Btw what a lot of people miss. The building was falling and going to crash onto people. So Endeavor cut the building into a bunch of tiny chunks. Which hawks ended up making them land in safe places. The whole building would've caused much more damage.
Idk how well the anime shows that. I’m not trying to be one of those MHA haters who criticize every little thing cause I love the show but if you hadn’t told me, I wouldn’t have even known that was the same building that was falling even after seeing it multiple times.... the fight is great (it COMPLETELY nails the animation and the emotional impact) but it’s not the easiest to follow tbh, especially in beginning
I thought the way they depicted the distance between Endeavor and All Might. How Endeavor was the only one who wanted to surpass All Might. By showing Endeavor attempting to build a bridge over to All Might using a few rocks and a broken plank.
@@Madikay27 the reasoning behind endeavor dicing it up might not of been totally obvious, but it is pretty clear it's the same building, it goes from endeavor and nomu crashing through it, to it starting to fall, to Endeavors attack
An underrated moment is when All Might was clutching his wound while watching the fight. He was so frustrated for being unable to jump in there and help.
And, at the end, once it was over, he didn't look _relieved..._ he realised that from now on it'll be like this _every... single... time._ That he's out of the game for good, and there's nothing he can do about it. After all his years on the front line, that must be _extremely_ frustrating.
Not only that endeavour also got stabbed more or less same spot... it's kinda human psychology that when ever u see an injury u some times feels mild pain or tingling feeling on the same spot on ur body....
I was so sad for all might, just imagine how many times he saved the day during his life and now he can't do anything... Is overwhelming. There are so many things happening in this episode, even though I knew how this was going to end still surprised me how good this was.

Jules Morin Good catch! I think subconsciously as a viewer, and just like hero society in MHA, we have been conditioned to believe one hero is capable of handling it all on their own and that was all because of All Might and his immense overwhelming power. With this episode, it tears that image down and reveals to us that it isn’t as easy as it seems or how it used to be, and that heroes like Endeavor really have to give it their all just to keep the dream and symbol going. All Might was a god, on a complete different league from the rest, an actual SUPER hero, not just a mere hero playing the part.
@@Chenso2099 yee people have to remember that in that world "heroes" are just normal people with simple powers, they are not super heroes from marvel or dc

Let’s give it up for Hirokoshi for excellent character writing. While Todoroki breaking at the end was heartbreaking enough; Hawks flashback of Endeavor, seeing him trying build something to reach the other half of the chasm took me OUT
this episode is so stressful in the best of way. one of my fav episode of boku no hero and an excellent finale to this season. the animations, va, art, writing, direction, everything. boku no hero may not be the most unique or original in terms of concept, but its desserved it's popularity and its really good
Johan S Exactly. I feel the same way. It’s not the best out there, but it has heart, and when it does something right, it does it with such finesse that you can only sit back and admire it. A really great series with lots of potential, which in this episode, we really saw go plus ultra!
I rly love the way Horikoshi visually represents some elements like Endeavor building a bridge here or All Might trying to keep a fire from extinquishing in a storm with his body.
As the child of an abusive parent I know exactly how Todoroki feels..... All your life you’ve had this resentment toward your mom/dad... “Why did you bring me into this world if your just going to abuse me? Neglect me? Hurt me and my family and then suddenly decided you want to change?” My mom left me in the care of my grandparents over half my life, and when she came back and tried to do better I didn’t want to accept that, It’s hard to admit but I hated her, but she kept trying (Just like Endeavor) to face her past and atone for what she did and eventually I (Just like Shoto) opened up and decided to give her a chance and we now have a healthy/loving relationship and her grandson is a big part of her life which some people don’t have.... And that’s why Endeavor is one of the best characters in MHA.... because he is indeed a Hero! (As you just witnessed) But he isn’t perfect, he’s made mistakes, has regrets and (Just like all of us) is trying to change and be a better person than he was....and that’s just awesome 👏👏👏👏
Cordel S. Glad to hear you and your mom were able to build a healthy relationship despite all the misfortune and past mistakes, let’s hope the same can happen between Endeavor, Shoto, and the rest of the family.
I'm so moved by your comment, so even tho it's a year late, I'm just gonna respond anyways. My parents were a bit abusive (as they were pretty strict and hot-tempered, almost like Endeavor) and as I kid I thought I could never forgive them, ever. But as I grew up I could see things I couldn't when I was younger, and realized that they still loved me through all that. They even softened up A LOT and apologized as the years went by. (which I greatly appreciate cuz once ur an adult and have chosen to think that something is right I know changing the way you think is hard) Right now, I love my family more than anything and we have a healthy relationship going on. I'm not particularly a big fan of this anime (I watch it for Imon and Abbie's reactions) but I have to say that when I watched this episode, it shook me to the core cuz of the similarities that I could find in my family and the Todoroki household. (before that, I thought Todoroki's story was just another plain domestic abuse story that every other anime has) And this is why I have to agree and say that Endeavor is one of the best characters in MHA, maybe even anime in general. People make mistakes, and even though the past cannot be changed, the present and future can be changed. Btw, you are such a strong person. I believe you went through so much more than I did. Thank for sharing your story, bless you.
