| We're near the end of the MVA arc. Re-Destro against Shigaraki but most of the episode went to his backstory which was done pretty well. Shigaraki wanted to become a hero but instead turned into a monster after he manifested his quirk. I mean, after seeing that. You wouldn't feel bad for him but be scared of him. A quirk like that will never become a quirk to save people. Anyway, Spinner's backstory was alright, not mucht to say. The artstyle in the first half of the episode felt a bit lacky but it turned out pretty good near the end. It's time for Giganto to destroy everything. |

Dukino said: shane_nichols said: Yeah. And it was umderwhelming. Why does it always have to be a tragedy that makes villains go nuts, its just so overdone... Because that's how real life works. People have messed up childhoods and they become messed up adults. Consider yourself lucky and privileged to have a good childhood You can still be insane even with a perfectly good childhood. Consider yourself lucky and privileged to have not met such people. |

ScottMerica said: Thanks for mentioning the OSTs I’ve been looking for “ I Don’t Kill My Friends ” OST for about 1 hour now lol.Well damn, best episode of the season by far. First half was pretty good, with some decent animation despite the art not being all that great. It's when we got to Shiggy's backstory that I got completely absorbed, with that last scene where he loses control of his quirk being one of my favorite scenes in the entire show. Feel so bad for him, and I was surprised by how they made us empathize with his abusive dad too. OST was on point too, with Symbol of Fear and I Don't Kill my Friends being used expertly. Overall, yeah I wish the art were a bit better, but other than that this was a 10/10 episode. |

UnBouquetin said: Daryllkun said: you're seeing it in a teenager/adult perspective, of course you would think that it isn't enough to be crazy but for a child it is. And I'm pretty sure his dad did a lot of things to him both verbally and physically off-screen, you really want to see it and how many times he did it just to know if it's enough to make a kid go crazy? Also accidentally killing a dog and your sister is enough to make someone go crazy unless they aren't a human. Bro what? They were not justifying the murder of a whole family, you really miss the point of his backstory. His dream was to become a hero, of course, he would refuse to follow his dad's rule or anything because that is what he wants. Would you really stop achieving or doing your dream because someone said you shouldn't, if yes then you're weak and pathetic. Thanks for unnecessary verbal attack at the end. The "follow your dream" is just delusional and telling anyone this even though you don't even have a quirk ( his quirk wasn't awakened yet) is just harming you by making you continue on a road without any future. About what his father did, the only thing that were showed is making his kid going to the corner each time he talks about heroes, nothing else. His father even says that he went too far the last time when he cuffed shigaraki. Unless the vn/manga shows more, his father never physically abused of his son minus the last time. And, don't tell you never got punished by your parents in your life. Did you never get scolded because you didn't follow a house rule ? Because you sneaked up at 3 am to play games? Or because you ended up with a terrible grade at school? It's the same thing. You get scolded because you don't follow the house rules. Also, it's not killing the dog and his sister that made him crazy. If you pay attention enough, he says "I hate them all" before killing his dog. He accidentally activates his quirk BECAUSE he became mad. He just refused to see the truth in front of him and put the blame on a mysterious villain (kinda like Kazutora in Tokyo revengers). He even felt pleasure killing his dad... Yes he had a sad life, but I won't be ever be able to feel bad for Shigaraki because of what he did and still do now. Anyways, some people pointed out that the goal of the episode was to make us scared of Shigaraki which I agree. wow this dude really defending the dad's action. what kind of house rule is never talk about heroes, it's like ruining someone's childhood, when I was a child I am very fan of heroes especially superman and spiderman, if I ever got that kind of house rule, I would be really sad, mad, and might even go crazy who knows. Also, I know that the dog and her sister were not the reason why he goes crazy, I just assume that's what you thought, so I just thought of a counter for it. Also, that wasn't a verbal attack unless your answer for that question is yes lmao[/quote] You know that super heroes are just one topic ? Like there's thousands of other things a kid of his age can appreciate : cars, policemen, firemen, space, detective stories, pirates etc... Nobody's going to go crazy because you can't talk about super heroes. Also, his dad just refrains him from talking about heroes. If you remember, shigaraki still played with friends the super hero things. He could also just like not get caught by not saying "I wanna be a hero" every second and being a bit more discreet when he's going to play. I did lots of sneaky things when I was younger, got caught sometimes and go scuffed everytime. Did I get mad because of it? No. Look at his sister. She wants to be a hero too, but she uses her brain and doesn't make it apparent. And it's not like she's 10 years older than him. They have at max 1-2 years of difference so their intellect should be similar.[/quote]not everyone is like you, not everyone is like shigaraki's sister, eveyone has different sensitivity and way of thinking. If i remember correctly, shigaraki was 5 and her sister was 6, even though it only has a one year gap, 6 years old is much more mature than a 5 years old, there's a reason why we start grade one at age 6 not age 5. |

