| Damn, look at all that armor. This episode felt like a mini movie seeing the two sides clash in the final season. They didn't forget about some of the other heroes either in what turned into a lot of emotions. Felt like after the the break, this anime came back with high expectations. This felt like a personal battle for All Might among anything else. And what a cliffhanger with the hero killer! The theme songs also convey a wave of emotions imo. |
 |
| I mean, this show has never been shy about long recaps, pretty sure there was even a whole recap episode or close to one back in season six. But that was at least halfway through, so it kind of made sense to a certain extent. But seriously... a twelve-minute recap to start off your FINAL season? Whatever, be my guest. All Might giving it his all is pretty much the only thing you need to remember from where we last left off. Oh and uh, Mr. Traitor is here too, I guess. Though seeing Invisible Girl there was pretty neat, I won’t lie. Anyways, by now random characters showing up out of nowhere is basically this series’ bread and butter. It’s nothing new, it happens every single time. So it shouldn’t be a surprise that Stain, of all people, shows up here. Well, Invisible Girl is also like, not Invisible anymore as well, so yeah, that's a thing to worry about..? I think? OP is as expected, nothing too out of this world, just something to celebrate the past ten or so years we’ve had with this series. Doesn’t feel real to say, but yeah this is really it from here. A part of me couldn’t be more glad to finally let go of this, but another part of me can’t help feeling a bit sad seeing one of my first animes come to an end. Only time will tell, but it’s bound to be a nice few final weeks with this one. |

| Feels surreal that after all these years and all these seasons, this one is actually the final one, and this series would really conclude for good this time. Despite all the ups and downs, seeing something finally coming to an end does make you feel a few things. Manga already ended last year and though I think the adaptation wouldn’t exactly expand over the ending and such, but still, I kind of want them to. Not sure how many episodes this one would have, but yeah, starting something without any nonsense and stuff would always get points from me. All Might pulling off Iron Man would always end with that same ending Iron Man got, I mean has to be poetic, right? The man’s way past his prime, but hey, nothing screams 'dangerous' like someone with nothing left to lose. Watching AFO actually struggle was proof enough of just how recklessly All Might went at it. Easily one of the rare highlights of that last arc. Sure, it could’ve looked better, but hey, this was still pretty dope. Seeing invisible girl being relevant after all this time is pretty hilarious though. Anyway, OP sounds the same way every other OP had in this series, so.. yeah. Good start though, really feels like we're in the endgame. |

| After nearly 10 years in the making, mangaka Kohei Horikoshi's Boku no Hero Academia a.k.a My Hero Academia's anime is in its FINAL stages to conclude the manga in its proper form after a year's wait since last Fall with Season 7! Continuing on with the Final War arc, where we left off with All Might and All For One's confrontation, even with the former aided with his armour gear, he just could not stack up to All For One, so much so that the armour is doing all of the work for him to finally bring an edge against the illusive evil of all time. On the other end, fellow Tartarus escapee Kunieda gaining traction against the Pro Heroes and Aoyama, his Quirk may be one of the most useless out there, but at least he's doing a heroic job alongside All Might going all out beyond the limits of his gears to put One For All down, with the scene of a grandmother and her grandson looking from the recorded TV screen. However, All For One's shining moment to stop his growth...along with Stain's arrival, All Might is fighting a losing battle... Hagakure losing her Invisibility after helping Aoyama deflect his powers, the "traitor" still is not done with his work, not just yet... Porno Graffiti is back after so long to deliver the series's final OP, and while subtle, is a good OP with references to the very 1st OP of the series. Bones, you'd better deliver for the final season! |
 |
Finally! Aoyama and Hagakure team up! what a deadly combo. |
| First 10 minutes mostly being a recap but actually welcome here considering it's the last season. Aside from that, great first episode getting back into it. All Might getting his moments and I loved Aoyama / Hagakure's scene, although she's not that invisible anymore x) Excited for the rest of the season! |
 |
We’re already at the beginning of the end. I was so excited and impatiently waiting for this episode. I watched it as soon as it came out, and here I am. The excitement is on another level. Seeing the OSTs again in a renewed format, seeing All Might smile until the very last moment, even getting just a few seconds of Deku. it was all so beautiful. I honestly feel like a kid right now. I can barely even talk, but I’m just so glad they’re back. I really hope we get to see everything from the manga this seasonnnnn. |
| It's finally here! What a banger first ep, quick recap and straight into the action. We got that jack of all trades Batman vs Benjamin Button Superman. Good to see (pun intended) Hagakure and Aoyama having their time to shine (pun intended) again. But most importantly, chad Stain coming back into the action. |
 |
| Ok, it's been a while, 8 seasons to be precise, but we've finally reached this point. The fight between Toshinori and All for One? The last stand from the symbol of peace?The gory mess that is this fight? No, we saw someone actually seeing the Invisible Girl. And that's basically what I got from this episode. To be fair the fight would have been hype at this point hadn't it started months/years ago. At this point I'm just questioning whether this final season will actually be the final one. It should be, yet you never know. |

