, clone her self and then drink someone's blood in order to harvest organs to experiment. It's way fuck up, but it would be also good for the world in order to advance quicker in the science department
And that’s the most tragic thing about Toga, what could’ve been. If her parents and everyone around her didn’t demonize her for her quirk and thought she was someone who needed “fixing” which led to her becoming the villain she is, she *COULD’VE* been the best nursing type hero when it comes to that.
true, same with twice. if he and toga become a duo, both can be an amazing healer hero. twice can make a clone of toga, and thus the clone can use toga quirk to become the blood donor (in case they need many blood for donor)
Thing is because people are people, Toga's road to villany was almost assured. We're rarely surrounded by the kind of people we need. Ochako's empathy was one in a million and she was the only character who could have reached Toga. An unavoidable tragedy. 😢
I always was able to like this storyline a bit, but I think this fight is what made me go back and actually reread through all of it to really understand it and it’s just so well done. From the Beginning, Uraraka had a love for Deku that made her want to be like him and emulate him, but because she felt like being a hero would conflict with her feelings, she concealed them and put on a mask, the same way Toga did her whole life. It’s why from the beginning Toga was able to understand and see through Uraraka and considered her “the sad one”, because unlike Uraraka, Toga was now living in her truth of who she was, someone who could openly love anyone and express it after years of repression. When the reporter from My Villian Academia shows up in togas thoughts, it reminds her of the fact that the common world sees Toga as just a help case/tragic story, and pities her way of life. But to Toga, she’s just living normally, she’s not faking. It’s why she couldn’t be twice completely, or the others. She didn’t want to murder people, she just wanted to be with the people who’d be able to make a world she could live in as herself. By Uraraka admitting her whole life story to her, and admiring how toga is able to do the one thing she can’t, express her feelings to the one she loves, she reaches Toga. Just by being someone with empathy. It makes sense because from the beginning, Uraraka’s feelings on life and people haven’t necessarily changed, but have just been reformed because of her experiences. Her wanting to see people happy stemmed from her parents. Her wanting to save the heroes comes from how she saw Deku giving his all even when broken. I even like how she admits that seeing someone bloodied and still doing their best is the coolest thing to her, because that’s what she’s always seen with both her parents and Deku. Hori just does a good job at tying things together and rewarding viewers for being invested.
Exactly, you get this! When I was reading the manga, I kinda brushed this plot line off as a meaningless love triangle plot line, then was completely blown away from how good Horokoshi executed this plot line. It made me go back to truly understand Uraraka and Toga’s characters and I got exactly what you said from them. It’s unfortunate some people can’t see the gold in this plot line and also disrespect Uraraka’s character as “nothing more than a useless love interest” when she is so, *SO* much more than that. Glad to see someone else understand and appreciate this plot line.
The thing is also be Himiko quirk is blood based so her instincts tell her to seek blood. If she was given proper quirk acceptance she would have just been a normal girl with odd quirk.
I truly love how the League seems to be the exact problems Hero Society faces in the modern age, dialed up to 11. They've realistically recreated the people's worst fears in the form of single man armies. Like, how the lady in the chopper at 12:00 mentioned the Quirk Doomsday Theory. Very interesting to watch it play out!
@@D3ath2Day idk maybe have loving parents who advocated for her and gave her the unconditional love and care she needed? that's literally all she wanted growing up.
@D3ath2Day she doesn’t need that much blood, she could get blood donations as a hero. She could become the #1 blood donor, by taking a bit of blood from someone of a certain blood type and then becoming a donor with a body full of that blood type to donate, she would have made an amazing hero or doctor. Pair it with Twice’s quirk and people could stockpile blood of every type for decades for every hospital with ease. The amount of lives they could have potentially saved is honestly tragic
You never need to apologize for how you react to this series, Alicia, because you GET IT. Where I believe Horikoshi really succeeded with this series* is that he doesn't insist that people should be forgiven for doing terrible things because they have a sad backstory, but that we shouldn't forget that they're HUMAN. And while today's villains have crossed the point where they've taken lives and need to be stopped, there are ways that society can change so that future generations don't end up feeling that villainy is the only place they can find acceptance. * Where I've seen others disagree, they were typically either trying to superimpose a shallow power fantasy or the same story they've seen a thousand times before, and accused every instance where it didn't match of being an example of how "Horikoshi doesn't know how to write."
ya'll know the sad part is... If Himiko asked for Deku's blood, he'd probably give it without thinking and when she explains it's her quirk, he'd nerd out so hard, SHE'D be weirded out
You see this a lot, even today. People with different mindsets, outside the box thinking and wild fascinations. We try so hard to make a system, approach these problems with standards to judge and assess. But the biggest truth is that it’s always a case by case business. More often than nit we try to correct things in our world, to place things in a system that’s familiar and easy to recognize. When in truth, all that’s really needed is for someone, anyone, to take adventurous step into the unknown. To try to understand them rather than force them to understand us.
In a wonderful symmetry that doesn't get talked enough about: All Might smiled to make others feel safe, but hid his pain. Toga was never allowed to smile for real because her smile made others unsafe; this caused her pain. In this way, she and All Might are perfect polar opposites, but both their smiles are tied to who they are as people.
Toga's flashback is really interesting, she sucks the blood of people she loves as affection, the world rejects it and says it's weird, but baby Toga watched how other things express their affection, like humans through holding hands and kissing, or dogs through licking In a way, you can say "kissing" is also a weird way to express love, if animals can talk, they'll probably treat us like how people treat Toga, "ew why are you kissing people on the lips, don't you know it's dirty". Toga was simply "not human enough" to be accepted
That. If you told an alien whos unfamiliar with all the different ways we show affection to pick the odd one out, it couldn't tell that consuming blood is the weird one
Which is even more fucked up when you consider there are real people in healthy relationships who show affection by drinking their partners blood. (I would be one of them if I wasn't in a long distance relationship. I want to see my girlfriend so bad)
@@transyuri4534 or bloods brothers. Cutting oneself and touching wounds to exchange blood? Not weird when the Indians do it but I'm weird for drinking it through a plastic straw huh
@@tangroro Yeah. I could go a bit more into the philosophy of it all, but it probably wouldn't make it less strange. (A part of it is that people like us just don't see blood as gross, though, which is probably a big part of it)
Toga is such an underrated character. One of the biggest cases of (in-story) squandered potential by society. She has a strange and creepy quirk, but if her family and the heroes had trained her well, she could have been one of the most powerful heroes. The practical applications to her quirk are nearly endless. She could have saved so many lives. They could have found a way around her craving for blood. They could have helped her sustain herself with hunting. They could have done so many things that gave her a shot at a good life, and they failed her miserably. Monsters aren’t born; they’re made, and society made Himiko Toga.
