| Great backstory from Toga. I seen on Twitter how the Toga vs Curious scene was changed from the Original Animator vision. This scene would've been so much crazier. I guess time is limited, maybe. But they priorities the new movie instead? I feel they just want to replicate the success of Demon Slayer Mugen Train. |
 |
| I thought this episode was beautifully done, not perfect by any means, but I loved the episode. I wanted to know Toga's backstory for the longest time. I was also wondering what made her go from you're typical normal life to her current life. I was at the edge of my seat with the fight scenes. Tomura is showing strong signs of sleep deprivation, but that is understandable. It was hard to watch when Toga was getting battered during her fight and what happened at the end with Twice, who is the only person who cares about her. |
| Toga's past is really painful. |
 |
| I want to fucking cry and not for any good reasons... First of all, let's say, wow the ep was likeable, Toga's backstory was adapted well and it's honestly was spot on. All of the Villain Leagues members are immediately pushed to fighting their respective adversaries, however, this ep was dedicated for Toga, Himiko Toga! She is a savage who longed for her own version of joy and happy life, one that contradicts the standards of this modern superhero society, and thus was the reason she is here today with the League of Villains. A simple enough motivation, yet with a strong one enough for her to absolutely slaughters all of her opponents in one last badass push. Fuck yeah, Toga!!! Now then... For something more... Painful. The PowerPoint slides-like animation... What the fuck, I've seen the trend of downgrading animation in BnHA nowadays, but they usually always pull off something great for the truly iconic scenes, one such as this which needless to be said, is practically ruined by the still-frame fight scenes. What a crappy disappointment, despite already foreseeing this to be what will happen. For those who don't know, apparently Bones ran out of time in their schedule for this ep along with the budget cuts due to Bones pouring it towards the new movie instead of this whole season. Take a look at the rough animation Chansard Vincent done for this ep... What a missed opportunity... |

| The reporter lady was pretty funnny ngl. I have a feeling the animation in this episode was really rushed though. |

| My favourite character Toga Himiko shines this episode! but not good she was totally beaten-up near death! but w0w she can also use quirks this time and not just appearance!?!? so league of villain also acquiring power boost huh...just take a look at Shigaraki also did a power boost huh... 5/5. |
 |
| Toga is so twisted, the literal embodiment of 'cute but psycho'! Next week's ep is gonna be so mad cause it's one of my favorite parts of BNHA (as a Twice fan). It's so awesome that the Leagues quirks are powering up but when you think about it from the point of view of the Deku & Friends... this is a fucking disaster! |
 |
| MHA has been so disappointing for so long. But we're finally getting the show we wanted and could have been. The final ep of the Endeavor family arc was incredible and this ep with Toga and learning her backstory and Villain High have been the best eps maybe in the history of the show. Gotta admit, I didn't really get the 'our friend was a Nomu all along' episode. That was just weird and poorly paced, also, how is shadow-face a Nomu? He's a type of Nomu? I'm so confused. So everybody liked Shadow-Nomu but the Endeavor and Villain High arcs have been my jam. Finally we're getting: action on the streets, application of powers to the thing they were intended for: the streets. Did I mention the streets? They're very important, we really needed more streets in this anime since that was basically the goal all along. The boys fighting with Endeavor, Endeavor going through stuff, and now my fave characters: the villains. I empathize with the villains in this show WAY more than the heroes. The heroes have no motivation for what they do. They're good because...that's what you're supposed to be. But why would you be what society tells you to be? You need an internal reason, which I don't feel satisfied we ever got (but there were countless backstories!--which were generic). This is turning out to be the best season since S1 for me. The S2 tournament arc gave hints of how these powers could show up on the big screen. But I still want to build the main characters. The heroes haven't been put through the shredder, they've been having laughs in their dormitory. I want these bros to get cut up like Toga. Man, an arc that exposes the true depths of Tsuyu or Uraraka or Bakugo would be choice. |

| I mean, I can agree the season has been feeling rushed recently and I ain't a big fan of it, HOWEVER, it doesn't lower my expectations at all for the upcoming episodes. How Shigaraki and Toga got their upgrades, that explanation exists in the manga, they cut off plenty of that in the anime. Anyhoo, I found this episode more interesting and can't wait to see more of what's about to come. |

| Ahh, I was expecting some sakuga when Decay was being used... Seems like the director loves speeding past impactful moments, which is not a good thing at all. The storytelling feels like it's in a rush to just tell those moments by the minimum and get on with it. I know that making movies puts budget restrains high and those are the big moneymakers (sadly), but I'd like to see the main canon work having the top importance in terms of production. |

| uh oh! |
| Would've been hilarious if Toga smiled with broken teeth ngl. Anyway, seems like I underestimated the villain gang. They look rather tenacious and lethal when they took on the meta-power mob. Actually, why didn't Toga die yet with all those explosions? No seriously. |
 |
| Why there aren't citizens in that town? They fight in an empty town. Also why heros don't show to capture villains? Everyone disapears exept villains. |
| I don't see how the rest of MVA gets adapted in four episodes; there's just way too much there. Hopefully the corners they're cutting now will help with a better adaptation next season. |
| Controversial opinions |
| Animation wasn't all that great but it was a decent episode and probably the episode I enjoyed the most from this season lol. Himiko was crazy out there. Now she can also replicate the quirks! How crazy is that! Shigaraki's decay can spread now? Damn. |
 |
| Damn toga is best girl im mHa, holy shit I love her more and more every fucking episode she is on. |
 Behold of my awesomeness~ controversial and/or sensitive topics likely devolve into the same repetitive, derogatory, abusive, and harassing comments can no longer be posted. But my feels. |
| Solid episode even if the animation was a bit lacking. The meta liberation army are ridiculously passionate if they are willing to become bombs themselves. Toga's normal really is not normal. She's a bit of a tragic character since she was crazy from the very beginning. I feel bad for Twice. A clone attack really hits him where it hurts most. |

