I dont really see it considering the highest are 2x10, 3x11 and 4x25, all masterpieces. This episode was definitely top 8 in mha but imo not top 5. Still best ep of the season❤🔥
Holy crap…Bones didn’t just cook…they cooked up a 5 star meal! And somehow, somehow I knew Nakamura was gonna animate that Shoto and Ida scene and he certainly didn’t disappoint! Everything was peak! The VA, OST, animation, direction, story…man my jaw dropped during so much of this episode. And holy crap, the animation was insane, especially for Dabi when Rei showed up. It looked exactly like in the opening. This is 100% about to be a top 10 episode of the entire series for sure!
@@t.j.1584 mostly the all might one, I can see other's talents being used more in the toga vs ochako one as it ain't exactly a crazy fight that needs nakamura
Insanely amazing episode, they really stacked this episode with the avengers! I can't believe it but, they're really gonna end this season off with a HUUUUUGE BANG!
For as monstrous as Touya has become, I feel like it’s only fair for the family to be the ones to ultimately save him from getting himself killed completely. And it was just in the nick of time too, since Endeavor had already given up on him yet again. There’s a lot of complicated feelings happening here, and I honestly wasn’t expecting the whole family to end up on the battlefield, but hey, it’s finally time for Touya to get the attention he’s deserved all this time.
Amazing episode on all fronts. Special mention goes to Endeavor’s VA. He’s always done well but he really excelled in this episode towards the end and delivered the lines with a broken tenderness that was very effective. Next week is gonna be adapting one of my favourite parts of the series, I cannot wait.
I felt like I was having a heart attack this entire episode and I already knew what was going to happen. I was bawling my eyes out. I saying this now for the record no other show, anime, or movie is going to make me cry as much as this episode and the next episode are going to make me cry. That is a fact.
I freaking knew it, we aren't getting any slideshow this episode because of the KA This episode is all top tier 👏. Btw the ost,va, and animators are cooking this episode. I hope they do the same for the last 2 episodes.
They could've called episode 21, 'I Am Here', as the fight began. This one should've definitely been 'Shoto Todoroki Rising'. It's the Tritagonist's biggest and final big moment.
@@ebrimajallow3165 yes he really deserved it, we got Katsuki Bakugo Rising, so Shoto deserves his one as well! And also, if you just click on the episode on Crunchy (once the title is correct) the title is kinda of spoilery if you don't watch previews :/
I think the word peak is used too often, but this is an appropriate time for it. 10/10 PEAK MY HERO ACADEMIA ❄️🔥 PEAK ADAPTATION ❄️🔥 THANK YOU STUDIO BONES 🙏
First off, this is the best animated episode of the series, MY GOD it was stunning! The music and voice acting were insane too! Surprised to see this whole confrontation resolved in one episode. But now that I think about it the chapters were particularly short in this section. We might actually get All Might vs All For One this season, I can't believe it! They also didn't adapt Compress and Geten's scene, probably to fit everything else into one episode. I hope we'll get it next episode since we are already getting the LoV flashback during the Toga fight. It's not entirely essential but we haven't seen these guys since the end of the last war so it would be sad to not show them at all afterwards. I really can't think of what scene the last episode will end on, I'm curious to find out. Season 7 continuing to be peak!
spoiler free: this fire ep cover the last 6 ch of ch 385 to ch 390 (ch 388 - 390 were quite short due to horikoshi being ill at the time) , seriously the entire studio team continue to adapt the manga amazingly if i remember correctly the s1 ost was first used when iida was running to get help from the teacher in usj arc i think the track for endeavor vs dabi in this ep is a remix version of dabi theme Back when all might was shown holding a suitcase in ch 384_ we were all theorising what could be inside the three main theorise was an amoured suit, eri rewind bullet, or a photo of the shimura family (as some predicted he was going to go the shiggy fight to help deku bring out tenko personality) the reveal of dabi cyrokenesis abality to make a ice jet was hype as hell and when we saw stain, we thought he was going to witness dabi defeat and aknowledge shoto and more importanly iida as heroes at the time i thought dabi and endeavor was going to die, endeavor because of his dream and toya because of his messed up body and i thought they were both going up into the sky and self destructing taking them both out anime added the anime extended the visual of dabi posing and added the crack appearing of dabi body the anime added alot of extra detail throughout the ep like the ice particles around iida armour and heat mark showing the speed that they were going anime removed: the anime removed the robot which transported rei to the blast zone melting while doing the terminator thumbs up anime removed the entire beginning of ch 387 which foreshadows dabi ice awakening
Absolute peak cinema might be the only appropriate thing I can think of to describe this episode. Could write whole paragraphs for the incredible greatness I just witnessed I'm sure, but there's no need to do that because it speaks for itself.
