My Hero Academia 7x02 "Specter" - reaction & review 

Even though she was gone as quickly as she showed up, Star and Stripe knew how to make an impact!!

Star was amazing, she did so much to help even knowing she was probably not gonna survive, but she went in anyway and outsmarted AFO , so props to her for being amazing character in less than two full episodes

I think that was the 🚨PEAK ALARM🚨

MHA always makes me get emotional. I wish we didn't lose Star so soon.

Prepare yourself for the excitement and horrors to come!

2 really great anime that came out recently that I think you'll like are Kaiju No.8 and Go! Go! Loser Ranger. Though the latter is on Hulu or Disney + for those in Canada or Australia. Although I said "recent" they've been going for a couple of weeks now so there's a few episodes out now.

Greetings, So, what happened was that Star essentially hit ShigarakiAFO with a trojan horse, a virus that activated as soon as he "downloaded" new order. The plan for Star was to destroy him from the inside. The reason her quirk could not be passed on to someone else was because AFO was too late. I liken it to that of an immune system: like an immune system fighting an unknown/hostile substance, AFO's innumerable quirk factors fought back and destroyed New Order before it could destroy them. So, he is left with no new order and many quirk factors destroyed instead. Rest in peace, Cathleen Bate. Cheers, co is

Great reaction! I’m a new subscriber and I have been binge watching your reactions to Star Wars the clone wars! I know it’s nothing to do with hero academia but I think you’re amazing 🤩

Next MHA movie needs to be about Cathleen Bate & her bros 😭🫡

❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

Star wasn't like All Might that she needs a rule to bulk up, that's her body, her rules was sp she could be more agile and strong like All might, not as dtrong as his prime though since new order had buff limits

