| As much as I like the world and most of the characters I have no idea why I can't like or feel anything about MC and main villain. |
| Still disappointed with how they handled Spinner, his speech didn't mean anything since they cut all his other stuff. They did really great with Shigaraki's backstory though. Censorships were expected, but I actually expected more censorship than what we got damn, it's pretty good. Just kinda weird how they turn to dust but leave a puddle of blood and their body parts lmao. Should of just let them explode into blood if they're just gonna leave the corpse there anyway. But those are just nitpicks, they still adapted those parts well. The parallels between Deku and Shiggy are great. A few words said and left unsaid changed their lives forever. All Might said to Deku that he can be a hero, but those words that Tenko wanted to hear as well, no one told him. This. It's beautiful.  Can't wait for the next episode. |

| What an episode. That final scene was crazy. So glad I don't follow the manga. |
UnBouquetin said: The episode was ok i guess, even underwhelming for me. The attempt by the author to make us feel bad about shigaraki's story is disgusting. Ok he had a harsh life, but it was because he refused to comply with the only rule of the family. Correct me if I'm wrong but his dad only cuffed him once in his life and it's enough to make the kid go crazy? You can't and shouldn't try to justify the murder of a whole family by just being punished to go to the corner. Hope it'll get better next episode. I heavily disagree, but I don't want to bother arguing because of how different your perspective is. Let's just agree to disagree. |
| And that's what you get for abusing your child. Shigaraki origins was damn hard and sad. Tenko didn't deserve that. Dude was emotionally/mentally/physically abused at the tender age of 5. :( Probably the best episode this season. His sister was kind of a bitch though. |

| I have to say one thing: I understand Shigaraki's motivation completely. I would also hate everything and everyone if my dad treated me like that. Holy crap, that's child abuse right there. |

| We finally got Shiguraki backstory and it was ok. I liked that they showed how gruesome it was because it adds some gravity to his actions and it’s at least somewhat reasonable how he got to that point. But, I find the melodramatic moment when Shiguraki kills everyone to be a little too unbelievable for the situation. Everyone collectively decides to not enable the dad’s abuse towards a 5-year-old Shiguraki after he abuses him again instead of while he’s doing it? That on top of the dad’s sudden change of heart felt too sudden that it became obvious it was to heighten the “what if” if Shiguraki didn’t kill everyone at that time. As a side note, can someone realistically explain how Shiguraki is so fast, strong, and durable when none of that involves his powers? |
| This episode was unexpectedly brutal, holy shit!! People talking about censorship, I wonder what got censored. Which chapters got adapted here? |

| Wow, that was darker than I expected. I knew he'd have a horrid backstory but to kill off his family like that and then to be forced to willingly (fully) kill his father like that, is just .. woah. And that final shot of Shigaraki, Bones knows when to step up at the right time, that's what it reminded me of. |

| Tomura's background is excellent, in addition to being gory! |
| I have nothing to do with this particular story at all... In our real world, how should we really act in front of such people?! Should we treat them?! Should we deal with them fairly dry and ignore their past? The conclusion is really hard... |
| they nailed the tomura backstory it was one of the moments i was waiting this season and it didn't disappoint. |

| That was awesome. Like f8cking hell. Just like whoosh the episode is gone and I'm still glued to the screen just thinking what the hell happened. Before the episodes where just meh meh don't really care what's happening or even not paying attention BUT THISSS. OMG. What just happened. wow. |

| what the dog doin by /u/bob_n_tem |
Some of you never watched Bakugan Battle Brawlers on TeleToon in 2008 and it shows. |
| Why couldn't the rest of this arc be treated this well? This is the first episode I don't have any problems with how they adapted it. |
 |
I hate you I really really Hate you for this_ |
| Shigaraki just wanted to hear the words "youre a hero" from his family but it never happened except from his sister Hana although im almost sure he will likely kill all his family and friends and his pet too since it was revealed by ReDestro that quirks influences personality anyway |
| This episode gave me chills... |
| Wish they had a warning before this episode. I for one am not huge on Dogs dying and it kind of through me off but whatever. Honestly I don't even care about this arc...it's kind of just meh. If Spinner doesn't die then why? |

