My Hero Academia Episode 158: A Girl`s Ego

While heroes struggle against the endless Twice doubles flooding Gunga Mountain Villa, the episode focuses on **Ochaco Uraraka** reaching **Himiko Toga** and trying to talk to her instead of simply fighting her.

The Twice clones, created through Toga’s use of **Transform** after taking Twice’s blood, overwhelm the Pro Heroes and begin spreading through the ruined battlefield. Toga, watching the chaos, wonders whether Dabi was able to laugh or smile as he always talked about, and she keeps pouring her feelings into the “Sad Man’s Death Parade” despite the collapse around her. Uraraka manages to break through the swarm and grab hold of Toga using her own movement ability, but Toga refuses to listen and says it is too late for any attempt at understanding her.

Toga reveals that **Froppy** is being held at knifepoint by the doubles, raising the stakes of the confrontation. As Uraraka continues speaking to her, she realizes that Toga cannot fully draw out the other League members’ Quirks through the doubles she created, because Toga’s love has become mixed with malice rather than being pure admiration. This revelation enrages Toga, and part of her real face briefly shows through the Twice disguise as she reacts emotionally and pulls the restrained Froppy forward as a threat.

The episode then shifts into Toga’s childhood, showing that she was treated as abnormal because of her Quirk and was pressured by her parents to become “normal,” which only deepened her isolation. Back in the present, Uraraka keeps trying to reach her and pulls Toga in close, but Toga stabs Uraraka in the stomach. Severely wounded and bleeding heavily, Uraraka still refuses to stop talking, and she offers Toga her blood while telling her she wants to discuss love with her.

That emotional appeal triggers **Uraraka’s Quirk awakening**: the floating effect spreads across the battlefield, lifting the doubles and the heroes into the air. Uraraka, close to death, tells Toga that she has the cutest smile in the world, and Toga, crying, finally smiles back. As Toga breaks down emotionally, the Twice doubles begin to disappear.
