Holy shit, the despair on Twice's face...that's terrible. And honestly, I'm not surprised to see him that way after what happened to Toga. She's one of the characters that is closest to him.

This episode felt like a character study of Twice. In different ways, this episode was sad, dramatic, and dark all the same time. Also got to see some of the other villains' roles like Shigaraki, Dabi, etc.

Twice was the most entertaining part of the episode though.

Amazing, just amazing, the tone of this arc is complete opposite of what MHA was. Twice can now take over the whole country. Excited for next week's episode.

Twice's backstory of a physical and mental trauma of cognition gone crazy...DAMN. His sanity of which Toga has made a symbol for him, to remove that would mean nothing but insanity for this villain, who is fighting against Skeptic and his Quirk like Twice to save Toga

The slippery slope for Twice, formerly known as Jin Bubaigawara, with no family and no backbone and relying on his Double Quirk to do more heinous stuff, finding Giran was his salvation.

Twice truly went Unlimited Twice Works with Sad's Man Parade, while the rest of the League of Villains get the unexpected helping hand with THAT many Twice replicas against the Meta Liberation Army, which their numbers aren't as many, but powerful enough to hold them back. Gigantomachia is also on his way, though it would take him sometime to reach the city.

Twice and his copies of Shigaraki, Dabi and Mr. Compress against Re-Destro, and the latter is quietly as powerful as his words suggest. Such an eye-watering episode, and it's time for Re-Destro to face against the true men in name.

I should start reading MHA: Vigilantes soon.

Ok this is the first episode of mva arc where they did not skip anything. They did justice to twice backstory. I also hope they give justice to the rest of the chapters.
In terms of animation it was a lot better than last week. There are less still images.
I can see some people blaming on manga readers for hyping this arc too much. All I would say for them is the anime butchered the introduction to this arc. The way it was introduced in the manga was much better and I say it again that people should read at least the first 4 chapters of this arc.


Also the preview looks promising.....

“ Sad Man’s Paradise “ what a perfect name for this episode. I really like how Twice’s cares about his friends and his backstory hits hard especially with the OST. Looks like Gigantomachia is about destroy everything. Looks like Next episode will go craaazzzy!

Amazing episode. Twice showing just how powerful he really is once his mental shackles are broken off. The anime did a really good job this episode shoeing the frenetic ability Twice has with his quirk. Unleashing basically an army of doubles to fight against all the meta liberation members surrounding them. Him seeing Toga almost killed and feeling that pain made him realize he's not as broken as he thought. Twice saw his friends in trouble, the only real friends he's ever had. We see some more of his backstory like how when he was younger everyone turned their backs on him so he just fell deeper and deeper into darkness. Just like we saw last episode with Toga it's another case of someone falling through the cracks in a society. Twice was horribly neglected so he just sought a kickback easy life for himself and his clones. Until that fateful day we saw in his backstory last season where the clones killed themselves and he meet Giran whom then introduced Twice to the League. Its really sad seeing Twice suffer so much but that makes the moment he overcomes all the more powerful! Twice now sees himself for how strong he really is, he's not a clone who's fragile and will disappear. Letting him now be able to create hundreds if not thousands of clones to rampage in the city evening the odds a bit. Along with the doctor sending Gigantomachia a little early to help out since Shigaraki seems to be laughing behind. Speaking of shiggy he's finally reaching ReDestro up in his tower. Twice helping him get there he can confront ReDestro one on one at last. Whom speaking about the mother of quirks reshaping how society viewed meta abilities. Leading to the old Destro to start his movement, which now his son ReDestro wants to restart. Shigaraki tries his best to fight the morphed monster that ReDestro is until the real one down below can disintegrate the tower leading to next episode with the big boss fight confrontation!!! Man next week is gonna be a good one.

Hell yeah, Unlimited Twice Works!! Twice has always been one of my favorite MHA characters so it was great to see his episode be adapted so well. His Quirk is no joke and when he pops off you better be careful.