And that’s the most tragic thing about Toga, what could’ve been. When Toga transforms into someone after ingesting their blood, she can also copy that persons DNA including their blood type. If her parents and everyone around her didn’t demonize her for her quirk and thought she was someone who needed “fixing” which led to her becoming the villain she is, she *COULD’VE* been the best nursing type hero when it comes to being a blood donor.
@@t.j.1584 she could also have been the best reconnaissance hero in history, with her ability to assume the form of anyone they’ve captured. She could be the ultimate spy.
@@tbhgodrick6120 Wow, that is also true. Cause when she transforms into someone, she also copies they’re DNA. So say she was a spy and got shot or say, they’re interrogating her and they use her DNA to find out if she’s who she says she is. They’d never be able to trace it back to Toga. Just to who ever she transformed into at that moment. If she was shown the love, care, respect and understanding earlier in her life and they found a way for her quirk to be used in a more selfless way, she could’ve been a great hero.
@@tbhgodrick6120 Very true, especially since she has that technique that allows her to slip past her enemies. Which is what she did earlier in this season. She could’ve been the best nursing and spy hero in the series. But that’s the part I find the most tragic about her story. What *COULD’VE* been, if given the proper love, kindness, respect and understanding.
20:55 This moment hit so damn hard. Toga finally got to properly open up and have a heart to heart with someone who cherishes her existence and wants to keep seeing the beauty they are capable of. Uraraka having Zero Gravity was always gonna make sense. Her quirk isn't to drop people from the skies, it's always been to lift up others and lighten the burden they bear. It's who she is as a character and says a lot about how one implements their quirks. How your quirks could manifest to your emotions at a young age or your emotional self is formed around your quirk, how you use the quirk and if you receive the proper guidance to continue to nurture and grow that quirk. Ururaka's upbringing vs. Toga's is a perfect back and forth of how one was raised and the results from it.
9:55 People always forgot Shigaraki, despite how he acts, it's actually very intelligent and well-educated, that's one of the first trait he's shown way back in USJ Arc, when he showed he's just as analytical as Midoriya His enemies like Overhaul look down at him, and Redestro thought he never received education, but in reality, All For One didn't slack off on the teaching
I love how Ura's and shiggy's quirks, both five point activation quirks, evolved exactly the same. the effect spreading from the original point of contact tho anything/anyone touching it and anything touching that and so forth
They also contrast in the thematic sense too. Shigaraki awakened fully by reaching inwards and recalling Tenko's memories and coming to terms with *his* origin. Uraraka is reaching out towards someone else and trying grant someone else peace with their emotional baggage. Shigaraki also starts taking damage from his awakened decay while Uraraka develops a resistance to the kickback of her own quirk
I used to barely understand Toga. Then her backstory came and I understood her better. Over time I understood her better and better. Recently, I came to realize I have a blood fetish myself (Fetish doesn't really feel like the right word for it though) and understood her better. Now, after watching this episode, I understand her fully, and I can't help but feel sorry for her.
The little bit of a young Ochaco offering up the young Himiko some of her blood shows how small stuff like that would have helped her. She obviously doesn't need so much blood that it will kill someone, but just some to placate her natural urge. But her parents just couldn't fathom the idea that their daughter wasn't "normal"
I don’t usually cry at animes but S7 of MHA got me to cry 3 times: Once with Bakugo, twice with the last episode and a third time with this episode. This season is fucking peak content
This has to be one of the most emotionally intensive seasons i’ve seen of any anime. Almost every character as had their own moment this season that involves some what of an emotional scenario. 10/10 episode, the voice acting was wonderful, animation was great, I’m already ready for the next episode, and the one after that, then the rest of this season.
This episode hit real close to home for me, as someone on the Autism Spectrum... It isn't always "...just be normal." Sometimes it's "Why do you have to act so stupid?" I imagine Himiko's story is going to resonate with a variety of groups, but this episode is right up there with Laios fighting Shiro for "they're just like me" factor... and how is the land of the salaryman such a leader in neurodivergent representaion in media...?
*Toga finally got the love and validation that she needed and deserved all this time. If I’m being honest, despite everything she’s done, I do feel incredibly sorry for Toga. She was unfairly ostracized for how she expressed her love, but now, she’s finally met someone else who can love and accept her for who she is.* *Uraraka is amazing.*
Something extra I love about this plotline is how Uraraka saying how Toga’s smile is so perfect that it makes her jealous is a parallel to Deku when he said Todoroki’s quirk was his not Endeavor’s. Read chapter 39 then 393, it’s even framed the same way.
Just like how Dabi's quirk reached its peak level when he was on the verge of death.....Uraraka's quirk experienced the same thing. It's nice that they established that on the last episode.
personally, i feel like himiko's character is an allegory for queer people. wanting to be normal, not being accepted. it hits too close to home for me. i love her so much, and she has been my favorite character for 3 years. also, this episode made my togachako heart happy.
I liked this episode a lot, I liked it because I feel a bit like Toga because I too have been rejected by people, abandoned because I'm not like the others, I have a good character but people consider me strange only because im ugly and no one wants to be my friend or want to talk to me, I also have family problems my father hasn't talked to me since I was born because he hates me for no reason and once he pulled a knife on me. I'm still alone and I suffer from depression and I honestly don't know what will happen to me but I would also like a person who accepts me for who I am even if it will never happen, that's why I liked this episode because it affected me personally.
Uraraka's full evolution for her gravity control, her evolution of HSP to an Empath, and her final evolution of her absolute love of pretty much ALL people, and admitting she loves Izuku Midoriya. It got me SO MUCH and Uraraka is already my 2nd favorite character behind Izuku himself. All to save this girl that has no concept of actual love because its never a love she can receive back for what she's asking for. Toga a girl who was never allowed to smile. Look for love. And its all she wanted. So Uraraka gave hers. Here is what real love is. Here is real understanding. You can be you, and you can do it in this world that has said time and time again it doesn't want you. But compromise, apply, and understand. And after a hard fought war over getting to the bottom of her emotions, Toga gets what she had been begging for for years. What so many in this world all want and need. (Not including those that just...don't.) And she lifts everyone's problems away. I saw NONE OF THIS BUT URARAKA'S QUIRK EVOLUTION COMING. This threw me through EVERY loop. I didn't even think Uraraka could stop Toga because Toga clearly needs familial love not so much romantic despite her obsessions. So I was looking for characters that could possibly be related to Toga, and I thought it was going to be Monoma because Toga is the eldest sibling and I thought Monoma was the changed last name of the Toga family. While Uraraka would go save her man. Story did NOTHING of the sort and just had Uraraka brute force the most advanced levels of empathy and taking it to the limit, and I only discovered in THESE CHAPTERS that HSP can evolve into Empaths. And she found the love Toga needed by empathizing where no one but people like her and Izuku would dare. And I just fell out of my chair because it wasn't even CLOSE to what I thought was possible but made sense, and STILL checked off everything these characters are capable of. And now its one of my favorite fights in the entire show because it did such a great job blind siding me. (God and it only made me like Uraraka around Izuku that much more. Fantastic. They are just made for each other. Only someone of THAT level of compassion, care, and love of others could only ever find their true partner with the same level.)
