Well this arc has finally come to an end. RIP Nighteye, he wasn't around for very long and it would have been nice to see him later in the story in some capacity, but he was still a pretty cool character during his time in this arc. Looking forward to the rest of the season.

I feel like I'm seeing mixed opinions about this arc now that it's over, which is why I was cautious to not hype it up so much when this season was first announced. I wasn't too big on this arc when I first read it in the manga, but I hoped that maybe the anime would change my mind about it. It didn't unfortunately, but it looks like I'm not the only one who felt like this arc didn't really live up to the hype.

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.

Was this the first time Shigaraki revealed his face in the show? Don't recall him doing so before.

Poor Chisaki. I genuinely felt bad for the guy.

RIP Nighteye. Wish we could get more of him.

Honestly this episode went by super fast, I was really surprised at first when it ended.

Since he was going to die either way, couldn't they have tried using Eri to fix him up? Could've worked, probably.

The League of Villains are one of the most weightless, insignificant group of antagonists in any major shounen series. They do nothing and have no one remotely intimidating, Shigakari is a terrible villain, Dabi is just there to look cool , Toga's alright, and everyone else don't even look like they should be villains. They completely hoe'd overall when they'd get stomped by 100% midoriya too. I really hope they receive significant development that can potentially redeem themselves in my eyes because they're just so uninteresting and bland.

Overall, very good episode. though. Glad Nighteye actually ended up dying (makes everything more intense) rather than miraculously surviving. Mirio's VA does a great job as well.

Let me just ask this then can you give me one good reason why this 'headcanon' is wrong. Do you actually need each and every narrative explained and spoon fed. It is constantly mentioned Eri can't control her quirk to the point she rewound her father to nothingness by just touching him. Any person with the ability think a plot for themselves would tell you how terrible of an idea letting her go through more people's death because of her quirk would be considering the canon has established her quirk to be highly unstable as well as established her psyche as being the way I have explained.

You never considered the opposite. Wouldn't it build up her self esteem to see that her power can be used for good to save a life instead of the lies she'd been told that it's only cursed? "Look Eri you saved someone no one else could you and you're power are amazing!" No no, because her thinking she is still cursed would be the better way to go 9_9

In terms of how the story has explained her quirk the major probability is the person will end up dying. I mean seriously the only person she has used her quirk on and ended up properly working on was Deku and that was because he was using 100% full cowling meaning he was constantly breaking every bone in his body rapidly and even then Eri's power was rewinding him so fast that he wasn't even feeling pain and it even ended up overpowering him later on. Even aizawa mentions how the only reason he survived is because he can constantly cause major injuries to himself and because aizawa stopped Eri before she could do major damage.
What you are saying is a fair point but it is basically gambling. There is a chance you will hit the jackpot and save Nighteye while boosting Eri's morale but there is a higher probability that Nighteye will still die and Eri will be further traumatized. With how the show is formatted and how the characters are presented, the heroes taking such a risk with their rescuee is something that would make no sense. If all they want is to use Eri's power with no regard for her as a person and of her emotions what was the whole point of rescuing her?

R.I.P Sir Nighteye; he didn't have very much time to receive proper development as a character, so I felt apathetic for the entire hospital scene. The fact that they had to quarantine the girl under the pretenses that she can't control her quirk gives no credibility to the argument that you can't just have her reset Nighteye. Even if she can't control it, she still has the means to utilize it. And, yes, she was hospitalized and unconscious because of a fever, but that seems less like a genuine reason and more like a poorly placed justification for the gaping inconsistencies.

By the same token, the entire changing the future vibe calls into question the very nature of his quirk and it's reliability. If Deku could change the future, in conjunction with the fact that he's apparently been the only person to have ever done so, then Sir Nighteye should have seen countless more examples of the future being changed. You cannot operate under the impression that the future is set and then suddenly change the laws set by the show's universe to state "that the future actually can be changed, it's just really hard." It is either definite or indefinite, you cannot desanctify the rules you put forth just for a mediocre moment that reinforces how 'special' Midoriya is compared to literally the entire rest of the world.

