    Best origin/backstory ever

    I caught up to the manga since season 4 and I've always been waiting for this episode to come out, the manga was amazing and gave me goosebumps and chills to how disturbing and great it was, now watching this episode it felt even more disturbing with the voice acting and visuals stepping up the sadness of this origin.

    This was so dark and hard to watch.

    I was not only mind blown by how good this episode turned out to be, but very devastated and shook by how heartbreaking and sad it was, it really was hard to watch at the end.

    It will never be the same again

    I think this is one of the best episodes of the show, the music choice and animation were brilliant and the turn mha has taken, it will never be the same again.

    And the darkness begins!

    The music, the animation and those last 5minutes were so perfect. Probably the most plus ultra dark moment so far in the show.

    The DARKEST episode thus far!

    While this show is not known for getting dark and brutal, this episode might be the exception! I got chills watching this episode! One of the darkest and most tragic backstories to a character! Even though you might have guessed how things played out, you are STILL not prepared!

    The animation and action was great! Soundtrack was also really good!

    This is a villain origin story done RIGHT! You know he is evil, but after watching this, you cant stop feeling sorry for him!

    Season 5 has not been the strongest but this episode will stick with me as one of the best and most memorable of the series!

    Monsters aren't born... they are created!
