you guys are getting in theory talks already which is still unknown in the manga also. Imagine if bakugou has 2 quirks or All might has a unknown quirk only activated after he "lose" his given power. So many speculation
One thing about Bakugo power is that his body isn't ordinary. Remember when Deku used his grenade gauntlet and hurt him a lot? All the time when Bakugo uses his power, his hands are like a fire cannon but still he is not hurt from any of the blasts he creates. That is because his body has really good endurance so taking 8% of all might strenght punch and not getting hurt too badly is acceptable :)
This is one of the reasons that I love MHA so much. The developments with Iida shutting himself off emtoionally about Stain, Shoto's humorous comment about being cursed in making peoples' arms get injured, Froppy feeling like she can't hang out with everyone else after the rescue attempt, and Bakugo feeling helpless and responsible for All Might's retirement are all some good examples of this in the series. Those are all points where it's clear that Kohei Hoshikori _really_ thinks about how all his characters individually perceive events as kids & how they don't always understand things from the perspective of the audience, or the way that another character would think of things in their shoes. They're the moments that make the characters feel even more real, and the voice actors' work just comes in to absolutely knock it out of the park. This episode has excellent animation, and also continues down the path of not having Bakugo become a villainous rival, even though he's a jerk, he failed the licensing exam, and is in the position to be a foil to Midoriya on top of all that. It's little subversions in the common shonen tropes and twisting them in a different direction that makes it even more interesting as a story for me. Still hands down one of my favourite episodes of the series so far.
Libel TouRe Not everything innovative has to be good. That applies to all aspects of life. You’ve probably haven’t brought anything new to the world, does that make you a garbage person? Why are so far into the reaction that you’re still complaining?
@@libeltoure7970 it's not a kid show though fam adults watch this too so is Avatar a garbage series aswell and have read the manga come fam with the hate and the positives
Seeing Shane tear up when All-Might hugged Bakugo was great, usually he seems like the least emotionally affected in most of these reactions but I couldn't help but tear up as well.
He has his moments, but that's partly why I like their reaction setup. Everyone has their own opinions and things that get to them so you can get multiple views of one situation. I can't remember the specific times but Shane has teared up on occasion.
Bakugo can still make as big of explosions without his gauntlets, it was shown in the midoria and bakugo vs all might episode. The gauntlets just make it so there’s no backlash and strain on his body. Yes the gauntlets do store up his sweat but that only releases when he pulls the pin from the grenade/gauntlet. Btw i loved the episode and your guys’ reaction. :)
Also to note that fact that his explosions can have such backlash is the reason why he's so tough and strong. Same reason why the vibration guy from the other school in the license exam was resistant to Gang Orca's sonic stun attack thing.
Big, yes, but not like he was doing in this fight; firing something that big without the gauntlets hurts him enough to make him slow between explosions; if he had been using them, he could have pretty much doubled the size of every explosion he sent in this fight and still fight with the same speed and with just as tiny gaps between attacks. But same thing goes for Midoriya, if he had his metal shoes that kick to Bakugo's arms would have *at least* cracked a bone.
I’ve always like Bakugo because I felt that there was so much more to him and I liked him for a different reason then Deku but this episode just reaffirms the great character that is Bakugo. Kinda reminds me of how I felt about Zuko
@@DarthCaedus7 Bakugo was always more bark than bite. He might talk in a way that seems evil, but deep down he always wanted to do good. First instance you can tell is the first fight in class with Izuku when Bakugo's being rough but is still thinking in a way that wouldn't kill and/or *seriously* injure him.
By the way, while watching episodes from All Might's retirement till this episode, Kacchan had such eyes with kinda "unseen sadness"(except moments when he became angry). And only when I rewatched episodes, I realised. It was foreshadowing that this whole time, Bakugo was deep in sorrow thinking that do to his fault All Might lost his power. Rewatch the episodes and you will understand what I meant by his "facial expressions". Indeed, Good foreshadowing!
Don't compare Zuko to him. Zuko is sooo much better. A close character to him would be maybe Todoroki, but Midoriya, Bakugo, etc are not the same as Zuko. What you said it's almost an insult to Avatar. :(
I had only seen the Japanese version and the VA killed it there too. I was worried that Clifford wouldn't be able to match Nobuhiko's performance but he did. It is really incredible.
@@CDLJz FMAB and Hero Aca are the only animes I like watching in Dub these days (though I still prefer Sub for Hero Aca, since it's an 11/10 compared to the 9.5/10 I'd give the Dub). Idk who did the voice casting and directing for both the Sub and Dub on Hero Aca, but they deserve all the damn praise!!!
I was terrified that Clifford Chapin wouldn't be able to pull off such emotion that I had been hoping for. But mother of all that is holy, he blew me away. I never knew he could do something like that since the only roles I know him in are the MC of Tokyo Ravens (couldn't remember the name off the top of my head), Raishin from Unbreakable Machine Doll, and Bakugou in MHA. I frequently return to this episode just to see how he nailed it again
My fav MHA episode. I'm both happy that we're finally here and sad that we're near the end! Some input for the discussion: *1.* Todoroki. While I do believe that Shouto is, along with Bakugou and Deku, one of the strongest three in the series, I don't think he's necessarily their rival. In the sports festival arc he challenged Deku as a rival for the sake of proving something to his father, but I feel like now Shouto's main conflict in the story is, like you said, himself, his father, accepting his powers, etc. *2.* Bakugou's had subtle hints of development and these "weaker moments" before in the series! But a lot of people overlook them because they're followed by more of his anger, such as the pair exams, the win at the sports festival, etc. I'm glad they've dedicated this episode to it and outright dragged it out of him for us lol *3.* The dub for this episode was great, I don't care what all of the sub enthusiasts say, I enjoy both and I think the dub VA for Bakugou did a fantastic job with the emotions we're supposed to feel. The visuals for this episode were also beautiful, Deku's kicks with the green energy around them and Bakugou's final blow in the air downward blessed my eyes *4.* IF I HEAR ANY OF YOU MENTION BAKUGOU POSSIBLY BEING A VILLAIN EVER AGAIN AFTER THIS EPISODE WE'RE GONNA HAVE SOME PROBLEMS
This is the first time I watched the Dub of this episode and I gotta say the voice actors killed it. Brought back the same wave of emotions I felt the first time I watched it subbed!
Yep, that was brilliant voice acting, just as good as sub. Yes, va of Bakugo nailed the job (in both versions), but as sub watcher I have to say that midoriya's dub va is finally doing better in emotional moments, and I hope he keeps getting better in later seasons. The main reason I still prefer sub is because in emotional moments (aka mostly big fights and strugles) japanese va work much better (except this fight, and maybe all might vs nomu), that's why in majority sub reactions people (myself included) sympathize with deku and don't mind him crying like at all while dub reactions are like "omg man why are you crying again, stop" (even when he has 2 broken legs, f up arm and is falling after big jump and might die). In sub va got that mongolian throat singing skill, I have no idea what they are saying most of time (without subtitles) but I tear up, feel inspired and energetic at the same time. But the dub have more jokes and some really good improvised lines, it's one of those shows that you can watch in both versions and it will be great in different ways (despite everything happening on the screen being the same).