This comment is everything that needs to be summed up in one take. Endeavour isn't perfect. He's never claimed to be, and he understands his faults more than anyone else. He can't change the past, but he can continue to move forward. And sometimes that's all you can do
My favourite scene was when the kid basically said stfu and look and you saw the flames coming from the building. Also like how the writers indicated with this episode how big the gap is between all might and other heroes which means if there wasn't someone seeking to reach all might's level like endeavour then this noumu would've killed everyone in that city including hawks and endeavour
He obviously couldn't have killed Endeavor. Endeavor isn't Endeavor if he isn't seeking to Reach All Might's level which means by your logic the nomu wouldn't have killed them all with Hawks and Endeavor since there is a guy among them Who's been seeking to Reach All Might's level. _That guy being Endeavor._
This might be the start of Endeavor's redemption story, but I can already start talking about why he's one of my favorite characters in the series. All Might was basically a god in this world. He was a monolithic figure of strength and justice. Endeavor isn't that. He's no symbol of peace. He has no sacred torch passed on to him. He's just a guy. He's just a man in a suit. He's mortal. He's flawed. He's seen some shit. He's done some shit. And he still has a lot to pay for. But he's also the one out there fighting for all of us. And he's doing it in a world where God is dead. WIth no one else to take his place.
@@gamingph3412 I mean... Can they even do that? Considering what happens *right after* the High-End fight? It would be strange to have a filler recap and only then go back to that
Did y'all catch the metaphor of this whole battle? He fought against a warped twisted being who sacrificed everything for more power, lit up like a phoenix, and he burned away the version of what he Could've become and rose out of it like a Phoenix. ;)
@@madmoxxi7397 You wouldn't believe the amount of people who don't understand the concept of Metaphors until it's shoved up their ass and comes of their mouths.
What I wanted to point out was remember the times when fans were sending death threats to Horikoshi about Endeavour having a redemption arc? It was around this time in the manga around second half of season 3(?)
The best part is, the next episodes after this will address his redemption even further. He is endeavoring to be better, but it does not guarantee him forgiveness, that is the key part. It’s not the end of his redemption, but his start
@@billylee376 So you've seen or know people have rainbow hair? Also you think people need to have rainbow hair to think abuse is an irredeemable fucked up thing? What brilliant information!
I love that she loves Mirko. And yes, the entire fanbase is hyping over her right now. It's a shame we won't get to see her be a badass for 3 more years.
@@hocinesalaheddine6401 we wont really see her in action until like season 6 which wont be until like 2022-2023. She makes an appearance in the pro hero after endeavor's fight but we dont see her fight until way later.
In my opinion it is smarter than that nomu & has lots of ability especially regeneration....but S1 nomu matched with almight speed & power he had to go beyond 100% to knock it off yet he survived...but high-end was matched with hawks speed & slightly powerful than endeavour...we clearly know the gap b/w almight & other heroes...
This one is overall more fit to fight in any circumstances but the one in season 1 is tailor made for All Might. I think All Might would have defeated this Nomu too if he still has his S1 Power.
When this part and some of the other Endeavor stuff that happens right after, came out in the manga, the creator Kōhei Horikoshi, got huge numbers of death threats, especially from the U.S. because having Endeavor try to redeem himself was supposedly endorsing abuse.
@@thejediofuspartii538 Of course abuse is a horrible thing, but to claim that someone that was abusive can never change and try to redeem themselves is insanely simple minded and reeks of a half witted puritanical extremist.
If you saw the movie first and didn't read the manga, then you may have missed exactly why todoroki vs the animal villain was so hype. He invented an ice version of his dad's Flashfire on the spot. What a G.
Not a manga reader. This was explained in S2 I believe. AFO - All For One (the villain) thought his brother didn't have a quirk and saw him as weak and fragile (which he was) the guy kneeling down on the floor. So AFO gave his younger brother a quirk that stockpiles power which came back to bite him as I mentioned earlier that the younger brother had a quirk and it was a quirk that allows him to transfer quirks, which led to the creation of One For All.
@@HolyShitItsHim1 AFO is pretty greedy and powerhungry, so my guess is he wanted a power "bank" to collect interest, which then he could withdraw later on.
that high end noumu was just like endeavour in reality. remember noumus are made by human beings. endeavour killed the high end, the person who was similar to endeavour. obsess with power,quirks. honestly, its sad that highend noumu died cause he is exactly like endeavour :/. and when he said "thats why i created..." endeavour s quirk had a heat problem thats why he used his family. "thats why i created...them" what he meant. and yeah, All For One's brother is really looks like Shigaraki cause they are intentionally meant be compared. They both are prisoner of All For One after all. AFo tried to control them.
The oldest sibling in the Todoroki family is Touya, but since he isn’t around anymore Fuyumis the oldest, Natsuo is the middle child and Shouto is the youngest
It honestly shocks me how few people read the guidebooks, Author notes, or any of Horikoshi’s interviews so i figured i’d leave this information here incase anyone was interested. Horikoshi got a lot of personal hate for this arc so i wanted to just inform people of what’s what. A; The abuse Natsu and Fuyumi received was Neglect and having to watch Touya and Shoto be hurt, they didn’t have fire powers so he wasn’t concerned (Fuyumi has Glitter Snow and Natsuo has a currently unnamed “Cold” ability) B; Horikoshi has stated NUMEROUS times that Endeavour was not PHYSICALLY abusive towards Rei, he even apologized and stated that it didn’t come across as he intended it too C; Endeavour did not START his family to be BETTER then Allmight, the obsession didn’t start until Touya was born Endeavour wanted to marry someone with Ice powers so that any children he ever had would not have to risk dying by their own quirk (which has a side effect of raising the users body temp) but he had been dating her prior for sometime, he PAID her parents for her because they are super traditional Japanese and Demanded a dowry from him. Endeavour only changed once Touya’s quirk activated and he had stronger flames then even Endeavour had.
Something yall probably missed and what alot of people missed is that the high end nomu was sort of a symbolic win for endeavor bc he saw himself in the nomu bc of how the nomu was in wanting more strength and power and being warped and twisted/evil bc he saw that is who he was and could've become worse if he didn't change . Him killing the nomu was his way of putting his past to rest and finally moving forward to become a better hero/father/husband and a better man in general.
