Himiko stares at the wreckage from Dabi’s botched explosion, wondering if he at least got to laugh before it all went wrong. As she channels more energy into Sad Man’s Death Parade, the Twice Doubles tighten their grip on Earphone Jack, Froppy, and Uravity, forcing the Pro Heroes to fight off the wave of clones flooding the Gunga Mountain Villa ruins.
Glancing over at Dabi’s spot, she wonders again if he’s still alive. Just then, Uravity manages to break free, using her Spacewalk to latch onto Himiko, trying to reach her. But Himiko shuts her out cold, saying it’s too late for words to make any difference.
In that moment, Uravity notices Himiko’s tears and starts to understand why Himiko can’t access the League members’ Quirks through her Doubles. Her “pure” love is tainted by anger and malice. The realization enrages Himiko—her Twice disguise melts slightly, showing part of her real face as she yanks Froppy from the mob, a knife in hand. She tells Uravity she knows nothing about her and had it easy, following society’s rules without a fight.
As she raises the knife toward Froppy, memories flood her mind: her dad’s harsh slap when he found her drinking the blood of a sparrow, assuming she’d killed it for fun. A young Himiko sobbed, trying to explain she’d found it like that. Next, Quirk Counseling, where a counselor dismissed her instincts as “abnormal” and promised to “correct” her, never really listening to who she was.
Sad Man’s Legion
In the present, Uravity denies Himiko’s assumptions and activates her Quirk, pushing Himiko off. Himiko fires back, saying that no matter how sweetly Uravity tries to talk, she’ll still end up locking her up or even killing her—just like Hawks did with Twice. To her, this is a battle for survival. Ochaco tells her it’s the same for her. Himiko accuses Uravity of either pitying her or acting out of ego, and if it’s ego, then she has to die.
Himiko unleashes Sad Man’s Legion, her clones multiplying until they cover the whole city and begin to stretch up toward the sky, with no sign of stopping. A reporter, watching from above, stares in horror as she recalls the rumored Quirk Singularity Doomsday Theory. She worries it may have just come true, with one girl’s emotions potentially rewriting the world.
Uravity counters by making every Twice clone float with her Quirk, combining it with Gunhead Martial Arts. Himiko isn’t worried, noting that Zero Gravity doesn’t hurt them. But Uravity insists her power isn’t meant to harm anyone, though she begins vomiting from the effort of overusing it.
Uravity admits that while she can’t ignore Himiko’s murders, that doesn’t stop her from wanting to understand her feelings and what’s driving her. She remembers their fight during the Paranormal Liberation War, how something Himiko said back then made her look sad. Himiko floods her with more clones, insisting that Uravity’s the sad one. Uravity just nods, saying it’s part of her too.
Himiko’s lovely smile
As they and the other Heroes begin floating down, Himiko starts explaining how easily she falls in love. It doesn’t matter if they’re boys, girls, Villains, Heroes—or even human. For her, it’s easy because each one of them has beautiful blood inside. She used to be told to stop smiling about it, and that only made her grow jealous of everyone around her.
Then she tells Uravity why she’s drawn to Izuku. He reminds her of a boy she liked back in middle school. She never asked that boy for his blood, though, because she was afraid he’d call her a freak, that he wouldn’t think she was cute—just like she feels Izuku and Uravity do. She joined the League of Villains because of that, hoping for a life where she could just be herself.
Uravity, crying now, apologizes for not noticing her pain sooner. Meanwhile, Himiko’s transformation into Twice starts to melt away, showing that her time with his blood is running out. The rest of the clones begin disappearing one by one.
Conclusion
If I’m being honest I’ve never cared for the Himiko/Uravity plot point. It’s confusing. I have no idea what Himiko is talking about and I simply don’t care. Why does Uravity have sympathy for her? Himiko has tried to kill her and her friends. She has successfully killed a number of heroes. I get that Himiko has suffered due to the nature of her Quirk but Uravity hasn’t spent enough time with her to justify this level of concern in my opinion.