kfsilver89 said: I feel so incredibly sorry for anime only’s. Anyone that read the manga knows this was absolutely incredible. I was on the edge of my seat and thought for sure Toga was dead. Oh well… shame that studio bones doesn’t give a crap about their western audience. Not like I DONT KNOW!! My hero academia is the most popular series for western audience. This is Studio Deen’s level of dog crap animation for this series. Studio bones… step up mates. youre trolling right? u are watching my hero academia, and thought the 2nd most important league of villain character would be killed off to some no name character? i get you just wanna be angry and criticize evrything but your inability to use critical thinking isnt the anime's fault |
OmankoMan said: Dukino said: "This isn't Mappa". This just proves that you don't know anything about anime production schedules. Here are some studios that do not overwork their staff: Ufotable, KyoAni. The end. Pierrot, JC staff, Cloverworks are worse than Mappa. This is a problem with the entire anime industry, not some particular studio.Spinner big moment hasn't happened yet. That's when they'll bring that stuff back. Bones is not over working their staff lol. This isn't Mappa. Now about MHA. Ofc the team is being overworked. They literally have no breaks. Not only are they doing a movie and tv show simultaneously, they immediately have to start working on the respective Blu-ray releases, and then the next season. This is worse than even Wit studio aot team's level of overworking. (Mappa's aot was a ticking time bomb from the very start). it is very clear your only measure of "how much over working is happening " is based on how much the studio is releasing. for some reason u equate " More animes being released = more being overworked" like u dont at all understand the size differences of these studios and the seperation of different shows. i get youre still young but damn, use some critical thinking |
SoraSenpai said: Great episode but are we supposed to Like or Dislike Toga more after this episode? Like I never knew why people liked her to begin with. I didn't have issues with her. her powers were interesting enough for a Villain but this episode made me dislike her more. She's still a great Villain but a little over hyped imo. However I do think her turning into Ochako showed how much potential Ochako's gravity powers have. Same, to me it seems like people simply needed a new yandere since Mirai Nikki is old news at this point (Gasai Yuno was the 19th most popular character on MAL when the S3 episode where she talks to Deku aired 3 years ago, she's now 37th) and Himiko appeared in a popular enough anime at the right time. |
| Got to see some glimpses of Toga's past and also Quirk upgrade of Toga and Shigaraki as well Cool ep |
| Even the villains are leveling up and I didn’t mind the interview lady she was asking really good questions |
 |
| Damn Toga is more fucked up than I thought, that smile. Nice episode but I hated that random girl so much. Cool Dabi and Shigaraki moments as well. |
Come on man,where is that Noragami season 3 masterpiece.We want it, Bones! |
| What a mess they've got themselves into. |
| Toga destroyed those fools lol. Being able to take the looks after drinking their blood but now even use their quirks? Shiga turning that group into dust without even touching them oof |
| Toga was such a badass character in this episode....she even improved her quirk or meta ability or whatever it's called now....Even Shigaraki improved too, not to mention Dabi...So far this villain arc has been really good.... |
| What an episode! Damn, this is like the training arc but for villains that got animated, and we finally get to know more about them. The whole Toga flashback was definitely creepy but i like how they also show their's perspective and how she fits in the plan. What a great episode! The whole animation, they just keep bringing! |
"There is no such thing as an Anime elitist. You watch Anime, therefore, you are trash by society's standards." |
| Great episode, shedding light on the human side of our antagonists too! |
| I'm Bruneian and I like anime. And Manchester United. And fat cats. |
| This season is so meh anway why no one speak about shigaraki flashback, look like his mother was all might predecessor, for sure the most important detail of the episode, not the randoms villain power ups to match the main cast |
| The Liberation Army are many, but will they be able to handle that giant, if and when it arrives? |
 |
| Toga is actually a pretty damn good character. Really love the development here and just seeing her. <3 |
 |
| So this was the infamous episode of the unused Vincent Chansard genga. Other than the scene looking worse visually (obviously), the SB also looks very awkward. Anyway, I think my biggest problem this season is how horribly the music is being used. S4 also had production inconsistencies (not to this level) but the ost tried so hard, it just feels nothing this season. |
| Oh Toga focus episode, a fucked up past for the fucked up girl, live truly a cruel charade. Tho when she also received a power up, it is actually a good fest on my book! |
 Hide and seek is the best offline games on this fatamorgana-called-world-thing. Please comment nicely. I am newbie here. I'm level  on mal-badges. View my badges  |
| Seems like all the villains are getting random powerups, also some backstory of Toga. Overall MVA has been quite unimpressive so far. I see people talking about how it should be longer, but I already wish they would go faster with this. |
