Just to clarify, Toga did use Deku's blood already. She used it back in season 4 to trick the hero's into helping Deku for a moment and making Overhaul's life harder.
I love Monoma's trash talk during this whole season. It really made him one of my favorite characters overall because imagine locking everyone in a cage with All for One but he also has Decay, and saying "aww, is the big bad boss guy having trouble using his quirks?" like he's insulting a little kid. And of course, the peak of his maniacal laugh at the beginning
It's so wholesome how the kids are so excited to have Shinso back, especially Ojiro, who, if you remember, was the first one wary of him and his power back in the Sports Festival. Here, he's excitedly wagging his tail. How nice. 😊 Edit: He also asks Shinso his Hero name, but we never get an answer. I jokingly suggested "Mind F***er" back in season five, but maybe something with "whisper" or "echo" in the name would work.
Guys!!! A new MHA Vigilantes anime has been announced to come out on april of next year, vigilantes (or MHA ílegals) is a prequel manga to the MHA story, i mentioned it in a comment of the last episode, hope you watch it too
You know what I realized? The heroes' plan to isolate and separate All For One and the rest of the League of Villains is EXACTLY what Muzan did with the Hashira and the rest of the Demon Slayer Corps in the latest episode of Demon Slayer!
It's less like Muzan plan and more like the League of Villains first plan at the USJ. Where the students were separeted and fought various villains. Only difference is that this time the heroes could prepare and create groups to fight the specific villains.
34:06 toga did use deku's blood back during the shie hassaikai raid to tell uraraka, tsu, and ryukyu to head underground where the real deku and overhaul were fighting
Monoma might be cocky, but we see her that he has a reason for that. His quirk might have a time limit, but being able to hold *multiple* quirks makes his powers a huge threat, and him someone that shouldn't be ignored.
*Thanks to Shinso and Monoma, the plan began super well! Well, aside from Toga. But I do think the plan to isolate the villains is a good one, especially after how the first war’s plan ended up turning out. Also, I’m concerned for Shigaraki if I'm being honest...* *I hope he’ll be okay...*
It's so cool to see so many characters come back and play a fundamental role in this war now no one is a back round character they've all got a part to play in ending this fight.
I know someone already brought this up, but for as great as this plan is on the heroes’ part, they definitely overlooked some of the finer details. Specifically with Toga, All for One, and Touya. We’ll eventually see why the plans with Touya and All for One kinda fall apart, but for now, I just find it surprising that nobody was searching for Toga and making sure she didn’t slip away, considering she’s kinda known to do that.
We'll have time to disagree about the match-ups for Dabi and All For One later, but what I'm curious about is how Toga was even able to grab Deku. We never saw her cage get opened, and unlike the rest of the League, she definitely doesn't have the power to do it herself. For a character and action that COMPLETELY screws up the heroes' plan, it would've felt less like a cop out for her to show up and steal him away.
@@HaydrogenBomb I think she slipped away since they weren’t keeping proper track of where she was. I’d say a lot of times the villains mess up the plan here is because the heroes didn’t properly account for them individually.
Although you can predict where some of the characters will come in, there's still some curveballs thrown at you. I stand by MHA having the best character development, everyone is getting their moment and proper ending to their story without so many getting left out
The heroes chose mainly locations that the big battles had occurred in before because there’s way less built structures in what has already been destroyed. (2 parter between setup/MVP’s for Troy system and field setup.) Kamino Ward’s United States of Smash crater to set the stage for Dabi vs Shoto and the Flamin Sidekickers, Gunga Villa’s ruins from the Liberation’s forces vs Team Edgeshot for AFO vs Endeavor and Hawks, Gang Orca’s aquarium at Okuto Island for Toga vs Uraraka and Tsu, the provisional license stadium for all sorts of random opponents and I think a few other fields not seen, the Troy field for the leftovers for Fat Gum and Aoyama, and of course the new home of UA’s main building. The coffin in the sky meant for AFS vs Deku and Bakugo. Deku is unfortunately yanked to the furthest field than what was intended. (And Toga yanking Deku away from the field is why I’m still pretty certain Endeavor still has Deku’s power outclassed for now) But we do get to show off how much of a technological marvel the coffin in the sky is. Between more layers of launching underground shields, an electric barrier charged by the electric students, and people like Best Jeanist yanking him clear off balance as materials get replaced by Power Loader, Cementoss, the support course and Momo who is getting fed by their school chef hero! (Momo being used here like this has such unlimited potential it makes me sad they didn’t realize she could’ve done this with the Support Course when helping people get their final equipment pieces made.) And one last MVP move. Monoma has Erasure copied for the 10 minutes and Manual’s help and has Aizawa covering what he can so blinks don’t overlap. We are getting EVERY last limiter on this that we can and HAD 75% Deku been here? Chances are this ACTUALLY could have gone smoothly. But AFS has ONE thing up his sleeve. His body has begun to transform free of a quirk. All this transforming we’ve been watching? This growth? NOT a quirk. And only SaS got a REALLY good look at it. And I’m betting this trump card was why it was ESSENTIAL that both AFO AND Shigaraki wanted her off the board entirely and not AFO leaving her alive to wallow. And that is where we are left for next one where teams and fights can be more thoroughly explored!
