That's one thing I noticed about AFO, he claims to be done with All Might, but he's still undermining all his catchphrases at every turn. Can't help but be petty I guess
I thought Bakugo was talking All Might's smile because he led the sentence with "Do you think you're All Might?". Remember All Might always smile when he's Heroing.
It was a joke how some people thought Bakugo was gonna be the Sasuke of the group before, but more unexpectedly in a different way, it turned out to be Deku. lol
@Felipe Miyawaki 💌 Well that's not even fitting as troll comment since Naruto was with Hinata and Sasuke with Sakura. lol Uraraka is more like Hinata than Sakura. They have the same bday too.
4:30 this part killed me right here, because All Might realized this is what Nighteye was trying to warn him about: that he should rest to save his energy, but now he’s seeing himself through Deku… that load of regret on top of what’s happening in that scene kicks in for All Might 😢 Also kind of crazy that it was a good thing that Bakugo knows how both Izuku and All Might are like because he knows that leaving these two alone will result in All Might not being able to stop Deku from doing any more reckless things that’ll mess him up badly…
True he know power can drain a person's heart down to darkness and anger , Looking back on it now he never had any true friends or love one who he could protect or save, Well maybe Nana his master is the love of his life and friend he wish to protect in the past.
Manga spoilers for next ep to proves your a*s wrong In the If momo used cyanide instead of sleeping gas, deku would kick the bucket. Literally danger sense didn't activate cuz his friend didn't want to hurt him also. And just like deku all of them are exhausted frol the war. And bakugo is half dead.
@@denji3397 SPOILERS how is Bakugo half dead in the next episode, i think you are confusing manga chapters bro, and also, all of them are no where near as tired as Deku
Yeah, besides the fact he's just controlled by rage, out for revenge against AFO. He has literally been hunted twice by assassins with multiple quirks that could fuck up any of his friends. So he decided on the better option. (I don't remember correctly but I'm pretty sure he just tryna dip, not beat em up.)
No need to be a manga reader. Give them a slap on the way out, rather than have them butchered as they stand between you and an assassin they can't even face. It's literally the "All Might vs AFO" fight situation, where Bakugo was literally just in the way. The class is several steps beneath Deku's power level and a few steps below the assassins after him.
You just feel the rage, exhaustion and paranoia coming deku. After seeing just how far AFO will go, he is completely driven to keep others away from him out of fear of losing them.
Yeah, the last time deku tried to reach out and ask for the help of someone, it literally blew up on his face. All for One actually menaged to weaponize talk no jutsu, thats how deku became so paranoid hes a shounen main character, poor guy 🤣
@Evgen Khersonets Well I wouldn't say Eren is a hero (even if he is doing it for his friends partially, he is also doing it for himself for freedom, as he had child glee during the rumbling too).

RIGHT I agree with you! Mischaracterization is a bit annoying but I guess some people only watch for "hype" moments lol. Edit: yeah can't blame those who forget tbh. The story often does have a lot of call backs, even if it's really small.
A thing to respect is in the beginning Mt Lady would’ve been one of the prime examples of a fake hero by stain but now when there’s almost no hope she’s one of the top heroes still left. Major character development
A lot of people think that this Deku is "cool" and that he should always be this way. But he's literally overworking himself, constantly on the move, super anxious and depressed, filthy, driving his body into the grave at Mach speed. And to top it all off, he's doing exactly what All For One predicted he would do. By creating a scenario where Tomura can find Izuku at all times, he's isolated himself to protect everyone. One of the things he thought during his fight with Shigaraki constantly was, "Don't be the useless Izuku who can't save anyone". He has the fear that if he isn't saving anyone that he's useless. His sense of self-doubt is through the roof that he's not thinking about his own worth. Seeing Bakugo(Deku's closest friend), Ochako, and Iida(his first friends in UA) being the ones to lead the charge to find him is so nice. Iida knows what it's like to charge forward at something with all your might, even if it's harmful and dangerous. He did that with Stain. Ochako knows that sometimes the people who save people need to be saved themselves and told they can rest. And Bakugo knows that Deku only finds self-worth when he's saving people and doesn't think about his own safety. And they all want to assure him that while he is needed, he also needs to know he can rest.
It honestly pisses me off how people think this is where deku peaked, when it’s the complete opposite. People that believe literally have no comprehension
This actually makes me appreciate Horikoshi's writing more. Because the way people feel has a logic if we go deep into the shonen genre.