WHOO I'm glad the English dub was able to capture the same emotions as the original Japanese version! Bakugo's speech and his voice breaking down always gives me chills
Mathematically speaking, Deku going from 5% to 8% is a *60%* increase in power- it's likw if he started out beijg able to bench 150 pounds, but trains so he could bench 240.
One of my favorite episodes. Clifford Chapin absolutely blew it out of the water. And you can tell that the animation team put everything into this episode - the swooping shot is apparently incredibly difficult to do in 2D animation, but they wanted to do it so badly that they did it anyway. That shot isn't in the manga. Also did you notice that the music is the same piece that plays during the All for One fight?
I’m surprised they didn’t play the “You Say Run V.3” OST. That is literally Bakugo’s and Deku’s theme mixed into one. I was REALLY surprised they didn’t use it here.
When I first watched this episode, I thought two things: 1)Nobuhiko killed it 2)Clifford's got his work cut out of him There were a few translation bits that felt off in terms of timing, i.e. impact, but man, Cliff delivered. I wonder how the crew is going to react to these last TWO episodes. Remember when people wanted them to react to more than one a week?
This ep finally made me like Bakugo and understand the hype , i still don't really like the fact that he was a bully but i guess no one's perfect. Great character development this ep. Hands down my favourite ep in the series so far.
I started liking him when he got kidnapped and told Deku to stay back. That liking grew over the course of the season as I saw him silently suffer under the weight of everything that happened. This episode made me root for him for the first time, and now, like Deku does, I want to see what he could become...
I think this video could help a lot, there's a lot of other subtle things you can easily miss about his character which can be sad th-cam.com/video/DFrE5EEiqyo/w-d-xo.html
In the sub Deku says Bakugo is the incarnation of victory for him, his feelings for beating Bakugo is stronger than his feelings for saving Bakugo, because he looked up to Bakugo as much as All Might. For him, he needed to beat Bakugo in order to live up to the expectations and standard of All Might. Which In turn Bakugo felt the same way as they got older. That's why they make such good rivals.
Bakugo can use those huge explosions without gauntlets lol, he used em multiple times this fight. And even back when he fought All Might with Deku there was a whole thing about him realizing he cant beat all might without taking any risk. The gloves just store the sweat so it makes it easier to use em.
777 MangaKing 777 yeah there’s recoil no matter what however based on what we know of his Quirk withstanding the recoil is easier than forcing out the sweat and withstanding the recoil
About the line Rick like "My ideal of victory is so tigh to the image of you.." in Japanese is even better in my opinion, Deku actually says "In my head, you are the image of victory". It explains so well why during the exam fight against All Might at the end of season 2 Deku punched Kacchan hard and yelled "Don't you dare to say you rather lose!" and he was kinda of angry with him. It was a great episode because their feelings were exposed, more Kacchan's feelings than Deku's tho. I think Kacchan as a long way to learn how to address his anger and relationship with Deku. Being good rivals is a first step. The idea of the future duo isn't actually far-fectched, it's actually a possibility because of the hints left by the author so far. =) All Might and Endevour were both UA students, they both graduated from UA, but they weren't in the same year. All Might is much older than Endevour. The latest has this competition in his head, but they weren't rivals the way Bakugou and Midorya are now. All Might was too ahead of everyone else that nobody had ever thought to "compete" against him in a way. Only Endevour never gave up on this goal. See you at the next episode!
yeah I was gonna say this too. this was done very well in dub, translation-wise. In sub Deku tells Bakugou that he was the hero Deku admired after All Might but it was different because Bakugou was actually approachable/in his life.
@32287489543 Of course it has the same meaning, but when I said that in Japanese is better (to me) it's because grammatically speaking Deku used a form that put importance in his words. A kind of importance related at how truly he feels about Kacchan being the image of victory in his mind him. It's a nuance you can miss if you don't know it's there. =)
Shoot Style (in anime so far) is typically based on kicks for example Sanji from One Piece Uses Shoot Style because as a chef he doesn’t use his hands for fighting just his legs.Hirokoshi was not the first to use Shoot style in this way.
Shooting in a word used to reference initiating a takedown in any wrestling sport. Shoot or Strong-style is a professional wrestling term used to reference moves that make harder contact than regular sold moves. Basically, it's borderline real hits. I think the reason Deku named it that was to show that his fighting style is going to be very honest and straightforward full contact hits, which is very physically demanding especially in regards to durability. **cough** Or it could just be a cool name Hiroshi used to differentiate Deku's old fighting style from his new one which uses kicks.
Early MMA was often called Shoot Fighting and original fighting organizations like Pancrase had the fighter wearing shin pads and they couldn't punch to the face. Combining Deku's new leg gear and the fact he has to lay off the punches and you have his Shoot Style.
One very subtle change the anime did over the manga that I *love* so much is when they are walking back to be scolded by Aizawa. The manga just has All Might walking ahead of them and Midoriya and Bakugo walking side by side in a lane. The anime decided to change it a little so All Might is walking on top of the lane's dividing line, and each of them is walking at one side of the white line. When you look at the first 2 seasons, the anime has *always* , in episodes and OPs, adapted the concept of a lightning black line between Midoriya and Bakugo as the visual representation of their anger, conflict and hostility to one another; now, after they have finally become more rivals than enemies, there is still a line separating them... But it's smooth, instead of the violent lightning, and white instead of dark. A small tweak to the composition that visually shows how their relationship evolved into something more positive for the both of them.
Just so you know, in the manga Bakugou is the one to start that conversation at the end. It might not seem like a big difference who starts it at first, but it shows that he is there to actually help Deku without being pushed to.
That's a mistranslation in the fan translation. The official translation from viz has it exactly like the anime. It caught me off guard the first time I watched the episode, since I also thought it was bakugou who initiated the conversation from reading the fan translations.

"This was pure character-building." Eric nailed it; this is what pushes HeroAca to another level for me. The fights and powers are creative and amazing, but when its beating heart is the characters who become more multilayered the longer we spend with them, THAT'S when all those elements shine together. Love, love, LOVE this episode and you guys have become my favorite reacters! Keep up the awesome work!
2:58 to answer Calvin's question, Bakugo can control the amount of sweat he secretes. This is a feature he inherited from his mother, who can secrete a moisturizing substance from her skin at will, that keeps her skin moistured and makes her look younger than she actually is.
Tho the stakes are relatively low, and not a ton actually happens, this is one of my favorite episodes. I love the nuances of Deku and Kacchan's relationship that they really flesh out here. One particular thing to notice is how after deku realized kacchan was dealing with repressed anger and guilt, he *immediately* flipped from defensive to offensive, recognizing Katsuki's need to work out his emotions through serious battle. Deku knew what to do the second he had a grasp on the situation, indicating just how close the two really are despite the unhealthy nature of their relationship. Deku once again goes all out (well, as all out as you can get in a sparring match) with the intention of helping his opponent piece out the noise in his head. The same happened after their combat training, the only other time we've seen katsuki open up about his insecurities thus far. I think it lends to the idea that rather than being the source of katsuki's rage, deku acts as a conductor of it, helping Katsuki's turbulent emotions untangle into something manageable and familiar.
