Alright, heroes and heroines! Let's dive into the English dub of My Hero Academia episode 87, "Revival Party." Forget complicated villain plots for a minute; this episode is all about rebuilding, both literally and emotionally.
Rebuilding Bridges (and Buildings!)
The aftermath of the Paranormal Liberation War is hitting hard. We're talking rubble everywhere, people displaced, and the overall vibe is…bleak. Seeing the city in such a state of disrepair is a real punch to the gut.
But, hey, it's not all doom and gloom! This episode focuses on the recovery process. And who better to lead the charge than our aspiring heroes at U.A. High?
Watching them help with the cleanup, offering a hand to the victims, and just generally trying to put a smile on people's faces is truly heartwarming.
Aizawa's Tough Love (With a Hint of Softness)
Aizawa-sensei, bless his perpetually tired soul, is dealing with some heavy stuff. He's still grappling with the fallout of everything that's happened, especially concerning Shigaraki and All For One.
He's as strict as ever, pushing the students to their limits, but you can see a deep-seated concern underneath that gruff exterior. It’s like he’s trying to prepare them for the even tougher battles to come.
Plus, the scene where he’s essentially strong-arming the Hero Public Safety Commission into giving the students more freedom? Classic Aizawa, and secretly a softie at heart.
Class 1-A: Rising to the Occasion
This episode really lets Class 1-A shine. We see them using their Quirks to help in practical ways, whether it's Momo creating supplies or Kirishima using his hardening to clear debris.
It’s not just about flashy battles; it’s about using their powers to make a real difference in people's lives. They're not just training to be heroes; they're *being* heroes, right now.
And let’s not forget the little moments of levity. Watching them interact with the civilians, offering encouragement and just being genuinely kind, really underscores the kind of heroes they're striving to be.
Bakugo: Surprisingly... Helpful?
Okay, let's be honest. Bakugo being helpful isn't exactly a common occurrence. But even *he* pitches in, albeit with his usual grumbling and explosive energy.
It's a subtle change, but it's there. He’s realizing that being a hero isn't just about being the strongest; it's about protecting people and contributing to something bigger than himself.
The way he focuses his intense energy into rebuilding? Honestly, it's kind of inspiring, even if he'd rather be anywhere else.
The Seeds of Hope
Episode 87 might not be the most action-packed, but it's arguably one of the most important. It's a reminder that even in the darkest of times, hope can still bloom.
Seeing Class 1-A step up and help their community is a powerful symbol. It's a sign that the next generation of heroes is ready to face whatever challenges come their way.
So, while the world of My Hero Academia is still facing immense challenges, this episode offers a glimpse of light. It's a promise that even after everything, they will rebuild, they will recover, and they will rise again.