by far best episode of the season, dare I say top 5 best episode of the entire show, it's up here with all might vs all for one, endeavor vs nomu and deku vs muscular THANK YOU BONES
Manga reader here. Was smiling from ear to ear from beginning to end. I cried. The new visual in the ending song was such a beautiful/sad moment for me. I love it so much!
6:30 it's even 5 and a half chapters! 385 doesn't end with Fierce Wings being stolen, it ends after the whole Evacuation Center scene with Shoto and Iida getting ready! And like the last page of 390 isn't in this episode (Toga seeing the flames go out) Oh and they skipped the beginning of 397 (Geten in his cell) so I guess it actually is closer to 5 chapters xD
I was was waiting for your reaction man, absolutely phenomenal episode with phenomenal animation I can't wait for episode 21 for All Might vs All for One.
@@darling.............. It starts right after the Toga fight right? Maybe this season will have the majority of the fight but ends before it actually ends. But ofc I would love to have it moved to next season to flesh it out more
The one downside of the episode for me is that all the todoroki peak took away from all might. For an episode titled "I am here" I would've expected more all might. They could've at least titled the episode "two prominences" or something like that as a nod to "two flash fires" indicating that it's now endeavors turn. They just made it seem like this was going to be an all might _centered_ episode, so thats an immediate letdown after setting our expectations.
i mean maybe shoto todoroki: rising would’ve been a more fitting name? especially since bakugo already had his rising episode. peak stuff nonetheless, we’re just being picky here lmfao
I know. Still, one minute of all might in the whole episode and we give him the entire preview and the episode title? It makes sense for the manga, but it could've been executed better in the anime. The preview for the episode should've been todoroki focused. Making it all might focused hypes you up for an all might centered episode.
ALL MIGHT VS ALL FOR ONE AT EP 21 IS GOING TO BE ONE SICK FINAL EPISODE OF THE SEASON AND ENDS WITH A CLIFFHANGER WITH EITHER AFO LOOKING DOWN AT UA OR ALL MIGHT ON THE GROUND ALL BLOODY AND SHI AND SAYING IM NOT DEAD YET
I want to believe that as Deku get this animation in the movies, they give it to other characters in the anime to level up, Deku's episode was still good, I just hope his final fight with shiggy gets treated well
I thought the episode was great but it does make me sad that the panel where Dabi does some sort of flash fire fist didn’t show off the scale and power of it like the manga did.
@@jehmarxx2 also I love shoto, but by himself he ain't interesting enough personality wise to be MC, too stoic for the role and he shines better as a main but side character
I was disappointed with the rushed pacing of cramming all this into one episode & the cuts they made as a result. So many sweet little scenes were skipped from chapters that were already short in the manga. It’s obvious they’re starting to rush through content because they want to squeeze certain stuff into the season. That said, the episode still hit all the amazing emotional beats & really was great. The pacing issue & cuts holds it back from being as great as it could’ve been, but still great nonetheless!