[Eta: I hope people like what comes next.] ☘︎
I love when people realize the turmoil deku goes through in this arc. All for One read him like a book to the point where he weaponized Deku's talk no jutsu against him. People talk about how baddass deku looks or how he would win a fight against 1A, like fighting them even in an evasive and indirect way wasnt the most painfull thing he did. He's in shambles to the point where a random villain was going to cap him in the worst way possible for a hero, being jumped by a crowd of civillians... All because he got to the point where the fatigue, thirst, hunger, lack of sleep and open wounds got him to the point where could barely move and almost falling asleep in the midle of combat
@Normadus except for the fact that he's so tired he can't even see straight. They wouldn't stand a chance if he was at full strength, but he's running on fumes right now.
@@Normadus Except bro literally hasn’t slept or ate in days and is barely standing with black whip to assist him. I would say more but I’m a manga reader so I won’t say anything till next episode
@@SakuroAlex Ik but I’m talking about danger sense in general. A lot of reactors thought all might was in danger but still never mentioned danger sense. It shows up inconsistently and even in this episode when deku jumps away a lot it’s in the direction of danger that he sense but it doesn’t show up on screen for some reason
5:09 That right there is storytelling at it's finest. When Deku first met All Might on the rooftop, Deku had the resolve to catch up and grab onto his leg before All Might could jump off. Here. All Might can't even stay on his feet trying to grasp Deku. It's a beautiful image of how the mighty (no pun intended) have fallen and the torch has been passed on. There's no going back to the way things were.
To Lupa and Sheera being confused why he wants to scrap with his friends. It's a pretty common trope we've seen in other anime... Deku wants revenge on All for One, to him- AFO is the reason everything is going wrong. And as usual, since he is so vengeful and tired at the moment too. He's kinda going auto-pilot/One objective mode where that's the only thing he's focusing on. (and hey, mfs showed up in their hero costumes there is only one thing you can expect)
I just want to say all VAs are in for the kill this season especially Daiki. Man his voice went from sounding like a fluffy marshmallow in season 1 to a villainous one in this season. Being friends with Eren in MHA worked well 😜
Lupa basically described Deku as the "Damn, bitch, you live like this?" meme with Max and Roxanne from Goofy Movie and the way I laughed when I put two and two together...man. I'm surprised I didn't wake my neighbors lmao.
i love how as the fight goes on and deku just pushed forward he looks more and more like a monster. the mask look like jaws and the gloves become claws
Gotta say, I do love that any reaction channel always sees Stain in that shot and immediately jumps to the conclusion that he'll kill All Might. Guys. All Might is literally the posterboy hero that Stain WANTS. He goes after heroes that AREN'T like him. If anything Stain would just want a long talk with All Might here; there's no violence between these two.
I wanted to make this comment EXCLUSIVELY about Deku and what we saw with the kids. Because there is some DEEP stuff this episode. Now it’s time to talk about what I’ve been dancing around this whole arc. I’ve continuously said look at Deku’s eyes. How they lose light each passing episode and become cold. This is a state I am INCREDIBLY familiar with. I call it “exhausted empathy.” This is a strain only Empaths feel. Empaths get to a point where their empathy is working 24/7/365 depending on their emotional experiences. Constantly feeling the emotions of others. And with that comes a different brand of functioning. Which I call the brick backpack. From my perspective, Empaths wear a backpack no one else wears. And it’s empty for a time. But eventually with experience, people start throwing emotional bricks at you. Whether they want to or not. Suppressed feelings count. What you don’t say counts. An Empath will have to catch each brick and decide whether they want it in their backpack to store and help the person they carry that brick for, or if they don’t need it and let it go. If you overstuff, THIS occurs. Empaths don’t breakdown like most people. Rather than getting an explosion of anger or sadness, an empath will become emotionless. It’s like getting trapped inside your own head. This state is AWFUL and that’s putting it INCREDIBLY mildly. Once the overstuff occurs, the empath will cease to be able to tell where each brick they’ve stored comes from. They can’t tell what emotions come from which person and it all collapses in an unsortable gray area. Your mind and your body no longer cooperate. It’s just fumes. But the empath ability will NOT shut off here. People still throw bricks, and we can’t stop it. All you can do is take it. But you’re so out of it, you’ll just assume that it’s YOUR emotion. And I consider this the worst emotional strain a person can feel because…well. Among the feelings that can get