This episode is to shut up DUB haters, i've watched sub my whole life and will still do so, but if you look at this and tell me dub can't be well made and give just as much emotion idk what to tell you. Both performances were amazing and this show is just incredible, im gonna miss it so much once they finish
Eh, I don't think the majority of people think this shows Dub is bad, as its a really good voice cast, I think a lot of people just happen to preferred the sub. I think most people are okay with both versions of this show, and just have a slight preference to one or the other.
Both performances were indeed amazing. But translating the dialogues to dub wasted so many good parts of the sub. That's why i still prefer the sub over the dub.
That being said I don't think Endeavor was All Might's rival since I think All Might is older than him. Endeavor is 46 right now; Aizawa, who is 31, also couldn't have been his rival.
@@legendaryzorosanjitard3636 he was over 18 and already have hero licence when he moved to us. Also movie usually isn't canon unless they specifically said so.
Worth mentioning, to my knowledge All Might is Endeavor's senior, though I don't believe its ever stated they went to school at the same time. They did go to U.A. though, just at different times. Endeavor is 45-46 years old, and Allmight's age is still an unknown factor, but its fairly safe to assume that he's probably into his 50's at this point.
Sometimes it’s a little over two months. In Georgia at least lasts from the end of May to the Beginning of August, though we get longer breaks at around Christmas and Thanksgiving. It may just vary State to State.
@@brandonlyon730 For New Jersey it begins around the third week of June and ends around the first week of September. So 2.5 months may be more appropriate to say
@@joan15 2 and half is probably more accurate but yeah that long. Winter break is usually a week to a week and a half. Spring break usually the same length as winter
Au'Myin Sampson I don’t remember, it’s been a while since I’ve seen the fight. But that was the only time Todoroki was punched by Deku. I assume it was 5% because of how weak it was compared to his other attacks, if it was any stronger Todoroki probably would have got launched out or quite injured.
This is definitely a contender for my favorite episode of MHA. I'm a sucker for epic and well choreographed fights, but when you weave heartfealt character growth aswell, you've really made something special. Also, lets give a shoutout to those animators who made this episode so breathtaking (if anyone knows their names, please let me know).
I dont think that Toga is the Spy at the U.A. The Spy-Thing started with the USJ attack back in Season one. There the League of Villan already know about the Place, the Students and that All Might is there at that time (in the Schedule). But Toga Joined the League of Villans at the end of Season 2. So Toga cant be the Spy.
But they knew about that because they used the distraction of the press getting in after Tomura broke down the gate to get their hand on that info. That doesn't require a traitor in UA yet.
@@Firedonify Tomura just Broke the Gate of U.A. to make chaos to give the Taitor inside the chance to look for the internal Informations. Thats what i think. I dont think, that tomura himself was going in to look up the informations. I already have a Person in my mind, who is the Traitor but yeah. The point is: Toga cant be it.
I’m native Japanese speaker. I love Japanese voice actors. Especially Nobuhiko Okamoto (Bakugo) is my favorite. But in this episode, I can’t choose good one, sub or dub. If you have time, you should watch sub.
MASSIVE props to both voice actors, sub and dub, for bakugo. I don't think I've ever heard him that broken before Also, I love seeing the boys as proper rivals at last
This is hands down my favorite fight and episode of the series. So much is coming at the viewer at once, the emotion, visuals, powers. I've been waiting for this reaction for weeks and was not disappointed. Keep up the great work guys
Great episode. Definitely one of my favourites. Really opens up a lot of emotions and development for both Deku and Bakugo. I never thought Bakugo would blame himself for All Might’s retirement and it actually breaks my heart when you hear the crack in his voice when he finally opens up. It’s the first time I’ve felt genuinely sad for Bakugo. The animation is great and the fight sequences are really hype, especially the part where Deku’s lightning and Bakugo’s explosions collide which leads to Deku spinning and kicking which is so awesome. The best part is when All Might comes in to have that discussion with both Deku and Bakugo about how they can strive as heroes by understanding each other. It’s really heartfelt and emotional. The voice acting from Justin, Clifford and Chris was excellent. The actors really nailed the emotions that their characters were feeling. However, this still doesn’t justify Bakugo’s behaviour in the past. It doesn’t mean I like him properly yet but it’s a really good start by having him open up with the emotions that he’s been feeling. Hopefully this is the start of Deku and Bakugo having a more healthy relationship now even if it’s still a rivalry, it can now become more healthy and less toxic. The after credit scene was a great example of Bakugo finally talking to Deku properly without snapping or losing his cool. He was actually giving him advice and it felt really nice.
My favorite episode of the series! The characters rawly putting their vulnerabilities out in the open while fighting no holds barred all the while incredible animation to back it all up.
That's maybe the best reaction of this fight I've seen so far. All the hype they showed it was like I was watching the episode again for the first time. Keep on the good work guys !
lol I'm watching these reactions for the fist time and now its Feb 2020 so a little over a year but that funny how erik said that at the end of the video. 15:44
I realize I’m two years late for a comment but I like coming back to these reactions and I would just like to say something lol. I HATE it when people are all like “pfft, Deku’s only at so-and-so percent, Bakugo would get slugged at %100!!” Deku can’t use all his powers cuz HE is not strong enough. He’ll get stronger as he gets older to be able to use all that power. Bakugo is literally the same. It’s heavily implied that he holds back a lot for two reasons. 1: He doesn’t actually wanna kill anyone, suggesting he could easily if he wanted to, and 2: because his powers hurt him. Same as Deku’s does. Bakugo won fair and square, stop pushing the idea that Deku wasn’t at 100%
I like the fact that in the previous episode they said they where not that hype for the fight and when they see it they get emotional and say the episode is one of their favorites
I’m not sure if it’s ever been said in the manga or anything, I’m not caught up yet, but I’ve always just assumed that anyone with a quirk is naturally tougher than a normal person. It at least gives a reason why all these people with random quirks can withstand shit like this, and how in the beginning the doctor said they’re a more refined form of human.
I know this is an older video and Idk if anyone else has said this. But I'm pretty sure shoot style is a soccer reference. Shooting in soccer is when you kick the ball towards the goal, as opposed to dribbling (keeping the ball in your possession while moving down the field and past defenders) and passing (sending the ball to your teammate to receive). While shooting is usually a more powerful kick because your goal is to get past the goalie and into the goal, it also requires precision to aim.
Gotta say, the animation in this episode is probably the most consistently amazing in the entire series. 2x10's clash was breathtaking, 3x4's retaliation was incredibly intricate but this episode has like 5 different moments like that and everything inbetween is just fucking great. This could legit be used in a classroom to exemplify the animation principles. I think my favorite little detail is when Bakugo throws Deku so hard that he can't regain balance and just crashes into the railing. It's something you so rarely see in any animation but it conveys so much weight and power, i love it.
This is the first anime that I’ve watched both subed and dubed and I I really like both versions~ especially in this episode, Bakugo’s voice actors both made my eyes all teary~
Endevour went to UA, All might went to college in America and made his debut as a hero there. This is why his attacks are names of the states. He went to America because spoilers revealed in the upcoming OVA of NANA vs All For One.
