The students didn't know who was causing the shockwave so they didn't know it was decaying

It was very briefly mentioned last season, but Gigantomachia was All for One's personal bodyguard, so we can assume he originally had a very durable body(Quirk) and AfO just stuffed him with Quirks. That's why he's so big

Nejire Chan is her hero name

X-less destroyed the machine makeing the quirk destroying bullets (the guy who's cape Shigaraki stole) so most of them are gone but a few of them are still good

RIP Crust

Pixiebob (blue pussycat) made the right move to cast her skill to momentarily stop or delay the decay from reaching them even if she didn't completely stop it just like todorokis..otherwise it would've killed them from there just like the rest of the heroes that died from behind since it was too fast.

Something to note: in this Episode Deku used 45% of One For All’s power, and when that was shown in the Manga, it was shown to deliver the same levels of damage as Weakened All Might, so yeah…

You gotta remember the students are still kids. The most logical thing to think about is the fact that multiple UA teachers are here in the fight. The most impactful thing to the kids without killing the students off is their attachments to the teachers.

But what if Present Mic said “oh nooo, the doctor slipped out of my hand and got thanos’d”

Mirko being crippled and half dead but still wanting all the smoke with a fully awakened high end nomu tells you all you need to know about her little bad ass 😂😂😂😂

And now the war arc is about to get REAL, I'm watching it in dub as well and I can't wait for next ep

