This episode hit me in the feels. =(

With the injuries that Nighteye sustained during the fight against Chisaki, it was understandable that the hospital and even the likes of Recovery Girl couldn't do anything to prevent him from dying. Just seeing Bubble girl sobbing uncontrollably, Mirio and Deku shedding tears and even All Might tearing up himself, along with the sad OST, made this scene very powerful.

RIP Nighteye. =(

As for Chisaki, although he was detained, it didn't take long for Shigaraki's group to find his prison van and made their move to take the quirk-destroying bullets for themselves. Shigaraki's face got very psychotic as he savagely taunted Chisaki for his failure and, in a way, this humiliation Chisaki got here was VERY deserved.

Great episode overall and I look forward to seeing what the next arc has in store for Deku and the other heroes.

Introducing Eri and her power, which makes all wounds irrelevant, and then ignoring it ("but but BS reasons why she can't" pfffft don't even try to argue that crap) for the cheap emotional death completely ruins this whole season for me. And honestly the show since she can also heal All Might so even Deku becomes pointless. Eri is just really jumping the shark for me, oh well lots of other shows to enjoy.


True. Such plot convenience. Hey look she has a fever now all of a sudden. Hey look, Nighteye is almost dead, we should not let Eri rewind him even though there is nothing to lose. I mean what's the risk? If Eri fails, Nighteye dies, but there's a chance he doesn't. He was going to die anyway so why not give it a shot? Dunno, sounds like a copout to me.

As nice as Nighteye's theory of energy was, don't you think that the reason the future was changed could have been because of Eri's power.
It reverses time for people, so that could have changed the future in Nighteye's vision, as both their powers are time-related.


Don't hold your breath. Most probably, Nighteye's theory is the author's way of explaining the future-change. So, yeah another cliche explanation also known as Power of Friendship.

Can anyone explain why the fight sequence with Overhaul changed in the recap? Was it really just so that they could pretend Deku thought of how to minimize collateral damage during the fight?
That was actually how the fight was originally displayed in the Manga as well as showing how the initial 100% was causing enough wind pressure to cause damage to surrounding houses. Maybe they wanted to show that so Nejire praising Deku later actually made sense.

Overhaul got his karma already. The second half was painful to watch, btw. R.I.P. Nighteye.

What's stopping Overhaul from using his Quirk? last time i checked Mha doesn't have seastone handcuffs. Mirio nerf made sense but Overhual nerf never made any sense to me.

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

Welp Night Eyes dead. No fucking rewind for you because Erichan cant control her quirk and that she's under quarantine, which is just an excuse to explain the bullshit plot armor of last weeks episode. Nah. All they had to do was RIP that point thing out of his chest and bam! All better. Same with everyone else. Looks like recovery girl can retire from her job cause they have someone better. Just rewind everyone's injuries and they're fine. Fake feels. Oh and Bones really fucked up the first half. Manga was so much better and more violent. This arc was dogshit.

Not gonna lie, I love what Shigaraki did to Overhaul. He fucking deserved it for what he did to Eri and everyone else.

I didn't cry when Nighteye died in the manga or this Anime adaptation but I felt sorry for him and a sadness. I feel like Nighteye, despite loving humor, lived his life with constant trepidation due to the nature of his quirk. Although Deku changed that, I wish he could've lived longer.

This was one of my favorite arcs in the series.

One narrative I am really surprised to see is "why not let Eri heal Nighteye anyways?" I mean people not understanding the repercussions of her quirk and making this assumption is something I can understand but it seems to be coming from people who completely understand her quirk and their logic is "he is going to die anyway so why not let Eri try?"
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.

Still like the arc, still hate the ending. Completely tossing Overhaul for Shigaraki remains as big a mistake as it originally was. Shigaraki is joke (there's a joke about him being a poorman's joker in there somewhere) of a villain. I won't say a bad ending for Overhaul doesn't make sense since Shigaraki is obviously the main villain, but that doesn't make him any better a villain or this any better a manner to end things.