thrown our way are depression, anxiety, PTSD, and…s*icidal thoughts. Now take what I’ve said…and apply it to Deku across the war arc. Across the Todoroki backstory episodes. Across the accepting of the burdens of OFA from the 8 holders. The Muscular fight, the Lady Nagant Fight. And now AFO’s speech and MORE assassins. And you have yourself a pain that FAR surpasses not eating, not sleeping, not stopping days on end. Probably WEEKS. LOOK HOW SKINNY DEKU IS. Deku is in absolute TURMOIL. If you showed this kid a mirror. He wouldn’t know who is looking back. And worst of all, once this state is reached, there is only one way out. Someone has to know the core of your being and have your complete trust. If they don’t, all they do is continue the cycle of ever growing burden. Which leads us to Class A. Who among them do you think has that trust? I’ll say this up front. If you believe it’s Bakugo, you chose the WORST choice. BAR NONE. Bakugo if anything may have caused this state when he was Deku’s dedicated bully. What Bakugo brings to this table is he knows the mission, he knows Deku’s thoughts on the mission, and he knows how Deku would act about it. NONE of those things help Deku other than physical assistance. And as we’ve seen, that is NOT what Deku needs. This isn’t Bakugo at his most helpful, this is Bakugo at what I consider his MEANEST. He announces to the whole CLASS he knows Deku better than anyone while announcing he’s CRAZY. I won’t deny Bakugo is ABSOLUTELY concerned, but this is where the posturing STOPS. This is where you STOP doing things like this because all it causes is harm. And what does he say to Deku when he sees him? “Well if it isn’t his majesty OFA. Tell me, can you smile right now?” It doesn’t matter if the intentions of that statement are warranted or how good the one liner is, you don’t BELITTLE those in a breakdown. This is NOTHING but a demonstration that Bakugo understands the mission and how Deku perceives the mission. But if you look at ANYTHING other than this mission, Bakugo and Deku STILL do not get along in the SLIGHTEST. Their personalities do NOT mesh at all. And Deku is the one who does all the reaching to maintain the peace between the two. This is where BAKUGO has to. And when Deku is like this, Bakugo’s statements could cause LITERAL HEARTBREAK. Another burden to carry. (If not the last burden. Which…I can’t say for certain but it REALLY could come down to that.) I’m sorry I got so real, but this is NOT a situation people can take lightly. This HAPPENS. If you know an empath, and they are completely emotionless, THIS is what you could be looking at. And you very well might have to speak up because an empath is NOT able to break free themselves. The portrayal of Deku’s state is PERFECT. I’ll also say to those that noticed, I did recover from this myself. And I’m not in this state. But I had JUST recovered when this arc came out in manga and that’s why it’s so special to me. Deku is my favorite fictional character for a reason.
I never thought that I would see someone else actually dig into Deku's situation so accurately, THANK YOU for writing this out. This shit is real (although to an absurd fictional degree) and can actually fuck you up for a long time if you don't have connections to rely on. I understand that Bakugo might be doing his best to drag Deku back to reality, but he doesn't understand that right now, in Deku's head, reality is fractured and blurred beyond comprehension. This is the time for scalding shower, nice soft blankets, and some FUCKIN THERAPY.
What a episode. I said this before but just sadness for All Might. To think you're biggest fan and the person who looked up to you for so long, who always stood behind you and looked at your back, he's the one now in front and you're looking at his back. This only proves how serious the situation is if your biggest fan is the one pushing away (for understandable reasons)
On a serious note, this is Deku at his lowest. A lot of people like this persona of him, but in reality, he is running on fumes. It's incredibly sad that he feels he can't rely on anyone but himself because he's scared of getting everyone else hurt for his sake....which is exactly what created the All Might problem in the first place.
It's like what bakugou said, they basically are the same. They put others before themselves to the extreme. While that's definitely heroic and valiant, it's also draining and unstable. It's a double-edged sword.
I like deku's custome and maturity growth. But I don't the fact that he was basically exhausting himself, he's paranoid about AFO. He's obsessed with trying to find him before causes more destruction.
I remember when people were all hype about how "hard" Deku was and couldn't fathom why his friends even showed up. I'm like "the boy is tired, unhinged and probably smells like last month."
To Sheeras point, All Mights vestige was becoming more solid and colored in because he was getting closer to death. He still has to deal with the terrible wound from Atomic Chainsaw which was the cause of him not being able to stay in All Might form for long periods of time and is now the reason why he can’t use it at all.
