MHA’s Most Underrated Duo Finally Get Their Moment in Season 8 Premiere

by

Season 8, which is being presented as the final season, starts with a small team of heroes relying heavily on cooperation. We see All Might facing off against All For One in a desperate attempt to maintain his image as the Symbol of Peace, while Class 1-A works together to escape from the surprisingly floral villain, Kunieda. I was really impressed to see Yuga Aoyama and Toru Hagakure team up – their fight was memorable and showcased what makes the Quirk-based battles in *My Hero Academia* so unique, truly getting to the heart of the combat system.

The Pro Heroes are barely holding on, just managing to keep Tomura Shigaraki busy long enough for Deku to try and win. In the final arc of *My Hero Academia*, everyone needs to work together and think outside the box. The heroes and their students will only have a chance if they can catch the villains off guard, which means Aoyama and Hagakure need to be more inventive than ever before.

My Hero Academia Season 8 Unveils a Stunning New Ultimate Attack

Powerful, all-out attacks called Ultimate Moves have long been a key part of battles in *My Hero Academia*, with both heroes and villains using them to turn the tide. As Season 8 begins, it’s the ideal moment for UA students to develop their own innovative Ultimate Moves, especially during this critical time. With the emergence of Kunieda, a new villain with a plant-based Quirk, Yuga and Toru will need to think outside the box to overcome the challenges ahead.

During the exciting first battle of the final *My Hero Academia* season, Aoyama and Hagakure unveiled a powerful new team attack against Kunieda. Yuga, determined to make amends for his past mistakes, focused on using his Navel Laser and heroic spirit. He combined his power with Toru, who used her invisibility to redirect Yuga’s laser in a move called Warp Refraction: Navel Laser. The incredibly strong combination quickly defeated Kunieda and his plant-based attacks, bringing relief to the students of UA High.

This team-up is especially meaningful because it focuses on repairing the damaged friendship between Toru and Yuga after the shocking reveal of a traitor in Season 7. Their relationship as classmates suffered, but they quickly began to rebuild it through incredible teamwork. Creating their new Ultimate Move, Warp Refraction: Navel Laser, showed they still trusted each other, even after Yuga’s past actions. This powerful combo clearly demonstrates that their friendship is strong enough to overcome any betrayal.

MHA’s Final Season Debut Made Two Fan-Favorite Heroes Even More Powerful

This new combination also really highlights how Yuga and Toru have developed, both in terms of their abilities and as characters. While they’re classmates with incredibly strong and smart students like Shoto Todoroki and Momo Yaoyorozu in Class 1-A, the students aren’t all on the same level. Most of them have gotten stronger since the beginning of *My Hero Academia*, but Yuga and Toru haven’t shown as much progress compared to students like Deku, Bakugo, Shoto, and Fumikage. Toru seemed to have reached a limit with her Invisibility Quirk, only improving with a minor move called Warp Refraction: Say Cheese!. Yuga hasn’t demonstrated much growth with his Quirk either.

As a huge fan of *My Hero Academia*, I’m really excited about Season 8 – it feels like a last chance for some characters to truly step up! And I loved seeing Yuga and Toru finally shine when things got really tough. What *really* got me was how they didn’t just get stronger on their own, but developed a whole new combo attack *together*. We’ve seen this happen a few times in the series, and it’s just so cool – the power of teamwork and clever Quirk combinations letting heroes exceed their limits. Honestly, it’s a perfect way for some of Class 1-A’s students who are still developing to quickly level up and become even more amazing heroes!

Yuga was having trouble improving his Navel Laser, and he was still mastering the Quirk All For One had given him. Toru’s only ability, Warp Refraction: Say Cheese!, wasn’t adding much to their teamwork. Now, Yuga and Toru have combined their Quirks to create Warp Refraction: Navel Laser – a powerful move that helped them defeat Kunieda and could be valuable in future battles. Fans are already imagining they’ll continue to use this effective combination, and maybe even develop new ones, throughout their time at UA High and beyond.

Ultimate Moves Will Always Be My Hero Academia’s Specialty

The recent team attack, Warp Refraction: Navel Laser, is a fresh development in *My Hero Academia*, but the idea of heroes working together isn’t new. In fact, teamwork is a highlight of the series – especially when it comes to battles using Quirks. Like many action anime, *My Hero Academia* shows characters like Deku and Bakugo constantly improving and inventing new moves on their own. However, the series truly shines when heroes combine their abilities, creating combos that are more powerful than individual attacks. For Yuga and Toru, simply fighting alongside each other isn’t enough; they need to truly *become* a single unit, resulting in their combined attack, Warp Refraction: Navel Laser.

While many anime feature impressive fight combinations, *My Hero Academia* does this particularly well, and with increasing impact. The series also highlights that not all superpowers are designed for solo combat; some are naturally better suited for defense or everyday tasks and aren’t very strong on their own. The students at UA High must work together to maximize each other’s abilities and discover new strategies, so much so that some characters wouldn’t even attempt to fight without a specific teammate.

Throughout the series, we’ve seen students create powerful team attacks – like Uraraka and Tsuyu’s Meteor Fafrotskies, and Shoto and Momo combining their abilities to trap Eraser Head. Shoto and Inasa even surprised Gang Orca by working together to create a powerful blast of hot wind. Now, Yuga and Toru have a chance to prove that even seemingly weak Quirks can be crucial in a great combination. This means villains like Kunieda shouldn’t make the mistake of underestimating anyone, just because a hero like Yuga appears to be weak on their own.
