This review might contain SLIGHT SPOILERS from the episode.
The going has gotten rough, folks. EP20 has officially signalled the show’s switch of tone. The feel-good, fun-loving shonen has grown up in front of our eyes to become a dark, chilling, and gripping tale of Good vs Evil.
MY THOUGHTS ABOUT
THE PLOT : This episode had one purpose, to tie everything with one single thread, which was the League of Villains. Suddenly, the events that had no answer since the end of Season 3 were finally getting resolved. This was the episode that the show needed to restore my faith in the show’s plot.
THE CHARACTERS : Making an entire episode based around the LoV was a bold move, and it paid out. We now know the deal between the LoV and the MLA, why Gran Torino had to go to the island to find Gigantamachia, and how All for One got to Tomura.
ART AND MUSIC : It was great. The LoV have their theme that is seldom heard due to them not being in the show for almost two seasons, but hearing it again was fantastic. Overall, pretty good stuff.
FINAL VERDICT
Episode 20 was absolutely fantastic. Thank the heavens that this episode exists because Season 5 was going off a cliff otherwise. This is just the change in tone and direction that the show needed, and I loved it.