From an adaptation standpoint, this was by far, easily, the best-adapted episode of MVA. They finally didn't skip anything. I guess they sacrificed some of the earlier episodes so that the later parts of this arc would be better. Hopefully the rest of the season can be like this episode, especially next episode with Shiggy's backstory. The preview looked promising so fingers crossed.

They already adapted the hawks stuff during episode 102.

Oops yeah I forgot about that lol.

Great episode. Arc is a downer, but loved Twice this episode!! Still can't understand why didn't shigaraki's double just touch re-destero in 19:14 when his Hand was out of the window. (For a long time too btw)

This episode is my favourite so far and not just in season 5 ,if done properly the next episode will take that spot.
The animation this episode was amazing there were still frames but that's something all anime do.
Small bit of shigaraki clone vs redestro reminded me of todo vs Yuji . Also redestro's moves were amazingly animated although I had hoped for the last scene they would've gone with a more detailed version coz that panel in the manga is one of my favourites .

It was one of the most anticipated moment of this season, Twice Army. Their numbers have no limit whatsoever.
We also got a glimpse of Re Destero's power, and now next week Shigaraki's past will be opened up. It will be even more interesting.

A Decent episode once again. I enjoyed Twice's personality and quite a lot of action in this episode. I like his so many different personalities at the same time. Shadow Clones at its best. The Liberation Army is pretty strong themselves. They're not to be taken lightly by any means.

More action coming in the next episode.

Wow, Twice got his power up. He also reminded me of the cum villain from OnePunch Man haaskjaha
>I got through it with love and courage. What a great line

Well, the story of the liberation army has been explained to us. I think the name could be improved, even Destro 2 is better than Re-Destro xd
Ok episode, nothing too spectacular so far

This episode flew by! Twice the MVP this week as he managed to protect Toga and some other of the League of Villains.

Shigaraki crumbling down that tower was pretty epic not gonna lie. Seems we'll cover his past next week. Surprisingly good arc so far.

I really enjoyed this episode. Twice's back story was a rather gloomy and sad one, which makes it understandable as to why he's what he is now, but his power-up came in clutch for his team, as well as saving Toga from any further harm.

Also, his power-up did mean we got to his his funny catchphrases and remarks during the league of villain's comeback against the liberation army, especially his "love and courage" line. XD

Also thanks to him, he gave Shigaraki the chance to finally destroy the tower, which has given him a proper one versus one fight against Re-Destro. I'm expecting some good fight scenes in the next episode, as well as a look to his origin story, too.

As usual hearing the legendary Tomokazu Sugita embracing another interesting role is quite a treat. ✨

Very nice episode for Twice-chan, reminds me of a very eccentric version of Tajū Kage Bunshin no Jutsu.

Is this bad that I agree with Re-Destro?


It's very understandable to some degree at the very least, reminds me of the clashing philosophies of X-Men's Prof. Xavier vs Magneto.

Even in real life too now that I think about it: a quick peek into mankind's history shows how people in the past have treated other people horribly merely for possessing supposedly 'non-ideal' traits or for being different in general, either revolutionary ideas that go against the 'elite' of that particular time or straight up witch-hunting people for superstitious reasons. Excessive group-thinking combined with fear is usually a nasty combination.

They shafted Spinner and messed up the introduction to the arc, but the last two episodes Toga and Twice's was fantastic. They did Sad Man's Parade justice, ost placements and of course the songs themselves are also top notch. Knowing what happens next, can't wait for the next episode.

A lot of focus on Twice in this episode. Twice's backstory was pretty tough and, he seems to have leveled up all from the power of love and courage. The preview for the next episode looked exciting. Definetely looking forward to seeing more shigaraki action.

Damn Twice sure has been through a lot. Well now he doesn't doubt himself anymore and can use his powers to it's full extent.

Toga is still unconscious.

Dabi is struggling against the ice user.

Shigaraki with the decay though! It's as if his quirk can decay anything and can even spread to some extent now. Is it because of the experiment he went through?

Anyway it was a decent episode.

Glad that Twice's backstory was well done, a very good episode. The CGI felt a bit off but Twice's rage was incredible. Pretty hilarious how he could have done everything by himself. Shigaraki vs Re-destro with a bit of backstory.