I think that much was obvious, but I'm pretty sure both Bakugo and Deku would see it as "cheating" if Deku used more than his body could handle. It's like blowing yourself up to kill someone, yeah sure you killed him, but you're also dead, soooo...
Toga can't be the spy. His first appearance was most likly already during the rescue-center arc, so long before Toga joined them. While the press created a distraction, the spy had to get the timetable for the next days so that the attack could happen in the first place. It is highly unlikly that Shigaraki or Warpface could have getting into the teachers-room to get their hands on the timetable and leave within that short of a time.
Maybe I'm wrong, but because I've been playing soccer since I was 5, I'm pretty sure Deku calls his new kicking attacks "Shoot Style" because it is reminiscent of soccer moves. I'm a goalie so I've seen those big swooping kicks he does whenever someone tries to shoot on net. What really sold me on it, is that amazingly animated and fast footwork shot where he winds up before bringing his foot down on Kacchan. As soon as I saw that particular scene I read it as a dead wringer for footwork in soccer.
After watching Bakugo's breakdown in the sub ( streamable.com/iucfq ) I never thought the dub would be able to match up, but Bakugo's voice actor did a great job in both versions. I am beyond impressed by both.
There is a chance Allmight is a bit older than Endeavor. Remember, people joke that he hides his age, and Cementos mentioned he admired Allmight when he was a child himself. Also, in the flashback when Gran Torino was discussing the middle schooler Allmight (likely 14-15 years old), Torino looked like a young adult at most in this 30s, and now he is like ancient.
Based on the whole 8% of all mights power not damaging bakugo that much, there’s a theory (spoiler free) that the lightning is the energy of one for all that dekus body physically can’t contain because it’s still pretty small and not a complete vessel
Man, this episode made me cry so much! Just amazing! Love the voice acting here, just hit right in the feels and the animation ah just beautiful! Loved the reaction and commentary from you all as well. What a great relief to actually see the rival included in the main characters' secrets. The communication finally happening between them - ;_; So good!
Can we just applaud Bakugo's fighting style, having perfect control and high mobility with something as wild as " explosions " is insane(especially flying, since they're not thrusters like IronMan for example). That one moment where he fails to catch Deku with an explosion which ended propelling him into the air only for him to use it as a way to get behind Deku instantly and punch him, I don't think anyone is even close to the fighting skills that Bakugo has.
I do want to point out the very first opening for My Hero. Remember when it shows Deku and Bakugo and there's that black line, separating them? How when it zooms in close to their faces it starts to vibrate out of control until they turn around and punch each other? It symbolizes their rocky relationship at that point. Here, in this episode, when All Might says that they could learn something from each other, the line that separates them is completely still when they look at each other. It's the first time they finally get an understanding about each other.
Honestly with bakugo being able to take huge hits to the face and still be standing I'm pretty sure that handling explosions all the time would give you some pretty good durability
that's the one thing that's preventing bakugo from becoming a villain -- when shit hits the fan, he blames himself, not others. that's a complete lack of deceit right there. the three ingredients to villainy are deceit (to others or to yourself), malevolence (achieving ends via the worst means), and arrogance (in that there's nothing more for you to know). at the start bakugo had malevolence and arrogance, but even those he's learning to get rid of, slowly but surely.
This is when Deku and Kacchan really stepped closer toward the All-Might vs. Endeavor kind of relationship. Endeavor wanted to be the #1, but he didn't want it gifted to him. Just like Kacchan wants to be the best, but he wants to win while the other gives it 100%. They don't particularly like each other (well, 1 side does, but the other gets annoyed) but they at least respect each other. Deku seemed to finally earn some of Kacchan's respect this episode. And the animation and music of this episode was terrific, but the dialogue...sensational.

you guys are getting in theory talks already which is still unknown in the manga also. Imagine if bakugou has 2 quirks or All might has a unknown quirk only activated after he "lose" his given power. So many speculation
Please react to hxh or code geass series .
@@finexk9 Umm they are reacting to Code Geass..
His shoot style is him using only kicks
One thing about Bakugo power is that his body isn't ordinary. Remember when Deku used his grenade gauntlet and hurt him a lot? All the time when Bakugo uses his power, his hands are like a fire cannon but still he is not hurt from any of the blasts he creates. That is because his body has really good endurance so taking 8% of all might strenght punch and not getting hurt too badly is acceptable :)
This is one of the reasons that I love MHA so much. The developments with Iida shutting himself off emtoionally about Stain, Shoto's humorous comment about being cursed in making peoples' arms get injured, Froppy feeling like she can't hang out with everyone else after the rescue attempt, and Bakugo feeling helpless and responsible for All Might's retirement are all some good examples of this in the series. Those are all points where it's clear that Kohei Hoshikori _really_ thinks about how all his characters individually perceive events as kids & how they don't always understand things from the perspective of the audience, or the way that another character would think of things in their shoes. They're the moments that make the characters feel even more real, and the voice actors' work just comes in to absolutely knock it out of the park.
This episode has excellent animation, and also continues down the path of not having Bakugo become a villainous rival, even though he's a jerk, he failed the licensing exam, and is in the position to be a foil to Midoriya on top of all that. It's little subversions in the common shonen tropes and twisting them in a different direction that makes it even more interesting as a story for me. Still hands down one of my favourite episodes of the series so far.
Its cliche kid show and it brings nothing new so i would call it a garbage series
Libel TouRe
Not everything innovative has to be good. That applies to all aspects of life.
You’ve probably haven’t brought anything new to the world, does that make you a garbage person?
Why are so far into the reaction that you’re still complaining?
@@libeltoure7970 it's a 6/10, but I'd be lying if isn't a fun series to follow.
@@libeltoure7970 it's not a kid show though fam adults watch this too so is Avatar a garbage series aswell and have read the manga come fam with the hate and the positives
@@libeltoure7970 YAY! BAIT! I must bite! *nom nom*
Seeing Shane tear up when All-Might hugged Bakugo was great, usually he seems like the least emotionally affected in most of these reactions but I couldn't help but tear up as well.
He has his moments, but that's partly why I like their reaction setup. Everyone has their own opinions and things that get to them so you can get multiple views of one situation. I can't remember the specific times but Shane has teared up on occasion.
Shane cries like a baby watching the Last Samurai for the 100th time, he's susceptible to emotions when it involves fighting haha.
stranger things season 1 finale, the man broke
Ragnar's death had them all tear up
Poor Shane wasn’t the only person who cried when All Might hugged Bakugo 😭😭 I cried when Bakugo blamed himself for All Might lost his power
Man... It's not often that we see Shane and Aaron get THIS emotional.
Bakugo can still make as big of explosions without his gauntlets, it was shown in the midoria and bakugo vs all might episode. The gauntlets just make it so there’s no backlash and strain on his body. Yes the gauntlets do store up his sweat but that only releases when he pulls the pin from the grenade/gauntlet. Btw i loved the episode and your guys’ reaction. :)
Also to note that fact that his explosions can have such backlash is the reason why he's so tough and strong. Same reason why the vibration guy from the other school in the license exam was resistant to Gang Orca's sonic stun attack thing.
