Let the War of Heroes and Villains…BEGIN!
My Hero Academia S7 Ep 6 Review
The final battle for the world’s fate has begun at long last! On one side, we have the heroes of Japan fighting to stop All for One. On the other side, we have an army of villains led by All for One and Shigaraki, who are too OP for anyone to fight on their own. Fighting the villains as a single force is a no-win scenario, and the heroes know it. Thus, they opt for a more straightforward strategy to win this war: divide and conquer. Take them out one by one. However, that’s easier said than done.
Everyone Played a Part in this Trap!
The episode starts with a flashback explaining what should’ve already been made obvious: Aoyama duped All for One; however, I had forgotten how they fooled him in the manga. Lucky for me, the anime quickly reminded me of Shinso, the guy with the Quirk, a vocal version of LeLouch’s Geass. He used his Quirk to calm the Aoyama’s minds and hearts and fool All for One, proving once more why overlooking Shinso is a bad idea. The man’s Quirk is built for efficiency!
It’s not just Shinso, though, that’s played a part. As the episode makes clear, all the protagonists have a part to play in the hero’s divide-and-conquer plan. Monoma used his Quirk to copy Kurogiri’s, warp the heroes, and separate the villains. The support department has made the stage and cages to trap the villains. Everyone who has a power and is a protagonist in this series does something to help out, and I love it. The reason is my own belief that All Might’s decision to shoulder everything by himself was a mistake. Instead, everyone should work together to inspire people in the same way All Might has.
Deku Has to Fight is Yandere Stalker
The result: the heroes successfully isolate the villains to take them down. They even build a cage specifically meant to counter Shigaraki’s powers! However, there’s one slight problem: Deku, the lynchpin to fighting Shigaraki, isn’t there. Toga pulled him into a wormhole along with her. Now he’s stuck with Froppy, and Uravity fighting Toga.
Did we mention that Toga has a crush on Deku? It’s not going to work out well for him.
That aside, I liked this episode. I spent months reading this war play out in the manga, and it looks like the anime will live up to the hype. Buckle in, everyone. Get ready for one heck of a final war! Go beyond, PLUS ULTRA!