Ok this episode was fantastic and peak- but am I the only one that notices the high quality animation bones puts in towards the todoroki family compared to the actual main character? Other than a few cuts Deku vs shigaraki didn’t look nearly as fluid as this…
why is it yall find reasons to complain about things that werent a problem. dekus fight with shigaraki was animated perfectly. stop complaining. never understand why people complain about everything
@@MightyGazelle1 nope, that isn't how it works at all sadly. Animators don't get paid much at all in Japan, even if they're top of the line animators. An animator may put 5-6 months into a scene and get paid miniscule at best
I'm unfamiliar with their customs. But when they storyboard these eps, they definitely choose specific moments to dedicate more time and effort towards. Resources such as that I'd definitely call part of a budget given time constraints
@@MightyGazelle1 even then when they have higher priority episodes that they can get a lot of their bigger animators on, it's all about timing and scheduling. For this episode, since the 4th movie ended production 2-4 months before it came out in Japan in August, some of the animators on that were able to come onto this episode because of the timing of it. Budget is definitely still in play, but sadly bigger episodes with a lot of good animators don't get more money to spend on them. Maybe a little bit more because of timing and who's working on the episode, but that usually isn't the case. Japan's working conditions for animators are notoriously atrocious, they always have been sadly
When i tell you, my jaw was DROPPED throughout the whole episode. Not one bad shot. AWESOME!🙌
Bones, when it’s time to animate a todoroki family centric episode: 🔥✍️
I see it for Iida tenya almost all the time
@@someletters5032 It's mostly just Nakamura who loves animating Iida probably cause it's so speed focused.
This episode could potentially be the number one rated episode of the series.
I could totally see that, I've got tears in my eyes the entire episode
I dont really see it considering the highest are 2x10, 3x11 and 4x25, all masterpieces. This episode was definitely top 8 in mha but imo not top 5. Still best ep of the season❤🔥
@@atinone omgosh same
@@uwayn9829 Usually people really enjoy the todoroki family plotline, so this episode *could* be top 5. I dont know.
i think 21 is probably going to top it, if not that's okay because it will probably be in my heart
*Even when retired, depowered, and weakened, All Might still stands his ground. And people wonder why I love him so much!*
They did not hold back with this episode. Some of Bones’ best work. 12/10.

PEAK ADAPTATION ❄️🔥
THANK YOU STUDIO BONES 🙏
10:57 what happened to AFO’s face🤣🤣🤣
Anime only here and for me Hands Down , The Best And Greatest Episode of MHA and maybe even of the Year🔥🔥
First off, this is the best animated episode of the series, MY GOD it was stunning!
The music and voice acting were insane too!
Surprised to see this whole confrontation resolved in one episode.
But now that I think about it the chapters were particularly short in this section.

Season 7 continuing to be peak!
This episode was peeaaaakk. Yeah the OSTs were definitely a surprise and sounded amazing
spoiler free:
this fire ep cover the last 6 ch of ch 385 to ch 390 (ch 388 - 390 were quite short due to horikoshi being ill at the time) , seriously the entire studio team continue to adapt the manga amazingly
if i remember correctly the s1 ost was first used when iida was running to get help from the teacher in usj arc
i think the track for endeavor vs dabi in this ep is a remix version of dabi theme
Back when all might was shown holding a suitcase in ch 384_ we were all theorising what could be inside the three main theorise was an amoured suit, eri rewind bullet, or a photo of the shimura family (as some predicted he was going to go the shiggy fight to help deku bring out tenko personality)
the reveal of dabi cyrokenesis abality to make a ice jet was hype as hell and when we saw stain, we thought he was going to witness dabi defeat and aknowledge shoto and more importanly iida as heroes
at the time i thought dabi and endeavor was going to die, endeavor because of his dream and toya because of his messed up body and i thought they were both going up into the sky and self destructing taking them both out
anime added
the anime extended the visual of dabi posing and added the crack appearing of dabi body
the anime added alot of extra detail throughout the ep like the ice particles around iida armour and heat mark showing the speed that they were going
anime removed:
the anime removed the robot which transported rei to the blast zone melting while doing the terminator thumbs up
anime removed the entire beginning of ch 387 which foreshadows dabi ice awakening
Stay tuned for...
Iron Might
Absolute peak cinema might be the only appropriate thing I can think of to describe this episode. Could write whole paragraphs for the incredible greatness I just witnessed I'm sure, but there's no need to do that because it speaks for itself.
How did dabi cry without tear ducts? Didn’t he cry blood before and now it’s real tears?
This episode was incredible! Bones absolutely cooked 🔥
I guess this is what i have to bear as a manga reader watching the anime. As in i kept tearing up on every single scene being adapted
this is one of the best episodes of the series
by far best episode of the season, dare I say top 5 best episode of the entire show, it's up here with all might vs all for one, endeavor vs nomu and deku vs muscular
THANK YOU BONES
Another my favorite episode

Wow. This was amazing.