Big, yes, but not like he was doing in this fight; firing something that big without the gauntlets hurts him enough to make him slow between explosions; if he had been using them, he could have pretty much doubled the size of every explosion he sent in this fight and still fight with the same speed and with just as tiny gaps between attacks.
But same thing goes for Midoriya, if he had his metal shoes that kick to Bakugo's arms would have *at least* cracked a bone.
I’ve always like Bakugo because I felt that there was so much more to him and I liked him for a different reason then Deku but this episode just reaffirms the great character that is Bakugo. Kinda reminds me of how I felt about Zuko
The Firelord was considerably less bloodthirsty than Bakugo
@@DarthCaedus7 Bakugo was always more bark than bite. He might talk in a way that seems evil, but deep down he always wanted to do good. First instance you can tell is the first fight in class with Izuku when Bakugo's being rough but is still thinking in a way that wouldn't kill and/or *seriously* injure him.
By the way, while watching episodes from All Might's retirement till this episode, Kacchan had such eyes with kinda "unseen sadness"(except moments when he became angry). And only when I rewatched episodes, I realised. It was foreshadowing that this whole time, Bakugo was deep in sorrow thinking that do to his fault All Might lost his power. Rewatch the episodes and you will understand what I meant by his "facial expressions".
Indeed, Good foreshadowing!
Don't compare Zuko to him. Zuko is sooo much better. A close character to him would be maybe Todoroki, but Midoriya, Bakugo, etc are not the same as Zuko. What you said it's almost an insult to Avatar. :(
Season 1 * 2 Zuko is like a mix of Todoroki and bakugo, the anger is there but it was much easier to see why he felt that way.
"My Image of Victory is of you"- Deku to Bakugo
"all might was my hero, but you were the one actually in my life" - also deku
my idea of victory is so tied to the image of you being in my way is the actual quote and os great
Yeah, I watched the episode, too.
Oh man the voice actor killed it. Goosebumps and tears at the same time equals a damn good time.
I had only seen the Japanese version and the VA killed it there too. I was worried that Clifford wouldn't be able to match Nobuhiko's performance but he did. It is really incredible.
Yeahh really loved the emotionss.. really loved nobuhiko's voice cracks too..
@@CDLJz FMAB and Hero Aca are the only animes I like watching in Dub these days (though I still prefer Sub for Hero Aca, since it's an 11/10 compared to the 9.5/10 I'd give the Dub). Idk who did the voice casting and directing for both the Sub and Dub on Hero Aca, but they deserve all the damn praise!!!
Really? I thought it was bad. At least you liked it though
I was terrified that Clifford Chapin wouldn't be able to pull off such emotion that I had been hoping for. But mother of all that is holy, he blew me away. I never knew he could do something like that since the only roles I know him in are the MC of Tokyo Ravens (couldn't remember the name off the top of my head), Raishin from Unbreakable Machine Doll, and Bakugou in MHA. I frequently return to this episode just to see how he nailed it again
My fav MHA episode. I'm both happy that we're finally here and sad that we're near the end!
Some input for the discussion:
*1.* Todoroki. While I do believe that Shouto is, along with Bakugou and Deku, one of the strongest three in the series, I don't think he's necessarily their rival. In the sports festival arc he challenged Deku as a rival for the sake of proving something to his father, but I feel like now Shouto's main conflict in the story is, like you said, himself, his father, accepting his powers, etc.
*2.* Bakugou's had subtle hints of development and these "weaker moments" before in the series! But a lot of people overlook them because they're followed by more of his anger, such as the pair exams, the win at the sports festival, etc. I'm glad they've dedicated this episode to it and outright dragged it out of him for us lol
*3.* The dub for this episode was great, I don't care what all of the sub enthusiasts say, I enjoy both and I think the dub VA for Bakugou did a fantastic job with the emotions we're supposed to feel. The visuals for this episode were also beautiful, Deku's kicks with the green energy around them and Bakugou's final blow in the air downward blessed my eyes
*4.* IF I HEAR ANY OF YOU MENTION BAKUGOU POSSIBLY BEING A VILLAIN EVER AGAIN AFTER THIS EPISODE WE'RE GONNA HAVE SOME PROBLEMS
This is the first time I watched the Dub of this episode and I gotta say the voice actors killed it. Brought back the same wave of emotions I felt the first time I watched it subbed!
Same!!
Yep, that was brilliant voice acting, just as good as sub. Yes, va of Bakugo nailed the job (in both versions), but as sub watcher I have to say that midoriya's dub va is finally doing better in emotional moments, and I hope he keeps getting better in later seasons.
The main reason I still prefer sub is because in emotional moments (aka mostly big fights and strugles) japanese va work much better (except this fight, and maybe all might vs nomu), that's why in majority sub reactions people (myself included) sympathize with deku and don't mind him crying like at all while dub reactions are like "omg man why are you crying again, stop" (even when he has 2 broken legs, f up arm and is falling after big jump and might die). In sub va got that mongolian throat singing skill, I have no idea what they are saying most of time (without subtitles) but I tear up, feel inspired and energetic at the same time.
But the dub have more jokes and some really good improvised lines, it's one of those shows that you can watch in both versions and it will be great in different ways (despite everything happening on the screen being the same).
WHOO I'm glad the English dub was able to capture the same emotions as the original Japanese version! Bakugo's speech and his voice breaking down always gives me chills
Mathematically speaking, Deku going from 5% to 8% is a *60%* increase in power- it's likw if he started out beijg able to bench 150 pounds, but trains so he could bench 240.
Yeah, "just a slight increase" might be a _tad_ of an understatement.
All that crap is thrown out of the window now with the new chapters just saying
New chapters were getting a bit slow though, now shit's happening again rap! WOOO PROGRESS AND THINGS!
@@ArlanKels ikr! It'll be hype he's really spiderman now 😂
Good explanation!! Thank you🥺
Deku getting that 8% was lit AF
One of my favorite episodes. Clifford Chapin absolutely blew it out of the water. And you can tell that the animation team put everything into this episode - the swooping shot is apparently incredibly difficult to do in 2D animation, but they wanted to do it so badly that they did it anyway. That shot isn't in the manga. Also did you notice that the music is the same piece that plays during the All for One fight?
"Swooping shot"? Which shot was that?
The one where they're both jumping in the air, towards the end.
The staff at Studio Bones is my hero
I’m surprised they didn’t play the “You Say Run V.3” OST.
That is literally Bakugo’s and Deku’s theme mixed into one. I was REALLY surprised they didn’t use it here.
You Say Run is one of the best musical scores for an anime I've ever heard
“I WON’T LOSE TO YOOOOUUUU!!!!”
Gets me every time.
they are forgeting Deku and Bakugo vs All Might in the exam ,that was a great episode and had a bit of character development fo Bakugo in it !
When I first watched this episode, I thought two things:
1)Nobuhiko killed it
2)Clifford's got his work cut out of him
There were a few translation bits that felt off in terms of timing, i.e. impact, but man, Cliff delivered.
I wonder how the crew is going to react to these last TWO episodes. Remember when people wanted them to react to more than one a week?
Shoutout to bakugo va . Man putting in work
Rick cried when bakugo talked about his feelings
I know I was like damnn...
