SHE REACHED HER!!! My Hero Academia 7x20 "A Girl's Ego" - reaction & review

[@123anaya14]

Something you should take into consideration is that Toga did try and talk to Uraraka about her feelings but Uraraka ultimately rejected them and said she would lock her up cause it's what she deserves and Toga simply cried and ran away (back in season 6) so it makes sense why she is hesitant to open up again to someone who ignored her

[@kelonpie]

This episode got me in my feels like crazy but when Toga asked if she was really cute, I broke and answered yes. I know she was a villain but she was a girl looking for acceptance when her own family didn't give it to her. I just wanted to hold her and tell her it's okay now😢

[@اميرمادرا]

I agree with you here l fell şad for villains they are borken kids have nice day❤

[@kevakla]

Toga's quirk makes her act like a vampire that needs blood, and just like in other media literature where there's a vampire, they can live a life that fits to the norm if only they have an environment or someone that willingly share them blood. So, the image of little Uraraka offering her hands for blood to Toga is very painful because imagine if they met when they were little, Uraraka would willingly offers her blood to make her smile😭 and now I'm crying again because of a what ifs scenario😭😭😭

[@WisdomeSage1989]

You dont see many love rivals interact like this. Its usually because they tend to be on the same side. But this dynamic was so interesting and its sad Toga never meant Ochako or Izuku before things went to hell. We all know Izuku's quirk nerd behind would have made her feel good about her quirk lol

[@themadman4062]

Something extra I love about this plotline is how Uraraka saying how Toga’s smile is so perfect that it makes her jealous is a parallel to Deku when he said Todoroki’s quirk was his not Endeavor’s. Read chapter 39 then 393, it’s even framed the same way.

[@اميرمادرا]

I agree with you here toga and uraraka voice acting hit me iş amzing episode have nice day my friend❤

[@W_Junior]

What if that's just a coincidence? 😅 as a One Piece fan i can assure you that's more common than you might think

[@christinaturner6548]

Tododeku confirmed 😂

[@wolfiesoren2805]

It doesn't matter how much I repeat this episode, IT ALWAYS FILLS ME WITH SUCH SADNESS AND WARMTH😭😭😭😭

[@DetroitSmash]

*If I had a nickel for every time Uraraka made me cry like this, I would have a lot actually. But between this and her speech last season... :,)*

[@LegitLord2000]

The voice actors feel SO different here, especially Toga. I would not mind like a 5-10 year break after the anime is over, and then having a new show with them all as adults. That’d be so awesome

[@jehmarxx2]

1 episode left. Dang it. I can also assure you that it's gonna be a massive cliffhanger.

[@اميرمادرا]