The best moment was when Hawks said "You were the only one seriously trying to surpass him". Endeavor honestly was. He really thought he could rival All Might. He finally did. Plus, the self-reflection........damn. Let us put respect on Endeavors name from now on.
@@TheUltimatum10 yeah and Endeavor reflected on it and his past and changed in this episode. He wants to try to make amends for what hes done. Anyways I dont think Hawks comments were about his personal life, it seemed he was commenting on Endeavors pursuit of strength to rival All Might, not so much comparing him in morals. Hawks even mentioned noticing a change in Endeavor during the fight.
@@Sol-hd7pz And the fact that he was basically the only person who seriously considered it being Possible to surpass him. To everyone else, All Might was a paragon. A symbol. To Endeavor, he was a goal line to cross.
@@MrSuperbeast92 Exactly. Hawks making a point of that and putting it in perspective was really cool, because I dont think many people realized nobody was even remotely thinking of trying to be number 1 with All Might around. Endeavor was the only being on the planet trying.
not gonna spoil, but this was hinted at when all might was revealed to have considered todoroki for one for all. bc one for all is the "Power to store power" it means that the previous one for all users, could have passed down their quirks, meaning that deku could have awakened a new one.
We need to understand that there are people who do bad things but at the same time are always in the spotlight to do good. Next arc is Endeavor. Endeavor is going to show you why he #1.
Now we understand why endeavor was rough with shouto, back in season one he mentioned something about quirks marriage, since he knows having a fire quirk makes you vurnedable , he ended up being with their mom which has the ice quirk, after all the experiments they tried shouto cane out having the ice quirk which makes him the perfect combination. Now he can use the fire at full power without overheating and same with the ice as well .
Its SO cool how the hero’s think so well together. Endeavor cutting the building into tiny pieces so it wont fall on everyone, while also attacking the nomu, and Hawks catching all the pieces to lower collateral damage. They show the obvious gab between pros and our wonderful students.
Even if he does feel remorse for his actions Its impossible for me to respect him knowing what he did. I like he is trying to be a better person. Its a step in the right direction He doesnt deserve to have a family after what he did but. If it helps Shoto and the others let go of some built up hatred it will be worth it.
@@aflo2733 that is factually incorrect A; The abuse Natsu and Fuyumi received was Neglect and having to watch Shoto be hurt, they didn’t have fire powers so he wasn’t concerned (Fuyumi has Glitter Snow and Natsuo has a currently unnamed “Cold” ability) B; Horikoshi has stated NUMEROUS times that Endeavour was not PHYSICALLY abusive towards Rei, he even apologized and stated that it didn’t come across as he intended it too in the anime C; Endeavour did not START his family to be BETTER then Allmight, the obsession didn’t start until Touya was born Endeavour wanted to marry someone with Ice powers so that any children he ever had would not have to risk dying by their own quirk (which has a side effect of raising the users body temp) but he had been dating her prior for sometime, he PAID her parents for her because they are super traditional Japanese and Demanded a dowry from him.

All For One&One For All , Thanks for the info Tho don’t be shock about that I really love my hero but in the end, I’m just a casual fan who just enjoy the anime and nothing more Not gonna read some notes or guide book if there is some info we got wrong or misunderstand it and we have to read those note and guidebooks and go further and check the manga than it's his mistake for not making it clear and obvious for us in the anime
20% the anime didn't have any for any reason (i'm assuming that season 5 is gonna start with a more in depth flash back of the dream) but the scene in the manga is filled with exposition and he has a short convo with OFA who states "you can currently only handle 20% of the information rn"
Can't believe I watched all your MHA reactions (what was still available anyway) in like 5 days lol. I love how into the series you two are. And the various running gags (not trusting Cementoss, "Justin", etc.) kill me lmao. Subbed :D
Also side note: Endeavor's weakness is his own flames. As we saw it over heats his body and starts to shut down his body. This was evident in season 2 with Shoto when he refused to use his fire side against Deku... Shoto body temperature kept lowering freezing his body. With Endeavor's ambition and his own weakness he sought out Rei and made 4 kids... Shoto being the only one with both Ice and Fire quirk. But after All Might's retirement... he realized he was going down the wrong path. About Midoriya.... go back to season 2 and remember that match with Shinshou vs Deku. To refresh.... All For One's brother was assume to be quirkless. AFO forced a stockpile quirk onto his brother which mutated with his brother quirk to become One For All. All For One is NOT related to Nana Shimura by blood... but that's all I can tell you... wait for the villian arc for more details. Now that's High End nomu... High End Nomu's are in a different class from the Low End models from previous seasons. High Ends are not only stronger... but can talk and think. That's all I can tell you because more info will come later on.
@@maroo747 bokunoheroacademia.fandom.com/wiki/One_For_All Really don't like using Wiki but this info here also tells that All For One forced Stockpile quirk was forced upon his brother who was thought to be quirkless but had a quirk that does nothing but passes on his quirk to another.
He was already with Rei before he started going crazy for power, he married her not because he wanted a kid to surpass All Might, but because he didn´t want his kids to have the same problem he has, an ice quirk is perfect for that
@@r.a.fgattaiguy845 Have you re looknat season 2 with the conversation with All Might and Endeavor all over again... I'm pretty sure he was always like that since he couldn't surpass All Might. He was always power hungry
I'm proud of him for doing his hardest burning away his past self, proving he can be a hero his son can be proud of and attempting to repair the damage he did years ago
I gotta say, while I still really hate Endeavor, especially in retrospect, I gotta say, this was a well-deserved win on his part. It was also a well-deserved scar, but that’s a whole other can of worms 😅
When she said "he is like a Phoenix" I really started thinking on how Endeavor is trying to face his old self. He is trying to get better, so he is a phoenix out of the ashes into his new life a better hero and a better person. He wants to be the dad that he never was.
