SHOOTING STAR | My Hero Academia Season 7x2 Reaction | EP140 

RIP Star & Stripe!! It did seem cool that her destroying the quirks inside Tomura was almost like fireworks going off😊🫡 🇺🇸

Star really went out like a total champion! Rest In Peace, you legend! ✊😞

Even Mr. Potato Head - cough - sorry, All For One, looked surprised for a bit

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. 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. 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 it’s funny, 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. Accommodating his behavior doesn’t make him 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, 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 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.) That’s the problem they couldn’t address or prove to him 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 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 separately 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 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.

Star was amazing! She knew what would happen and still went out like a Boss! 😭

Saying your dead regardless only applies to Star and stripe here as All for one already said that he didn't die. Plus his real body is still away so at best his vestige in Tomura would have died.

My hero let's gooo

Both of your faces the entire time 😮😮
