My Hero Academia Creator Emotional While Illustrating Key Scene

My Hero Academia Season 7 is nearing its conclusion, and Episode 19 not only moved fans to tears but also brought creator Kohei Horikoshi to tears while illustrating a pivotal scene.

The latest episode of My Hero Academia Season 7, Episode 19, is one of the most emotionally impactful episodes in the entire series. It boasts stunning animation and features a critical moment where Dabi ceases his destructive rampage. Just as Dabi was on the verge of overheating and exploding, the Todoroki family arrived to intervene.

Rei Todoroki employs her Quirk to cool Dabi and regulate his body temperature. Despite her heartfelt apologies and pleas for him to stop, the villain remains unresponsive. At that crucial moment, Shoto rushes to the scene and manages to defeat his elder brother, thanks to the timely assistance from Iida.

This episode illustrates how the young heroes support each other in their journey to become the heroes they aspire to be. Moreover, this episode signifies a meaningful conclusion for Iida’s character, reaffirming his commitment to his principles.
