Toga didn’t actually attack or hurt anyone until she was like 15 & attacked that crush of hers we saw in season 5 but she was still called a monster & demon her whole childhood despite how hard she tried to be “normal”. It’s definitely a self-fulfilling prophecy. If someone tries that hard to suppress themselves to make you happy & it’s still not good enough, what’s the incentive to keep trying?
She tried to hold it in all the time and cried while drinking the blood of the boy she liked. Her first murder could have been prevented if her parents would have allowed her to substitute her blood lust. For example by letting her drink the blood of the birds.
@@annaavertho4944 Also how the parents just assumed she’d hurt the bird when she actually found it already injured. Also Saito was never confirmed dead, the news report just said attacked so it’s possible that although that was her first attack, it wasn’t her first kill. Basically, this wasn’t a case of “she was always evil, serial killer from the start!” This really was like 15/16 years in the making.
Honestly, that bit with Toga and Touya really moved me. Like, Touya saying he doesn’t feel anything anymore was a blatant lie on his part, otherwise he wouldn’t have tried to help her. There’s a sense of comradery among the villains that I can’t help but kinda respect in a weird way
Besides the Star and Stripe confrontation, there's a reason these past few episodes were more on the slower/exposition side. Once the final war kicks off, its pretty much nonstop madness until the end of the series. And yes, next season is definitely the final one
We had the villain arc in S5 where Toga got some spotlight... people forgot parts for previous seasons. There was recap episodes before the season aired to help with that for the main hero and villain characters.
The start of the end. This is the start to the last arc of MHA, and i believe they are spitting it into 2 season, this one 21 eps and the next one maybe 10-12 eps. Thats why its been a pretty slow opener. Its about to be full throttle till the end of the series.
"slower opener"? We did not have a slow episode so far it was more of a build up episodes after the Star and Stripe fight and even these eps had always something interesthing to happen. Unlike some other show "cough" Slime "cough".
Now I get the feeling that this episode will be attacked for its animation. But I thought it was fine. Nothing spectacular but if there’s a place to hold back the animation it’s during this preparation phase of the war. I standby this being the most rushed part of the entire story. And I don’t blame Horikoshi too much because of the manga being stuck if it was going to extend or not. And it was the 2nd big wave of threats sent at Horikoshi. (I’ll just continue to say don’t threaten creators. There’s no winners) Toga’s dreams and home are just beyond disturbing. And I think this is when I officially started suspecting Toga and Monoma were related. (I was not correct) But it showed her family had run for it, Curious in season 5 told us she was the eldest of her siblings. And then I started to realize Monoma and Toga were NEVER on the same field together. And I started seeing their similarities in appearance, quirk, and a few mannerisms. And I just COMMITTED to it. Probably one of my least favorite theories I’ve done nowadays. I hyper-focused too hard on it. It prevented me from enjoying parts of the story. So I’m going to give Toga extra attention this time around. Dabi setting ablaze the home and burying what both she and her family had left behind just to show that to her, that part of her life shouldn’t matter anymore. The world getting destroyed means there won’t be anything to return to. It’s her life now that matters. Her anger at the heroes over the death of Twice. And Dabi supplied her with the means to exact that revenge. We narrowly avoided the full force getting unleashed when Hawks killed Twice. And we likely even MORE narrowly avoided the quirk double being apart of the collection of AFS. A devastating weapon to go undetected considering the heroes were IMMENSELY wary of Twice and his quirk. Dabi once again playing the real long game. He had that on him waiting to give it to Toga at the right time in her emotional stability and got it to her when she returned from her fight with Uraraka. Probably would’ve been useless in the 1st war because she was going through her grief and interpretations on what Twice meant to her during it. Sometimes you just don’t know what you have til you lose it. Seeing Shigaraki overcoming the quirk doomsday theory is super cool to me honestly. Garaki told us in the lab that people didn’t buy into his theory but then AFO came whole heartedly believing in it. Which tracks. There are few quirks LESS stable than OFA and AFO. Deku and All-Might made OFA stable long after it had any ability to, and now AFS is making a boosted AFO collection stable. And in this freaky body amalgamation that has Spinner just questioning is he looking at Shigaraki at all. It’s just beyond freaky. Spinner is TRULY out of his depth. He wanted to exact Stain’s will in season 3, and he has slowly been guided away from everything he ever wanted, but still told he’s worshipped for the thought. And that thought will lead the riots. Every relationship he’s built is mangled. Shigaraki was his best friend he inspired and got inspired by into action. And he told the MLA himself he was nothing on his own. And now he’s getting entrusted with the will of an entire movement he feels he has no place in. And all he does is step forward not because of his own belief, but because there’s too much pushing him in this direction. And he can’t stop. But he’s clearly thoroughly disturbed. The kids search for jailbreakers as they train and do what little they can to prepare. I THINK what Mineta is trying to ask Deku is does he want to get whatever rotten thoughts off his chest so he doesn’t carry it stacked up again. It is what caused his breakdown in the rogue arc so I give kudos to Mineta here. But all Deku wants is to talk to Uraraka and thank her. Not like his mind will be any less settled by the battle and he still carries the tremendous burden of being the biggest fighter. Even if he’s not at maximum strength just yet. And the final plans for the 2nd war have arrived. It’s time to leave UA. No one gives Deku a hard time as he leaves even with there being more spies here. (Hard to get into my foot. But I guess AFO more doesn’t want his own resources used on the