Damn I was tearing up when I watched it alone, but watching this with you I cried so ugly. 😭😭😂 I know people are angry because they wanted to see a badass fight with All Might or basically anybody else. I hate that they ignore the fact that this was probably the most emotional episode of My Hero Academia. Such a tragic and beautiful story. I'm so glad Toga got the compliment she deserved. " The cutest in the world." I LOVED IT!
Thry added an extra visual bit for Uraraka and Toga too to the Ed like hey did for Toya and Shoto last episode after the characters shows back to back part
Toga’s parents could have taught her to fish or hunt and she could have sustained herself off the blood of animals. Instead they choose to degrade and dehumanize her, might be the worst parents in the show.
@@xenoemblem7 They at least tried and recognized their mistakes same with Tenko’s family, Toga’s parents blamed her for everything and took no responsibility.
Holy shit this episode was adapted to perfection. This is one of my favorite moments of this arc and I'm so happy that they gave it the love that it deserves.
Don't worry Alicia, I'm not hormonal but I was a mess too after this episode, and I already know it would be happening since I'm a manga reader... It's precisely because I'm a reader of the manga that I wasn't in a hurry to see this passage adapted, because it had already broken me when I read it, and they managed to break me with the episode again. I already said it more than once, but Uraraka is the heart of MHA, not in the heart, but the heart, she is genuinely the kindest and empathetic character of the show, always trting to bring smile to people and thinking about making them happy. But she's not naive either, she's seen how this world could be hard and cruel, she's seen it with Deku and how people rejected him because AfO was after him, how fear can make people selfish, it allowed her to better understand Toga to finally be able to talk to her and accept her, because rejection is what she's always known and Uraraka understood that. I love Fuuko from Undead Unluck, she is my favorite female main character from a shonen, but Uraraka, is up there. She is only a secondary character since the big 3 steal the spot light, but I'm glad that Horikoshi didn't forget her. He wrote such an amazing character and I really hope that it's inspire several autor to do good female character like her in the future, the world need more female character like Uraraka. Her whole storyline with Toga is such an emotional journey, that I don't mind being hurt by it's end like that, because they're still the cutest in the world.
I need this series to have some sort of quirk counseling or something because if Toga just had people that wanted to understand her and help her then she could have been happy, if only she just had somebody like Uraraka in her life she could have been happy
God Himiko is so tragic, it hits close bc shes very obviously a representation of queer (and maybe neurodivergent) struggles with the whole "Why can't you just be normal" and asking why she's different and if everybody else had to hold back on what they liked, having people tell her that her way of loving is not only WRONG, but not love at all, that she doesn't know her own feelings and it's actually a horrible blood lust that she should stamp down is so heart breaking, and not having any decent parenting, hell her father hit her in the face when they found her in the garden, she was set up for failure, there was no way for her to live in the world she was put into, she was born in a time where she was basically guaranteed to be a villian, even though the was to prevent it was as simple as asking and listening to what she had to say with out screaming and calling her inhuman GOD I LOVE HIMIKO TOGA 😭😭 Ultimately, her story is about accepting people as they are (obviously) but also, accepting how YOU are, in order for Ochako to reach Toga she had to bare uncomfortable truths about herself and her feelings towards Toga (Take that as you will, platonic or romantic either way it doesn't take away from the meaning)
god knowing how this ends, it ONLY gets worse, prepare to never experience joy again (I just can't stop yapping apparently but knowing that there's a canon alternate universe where Toga and Ochako meet when they're really young and THAT is enough to pull her away from the path of villainy is cruel but also show cases Ochakos ability, even as a small child, to understand Toga and make her feel seen in the world)
Uraraka's and Toga's story is probably my second favorite one after all the "Todoroki family" stuff. It's unfortunate that it wasn't one of the main story beats. I would've LOVED to have more Toga/Uraraka interaction in the story rather than focusing so much on just Deku and Bakugo (which, despite all the screen time, remains a pretty basic friendship/rivalry that we've seen a thousand times already) The main issue here is that Toga and Uraraka are, fundamentally, strangers because they barely even talked during the story. Despite this I still find Toga's character arc one of the most interesting plot points of the story.
To me i think the point of mha is there’s no such thing as heroes or villain. They’re just names made from the mind of people living in fear or hope controlling their minds to reflect judgement on others based on their actions, words or appearance. Heroes and villain are just names, useless word made up by a figment of imagination people agreed on
I’m pretty sure Toga would’ve had a normal life, if her parents or really anybody who actually cared about her, just donated blood to like a blood bank or something and gave it to her like a carton full of apple juice.
On one hand I feel the parents a bit because your child is walking around hurting people and killing animals you can’t help but feel some type of way. I think most people would demonize their child to some extent. On the other I believe although they had an understandable mindset, the way they handled it was COMPLETELY wrong. They should’ve given her the support she needed instead of just ridiculing her TO HER FACE. But I do understand why they’d be scared.
She explicitly wasn't hurting people and animals, at first. They would end up getting hurt around her, and through curiosity or care, she would lick at or suck on their blood in some way. Her parents saw that, and assumed she must have been some sort of intentional malicious freak. The first person she attacked, was the boy she had a crush on in school, after years of repressing her natural urges and feeling, due to her parents abusive and neglectful treatment. Her parents were entirely in the wrong, with the way that they raised her. There is never a reason why you should treat your child like a monster, for not understanding. Especially a child as young as she clearly was. And even more so for something as simple as being a little different.
Himiko was essentially a Hemophiliac (maybe nit sexually aroused by the sight of blood but still excited by it). Which there is nothing wrong with that. What she should have been taught is how to control it and not try and seek it out by hurting people.
I was woth this story line from the start. I always identified with toga, always understand. It was annoying that no one else seemed to, but this beautiful episode seems to have changed everyones minds. They all shed tears, qnd they all understood. I love to see how people come around.
