The My Hero Academia anime is currently adapting major scenes from the manga, and one moment in the latest episode took viewers by surprise.

Although the My Hero Academia manga concluded over the summer, the anime continues to captivate audiences with Season 7, which showcases the initial half of the significant battle against Shigaraki and All For One, featuring Deku and Class 1-A facing off against the formidable villains.

Numerous heroes and villains take their shots at the antagonist, including Tokoyami, whose Dark Shadow Quirk has the potential to unleash chaos. While we don’t reach that level, a humorous moment from the manga is adapted in this episode.
