This episode was really good and very important for Shigaraki’s character. It felt disturbing at times, but the way it was portrayed was amazing. The emotions, voice acting, and even the narration were all on point and really hooked you in.

If only I had Re-Destro’s power, I’d be so heckin’ huge with the amount of stress I have. The final boss fight was amazing, and then they incorporated a backstory, too? Man, this was getting really good.

I am SO mad. Shigaraki’s backstory was infuriating that I kinda understand why they became who they are now. This episode really delivered the emotions perfectly. Very disturbing and really heartbreaking.
