Gifted Anna’s Quirk is a reminder that powerful gifts should be dealt with care and caution. The fact that someone is capable of performing a task does not imply that it ought to be done. It is a charge that applies to everyone, not just heroes as, in the end, everyone will have to learnt to use their abilities proficiently.

Anna was one of those characters whom viewers appreciated for the energy that she brought into the series, while Giulio’s steadfastness, along with his subtle yet powerful character, was equally appreciated. The still dark, yet, thought-provoking villain, Dark Might, is not evil, but rather, completely misconstrued when it comes to notions of heroism.