"Maybe you're watching a year from now and you can watch them all right now"
Eric's talking to me. Awesome
same.
Same
This ep finally made me like Bakugo and understand the hype , i still don't really like the fact that he was a bully but i guess no one's perfect. Great character development this ep. Hands down my favourite ep in the series so far.
I started liking him when he got kidnapped and told Deku to stay back. That liking grew over the course of the season as I saw him silently suffer under the weight of everything that happened. This episode made me root for him for the first time, and now, like Deku does, I want to see what he could become...
I think this video could help a lot, there's a lot of other subtle things you can easily miss about his character which can be sad
th-cam.com/video/DFrE5EEiqyo/w-d-xo.html
In the sub Deku says Bakugo is the incarnation of victory for him, his feelings for beating Bakugo is stronger than his feelings for saving Bakugo, because he looked up to Bakugo as much as All Might. For him, he needed to beat Bakugo in order to live up to the expectations and standard of All Might. Which In turn Bakugo felt the same way as they got older. That's why they make such good rivals.
Best boy mirio incoming!!
POWERRRRRRRRRR
POWERRRRR!!!!!!!
POWERRRRRRRRRR
"Sorry if you saw my willy!"
Yes!!
Bakugo can use those huge explosions without gauntlets lol, he used em multiple times this fight.
And even back when he fought All Might with Deku there was a whole thing about him realizing he cant beat all might without taking any risk.
The gloves just store the sweat so it makes it easier to use em.
True but if he does those big explosions without the gauntlets it seems to put more strain on his arms.
777 MangaKing 777 yeah there’s recoil no matter what however based on what we know of his Quirk withstanding the recoil is easier than forcing out the sweat and withstanding the recoil
About the line Rick like "My ideal of victory is so tigh to the image of you.." in Japanese is even better in my opinion, Deku actually says "In my head, you are the image of victory". It explains so well why during the exam fight against All Might at the end of season 2 Deku punched Kacchan hard and yelled "Don't you dare to say you rather lose!" and he was kinda of angry with him. It was a great episode because their feelings were exposed, more Kacchan's feelings than Deku's tho. I think Kacchan as a long way to learn how to address his anger and relationship with Deku. Being good rivals is a first step.
The idea of the future duo isn't actually far-fectched, it's actually a possibility because of the hints left by the author so far. =)
All Might and Endevour were both UA students, they both graduated from UA, but they weren't in the same year. All Might is much older than Endevour. The latest has this competition in his head, but they weren't rivals the way Bakugou and Midorya are now. All Might was too ahead of everyone else that nobody had ever thought to "compete" against him in a way. Only Endevour never gave up on this goal.
See you at the next episode!
yeah I was gonna say this too. this was done very well in dub, translation-wise. In sub Deku tells Bakugou that he was the hero Deku admired after All Might but it was different because Bakugou was actually approachable/in his life.
@32287489543 Of course it has the same meaning, but when I said that in Japanese is better (to me) it's because grammatically speaking Deku used a form that put importance in his words. A kind of importance related at how truly he feels about Kacchan being the image of victory in his mind him. It's a nuance you can miss if you don't know it's there. =)
@@Shirahime04 i agree, i feel as if he was being more direct with what he feels towards kacchan
Shoot Style (in anime so far) is typically based on kicks for example Sanji from One Piece Uses Shoot Style because as a chef he doesn’t use his hands for fighting just his legs.Hirokoshi was not the first to use Shoot style in this way.
Shooting in a word used to reference initiating a takedown in any wrestling sport. Shoot or Strong-style is a professional wrestling term used to reference moves that make harder contact than regular sold moves. Basically, it's borderline real hits. I think the reason Deku named it that was to show that his fighting style is going to be very honest and straightforward full contact hits, which is very physically demanding especially in regards to durability.
**cough** Or it could just be a cool name Hiroshi used to differentiate Deku's old fighting style from his new one which uses kicks.
Early MMA was often called Shoot Fighting and original fighting organizations like Pancrase had the fighter wearing shin pads and they couldn't punch to the face. Combining Deku's new leg gear and the fact he has to lay off the punches and you have his Shoot Style.
Glad I came across these replies, I've wondered what the hell "shoot style" meant for months, just figured it was a cool name
@@blackmanwhitesuit I thought it was a soccer reference lol
I've seen this episode a few times already (both sub and dub) and still gives me the chills!!
One very subtle change the anime did over the manga that I *love* so much is when they are walking back to be scolded by Aizawa.
The manga just has All Might walking ahead of them and Midoriya and Bakugo walking side by side in a lane.
The anime decided to change it a little so All Might is walking on top of the lane's dividing line, and each of them is walking at one side of the white line.
When you look at the first 2 seasons, the anime has *always* , in episodes and OPs, adapted the concept of a lightning black line between Midoriya and Bakugo as the visual representation of their anger, conflict and hostility to one another; now, after they have finally become more rivals than enemies, there is still a line separating them... But it's smooth, instead of the violent lightning, and white instead of dark. A small tweak to the composition that visually shows how their relationship evolved into something more positive for the both of them.
Just so you know, in the manga Bakugou is the one to start that conversation at the end. It might not seem like a big difference who starts it at first, but it shows that he is there to actually help Deku without being pushed to.
That's a mistranslation in the fan translation. The official translation from viz has it exactly like the anime. It caught me off guard the first time I watched the episode, since I also thought it was bakugou who initiated the conversation from reading the fan translations.

"This was pure character-building." Eric nailed it; this is what pushes HeroAca to another level for me. The fights and powers are creative and amazing, but when its beating heart is the characters who become more multilayered the longer we spend with them, THAT'S when all those elements shine together. Love, love, LOVE this episode and you guys have become my favorite reacters!
Keep up the awesome work!
14 min reaction.. yeah i thought this would be a hard edit lol
Bakuguo almost made me cry in this episode, my angry son😭😭
2:58 to answer Calvin's question, Bakugo can control the amount of sweat he secretes. This is a feature he inherited from his mother, who can secrete a moisturizing substance from her skin at will, that keeps her skin moistured and makes her look younger than she actually is.
After them comparing Deku to The Flash this ep, I can only think about... You Say Run, DEKU! RUN!
I'll show myself out... XD
Tho the stakes are relatively low, and not a ton actually happens, this is one of my favorite episodes. I love the nuances of Deku and Kacchan's relationship that they really flesh out here. One particular thing to notice is how after deku realized kacchan was dealing with repressed anger and guilt, he *immediately* flipped from defensive to offensive, recognizing Katsuki's need to work out his emotions through serious battle. Deku knew what to do the second he had a grasp on the situation, indicating just how close the two really are despite the unhealthy nature of their relationship. Deku once again goes all out (well, as all out as you can get in a sparring match) with the intention of helping his opponent piece out the noise in his head. The same happened after their combat training, the only other time we've seen katsuki open up about his insecurities thus far. I think it lends to the idea that rather than being the source of katsuki's rage, deku acts as a conductor of it, helping Katsuki's turbulent emotions untangle into something manageable and familiar.