DKDiabloLicht said: Damn, I wanted to feel bad for Shiguraki and thought he was a tragic character who accidentally killed his family and was manipulated by All for One, but he was a scumbag from the beginning. His dad hits him so he just kills him and is happy about it? And his rage had been 'building and building' even though he had a seemingly good family around him(except maybe his dad). I can't wait for A4O to turn on him, or for Deku to whip his ass This is something that I don't know how people say "it's ok because he was abused that he killed everyone". Me, as a child, i got so much ass beating because of bad grades, doing bad stuff while I also got trash talked a lot from my parents between the age of 5 way up to around 13-14, while being also bullied by some other kids, but I never ever thought about killing them. After 14-15, they actually were supporting and really caring for me, but mostly because I listened to them, started studying really hard. So I'm not sure how did Shigaraki just kill his whole family just because of 1 rule and one hit/punishment. This episode was dumb and would have been better if Shigaraki's backstory was left ambiguous. |
| One of the first 5/5 episodes for me this season. Especially the animation and soundtrack during the flashback were really good. |

Morssee said: Yeah... can't feel sympathy for you Shigaraki. That was a really poor 7 min story that only showed Shigaraki disobeying his father again and again and getting beat up, again and again. That's just really dumb imo, should've listened to his sister and become heroes secretly, would've ended, well, without anyone being killed. Btw, is that a new feeling? Wanting to kill, but at the same time you don't want to kill and end up still killing everyone? Just laughable. I've been in the same situation but family is family, all would've been alright if he hid his intentions from his dad, every kid will learn not to do the same thing again after several beatings (tried to explain why I don't give him sympathy so that I don't get bonked by others who disagree) It's wierd that he went Sonic and Super Sayian at the same time all of a sudden but it's understandable since the doctor made experiments on him to boost his power. Rickiya should've ended Shigaraki when he had the chance, but that would make the anime half as long so obviously, it won't happen. You nailed it, right here, right now! I really hope that we don't have to see him in after Season 5, I'm really bored of the current villain league. Overhaul in S4 was so much better than Shigaraki and it was quite a nice change that you didn't really have to see the villain league |
| I am very glad with the way they adapted Shigaraki's backstory. It was brutal, terrifying, and while being less gruesome than the manga, perfectly managed to translate the horror of the situation in anime form. The OST they chose for the massacre was tragically perfect. Considering this was the moment I was planning on being the harshest adaptation-wise, I'm actually glad that it managed to be "just as good" as the corresponding chapters. THe first half of the episode was however very messy art and animation-wise, which were all made worse by the absolutly digusting background and color choices. It's really frustrating that the episode that contains one of the most powerful and memorable moment of the manga cannot be considered as one of the best of the entire show, really hate that the schedule is mostly responsible for the mess that is MVA in the anime after they had an almost full court of advance at the start of the season. |

| Yea... looks like this is the same issue as Todoroki. Except one turns out into a Hero, while the other into a Villian. Both had crap dads, but one of them lived and is trying to change for the better, while the other literally died. ___ ___ ___ Tho Shigaraki's dad wasn't completely at wrong, since he just didn't like how he got abandoned by his mom who was a hero (aka One-For-All, probably went to train All Might). It's the same as in Real Life where if you hate something, of course you wouldn't want other people in your household to keep on talking about it, it just gets annoying. An example is a Normie that dislike Weebs, but someone else keep on talking about anime, obviously the Normie will tell the guy to shut up. (obviously everyone that's here likes anime, so in our eyes that's just stupid, but not in the eyes of Normies, which majority of the world is, only about 20 to 30% of the non-censored world population likes anime) Or even the part about abandonment... which can be applied to anyone and not just one group of people. If you get abandoned by your parents, majority of people grow up hating them. (even if the abandonment was to train All Might, some might say this is All Might's fault) |

 sigh...was hoping for this part to be drawn better his hair should have been changed to white just like in the manga at least |

| So.. the creepy hand guy killed his family and enjoyed it. Should I care? I already knew he was a villain for a reason |

| Yeah... I think they did give the episode the justice it deserved from the manga |

| Are ya winning, diners? |
| It's been SO long but we finally get something that peaks as high as the earlier seasons. Guess all hope is not lost just yet. |
