| THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE. ---------------------------------------- Man, hearing All For One's voice narration is something else. They even inserted a special soundtrack just for his scenes with Shigaraki. Shigaraki's transformation from his meek child to his present self pretty much cast him into what he is today in the present. And it's a chilling episode imo..probably one of the more psychological impactful of his arc. |
 |
| Possibly one of the best episodes of this entire season, really fleshing out shigaraki beyond what we just knew about him. You can quickly tell from just this episode what twisted him to become a powerhouse of the league of villains, by far one of the most chilling episodes I’ve watched this anime season |

| Another My Villain Academia episode and we're still digging deep into Shigaraki's past. Man... it was sad seeing him like that. Nobody was willing to help the little kid. It's no wonder he turned out the way he did. Gigantomachia also made an appearance in this episode. And, it was crazy to see Shigaraki acting like a psychopath with all the things he has been through his whole life. I'm glad to see that Toga is alright. The Liberation Army and the League of Villains have united with each other under "The Paranormal Liberation Front". |
 |
| First, it's the Origin story of Tenko Shimura. Now we see his Origin story of rebirth to the No. 1 villain we all know best: Tomura Shigaraki. To see All For One teach young Tenko his ways of exacting evil through his Decay quirk, it's the beginnings of the Symbol of Fear. And against Re-Destro, that grit is evident while Gigantomachia makes his way to save Shigaraki from harm. Well, don't actually need Gigantomachia for this, and Shigaraki can make this his own "Plus Ultra" of a fight against Re-Destro failing to live up to Destro's promises, and conceding to Shigaraki. Haha, I actually love Twice's fascination of dead Toga with his trauma, while the blood-sucking girl herself of course making it out alive. But the basis is true: the League of Villains partnering up with Re-Destro's Meta Liberation Army is the right call, forming the Paranormal Liberation Front to form their own MHA version in the form of MVA. What an impactful arc that My Villain Academia is though. |
 |
| “Origin” episodes never disappoint. 5/5 |
 |
| The rest of Shigaraki backstory has been adapted pretty well, the final fight with Re-destro could have been better but it was still good, what bothers me is the absence of Nakamura since he did 2 cuts on the joint training arc. EDIT: Also the removal of this panel was disappointing  |

| I love when the MCs main villain and their road to being the top dog is showcased as deeply as Shigarashi's has been. Between his actual backstory, the day his quirk activated, revenge/actions on Overhaul and now making ReDestro look like a lapdog so badly his own men are starting to resent him, Shigarashi has imo entered that Top Villain GOAT discussion with Madara, Aizen, Griffith, Dio, your pick |
 I'm going to be the Wizard Hokage of the Pirates!!!! |
| I think this may be the best episode of the season. |
 |
| Even more of these lame villains! This has to be the worst arc in the series so far. The villains in this show have always been kind of dull, giving them all this extra screen time has only highlighted how utterly uninteresting they really are. |
 everything was great except for this also they changed the moment Shiggy's hair turns white, in the manga it was after he destroyed the hands but in the anime it was after he went plus ultra with his quirk |

It's like the opposite for you, that is what he's also saying, hence "for you, it's gonna get worse" only for you. |

People who only like mha because of deku, bakugo, or todoroki will find this arc not good, so it's understandable that you didn't like it but don't say that it is the worst arc or lame villains because you're just hating on it, just say that the arc isn't for you which you did. That's all |

It's shigaraki's show from here on. You are in very extreme minority that have absolute garbage taste and don't like the absolutely amazing writing of villains and prefer boring one dimensional heroes. Just because my opinion is different from yours doesnt mean its garbage lol, I'm honestly impressed you think these generic villains are well written. I actually don't mind cliche shonen villians at all but this arc just takes it too far. |
| We again got to see how much of a evil AFO is, leading Shigaraki to that path. Now Shigaraki's authority is totally unmatchable, Re destero giving up himself and his organization to him is a proof of this. Paranormal Liberation Front, the new villian's organization will be a much bigger threat for the heroes than the League of Villians. Just one more episode to go after this, will see where they will wrap this up. |