I remember like a year ago when you guys talked about people coming after Horikoshi for redeeming Endeavour and these last two episodes were when it was happening
I'm really liking this redemption arc for Endeavor. Especially during the fight with the nomu at the end when he was commenting on the similarities between his life and this new nomu, obsessed with being the strongest, created to have multiple quirks. Almost like his first big step in becoming a better person was to defeat himself
I can't but help rooting for Endeavor. Especially after you see, what happened in manga a while ago. Hopefully it comes in season 5. Probably not but I didn't expect to see this episode in season 4.
This episode was very much like the Superman vs Doomsday in the comics, a crazy strong creature obsessed in killing the strongest thing it finds against the overpowered number one hero, even the end of him falling with the Nomu, was the same way the Doomsday fight ended, I love this so much!!!
Yall are in for a rollercoaster with the continuation of the pro hero arc and the next 2 arcs that will be in season 5 and that dream is just the start.
So, this redemption arc (I fucking love redemption arcs) has been in the works since Kamino. Watching All-Might's final fight, seeing All For One in action, there was actually a point where he said "what did I do all this for?!" directly referencing the things he did to his family and his overall obsession with strength. Then, you look at the conversation Endeavor had with All-Might about "what it means to be a symbol" and you see he's finally starting to see things differently, especially when he tells Shoto "i'll become a man you can be proud of". This new costume (in case you didn't notice) and his "just watch me" statement are his way of showing the world (and his family) he'll be doing things differently
Idk if it was intentional but when Hawk's was falling while talking about his back being small. He was looking at Endevoir's back which blazed like a summer sun. It reminds me of Icarus who's wings melted when he flew too close to the sun and fell back to earth. In that scene his feathers were being burned away to push Endevoir forward and thus he was falling back to earth. Through out we find that Hawk's was inspired and aspired to be a hero like Endevoir but he also kept speaking as though he could not be the one to make others feel safe. In a way, his story was of someone who wanted to reach the sun but found himself falling short. In a way it sets up Endevoir, not as a god whom none can reach like All Might, but a sun so bright it comforts those from a distance, and punishes those who stray too close. I think it's fitting, the man who tried to surpass god and failed, became the sun for others to see and feel safe.
One thing I found interesting about this fight is how all mights fight against AFO there was a helicopter providing a more “cinematic view” of the fight while Endeavor’s fight didn’t have the same view to the people in the show. His fight was just a news reporter and a camera man on the ground showing that endeavors turn as number one hero is going to be a lot different than all mights
I dunno why but when I was watching the episode, I never thought Endeavor was gonna die even once. Not a single thing he did registered as an “I’m gonna take us both down together” attack. I couldn’t tell you why.
I think it was all the bad omens? The flower petal falling, Shoto's left side activating without him intending it to, or the fact that when he got stabbed All Might grabbed his wound (bc of phantom pain I imagine, but the image it creates is quite ominous). Endeavour's actions really didn't seem like a self sacrifice to me either, but the outside factors did for a bit, then I realised it wouldn't be a very good decision on the writing side and convinced myself he wasn't gonna die lol.
I can tell my girl with the dreads really had a hard time trying to convince herself to have some kind of empathy knowing Endevors past but also knowing that he was willing to change, this was so great to see.
I'm going to be frank... the picture with Hawks in the end credit.... I never seen in the manga. However it's important now in the current arc in the manga.
That regenaration connection about overhaul was good, i didn't actually think about it and mr. Compress did indeed take one of overhaul's arm so maybe they did fuse it with the nomu some how. Good prediction if it turns out to be true.
I knew the whole One for All thing reminded me of something. It's only with that post-credit thing that I could put my finger on it, it's basically Avatar The Last Airbender.
This episode alone is the reason why MHA is in my top 5 anime’s. It’s ability to give every character development!? Like Huh!? So many different characters, so many redemptions, real motive, real problems and they’re just showed throughout the series, Bakugo, Todoroli, Iida, Kirishima, Togato, Etc. This episode was the best season finale ✊🏼
They did a great job in how they had endeavor fill the void all might left behind with this video. And it makes me think how the next generation will be stronger. Shoto will be able to not over heat and deku is very innovative and all might said each new owner of one for all improves it .
Btw what a lot of people miss. The building was falling and going to crash onto people. So Endeavor cut the building into a bunch of tiny chunks. Which hawks ended up making them land in safe places. The whole building would've caused much more damage.

My mom left me in the care of my grandparents over half my life, and when she came back and tried to do better I didn’t want to accept that, It’s hard to admit but I hated her, but she kept trying (Just like Endeavor) to face her past and atone for what she did and eventually I (Just like Shoto) opened up and decided to give her a chance and we now have a healthy/loving relationship and her grandson is a big part of her life which some people don’t have....
And that’s why Endeavor is one of the best characters in MHA....
because he is indeed a Hero! (As you just witnessed) But he isn’t perfect, he’s made mistakes, has regrets and (Just like all of us) is trying to change and be a better person than he was....and that’s just awesome 👏👏👏👏
Cordel S. Glad to hear you and your mom were able to build a healthy relationship despite all the misfortune and past mistakes, let’s hope the same can happen between Endeavor, Shoto, and the rest of the family.
You, my friend, are one of the emotionally strongest people I have ever seen
INCREDIBLE INTAKE INDEED!!!!