I'm confident that almost EVERYTHING that goes wrong from this point on is Toga's fault for pulling Deku away from the correct Warp Gate. I do love all the characters and pieces put together to make the Coffin in the Sky work. Yaoyarozu making materials for the Support Course while Lunch Rush keeps the lipids coming. Just like Hatsume and Melissa in the Team-Ups manga (they met, used Deku as as a testing dummy for various bits of gear, it was a whole thing), Hatsume and Yaoyarozu make a good team that I wish had gotten explored more. Kaminari and Manga (love his inclusion) join two others (one the third year who DEFINITELY isn't crushing on Nejire) in powering the barrier. And, or course, Monoma and Aizawa erasing Shigiraki's Quirks from the OUTSIDE of said barrier while Manual keeps Monoma's eyes hydrated (seems they learned their lesson from the first war about keeping Aizawa and Erasure safe). I think you're right; if Deku had gotten there as planned, things might have ACTUALLY gone fully right, for once. So much so that Horikoshi had to give Shigiraki an unexpected edge in this fight (you talked about Shinso and Monoma being or not being a deus ex machina, but I wonder what you'll say about Shigiraki).
@HaydrogenBomb I need to know how Toga caught Deku without activating danger scene!?!?? (Don't real answer that...) Like, my only guess is that there was no ill intent on from Toga's actions?
@@HaydrogenBomb I needless to say have an entire thing on AFS' divide by zero body for next episode. But I will say this. I do not consider this transforming body a deus ex machina even though it makes absolutely no sense at all in a show so grounded in reality. Between talks of the quirk singularity and how the body has to keep up with your quirk, how AFO has operated over the years, and if you ask the right questions, yeah Garaki had this set up from the get go, and this transformation is the true visual of AFS being completed and "stabilized" with what he was missing. This WAS set up properly. We always knew of the warning but didn't understand what Garaki was doing to counteract it. But I will get into the details of this on Thursday.
Monoma copy quirk needs support from others to be useful, he can't win in a 1 on 1 fight, first he needs to touch them to copy the quirk so if he fights a villein with a long range power he can't get close and if he does copy them the villein will know how to use their own power better then he can. So to be useful Monoma needs friends to copy from and time to Learn how to use his friends powers so by himself he can't do anything
Personally I like the new mask. Nothing was wrong with the old design but there’s also honestly nothing wrong with the new one either. Both are solid. AFO for as terrible as he is has a heck of a sense of style
24:32 so think back to the first season, Erasure doesn’t work on heteromorphic type quirks e.g. if the quirk has something to do with the physical augmentation of the body it can’t be erased. If you think about it Tokoyami only has a single quirk which is Dark Shadow but as you know he physically has a birds head, if erasure were used on Tokoyami only Dark Shadow would be erased not his physical appearance, in the same way that if your quirk was having 4 arms erasure wouldn’t cancel 2 of those arms. This means per the physical augmentation done to Shigaraki to make him suitable for the quirk AFO his physical form is now different to how it was
Yall need to be pro detectives or fortune tellers with how much yall predict and blindly investigate the future episodes before you watched them. Montana has nailed a lot of them throughout the series🤣
If you wanna know about what he did in the end with his hands that's not his quirk is like a mutation but it's artificial there only two people who can do that one artificial and one natural
The 2nd war has truly begun in earnest. Everyone is just throwing everything to the wind. And all hell is breaking loose. (2 parter to separate the episode and the full field setup for the season) We get to see a bit more of Eraser Head’s plan beforehand as the kids are debriefed and informed. Along with All-Might…looking like he’s learned how to massage as competently as Iida has learned how to not spazz his arms. (Which now that I think about it, hasn’t happened at all since the 1st war! Did he FINALLY get that nerve transplant surgery? That’s been such a long time coming! Wish we got confirmation. If he did that amps up his movement, flexibility, and just SO much more to have full body control again. Pretty much EVERY weakness Iida has is connected to not getting that surgery) Also Mina saying “He saw the light!” Reminds me of the Blues Brothers. “JESUS H CHRIST I HAVE SEEN THE LIGHT! I SEE IT. THE BAND, ELWOOD! We gotta get the BAND back together!” They discuss Aoyama’s double cross gambit. Bakugo’s descriptions of AFO have been A+ after A+ I swear. Momo wants to confirm that the Aoyama’s won’t be at risk since the descriptions that were given what happens for trying to get the police and heroes involved leads to GRUESOME outcomes. And All-Might describes what I can best say is one of AFO’s strangest systems. This whole call system with the lie detection quirk is honestly ridiculous to me. In my ongoing denial of Nezu not being a villain but is extremely incompetent instead at this point, one of my big points was saying to people how would AFO talk to the Aoyama’s? Would they just call him on the phone? “Hello? Mr Devil? How are you? I’d like to discuss some top secret treasonous things.” And just how ridiculous that sounds. And I said knowing AFO and his planning systems, he likely has a middle-man or several of them that speak to informants that would confirm intel on his behalf so AFO can never be tracked or seen in the wild without gaining access to one if not several of his middle-men which organized crime utilized PLENTY of. But then we see AFO getting directly involved AND taking the initiative where he could possibly be recorded or overheard, and while he has search and the lie detection quirk, he doesn’t have a way to confirm if camera’s or recording devices are nearby or on without lying being in play. And as he talks to the Aoyama’s as an “Uncle” even he just says this is ridiculous. So happy we agree AFO! You’ve only had 200 years to think of something less risky and more reliable as search wasn’t even available to be used til Bakugo’s amber alert and after you broke out! Sometimes your pawns SHOULD be upgraded to other pieces for special purposes you don’t want your hands on in the most beneficial places you can find footholds for your empire! The mob had the police, tow companies, casinos, horse racing, waste management, bars and restaurants, and other big establishments for “legitimate” business. And they even implied AFO was a CEO at one point in his empire. (They kept showing a skyscraper draped in red sky in his early appearances before they found