OMG OMG I JUST NOTICE THE HERO KID OCHACO SAW WAS THE SAME HERO TOGA KILLED AND TRANSFORM INTO IN S6 WTFFFFFF THAT CROSS PATH WAS SO FREAKING COOL😢😢😢😢😊
honestly, Uraraka might be the biggest hero in the series. being a hero aint just about the power level.... it's also about having a big heart, and she sure got one.
although speaking of power level being able to levitate potentially millions of clones all at once in a huge aoe is pretty up there in terms of wtf. She might just have the strength to back up her heroic nature now which is awesome, she's been one of my favs right from the start
“It’s sad how society labeled her a monster before trying to understand her pain. Her backstory really makes you question who the real villains are. 😔💧”
On top of being so wounded and exhausted, using her Quirk on herself gives Ochaco vertigo. That's why she was puking in the middle of the fight, she's dealing with all of that pain, and exhaustion, and nausea all at once and still fighting through it. She's someone who wants to heal people like Toga, but the role she was given only equips her to imprison or harm people as a way to serve justice. And she has to fight twice as hard because of that, because killing someone or taking their freedom, their future away isn't a victory for her. In a world where justice is treated like blood sport and people are punished for the sake of self-righteous egos, Ochaco is fighting with every bone in her body to find a way everyone who's in pain can be saved from pain and that everyone who's held captive by something can be free.
Hope you watch the OP for the final episode, would hate to see you miss out on it Other than that, absolutely amazing episode, Ochako’s and Toga’s raw emotion resonated with me deeply, I will always love this show for just how hard hitting all of the big climaxes are. They deliver EVERY TIME! (Also you don’t have to apologize for crying, completely reasonable, especially for this episode. It makes the reaction better if anything)
Man I wish reactors didn’t feel the need to apologise for getting emotional over shows and things like this since, that’s the whole point! Maybe moreso I should be pointing the finger at the commenters who cause reactors to feel insecure over being emotional, but still. Personally at least, reactions like these hit the spot for me since I’m a lot more emotionally numb despite enjoying anime / shows as much as everyone else, so seeing the impact episodes like these have on people helps me appreciate it more + experience what the show and everyone else is expressing and feeling. Said it before and I’ll say it again, us viewers are here for your reactions however that comes out! Never need to apologise for being yourself since that’s exactly why we’re here (ironic saying all this considering the whole message of the episode haha) 11/10 reaction in my books haha had me in my feels and will always be joyed hearing and seeing the analytical / empathetic takes on what’s going on
especially when they were never taught how to act in a healthy and safe manner. Only abused and neglected. You don't condone terrible acts, but you can't entirely blame them either. Also, Toga's not a psychopath. An argument could be made for sociopath, but even then it would be a conditioned one.
Did you check the ending song last episode and this episode? They had minor visual changes that make the episodes more beautiful. I think next episode they may do the same but who knows
toga could have drank the blood of a clone and continued the sad man's parade indefinitely. instead, uraraka separated her and changed her focus, so the march of grief could finally end.
Welcome to "Alicia Cries for 23 Minutes" episode of MHA 🥲 Toga couldn't have asked for a better nemesis. Also getting gut stabbed is painful but it takes a long time to die from it, so I think Ochako will live, even if she's definitely out of the fight.
While Himiko isn't innocent and definitely can't be forgiven for everything she's done, her parents deserve the chopping block for pretty much causing this, treating her so horribly and not trying to understand her.
I cried a manly set of tears... toga is my favorite character and her story was so avoidable. No accountability from her her parenrs at any moment sigh . Sad part is that they are children in real life going through this as we speak.
I know you don’t usually do music reacts but I’d love to see you react to zeal and ardor, they are a very occult metal band with roots in African spirituals and blues.

When Toga becomes you, her blood becomes identical to yours. If her parents hadn't fucked her up so badly, she could have been the ultimate blood donor. Give her a drop of a victim's blood, and she can produce a entire body's worth to save their life. She could have been an incredible hero.
A more fucked up version would be her and twice becoming scientists and then let her get Jin's blood, clone her self and then drink someone's blood in order to harvest organs to experiment. It's way fuck up, but it would be also good for the world in order to advance quicker in the science department
Yes your ritht toga as hero wil be amzing l love his episode toga backsotry hit me but agree with you here❤
And that’s the most tragic thing about Toga, what could’ve been. If her parents and everyone around her didn’t demonize her for her quirk and thought she was someone who needed “fixing” which led to her becoming the villain she is, she *COULD’VE* been the best nursing type hero when it comes to that.
true, same with twice. if he and toga become a duo, both can be an amazing healer hero. twice can make a clone of toga, and thus the clone can use toga quirk to become the blood donor (in case they need many blood for donor)
Thing is because people are people, Toga's road to villany was almost assured. We're rarely surrounded by the kind of people we need. Ochako's empathy was one in a million and she was the only character who could have reached Toga. An unavoidable tragedy. 😢

The VA said that she was crying so much during and after filming the lines that the session was a blur to her 😭
I always was able to like this storyline a bit, but I think this fight is what made me go back and actually reread through all of it to really understand it and it’s just so well done. From the Beginning, Uraraka had a love for Deku that made her want to be like him and emulate him, but because she felt like being a hero would conflict with her feelings, she concealed them and put on a mask, the same way Toga did her whole life. It’s why from the beginning Toga was able to understand and see through Uraraka and considered her “the sad one”, because unlike Uraraka, Toga was now living in her truth of who she was, someone who could openly love anyone and express it after years of repression.
When the reporter from My Villian Academia shows up in togas thoughts, it reminds her of the fact that the common world sees Toga as just a help case/tragic story, and pities her way of life. But to Toga, she’s just living normally, she’s not faking.
It’s why she couldn’t be twice completely, or the others. She didn’t want to murder people, she just wanted to be with the people who’d be able to make a world she could live in as herself. By Uraraka admitting her whole life story to her, and admiring how toga is able to do the one thing she can’t, express her feelings to the one she loves, she reaches Toga. Just by being someone with empathy.
It makes sense because from the beginning, Uraraka’s feelings on life and people haven’t necessarily changed, but have just been reformed because of her experiences. Her wanting to see people happy stemmed from her parents. Her wanting to save the heroes comes from how she saw Deku giving his all even when broken. I even like how she admits that seeing someone bloodied and still doing their best is the coolest thing to her, because that’s what she’s always seen with both her parents and Deku.
Hori just does a good job at tying things together and rewarding viewers for being invested.
I agree with you here is amzing episode iş my top episode after dabi and his family sotry ❤
Exactly, you get this! When I was reading the manga, I kinda brushed this plot line off as a meaningless love triangle plot line, then was completely blown away from how good Horokoshi executed this plot line. It made me go back to truly understand Uraraka and Toga’s characters and I got exactly what you said from them. It’s unfortunate some people can’t see the gold in this plot line and also disrespect Uraraka’s character as “nothing more than a useless love interest” when she is so, *SO* much more than that. Glad to see someone else understand and appreciate this plot line.