| The final episode of MVA, showing the true awakening of Shiggy. They really snapped on the animation for the decay scene. Obviously not everything was perfect and there was some censored parts, but compared to how mid most of this season has been, this episode was basically a godsend. The Paranormal Liberation Front has been established, and now the stage is being set for all out war between them and the heroes. As much as I disliked the decision to switch the order of arcs around this season, I'll admit that it's nice that we got the Endeavor Agency arc out of the way so that we can go straight from this arc to the PLW arc. |
| People on MAL refuse to actually enjoy watching anime. Your taste in anime isn't a personality trait. MAL is literally just anime Twitter as its own website lol. |
| Tenko Shimura changes into Tomura Shigaraki. AFO made a monster an even bigger monster than you can imagine. Shigaraki is absolutely the best villian in the show, next to Stain. Well, even Re-Destro is nothing against Shigaraki's decay quirk. And that little bit of sakura moments were absolutely EPIC. Fleshed out Shigaraki's character a bit more thanks to the backstory and what he achieved right now. Gigantomachia finally acknowlegded him as the new succesor, half-way tho. It's the end of the MVA arc and soon we'll be getting in Paranormal Liberation Front Arc but that won't be for this season. MVA was good but could have been better. |

| The 100k liberations clowns were defeated by a squad of like 6 ppl just as quickly as the came to relevancy. But now they have become spooky liberation clown army so that's a thing I guess. |
| Toga stole da show, too hawt to handle looking all banged up and bandaged up. |
 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. |
| Like with last week, the origin episodes for Tomura was intriguing and satisfying. We got to see how he wandered around after slaying his family before being found by All For One, who eventually put him on the path to where is is now, as well as giving him the name "Tomura Shigaraki", where Shigaraki is All For One's actual surname. At this point, Re-Destro didn't stand a chance, even when he used his trump card. Although we only got a short scene of it, the animation quality for Tomura's decay powers going berserk was excellent. Thanks to his victory, the Paranormal Liberation Front has been born and it'll be a tough adversary for our heroes to take on. I assume the last episode will be mainly a build-up towards the next big arc, but I do look forward to it regardless. =) |
| holy shit shigaraki literally turned into kanke mage memes aside this was a good episode |
| Now that MVA in the anime is finished, I can definitely say that 6 episodes would have been perfect instead of 5 and they wouldn't have needed to cut anything. But this episode specifically was fantastic though. Other than how they butchered the start of the arc, Spinner and cutting some Re-Destro stuff, I'd say the rest is great. Though, I suggest reading the manga version of MVA for the complete experience. Man, Shigaraki looks so fucking good with the white hair, he looks so much better. Re-Destro turned into a Shigaraki simp real q u i c k. Really looking forward to the season finale, though I am more excited for season 6. Hopefully with no more bullshit production decisions. |

| Damn Shigaraki is the new leader after that huge battle and it's surprising that he didn't die, seems like they'll be even harder to beat now and since they said there will be a big battle villain vs heroes that start next ep I really can't wait (even though it's the last one for this season) |
 |
| Man, what an episode. Damn, this episode highlights the transformation from regular Shigaraki to being an absolute leader. Shigaraki's new genesis! Really, the fight was pretty much over before it started after all that character development on Shigaraki. |

| If anything I think they did a nice job with MVA. However, I really wanted them to adapt everything correctly. Like they did with Class joint battle arc. They should've adapted Spinner's narration and his other stuff with this one. Of course I wanted better art detail and some animation when it came to Toga's scenes. Sure I may be nitpicking too much. But let's just say I wanted it to be better. It is good how they adapted it. Though it could've been better. |

| Damn Shigaraki looks hella dope ngl. The white hair, blood thirsty eyes, and enhanced quirk make him a formidable villain. Also Paranormal Liberation Front has been formed. Gigantomachia now obeys Shiggy. Looks like the next season will include the all out war they are talking about. |