I'm so moved by your comment, so even tho it's a year late, I'm just gonna respond anyways. My parents were a bit abusive (as they were pretty strict and hot-tempered, almost like Endeavor) and as I kid I thought I could never forgive them, ever. But as I grew up I could see things I couldn't when I was younger, and realized that they still loved me through all that. They even softened up A LOT and apologized as the years went by. (which I greatly appreciate cuz once ur an adult and have chosen to think that something is right I know changing the way you think is hard) Right now, I love my family more than anything and we have a healthy relationship going on.
I'm not particularly a big fan of this anime (I watch it for Imon and Abbie's reactions) but I have to say that when I watched this episode, it shook me to the core cuz of the similarities that I could find in my family and the Todoroki household. (before that, I thought Todoroki's story was just another plain domestic abuse story that every other anime has) And this is why I have to agree and say that Endeavor is one of the best characters in MHA, maybe even anime in general. People make mistakes, and even though the past cannot be changed, the present and future can be changed.
Btw, you are such a strong person. I believe you went through so much more than I did. Thank for sharing your story, bless you.
This comment is everything that needs to be summed up in one take.
Endeavour isn't perfect. He's never claimed to be, and he understands his faults more than anyone else. He can't change the past, but he can continue to move forward. And sometimes that's all you can do
Y’all peep how endeavor now has a scar on the same side as shoto that symbolism doe
That's... a nasty scar you've got there *slurp*
Parallel to be more accurate
*Sluuuuuuuuuuurp* scene incoming
And he was hurt in the same place as All Might too
yeah a scar plus a missing eye
My favourite scene was when the kid basically said stfu and look and you saw the flames coming from the building. Also like how the writers indicated with this episode how big the gap is between all might and other heroes which means if there wasn't someone seeking to reach all might's level like endeavour then this noumu would've killed everyone in that city including hawks and endeavour
lee facts that news lady was quick to judge that fight hell I would say the same thing if that was my favorite hero
He obviously couldn't have killed Endeavor. Endeavor isn't Endeavor if he isn't seeking to Reach All Might's level which means by your logic the nomu wouldn't have killed them all with Hawks and Endeavor since there is a guy among them Who's been seeking to Reach All Might's level. _That guy being Endeavor._
This might be the start of Endeavor's redemption story, but I can already start talking about why he's one of my favorite characters in the series. All Might was basically a god in this world. He was a monolithic figure of strength and justice. Endeavor isn't that. He's no symbol of peace. He has no sacred torch passed on to him. He's just a guy. He's just a man in a suit. He's mortal. He's flawed. He's seen some shit. He's done some shit. And he still has a lot to pay for. But he's also the one out there fighting for all of us. And he's doing it in a world where God is dead. WIth no one else to take his place.
my God, you made the story so poetic. almost like a greek legend or something. you should be a writer dude lol
That also explains the name of his theme
JUST ANOTHER HERO
CorrectO
Damn that's deep😩
And he did it all through hard work and mastering his quirk, not by being given a special quirk-he’s like Bakugou or even Mirio in a way.
The 5th season will start off on fire, so be prepared.
Light em up up up, light em up up up, I'm on FIIIIIIIAAAAAHHH!!!!
Hope they don't do the recap episode bullshit on the first episode of the next season.

@@gamingph3412 I mean... Can they even do that? Considering what happens *right after* the High-End fight? It would be strange to have a filler recap and only then go back to that

Endeavor turned himself into a Beyblade.
Did y'all catch the metaphor of this whole battle?
He fought against a warped twisted being who sacrificed everything for more power, lit up like a phoenix, and he burned away the version of what he Could've become and rose out of it like a Phoenix. ;)

Yeah, and those wings Hawks gave him, he was instrumental for making this happen.
What I wanted to point out was remember the times when fans were sending death threats to Horikoshi about Endeavour having a redemption arc? It was around this time in the manga around second half of season 3(?)
I have been wondering about that, thanks!
The best part is, the next episodes after this will address his redemption even further. He is endeavoring to be better, but it does not guarantee him forgiveness, that is the key part. It’s not the end of his redemption, but his start
The rainbow-haired 'tards have ruined western entertainment, now they trying to ruin anime.
Abuse should never be redeemed. So I don't blame them.
@@billylee376 So you've seen or know people have rainbow hair? Also you think people need to have rainbow hair to think abuse is an irredeemable fucked up thing? What brilliant information!
No one is more stubborn than him.

I love that she loves Mirko. And yes, the entire fanbase is hyping over her right now. It's a shame we won't get to see her be a badass for 3 more years.
@@hocinesalaheddine6401 Because that's roughly how far ahead th Manga is to the Anime, and how long we have until she starts going ham.
@@hocinesalaheddine6401 we wont really see her in action until like season 6 which wont be until like 2022-2023. She makes an appearance in the pro hero after endeavor's fight but we dont see her fight until way later.
this nomu is stronger than the one all might fought in season 1
In my opinion it is smarter than that nomu & has lots of ability especially regeneration....but S1 nomu matched with almight speed & power he had to go beyond 100% to knock it off yet he survived...but high-end was matched with hawks speed & slightly powerful than endeavour...we clearly know the gap b/w almight & other heroes...
Yeah, the one in s1 was just custom made to take on All Might. It'd be like making Endeavor fight against a noumu with fire resistance or something.
This nomu is stronger than the all might fought, the Manga already show that
This one is overall more fit to fight in any circumstances but the one in season 1 is tailor made for All Might. I think All Might would have defeated this Nomu too if he still has his S1 Power.
@@gkjustgk9371 He only had to work that hard because the first Nomu had crazy regeneration.

When this part and some of the other Endeavor stuff that happens right after, came out in the manga, the creator Kōhei Horikoshi, got huge numbers of death threats, especially from the U.S. because having Endeavor try to redeem himself was supposedly endorsing abuse.