The thing is also be Himiko quirk is blood based so her instincts tell her to seek blood. If she was given proper quirk acceptance she would have just been a normal girl with odd quirk.
I truly love how the League seems to be the exact problems Hero Society faces in the modern age, dialed up to 11. They've realistically recreated the people's worst fears in the form of single man armies. Like, how the lady in the chopper at 12:00 mentioned the Quirk Doomsday Theory. Very interesting to watch it play out!
Yep, her Quirk didn't fuck her up, her environment did
I’m trying to find a way to how she could’ve been accommodated but I can’t see anything else other than put her in a hospital 💀💀
@@D3ath2Day idk maybe have loving parents who advocated for her and gave her the unconditional love and care she needed? that's literally all she wanted growing up.
@D3ath2Day she doesn’t need that much blood, she could get blood donations as a hero. She could become the #1 blood donor, by taking a bit of blood from someone of a certain blood type and then becoming a donor with a body full of that blood type to donate, she would have made an amazing hero or doctor. Pair it with Twice’s quirk and people could stockpile blood of every type for decades for every hospital with ease. The amount of lives they could have potentially saved is honestly tragic
You never need to apologize for how you react to this series, Alicia, because you GET IT. Where I believe Horikoshi really succeeded with this series* is that he doesn't insist that people should be forgiven for doing terrible things because they have a sad backstory, but that we shouldn't forget that they're HUMAN. And while today's villains have crossed the point where they've taken lives and need to be stopped, there are ways that society can change so that future generations don't end up feeling that villainy is the only place they can find acceptance.
* Where I've seen others disagree, they were typically either trying to superimpose a shallow power fantasy or the same story they've seen a thousand times before, and accused every instance where it didn't match of being an example of how "Horikoshi doesn't know how to write."
ya'll know the sad part is... If Himiko asked for Deku's blood, he'd probably give it without thinking and when she explains it's her quirk, he'd nerd out so hard, SHE'D be weirded out
Welp, that's tragically wholesome. Damn you for the extra layers of feels lol
You see this a lot, even today. People with different mindsets, outside the box thinking and wild fascinations. We try so hard to make a system, approach these problems with standards to judge and assess. But the biggest truth is that it’s always a case by case business. More often than nit we try to correct things in our world, to place things in a system that’s familiar and easy to recognize. When in truth, all that’s really needed is for someone, anyone, to take adventurous step into the unknown. To try to understand them rather than force them to understand us.
In a wonderful symmetry that doesn't get talked enough about: All Might smiled to make others feel safe, but hid his pain. Toga was never allowed to smile for real because her smile made others unsafe; this caused her pain. In this way, she and All Might are perfect polar opposites, but both their smiles are tied to who they are as people.
Toga's flashback is really interesting, she sucks the blood of people she loves as affection, the world rejects it and says it's weird, but baby Toga watched how other things express their affection, like humans through holding hands and kissing, or dogs through licking
In a way, you can say "kissing" is also a weird way to express love, if animals can talk, they'll probably treat us like how people treat Toga, "ew why are you kissing people on the lips, don't you know it's dirty". Toga was simply "not human enough" to be accepted
That. If you told an alien whos unfamiliar with all the different ways we show affection to pick the odd one out, it couldn't tell that consuming blood is the weird one
Which is even more fucked up when you consider there are real people in healthy relationships who show affection by drinking their partners blood. (I would be one of them if I wasn't in a long distance relationship. I want to see my girlfriend so bad)
@@transyuri4534 or bloods brothers. Cutting oneself and touching wounds to exchange blood? Not weird when the Indians do it but I'm weird for drinking it through a plastic straw huh
@@transyuri4534 ......what?
@@tangroro Yeah. I could go a bit more into the philosophy of it all, but it probably wouldn't make it less strange. (A part of it is that people like us just don't see blood as gross, though, which is probably a big part of it)
Tsu: she just wanna talk to you.
Toga: go ahead then. What do you wanna say to me?
Uraraka: *D O M A I N E X P A N S I O N*
Toga: "Think I'm cute?"
Uraraka: "No."
"Domain expansion; Hemispheric Funeral"
@@willfanofmanyii3751she iş cute but l hope if she get help form her family tho😢 have nice day❤
Everything within her domain floats without her needing to touch anybody 😂
Toga is such an underrated character. One of the biggest cases of (in-story) squandered potential by society. She has a strange and creepy quirk, but if her family and the heroes had trained her well, she could have been one of the most powerful heroes. The practical applications to her quirk are nearly endless. She could have saved so many lives.
They could have found a way around her craving for blood. They could have helped her sustain herself with hunting. They could have done so many things that gave her a shot at a good life, and they failed her miserably.
Monsters aren’t born; they’re made, and society made Himiko Toga.
Yes your ritht here her family failed her l agree with you here thanks for his my friend ❤️
And that’s the most tragic thing about Toga, what could’ve been. When Toga transforms into someone after ingesting their blood, she can also copy that persons DNA including their blood type.
If her parents and everyone around her didn’t demonize her for her quirk and thought she was someone who needed “fixing” which led to her becoming the villain she is, she *COULD’VE* been the best nursing type hero when it comes to being a blood donor.
@@t.j.1584 she could also have been the best reconnaissance hero in history, with her ability to assume the form of anyone they’ve captured. She could be the ultimate spy.
@@tbhgodrick6120 Wow, that is also true. Cause when she transforms into someone, she also copies they’re DNA. So say she was a spy and got shot or say, they’re interrogating her and they use her DNA to find out if she’s who she says she is. They’d never be able to trace it back to Toga. Just to who ever she transformed into at that moment. If she was shown the love, care, respect and understanding earlier in her life and they found a way for her quirk to be used in a more selfless way, she could’ve been a great hero.
@@tbhgodrick6120 Very true, especially since she has that technique that allows her to slip past her enemies. Which is what she did earlier in this season. She could’ve been the best nursing and spy hero in the series. But that’s the part I find the most tragic about her story. What *COULD’VE* been, if given the proper love, kindness, respect and understanding.
20:55 This moment hit so damn hard. Toga finally got to properly open up and have a heart to heart with someone who cherishes her existence and wants to keep seeing the beauty they are capable of. Uraraka having Zero Gravity was always gonna make sense. Her quirk isn't to drop people from the skies, it's always been to lift up others and lighten the burden they bear. It's who she is as a character and says a lot about how one implements their quirks. How your quirks could manifest to your emotions at a young age or your emotional self is formed around your quirk, how you use the quirk and if you receive the proper guidance to continue to nurture and grow that quirk. Ururaka's upbringing vs. Toga's is a perfect back and forth of how one was raised and the results from it.