I see both sides (especially given what I know from manga but won't get into all that ) cause on one hand obviously he needs food and rest and support. But from Deku's pov he knows he's the main target and at this point his his friends' strength really can't even compare to his own tbh. He sees himself as a danger to them (which technically he is) but still for his own well being, and for his friends that love him and don't want to see him go through this, he needs help.
💯 Problem is he believes no one can help him, but instead only be a hindrance. And not just his friends, but even the Top Heroes. Its possible at this point he, subconsciously, made himself believe that nobody in the world, much less all of Japan, can help him. Plus, he STRONGLY desires to rescue/save everyone (in the world) from AFO and Shigaraki. Simply telling him to take a break isn't going to get him to stop.
7:19 this scene has the exact same vibe as ep 7 s4 of bungo stray dogs. Hero(es) is in huge trouble. Screen cut to black. A voice. A single point attack from the sky that saves the hero. Return of an angry gremlin character everyone misses here to save the day.
Hope someone points out the shout-outs in this episode...the line from all for one about coming after deku, is a mirroring of when all might told deku that it's his turn after saving bakugo. And they already called the other one when deku left and told him to say out of it
Loved this episode and was waiting on your reaction, I like this arc even though it could’ve been a bit longer it definitely did a good job of showing how much stuff Deku has weighing on him and him trying to handle the mess of dealing with afo and ofa, and I liked how Deku saw more of the ugly side of the society, basically learning there is a grey side not just black and white. It wasn’t a development arc cause Deku has much of that but an arc of showing how this situation has affected him and showing how he feels, and also was saying look you don’t need to carry this burden alone we got you so stop being so reckless for us cause you’re just stressing more, cause that is deku’s ultimate flaw he cares more for others than him self (reckless sometimes) sorry for the long talk just my thoughts.of course there’s other stuff too aswell.

All because he got to the point where the fatigue, thirst, hunger, lack of sleep and open wounds got him to the point where could barely move and almost falling asleep in the midle of combat
Deku's arc shouldve lasted longer.
I love the moment when Deku jumps away from the vestiges telling him to rest like, my guy, they actually live in your head rent free
The anime left out that he was distracted by danger sense for that part as was in the manga.
Classmates prepared to beat him up with Bakugo in the lead, I'm sure Midoriya is feeling nostalgic.
That's assuming they can get their hands on him to jump him. lol
@@raec5426 don't worry , of course they are going to catch him with power of friendship ;p
All he have to do is use 100% and its over for them
@Normadus except for the fact that he's so tired he can't even see straight. They wouldn't stand a chance if he was at full strength, but he's running on fumes right now.
@@Normadus Except bro literally hasn’t slept or ate in days and is barely standing with black whip to assist him. I would say more but I’m a manga reader so I won’t say anything till next episode
@@jutsumaniac4569 he still could have clapped them all if he wanted to, despite being weakened.
How come almost nobody notices that Stain doesn't set off Deku's danger sense?
Probably cause it’s inconsistent, especially in the anime
@@kirbo4111 stain is not a villain at heart. respects all might and deku.
@@SakuroAlex Ik but I’m talking about danger sense in general. A lot of reactors thought all might was in danger but still never mentioned danger sense. It shows up inconsistently and even in this episode when deku jumps away a lot it’s in the direction of danger that he sense but it doesn’t show up on screen for some reason
@@kirbo4111 yeah I believe it is showed better in the manga.Also,danger sense only detects if there is a hostile intent so that's probably why.
@@latrelllin7469 yup, stain isn’t doing anything to all might
This episode hit me right in the feels
5:09 That right there is storytelling at it's finest. When Deku first met All Might on the rooftop, Deku had the resolve to catch up and grab onto his leg before All Might could jump off. Here. All Might can't even stay on his feet trying to grasp Deku. It's a beautiful image of how the mighty (no pun intended) have fallen and the torch has been passed on. There's no going back to the way things were.
To Lupa and Sheera being confused why he wants to scrap with his friends. It's a pretty common trope we've seen in other anime... Deku wants revenge on All for One, to him- AFO is the reason everything is going wrong. And as usual, since he is so vengeful and tired at the moment too. He's kinda going auto-pilot/One objective mode where that's the only thing he's focusing on. (and hey, mfs showed up in their hero costumes there is only one thing you can expect)
Sometimes you gotta fight your friends to save them 😂
Everyone needs a friend that will make them sit down, eat a sandwich, and take a nap, even if it requires a punch in the face.
