The latest episode of My Hero Academia Season 5 is finally here and it just brought the stakes up much higher. Episode 101 has teased on the anime's next epic story arc and it's the best one from the manga so far.
The opening sequence for My Hero Academia Season 5 Episode 13 takes us back nine days into the past where Deika City is suddenly destroyed by an unexpected event. Although it is unclear what happened, we see Shigaraki emerging from a building looking bruised but laughing maniacally in victory.
It's a shocking scene for fans who have only been following the anime. After all, the reason behind Shigaraki's state and why he was fighting in the first place was never explained in the episode.
