That's kind of my issue with this episode, it felt like all this development happened off screen and we don't even really get to see it that much. It was hard for me to kind of get invested because everything felt like behind the scenes like I said

[@SakuraAvalon]

@@TimothyGod Yeah, because there's too many characters for a weekly manga. This is why a lot of mangaka just shove characters into the background and leave them there. People will complain how much a character gets no screentime, but never think about how there's just no room. Especially when people will whine if their story cuts away from the main plot or the screentime of the more important characters.

[@TimothyGod]

@@SakuraAvalon exactly. I don't remember if I specifically said it but, help that they spent so much time focusing on specific characters in the middle halves, that they didn't put enough time to everyone else and then decided oh yeah we have a whole cast of people

[@SakuraAvalon]

@@TimothyGod Considering a lot of things Horikoshi had to cut due to editors, not having enough pages to work with in the chapter, and just not having a spot to put things, and the fact that the mangas direction had to take a swift turn, when feedback to him focusing and fleshing out the villains was negative. It probably was a situation of 'I have this cast, but I have no room to do more with them, and when I do put more focus on them, people get upset. I should just do it in quick bursts'

[@TimothyGod]

@@SakuraAvalon I guess it's fair it's just kind of a shame how this series started off so strong and then kind of dipped which kind of caused a lot of issues later

[@alexinator-hh5fe]

If you notice, some of the heteromorphs are carrying the heads of a few CRC members. Which is the group that exists solely to harass and harm heteromorphs that we saw the League of Villains fight back in S6 Episode 13(since the flashback was moved from MVA for some reason). And Spinner's brain is currently overheating because most people(unless they're AFO, Shigaraki, Deku or Gigantomachia) can't handle the stress to the body of having more than one quirk. I guess Nagant also technically had more than one quirk and was relatively fine. But oh well. Oh. And fun fact. In the manga, the game Shigaraki tells Spinner about is League Of Legends. So that's nice. Gamer bros.

[@Janimator-OK]

Spinner is powered by a lifetime of gamer rage

[@Thomas-pc5vq]

Keep in mind that Air Walk isn't that crazy of a Quirk. Having Body Bulk and Scale Mail aren't only powerful powers, but Spinner has two compared to a single one.

[@SakuraAvalon]

@@Janimator-OK That and being forced to be a shut in, as he was attacked for leaving his apartment.

[@ManuelFresh100]

Spinner is pretty much like a Nomu now..can't think for himself

[@dodonut99987]

@@Thomas-pc5vq It's fun to think about. Doc compared Quirks to RAM, with this comparison, I'd figure Quirk's RAM space is determined by how much they modify the human body. Since Spinner has a full-body mutation that's active at all times, I don't think he has much RAM space to begin with. Add on 2 transformation quirks and he seems to have passed his limit. Meanwhile, Nagant had a transformation quirk localized in her arm and hair and was given an emitter quirk activated in her feet, and a dormant bomb quirk. The given quirks don't seem to modify the body much, so she seemed to handle it fine. So if you gave Tsu another quirk, since she has a full body mutation, you'd give her something like Manual's Water quirk which doen't modify her much, and not Ryukyu's Dragon Quirk which would probulby do to her what Spinner is going though.

Is it tho?

[@CallMeSpinner]

HETEROMORPHS RISE UP!!! While it hasn’t been at the forefront exactly, there have been a lot of instances of heteromorph prejudice that we’ve seen before this. Sometimes not even intentionally. Shoto Todoroki called the chief of police a “mutt,” and a member of Class 1-B saying that octopuses creeped her out to Shoji’s face. And then of course there’s the Creature Rejection Cult from last season. It’s a genuine problem that some people, heroes included, can gloss over at times. That leads us to here. Two different perspectives. Should heteromorphs tear down the corrupt system that enabled this kind of prejudice? Or should they prove the prejudice people wrong by becoming a part of that system? Either way, it’s hard to say whether or not that grudge will ever truly disappear. Biggest regret here though? Accepting those quirks from All for One. By manipulating the emotions of those who were wronged by society, he’s using their cause to further his own agenda. And now, the only person who could possibly understand what was going on, can barely speak properly. Ultimately, this cause was part of a bigger picture that speaks to the corruption of hero society, and changing the world for the better...

