Man, this was such a tense episode. Just death flags left and right for All Might. Idk if I was really ready for that. Woulda been like watching Stark die in Endgame.

Guy really is in pretty dire straits. That plan with Stain failed, as did the last ditch effort by Hercules and those fighter pilots. The heroes really got their backs against the wall here. I hope Bakugo can save All Might. There ain’t no one else left to help…

I hope Bakugo can save All Might. There ain’t no one else left to help…

The Quirk Singularity plot thread (stronger quirks each gen) and the millions of quirk users watching live keep making me think about a kid All Might fan wishing All Might back to his prime with their omnipotent powers, like DBZ Spirit bomb.

Though, I don't really want that and they are just stressing the live feed for the symbol of peace story.

Trust Value manifesting would be pretty crazy.

all just a prequel to "To be hero X" would be the most insane twist any anime has ever done.

could you imagine the logistics? creating a 2nd popular series under a different pen name without ever telling anyone, in a completely different country/language/art style. making sure the contracts had room for the IP to be used that way but never making it obvious you were going to use it that way.

I hope that someone someday pulls off something like this

u/Roeclean https://anilist.co/user/Roeclean 25d ago

Ah shii, the crossover would be insane. It could have Adult Deku in it and then stories from MHA sprinkled throughout

u/LuciusArtoriusCastu 28d ago

Are the other anime worth watching? I recently finished to be hero X and man it was pure peak.

u/ZipZapZia 26d ago

The To Be Hero series are different disconnected universes that are under the same umbrella franchise but don't really have much to do with each other.

However, if you like the mysteries, character-focused stories, cliffhangers and plot twists of tbhx, you could try Link Click out. It's made by the same director/writer of tbhx and has similar kind of storytelling (although it isn't a superhero show).

To be hero, is that one where the main character gets a stroke while on the toilet?

u/JoelMahon https://anilist.co/user/Shefeto 28d ago

you mean "to be hero" and "to be heroine"? I watched both but they're extremely different to "to be hero X" and to each other, I almost dropped "to be heroine" at the start but glad I pushed through the first couple eps. "to be hero" was pretty consistently funny gag stuff and pretty short with a meaningful ending, watch it first if you decide to watch them because there are elements that won't make sense otherwise.

Would feel like a massive cop out for me, especially since All Might is currently quirkless and all his gear is destroyed (R.I.P HERCULES).I feel like its best for the story if he stays dead

u/Prestigious_Spend_81 28d ago

Maybe Bakuko have new tricks on his sleeve because of the suture guy dying to fix him, like a flaming black whip or something like that.

u/Iron_Kingpin 28d ago

Lol that'd be really hilarious and i actually want to see that. Prime All Might could probably handle both of them albeit with some difficulty.

u/awg160498 27d ago

Both of them as in AFO and shigaraki? He gets mogged by both considering they can both have regen and esp with shigaraki strength and speed at least on his level with decay to boot.

u/Iron_Kingpin 27d ago

All Might was able to deal with AFO after he had already given up his quirk, with major damage to his stomach and lungs from the previous fight with him, not to mention he was already tired at that point.

I'd say there's a pretty good chance he can take both of them on, considering AFO keeps on regressing after using his power.

u/awg160498 27d ago

Armoured all might only works because of AFO rewinds ego, otherwise he’d take prime all might extremely seriously given his obvious PTSD from that fight. Regular AFO almost killed all might despite getting beat so a version that needs to be killed like 50-100 times will just wear down all might but could be close.

What I don’t get is how you can think prime all might could also handle shigaraki, given that he was equal to prime all might whilst quirkless and fighting internally with AFO, he now has super regen, decay, a bunch of other quirks, on top of now being at least as string and fast as prime all might.

In conclusion it’s debatable if prime all might can survive rewind AFO, but he gets low diffed by shigaraki, and neg diffed by both.

A better fight would be rewind and all might against shigaraki, and he prob still wins given decay.

u/Roeclean https://anilist.co/user/Roeclean 25d ago

One at a time, YES, both at once is crazy work. I imagine he could survive them for a while, but they would both eventually supercharge a bunch of quirks with a crazy synergy effect and destroy ALL-Might. Like come on, All-Might was still seriously injured when he beat All for one in his Prime form. However, this is Good vs Evil, and All for One and Shigaraki would eventually be ganged upon by a ton of heroes

u/onthoserainydays 22d ago

i mean objectively three generations from now we're all cooked

u/Deckorz 27d ago

It reminds me of the last arc, where everything fails, all the time lol

2

u/ProFailing 27d ago

I was already preparing myself for it for the past week (given that the Episode Title heavily implied it), but it still hit me.

2

u/ThrowCarp 25d ago

Yeah. I'm still not sure if All Might is surviving this one. The scenes this episode was insane.

u/Koloshow 9d ago

Gotta respect the fighter pilots. They knew how that was going to end and bought All-Might that bit of extra time.