I’m not surprised most of them can from the US
Simple-thinking people love to be loud with their ridiculous opinions
Death threats were too far, but those people aren't wrong. Abuse should never be redeemed.
@@CharTurner6928 So you have to be simple-minded to think abuse is an obviously fucked up thing and should be irredeemable? Good to know.
@@thejediofuspartii538 Of course abuse is a horrible thing, but to claim that someone that was abusive can never change and try to redeem themselves is insanely simple minded and reeks of a half witted puritanical extremist.
You guys didn't include the scene where hawks showed how he admired endeavor's will to surpass all might.
Some scenes of the fight with the camera work reminded me of Mob Psycho~ well, same studio, same greatness!
This episdoe is so much more engaging if you haven't watch the movie, it's even more engaging in manga because there's even more death flags
If you saw the movie first and didn't read the manga, then you may have missed exactly why todoroki vs the animal villain was so hype. He invented an ice version of his dad's Flashfire on the spot. What a G.
Not a manga reader. This was explained in S2 I believe. AFO - All For One (the villain) thought his brother didn't have a quirk and saw him as weak and fragile (which he was) the guy kneeling down on the floor. So AFO gave his younger brother a quirk that stockpiles power which came back to bite him as I mentioned earlier that the younger brother had a quirk and it was a quirk that allows him to transfer quirks, which led to the creation of One For All.
@@HolyShitItsHim1 AFO is pretty greedy and powerhungry, so my guess is he wanted a power "bank" to collect interest, which then he could withdraw later on.
2:24 "Does it mean that the black ones are special?" Lmao
Abi was like "well if you wanna know"😂😂
*Racism entered the chat
I like to think of it like mixing water colors
Imagine quirks as water colors, the more you put in the darker it gets
@@cruz5531 nice analogy
5:08 that was the reason he married an ice quirk user so that he could create a child that would balance the overheating thus making the perfect hero.

that high end noumu was just like endeavour in reality. remember noumus are made by human beings. endeavour killed the high end, the person who was similar to endeavour. obsess with power,quirks. honestly, its sad that highend noumu died cause he is exactly like endeavour :/.
and when he said "thats why i created..." endeavour s quirk had a heat problem thats why he used his family. "thats why i created...them" what he meant.
and yeah, All For One's brother is really looks like Shigaraki cause they are intentionally meant be compared. They both are prisoner of All For One after all. AFo tried to control them.
Small correction, Nomu's are not just made by people, they ARE humans who have been frankensteined with multiple quirks to the point they mutate.
@@RexDeorumYT True. I'm assuming that OP meant that nomu's are made by USING people

@@richardbean1707 yeah, thats right, thats what i was trying to say.

The oldest sibling in the Todoroki family is Touya, but since he isn’t around anymore Fuyumis the oldest, Natsuo is the middle child and Shouto is the youngest
Remember all mights “I am here” video every1 watched??? This is finna be endeavors
It honestly shocks me how few people read the guidebooks, Author notes, or any of Horikoshi’s interviews so i figured i’d leave this information here incase anyone was interested. Horikoshi got a lot of personal hate for this arc so i wanted to just inform people of what’s what.
A; The abuse Natsu and Fuyumi received was Neglect and having to watch Touya and Shoto be hurt, they didn’t have fire powers so he wasn’t concerned (Fuyumi has Glitter Snow and Natsuo has a currently unnamed “Cold” ability)
B; Horikoshi has stated NUMEROUS times that Endeavour was not PHYSICALLY abusive towards Rei, he even apologized and stated that it didn’t come across as he intended it too
C; Endeavour did not START his family to be BETTER then Allmight, the obsession didn’t start until Touya was born
Endeavour wanted to marry someone with Ice powers so that any children he ever had would not have to risk dying by their own quirk (which has a side effect of raising the users body temp) but he had been dating her prior for sometime, he PAID her parents for her because they are super traditional Japanese and Demanded a dowry from him. Endeavour only changed once Touya’s quirk activated and he had stronger flames then even Endeavour had.
Wait, why is that shocking?
Y’all stunting with this new set up, okay 😤
Glad I wasn't the only one to notice lol
what does that mean? What stunts are they performing?
Something yall probably missed and what alot of people missed is that the high end nomu was sort of a symbolic win for endeavor bc he saw himself in the nomu bc of how the nomu was in wanting more strength and power and being warped and twisted/evil bc he saw that is who he was and could've become worse if he didn't change . Him killing the nomu was his way of putting his past to rest and finally moving forward to become a better hero/father/husband and a better man in general.
I'm all in on Endeavor's redemption arc
The best moment was when Hawks said "You were the only one seriously trying to surpass him". Endeavor honestly was. He really thought he could rival All Might. He finally did. Plus, the self-reflection........damn. Let us put respect on Endeavors name from now on.
Hawks does not know that Endeavor is a garbage of a person who hurt Shoto's mom and isolated Shoto from his brothers.
@@TheUltimatum10 yeah and Endeavor reflected on it and his past and changed in this episode. He wants to try to make amends for what hes done. Anyways I dont think Hawks comments were about his personal life, it seemed he was commenting on Endeavors pursuit of strength to rival All Might, not so much comparing him in morals. Hawks even mentioned noticing a change in Endeavor during the fight.
@@Sol-hd7pz And the fact that he was basically the only person who seriously considered it being Possible to surpass him. To everyone else, All Might was a paragon. A symbol. To Endeavor, he was a goal line to cross.
@@MrSuperbeast92 Exactly. Hawks making a point of that and putting it in perspective was really cool, because I dont think many people realized nobody was even remotely thinking of trying to be number 1 with All Might around. Endeavor was the only being on the planet trying.
