My Hero Academia Saison 2 Episode 22 Vostfr

Okay, real talk. We need to discuss something vital to the My Hero Academia universe. It's about Season 2, specifically Episode 22. And yeah, it's the Vostfr version we're diving into. Are you ready for some slightly controversial opinions?

I'm just going to say it. This episode? Criminally underrated! Everyone fawns over the Sports Festival arc. And rightfully so! But this one's a gem often overlooked.

Stain: The Hero Killer, Seriously?

Let's talk about Stain. He's intense, that's for sure. Is he totally off his rocker? Absolutely. But you can't deny his conviction.

He’s out there judging heroes. Holding them to some crazy high standard. And some points? He’s actually got a point. (Don't @ me!).

He’s not exactly a role model. But he did shake up the whole hero world. Now everyone's questioning everything. Way to go, Stain?

The "Gran Torino Kicks Butt" Appreciation Section

Gran Torino shows up! And he is a tiny, speedy, powerful ball of fury! I love this character.

He’s the master. He trained All Might, for crying out loud! Plus, he's a total grandpa. Imagine having him as your mentor!

Watching him go toe-to-toe with Stain? Pure adrenaline. Every single kick and smackdown is gold.

Midoriya's Learning Curve... Still Steeper Than a Mountain

Let’s be honest. Izuku Midoriya is still figuring things out. He’s got One For All. It's powerful, but he keeps breaking his bones!

He gets a lot of flak for not mastering it sooner. But cut him some slack! That power is insane. Growing pains are expected.

I will say, his determination is through the roof. He never gives up, even when his arms are in slings. Respect.

Vostfr: A Blessing in Disguise?

Now, the Vostfr version. Some people hate subtitles. I get it.

But hear me out. Watching the episode in the original Japanese? It adds something. You hear the raw emotion in the voice acting.

Sometimes, the subtitles even give you a little extra nuance. Little cultural stuff that doesn't quite translate directly. So, I'm a fan.

Unpopular Opinion Time: Shigaraki is... Intriguing?

Okay, this is where I might lose some of you. Shigaraki. He's creepy, he's villainous. I'm not excusing him.

But something about his backstory? The whole hands thing? There's a tragic story there. It draws you in.

He's not just some mustache-twirling bad guy. There's a broken human in there somewhere. That makes him a compelling villain. Don’t you think?

Episode 22: A Solid Foundation

All in all, Episode 22 does a lot of heavy lifting. It sets up future conflicts. It develops key characters.

It shows us the consequences of Stain's actions. And it makes us think about what it really means to be a hero.

So, next time you're rewatching My Hero Academia, give this episode some love. Maybe you'll see what I see. It’s more than just a filler episode!

Plus Ultra! Even for seemingly less popular episodes.
