I kinda knew Midoriya would answer like that, but I never expected the ending of this episode. Things don’t look good, and honestly, it feels like everything’s just getting more interesting now that we’re almost reaching the end.

It was a bit silly seeing the two former One For All wielders facing the wall 😭 Couldn’t they just make their faces blurry or something? They looked like sulking kids. The second half of this episode felt a bit heavy and realistic, though, and I was impressed with how everything was handled.

Oh, man. This is some serious damage control while also starting something interesting. Deku’s really doing some soul-searching. Lmfao. Just kidding. Overall, this episode felt calmer, but it’s definitely building anticipation for what’s happening next.
