Star and Stripe, I wish I could see her more. She should have been introduced much earlier. In only two episodes of screen time, I loved her

It was written all over the place that Star and Stripes wouldn't defeat Shigaraki, but the twist that New Order acts as poison is very cool. Now the playfiled has leveled, and our heroes have a fighting chance.

I only watched last saturday's episode today because of a lot of work, but I will try to watch the next one as soon as possible. Seems our invisible girl was de villan we all knew all along.

I really hate that we didn't get more time with Star and Stripe. I wanted to see how she might interact with the main cast and meet all might again. Maybe the author didnt want to take all the attention away from the students.

Other than that, it was a great episode.

Wasted potential, two filler episodes 🤷🏻‍♂️
I mean, for God's sake, you can't just introduce a powerful character in the last seconds of the last season and then off her in two episodes, half of the first cour of this season (6 episodes) should've been dedicated to stars and stripes

i'm sad that star and stripes lasted this low amount of epiosde, but she was so cool even in her last moments.
i loved the way shw utilized her quirk and the damage dealt to shigaraki, a very cool fight.

@phantom346 Well, most people's quirks are like, turn root beer into diet root beer, sharpen pencils in your nose. Whatever. Most of the population doesn't have quirks like the ones in the top hero school in the country. Remember that Sero Elbow Tape Hanta is a top hero contender compared to most people out there.

About the episode, I loved Star's death, man. Easy top death in the series for me. Her arc did seem quick, but she served her story purpose, and better a little quick than dragging out it past its welcome. I'm already wondering how they're going to do the final battle arc without it feeling really weirdly prolonged.

Well damn, I knew that Shigaraki was gonna win since it would be quite anticlimactic if Star was able to take him down right here and now. With that in mind, she went beyond, plus ultra with her last ditch effort. Instead of trying to preserve her body, she decided to impose one last rule to get rid of as many of Shigaraki’s quirks as possible, damaging him from the inside and giving the heroes one week to prepare.

Now it’s a matter of whether Deku can completely One For All in that time. It’s all up to him to end All For One, once and for all and it seems his entire class will be helping along the way.

The preview has me excited. Are we gonna learn about who the UA mole is?!

I didn't expect Shigaraki to be defeated that quickly, but I didn't expect Star to die, either.

She didn't get that much screen time. R.I.P. :(

And it seems that Shigaraki is going to take a lot more to kill. Glad the UA students are putting in their A game and preparing to take on the great evil.

Haha, character is introduced for two episodes, dies in them, and are we supposed to feel something for this half-arsed character?

I know the writer isn't good at backstories for hero characters, but this is a new lazy low for this series.

1/5, try harder.


I did find the Gay Force One of USA hilarious. I swear those army dudes were ready to start making out in front of the shitty hero Stripes. Also, 100% this character exists to pander to the American market. It's badly written like a hero from Marvel universe after-all.

Wow another character introduced just to die. Anyone with a sort of interesting quirk just dies in this show. And all that to set up ... more training episodes. This show worked better when Deku was a vigilante because there were themes being explored and the characters were being tested. Now we go back to same old same old

Star and Stripe felt like a character created because the story needed Shigaraki to be stopped for a while. The fight was cool, but I cannot help but think she's a character that came out of nowhere to act as a plot device.
@Illyricus That's exactly how I see it! This show feels like it's spinning on its heels, at least it looks good doing so...

I liked it over all but the art style is SO different from the previous seasons. Like what the heck? I kinda noticed from episode one but it was way more obvious in this episode. And I still don't get why they chose TK for the theme song. It doesn't mesh with MHA at all and it makes my ears bleed. Seriously, dude. can't. sing. Stop it. I mean, to his credit, the latter part of the song was ok but the beginning makes me cringe so bad.

I haven't read the manga so I didn't know Stars and Strips was so awesome! It's so sad that she got killed off so quickly but that was a pretty epic way to go out. Talk about going out with a bang! I bet All Might is proud of her. I'm kinda glad she died quickly only because I've already cried over enough characters dying in this anime and I know there are a few more I'ma be crying over later on because a friend spoiled it for me. Normally I watch episodes the day they're released unless I'm busy, but with MHA I've been intentionally letting the episodes build up because I'm afraid someone will die or almost die and then I gotta wait a whole week to know if they are gonna make or are perhaps not actually dead. I mean, it could be worse. Akame Ga Kill really got me man. Same with Attack on Titan, Death Note and some other great anime that killed off characters I liked.

I love MHA and it's one of my favorite anime, but the animation in this season in particular is really gonna make it hard for me to watch. At least I can skip the opening song, but the crappy art style is throughout. It makes me really nervous for season 8 which will probably be the final season. It'll be bittersweet to see it end. I hope they do it justice. Please, if we could get Madhouse at least for the final season. Please! That would be amazing

Yes. It made me happy. It would have been nice to see him panic a bit more but perhaps he will later on. I seriously can't stand him

Just some thoughts after watching the episode.

Personally, I can see the author's reasoning for her role in the overall plot. Generally, the focus would be on our main characters in Japan. But All for One has become such a global threat it would be stupid to not even mention the heroes around the world.

This fight gave people the chance to see the strength of the current world No.1, who though sacrificed herself, managed to avoid her quirk being misused, AND at the same time, deal a huge blow to Shigaraki's overpowered number of quirks (which was starting to feel ridiculous tbh).

Star's fight covered the possible future plot hole of why the rest of the world's heroes don't show up to help (something i sometimes wonder with these kinda hero vs world-dominating villain series), and put our Japanese main heroes back in the spotlight with a better fighting chance.

Do I wish we could've seen more of Star and Stripe and that insane quirk New Order? Hell yeah. Was Shigaraki saved by thick plot armor? Definitely. But she died a hero's death and became a decently memorable character in just 2 episodes. More so than some of the pro heroes that appeared in the series so far.

That was the worst hyped character introduction I've ever seen. "The strongest woman in the world"... dies after two episodes. Last episode I thought the worst outcome would be for our bullshit antagonist Shigaraki to kill her and get away with it, just awful.

You mean to tell me America’s #1 hero, Star and Stripe, didn’t even last two episodes!? Preposterous America!!!! That death could have been avoided!! But anything to escalate the plot even by just a little. We have to see just how OP Shigaraki, no All for One has become.

Even though I’m against her death, The UNO Reverse that she put into effect when her quirk got absorbed was a nice play.

Even though she couldn't defeat Shigaraki, she did destroy a lot of his quirks, which is very impressive. The 2nd All Might student death after Mirai Sasaki.

Star is a strong female character that isn't sexualized, so of course she gets axed instantly.
Seriously, I like this show, but I have yet to see them write a single female character properly (Uraraka had so much potential dammit)

Also, this is separate from the writing issue, but Star was voiced by Romi Park, one of the most amazing VAs out there!! How dare you only give two episodes to one of the best actors in your cast??

Obviously shiggy ultimately won due to plot and Star was just used as a plot device to nerf ShiggyAFO. Him surviving the Nuke by burying himself in a hole itself was dumb but it is what it is. He now has less quirks and wasn't able to retain New Order. Time for the Jap heroes to get back on the grind.

She had so much potential bro. So many female characters in this show have potential but they barely get to show it and if they do get it then it's botched just like the


Animation is kinda picking up.