Does it really need to be explained why letting a 6 year old girl who for all her childhood has been told she is cursed and manipulated to the point that she considers herself not worthy of being saved and is finally just starting to have some form of self-worth, to be used like a resuscitation equipment where the higher probability is that the person who she is using her quirk on will end up dying because of it in front of her, is a bad idea. I mean seriously this is almost as sadistic as Overhaul, at least he didn't constantly make Eri watch as her quirk killed off people even if they were already going to die.
This being done after Eri has gone through a lot of therapy and is old enough to understand the situation is something that I can understand but now where she is basically just feeling like she has escaped hell making her go through this would basically be the nail in the coffin for her sanity and psyche.

This is all your headcannon btw. The anime never stated this reason as to why they don't use Eri to revive Nighteye. Nice try though for trying to cover up shit writing.

But of course Aizawa could stand there and shut off her power just like he did with Deku. Of course it's a gamble but some chance is better than no chance.
Don't even know why I'm arguing, this whole arc was pointless Deku and Mirio should have saved her the first time they met and if Nighteye was at all a brilliant strategist he would have had Uravity at the front of the attack so he she could float Overhaul in the air and completely negate his powers.

But if your just gonna have aizawa stop here then why try? Then your just gonna force her to watch nighteye’s die and fail to do anything about it? And also you know she’s unconscious right now

Bruh this is not just a I lose a bit of my money gamble. This is a if it fails we permanently scar a person who is already terribly traumatized gamble when the probability of failure is much higher. And again even with aizawa negating her, we have already been shown that Eri's power can range to the point that she rewound her father to nothing when he just reached for her. I mean it could rewind all of deku's injuries while he was still having it and also overpower him to hurt him further around the end, at that condition Aizawa could be too late to stop her before her quirk ends up killing.
Also about Mirio and Deku saving her when they first met her, at that time they didn't know what Overhaul's quirk was or whether or not he was actually doing something. There are more chances that both of them or one of them would have ended up dead. And also about how Uravity should have been in the front lines to fight overhaul, Uraraka is my favorite character and I talk about how Horikoshi constantly keeps her out of the story because of how easy to deal with villains because of her quirk but this isn't one of those times. Uraraka's main limitation is that she has to touch someone to activate her quirk, so to make her go against a person who can disintegrate her on touch and has reflexes good enough to take on Rappa is in no way a good strategy.

I actually got teary eyed when Nighteye died, like when he told Mirio he would be a hero and the Nighteyes eyes went blank, like that shit hurted :( I wasn't actually crying, just a lump in my throat and tears in my eyes, but I still felt like shit

Also Shigaraki and Overhauls confrontation… whoaaaa that was tense as fuck. For some reason it even made me feel bad for Overall, but he deserved everything he got. What he did to Eri was pure evil. But I really loved that scene this episode.

Like, uhhh man... Overhauls facial expression says it all...
JUST realised... now it means he cant "reassemble" the boss guy of the Yakusa, who to him is basically his father figure... fuckkkkkkk

Your headcanon is headcanon simply because it is what you think not what the author intended i.e non-canon. The author sure spoon fed us why Eri is being quarantined and with the amount of spoonfeeding in this anime, one would think that such an important issue would be spoonfed. But, suddenly the author decides not to do that ? We already got an explanation. No need of your headcannon. Nice try though.

You are just refusing what the author presented and deep down you want to believe your headcannon as the truth, because the canon explanation we got was plot convenience.

It's not someone's headcannon, I think the explanation as to why they don't use her is, like you said, explained by the author. And there's also something called common sense and decency. I would too, refuse to use her quirk in such a situation. Something that clearly doesn't need writing!!

You except people to suddenly use a traumatised child who has suffered abuse, along with an unstable quirk and as we saw this episode her health isn't exactly great...to then use her on someone who is so severely wounded that they're dying. Which as stated her quirk shouldn't be relied upon, so there is a high chance she would fail. Besides, she's currently in no fit state to do anything so the argument to use her power is invalid anyway.

The girl finally found a bit of hope, hence why she jumped towards Deku, to then be used by heroes the same way she was treated before?

That kind of decision making is scary and the reason we have problems in the world. Think it through a bit, just because you can doesn't mean you always should.

What's the point of a 100% One for All punch if the most you can do is to make villains go unconscious for a while?...