| PLUS ULTRA we are so back!!! great first episode very solid can't wait to watch the next one!!! |
| PLEASE STOP RATING!!! less than 4 means that you don't know how to judge Anime / Manga!!! best recom on https://www.instagram.com/otakuweek?igsh=em5kY3Q4NTVtNXlh or Discord https://discord.gg/vbZrk64uH7 |
| It’s back and this episode was fire icl |
 |
| Damn, wasn't expecting Eraser Head to make an appearance but we did get a shot of him earlier while All might's reminiscing so maybe I should've seen it coming. Intense battle with All for One but to be honest, the best the heroes can hope for is just to wear him down in hopes of raising their chances for upcoming battles. Hagakure-chan making her second appearance? Nice to see a proper introduction, didn't really get to tell much from her last appearance after all. At this point, any ominous signs surrounding Toshinori-san don't concern me one bit xD but here's to hoping he's able to land a decisive blow or two at least... Despite my lack of expectations for this conclusion, it's still emotional to see a long-running series like this come to an end. Its highs were top of the cabinet level and S4 revived the series a bit for me so it definitely hasn't been sinking non-stop. I'm curious about Bump of Chicken-san ED though! Could make for a nice farewell ~ |

| The recap at the beginning was pretty lengthy, but I don't mind it since it does perfectly transition into the continuation of the fight between All Might and All For One. The tension and stakes are at an all-time high and no doubt that the two of them were giving it their all. Stain's arrival was perfectly timed and it looks like he's jumping into the battle as well to help out All Might. Not only that, but we did get more focus on Aoyama and the dire situation he and other heroes were in by the plant lover, Kunieda. I'm glad that he was able to step up and showcase what his power can do, also with some help from Hagakure. Speaking of, Aoyama's powers did glitch out Hagakure's invisibility, so it led to a funny moment upon her realising that he can see her full on naked. XD Overall, this was an exciting start of HeroAca's final season. The animation quality put into the earlier fights were really good and I hope that quality can be kept up as much as possible as we head towards the end of the series. Porno Graffiti's new OP song was also pretty good, too. I do look forward to hearing what the ED sounds like soon enough. |
| Really has the vibe of a finale from the start, episode was epic as expected, absolutely loved All Might's suit using powers of his students, didn't expect Hagakure to show her chara design again, for an invisible girl she sure has a great design, Opening is good,pretty melancholic like the other recent ones, maybe expected more since it's the last one but it fits well with the arc, Man it's the first episode and i already think about how i'm gonna miss this show when it's over, we still have vigilante sure but this is a giant that's ending this season :'( |
| Deep dark fantasies |
| Glad that they picked up the fight between All for One and All Might right from the start. It always sends chills down my spine when All Might fights even if he isn't in his prime and using Armor. The dude literally has GOAT (Yagi) in his name, haha After using Eri's quirk too much, All for one has now really become a kid. Thanks to All Might's continuous attack forcing All for One to rewind and regenerate again and again. Now STAIN has arrived at the scene to help his hero❤️🔥❤️🔥 Aoyoma and Hagakure got their time to shine. I wish Invisible girl doesn't remain invisible. It's a crime to hide such Beauty 💖😘✨✨ They deliver again with a fine op for this season as well. Porno Graffiti started MHA with the op 'The Day' and now they are ending things with with this new ep 'Revo'..🥹🥹 My Hero Academia has been such a faithful adaptation to manga lasting for 8 whole seasons. Been watching it since season 2 started. None of the superhero movies or anime has moved me so much as Horikoshi sensei's work. I'm gonna bawl my eyes out when it comes to an end. |
| We've really been getting season after season of this series consistently for nearly a decade now and we finally made it to the final season. Very fitting that they brought back Porno Graffitti for the OP, it's the perfect bookend. They gave us the first OP, and now they're giving us the final OP. This song also including the line "The day has come" brings it all together perfectly. This was a great return for the series' final season and I'm glad we'll be able to see the manga adapted in its entirety. |
| People on MAL refuse to actually enjoy watching anime. Your taste in anime isn't a personality trait. Take me back to the days before MAL became infested with Twitter's favorite buzzwords. |
| I really thought Hagakure was gonna do a Kamehameha. Wasted opportunity. |
| We have finally reached here. 10 years in the making. Usually not a fan of recaps but i liked it for recalling how much stuff is going on and how serious its going down with everyone doing their best. Stain my goat with a great entry and straightaway into action. Aoyama given good screentime and highlight. He did a phenomenal job. Hagakure with the huge assist was amazing. That little glitch was a nice touch, made a little light moment amidst all this which i liked ngl  Oui indeed. Aoyama got a little treat. xD Great start and i hope the hype & direction is consistent throught the season cause we are in for a ride. I trust Studio bones to deliver as usual with the fights, action sequence, osts and important scenes. Porno graffitti doing the Opening the final season is so poetic since they did "The Day" For season 1. We have come around full circle , love to see it! <3 cant wait to see the ED too. The Finale Season Begins! |
| Amazing first episode. Even though there was a recap it still felt like progress. Best girl appears. Literally. Even stain came back, wow. It would be kinda funny if AfO actually got defeated by a quirkless machine, lol. BnhA has been a wild ride, some parts were amazing, some not so much. But I watched it from day one when it was still "the new fresh shounen" and am glad to see it getting completed now. Even after a decade, All Might is just pure hype. |
