My Hero Academia Season 7 Episode 156

Okay, so I totally get what the original post was saying about Gigantomachia's return in *My Hero Academia Season 7 Episode 156*! Like, did anyone else feel a bit conflicted? It’s hard to ignore such a massive presence, literally, but I’ve been thinking a lot about his journey up to this point. For those who might need a refresher, Gigantomachia isn't just some random giant. He's been All For One's most loyal servant for ages, a living, breathing weapon whose sole purpose was to protect his master and, later, Tomura Shigaraki. His sheer power is insane – remember how he just plowed through cities during the Paranormal Liberation War? It took a combined effort of so many heroes, including the likes of Mt. Lady, to even slow him down. Seeing his massive form, with that signature spiky dark hair, bandaged forehead, and those intimidating large, sharp teeth, always signals big trouble. One of the most intense parts of his backstory is definitely *how long did Shigaraki fight Gigantomachia*. It wasn't a quick skirmish! Shigaraki had to battle him for a whole month straight, proving his dominance and worthiness as All For One’s successor. That grueling fight cemented Gigantomachia's loyalty to Shigaraki, making him an even more terrifying threat to the heroes. So, when we see him again, especially in *MHA Season 7 Episode 156*, there's a lot of history and raw power behind him. But here's where it gets interesting, and perhaps what the original poster meant by an 'unearned' character arc. After his defeat and apparent sedation post-war, many of us probably wondered about Gigantomachia's outcome and what kind of memories he'd be left with. The image of him crying, which we've even seen in stills, hints at a deeper emotional turmoil than just brute loyalty. Is it sorrow for his master, regret, or something else entirely? His role in episode 156 MHA definitely stirred up those questions for me. It makes you think about the spectrum of villains in *My Hero Academia*. We have characters like Muscular, who are purely driven by destructive urges, and then we have Gigantomachia, whose motivations are rooted in absolute, unwavering loyalty. It’s a different kind of evil, almost tragic in its devotion. While heroes are busy with their Gym Gamma training, villains like Gigantomachia are reminders of the immense scale of power they're up against. For me, Gigantomachia’s presence in MHA Season 7 is less about a personal character arc and more about reinforcing the sheer, overwhelming power of the villains and the legacy of All For One. Whether you loved or questioned his reappearance, it certainly adds a heavy weight to the ongoing battles. What are your thoughts on his return? Did you feel the emotional impact, or were you hoping for a different direction for this giant?
