Boku no Hero Academia 5th Season Episode 20 Discussion

Bones producing a MHA movie at the same as a tv series only to ruin one of the most hyped and anticipated arc. 5D chess move.
Yeah it made sense to cut all of this great canon content to instead produce a filler episode halfway through this season. Just brilliant from Bones.

What is worse in your opinion ?

An adaptation so incredibly bad it turns into an ironic enjoyement that noone will even consider it as a serviceable way of experiencing the story and will die in people's mind as a meme and nothing more.

Or an adaptation not downright terrible that people can convince themselves into thinking this is an actual good way of experiencing the story even tho it's clearly inferior to its source material in both its presentation and its narration.

My point is, TPN S2 did way less damage to the series' reputation because noone took it seriously, MHA S5 by being perfectly average can hurt the series more because it tells the actual story but in a flawed way

We already know who won tho, so this arc's outcome is very predictable imo, which already ruined one of the best aspects of the arc: suspense.

Don’t really know about that,

I think the arc’s outcome in the anime isn’t that compromised, I mean, we don’t even know if Shigaraki managed to overcome the MLA, or has the League been absorbed into the organization for some other reason.

I wouldn’t even say it’s predictable?

I mean does Shigaraki win? Or does Re-Destro merge them into the MLA because of some other factor? What happened to Shigaraki that led him into the doctor’s hands?
How did the entire city get destroyed?

Bruh, they legit show us in episode 15 that the MLA and Leauge of Villains have merged as an organisation, plus we are shown scenes of Shigaraki being experimented by the Doctor, which suggests that the Leauge of Villains have won the fight, as the Doctor promised him ultimate power if he wins. Also, it is shown in the anime that the city got decayed by Shigaraki, so it's obvious who is going to win in this upcoming fight.

Maxxzs said:



It shows him decaying the city but he’s also gravely injured. I don’t see it inferring that he won at all?

Please explain how we know that he won? I’m trying to argue in good faith with you.

But it looks to me you’re legitimately spoiling, and it’s not really too cool.

It shows them merged, but how did they manage to merge? Did Redestro make his own decision to do it out of seeing some sort of potential from Shigaraki? Or did Shigaraki manage to overcome the entire organization?

Explain to me how you could know definitively this answer unless you read the manga? Shigaraki is with the doctor gravely wounded, I mean, isn’t just as possible he lost comparable to Todoroki vs Midoriya, but with his resolve he managed to prove something to both Redestro and the doctor.

It’s strange that you’re trying to argue for the conclusion when it’s not a solid argument to say the entire conclusion is spoiled.

There are things you could argue that were perhaps legitimately spoiled. Like who survives the arc and such, but the conclusion is definitely not one of those.