him in the Nomu storage in season 3.) Apparently none of the options available for what could be built from that are in play and he’ll just call you over the phone with direct demands or slightly coded without “free” movement. So a rare missed opportunity for how AFO operates. (Yes I know organized crime has been dismantled in Japan but Garaki had a VAST network right under everyone’s nose. I don’t think Garaki was all AFO had left to have this many informants this fast after breaking out.) Shinso comes in to overcome AFO’s informant system. And the kids ARE hyped but cautious about what opens up. Shinso’s presence always breaks up team communication, but that’s not helpful when the enemy isn’t present. But Shinso ALSO has a running gag of finding the exact right power up immediately AFTER a big confrontation. He only learned that you don’t need to speak to him directly and just any acknowledgement at all works AFTER getting tossed out of the ring by Deku in season 2, and after giving us the ins and outs he worked out in season 5, we are getting more into how he operates WITH brainwashing while Season 5 mainly consisted of him stopping people in their tracks and trying to physically keep up with the kids. Getting to talk through brainwashing to filter out intention is a very odd and specific thing to figure out. He still can’t force them to provide info they have to think about that he is not aware of. So he has to talk to Yuga 1st about what to do. Which is cool Yuga DID because if you remember, Aoyama was among his 1st brainwashing victims in season 2 during the Calvary battle and he’s letting him get the details on how to more when Ojiro kept more distant and alert around him. Having this ability to make them speak in conjunction with persona chords means Shinso can have a large group trapped in minutes. If he can chain brainwashing he’ll be practically unstoppable. Bit of a deus ex machina power up but it’s still a solid progression that checks. Less so that AFO forgets to use search to verify who is present which would let him see a brainwashed Mrs Aoyama is standing next to Aizawa, Present Mic, AND Shinso. ITS THE ONE COMBO that makes his phone call system WORK and he FORGOT TO USE IT. Both AFO and AFS have search! What is NOT a deus ex machina is the other big player in making this gambit come together. And that’s Monoma. You always have to be careful what quirks to give Monoma because copy is a FANTASTIC power, but because he doesn’t gain the quirk resistances and won’t immediately get more advanced techniques without tutoring, he can hit a wall on what to copy faster than you’d think. But he has 2 things that are immensely good to know. 1 is he has an expanding time limit, and the other is his quirk arsenal expands. Both MASSIVE he can accomplish that. He hasn’t expanded more, at least that we know of, since Season 5, so he’s still at 4 quirks and 10 minute cap. (Which Aizawa does not remember. He’s not Class B’s teacher) So you gotta make each stock count. And he is going to get over his long time inferiority issue and thinking of his own life as a side role. But today he’s going to spit on that assumption. And he gets to be the biggest player summoning ALL THE HEROES using warp gate and having the means to warp all the villains and heroes OUT across the country. And I congratulate him on his 1st hysterical laughing fit that does not get him ko’d, AND is not annoying because this is the 1st time he points it at people that ACTUALLY deserve to be annoyed by his giddy delight at being such an obstacle. System Troy is activated as all hell breaks loose designed to separate villains by having their desired opponents drawing them to certain people. (And Tsukauchi is now a proven witness to Prime All-Might vs Prime AFO 7 years ago. We are talking about THAT fight a lot these days) Touya wants to fight Endeavor and Shoto, and scatters his crew,and the heroes essentially use themselves as bait to get people in the right spots. So for those wondering what System Troy is, it is likely a number of steel pressured mechanisms moved from the UA barrier underground shield out here to temporarily stall the villains moves. And likely would have stalled decay’s spread as well if AFS HAD successfully touched the ground to just end things. AFO wants to have the full battle to humiliate the heroes and have quirks to steal and Shigaraki just wants to destroy. (But still also wants OFA because like New Order on his own terms, because it fascinates him) They get shoved right back in the cages that were designed to get knocked over but still snap back in place so the villains would assume that the cages are destroyed when they in reality can be put back in place due to big consecutive attacks often being difficult even for the likes of the AFO’s. And are rocketed across the country. Set boss villains were prioritized and the Nomu were needed to be separated first and foremost. Sorry water villain from season 1 you were the rabble. (Oh and I think that’s Crust’s brother helping the pushback. Same quirk design and costume design but smaller scale.) And everything goes according to plan. One piece was out of place. And Deku is dragged away from his chosen battlefield.
I do really like how enthusiastic Class A (and B) are with Shinso when he shows up, along with him not knowing how to respond. Something wholesome of note is Ojiro's response. He was the first one wary of Shinso back at the Sports Festival, but now he's just as psyched as everyone else that he's here (the tail wagging is SUCH a great detail). He even asks what his hero name is, which we . . . don't get the answer to. Back in season five, I jokingly suggested "Mind F***er," but after giving it some thought, maybe something with "echo" or "whisper" in it. Yeah, if you've been a Monoma fan, then this episode was SOOO satisfying. I never once thought his crackhead energy was annoying, like I'm sure some did, but having it directed somewhere productive for a change was great. You did good, Phantom Thief. You did good.
@@HaydrogenBomb I somehow completely missed Ojiro being fully onboard and excited for Shinso now. Well done! That slipped right past me! Also both Echo and Whisper would be fantastic hero names for Shinso. I never found Monoma annoying because he was always kept in check by his other classmates and I am not the one that spazzy energy is directed at. I know many DO find him annoying, but it is still incredibly cathartic whether you do get annoyed by him or not. This was a full Monoma win and I love that the villains have to deal with this ball of chaos. That's something no one ever really thinks about. Chaotic characters like him are actually planning to be a huge nuisance to those that DESERVE IT. It was just fantastic.
Shigaraki's new look isn't a result of a quirk. Erasure has that on lockdown. It's probably due to the metamorphosis that his body is going through with AFO. A mutation if you will.