5:40 Punished Deku has a cool look despite becoming a cryptid.
Also I like the BGM shift resembling The Dark Knight.
You know the main villain evil evil when Roshi comes out with the word “DIABOLICAL”. 😂💀
"Take a shower nigga" LMAO
Prominence burn for slappin a gps out dude hand is crazzzy😹
Deku looks like your average mappa employee
Midoriya vs Class 1-A next week is gonna be an emotional ride
Yep
Not even a week,more like.....4.5 days
Cant wait for Bakugo's apology video
Meh
Lupa saying take a shower, man's onto something here...
You guys are literally what I look forward to everyday
The only thing Deku is about to wash is his classmates, bro wasn’t even at full strength and they still struggled against him 😂
It's really heartwarming to see how invested Lupasan is to the story
"Whoever fights monsters should see to it that he does not in turn become a monster"
I just want to say all VAs are in for the kill this season especially Daiki. Man his voice went from sounding like a fluffy marshmallow in season 1 to a villainous one in this season. Being friends with Eren in MHA worked well 😜
“It’s sasori “😂😂😂
12:33 they chuckled Synchronized
This chapter was the reason i started reading my hero again and im so happy your reaction to it this arc was nothing but fire
Lupa basically described Deku as the "Damn, bitch, you live like this?" meme with Max and Roxanne from Goofy Movie and the way I laughed when I put two and two together...man. I'm surprised I didn't wake my neighbors lmao.
Episodes ago I said Aizawa needed a full time water support hero for his eyes. Add Deku to the list, man needs a shower.
They've been adapting Deku's Villain Hunter Arc to absolute ✨perfection✨
Roshi must be so burning up inside hearing them think that Deku was gonna beat his own classmates, props to you my man for not spilling
i love how as the fight goes on and deku just pushed forward he looks more and more like a monster. the mask look like jaws and the gloves become claws
Gotta say, I do love that any reaction channel always sees Stain in that shot and immediately jumps to the conclusion that he'll kill All Might.
Guys. All Might is literally the posterboy hero that Stain WANTS. He goes after heroes that AREN'T like him. If anything Stain would just want a long talk with All Might here; there's no violence between these two.
I wanted to make this comment EXCLUSIVELY about Deku and what we saw with the kids. Because there is some DEEP stuff this episode.
Now it’s time to talk about what I’ve been dancing around this whole arc. I’ve continuously said look at Deku’s eyes. How they lose light each passing episode and become cold. This is a state I am INCREDIBLY familiar with. I call it “exhausted empathy.” This is a strain only Empaths feel. Empaths get to a point where their empathy is working 24/7/365 depending on their emotional experiences. Constantly feeling the emotions of others. And with that comes a different brand of functioning. Which I call the brick backpack. From my perspective, Empaths wear a backpack no one else wears. And it’s empty for a time. But eventually with experience, people start throwing emotional bricks at you. Whether they want to or not. Suppressed feelings count. What you don’t say counts. An Empath will have to catch each brick and decide whether they want it in their backpack to store and help the person they carry that brick for, or if they don’t need it and let it go. If you overstuff, THIS occurs. Empaths don’t breakdown like most people. Rather than getting an explosion of anger or sadness, an empath will become emotionless. It’s like getting trapped inside your own head.
This state is AWFUL and that’s putting it INCREDIBLY mildly. Once the overstuff occurs, the empath will cease to be able to tell where each brick they’ve stored comes from. They can’t tell what emotions come from which person and it all collapses in an unsortable gray area. Your mind and your body no longer cooperate. It’s just fumes. But the empath ability will NOT shut off here. People still throw bricks, and we can’t stop it. All you can do is take it. But you’re so out of it, you’ll just assume that it’s YOUR emotion. And I consider this the worst emotional strain a person can feel because…well. Among the feelings that can get thrown our way are depression, anxiety, PTSD, and…s*icidal thoughts.
Now take what I’ve said…and apply it to Deku across the war arc. Across the Todoroki backstory episodes. Across the accepting of the burdens of OFA from the 8 holders. The Muscular fight, the Lady Nagant Fight. And now AFO’s speech and MORE assassins. And you have yourself a pain that FAR surpasses not eating, not sleeping, not stopping days on end. Probably WEEKS. LOOK HOW SKINNY DEKU IS. Deku is in absolute TURMOIL. If you showed this kid a mirror. He wouldn’t know who is looking back.
