QUICK TAKES

The shifting between scenes was smooth and didn’t really confuse the viewers. I thought this episode wouldn’t hype me up, then one scene suddenly provided some comic relief that made me giggle so hard. Anyway, everything just keeps getting better and better!

I thought this would just maintain the intense fight without much progression. But hey, I was so wrong! This was just as good as the previous episodes. A little slower at the start, but it was so worth it once things escalated in the second half!

This was so exciting! The way the adrenaline gradually spiked as the episode progressed was delivered really well. I really love the structuring of the plot points here. Also, that scene came out of nowhere and completely caught me off guard. 😭

Every effect in this episode was well thought out. You can really feel the episode like you’re one of the characters!

The layering of quirks here were awesome! The way they used the wind, the clouds, and the physical attacks are all in tandem to weaken the villains. The pacing was good as it went from UA broadcast to the showdown at Gunga. The sound designs here were also epic and full of action

The episode continues the upward build in stakes and tension. The pacing remains steady but carries more weight. Character moments feel more impactful, reinforcing the seriousness of the situation.

Intense episode it is! The animation of the battlefield is chaotic and beautiful. The pacing is rushing and relentless- it feels like the world is truly ending! 💥. More drama to go!!

Hope and determination fill the screen in such an uplifting way. These moments feel earned after everything, and they hit just right.

Not gonna spoil anything, but I'd imagine Avengers: Doomsday/Secret Wars would be something like this episode. I mean, like some characters we haven't seen for many seasons/years starting to show up randomly and join the war. So epic!

Another dangerous action packed episode where fights are happening everywhere. Everything feels intense and keeps getting better with each moment. The action and animation are improving constantly. Tokoyami unleashing his full power looked terrifying, finally showing his true strength in a very impactful way.

Watching Deku charge out of that airborne battlefield with Shigaraki hit different. The animation is absolutely insane, and everyone coming together with their own hopes for redemption felt powerful. Cinematics, direction, emotional weight—everything peaks here.

Gentle and Lady Nagant joining made my heart lift. The momentum shift was thrilling and gave a real sense of hope to the heroes. It's exciting!

All for one eye looking at Hawks just is soulless ! That was damn epic , Love the sound track of tense vibe going around , Lots of suspense and the development of power is much more rapid in this last run truly Classic

EPISODE CONTEXT

Sitting at episode 17 of 21, 'Hopes' arrives deep in the final stretch of Season 7's war arc, following the dire circumstances established in 'The Chain Thus Far' where the heroes were pushed to their limits. This episode functions as a pivotal turning point, shifting momentum through the arrival of unexpected allies and reinforcing the season's thematic backbone of unity. It directly sets the stage for 'It's a Small World,' the next installment, which appears poised to expand on the collaborative efforts introduced here.
