we all had one life, and you decide to use it by hating on one of the best arcs of the series. You will die, a forgotten waste of potential. That's why I don't get mad, just pity.

mha gets better after joint training arc, instead of going to get better but for you it's going to get worse since you didn't like mva. 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.

Horikoshi risked mha by making an arc without the protagonist, despite that people really like this arc because this arc takes a more mature and realistic approach in storytelling that is missing in most of the previous arcs. 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

You won't like things going further than. 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.

Take me back to the days before MAL became infested with Twitter's favorite buzzwords.

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.

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. =)

Great episode and saga, not excellent since the manga still managed to have a more fulfilling execution, but it's hard to completely ruin that particular saga, so I'm happy at least the final section was great and a saver for the whole season. Did they showed short flashback of a scene that wasn't adapted? When Tomura considered the Re-destro's offer, I find that funny for some reason, like maybe they actually animated some of those, but now thanks to the change it will forever stay in limbo.

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.

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

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)

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.

i might be the only one who's made the comparison but i see a lot of similarity between shigaraki and eri. eri was someone who was helped out of their cycle of abuse by heroes, however, while shigaraki was helped out of his with the help of villains.

Too bad they wasted so much time on him, everything could have been done in like 2 episodes, but sadly not. It just shows how badly written he is "i got ignored when I needed help so now I'm going to hurt innocent people", very good, very good.

I guess we already know Re-Destro wouldn't stand a chance defeating Tomura since he looked weaker against him. It was a tough fight! Re-Destro looks very energetic despite being handicapped, which is a good sign X) At least that!

Next week is the last episode, but I'm happy to know we will see Class 1-A before the closing this season TTwTT It's been a while!

I like where the series is at a lot more now than before this arc. The League (now Paranormal Liberation Front) actually seems like a threat instead of a nuisense that always got away somehow. It never made a lot of sense for the 2 sides to be fighting each other anyway.

Ehhh, I'm sure plenty of people disagree and I usually love the super evil bad guy too, but I really liked the idea of Shiguraki being a tragic character who was manipulated by A4O and molded into a super evil character. To me that would have been great, and left the door open for a mild redemption (although I know he'd definitely end up either going to jail or dying at some point). But no for some reason his dad was a jerk to him once even though he had a good family otherwise and he was happy with murdering them all for no reason, even though he was like 6 years old or whatever it was. Again I'm sure plenty of people disagree with me and like it this way, but this just feels to me like bad guy just because he's bad and it feels like a shallow motivation for why he's bad and was that way from the beginning. I'd much prefer a deep character that turns because of something and then slowly justifies why he's bad, as opposed to "Oh I just wanted to kill him and felt good about it". But he's still a badass character and the end of the season got a better for me thankfully. I love this show but for me 80% of the beginning was boring stuff and disappointing when I compare it to how amazing the other seasons were. The only stuff I loved was One For All flashbacks, the stuff about the Vestiges/New Powers and I liked a little bit of the stuff with Endeavor and trying to figure out what was best for his family. But for some reason this seasons school battles and stuff didn't do anything for me. Hopefully S6 carries the ending of this seasons momentum and we have some amazing stuff.

He is a complex character beacuse there are 2 sides to his inherit nature.
His grandmas side that makes him want to help people and be a hero and his quirk side that urges him to destroy.
Those 2 sides were at constant odds with each other and Shiggy had a hard time understanding what he actually feels and wants. This paired with his dads emotional abuse (it was more then just slapping, he was being punished for doing nothing wrong and kids understand when they are not in the wrong).
Also when you are 5 years old you dont think about the consequences as your brain isnt developed yet, you only react to your surraunding and execute any idea you get without thinking ahead.
So after his good side wasnt able to hold back his desteuctive urges and all went to shit, no one was there to guide him...other then AFO.
Now AFO installed his ideology inside a 5 year olds brain and in case you didnt know kids at that age are easily influenced by the nature and ideas of their guardians.
AFOs philosophy is that the point of living is fullfilling your own happiness and desires, which even tho twisted in Shiggys case is the correct mindset. However AFO made sure to kill the grandmas side of Shiggy which was preasent when Shiggy didnt want to kill his attackers at first.

Alright well from what I saw it made it seem like his family was good except for his dad, and yeah I guess 5 year olds Don't know, but still killing your family and being happy about it is pretty F'd even at 5. Most kids even if they were mad, afterwards they'd break down emotionally not feel better. Just wasn't the way I was hoping it would go is all, but I'm sure the Manga fleshes it out and I'd probably appreciate it a lot more.

I saw that but I thought that was a powers thing, he also said he felt good about it and was glad he killed him. "I wanted to kill him, watching my mother and the others crumble away made my heart feel lighter" I get being made at his dad but why would he be happy about killing them?


Either way, I just wish it went a different way so I'll probably never be happy with that situation, But I'm sure plenty of people love it and completely disagree with me.