And worst of all, once this state is reached, there is only one way out. Someone has to know the core of your being and have your complete trust. If they don’t, all they do is continue the cycle of ever growing burden. Which leads us to Class A. Who among them do you think has that trust? I’ll say this up front. If you believe it’s Bakugo, you chose the WORST choice. BAR NONE.
Bakugo if anything may have caused this state when he was Deku’s dedicated bully. What Bakugo brings to this table is he knows the mission, he knows Deku’s thoughts on the mission, and he knows how Deku would act about it. NONE of those things help Deku other than physical assistance. And as we’ve seen, that is NOT what Deku needs. This isn’t Bakugo at his most helpful, this is Bakugo at what I consider his MEANEST. He announces to the whole CLASS he knows Deku better than anyone while announcing he’s CRAZY. I won’t deny Bakugo is ABSOLUTELY concerned, but this is where the posturing STOPS. This is where you STOP doing things like this because all it causes is harm. And what does he say to Deku when he sees him? “Well if it isn’t his majesty OFA. Tell me, can you smile right now?” It doesn’t matter if the intentions of that statement are warranted or how good the one liner is, you don’t BELITTLE those in a breakdown. This is NOTHING but a demonstration that Bakugo understands the mission and how Deku perceives the mission. But if you look at ANYTHING other than this mission, Bakugo and Deku STILL do not get along in the SLIGHTEST. Their personalities do NOT mesh at all. And Deku is the one who does all the reaching to maintain the peace between the two. This is where BAKUGO has to. And when Deku is like this, Bakugo’s statements could cause LITERAL HEARTBREAK. Another burden to carry. (If not the last burden. Which…I can’t say for certain but it REALLY could come down to that.)
I’m sorry I got so real, but this is NOT a situation people can take lightly. This HAPPENS. If you know an empath, and they are completely emotionless, THIS is what you could be looking at. And you very well might have to speak up because an empath is NOT able to break free themselves. The portrayal of Deku’s state is PERFECT.
I’ll also say to those that noticed, I did recover from this myself. And I’m not in this state. But I had JUST recovered when this arc came out in manga and that’s why it’s so special to me. Deku is my favorite fictional character for a reason.
this is great insight into what deku is feeling, and I'm happy you were able to recover. Be well and thank you :)
@@ibioso8171 I really appreciate that. Thanks a lot.
Empathy is the opposite of feeling the feelings of others...
@@kurols6453 Empathy, noun: The ability to understand and share the feelings of another. - Google
I never thought that I would see someone else actually dig into Deku's situation so accurately, THANK YOU for writing this out.
This shit is real (although to an absurd fictional degree) and can actually fuck you up for a long time if you don't have connections to rely on.
I understand that Bakugo might be doing his best to drag Deku back to reality, but he doesn't understand that right now, in Deku's head, reality is fractured and blurred beyond comprehension.
This is the time for scalding shower, nice soft blankets, and some FUCKIN THERAPY.
“Go lay down” 💀
Class 1A: "Deku you look and smell like shit."
Deku: "Out of my way..."
Deku getting that physical intervention.
" cares more about his smell than his mental state" I'm dead
What a episode. I said this before but just sadness for All Might. To think you're biggest fan and the person who looked up to you for so long, who always stood behind you and looked at your back, he's the one now in front and you're looking at his back. This only proves how serious the situation is if your biggest fan is the one pushing away (for understandable reasons)
I just see "Tokyo Revenger" became "Tokyo punching Bag" in the anime week list i’m dead 😂😂😂😂
On a serious note, this is Deku at his lowest. A lot of people like this persona of him, but in reality, he is running on fumes. It's incredibly sad that he feels he can't rely on anyone but himself because he's scared of getting everyone else hurt for his sake....which is exactly what created the All Might problem in the first place.
It's like what bakugou said, they basically are the same. They put others before themselves to the extreme. While that's definitely heroic and valiant, it's also draining and unstable. It's a double-edged sword.
I like deku's custome and maturity growth. But I don't the fact that he was basically exhausting himself, he's paranoid about AFO. He's obsessed with trying to find him before causes more destruction.
Deku was out here really trying to act like Guts bro 💀
Time for the power of friendship to smack his senses back.
