Star n Stripe was such a badass character, one of the best in the series. Such a waste, unless there was permanent damage.

Either way...but so was rabbit girl. This series kind of casually tosses its best characters in sake of nerds who nobody cares about.

MHA is the ultimate good character destroyer/bad character retainer, that pattern just continues here.

Uh...spoilers for a 20 year old move, I guess. Anyways.

You know the scene in Underworld where Amelia gets offed while the people who should be helping her are right there, but do nothing? This felt like that. Endeavor and Hawks know Stars is coming to help at their request. They can see the battle going on. They can fly. And they...just decide not to go help? What the hell guys?

I know Stars was plot-fated to die here, but then why write in Endeavor and Hawks at all? Or why not have them be somewhere else? Why have them be close enough to help, but still do nothing? They didn't even try to fly out there. They just kept driving/flying along the road to...wherever?

That's sad for Star and Stripe we only saw her for this fight but I already liked her character... though that sacrifice was great, I especially like the idea of adding a quirk rebellion rule just before dying, now they have a chance to stop One For All, hopefully.

So insanely disappointing to see Star here just for two eps. New order seemed interesting but nothing happened. It just feels like she as introduced and resolved just cause
Idk man this left a sour taste in my mouth

Star and Stripe character needed more build up , it was wasted like that. sigh, she had potential to have a good build up but only in 2 ep they rip her off like that. i dont even feel sad about the death because build up was done bad. she was cool tho. maybe they will revive her somehow? i doubt.

Aw Star and Stripe is dead, but her sacrifice has helped give the Heroes a fighting chance!
I'm Bruneian and I like anime. And Manchester United. And fat cats.

Wow what an interesting new character, it sure look forward to seeing her do literally anything else in the entire show. Why did they introduce her just to kill her off LMAO, I mean it was a cool fight and a cool quirk, but it just felt like nothing happened at the end of it all.

Why you gonna kill off a character as bad ass as Star and Stripe!? She fucked Shigaraki/All for One up. I haven't been this pumped up in a while.
@AnimeJunky Yeah like literally wtf. They just added her in and spent all this time explaining her ability and backstory and then just killed her off after like 20 mins of screen time.

It was so satisfying to see Star's body decay and crumbling away. Why there isn't more hero dying?

Bruhhh that sucks. Introduce a really cool looking character, have her be the face of marketing and then kill her off in the second episode. I doubt she'll return too cus of how dramatic and long her death was. I'm disappointed but it was such a sick episode and seeing Shigaraki get dicked so hard that he almost dies was incredible satisfying. Especially how she almost killed him and talked to him in death before she disintegrated was amazing. One of the- if not THE coolest quirks of the show. Really hope she somehow returns.

I thought Stars and Stripes would be a prominent character here in season 7, but nope I guess not. However she has dealt a major(?) blow to Shigaraki/All For One and her actions and heroism will no doubt echo throughout the season and be an incredible source of motivation for our young heroes. I think she could've use way more screen time, but what we got was good as well.

This show continues to be pretty cringe, but it's the kind of cringe that I can get behind. Don't ask why, I don't really know either.

Introducing new character only so they can nerf the main antagonist and then die, peak writing. Also the "sad flashback before they die" trope aka "we didn't have the time to flesh out the character but we need to make the viewer feel something idk". Trash.

She kicked the bucket in 2 Episodes flat like what?
She was a Titan and Confetti too.

Mha dissapointed me so many times.
This anime doesn't know how to show women having Badass fights.

And when it finally does It just does it so well then just kill them off.


Wtf horikoshi

Rip Star you were a real one. Wonder how Shingaki will survive with either AFO or New Order.

Oh. OF COURSE the next good guy character to die in this show (Star and Stripe) only appears for a total of 2 episodes before dying. Okay. Well, that's not enough episodes for me to care about her. Need them to appear for 15 episodes at least for me to feel shocked about a good guy character dying. And of course she doesn't even have 100 favs on MAL. Still hoping that a good guy character that appears for more than 15 episodes, has a lot of presence, is young, and likable, dies later on. I seemed to have been spoiled about the 2 good guy characters' deaths that did appear for more than 15 episodes etc, and I'm hoping that's not it. I'm gonna be so pissed if that is it, which would mean that I got spoiled about every good guy character death of characters that appeared in 15+ episodes just like with Naruto.

Shigaraki... I bet one day the author will realize that adding an invincible villain ruined the whole franchise :(

Stars and Stripes was actually strong enough, but died because of random facegrab. that is sad, although she destroyed some Quirks, probably the useless ones.
Shigaraki added another Quirk when he already had problems with his current Quirks :facepalm:

It was a cool fight, of course we could have expected that she wouldn't win, but she shouldn't die after 20 minutes.