It's so sad that the new movie (You're next) hasn't come out digital yet because it takes place before the the final war starts😭. So you guys will have to watch it after
I have a question so for Patreon during the reaction will I be able to see the show and yall reaction at the same time like TH-cam bc ik some some people just put they reaction and not the show on Patreon
Good eye. That's not Crusch, the Hero that died in the hospital raid, but his brother. I don't remember the name he has. He was mentioned not in the main serie, but in the spin off "Team-up missions" (which is kinda canon by the way). If I remember correctly, the two brothers had an agency together, but maybe I'm wrong.
He’s Crusts brother, it was revealing in the MHA Team up manga that Crusts had a brother and the 2 started their hero agency together. Sadly the character remains unnamed to this day
I have to say, for as great as this plan was, there’s one MAJOR flaw that ends up really screwing up a lot of things. Specifically that Shoto went against Dabi and Endeavor went against All for One. We see some reasoning behind why it was planned this way, but as we’ll later find out, All for One and Dabi are the last kinds of people you’d want to underestimate. Willpower gets you a long way, as we see with Toga. Her conviction was stronger than this plan. W for her.
I don't really see how that's a flaw. Both All for One and Dabi weren't underestimated at all during the battl. Shoto was put up against Dabi because he's the only one that can neutralise his flames. And Endeavour was one of the only ones with enough firepower to go up against All for One. The reason the villains get the upper hand later on is because of unforeseen circumstances such as All for One using a certain quirk and Dabi getting an upgrade. As for Toga, yeah, it was a mistake to overlook her when the fight started but with her ability to seamlessly blend into the crowd, it's kind of hard not to.
@@meadowhare1083 To break it down a little bit. Here are some flaws that they overlooked. First, Dabi. While Shoto was the most fitting quirk matchup, the issue is that they severely underestimated how Dabi operates. See, Shoto didn’t lose in the long run because of Dabi’s “upgrade” exclusively. It was because Dabi runs on pure willpower and he ultimately wanted to confront Endeavor. Not Shoto exclusively. So by having Shoto be the main one to face him, they’re basically inviting Dabi to not go down so easily because they’re taking away the one person who could actually make a massive difference there. Second, AFO. See, Endeavor is far from the only with enough fire power available. (I mean, unless we mean literal fire). Considering that the plan to fight AFO just came down to hitting him as hard as possible, there are plenty of hero and student team ups that would be able to get the job done. This is “explained away” by Hawks, saying that they didn’t want to provide a wide array of quirks for AFO to take, but that’s a matter of overestimating what they could do against AFO, since they ultimately had to team up against him with more people anyway. Heck, I’d say that Jiro and Tokoyami would be able to force him to rewind with the proper support, but that’s a whole other hypothetical. Overall, I would say they severely underestimated what would happen with AFO too.
@@CallMeSpinner Firstly with Dabi, you're right in that he has enough willpower to get back up when defeated, especially when it comes to his hatred towards Endeavour. However, that still isn't what messed up the plan. What messed everything up was Kurogiri coming back into play. Dabi got back up, yes, but without Kurogiri to warp him to Endeavour he would have either exhausted himself trying to get to him or have gotten caught by Shoto and Ida. As for AFO, unfortunately, yes Endeavour is the only one available to go toe to toe with him with both his speed, endurance, and power. All the other powerhouses had to be delegated towards Shigaraki for obvious reasons. Tokoyami and Jiro are a great team but they were only good for support, especially since Tokoyami couldn't go all out during that time since it was still daytime. As for Hawkes' explanation on why they couldn't have more heroes going against him. I think it makes perfect sense and isn't really them overestimating themselves. Think about it, for someone like All for One the last thing you wanna do is give him more fuel. At least with Hawks and Endeavour, they're both quick enough to avoid getting touched by All for One. They only ended up needing way more heroes when All for One began to use rewind, which no one knew he even had. If it wasn't for that, All for One would have definitely have been defeated by Endeavour. So yeah, their plan was still quite sound at least in my opinion. There were just things they couldn't have predicted.
@@meadowhare1083 First, while it’s true that Kurogiri was ultimately the catalyst for things going wrong there, I think Dabi would absolutely have enough willpower to get to where he wants to since his quirk allows him to go super fast. And even if we were to assume that he would pass out or be caught, considering the damage that Dabi alone can cause, that just seems negligent/counterproductive. Plus coupled with the fact that Iida wasn’t even there, and I can’t really say this plan adds up. Honestly, I just find the “Endeavor is the only one that can face AFO” argument to not really hold up. For Tokoyami, they later have Camie make it darker for Dark Shadow, and again, I feel like with the proper support, Jiro and Tokoyami would hardly need Endeavor. Like, we get people like Manga or Shoda from Class 1B whose powers are literally turning sounds into physical damage and doubling his hits’ power seemingly indefinitely. There’s also Yaoyorozu and Suneater, one of which could literally nuke AFO. Point is that there are a LOT of ways that they could go toe to toe with AFO that don’t require them to just resort to having a strong guy hit him a bunch. As for Hawks’s explanation, it’s more or less proven to be false since they ended up resorting to using Jiro and Tokoyami before AFO rewinded, so they were willing to, and had to throw more people at AFO regardless. Not to mention that the whole “giving AFO ammo” concept is already thrown into question since the same argument can be used against throwing two people with ultra strong quirks in to fight AFO. Again, the logic doesn’t really add up to me. I guess we can agree to disagree. But yeah, I truly think the lack of prediction here was just a lack of forethought, since they had methods to account for these things.
