QUICK TAKES

This was an absolute chef’s kiss! This arc is unskippable. Every episode is important, including this one. I love the way they delivered this episode. It was hectic but also emotional. The odds were still unbalanced, making everything unpredictable but thrilling enough to keep you looking forward to the outcome. Keep watching!

Unexpected characters showing up at unexpected times? Dang, that was such a good move! I love how every arc is connecting now. This is such a well-written anime with amazing world-building. This episode really gave that perspective. Love this one! 🥹

This episode had such different vibes to it. The battle was becoming so hectic, and then they suddenly served us something sweet, lol. The focus of this episode felt refreshing, giving some unexpected characters a chance to shine.

No boring scenes or waiting time in this episode! Everyone’s efforts were really shown in this season, making it so exciting to watch. It’s like one character after another!

The animation here looks really cool, they incorporated a lot of flickering and distorted effect to emphasize Kurogiri's quirk. The pacing was a bit heavy on the dialogue but its enough to keep the tensions high between battlefields.

Tension reaches a higher level, with a more direct path toward conflict. The pacing feels sharper, and the atmosphere is more intense. It keeps everything focused and purposeful.

I like how the episode show the "chains" between heroes and villains fate. It's masterfully done! The animation transitions are slick but it felt like partial recap!!? (May be)

Recapping the chain of events while adding fresh emotions works really well. It helped me appreciate everything that's happened even more.

I'm still amazed how Horikoshi and the studio manage to portray some of ‘forgettable' characters redemption moments in the most epic and emotional way possible, even if it’s just for a few minutes.

All the ongoing fights feel extremely intense, everything is tense, dangerous, and very serious across every place. It’s hard to predict what will happen next. At the same time, seeing some villains actually helping was surprising. Even in all this stress, the kitty dance hacking scene felt funny and stood out.

Man, when Gentle Criminal showed up, that redemption moment hit different. Watching unexpected allies step up while chaos unfolds everywhere felt powerful. The emotional weight is real, animation's insane, and everything's building toward something massive. This season's absolute

Twice’s duplicates everywhere had me so tense. The sheer chaos and how heroes react to it made this episode exciting and stressful.

The fight is still on the peak ! even previous villains and anti heroes are helping ! well Shigaraki is just powerful , Cloning power of twice is cheat . Loved the Plotline and Character Development.

The fight between the heroes and villain continue after Kurogiri's awakening. Tensions remain as high as ever while both sides struggle to regain their footing. The episode feels slightly drawn out, but there are awesome moments of character development.

EPISODE CONTEXT

Positioned at episode 16 of 21, 'The Chain Thus Far' lands deep in the final stretch of Season 7's climactic war arc, escalating the conflict established in the preceding 'Butterfly Effect' where heroes scrambled to counter villain advances. This episode serves as a pivotal emotional fulcrum, intensifying the stakes and character dynamics — particularly between Toga and Uraraka — before feeding directly into 'Hopes,' which deals with the aftermath and the heroes' resolve to push forward into the endgame.
