| You know, I've always had this issue regarding as to which season was the better one, S2 or S3, I mean sure in season 2 the whole Sports Tournament Arc was awesome not to mention the Stain arc(That's what I call it C:) but still even Season 3 was equally good with the intense and exceptional first arc and the license exam arc was great too!! So for a time I considered both seasons being equally good that was until I saw this episode. Ever since I started watching MHA I've always wanted an episode that explored the friendship and rivalry of Midoriya and Bakugo, sure there may have been few episodes that did it but no episode did it as good as this one. This season had a lot of incredible stuff that I'm gonna remember for a long time to come and out of them this fight was one of the best.....I loved it and enjoyed every bit of it. I really am glad Bones studios are killing it with their amazing animation :D(Thank you Bones!!!) So yes now the 3 of them share All Might's secret :) and they've got some crazy punishments too by Aizawa Sensei 😂 |

| I was already pleasantly surprised at how much I was enjoying a serious I initially thought I would hate. Things were going really good, and then out of nowhere we get hit with an episode like this, and it makes me love it all even more. I can ramble on about the things I love from this episode, but basically it boils down to my appreciation for the mental growth of these characters, when your typical shounen usually only focuses on the physical growth. Cheesy warning: wtf boku no hero academia, you had me at the start of the tournament arc. Now you've found a way into my heart |

| Bakugou was open to Deku about his emotions, something that Deku wasn't used to. After speaking with All Might, I believe that the two are on better terms, but of course, are still rivals, but they've grown. |
 |
| Haha Deku said it. He's not nice enough at that time to be Bakugo stress-relieved sandbag! Though its expected how everything turned out, need to clarify it to Bakugo for their own good... But anyway, new semester begin, and new thread also begin to Crawling out, with a long prolonge filler ahead too? Yeah, sure, why not... |

Unpopular opinion but this scene wasn’t emotional to me in the slightest. Also, I feel nothing but hatred towards bakugou and anger towards his fans.
Because you’re a bitch ass motherfucker, thats why.

| I was so ready to dislike this confrontation, but damn I love that the show moved forward with Bakugou's character. I thought Bakugou's admiration for All Might is a little forced, but I didn't care much because it didn't play a huge role before.. it ended up playing a huge role in Bakugou's character, but it turned out for the better so I don't mind overlooking it, but it still didn't change the fact that Bakugou basically egged Deku on to kill himself at the start of the series, which is something that is not very "All Might-like". I don't like that they keep flashing back to when they were kids every time they have some sort of confrontation though, it gets old. Like All Might said, Deku x Bakugou is finally becoming a proper rivalry. I like that Deku, Bakugou and All Might all share a secret now, and that if the league of villains or AFO ever attack again, Bakugou would be an irreplaceable ally for Deku now, as he knows Deku's secret. |

Animation team is absolutely stacked this episode.
| @CalmTeaTime They did a fantastic job. Was awesome to watch. |
| This was an awesome episode. Nothing like a heartfelt battle where the combatants get their long held feelings off their chest. It was cool visually and has only made Bakugo and Midoriya true rivals. Definitely my favorite of the season! |
 |
| Glad to see those pent-up feelings finally laid bare. At least now they're finally actual rivals and on better terms instead of this bottled up anger that Bakugo had towards himself and Deku. Also the animation was a feast for the eyes here. |
 |
| I'm glad they actually fought, it was fun to watch. And it's nice to see that Deku's become slightly less meek. |