@@CallMeSpinneryour entire argument revolves around Endeavour not being there to fight Dabi which I feel is inherently flawed because I don’t think anyone expected Dabi to have THAT much willpower to the point where he’s a super powered charted corpse that awakened his ice power. Their plan was very sound, Endeavour is arguably the strongest hero they have physically, not to mention he’s quick and can stay at a distance. You can make arguments of what MIGHT have been better matchups, but the one they went with is pretty logical
Are you guys going to react to the spinoff series about mha called Vigilantes when it airs on April? I'm sure that a lot of people would be happy to see your reactions!
Toga pulling Izuku will never make sense. He is in 45% Full cowling. We literally see him jump between cities literally the end of the last season. Also now Shigaraki not only has Prime All Might level physical body and the quirk stash of AFO but bro can adapt like he is Mahoraga.
Imo It does make sense, it happens in a few seconds, its just seems like longer for the viewers, and not sensing danger he was shocked enough to not being able to prevent it

Monoma might be cocky, but we see her that he has a reason for that. His quirk might have a time limit, but being able to hold *multiple* quirks makes his powers a huge threat, and him someone that shouldn't be ignored.
Yall- your editing has gone above and beyond lately!!
*Thanks to Shinso and Monoma, the plan began super well! Well, aside from Toga. But I do think the plan to isolate the villains is a good one, especially after how the first war’s plan ended up turning out. Also, I’m concerned for Shigaraki if I'm being honest...* *I hope he’ll be okay...*

It's so cool to see so many characters come back and play a fundamental role in this war now no one is a back round character they've all got a part to play in ending this fight.
12:43 that hero looks a lot like Crust and has the same or at least a similar quirk. Possibly a relative like a brother or maybe even his father?
Yea "Danger sense" probably needs a different name but it's definitely on par with the description they gave it lol
I love it is amzing ability to me heve nice day❤
I know someone already brought this up, but for as great as this plan is on the heroes’ part, they definitely overlooked some of the finer details. Specifically with Toga, All for One, and Touya. We’ll eventually see why the plans with Touya and All for One kinda fall apart, but for now, I just find it surprising that nobody was searching for Toga and making sure she didn’t slip away, considering she’s kinda known to do that.
We'll have time to disagree about the match-ups for Dabi and All For One later, but what I'm curious about is how Toga was even able to grab Deku. We never saw her cage get opened, and unlike the rest of the League, she definitely doesn't have the power to do it herself.
For a character and action that COMPLETELY screws up the heroes' plan, it would've felt less like a cop out for her to show up and steal him away.
@@HaydrogenBomb I think she slipped away since they weren’t keeping proper track of where she was. I’d say a lot of times the villains mess up the plan here is because the heroes didn’t properly account for them individually.

Although you can predict where some of the characters will come in, there's still some curveballs thrown at you. I stand by MHA having the best character development, everyone is getting their moment and proper ending to their story without so many getting left out
The heroes chose mainly locations that the big battles had occurred in before because there’s way less built structures in what has already been destroyed. (2 parter between setup/MVP’s for Troy system and field setup.)
Kamino Ward’s United States of Smash crater to set the stage for Dabi vs Shoto and the Flamin Sidekickers, Gunga Villa’s ruins from the Liberation’s forces vs Team Edgeshot for AFO vs Endeavor and Hawks, Gang Orca’s aquarium at Okuto Island for Toga vs Uraraka and Tsu, the provisional license stadium for all sorts of random opponents and I think a few other fields not seen, the Troy field for the leftovers for Fat Gum and Aoyama, and of course the new home of UA’s main building. The coffin in the sky meant for AFS vs Deku and Bakugo. Deku is unfortunately yanked to the furthest field than what was intended. (And Toga yanking Deku away from the field is why I’m still pretty certain Endeavor still has Deku’s power outclassed for now)
But we do get to show off how much of a technological marvel the coffin in the sky is. Between more layers of launching underground shields, an electric barrier charged by the electric students, and people like Best Jeanist yanking him clear off balance as materials get replaced by Power Loader, Cementoss, the support course and Momo who is getting fed by their school chef hero! (Momo being used here like this has such unlimited potential it makes me sad they didn’t realize she could’ve done this with the Support Course when helping people get their final equipment pieces made.) And one last MVP move. Monoma has Erasure copied for the 10 minutes and Manual’s help and has Aizawa covering what he can so blinks don’t overlap. We are getting EVERY last limiter on this that we can and HAD 75% Deku been here? Chances are this ACTUALLY could have gone smoothly.
But AFS has ONE thing up his sleeve. His body has begun to transform free of a quirk. All this transforming we’ve been watching? This growth? NOT a quirk. And only SaS got a REALLY good look at it. And I’m betting this trump card was why it was ESSENTIAL that both AFO AND Shigaraki wanted her off the board entirely and not AFO leaving her alive to wallow.
And that is where we are left for next one where teams and fights can be more thoroughly explored!
I'm confident that almost EVERYTHING that goes wrong from this point on is Toga's fault for pulling Deku away from the correct Warp Gate.
I do love all the characters and pieces put together to make the Coffin in the Sky work. Yaoyarozu making materials for the Support Course while Lunch Rush keeps the lipids coming. Just like Hatsume and Melissa in the Team-Ups manga (they met, used Deku as as a testing dummy for various bits of gear, it was a whole thing), Hatsume and Yaoyarozu make a good team that I wish had gotten explored more. Kaminari and Manga (love his inclusion) join two others (one the third year who DEFINITELY isn't crushing on Nejire) in powering the barrier. And, or course, Monoma and Aizawa erasing Shigiraki's Quirks from the OUTSIDE of said barrier while Manual keeps Monoma's eyes hydrated (seems they learned their lesson from the first war about keeping Aizawa and Erasure safe).
I think you're right; if Deku had gotten there as planned, things might have ACTUALLY gone fully right, for once.