[@emanuelrodriguez9044]

This was a unexpectedly amazing episode! Shoji’s, Koda’s, Spinner’s, and the rest of the hetromorphs pain and suffering leading them to battle each other on opposing sides illustrates how well My Hero handles complexities in society. This season has been dropping bangers all throughout S7 and I can’t wait to see more with how fantastic it has been! 🐙🦎🐏

[@shauryadeshwal7368]

People can and will complain about too many characters and them not getting enough screentime. But I love how MHA gives cool moments/battle to a large number of cast instead of just Deku/Bakugo/Shoto. Everyone has their own role/part to play in the war. It may not be flashy fighting job like Kaminari or Momo but everyone matters.

I also loved how they shined another light on koda changing te way many people perceived him and tshining a light on the differences between the life endured by heteromorphs born in the city vs the countryside, he did his thing too, they both were SO amazing in thissss, im SO proud of them !

Its crazy when you realize that Shoji is the youngest in class 1-A dealing with all the backlash of him being a mutant.

[@SpectralDynamite]

A reminder that having more than one quirk is not normal and people aren't built to handle it without serious body modifications (like all the Nomu, including Shigaraki and Gigantomachia who are effectively Nomu themselves) or unless your primary quirk allows for use of other quirks (AFO, OFA, Monoma's Copy, Toga's Transform, etc.)... or both in the case of Overhaul. Lady Nagant is built kinda different, so she was able to use Rifle and Air Walk without any issue. Spinner having THREE quirks whilst meeting none of the above conditions? Nah. Mans is tweakin'. It's kind of a miracle his brain ain't completely fried yet. Also "He said, 'Hear me out...'" I'M LISTENING.

One thing I liked the manga getting in was not just crows in Koda's swarm, but Eagles, and bees and seagulls and smaller birds and dragonflies: implying they can from VERY far away and very fast. I DO wish Koda got to use more types of animals besides flying ones in his fights: I get they'd be the only ones that could move fast enough: but maybe a rat swarm. OR in this battle, have some strays arrive a bit latter, all surrounding the angry mob and growling many into submission...

[@teleytubby]

When your argument has a fallacy just yell louder at the cavalry was the strategy here

[@HeroNameTentacole]

Hiding your true appearance, or even true self to avoid scaring people is an unfortunate reality. Truth be told, I think both ways of rising up against oppression and prejudice have their merits. But I guess that’s the hardest choice for a lot of people. Truth be told, I feel really bad for Spinner. While he may not have wanted to be the face of this cause, he definitely cared on some level. But that care he had was physically warped into whatever he is now by All for One. On one hand, I would want to support a movement like this, because truth be told, a lot of people, whether intentionally or not, have hurt heteromorphs, and society has enabled that kind of behavior. But on the other hand, I can’t say that attacking a hospital is really a great way to prove the point that heteromorphs deserve equal treatment. It’s sad to say, but if All for One loses, then many of these people would be thrown in prison and seen as nothing more than criminals to the public. Obviously, I don’t blame them for acting the way they are though. It’s not fair that they have to make the choice to be strong against unwarranted discrimination that was thrown against them. Nothing about any of this is fair. But I guess that’s my main point. How should we choose to rise up against an oppressive world? Time is one of the main things that will tell.

[@silvermatter1739]

I somewhat agree, although I think at least to me violence is an absolute last option cause violence is a very slippery slope that leads into a massive cycle of hatred between the oppressed and the oppressors that gets innocent people hurt. And as we seen their are genuinely good people who don’t think differently about heterotromorphs

[@HeroNameTentacole]

@@silvermatter1739 I do agree with this. While I don't agree with their methods though, some may argue that taking the government down is far more efficient to make a change since it enabled the behavior that caused them to be discriminated against. It's a matter of perspective. Rather than convincing the general public that heteromorphs aren't a threat, it's more of a matter of having enough of the unfair treatment and not playing by the rules anymore. While I do respect the cause, the methods can lead to a lot of things that I would ultimately see as unnecessary.

So just for insight, this episode was originally gonna be a full arc that Horkoshi had planned a while back. Shoji was always gonna be the front and center for it. But alas it got cut short. So the only thing we got were crumbles throughout the story about how bad heteromorphs were treated, enough to make a plot point for it. The anime did elevate this content a lot tho.