9:55 People always forgot Shigaraki, despite how he acts, it's actually very intelligent and well-educated, that's one of the first trait he's shown way back in USJ Arc, when he showed he's just as analytical as Midoriya
His enemies like Overhaul look down at him, and Redestro thought he never received education, but in reality, All For One didn't slack off on the teaching
I love how Ura's and shiggy's quirks, both five point activation quirks, evolved exactly the same. the effect spreading from the original point of contact tho anything/anyone touching it and anything touching that and so forth
They also contrast in the thematic sense too. Shigaraki awakened fully by reaching inwards and recalling Tenko's memories and coming to terms with *his* origin. Uraraka is reaching out towards someone else and trying grant someone else peace with their emotional baggage. Shigaraki also starts taking damage from his awakened decay while Uraraka develops a resistance to the kickback of her own quirk
I used to barely understand Toga. Then her backstory came and I understood her better. Over time I understood her better and better. Recently, I came to realize I have a blood fetish myself (Fetish doesn't really feel like the right word for it though) and understood her better. Now, after watching this episode, I understand her fully, and I can't help but feel sorry for her.
The little bit of a young Ochaco offering up the young Himiko some of her blood shows how small stuff like that would have helped her. She obviously doesn't need so much blood that it will kill someone, but just some to placate her natural urge. But her parents just couldn't fathom the idea that their daughter wasn't "normal"
I don’t usually cry at animes but S7 of MHA got me to cry 3 times: Once with Bakugo, twice with the last episode and a third time with this episode. This season is fucking peak content
Me: Ok, we had an incredibly emotional episode last week, so probably this week will be lighter
MHA: YOU THOUGHT!!
MHA next week’s episode: I AIN’T HEAR NO BELL!!
This has to be one of the most emotionally intensive seasons i’ve seen of any anime. Almost every character as had their own moment this season that involves some what of an emotional scenario. 10/10 episode, the voice acting was wonderful, animation was great, I’m already ready for the next episode, and the one after that, then the rest of this season.
This episode hit real close to home for me, as someone on the Autism Spectrum...
It isn't always "...just be normal."
Sometimes it's "Why do you have to act so stupid?"
I imagine Himiko's story is going to resonate with a variety of groups, but this episode is right up there with Laios fighting Shiro for "they're just like me" factor... and how is the land of the salaryman such a leader in neurodivergent representaion in media...?
*Toga finally got the love and validation that she needed and deserved all this time. If I’m being honest, despite everything she’s done, I do feel incredibly sorry for Toga. She was unfairly ostracized for how she expressed her love, but now, she’s finally met someone else who can love and accept her for who she is.*
*Uraraka is amazing.*
Something extra I love about this plotline is how Uraraka saying how Toga’s smile is so perfect that it makes her jealous is a parallel to Deku when he said Todoroki’s quirk was his not Endeavor’s.
Read chapter 39 then 393, it’s even framed the same way.
Just like how Dabi's quirk reached its peak level when he was on the verge of death.....Uraraka's quirk experienced the same thing. It's nice that they established that on the last episode.
I agree with you here l love it is amzing episode have nice day❤️
personally, i feel like himiko's character is an allegory for queer people. wanting to be normal, not being accepted. it hits too close to home for me. i love her so much, and she has been my favorite character for 3 years. also, this episode made my togachako heart happy.
she’s confirmed bi too, i love herrrr
@@wweirdo100 She sounds more pansexual to me
Honestly, her whole situation can be read in a lot of different ways.
I liked this episode a lot, I liked it because I feel a bit like Toga because I too have been rejected by people, abandoned because I'm not like the others, I have a good character but people consider me strange only because im ugly and no one wants to be my friend or want to talk to me, I also have family problems my father hasn't talked to me since I was born because he hates me for no reason and once he pulled a knife on me. I'm still alone and I suffer from depression and I honestly don't know what will happen to me but I would also like a person who accepts me for who I am even if it will never happen, that's why I liked this episode because it affected me personally.
Grown male here and I sobbed uncontrollably during this and last episode lol
Don't apologize for crying, Alicia. Whenever I need a reaction that's cry-worthy I come straight to you, lol
I agree with you your reaction iş amzing keep going Queen your the best❤️
All Himeko ever wanted was to be accepted and loved for who she is. Something everyone desires and deserves. She deserves to be loved too.
Yes your ritht here her and toya too l agree with you here have nice day❤️
The cutest girl in the whole world, abused and neglected by all authority figures in her life...
Yes your ritht toga the best girl ❤ l agree with you her bucksotry so şad have nice day
Uraraka's full evolution for her gravity control, her evolution of HSP to an Empath, and her final evolution of her absolute love of pretty much ALL people, and admitting she loves Izuku Midoriya. It got me SO MUCH and Uraraka is already my 2nd favorite character behind Izuku himself. All to save this girl that has no concept of actual love because its never a love she can receive back for what she's asking for. Toga a girl who was never allowed to smile. Look for love. And its all she wanted. So Uraraka gave hers. Here is what real love is. Here is real understanding. You can be you, and you can do it in this world that has said time and time again it doesn't want you. But compromise, apply, and understand. And after a hard fought war over getting to the bottom of her emotions, Toga gets what she had been begging for for years. What so many in this world all want and need. (Not including those that just...don't.) And she lifts everyone's problems away. I saw NONE OF THIS BUT URARAKA'S QUIRK EVOLUTION COMING. This threw me through EVERY loop. I didn't even think Uraraka could stop Toga because Toga clearly needs familial love not so much romantic despite her obsessions. So I was looking for characters that could possibly be related to Toga, and I thought it was going to be Monoma because Toga is the eldest sibling and I thought Monoma was the changed last name of the Toga family. While Uraraka would go save her man. Story did NOTHING of the sort and just had Uraraka brute force the most advanced levels of empathy and taking it to the limit, and I only discovered in THESE CHAPTERS that HSP can evolve into Empaths. And she found the love Toga needed by empathizing where no one but people like her and Izuku would dare. And I just fell out of my chair because it wasn't even CLOSE to what I thought was possible but made sense, and STILL checked off everything these characters are capable of. And now its one of my favorite fights in the entire show because it did such a great job blind siding me. (God and it only made me like Uraraka around Izuku that much more. Fantastic. They are just made for each other. Only someone of THAT level of compassion, care, and love of others could only ever find their true partner with the same level.)
Himiko, Toya, and Tenko are the unholy trinity of childhood trauma in the League of Villains.