@@TheUltimatum10 Seems you can't leave the past in the past, Endeavor *WAS* , not *IS* , i thought you got it the last time.
not gonna spoil, but this was hinted at when all might was revealed to have considered todoroki for one for all. bc one for all is the "Power to store power" it means that the previous one for all users, could have passed down their quirks, meaning that deku could have awakened a new one.
We need to understand that there are people who do bad things but at the same time are always in the spotlight to do good. Next arc is Endeavor. Endeavor is going to show you why he #1.
JESUS THANK YOU finally someone understood the ending no one knew its all for one and his brother I'm losing my mind.
Now we understand why endeavor was rough with shouto, back in season one he mentioned something about quirks marriage, since he knows having a fire quirk makes you vurnedable , he ended up being with their mom which has the ice quirk, after all the experiments they tried shouto cane out having the ice quirk which makes him the perfect combination. Now he can use the fire at full power without overheating and same with the ice as well .
Its SO cool how the hero’s think so well together. Endeavor cutting the building into tiny pieces so it wont fall on everyone, while also attacking the nomu, and Hawks catching all the pieces to lower collateral damage. They show the obvious gab between pros and our wonderful students.
just rewatched the whole series with you guys. thanks for keeping me accompany, it was fun.
can yall believe studio bones and horikoshi really have us all out here cheering for a former wife beater and child abuser??
this episode rocked
Even if he does feel remorse for his actions Its impossible for me to respect him knowing what he did. I like he is trying to be a better person. Its a step in the right direction He doesnt deserve to have a family after what he did but. If it helps Shoto and the others let go of some built up hatred it will be worth it.
ＢＩＧ was he beating his wife? I though it was more verbal abuse.
Tor Skipevåg he slapped the shit outta her when todoroki was telling his backstory
@@aflo2733 that is factually incorrect

All For One&One For All , Thanks for the info
Tho don’t be shock about that
I really love my hero but in the end, I’m just a casual fan who just enjoy the anime and nothing more
Not gonna read some notes or guide book if there is some info we got wrong or misunderstand it and we have to read those note and guidebooks and go further and check the manga than it's his mistake for not making it clear and obvious for us in the anime
Midoriya is mostly covered in smoke because he doesn't have enough control of OfA to summon his whole body. So only 8% of him shows up.
20%
the anime didn't have any for any reason (i'm assuming that season 5 is gonna start with a more in depth flash back of the dream) but the scene in the manga is filled with exposition and he has a short convo with OFA who states "you can currently only handle 20% of the information rn"
Endevour was literally thrown away so powerful that he turned into a saucer or Saturn.
Endeavor is number onr cause he has done even more hero work then prime all might. And yeah he is the strongest
Abuse is stronger? YIKES.
One of my favorite lines: "Fix your eyes growing dim at the chance of victory."
Can't believe I watched all your MHA reactions (what was still available anyway) in like 5 days lol. I love how into the series you two are. And the various running gags (not trusting Cementoss, "Justin", etc.) kill me lmao. Subbed :D
6:44 Endeavor gets back up
Abi: "i love you, i will marry you"
All might grabs his side in pain, "nani?"
carnationX2 😂😂😂 what have I done!!!
When she said that I was like "girl you are trippin". .. from the hospital, Rei was screaming "don't do it" !!! "
"Get reinforcements" Yall got my boy Endeavour all the way fucked up
Also side note:
Endeavor's weakness is his own flames. As we saw it over heats his body and starts to shut down his body.
This was evident in season 2 with Shoto when he refused to use his fire side against Deku... Shoto body temperature kept lowering freezing his body.
With Endeavor's ambition and his own weakness he sought out Rei and made 4 kids... Shoto being the only one with both Ice and Fire quirk. But after All Might's retirement... he realized he was going down the wrong path.
About Midoriya.... go back to season 2 and remember that match with Shinshou vs Deku.
To refresh.... All For One's brother was assume to be quirkless. AFO forced a stockpile quirk onto his brother which mutated with his brother quirk to become One For All. All For One is NOT related to Nana Shimura by blood... but that's all I can tell you... wait for the villian arc for more details.
Now that's High End nomu... High End Nomu's are in a different class from the Low End models from previous seasons. High Ends are not only stronger... but can talk and think. That's all I can tell you because more info will come later on.
He had the stockpile quirk initially , what one for all gave him was a power quirk.
@@maroo747 no stock pile quirk was forced upon the brother
@@maroo747 bokunoheroacademia.fandom.com/wiki/One_For_All
Really don't like using Wiki but this info here also tells that All For One forced Stockpile quirk was forced upon his brother who was thought to be quirkless but had a quirk that does nothing but passes on his quirk to another.
He was already with Rei before he started going crazy for power, he married her not because he wanted a kid to surpass All Might, but because he didn´t want his kids to have the same problem he has, an ice quirk is perfect for that
@@r.a.fgattaiguy845 Have you re looknat season 2 with the conversation with All Might and Endeavor all over again... I'm pretty sure he was always like that since he couldn't surpass All Might. He was always power hungry
I'm proud of him for doing his hardest burning away his past self, proving he can be a hero his son can be proud of and attempting to repair the damage he did years ago
I gotta say, while I still really hate Endeavor, especially in retrospect, I gotta say, this was a well-deserved win on his part. It was also a well-deserved scar, but that’s a whole other can of worms 😅
Imon: please stand up with your fist in the air please!!!
Endeavor: girl I gotchu!
When she said "he is like a Phoenix" I really started thinking on how Endeavor is trying to face his old self. He is trying to get better, so he is a phoenix out of the ashes into his new life a better hero and a better person. He wants to be the dad that he never was.
never clicked this fast
I swear...me too! xD
Their reaction to this episode was gold... I love it.