And by the way, Shigaraki mocking Overhaul made me want to punch him. Do I need to remind you about all your villainous failed attempts? He's still a joke and all this "wow, Tomura is so savage" thing made me miss Stain even more now.

Overall, decent episode but it could have been better. At least, the scene with Nighteye dying and Mirio crying was handled in a quite satisfactory way.

P.S.: "Kero Kero-san"... lol.

They are supposed to be this pathetic in order to mirror A-1's journey to become heroes, so they are going to be more threatening in the future.

Well, I feel this was the best episode of the arc. The emotional weight was alright (although I don't give a flying about Nighteye and he died like a fodder to be honest) but the scene was really good. I just hope he was able to see Mirio saving a million people.
And I like to see Dabi. I have to be honest, he is one of the few edgy dudes that actually looks cool in these recent shonen. Also Shigaraki got a decent scene and I prefer seeing him without those stupid hands everywhere.

Damn Shigaraki that was savage

I liked Nighteye it would've been better to have the credits roll during his final moments then doing the preview right after that for a more emotional impact.

Great episode, some major feels in the last few minutes! It was good way to end the arc, and I love this arc but the pacing felt weird, too slow at times but then far too quickly in other parts. I mean the actual raid istelf took up 7 episodes, yet took a little over 24 hours in universe, which in in itself just invites a whole load of issues.

Theres a debate dominating this thread, enough for me to actually post something in a long while. I'm gonna go ahead and clear this up without spoiling too much: you're both wrong.

Keep watching and give it a chance to explain itself before you go dropping the series for this sole reason.

Uh, pretty sure it was left unstated. I'm pretty sure I'd have remembered that conversation.

"Hey, why don't we get this traumatised child to try and almost certainly fail to heal this dying man who's more than willing to lay down his life to preserve her happiness and mental well-being?"

"Plot convenience."

"Gotcha."

(Also, if she had done that, we'd be seeing everyone complaining that now there were no stakes anymore since Eri could heal everyone with no issues. This fanbase is never happy.)

Um what? The one explanation we got was that they had to quarantine Eri since she doesn't know to control her power and suddenly has a fever now. But since Nighteye was gonna die anyway if nothing is done they should've tried to save him by using Eri's power. And that's how the author kept Eri from saving Nighteye. And it is plot convenience that Eri suddenly gets a fever and is unconscious.

No one thought of using Eri's rewind ability. Maybe bring up the morality of using Eri in her state then. But, this doesn't happen. This is your headcannon that you think that the characters think this way. Fun fact: fictional characters can't think for themselves. It's the writer who makes them think. Surprising I know. Lol.

I feel like Toga's personality is rubbing on Shigaraki

RIP Nighteye

Yay, for the first time the League of Villains actually accomplishes something.

The League of Villains are one of the most weightless, insignificant group of antagonists in any major shounen series. They do nothing and have no one remotely intimidating, Shigakari is a terrible villain, Dabi is just there to look cool , Toga's alright, and everyone else don't even look like they should be villains. They completely hoe'd overall when they'd get stomped by 100% midoriya too. I really hope they receive significant development that can potentially redeem themselves in my eyes because they're just so uninteresting and bland.

They are supposed to be this pathetic in order to mirror A-1's journey to become heroes, so they are going to be more threatening in the future.

Well, I feel this was the best episode of the arc. The emotional weight was alright (although I don't give a flying about Nighteye and he died like a fodder to be honest) but the scene was really good. I just hope he was able to see Mirio saving a million people.
And I like to see Dabi. I have to be honest, he is one of the few edgy dudes that actually looks cool in these recent shonen. Also Shigaraki got a decent scene and I prefer seeing him without those stupid hands everywhere.

That's good to know, I hope it's a great arc! I just didn't like how they were hyped up in the beginning of S3 then got 1tapped by Gran Torino. It's cool to hear they'll get stronger. I agree with the hands thing too, looks a little ridiculous and undermines his appearance, makes him look like he's dressing up for Halloween lmao.

I think the scene was done very well, and I wasn't too emotionally invested in Nighteye since he was only here for a short amount of time, but I felt for Mirio and I loved how they kept mentioning their bond together.