Damn I was tearing up when I watched it alone, but watching this with you I cried so ugly. 😭😭😂
I know people are angry because they wanted to see a badass fight with All Might or basically anybody else. I hate that they ignore the fact that this was probably the most emotional episode of My Hero Academia. Such a tragic and beautiful story. I'm so glad Toga got the compliment she deserved. " The cutest in the world." I LOVED IT!
Thry added an extra visual bit for Uraraka and Toga too to the Ed like hey did for Toya and Shoto last episode after the characters shows back to back part
21:34 fun fact for this and the last episode they made small changes during the credits that are related to their episode
Toga’s parents could have taught her to fish or hunt and she could have sustained herself off the blood of animals.
Instead they choose to degrade and dehumanize her, might be the worst parents in the show.
I didn't even think about hunting. But she also wanted blood of the ppl she liked
@@jasonblack2477 They could have also taught her the importance of consent, but they didn’t do that either.
God her parents sucked.
they could just have fed her with blood like ochako offered.
"worst parents in the show" Todoroki's parents 👀
@@xenoemblem7 They at least tried and recognized their mistakes same with Tenko’s family, Toga’s parents blamed her for everything and took no responsibility.
Holy shit this episode was adapted to perfection. This is one of my favorite moments of this arc and I'm so happy that they gave it the love that it deserves.
Himiko Toga, the Cutest Girl in the World 😭
i could talk for hours about how much i love this girl she means so much to me man
Don't worry Alicia, I'm not hormonal but I was a mess too after this episode, and I already know it would be happening since I'm a manga reader... It's precisely because I'm a reader of the manga that I wasn't in a hurry to see this passage adapted, because it had already broken me when I read it, and they managed to break me with the episode again.
I already said it more than once, but Uraraka is the heart of MHA, not in the heart, but the heart, she is genuinely the kindest and empathetic character of the show, always trting to bring smile to people and thinking about making them happy. But she's not naive either, she's seen how this world could be hard and cruel, she's seen it with Deku and how people rejected him because AfO was after him, how fear can make people selfish, it allowed her to better understand Toga to finally be able to talk to her and accept her, because rejection is what she's always known and Uraraka understood that.
I love Fuuko from Undead Unluck, she is my favorite female main character from a shonen, but Uraraka, is up there. She is only a secondary character since the big 3 steal the spot light, but I'm glad that Horikoshi didn't forget her. He wrote such an amazing character and I really hope that it's inspire several autor to do good female character like her in the future, the world need more female character like Uraraka. Her whole storyline with Toga is such an emotional journey, that I don't mind being hurt by it's end like that, because they're still the cutest in the world.
I agree with you here uraraka she amzing hero and her and toga voice acting hit me Hard have nice day❤️
Oh oh the misery! What I would give for these two to have a happily ever after.
I need this series to have some sort of quirk counseling or something because if Toga just had people that wanted to understand her and help her then she could have been happy, if only she just had somebody like Uraraka in her life she could have been happy
God Himiko is so tragic, it hits close bc shes very obviously a representation of queer (and maybe neurodivergent) struggles with the whole "Why can't you just be normal" and asking why she's different and if everybody else had to hold back on what they liked, having people tell her that her way of loving is not only WRONG, but not love at all, that she doesn't know her own feelings and it's actually a horrible blood lust that she should stamp down is so heart breaking, and not having any decent parenting, hell her father hit her in the face when they found her in the garden, she was set up for failure, there was no way for her to live in the world she was put into, she was born in a time where she was basically guaranteed to be a villian, even though the was to prevent it was as simple as asking and listening to what she had to say with out screaming and calling her inhuman GOD I LOVE HIMIKO TOGA 😭😭
Ultimately, her story is about accepting people as they are (obviously) but also, accepting how YOU are, in order for Ochako to reach Toga she had to bare uncomfortable truths about herself and her feelings towards Toga (Take that as you will, platonic or romantic either way it doesn't take away from the meaning)
god knowing how this ends, it ONLY gets worse, prepare to never experience joy again
(I just can't stop yapping apparently but knowing that there's a canon alternate universe where Toga and Ochako meet when they're really young and THAT is enough to pull her away from the path of villainy is cruel but also show cases Ochakos ability, even as a small child, to understand Toga and make her feel seen in the world)
YOU GET IT OMGG I LOVE YOU
Uraraka's and Toga's story is probably my second favorite one after all the "Todoroki family" stuff. It's unfortunate that it wasn't one of the main story beats. I would've LOVED to have more Toga/Uraraka interaction in the story rather than focusing so much on just Deku and Bakugo (which, despite all the screen time, remains a pretty basic friendship/rivalry that we've seen a thousand times already)
The main issue here is that Toga and Uraraka are, fundamentally, strangers because they barely even talked during the story. Despite this I still find Toga's character arc one of the most interesting plot points of the story.
To me i think the point of mha is there’s no such thing as heroes or villain. They’re just names made from the mind of people living in fear or hope controlling their minds to reflect judgement on others based on their actions, words or appearance. Heroes and villain are just names, useless word made up by a figment of imagination people agreed on
"Do you think I'm cute?"
"Domain Expansion."
I’m pretty sure Toga would’ve had a normal life, if her parents or really anybody who actually cared about her, just donated blood to like a blood bank or something and gave it to her like a carton full of apple juice.
I think she doesn't even want that much tho, but yeah it would be nice for her.
On one hand I feel the parents a bit because your child is walking around hurting people and killing animals you can’t help but feel some type of way. I think most people would demonize their child to some extent. On the other I believe although they had an understandable mindset, the way they handled it was COMPLETELY wrong. They should’ve given her the support she needed instead of just ridiculing her TO HER FACE. But I do understand why they’d be scared.
She explicitly wasn't hurting people and animals, at first. They would end up getting hurt around her, and through curiosity or care, she would lick at or suck on their blood in some way. Her parents saw that, and assumed she must have been some sort of intentional malicious freak. The first person she attacked, was the boy she had a crush on in school, after years of repressing her natural urges and feeling, due to her parents abusive and neglectful treatment. Her parents were entirely in the wrong, with the way that they raised her. There is never a reason why you should treat your child like a monster, for not understanding. Especially a child as young as she clearly was. And even more so for something as simple as being a little different.
21:20 complete meltdown SAAAMMEEE
Himiko was essentially a Hemophiliac (maybe nit sexually aroused by the sight of blood but still excited by it). Which there is nothing wrong with that. What she should have been taught is how to control it and not try and seek it out by hurting people.
Tears in my Togachako eyes
HOLD ME GIRL, LET'S CRY TOGHETHER!
I was woth this story line from the start. I always identified with toga, always understand. It was annoying that no one else seemed to, but this beautiful episode seems to have changed everyones minds. They all shed tears, qnd they all understood. I love to see how people come around.