I remember like a year ago when you guys talked about people coming after Horikoshi for redeeming Endeavour and these last two episodes were when it was happening
I'm really liking this redemption arc for Endeavor. Especially during the fight with the nomu at the end when he was commenting on the similarities between his life and this new nomu, obsessed with being the strongest, created to have multiple quirks. Almost like his first big step in becoming a better person was to defeat himself
I can't but help rooting for Endeavor. Especially after you see, what happened in manga a while ago. Hopefully it comes in season 5. Probably not but I didn't expect to see this episode in season 4.
This was a huge, intense and important character development for Endeavor. What a unique and awesome way to end the season.
This is how you finish an epic season, with the new number one hero giving everything he has just as the previous one.
This episode was very much like the Superman vs Doomsday in the comics, a crazy strong creature obsessed in killing the strongest thing it finds against the overpowered number one hero, even the end of him falling with the Nomu, was the same way the Doomsday fight ended, I love this so much!!!
Yall are in for a rollercoaster with the continuation of the pro hero arc and the next 2 arcs that will be in season 5 and that dream is just the start.
The post-discussion was sincerely hilarious
Idk how these girls did not rage at "5th season to be continued" I was crying and yelling XD quote"NO WHY DID YOU DO THIS TO ME!" 😭😂
So, this redemption arc (I fucking love redemption arcs) has been in the works since Kamino. Watching All-Might's final fight, seeing All For One in action, there was actually a point where he said "what did I do all this for?!" directly referencing the things he did to his family and his overall obsession with strength. Then, you look at the conversation Endeavor had with All-Might about "what it means to be a symbol" and you see he's finally starting to see things differently, especially when he tells Shoto "i'll become a man you can be proud of". This new costume (in case you didn't notice) and his "just watch me" statement are his way of showing the world (and his family) he'll be doing things differently
Endeavor Fan = Natsu Dragoneel. Pink hair and scarf and love of fire. Nuff said.
Idk if it was intentional but when Hawk's was falling while talking about his back being small.
He was looking at Endevoir's back which blazed like a summer sun.
It reminds me of Icarus who's wings melted when he flew too close to the sun and fell back to earth.
In that scene his feathers were being burned away to push Endevoir forward and thus he was falling back to earth.
Through out we find that Hawk's was inspired and aspired to be a hero like Endevoir but he also kept speaking as though he could not be the one to make others feel safe. In a way, his story was of someone who wanted to reach the sun but found himself falling short.
In a way it sets up Endevoir, not as a god whom none can reach like All Might, but a sun so bright it comforts those from a distance, and punishes those who stray too close.
I think it's fitting, the man who tried to surpass god and failed, became the sun for others to see and feel safe.
One thing I found interesting about this fight is how all mights fight against AFO there was a helicopter providing a more “cinematic view” of the fight while Endeavor’s fight didn’t have the same view to the people in the show. His fight was just a news reporter and a camera man on the ground showing that endeavors turn as number one hero is going to be a lot different than all mights
The movie arc (heros rising) is after this season and you can see endeavor their fighting... And the scar on his face
I haven't watched one of your videos for a while. I like the new place for recording, excellent for some discussions.
I dunno why but when I was watching the episode, I never thought Endeavor was gonna die even once. Not a single thing he did registered as an “I’m gonna take us both down together” attack. I couldn’t tell you why.
I think it was all the bad omens? The flower petal falling, Shoto's left side activating without him intending it to, or the fact that when he got stabbed All Might grabbed his wound (bc of phantom pain I imagine, but the image it creates is quite ominous). Endeavour's actions really didn't seem like a self sacrifice to me either, but the outside factors did for a bit, then I realised it wouldn't be a very good decision on the writing side and convinced myself he wasn't gonna die lol.
I can tell my girl with the dreads really had a hard time trying to convince herself to have some kind of empathy knowing Endevors past but also knowing that he was willing to change, this was so great to see.
That nomu is fking amazing he was enjoying it like crazy
I'm going to be frank... the picture with Hawks in the end credit.... I never seen in the manga. However it's important now in the current arc in the manga.
I cried when Endeavor stood at the end with his hand in the air,
That regenaration connection about overhaul was good, i didn't actually think about it and mr. Compress did indeed take one of overhaul's arm so maybe they did fuse it with the nomu some how. Good prediction if it turns out to be true.
Ahhhhh can't wait for anime only viewers to learn about the vestiges. What a great moment to end off the season to get people talking.
"wait- so this is over." LITERALLY ME AJXJSJSHEHSH im so excited for them to animate the next season!!! 😭😭😭💖

Abi Imon all I'll say is remember when midoriya used his power in the tournament when "his" will was supressed.
I melted into a puddle when Endeavor stood up. Like... Wow the suspense had me dying
12:48 Ah yes, the previous Avatars
I knew the whole One for All thing reminded me of something.
It's only with that post-credit thing that I could put my finger on it, it's basically Avatar The Last Airbender.
This episode alone is the reason why MHA is in my top 5 anime’s. It’s ability to give every character development!? Like Huh!? So many different characters, so many redemptions, real motive, real problems and they’re just showed throughout the series, Bakugo, Todoroli, Iida, Kirishima, Togato, Etc. This episode was the best season finale ✊🏼
I love how Imon reacts each time when Todoroki is shown in some situations. Looks like she really is in love with him. Good reaction girls
You are clearly the best reactors out there really guinuine. Love from belgium !!
In the manga those two random heroes that appear briefly to long range those grey nomu actually slow Endeavor's fall.
I love how Hawks is a fanboy of Endeavor.
They did a great job in how they had endeavor fill the void all might left behind with this video. And it makes me think how the next generation will be stronger. Shoto will be able to not over heat and deku is very innovative and all might said each new owner of one for all improves it .