This episode is to shut up DUB haters, i've watched sub my whole life and will still do so, but if you look at this and tell me dub can't be well made and give just as much emotion idk what to tell you. Both performances were amazing and this show is just incredible, im gonna miss it so much once they finish
Eh, I don't think the majority of people think this shows Dub is bad, as its a really good voice cast, I think a lot of people just happen to preferred the sub.
I think most people are okay with both versions of this show, and just have a slight preference to one or the other.
It was amazing! No one can say that wasn't good, I felt the same way I felt when I watched the sub first time
Joao Pedro Damaso indeed dub earn it place
Joao Pedro Damaso I like both dub and sub doesn’t really matter what anime it is
Both performances were indeed amazing. But translating the dialogues to dub wasted so many good parts of the sub. That's why i still prefer the sub over the dub.
Wow the dub really came through on this episode nice!
My favorite episode of the show so far!! :D
All Might and Endeavor are both alumni of UA as shown in episode 4 of season 1.
That being said I don't think Endeavor was All Might's rival since I think All Might is older than him. Endeavor is 46 right now; Aizawa, who is 31, also couldn't have been his rival.
@@Alekaid You are 100% right, All Might is atleast 10 years older than Endeavour.
@@Alekaid if u watched the movie all might moved to america to be a hero so he never went to ua as a student
@@legendaryzorosanjitard3636 he was over 18 and already have hero licence when he moved to us. Also movie usually isn't canon unless they specifically said so.
@@soritahin1283 the movie is canon, the story was made by horikoshi
Man dekus spinning axe kick was so epic . The animation for that one moment looked so good .
The Dub was perfect! congratulations to the english voices. they were amazing.
Hi from Argentina
Endeavor saw all might as a rival, but I don't think it was the other way around. Lol.
Worth mentioning, to my knowledge All Might is Endeavor's senior, though I don't believe its ever stated they went to school at the same time. They did go to U.A. though, just at different times. Endeavor is 45-46 years old, and Allmight's age is still an unknown factor, but its fairly safe to assume that he's probably into his 50's at this point.
Kudos to the voice actors, especially Bakugo's VA. Those performances were really impressive and heartfelt
The character development this season with Bakugo is amazing. He starts so hated and becomes so many people's favorite characters
In Japan, summer break actually only lasts about 5 weeks as opposed to the US 3 months.
Sometimes it’s a little over two months. In Georgia at least lasts from the end of May to the Beginning of August, though we get longer breaks at around Christmas and Thanksgiving. It may just vary State to State.
@@brandonlyon730 For New Jersey it begins around the third week of June and ends around the first week of September. So 2.5 months may be more appropriate to say
@@joan15 2 and half is probably more accurate but yeah that long. Winter break is usually a week to a week and a half. Spring break usually the same length as winter
I'll say it everytime someone reacts to this fight.
That meteor drop Bakugou did at end is the sickest shit ever
For everyone that finished season 3 already you already know why I’m excited for the next 2 reactions I swear he’s gonna blow their mind😁😁😁💯💯💯
Todoroki also took a 5% punch like right in the gut.
When was that again?
Au'Myin Sampson tournament.
@@azazelop5223 that wasn't confirmed 5 percent thought was it?
Au'Myin Sampson I don’t remember, it’s been a while since I’ve seen the fight. But that was the only time Todoroki was punched by Deku. I assume it was 5% because of how weak it was compared to his other attacks, if it was any stronger Todoroki probably would have got launched out or quite injured.
wasn't that just a normal punch?
This is definitely a contender for my favorite episode of MHA. I'm a sucker for epic and well choreographed fights, but when you weave heartfealt character growth aswell, you've really made something special. Also, lets give a shoutout to those animators who made this episode so breathtaking (if anyone knows their names, please let me know).
I dont think that Toga is the Spy at the U.A.
The Spy-Thing started with the USJ attack back in Season one. There the League of Villan already know about the Place, the Students and that All Might is there at that time (in the Schedule). But Toga Joined the League of Villans at the end of Season 2. So Toga cant be the Spy.
But they knew about that because they used the distraction of the press getting in after Tomura broke down the gate to get their hand on that info. That doesn't require a traitor in UA yet.
@@Firedonify Tomura just Broke the Gate of U.A. to make chaos to give the Taitor inside the chance to look for the internal Informations. Thats what i think. I dont think, that tomura himself was going in to look up the informations.
I already have a Person in my mind, who is the Traitor but yeah.
The point is: Toga cant be it.
I’m native Japanese speaker.
I love Japanese voice actors.
Especially Nobuhiko Okamoto (Bakugo) is my favorite.
But in this episode, I can’t choose good one, sub or dub.
If you have time, you should watch sub.
Emilio Valdovinos
Dub is awesome, Sub is also awesome, so.
Yo, this episode was my favorite episode. The animation! The fight! The emotion! Everything blew me away! Wowzas!
MASSIVE props to both voice actors, sub and dub, for bakugo. I don't think I've ever heard him that broken before
Also, I love seeing the boys as proper rivals at last
This is hands down my favorite fight and episode of the series. So much is coming at the viewer at once, the emotion, visuals, powers. I've been waiting for this reaction for weeks and was not disappointed. Keep up the great work guys
Great episode. Definitely one of my favourites. Really opens up a lot of emotions and development for both Deku and Bakugo. I never thought Bakugo would blame himself for All Might’s retirement and it actually breaks my heart when you hear the crack in his voice when he finally opens up. It’s the first time I’ve felt genuinely sad for Bakugo. The animation is great and the fight sequences are really hype, especially the part where Deku’s lightning and Bakugo’s explosions collide which leads to Deku spinning and kicking which is so awesome.
The best part is when All Might comes in to have that discussion with both Deku and Bakugo about how they can strive as heroes by understanding each other. It’s really heartfelt and emotional. The voice acting from Justin, Clifford and Chris was excellent. The actors really nailed the emotions that their characters were feeling. However, this still doesn’t justify Bakugo’s behaviour in the past. It doesn’t mean I like him properly yet but it’s a really good start by having him open up with the emotions that he’s been feeling. Hopefully this is the start of Deku and Bakugo having a more healthy relationship now even if it’s still a rivalry, it can now become more healthy and less toxic. The after credit scene was a great example of Bakugo finally talking to Deku properly without snapping or losing his cool. He was actually giving him advice and it felt really nice.
My favorite episode of the series! The characters rawly putting their vulnerabilities out in the open while fighting no holds barred all the while incredible animation to back it all up.
great performance from bakugo's VA(both in japonese and english)
That's maybe the best reaction of this fight I've seen so far. All the hype they showed it was like I was watching the episode again for the first time. Keep on the good work guys !
lol I'm watching these reactions for the fist time and now its Feb 2020 so a little over a year but that funny how erik said that at the end of the video. 15:44
Best episode of the season and up there for the show as a whole. S+
Been refreshing for hours for this!
