My Hero Academia Bids Farewell to One Favorite With Teary Goodbye

My Hero Academia has reached an intense turning point in the anime’s sixth season, and the newest episode is really getting heartbreaking with a bitter farewell between some surprising characters! The sixth season of the series is making the most of all the build up from the fifth season and has launched into a full war between the heroes and the Paranormal Liberation Front. This has already resulted in some big moments for the heroes as they wage their assault on the villains’ base, but also got taken to a bloody new level with the latest episode raising the stakes.

The newest episode of the series saw Hawks enact his secret mission for the heroes’ assault on the Paranormal Liberation Front base, and it’s revealed that he actually wanted to take out Twice because the villain’s ability would turn the tide of the battle back in the villains’ favor. When his first initial ploy to take him into custody didn’t work out, he ended up killing Twice. Thus it leads to a heartbreaking moment in which Twice uses his final moments to actually tell Himiko Toga goodbye: 

Episode 116 of My Hero Academia (and the third episode of the sixth season overall) sees Twice ultimately killed by Hawks, but he is able to get one final double out as he bleeds to death on the ground. Wanting to return the hanker chief that Toga had lent him before, his double saves Toga and Mr. Compress from a hero who had captured them. But it was a bittersweet reunion as Toga is immediately able to figure out that something is wrong with this double. It begins falling apart as Twice dies. 

He wanted to go all out for his friends one last time, and unfortunately will no longer be a part of the series. Apologizing to her for not being able to do more, Toga hugs Twice and thanks him for saving her anyway. He might have considered himself unlucky for his life to this point (and wants Hawks to die a horrible death as a result), but Twice was able to die happy knowing for a brief time that he had found others who loved him.
