But anyway...it's episode 30 this week, "Climax," adapting chapters 54 - 56 to begin volume 7 of the original source manga. As this episode's title explained we got the climax to Young Midoriya, Todoroki, and Iida's struggle against Hero Killer Stain, and boy was it glorious!
It was pretty epic and rewarding to at last see Iida get his act together and honor the name Ingenium. And him breaking Stain's blade,
and carrying out that combo with Deku was very badass!
And speaking of badass...Gran Torino! Glad he didn't let Endeavor upstage him and crushed that Nomu flat!
Unfortunately nobody reacted quickly enough to prevent that other Nomu from abducting Deku though! Nobody that is besides Stain!
And in saving Deku he solidified himself as a complex, grey character who stands by his beliefs. Very interesting stuff, and his conviction made for quite a strong and unsettling visual with him finally passing out still standing on his feet.
And so ends the threat of Stain.