So much so that Horikoshi had to give Shigiraki an unexpected edge in this fight (you talked about Shinso and Monoma being or not being a deus ex machina, but I wonder what you'll say about Shigiraki).
@HaydrogenBomb
I need to know how Toga caught Deku without activating danger scene!?!??
(Don't real answer that...)
Like, my only guess is that there was no ill intent on from Toga's actions?
@@HaydrogenBomb I needless to say have an entire thing on AFS' divide by zero body for next episode. But I will say this. I do not consider this transforming body a deus ex machina even though it makes absolutely no sense at all in a show so grounded in reality. Between talks of the quirk singularity and how the body has to keep up with your quirk, how AFO has operated over the years, and if you ask the right questions, yeah Garaki had this set up from the get go, and this transformation is the true visual of AFS being completed and "stabilized" with what he was missing. This WAS set up properly. We always knew of the warning but didn't understand what Garaki was doing to counteract it. But I will get into the details of this on Thursday.
Monoma copy quirk needs support from others to be useful, he can't win in a 1 on 1 fight, first he needs to touch them to copy the quirk so if he fights a villein with a long range power he can't get close and if he does copy them the villein will know how to use their own power better then he can. So to be useful Monoma needs friends to copy from and time to Learn how to use his friends powers so by himself he can't do anything
Monoma proving he’s the true MVP here
They just released the trailer for the Vigilantes anime spin off letts gooooooo
So what's the general consensus on All For One's new mask?
Personally, I like it, but I don't know how popular that sentiment is with the fandom.
Personally I like the new mask. Nothing was wrong with the old design but there’s also honestly nothing wrong with the new one either. Both are solid. AFO for as terrible as he is has a heck of a sense of style
24:32 so think back to the first season, Erasure doesn’t work on heteromorphic type quirks e.g. if the quirk has something to do with the physical augmentation of the body it can’t be erased. If you think about it Tokoyami only has a single quirk which is Dark Shadow but as you know he physically has a birds head, if erasure were used on Tokoyami only Dark Shadow would be erased not his physical appearance, in the same way that if your quirk was having 4 arms erasure wouldn’t cancel 2 of those arms. This means per the physical augmentation done to Shigaraki to make him suitable for the quirk AFO his physical form is now different to how it was
Monoma, the unespected Goat
When everyone comes out of the portals I get goosebumps its such a good scene
Yall need to be pro detectives or fortune tellers with how much yall predict and blindly investigate the future episodes before you watched them. Montana has nailed a lot of them throughout the series🤣
If you wanna know about what he did in the end with his hands that's not his quirk is like a mutation but it's artificial there only two people who can do that one artificial and one natural
Plus Monoma made his own individuality by training to use multiple quirks he can copy
The 2nd war has truly begun in earnest. Everyone is just throwing everything to the wind. And all hell is breaking loose. (2 parter to separate the episode and the full field setup for the season)
We get to see a bit more of Eraser Head’s plan beforehand as the kids are debriefed and informed. Along with All-Might…looking like he’s learned how to massage as competently as Iida has learned how to not spazz his arms. (Which now that I think about it, hasn’t happened at all since the 1st war! Did he FINALLY get that nerve transplant surgery? That’s been such a long time coming! Wish we got confirmation. If he did that amps up his movement, flexibility, and just SO much more to have full body control again. Pretty much EVERY weakness Iida has is connected to not getting that surgery) Also Mina saying “He saw the light!” Reminds me of the Blues Brothers. “JESUS H CHRIST I HAVE SEEN THE LIGHT! I SEE IT. THE BAND, ELWOOD! We gotta get the BAND back together!” They discuss Aoyama’s double cross gambit. Bakugo’s descriptions of AFO have been A+ after A+ I swear.
Momo wants to confirm that the Aoyama’s won’t be at risk since the descriptions that were given what happens for trying to get the police and heroes involved leads to GRUESOME outcomes. And All-Might describes what I can best say is one of AFO’s strangest systems. This whole call system with the lie detection quirk is honestly ridiculous to me. In my ongoing denial of Nezu not being a villain but is extremely incompetent instead at this point, one of my big points was saying to people how would AFO talk to the Aoyama’s? Would they just call him on the phone? “Hello? Mr Devil? How are you? I’d like to discuss some top secret treasonous things.” And just how ridiculous that sounds. And I said knowing AFO and his planning systems, he likely has a middle-man or several of them that speak to informants that would confirm intel on his behalf so AFO can never be tracked or seen in the wild without gaining access to one if not several of his middle-men which organized crime utilized PLENTY of. But then we see AFO getting directly involved AND taking the initiative where he could possibly be recorded or overheard, and while he has search and the lie detection quirk, he doesn’t have a way to confirm if camera’s or recording devices are nearby or on without lying being in play. And as he talks to the Aoyama’s as an “Uncle” even he just says this is ridiculous. So happy we agree AFO! You’ve only had 200 years to think of something less risky and more reliable as search wasn’t even available to be used til Bakugo’s amber alert and after you broke out! Sometimes your pawns SHOULD be upgraded to other pieces for special purposes you don’t want your hands on in the most beneficial places you can find footholds for your empire! The mob had the police, tow companies, casinos, horse racing, waste management, bars and restaurants, and other big establishments for “legitimate” business. And they even implied AFO was a CEO at one point in his empire. (They kept showing a skyscraper draped in red sky in his early appearances before they found him in the Nomu storage in season 3.) Apparently none of the options available for what could be built from that are in play and he’ll just call you over the phone with direct demands or slightly coded without “free” movement. So a rare missed opportunity for how AFO operates. (Yes I know organized crime has been dismantled in Japan but Garaki had a VAST network right under everyone’s nose. I don’t think Garaki was all AFO had left to have this many informants this fast after breaking out.)