I realize I’m two years late for a comment but I like coming back to these reactions and I would just like to say something lol. I HATE it when people are all like “pfft, Deku’s only at so-and-so percent, Bakugo would get slugged at %100!!” Deku can’t use all his powers cuz HE is not strong enough. He’ll get stronger as he gets older to be able to use all that power. Bakugo is literally the same. It’s heavily implied that he holds back a lot for two reasons. 1: He doesn’t actually wanna kill anyone, suggesting he could easily if he wanted to, and 2: because his powers hurt him. Same as Deku’s does. Bakugo won fair and square, stop pushing the idea that Deku wasn’t at 100%
I like the fact that in the previous episode they said they where not that hype for the fight and when they see it they get emotional and say the episode is one of their favorites
I’m not sure if it’s ever been said in the manga or anything, I’m not caught up yet, but I’ve always just assumed that anyone with a quirk is naturally tougher than a normal person. It at least gives a reason why all these people with random quirks can withstand shit like this, and how in the beginning the doctor said they’re a more refined form of human.
I know this is an older video and Idk if anyone else has said this. But I'm pretty sure shoot style is a soccer reference. Shooting in soccer is when you kick the ball towards the goal, as opposed to dribbling (keeping the ball in your possession while moving down the field and past defenders) and passing (sending the ball to your teammate to receive). While shooting is usually a more powerful kick because your goal is to get past the goalie and into the goal, it also requires precision to aim.
This episode is proof that the dub of this show can easily stand shoulder-to-shoulder with the sub.
Eric voice crack “HOw dID hE dO tHAt?” Gets me everytime!
Gotta say, the animation in this episode is probably the most consistently amazing in the entire series. 2x10's clash was breathtaking, 3x4's retaliation was incredibly intricate but this episode has like 5 different moments like that and everything inbetween is just fucking great. This could legit be used in a classroom to exemplify the animation principles. I think my favorite little detail is when Bakugo throws Deku so hard that he can't regain balance and just crashes into the railing. It's something you so rarely see in any animation but it conveys so much weight and power, i love it.
This is the first anime that I’ve watched both subed and dubed and I I really like both versions~ especially in this episode, Bakugo’s voice actors both made my eyes all teary~
Endevour went to UA, All might went to college in America and made his debut as a hero there. This is why his attacks are names of the states. He went to America because spoilers revealed in the upcoming OVA of NANA vs All For One.
Wait till he tells Bakugou he was only using 8%
I think that much was obvious, but I'm pretty sure both Bakugo and Deku would see it as "cheating" if Deku used more than his body could handle. It's like blowing yourself up to kill someone, yeah sure you killed him, but you're also dead, soooo...
One of the most beautiful episodes in the show!
First time I've seen shane get emotional O:~!
Toga can't be the spy. His first appearance was most likly already during the rescue-center arc, so long before Toga joined them. While the press created a distraction, the spy had to get the timetable for the next days so that the attack could happen in the first place. It is highly unlikly that Shigaraki or Warpface could have getting into the teachers-room to get their hands on the timetable and leave within that short of a time.
Now you get the chance to meet the REAL main character of the series
"POWERRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR"
this reaction and discussion is so good, i'm probably gonna rewatch both a couple times.
Maybe I'm wrong, but because I've been playing soccer since I was 5, I'm pretty sure Deku calls his new kicking attacks "Shoot Style" because it is reminiscent of soccer moves. I'm a goalie so I've seen those big swooping kicks he does whenever someone tries to shoot on net. What really sold me on it, is that amazingly animated and fast footwork shot where he winds up before bringing his foot down on Kacchan. As soon as I saw that particular scene I read it as a dead wringer for footwork in soccer.
now this is what i call an awesome fight. one of the best episodes by far...
After watching Bakugo's breakdown in the sub ( streamable.com/iucfq ) I never thought the dub would be able to match up, but Bakugo's voice actor did a great job in both versions.
I am beyond impressed by both.
There is a chance Allmight is a bit older than Endeavor. Remember, people joke that he hides his age, and Cementos mentioned he admired Allmight when he was a child himself. Also, in the flashback when Gran Torino was discussing the middle schooler Allmight (likely 14-15 years old), Torino looked like a young adult at most in this 30s, and now he is like ancient.
YES!!! I have been waiting for this, when you think this Anime can't get any better, BAM! They come with a beautiful fight and pep talk like this!
Based on the whole 8% of all mights power not damaging bakugo that much, there’s a theory (spoiler free) that the lightning is the energy of one for all that dekus body physically can’t contain because it’s still pretty small and not a complete vessel
Well, I see what you mean but that's wrong.
Fox sin whys that wrong? Nothing has been said to disprove it
The lightning is real, other people have commented on seeing it.
Fenrigus I’m not saying the lightning isn’t real? The opposite actually
Wow, that was fast. I could have sworn Blind Wave just started watching BNHA a month ago
Honestly erics reaction to the nuke drop is prob one of my favorites
Eric: "Idk, maybe you're watching this a year from now and can watch the rest of the series right now!"
Me: How the heck did you know?!
Man, this episode made me cry so much! Just amazing! Love the voice acting here, just hit right in the feels and the animation ah just beautiful! Loved the reaction and commentary from you all as well. What a great relief to actually see the rival included in the main characters' secrets. The communication finally happening between them - ;_; So good!
literally my favourite fight in the entire show so far i fucking love it
Watch the sub version of the fight. Baguko's voice actor killed it in both but the subbed is very special!
Can we just applaud Bakugo's fighting style, having perfect control and high mobility with something as wild as " explosions " is insane(especially flying, since they're not thrusters like IronMan for example). That one moment where he fails to catch Deku with an explosion which ended propelling him into the air only for him to use it as a way to get behind Deku instantly and punch him, I don't think anyone is even close to the fighting skills that Bakugo has.
Deku and bakugou and Todoroki are my favorite characters and all all might😁😁😁😍😍😉😉😉!!!!
I do want to point out the very first opening for My Hero. Remember when it shows Deku and Bakugo and there's that black line, separating them? How when it zooms in close to their faces it starts to vibrate out of control until they turn around and punch each other? It symbolizes their rocky relationship at that point. Here, in this episode, when All Might says that they could learn something from each other, the line that separates them is completely still when they look at each other. It's the first time they finally get an understanding about each other.
This is my favorite episode, as there is so much emotion as well as the best combat animation of the series, at least so far.
Best episode so far... not just because of the fight, but because these two actually become friends.
Dekugo, nice ring to it.
Honestly with bakugo being able to take huge hits to the face and still be standing I'm pretty sure that handling explosions all the time would give you some pretty good durability
that's the one thing that's preventing bakugo from becoming a villain -- when shit hits the fan, he blames himself, not others. that's a complete lack of deceit right there. the three ingredients to villainy are deceit (to others or to yourself), malevolence (achieving ends via the worst means), and arrogance (in that there's nothing more for you to know). at the start bakugo had malevolence and arrogance, but even those he's learning to get rid of, slowly but surely.
Gotta say the Dub is pretty good. Also what a fucking reaction, probably my favourite.
This is when Deku and Kacchan really stepped closer toward the All-Might vs. Endeavor kind of relationship. Endeavor wanted to be the #1, but he didn't want it gifted to him. Just like Kacchan wants to be the best, but he wants to win while the other gives it 100%. They don't particularly like each other (well, 1 side does, but the other gets annoyed) but they at least respect each other. Deku seemed to finally earn some of Kacchan's respect this episode. And the animation and music of this episode was terrific, but the dialogue...sensational.
Do you feel it? Just around the corner?
*whispers*
POWER!