| Oh yes My Villain Accademia is more interesting than My Hero Academia |
| ahhh, I'm just satisfied that they are willing to show bloods and the body parts, despite fears from the japanese TV peeps........ Not requesting anything more....... it defo relived & reminded me, the 1st feeling when i read that manga chapter |
This frame is so sad. A mom trying to protect her child even in a moment like this(at least it's what it looks like to me), heartbreaking. This episode was extreme, damn. Tomura being a kid couldn't understand the reasons to why his family acted like that, he thought everyone hated him even if that wasn't really the case. I think we can all agree that the bad guy here is actually his father with that dumb rule, this wouldn't have happened if he wasn't so harsh to his family, though the fact that no one really used to protect Tomura(maybe because they were scared of the father) was also something that influenced the hatred Tomura started developing to his family. |
  SEIBAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA |
Dukino said: By the time they all realized their mistakes it was far too late, Tenko had already awoken to his mutation of a quirk and couldn't hold back his rage any longer. this was the saddest part, they were so close |
| What a brutal episode! ( ∩╹□╹∩) It was such a sad backstory and the poor dog! (T﹏T`) |
 |
| What a tradegy, a powerfull and utter sad backstory. The music during the scenes was so strong. Last week's episode and this one are on another level compared to the rest. |

While I wouldn't go so far as to blame Nana for obvious reasons, it is interesting how her decisions as a hero have had ripple effects with devastating consequences. Her leaving Shigaraki's dad caused his hatred towards heroes, which in turn clashed with Shigaraki's upbringing and led to what we saw. This is due more to Horikoshi's writing than the adaptation itself as there has been some frustrating elements, but these past few episodes have made the hero world so much more nuanced in such a short amount of time. Like the history of the term "Quirk", how the government may be controlling meta abilities in a bad way despite many heroes' good intentions, and how a society reliant on heroes can leave people like Shigaraki to rot. |

shane_nichols said: Dukino said: wait killing ur whole family because ur dads an asshole? Lol I dont think thats realism. LolBecause that's how real life works. People have messed up childhoods and they become messed up adults. Consider yourself lucky and privileged to have a good childhood You never heard of crime like killing his own family like that? What world you're living right now? |

| Damn, Shigaraki's past was pretty damn harsh. Shigaraki was so innocent as a child. It's too bad that his family never truly understood him. Man, Shigaraki's family is just a chain reaction of terrible events. I mean, sure, his father does have reason to do this due to his past, but damn, it's just so sad. Shigaraki had the potential to become a great hero. |

| They literally did a good job with Shigaraki's origin so far. Like damn dude. What a freaking blast. There was censorship, and that was inevitable. I can see so many discussions and comments this is all pathetic or so. Well all I can say is. Unless you have been watching or watched a lot of series. A lot of elements of writing similar or not has always been reused. |
| damnn. Really painful to watch tomura backstory tho but best episode of season 5 so far imo. |
 |
| wow.... whatta tragic backstory he got there |
| I used to really like this anime S1 and some of S2. Now its a confused piece of idk what to call it anymore |

UnBouquetin said: The episode was ok i guess, even underwhelming for me. The attempt by the author to make us feel bad about shigaraki's story is disgusting. Ok he had a harsh life, but it was because he refused to comply with the only rule of the family. Correct me if I'm wrong but his dad only cuffed him once in his life and it's enough to make the kid go crazy? You can't and shouldn't try to justify the murder of a whole family by just being punished to go to the corner. Hope it'll get better next episode. This is one of the funniest comments I've seen on this site |
| damn this episode was so good, 9/10 for this episode |