Shinso comes in to overcome AFO’s informant system. And the kids ARE hyped but cautious about what opens up. Shinso’s presence always breaks up team communication, but that’s not helpful when the enemy isn’t present. But Shinso ALSO has a running gag of finding the exact right power up immediately AFTER a big confrontation. He only learned that you don’t need to speak to him directly and just any acknowledgement at all works AFTER getting tossed out of the ring by Deku in season 2, and after giving us the ins and outs he worked out in season 5, we are getting more into how he operates WITH brainwashing while Season 5 mainly consisted of him stopping people in their tracks and trying to physically keep up with the kids. Getting to talk through brainwashing to filter out intention is a very odd and specific thing to figure out. He still can’t force them to provide info they have to think about that he is not aware of. So he has to talk to Yuga 1st about what to do. Which is cool Yuga DID because if you remember, Aoyama was among his 1st brainwashing victims in season 2 during the Calvary battle and he’s letting him get the details on how to more when Ojiro kept more distant and alert around him. Having this ability to make them speak in conjunction with persona chords means Shinso can have a large group trapped in minutes. If he can chain brainwashing he’ll be practically unstoppable. Bit of a deus ex machina power up but it’s still a solid progression that checks. Less so that AFO forgets to use search to verify who is present which would let him see a brainwashed Mrs Aoyama is standing next to Aizawa, Present Mic, AND Shinso. ITS THE ONE COMBO that makes his phone call system WORK and he FORGOT TO USE IT. Both AFO and AFS have search!
What is NOT a deus ex machina is the other big player in making this gambit come together. And that’s Monoma. You always have to be careful what quirks to give Monoma because copy is a FANTASTIC power, but because he doesn’t gain the quirk resistances and won’t immediately get more advanced techniques without tutoring, he can hit a wall on what to copy faster than you’d think. But he has 2 things that are immensely good to know. 1 is he has an expanding time limit, and the other is his quirk arsenal expands. Both MASSIVE he can accomplish that. He hasn’t expanded more, at least that we know of, since Season 5, so he’s still at 4 quirks and 10 minute cap. (Which Aizawa does not remember. He’s not Class B’s teacher) So you gotta make each stock count. And he is going to get over his long time inferiority issue and thinking of his own life as a side role. But today he’s going to spit on that assumption. And he gets to be the biggest player summoning ALL THE HEROES using warp gate and having the means to warp all the villains and heroes OUT across the country. And I congratulate him on his 1st hysterical laughing fit that does not get him ko’d, AND is not annoying because this is the 1st time he points it at people that ACTUALLY deserve to be annoyed by his giddy delight at being such an obstacle.
System Troy is activated as all hell breaks loose designed to separate villains by having their desired opponents drawing them to certain people. (And Tsukauchi is now a proven witness to Prime All-Might vs Prime AFO 7 years ago. We are talking about THAT fight a lot these days) Touya wants to fight Endeavor and Shoto, and scatters his crew,and the heroes essentially use themselves as bait to get people in the right spots. So for those wondering what System Troy is, it is likely a number of steel pressured mechanisms moved from the UA barrier underground shield out here to temporarily stall the villains moves. And likely would have stalled decay’s spread as well if AFS HAD successfully touched the ground to just end things. AFO wants to have the full battle to humiliate the heroes and have quirks to steal and Shigaraki just wants to destroy. (But still also wants OFA because like New Order on his own terms, because it fascinates him) They get shoved right back in the cages that were designed to get knocked over but still snap back in place so the villains would assume that the cages are destroyed when they in reality can be put back in place due to big consecutive attacks often being difficult even for the likes of the AFO’s. And are rocketed across the country. Set boss villains were prioritized and the Nomu were needed to be separated first and foremost. Sorry water villain from season 1 you were the rabble. (Oh and I think that’s Crust’s brother helping the pushback. Same quirk design and costume design but smaller scale.) And everything goes according to plan. One piece was out of place. And Deku is dragged away from his chosen battlefield.
I do really like how enthusiastic Class A (and B) are with Shinso when he shows up, along with him not knowing how to respond. Something wholesome of note is Ojiro's response. He was the first one wary of Shinso back at the Sports Festival, but now he's just as psyched as everyone else that he's here (the tail wagging is SUCH a great detail).
He even asks what his hero name is, which we . . . don't get the answer to. Back in season five, I jokingly suggested "Mind F***er," but after giving it some thought, maybe something with "echo" or "whisper" in it.
Yeah, if you've been a Monoma fan, then this episode was SOOO satisfying. I never once thought his crackhead energy was annoying, like I'm sure some did, but having it directed somewhere productive for a change was great. You did good, Phantom Thief. You did good.
@@HaydrogenBomb I somehow completely missed Ojiro being fully onboard and excited for Shinso now. Well done! That slipped right past me! Also both Echo and Whisper would be fantastic hero names for Shinso.
I never found Monoma annoying because he was always kept in check by his other classmates and I am not the one that spazzy energy is directed at. I know many DO find him annoying, but it is still incredibly cathartic whether you do get annoyed by him or not. This was a full Monoma win and I love that the villains have to deal with this ball of chaos. That's something no one ever really thinks about. Chaotic characters like him are actually planning to be a huge nuisance to those that DESERVE IT. It was just fantastic.
Shigaraki's new look isn't a result of a quirk. Erasure has that on lockdown. It's probably due to the metamorphosis that his body is going through with AFO. A mutation if you will.
I agree with you here l hope he ok l love shigarki he amzing villain have nice day❤
Let's go one of my favorite episodes finally on youtube

Didn't the scaly Hero at 12:50 die in hospital raid?