2:55 this was the same thing All Might said to deku when he defeated AFO, he really likes to mock people
The editing and design on these videos are 🔥🔥🔥🔥👏🏿
Bruh the Sasori & Uzi joke got me CRYING
I remember when people were all hype about how "hard" Deku was and couldn't fathom why his friends even showed up. I'm like "the boy is tired, unhinged and probably smells like last month."
I love how Roshi and Sheera's laughs are synchronized at the end there LMAO
This anime blows me away every episode!
To Sheeras point, All Mights vestige was becoming more solid and colored in because he was getting closer to death. He still has to deal with the terrible wound from Atomic Chainsaw which was the cause of him not being able to stay in All Might form for long periods of time and is now the reason why he can’t use it at all.
His wounds are from his first fight with AFO. Deku was just guessing Chainsaw, as the timeline matched up. (Which All Might said it wasn't him.)
His "All Might form" was his regular, normal form.
Can we talk about Deku and All mights VA's killing it this ep
I see both sides (especially given what I know from manga but won't get into all that ) cause on one hand obviously he needs food and rest and support. But from Deku's pov he knows he's the main target and at this point his his friends' strength really can't even compare to his own tbh. He sees himself as a danger to them (which technically he is) but still for his own well being, and for his friends that love him and don't want to see him go through this, he needs help.
💯
Problem is he believes no one can help him, but instead only be a hindrance. And not just his friends, but even the Top Heroes. Its possible at this point he, subconsciously, made himself believe that nobody in the world, much less all of Japan, can help him. Plus, he STRONGLY desires to rescue/save everyone (in the world) from AFO and Shigaraki. Simply telling him to take a break isn't going to get him to stop.
@@wanna-be-thinker2377 Exactly. I will say I love how this arc gets concluded tho
Lupasan: "Yo Roshi you need a nap."
Roshi: _duffs Lupa_
imaging Lupa trying to help Deku relax and getting 45% OFA punched in the dace
7:19 this scene has the exact same vibe as ep 7 s4 of bungo stray dogs. Hero(es) is in huge trouble. Screen cut to black. A voice. A single point attack from the sky that saves the hero. Return of an angry gremlin character everyone misses here to save the day.
Stain admires All Might , he not going to hurt him.
LMAO! DAWG! Lupa straight CHANNELIN' me. Can my guy get a SHOWER in!?!?!?
Love how yall finally changed "Farmland Saga" and got "Tokyo punching bag" and "AOT part 12345"
Deku out here like you can't do what I do so get out the way lol
“Can you imagine coming to my house and I was just ..stink”
oh that part when deku left all might, that day was on Fathers day😭 im not crying ur crying
Deku be taking Lessons from Batman or somthn
Dark Deku looks freaking rad. It's really funny how scary that costume would be if you didn't show any skin.
1:55
Like AFO's way of laughing
Hope someone points out the shout-outs in this episode...the line from all for one about coming after deku, is a mirroring of when all might told deku that it's his turn after saving bakugo. And they already called the other one when deku left and told him to say out of it
I lol’ed so hard from lupas rant 😂
Damn man, I can't believe they turned my boi All Might into that sad frog meme, tripped on his lunch tray with Midoria up above him.
When Roshi said it’s Sasori 😂
Loved this episode and was waiting on your reaction, I like this arc even though it could’ve been a bit longer it definitely did a good job of showing how much stuff Deku has weighing on him and him trying to handle the mess of dealing with afo and ofa, and I liked how Deku saw more of the ugly side of the society, basically learning there is a grey side not just black and white. It wasn’t a development arc cause Deku has much of that but an arc of showing how this situation has affected him and showing how he feels, and also was saying look you don’t need to carry this burden alone we got you so stop being so reckless for us cause you’re just stressing more, cause that is deku’s ultimate flaw he cares more for others than him self (reckless sometimes) sorry for the long talk just my thoughts.of course there’s other stuff too aswell.
deku: leave
the class: no
deku: aight i'll let the nuckles talk
Two things about Justice you might have not knew:
1. Hands Rated E- for Everyone,
2. Pure Doo-Doo Ga-Ga
Stein doesn't have beef with All Might! Remember, All Might is the only person he considers to be a true, pure and ideal hero
Bro, the next few episodes are gonna be so freaking good!
all might fell on the ground with the bento box gives off the same vibes as the pepo frog who dropped his lunch