I know it's supposed to be a sad and emotional episode, but I really didn't feel anything.

We didn't even have the opportunity/time to get attached to him, so I couldn't really feel sad for him.

It seems more emotional in the manga, because the story is developed slower.

This was quite an emotional episode after a very savage start. Shigaraki and his men punishing Overhaul like that.. That was, pretty damn savage.. League of villains will now make their move.

There were a lot of injured during this raid, but damn.. What I was dreading, did happen in the end..

Rest in peace Sir Nighteye. I wish you had more screentime to get to know you better as a character, but that wound was too severe :( way too soon

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.

Ah, man... that definitely made me shed a few tears! The part where Mirio came to Nighteye's bedside was the bit that got me; both those VA's did so well in that scene! I really hope that Nighteye's last vision for Mirio means that he'll be able to get his quirk back in the future.

I need to praise that scene where the League of Villains stole the serum and fucked Chisaki up too; soooo cool! Sometimes I forget how twisted Shiguraki is but that scene firmly reminded me!

im sure Overhaul can make his quirk back with the help of the science he got from Eri or Eri later will help him if the author decided to make Overhaul a hero lol because there is no point making Overhaul alive at this point knowing there is Eri in the plot anyway

can they also just preserve the dead body of Nighteye into a refrigerator cryogenesis style until Eri can rewind his body and make him alive again sometime in the future lol

Eri is the ultimate hax at this point

Good episode.

Shigaraki was absolutely savage, damn. Just casually intercepting the transport to put Overhaul in his place.

The post arc stuff was pretty sad and the Nighteye's final moments were emotional. :(

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

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.

I love how My Hero isn’t afraid of killing off characters to advance the plot.
The story could’ve easily worked so that Eri saves Nighteye, but this route was a more fitting one imo.



I was thinking the same, but losing a character in such an emotional way is able to make the story/anime better. Feeling sad can make a greater impact on the viewer, crying can just enhance our attachment.

Wow! today was a heavy episode.

I can't believe they actually let Nighteye die without try to use rewind power from Eri chan.

While the episode was really cool and they wrap things up, the death of Nighteye came really heavy, which makes for a very memorable episode.

I really hope they can some how use Eri's power to heal Almight and maybe revive Nighteyee.

wth heroes are useless, where they at? don't even bother sending a better unit to defend the transport truck. Overhaul still have the ability to revert the yakuza old man back from the coma. Is this how they transport an enemy boss?

Deku is still a kid like always acting so caring but an airhead. Nighteye has a stone pierce through his body, the medical teams are in a rush to bring him in a hospital where every second count and yet this Diku gotta butt in to express his sympathy.

RIP Nighteye and to Mirio who just lost his teacher.

Deku this Deku that, Mirio is in more pain than Deku breh

I heard people are saying this is the last arc where you will see Mirio. RIP to sidechara

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.)

that's a worse punishment than death tbh. i wouldn't subject that to anyone.
to those who said overhaul deserves this... think about the effect this can have on other people. without overhaul's quirk, no one can turn his boss (the grandpa) back to health. and the nice grandpa did nothing wrong to deserve being like this for the rest of his life.

Dam this was a powerful episode. Im glad they spent a long time on the hospital part and made it slow. He went out just like his hero, smiling.

This is the first proper death of hero we've seen. (As far as I can remember.) Just shows it can happen to the best of them. Normally you'd think he'd be fine since he didnt die in the battle itself and normally in shounen they just end up fine at the hospital but this shows the darker truth and did it really effectively.

Gonna be honest this arc wasnt as good as previous ones. Or at least it didnt bring the level of emotions previous ones did. But I guess after the One for all Vs All for One fight you'll be hard pressed to top it. The highlight of this arc is definitely NightEye. Sucks to see him go so soon.

Great episode, cant wait for Deku's next major fight. Rest in Peace, NightEye.

Great episode, I didn't expect it to be that emotional at the end, a tear or two were shed for Nighteye.

From what people say, a new arc starts next episode, so I can't wait for that, it's been ages since I've seen everyone at the academy.