Good eye. That's not Crusch, the Hero that died in the hospital raid, but his brother. I don't remember the name he has. He was mentioned not in the main serie, but in the spin off "Team-up missions" (which is kinda canon by the way). If I remember correctly, the two brothers had an agency together, but maybe I'm wrong.
He’s Crusts brother, it was revealing in the MHA Team up manga that Crusts had a brother and the 2 started their hero agency together. Sadly the character remains unnamed to this day

18:18 turning back where mam?
I have to say, for as great as this plan was, there’s one MAJOR flaw that ends up really screwing up a lot of things. Specifically that Shoto went against Dabi and Endeavor went against All for One. We see some reasoning behind why it was planned this way, but as we’ll later find out, All for One and Dabi are the last kinds of people you’d want to underestimate.
Willpower gets you a long way, as we see with Toga. Her conviction was stronger than this plan. W for her.
I don't really see how that's a flaw. Both All for One and Dabi weren't underestimated at all during the battl. Shoto was put up against Dabi because he's the only one that can neutralise his flames. And Endeavour was one of the only ones with enough firepower to go up against All for One. The reason the villains get the upper hand later on is because of unforeseen circumstances such as All for One using a certain quirk and Dabi getting an upgrade. As for Toga, yeah, it was a mistake to overlook her when the fight started but with her ability to seamlessly blend into the crowd, it's kind of hard not to.
@@meadowhare1083 To break it down a little bit. Here are some flaws that they overlooked.
First, Dabi. While Shoto was the most fitting quirk matchup, the issue is that they severely underestimated how Dabi operates. See, Shoto didn’t lose in the long run because of Dabi’s “upgrade” exclusively. It was because Dabi runs on pure willpower and he ultimately wanted to confront Endeavor. Not Shoto exclusively. So by having Shoto be the main one to face him, they’re basically inviting Dabi to not go down so easily because they’re taking away the one person who could actually make a massive difference there.
Second, AFO. See, Endeavor is far from the only with enough fire power available. (I mean, unless we mean literal fire). Considering that the plan to fight AFO just came down to hitting him as hard as possible, there are plenty of hero and student team ups that would be able to get the job done. This is “explained away” by Hawks, saying that they didn’t want to provide a wide array of quirks for AFO to take, but that’s a matter of overestimating what they could do against AFO, since they ultimately had to team up against him with more people anyway. Heck, I’d say that Jiro and Tokoyami would be able to force him to rewind with the proper support, but that’s a whole other hypothetical. Overall, I would say they severely underestimated what would happen with AFO too.
@@CallMeSpinner Firstly with Dabi, you're right in that he has enough willpower to get back up when defeated, especially when it comes to his hatred towards Endeavour. However, that still isn't what messed up the plan. What messed everything up was Kurogiri coming back into play. Dabi got back up, yes, but without Kurogiri to warp him to Endeavour he would have either exhausted himself trying to get to him or have gotten caught by Shoto and Ida.
As for AFO, unfortunately, yes Endeavour is the only one available to go toe to toe with him with both his speed, endurance, and power. All the other powerhouses had to be delegated towards Shigaraki for obvious reasons. Tokoyami and Jiro are a great team but they were only good for support, especially since Tokoyami couldn't go all out during that time since it was still daytime. As for Hawkes' explanation on why they couldn't have more heroes going against him. I think it makes perfect sense and isn't really them overestimating themselves. Think about it, for someone like All for One the last thing you wanna do is give him more fuel. At least with Hawks and Endeavour, they're both quick enough to avoid getting touched by All for One. They only ended up needing way more heroes when All for One began to use rewind, which no one knew he even had. If it wasn't for that, All for One would have definitely have been defeated by Endeavour.
So yeah, their plan was still quite sound at least in my opinion. There were just things they couldn't have predicted.
@@meadowhare1083 First, while it’s true that Kurogiri was ultimately the catalyst for things going wrong there, I think Dabi would absolutely have enough willpower to get to where he wants to since his quirk allows him to go super fast. And even if we were to assume that he would pass out or be caught, considering the damage that Dabi alone can cause, that just seems negligent/counterproductive. Plus coupled with the fact that Iida wasn’t even there, and I can’t really say this plan adds up.
Honestly, I just find the “Endeavor is the only one that can face AFO” argument to not really hold up. For Tokoyami, they later have Camie make it darker for Dark Shadow, and again, I feel like with the proper support, Jiro and Tokoyami would hardly need Endeavor. Like, we get people like Manga or Shoda from Class 1B whose powers are literally turning sounds into physical damage and doubling his hits’ power seemingly indefinitely. There’s also Yaoyorozu and Suneater, one of which could literally nuke AFO. Point is that there are a LOT of ways that they could go toe to toe with AFO that don’t require them to just resort to having a strong guy hit him a bunch.
As for Hawks’s explanation, it’s more or less proven to be false since they ended up resorting to using Jiro and Tokoyami before AFO rewinded, so they were willing to, and had to throw more people at AFO regardless. Not to mention that the whole “giving AFO ammo” concept is already thrown into question since the same argument can be used against throwing two people with ultra strong quirks in to fight AFO. Again, the logic doesn’t really add up to me.
I guess we can agree to disagree. But yeah, I truly think the lack of prediction here was just a lack of forethought, since they had methods to account for these things.
@@CallMeSpinneryour entire argument revolves around Endeavour not being there to fight Dabi which I feel is inherently flawed because I don’t think anyone expected Dabi to have THAT much willpower to the point where he’s a super powered charted corpse that awakened his ice power. Their plan was very sound, Endeavour is arguably the strongest hero they have physically, not to mention he’s quick and can stay at a distance. You can make arguments of what MIGHT have been better matchups, but the one they went with is pretty logical