I never had much issue with the SaS battle. I remember having to remind people that no, the show won’t spend 6 seasons building up OFA to 100% control, stop at 45% for confirmation, (he’s likely 60-75% due to the month of going rogue and stockpiling nonstop) have a new character take over, all of us rise for the Star spangled banner, and just say America! F YEAH! And END THE SHOW. I knew SaS couldn’t keep her quirk with how broken she was and I knew AFS couldn’t keep it because it’s too broken. (I have her quirk at the #2 in the whole show. Behind AFO/OFA/Rewind which is a tie.) So it only made sense she would destroy her own quirk and I figured she would be like Oracle from Batman. No power, but supporting. Then I learned decay and AFO work at the same time and was VERY quickly put in my place. I thought that Decay and AFO would be the only exception of all his quirks could combine with each other with how they were in their core. (When this fight was coming out in the manga) My problem is that the conditions of AFS remain relatively unchanged. With next to no confirmation on the quirks he lost, he still has AFO’s collection and he can still use whatever whenever. And infinity minus infinity isn’t zero. It’s still infinity. In the ANIME they made it significantly more clear the damage she did and even show the clear core damage. There’s still the unknown amount of quirks considering the sheer vastness of his stockpile. We saw Garaki’s lab, the quirks were UNCOUNTABLE. They had AFO in custody for MONTHS and never found out how many quirks he had by the sheer quantity he’s stolen over 2 centuries. But we have a clear idea she DID leave an opening. And that satisfies my issue. This isn’t just a random fight that accomplished nothing to me anymore and I respect while it’s random, it’s still great. And this episode much like America, had a big fireworks display WAY too late in the war with the declaration they did so much, saying they’re the hero, and everyone globally questions did they really do anything? Ahhhh America. Causing global nuclear issues forevermore. What I DO have issues with is Bakugo. Yes he’s funny when he shouts at Deku, but the damage is there. Not 5 episodes after apologizing Deku tries to say we’re all going to spar to help me complete OFA and Bakugo makes CLEAR he wants to harm Deku to such an extent that he knows he can hurt AFO. Guys I know you want to say but that doesn’t dictate if he cares or not, and you’re right. But that SERIOUSLY deflates his apology to IMMEDIATELY go back to this. And there’s a reason last time they trained like this, Tsu and Uraraka scolded him for hurting Deku repeatedly. (Season 6 Episode 9) And THOSE 2 have a much greater and clear level of care. And people are STILL offput with how Bakugo treats him. When other characters haven’t been able to understand this treatment after 6 seasons maybe we shouldn’t be so quick to say it’s normal. That’s why Deku accommodating his behavior doesn’t make Bakugo any less crappy to Deku specifically. Bakugo has improved A LOT, but until there’s a word that leaves his mouth on Deku’s position as he does that and cares to consider his response WHILE he’s worked up when he’s most likely to cause harm to Deku, that’s not much improvement between the 2. He doesn’t deserve such benefit of the doubt with EXCLUSIVELY Deku. He does EVERYWHERE else. Like him insulting him again WHILE funny and good one liners during Deku’s breakdown likely did more harm than his apology helped him considering the circumstances of the class fight didn’t help Deku feel safer as the 19 worked together barely keeping up with him and Deku HIMSELF feeling quite outmatched by the AFO’s. (And to top it off, Best Jeanist claims he could catch Deku COMPLETELY on his own to force him to stop. So that’s more proof Deku genuinely IS outmatched by the AFO’s considering how Jeanist has PERSONALLY faired against the AFO’s in the past.) That’s the problem they couldn’t address or prove to Deku and that’s why he kept leaving them. Uraraka addressed his CURRENT issues in how at the end of the day yes hes growing to be the all powerful force of OFA, but that by no means takes away he’s still a human being with the literal WORLD on his shoulders. And applying THAT much pressure on him will only make things worse. Deku would STILL be emotionless collapsed in the rain and possibly crying himself to sleep without her. Bakugo provided NO security to Deku or even peace of mind when he apologized for the bullying because that is a COMPLETELY different issue. That’s why there’s STILL developments to be had between the two and there’s more to recover. Deku’s absent forgiveness I mentioned in that moment isn’t purposeless. I considered THIS scene when I was so critical of Bakugo’s apology because I KNEW how fast it reverts to “normal” behavior. I know I’m sticking my neck out and I know people don’t think kindly of my interpretations of Bakugo. But let’s make this clear. I don’t hate Bakugo, I love him. His personality is amazing and I love the acceptance arc he goes on valuing people more and more. And accepting what he is and what he wants to find in what he can and can’t do. But Deku’s is SUCH a long one not just because he was Deku’s bully, but because he tried his hardest to devalue Deku as an existing PERSON. And even in their rematch in season 3 he accepts OFA, but not Deku. That’s why not a dang thing leaves his mouth that DOESN’T have to do with OFA regarding Deku, and anytime the conversation drifted to JUST Deku and not OFA or symbol talk, he still gets ticked at his mere existence. How he talks, how he acts. All of it. His conclusions from season 6 from Deku’s perspective CAME OUT OF THIN AIR. His sacrifice against AFS, the apology, he had NO IDEA Bakugo was giving it thought. And seeing one moment of genuine thought for his well-being simply doesn’t mean much when the NEXT THING HE DOES is try to hurt him again making it clear I’M DOING THIS FOR ME, and the rest of class is freaked out. Because THEY know more than Deku does how poorly he treats him. This isn’t a knock on Bakugo’s arc, Deku is a very complex EXCEPTION to Bakugo’s development that he has to address completely separate from the rest of his character. None of this is poorly written it fits perfectly to how he’s designed. Bakugo can’t figure Deku out and accept him til he accepts himself. COMPLETELY. That’s what makes Iida and Uraraka his true friends because they know him for HIM. Not the responsibilities and logistics of the mission of OFA. And when they are made aware, it changes NOTHING to them because Deku is still the only thing they care about in all of it. He has to fight the devil? We will too. Bakugo isn’t a different kind of friend to Deku. It’s a WILDLY different circumstance and conclusions come at points that truly show not how much he cares, but how NEGATIVELY he’s seen Deku until now and how he’s growing out of that as time goes on. (And it’s a VERY RECENT development to make that effort.) And he’s STILL treating him like a punching bag! And now I have to accept I’m going to get flamed hard for even thinking such blasphemy because Deku accommodates the bullying and treatment confusing it all. I stand by as of this point they are teammates that work well on the same team, but don’t personally get along next to at ALL.

Watch worlds, finest assassin

Love how everyone copes that Star did some big thing when she basically just put some psychological damage on All for one witch he brushed off with no u.
