#ep 135

A thing I overlooked the first 5428 times I saw this - Bakugo is alone. He's not yelling over his shoulder to let the class know Deku is there, he's speaking into the phone.

It's not just that the class found him...

Bakugo found him first.

Izuku's face isn't reflecting his shock of class A discovering him.

How are we doing, everyone? 😅

I won't give spoilers in case anyone's seeing this and hasn't read the episode yet but I'll just say this: I wasn't emotionally prepared for it on so many levels. Like, why? Why did they have to go and rip my heart out like that? 😣😭😭

I know everything will work out but damn, that hurt. This gif best represents my current mental state:

The heavenly rift has been closed, Mo Ran has been gravely wounded, and Chu Wanning has walked away without so much as a backward glance. Mo Ran falls unconscious and comes to as someone is calling his name.

Notes:

"Like the almond flowers in Jiangnan" - I suppose this means very elegant and beautiful.

(more theories after the cut)

yosaku and johnny! my boys are back! and they're so young and naive!

i'm not sure if this is because it's a flashback or what, but zoro looks different here. it's the eyes, eyebrows, and bags under his eyes that change his mood a lot in this closeup specifically.

zoro always has been, and always will be, a fuckin badass. but i also kinda dig the other guy's design too. and his sword looks sick as fuck.

great frame. love the split focus.

i love this little scene because it once again drives home the incredibly important point that zoro isn't in it for the glory or the fame at all. he just wants to get stronger, and bounty hunting is just a vehicle that will take him to mihawk.

unfortunate name. but better than the ball brothers. or the cock commandos. or the nutsack nutters. or the

big guy getting hit with a very tiny hammer is always funny.

sometimes being brave is a conscious choice. johnny gets that.

again, good little backstory here; zoro has always been reckless.

rare sorrowful/ repentant zoro moment.

THOSE ARE MY FUCKING BOYS RIGHT THERE! YOU DO IT JOHNNY AND YOSAKU!!!!!

UGH this gave me chills! the wind and dush rushing, zoro stopping him one-handed? the line? zoro my beloved stop, you can only be SO COOL!

i wonder why oda moved away from zoro having the bandanna as much lately. zoro looks cool with it. i guess the green hair is cooler though, and more iconic.

as long as i live, i will NEVER get tired of zoro doing this epic cool shit.

this is so funny, but i kinda get what he's going for here.

holy shxt siluria's here??

I didn't expect her to actually become a court mage huh- pleasantly surprised to see her again, and their little moment here is so cute!!

but also her being there in the refrigeration room is worrisome because you know. she was supposed to die in the novel... and the whole restoration of fate phenomenon...
