Thank you, it's the end of an era :') I wish I could react to every show for every season....it's sadly not a reality for many reactors, I feel like I drop a lot less shows than other reactors. :P Wow, so she didn't even realize that was Shigaraki?! Just carried that guilt anyway...wow. It's a great message isn't it! I love that Uraraka ended up doing counseling because of Toga! I love that Izuku is now the mentor for kids, just like what All Might did for him. Oh yeah that's right about the meaning of his name!! That is ironic. It's a strong sentiment that we can each do something heroic in small ways! Plus Ultra!!!

The reaching hands was the theme of the whole season and a lot of the series too. Ohhhh I do remember the anti quirk group now, thanks for reminding me! I'm so glad the boy is ok now

2025-12-18 15:34:02 +0000 UTCThe journey of a thousand miles always begins with a single step. Congratulations, your first show is complete complete. As in, you never dropped it, or skipped a season, or took an extreme long time off before returning. Maybe you’re feeling a bit down that it’s over - but tell yourself this: it got the chance to finish. There are plenty of shows who never get that lucky. As far as the episode itself, the irony of “Granny” reaching out to this person is a bit lost on her - at one point she wonders aloud, “I wonder whatever happened to that kid? I hope a hero found him…” She has no idea that Shigaraki was something she was partially involved in. The moral of the story is you don’t have to have superpowers to be someone’s hero - sure, Deku saved a lot of people, but how many of them were saved not because of the ability he had but because he actually generally cared about them? Most people don’t need a powerful person, just someone who gives a darn. This isn’t anywhere more obvious than it is with Uraraka and her choice to start Quirk Counseling - this is something Toga had no access to - she was shunned because of her Quirk so no one ever could figure out what would be a way for her to put it to use in a way to benefit both herself and society in general. Every generation has heroes to look for - just as Deku looked up to All Might, now he’s got kids looking up to him, like the one kid at the statue. Everyone has people who are their heroes, and everyone can be a hero to someone else. There’s two rather ironic scenes here - All Might/Deku Vs Deku/Kid but it’s also what he says - the kid asked him if he could be a hero too, like he was? His answer was “You can do it.” Just like Uraraka said the first day of school - “ “Deku” sounds like the Japanese word for “you can do it.” “ Everybody can be someone’s hero if they want to go beyond - just a little bit. And if you start to miss them too much even though everything is finished, you could always start reading the manga. Plus Ultra. 🫡

Because I could provide that while explaining that like for exemple, Shoto's flame on his torso as an adult hero are blue, just like the one used by his brother Dabi/Toya and the form in Y is two path coming together in the end... Same for Uraraka doing quirks counseling in school, because she doens't want kids to live what Toga lived, so be there for the news kids and trying to understand their quirks and how to use them, not be afraid of them and telling them to be "normal" is her way to change that. Also, I needed to go to this finale, to finally understand that the opening, have a lot of reaching hands imagery, this was right under our nose from the begining and it take so much more sense now that we are at the end. About the kid at the start, I could be wrong, but I think the family he was born in was part of this "group" that are against quirks. If you remember, one of their base was raided by the league way back when they didn't have money anymore and before their big clash against the paranormal army (the my vilain academia arc). If I'm right, I will say that he is in a better life now, because his family sucks at the core and they would never have accepted him just because he was born with a quirk, it's sad that he had to live throught this but at least he can be happy and loved now ^^.
