COLD FLAMES | My Hero Academia Season 7x8 Reaction | EP146 

Something I’ve been saying a lot lately is that it’s honestly super sad that Shoto feels the need to carry all of the family’s hardships on his back when none of this should really be his responsibility. Unfortunately, Endeavor spent the last month or so completely neglecting Shoto and Touya, so he’s gonna have to fight All for One now instead, which sucks since Touya seems to really want to talk to him instead of Shoto, and I can’t say I blame him. Still though, I hope that Shoto can get through to Touya in some way. Touya may not want to admit it, bit they’re more alike than he thinks. Something I can’t say enough is how I couldn’t imagine being in Touya’s place in those flashbacks. Like, he burned himself up, and the next thing he knew he was several years older and looked completely different and had a different voice. And then he went home, only to realize that his father had essentially just continued on. All of Touya’s fears had essentially come to life then. And what sucks the most is that Touya was likely ready to come back with a whole new outlook on life.

There were so many amazing shots in this episode. Half the episode could be in a museum!

The depths of Dabi’s past truly feel like descending into hell. Garaki finally speaks up on one of the biggest conundrums among the villains. Dabi ALWAYS had special treatment. And while them knowing he was Endeavor’s son, they for some reason had absolute faith in him to take command of the vanguard action squad in the camp attack. They assigned Nomu especially to him, they gave him Hood the 1st High End, and just a VARIETY of other special treatments. But to watch AFO step up in the tremendous forest fire was one of the SINGLE most haunting panels in the manga. Y’know. Aside watching Touya just intentionally burn himself away. The man in the hat appeared in a panel removed in season 5, and the orphanage decorations appeared in a panel removed from season 4. There’s little pieces put together. But I can’t speak on those yet. Touya woke up in this orphanage run by Garaki. His body modified. His voice changed. And staring down those taken by AFO 3 WHOLE YEARS later. A fate VERY similar to Shigaraki. But Touya was out of control. He had not completely severed his desire to be with his family. And his unending drive to be taught by Endeavor. Slight correction. Touya did not burn this orphanage down. Mr Sunny did out of fear of being discovered. And the people who lived there were moved to another facility. They did go over in the season 6 opening episode that Garaki had a variety of orphanages, hospitals, and other covered buildings. In reality it was just another home in AFO’s empire. These people were like AFO’s ingredients to make something new. What we don’t know, since there’s possibilities of Nomu ingredients, and other creations we know they’ve made. But considering the special treatment and the desire to maintain Touya’s anger and hatred…that screams something VERY different. And then to have the proof when he returned things just didn’t improve. Shoto was getting “trained” and Rei was now in the hospital. And he even prayed at his own grave knowing he truly was gone from this family. He came to this fight wanting to end it all. And burn everything his family had built to the ground and take them with him. And we see what a prime adult Dabi can REALLY do. This isn’t a show like he was doing in front of Endeavor in Season 6 trying to have him take a good look at what Dabi is and his intentions. This time he’s going all out. With enough fire to burn down the city, he’s figured out EVERY of Endeavor’s ultimate moves but they are hotter and sloppier. Literally punching Shoto through skyscrapers and trying to take away the one thing he truly believed Endeavor wanted. But Shoto shows off his cold flames to survive. Again I’ll state that Shoto IS now capable of using fire and ice from both sides using his heart as the valve. (So we AREN’T doing the avatar lightning rules of don’t let it cross your heart.) This is his way of keeping himself from burning like Touya and the flamin sidekickers can only do so much protecting Shoto as they DON’T have the temperature regulation. His class never left him behind. They by now I’m sure have been informed of Shoto’s circumstances by Shoto himself. As he figured himself out. Who he wanted to be. And Deku never ONCE stepped back as the person who truly managed to set this whole family on the path to heal. Deku’s lesson to him ALL THE WAY back in season 2 started the domino effect. Shoto decided to help Rei, which rallied Fuyumi. And on his path to learn and grow it inspired Endeavor to be better. Natsuo was dragged in by force for Endeavor but he stood by them all. And they all came together with the reveal of Touya being alive. One small statement snowballed EVERYTHING. And here he is ready to stand for his family, and for everyone that helped him stand on the way here. With 2 new moves he quells what Dabi did. Freezing the entire city solid and finally putting out Dabi’s hellish fire. And Dabi passes out. (How these two managed to keep BREATHING with all the fire is beyond me. There has to be NO oxygen left in the city) What an absolute FIRE episode. Can Touya be saved? Can this family finally heal once and for all from its past? And will Iida be any contribution to this at all? And what kind of fresh hell awaits in the other battles. This is a huge stepping stone but this isn’t over by a long shot.

Absolutely speechless! The Shoto VS Deku fight is what really sold me on this show, so anytime he, or Endeavor, or Dabi's brutal past comes around with that beautiful and heartbreaking music...🙌 so amazing every time!❄🔥