If I'm counting correctly I think Zero Gravity is now the second chain quirk in this show meaning it affects anything touching the affected item.
I can’t do this, I’m crying.
THE WAY I STARTED SOBBING
This right here is why I watch anime. It pulls on your heart strings in all the right places.
Me too my friend iş amzing show have nice day❤️
OMG OMG I JUST NOTICE THE HERO KID OCHACO SAW WAS THE SAME HERO TOGA KILLED AND TRANSFORM INTO IN S6 WTFFFFFF THAT CROSS PATH WAS SO FREAKING COOL😢😢😢😢😊
Damn I just realized that
A hero with toga's mentality would do big things.. she loved everything and everyone ❤️
honestly, Uraraka might be the biggest hero in the series.
being a hero aint just about the power level.... it's also about having a big heart, and she sure got one.
although speaking of power level being able to levitate potentially millions of clones all at once in a huge aoe is pretty up there in terms of wtf. She might just have the strength to back up her heroic nature now which is awesome, she's been one of my favs right from the start
I cried out loud too, it's okay
“It’s sad how society labeled her a monster before trying to understand her pain. Her backstory really makes you question who the real villains are. 😔💧”
😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭
I can't I'm a mess
OMG IM CRYING RIGHT NOW I LOVE THIS EPISODE BUT ITS SO EMOTIONAL
Girl you ugh as you need. Warned last week you’ll need naptime after MHA this week and next.
On top of being so wounded and exhausted, using her Quirk on herself gives Ochaco vertigo. That's why she was puking in the middle of the fight, she's dealing with all of that pain, and exhaustion, and nausea all at once and still fighting through it. She's someone who wants to heal people like Toga, but the role she was given only equips her to imprison or harm people as a way to serve justice.
And she has to fight twice as hard because of that, because killing someone or taking their freedom, their future away isn't a victory for her. In a world where justice is treated like blood sport and people are punished for the sake of self-righteous egos, Ochaco is fighting with every bone in her body to find a way everyone who's in pain can be saved from pain and that everyone who's held captive by something can be free.
this episode made me cry. ive been holding off on watching the last 3 episodes of MHA so finally getting up to it and seeing reactions!
I feel so sad with togas story it could have been a happy one
And when this chapter was out in the manga, some people were mad because the story kept sympathizing the villains.
SHE LITERALLY SAID THAT SHE LIKES HER MORE THEN IZUKU AND PEOPLE STILL DENY THAT THEY WERE SOULMATES! ... GOD I LOVE DOOMED YURI!
It’s not that people don’t think they’re soul mates it’s just obvious she loves Izuku
Not his way she l love Deku and uraraka are cute but have nice day
Lol when did she say that 😂?
Calm down, none of the shipping mattered anyway.
Beautiful episode, bad timing with the hormones though, my goodness girl! This wrecked you!
Imagine if more people donated plasma, we could get this poor girl a blood juice box and see her smile.
I feel like I understand Himiko more now and I want to do a full deep dive into her psyche.
Toga is such a good example for real life children. If your kid is weird, support it. Dont call it a deviant.
Hope you watch the OP for the final episode, would hate to see you miss out on it
Other than that, absolutely amazing episode, Ochako’s and Toga’s raw emotion resonated with me deeply, I will always love this show for just how hard hitting all of the big climaxes are. They deliver EVERY TIME! (Also you don’t have to apologize for crying, completely reasonable, especially for this episode. It makes the reaction better if anything)
Man I wish reactors didn’t feel the need to apologise for getting emotional over shows and things like this since, that’s the whole point! Maybe moreso I should be pointing the finger at the commenters who cause reactors to feel insecure over being emotional, but still. Personally at least, reactions like these hit the spot for me since I’m a lot more emotionally numb despite enjoying anime / shows as much as everyone else, so seeing the impact episodes like these have on people helps me appreciate it more + experience what the show and everyone else is expressing and feeling.
Said it before and I’ll say it again, us viewers are here for your reactions however that comes out! Never need to apologise for being yourself since that’s exactly why we’re here (ironic saying all this considering the whole message of the episode haha)
11/10 reaction in my books haha had me in my feels and will always be joyed hearing and seeing the analytical / empathetic takes on what’s going on
If you’re crying at this episode.. next episode bring a damn bottle because the tears will be stacking up especially bc it’s the last of the season.
I dont condone nor forgive their actions, but i could never be mad at a psychopath for following whats in their heart
especially when they were never taught how to act in a healthy and safe manner. Only abused and neglected. You don't condone terrible acts, but you can't entirely blame them either.
Also, Toga's not a psychopath. An argument could be made for sociopath, but even then it would be a conditioned one.
Did you check the ending song last episode and this episode? They had minor visual changes that make the episodes more beautiful. I think next episode they may do the same but who knows
This is the episode that got me sobbing. Glad you're right here with me, Alicia. Lol
Toga: Think i'm cute ?😢
Uraraka: *kof *kof Domaine expansion.
toga could have drank the blood of a clone and continued the sad man's parade indefinitely.
instead, uraraka separated her and changed her focus, so the march of grief could finally end.
A beautiful episode! Its ok to cry when moved by such a video!! 🥲
Welcome to "Alicia Cries for 23 Minutes" episode of MHA 🥲 Toga couldn't have asked for a better nemesis. Also getting gut stabbed is painful but it takes a long time to die from it, so I think Ochako will live, even if she's definitely out of the fight.
knowing what happens next im really not ready for next ep, like im so horrified to see that animated.
Nightmare face Froppy.
Is behind you.
While Himiko isn't innocent and definitely can't be forgiven for everything she's done, her parents deserve the chopping block for pretty much causing this, treating her so horribly and not trying to understand her.
5:12 why the fuck is no one mentioning the artists slipping this smut in to a shonen 😂😂😂😂
Oooh boy, imma just say next episode you’re clear to watch the opening. After the episode of course
Just the best ep for mee and maybe the next one too cuz there is still thinks and it'sss waited by everyone
The only difference between toga and izuku is a loving parent😢
Correct me if im wrong but the next episode is the last 1 for this season
I cried a manly set of tears... toga is my favorite character and her story was so avoidable. No accountability from her her parenrs at any moment sigh . Sad part is that they are children in real life going through this as we speak.
They could've just cook rare meat with all the blood still intact and she could've been been living normally
I feel your pain 😢
I know you don’t usually do music reacts but I’d love to see you react to zeal and ardor, they are a very occult metal band with roots in African spirituals and blues. Its main tagline is what if slaves had turned to satan instead of Jesus as a form of rebellion against their masters. I’d suggest devil is fine first it is the very first album they released as a band
And the emotional train just keeps going and going holy fuck