barrier.) And everyone says their goodbyes to their loved ones. And the people involved with the mob before all look concerned for their sakes. They are literally watching these 20 kids go out to fight literal oblivion. And doing it with a smile on their face no less. (Which is a great All-Might parallel. Except now people can see behind the smile. Or the circumstances surrounding it.) The kids move into Troy (ah yes the most famously secure city. Fooled by a wooden horse and burned inside out.) And they can only settle among themselves and spend their last day hanging out together. Deku takes the time to thank Uraraka. She saved him more than ANYONE ELSE. She is HIS hero. And Deku lets loose grade A flirting to support her. And he even supports her thinking about Toga’s mindset and how she thinks. Even though she doesn’t want to. She’s committing to Deku’s philosophies as well thinking there might be something there. And I love when she wants to shut it out Deku says don’t. That’s a gut feeling because there MIGHT be something there. I’m walking up TO THE DEVIL and I’m going to reach through hatred that destroyed the country. And Uraraka says it well. We’re both weird. AFO has one of the lowkey funniest interactions with the Aoyama’s. I remember in my denial of Nezu not being a villain I said what are the Aoyama’s going to do? CALL HIM ON HIS PHONE?! What do you do? Hello can I speak to the devil? It’s very important. And when AFO does EXACTLY that, even HE says, this is a stupid method. That cracks me up so much. Well at least we’re in agreement. But it does have nice lore to have an ancient lie detecting quirk. And then we get ANOTHER chat with Aoyama. He’s out and about. I do like how he shows what kind of world AFO would make in charge. The recreation of the Great Depression where he’s the sole benefactor is a nice way to show not just he CAN take over the world but also in a way where it’s LITERALLY been done before. The monopolies of the era and the organized crime were all powerful back then. And the desperation only furthered their power. And AFO praises his stalling tactics and the accuracy of AFO’s ambitions. Deku powers up and it sends a shockwave on THAT alone. We haven’t seen that since All-Might in season 2 just waltzing up to Bakugo and Deku in final exams. To a lesser extent but he’s KNOCKING on that door. I think on that alone I’ll say Deku is more likely at 75% than 60%. He needs the full 100 for AFO but every moment he fights he stockpiles and controls more. And he has a LOT of fighting to do. Aoyama betrays his betrayal BAFFLING AFO right as he warps every villain, Nomu, and resource he has to take on Deku. And Monoma warps in a bunch of heroes to overcome him. Last war was Infinity War. This time it’s Endgame.
*I agree with Uraraka if I’m being honest. I feel like if we really have to change hero society for the better, it’s best to start with people like Toga and Shigaraki, the people who were wronged by it.*
Then we will fight side by side with everyone else... We can promise you this, midoriya... We might- no... We WILL win this war and bring peace to Japan!
Last season had a massive flashback with Toga in the villian arc. She used to kill/drink blood of animals. Her quirk would always make her an outcast... I don't know of a hero that would need to drink blood.... They only wanted Twice power to attack the heros not bring him back to alive.
With Toga as far as we know she had at minimum a facisnation with dead animals potentially even killing them to drink their blood as a child. She then really snapped at 15 and brutalized her crush maybe even killing him. Now at 17-18 she basically has just been going on killing sprees. Toga was told her whole life that you can't hurt and kill people now she probably did need more therapy but considering that she still knows that her actions arent normal its not like she didn't know she was in the wrong. Just not being abel to curb your lust for murder isn't exactly a sad backstory its somthing that happens in the world but we don't look at theese people and pity them because unless you are really detached from the world it doesent exactly justify murder or other crimes.
*NO spoilers - all of this has been confirmed or implied in the anime so far!* Toga never killed animals. She found the injured bird, her parents just assumed she killed it & called her a demon. She also acted like a perfectly normal girl for most of her life - that’s why when friends & people who knew her were interviewed, they all said she was cheerful & obedient & nice. Despite that & how hard she tried, it wasn’t good enough & her entire childhood she was called a demon, told not to smile because her smile is too creepy & there is implied physical abuse. There’s other stuff too which hasn’t been revealed in the anime yet but I obviously won’t say here. Toga didn’t actually crave murder, her fascination is with blood & being close to people. The issue is she was immediately demonised & abused from age 5 & the people around her are the ones who formed the idea that blood = harming or killing people in her mind. If she’d actually been supported, taught to channel her natural genetic fascination that she can’t help in a positive & healthier way, things wouldn’t have turned out like this. She wouldn’t have snapped.
We'll definitely have a season 8 but we're not sure on the episode count as the manga is still going but we're only a volume or two away from seeing it end
It actually just started a new volume and Horikoshi said it won't just end after the war and that there was still a lot to address. I would say we have 10 chapters left.
Approaching 82k subs! Congrats, I think I subbed around 55k, keep up the great work. Good job on working out, pec pain is a pain but it means you are putting the work in. I'm a Black guy so I don't know about bangs but your hair looks nice (as always) Enjoy and be well
About the ''we dont know much about the villains'' point. I very much disagree, we know more about the villains than most of deku's classmates (shiggy, dabi, overhaul, twice, toga, hell we even know about kurogiri's backstory) 9:20 also shiggy did not just get 2 episodes of backstory, lets not lie. Mha has done their villains justice dw, they got their minutes and their backstory, especially Dabi and shiggy
What your thoughts of Unnamed Memory so far? Personally im really disappointed, show skipped so much character development between the majn characters i had to drop it but maybe you havd a better experience