This episode shocked me in the manga. I had decided in my head I knew where the Toga battle was going, and then these chapters came and COMPLETELY threw everything I thought through a loop. Not only was this beyond anything I tried to predict, but it changed the entire dang character for both Toga and Uraraka that perfectly explained the characters. A character that freaked me out but didn't really have much to write home about, and one I genuinely didn't think was possible for me to enjoy more as my 2nd favorite character right behind Izuku Midoriya. Sad Man's Death Parade continues as Toga looks at Touya go down from a distance. Losing yet another person that actually "supported" her. (He cares more than he lets on, but Touya always makes it confusing regardless.) Spare a thought for Horikoshi hand drawing a gajillion Twice duplicates. I seem to recall these chapters being shorter if they had wide shots of the Twice cluster. For obvious reasons. And now this unending, expanding cluster is essentially becoming a monster that reaches and swallows. Jiro, Tsu, and Uraraka caught in no time flat. They get past Pixie-Bob's Earthflow which was their only way to contain the copy storm. But once it got up and over, it could now be expanded to the fullest with no Dabi fire or earth walls stopping it even if it's happening in OTHER places too. Now squashing these heroes is harder than it looks because you can only have so many people on top of you in this situation before their weight is placed on something else rather than the person beneath them, and I don't think the Twice clones breathe oxygen with how they disappear so there might be more air in this area now with Dabi gone easier. That and these characters survive ENORMOUS explosions with little effort, and have crazy durability feats. So there's still hope as overwhelming as all of this is. Uraraka sees Toga looking at the Dabi field and knows it has to be her with all the other duplicates trying to trample the heroes. Which...doesn't match. So her head is completely elsewhere. Uraraka starts actually putting together Toga's mindset knowing how she has thought about affection all this time must be at a genuine shock it's not what she originally thought with her love of Twice not being enough. Uraraka has given genuine thought to Toga's thought process and how events would make her feel based on what she knows about her. The more she sees, the more she knows it's not just a giant ball of crazy and there is emotional logic. Hate and love don't mix. And obsession confuses. Uraraka wants to see what is actually underneath all of this. And with that want, comes empathy. Uraraka is evolving HER emotional understanding as well, and is using more strategies to empathize. Even under high stress, even with the threat of death repeating, even with her friends in danger it's not that she doesn't ignore the danger of her friends, she just doesn't forget ANY of the things she wants. There's a lot of people in pain, but that doesn't bar Toga from that list. And solving HER pain is the best way out. Uraraka is getting more and more advanced with her empath strategies. More and more of Toga's past comes out. One can assume she didn't get help or was beyond it. But they DID get her help. The HELP was the messed up one. Saying something is wrong and assuming everyone knows it is not the same as explaining WHY something is wrong. She is drawn to use her quirk because of her affection, and they just say let's purge this side of who you are. Not to cope, not how to apply, just get rid of it. Seems simple considering what she's drawn to but your quirk and your personality are connected. So it's just such a stupid thing to ask of this little girl who has no comprehension of it all. It's true her desire for blood and her desire for affection are not ENTIRELY one to one. (how can she receive love if everyone she loves dies when she displays?) But it's literally telling her not to love by telling her this. And it's all she wants. And there are many unique displays of love but they also find their uses for SOMEONE. There's compromise with application. She isn't WRONG for wanting love, she literally can't receive. It's a vicious cycle that she can't escape. It's getting harder and harder to see Himiko Toga because she is devoting harder and harder to her hatred. To confuse the heroes as she was confused. Taking on their many forms and stepping further from what she wants in the process. Teamwork is harder, but the further and further she goes, she has less and less. Toga has no one. She has no one to turn to, and no part of herself shows through this hatred. And even with Uraraka trying to be there for her, she doesn't even believe it. Her Reinfield's syndrome is blocking us from seeing genuine abandonment. And Uraraka gets stabbed. Toga needs no identification for herself, she knows what she wants and who she wants to be. She doesn't need a new villain name because she is who she is and won't hide. The other villains changed their names because they evolved into something new. And in a way depending on their paths it hides who they were. Who they are is all that matters and it locks in the time they want to be seen as. Shigaraki respects that but also doesn't need it for himself. He has been a constant. (Even though Tenko is gone so it still applies. He and AFO worked through that identification. Part of why Shigaraki has such a strong sense of self in fact. Which keeps him alive and in command within AFS for now.) For Toga they accept her constant. You want love and you want blood. Seek it out and you be you. No pity, no shame, just go forward and you can stick with us as you look. And now that the heroes are here, they are taking everything away from her. So she is trying to maintain herself and what she has/had. And so long as she is a constant, she can't be taken away from who she is. So then the question is simply this for Uraraka. Who are you? Tell me. This rampage gets more and more terrifying as with every passing second, the doubling doubles in speed. You can see her from miles away and we see so many that literally can't defend themselves from her. Hawks only has his blade and has to defend Tokoyami. Iida has burst engines and can't stand up after his double turbo. And the Todoroki's gave everything to just be together. They put everything that they are on the line and are now all lying in heaps. We've seen them from top down and know their passions well. And the giant swarm of Toga is essentially saying, "What about me?" Uraraka knows it's her own personal drive that keeps her here for Toga. She wants people to smile. And she couldn't understand Toga's happiness. Her obsession. Who she is. But does that mean that she can't exist? Does that mean she can't be happy? Is there a way for her problems to be resolved too or is there no way to coexist? You being so happy when you rarely get to be is still a good thing. So how do we meet in the middle? She wants EVERYONE'S problems to float away. And with that, we FINALLY get something I was prepared for. Uraraka's quirk evolution. Her weight limit is non-existent as she keeps going in one direction. So she doesn't get her vertigo recoil, and she refuses to harm and spin everything out when she has the ability to ground everything and turn everything upside-down as well. She can control gravity, but she just wants to take the weight off of EVERYONE. Just like Shigaraki's 5 finger touch, she can spread, and she creates an atmosphere where things work on HER rules. And she has the full understanding to make it so. (still doesn't take away the many other gravity breaking rules she has and demonstrates, she laughs at physics. This is why this quirk for me is the 3rd strongest in the entire show with what we’ve seen her do over the years. Only once she gets to THIS point, and basically only New Order, Rewind, OFA, and AFO would have a sound advantage on her and 3 of those are tied) And to float away Toga's problems? She offers her blood. Telling her you need love too. You need happiness too. Here's mine. I love my parents and wanted them to live better. I love people and want them safe. I love Izuku Midoriya the boy who showed me selflessness and passion to another level. And you need love, so I'll love you too. So you can have yourself and your peace for yourself. Toga sees it at last, and tells her what she thinks. How people wouldn't let her love. How she couldn't smile. And while the league gets brought down, Uraraka says but I'm still here. I see your smile. I see your love. And its still beautiful like everyone else's. You're human. And because you have so much, that makes your love even more beautiful. And Toga let's go of her hate, and she can finally start healing from the pain of losing Jin...as the power vanishes at last. What an outstanding episode. It is SO great.

what had me about this is that in a world with people who have water bottle for a head that she's weird lol

The Best episodio ❤❤❤❤

"I'm out of tears" Ep 20 SIKE

[@themadman4062]

Toga’s parents could have taught her to fish or hunt and she could have sustained herself off the blood of animals. Instead they choose to degrade and dehumanize her, might be the worst parents in the show.

[@jehmarxx2]

Kinda spoilers but we will see an even worse couple next season.

[@Kaiser_MHA]

You’re right but not just that, the only real issue is consent. And Toga said it this episode - “I couldn’t ask Saito for his blood because he’d say I wasn’t human”. Due to the way her parents treated her & the things they said, Toga couldn’t imagine anyone willingly giving her blood so when she snapped, she thought the only way to satisfy it was to take it by force. If her parents & counsellor had focussed on helping her develop a healthy mindset, things could have been different. Of all the weird & crazy things in MHA’s world, drinking blood is hardly all that crazy if done consensually.

[@kevakla]

​@@Kaiser_MHA I agree with you, if only Toga got taught differently how to control her quirk maybe she won't become the way she is now😔