So before we get going, I’m just going to say these next few episodes are going to be me at my MOST analytical. Let’s get into it shall we? Let’s start with Shigaraki waking up. In the manga? I’m going to be honest, I REALLY appreciated the anime change. They didn’t explicitly show X-less cause Shigaraki’s awakening. They showed him look at the machine, and the moment he did, the spark conveniently woke up Shigaraki. This one was X-less trying to insure the materials that almost made Shigaraki (and then proceeded to actually make Shigaraki) never be used to make another. That is a MASSIVE improvement. Because a number of months ago I was actually looking into how the hell his heart just magically restarted and couldn’t come up with a reason why. Also demonstration of Shigaraki using decay as he pleases, he decays X-Less but not the cape. Old Shigaraki couldn’t have done that. So that’s complete nuance control of the quirk. That is some INSANE nuance from a man who does not know restraint well. Also few things I like about Shigaraki’s design, all his injuries from MVA remain. Something not made clear in the manga. He still has the charred arms from when he destroyed Deika City. And although it wasn’t shown in MVA anime, Redestro tore off Shigaraki’s fingers in the scene where he crushed his hands so he couldn’t decay anymore. (So it’s implied in anime they were just amputated later during his many surgeries and torture training after anime MVA occurred.) Respect on Tokoyami’s name for escaping Fat Gum. We saw Fat Gum shrug off blades that were building length long in season 4, we know he doesn’t care about bullets, and when Monoma explained why he can’t use stockpile quirks, they showed Fat Gum taking a MISSILE AND NOT CARING ABOUT ITS ACTIVATION LAUNCHED AT WHAT WE ASSUME IS FULL SPEED. And Tokoyami just ESCAPES him. And I hope the dub keeps the original lines of the manga of Fat Gum in this chapter. When Tokoyami escapes and Fat Gum chases him, he says “Don’t think I’ll let ya Dine and Dash on me like that!” And I LOVE that line. And when he almost gets crushed by Mount Lady’s…assets, he says “Some bun’s coming in hot!” And those are just genuinely funny one liners I wish they kept for the anime. Was holding out for the dub, but sadly no. So actually I should mention why Dabi says you’re pathetic to drag a bunch of students out here. It’s not implying he thinks Tokoyami is weak, especially when we know the League tried to kidnap him. (Which was Compress improv. No one gave any order to do that.) He’s saying it’s pathetic that the heroes in this operation thought they needed STUDENTS on standby. And as all the villains know NOW, this is ALL OUT WAR. And Dabi proceeds to have Tokoyami question what he’s fighting for in protecting the status quo. And when Tokoyami upholds the status quo caring for his teacher, Dabi just gets pissed and says you’re not thinking for yourself. Which…everything Dabi said was sadly true. Much like Stain it’s used in VERY twisted fashion, but I can’t outright disagree with what he says. I can’t tell you how many people get HYPED for Todoroki on Geten’s entrance I’ve seen already. (Todoroki is helping civilians and I don’t think he’d explode at Mount Lady. It’s funny how I never see someone catch that.) And as we know, Dabi and Geten are actually quite equal in power output minus longevity considering their MVA performance. Not just because Dabi failed to kill Geten, but because the reverse is true too. Machia is awake. The heroes don’t really have any contingencies in sight for stopping Machia other than stopping Shigaraki from waking up. And we’re already too late for that. Let’s leave it there. Next we got the evacuation being calm, IMMEDIATELY halted by the BIGGEST chills as OFA the 1st warns ALL the alarm bells for Deku. And what a speech that is. I LOVE IT but my GOD is it freaky. A transcendent one approaches, freed from the shackles of humanity, his power now swells. Stop him. As Deku holds himself from the sheer pressure of the order. That is OFA telling Deku: YOU ARE IN CHARGE OF STOPPING THAT. THAT IS WHAT ALL OF US DO AND HAVE DONE. Little do people seem to realize something. The final scene to speak of in depth is FILLED with nuance. Here is what the anime has told you. Shigaraki is at 75%. Deku is at 45%. And I’ll ask you this. Of what are we comparing that to? Because if there’s something VERY obvious, if Deku were at 100% and a bit more than twice as strong, would that compare to what we just saw Shigaraki do with decay? I can tell you right now. No. No it would not. We are REALLY getting into what makes my OFA theory. Feel free to disagree, but let me try and prove my point for what we know at this point in anime. I have tried to tell people Deku can’t POSSIBLY be learning 1% at a time based on just how GIGANTIC of a difference there is from each increase in %, and there’s no way it can be Deku starting from All-Might power. (All-Might kinda proved that by MANHANDLING Deku and saying Deku’s 100% blasts are a 5 out of 100 in season 2.) And because of that, I came up with a system that works best for the story, and I think Horikoshi truly is using this system. As Deku’s max control increases, his stockpile arsenal also increases, all to master what was given to him when he received OFA. 1/60th of what All-Might could do 6 years ago. (If All-Might could only use 1/60th in season 1, I don’t think he could pass the full 60/60 either.) All-Might has a blazing vestige, and OFA is always described as a raging inferno. If that is true, I think the walking inferno man IN OFA likely has a LOT more flames. Can’t use them since he’s crippled and all now. But they ABSOLUTELY seem to be there. (So by my theory Deku is about 1/120th of OFA at its absolute best.) Want to prove me wrong? Tell me when and where Deku’s quirk increased by a MULTIPLICATION OF 60 TIMES. And I’ll wait because when you go to look, you will NOT find one. That being said, Deku at 100% is still in league with MANY top pros as do a number of his classmates. So chances are they’ll redefine pro power later. Shigaraki on the other hand…proves to be on the spectrum of PRIME AFO. 75% of the FULL 60/60. What was missing in the last 25%? Don’t know, but we’ll see. That decay wave made the United States of Smash look TINY. Probably because it was PRIME vs 1/60th pushed to max. It made DEIKA look small. And is it the best Shigaraki can do? I HIGHLY doubt it. If that ENTIRE LAB was dedicated to giving Shigaraki the quirks of AFO…what we saw…was decay WITHOUT OTHER QUIRKS BEING STACKED. (And I don’t think it was 25% of his quirks are missing. I think that’s what was being forcibly injected into his shock treatment BEFORE he went in the tank.) Oh and he has quirk deleting bullets. Many are gone, but he has a FEW and that’s INSANELY dangerous. The ONLY good thing is that even though Shigaraki must have COUNTLESS quirks, he doesn’t have 200 years of experience using it and practicing quirk usage like AFO. So…even though our main protagonist is about 1/100th of the main antagonist, that would only be for certain the case of Shigaraki was fully mastered of what he has. And as INSANE as the decay demonstration was, that should be ALL he has mastery of. We are in for a WILD RIDE. I’m still fine tuning my theory as we go, because I’ve been WAITING for these scenes to be animated as this is where it’ll be best to show feat progressions and such.

Shigaraki's opening move was annihilating a city. All for One was right on his boy becoming a Symbol of Fear/Terror. The leader of that terrorist organization that has been attacking Japan for the last year, and his groups attacks have gotten progressive worse, well now he can destroy cities with a touch.

Anime these couple of weeks got everyone like Zetsubou-sensei! "I AM IN DESPAIR!!!"

We have seen mount lady small so normal birth

I know what's going to happen because I kinda read the Manga but I never been this nervous

Was waiting for this lol!

If Deku was to get all his powers from the pass holders, his body would explode because it's not strong enough to withstand such great power😬

Shigaraki's time to shine!!!

‼️‼️Watch the animes with their original audio‼️‼️ almost everyone knows that English dubbing tends to be very bad, not to mention that many times they change character dialogues (that is, the translation is bad) as well as censor character dialogues for be "very provocative" 😐 and another thing is that the voice acting tends to leave a lot to be desired on several occasions, that is, whether in moments of anger, laughter or anger, the voices in English fail to reach the level of expressiveness that the Japanese or what is shown on the screen (that is, the characters)

I never realised how bad dabis voice is in the dub.