The past two episodes have been the only I’ve loved of the whole season so far. Hopefully they can keep this up as before this it was very disappointing

Many partings this episode. RIP Nighteye. RIP Overhaul.
One lived to strive for a better future by avoiding his visions. One lived to bring forth a society where people like him could belong.
Though I knew this part of the Lemillion arc was coming, it was still too much to handle. Keep on striving for a better future. Plus Ultra!

When someone asks me why I like anime, I'd say Just Because.

fuck...
I can't believe that Nighteye is literally dead...
also what happened to Overhaul is so epic, by Shigaraki.

waiting for the next Episode!

Poor Nighteye!

Also, Overhaul was extremely misguided and used his powers for death, destruction, manipulation, etc. and deserved to be punished for it, but.... It left a bad taste in my mouth that it was SHIGARAKI who set the record straight! Ugh. I can't stand that guy lol

Oh my God, sooo sad...didn't expect Sir Nighteye will be gone forever. I know the damage was really heavy, but still didn't expect it. And I bet All Might will be really really sad and really disappoint with himself because he didn't have the opportunity to say hello again with his best supporter until his last time...I don't know what will happen in the future, but you can change it, no in real life we didn't know what will happen in the future but we can do our best to make it our way. Mirio will still become the same Mirio, with or without quirk, trust me...

Eraser Head was in real trouble when he was saved by Tamaki. Is it possible for the police officers to notice an ambush and not to call reinforcement, or they did but everything happened too fast, I don’t know, it just seemed weird that only 1 hero was present, and 3 vs. 1, I don’t know what Snatch was doing, he had no options. The pain caused by Shigaraki to Overhaul was awesome, I wasn’t expecting that from this mad guy, I’m not completely understanding Overhaul’s role, I just hope the character doesn’t ends here. And well, Nighteye died, honestly, he should’ve died like, in battle, but well, his death had no relevance for me, poor Mirio, Nighteye was such an important person for him.

The "Deku changed the future" thing was so cliche tbh. I'm sad for Nighteye but I was prepared for it back when he received that fatal damage. What truly shocked me was the Overhaul scene, I didn't see that coming at all. Villains be villains. Shigaraki sucks as always.

True dat but I guess he was too exhausted to do anything? idk maybe some broken bones from the fight..

he can still use his Quirk even if his hands are broken, this is the one nerf in manga/anime that never made sense lol.

overhaul needs of his hands to uses his quirk so without them he can't use it, just think a little

my guy 🤣🤣🤣 what's stopping him from using it when he had them? Nothing idk why he didn't use it other then Horikoshi wanting Overhaul out of the picture lol.

I don't get why he can't use his quirk anymore without his hands.. I mean he was able to do so in the fight restoring himself.. Or this is just a plothole

Normally he shouldn't be able to use his quirk without touching things with his hands.

However, you should consider that Overhaul fused with Rikiya who was under the effects of quirk enhancing drug. So when Rikiya was absorbed, the drug was also enhencing Overhaul. I'm asuming that when League of Villains got to him,it's effects already weared off and he was back to normal.

Last week it took the second viewing to like the episode better. I was uneasy with it at first but after a while I grew to like it, but I don't feel the same with this episode.

It felt a bit too over the place for me, and that too much was being rammed into a single episode which ended with me feeling not much upon the episode end. It seemed a little confused as to what it was going for and ended up drubbing what should be some greater scenes.

Hate to say it but not even the death of Nighteye made me feel much, and the animation felt a bit below par with some off-putting frames. Sadly not the best episode there's been for a while but probably not the most popular opinion I have.

I swear, all the people screaming about how Eri's power would make her a plot device that would nullify all tension and yet when that doesn't happen here are people screaming for her to essentially be a plot device to nullify tension against all logic.

We have reached that point where the fandom is just full of people who want to do nothing but complain. Sad but true.

I used to be a watchmaker.

Definitely the darkest arc so far. I didn't think this show would ever be able to become this dark but boy was I wrong.

nah if Overhaul used the drug i would think it would make his Quirk way stronger then what we've seen.

It was much stronger tho. He was using it on a bigger scale and without touching the objects.
