Wow, you must lack the capability of reading, because I see a great amount of comments talking about Todoroki's resolve, Midoriya's potential, Midoriya following the path of a true, the emotional impact Todoroki's flashback had, etc. You do realize that your in the minority, right? You see the episode poll, right? Is it that hard to accept that this anime is simply not for you, as the majority of people are satisfied with what this series is? BnHA is not my AoTS because I already have something that I prefer more than it, but that doesn't stop other people to believe what's right for them. You say the 8.7 score is unjustified, but you do realize that your opinion ≠ popular beliefs, right? You can say that you're not liking it as much as others, but that doesn't mean that the series doesn't deserve the popularity it has.


You would know all about the minority and popular beliefs right? Looking at your top 10, mainstream is all you know. Hypocritical talking about someone's opinion being unpopular when you are the embodiment of mainstream shounen fandom.

You're also assuming my thoughts on this season/episode reflect my thoughts on the series as a whole, including the first season...which is far from the case. Not that you would know from just making blanket assumptions.

The author did apparently cry over this episode and the person who wrote this is Kouhei Horikoshi. Mashima did Fairy Tail.

I missed reading that, I usually only go to anime and manga reddit.
I did know Horikoshi is the mangaka, it's just a little joke about the latest chapter of fairy tail

Great episode!


(Here comes a pessimistic rant though, because some things are just too stupid for me to ignore...)

I can't help thinking Deku behavior is really retarded though. He pays attention to all sorts of details about people's quirks. He's supposedly smarter than pretty much all others in this series. He should have been able to come up with a solid plan with his crazy analytical abilities.

In spite of all that, instead of finding the best opening to win the match and taking advantage of it, he fucking encourages his opponent to go all during the match... just to lose in the end precisely because of that. Which means basically Deku himself wasn't going all out, just like Todoroki said.

I can't put into words how retarded that is. If Todoroki loses the match because he doesn't want to go all out, then he deserves it. Just like Deku deserved to lose for being a major retard and encouraging Todoroki to pwn him. Instead of Deku becoming the rightful winner and shoving into Todoroki's face the fact that he's being childish for not going all out after the match, he goes out of his way to create a situation that leads to his own loss.

What a fucking fail! Congratulations for being a loser due to your own stupidity, I guess?

God damn, I should have known that the first season isn't indicative of the overall quality of the series, good shounen always start off slow. I gave it a six, but there's no way I could give this season less then an 8 rn, and if it keeps up it could become a 9. Man, this episode had me tearing up and shaking from excitement at the same time. This is one of the best episodes in the history of shounen adaptations.

And speaking of the best in history, that Nakamura cut was... just...it gave me everything, it gave me LOIFE HONEY YAAAS WERK BITCH COME THROUGH MHA SLAY ME DADDY! Yutaka Nakamura is the best, most talented animator in the history of animation, period, full stop. And as an animation buff, THIS is why I slog through the muck of mediocrity, THIS is why anime is my favorite medium. We should consider ourselves lucky to be alive in the age of Nakamura, the web-generation of miracles.

I may even buy the blu rays depending on how this season goes.

Total newb here, but absolutely loving Boku no Hero, one of the top anime I've seen.

There's just one thing that bugs me. I feel like that if Cementoss (and possibly Midnight) hadn't intervened, that Midoriya might've won.
I mean, those walls literally negated their attacks, and Todo's attack might've been more effective against cement walls than Deku's!

Called it!
Such a great episode- I thought it'd be difficult to top the Ochaco vs. Bakugoo from last week but this episode surpassed that by leaps and bounds. I'm a sucker for emotion and a bit of tragedy during a battle, and this episode definitely delivered!

Also drove home how opposite Deku and Todoroki are- one inherited his quirk from his parents, the other was given theirs; Deku aspires to be like his father figure (All Might), yet Todoroki spurns his biological father. All ironic when you consider they have the same goal but very different approaches.

I was so proud of Deku...giving up his chances of winning for a "real" fight with his rival. He wanted Todoroki to go all out, because no matter which one of them won, it wouldn't feel right to half-ass it! Plus, he taught him a valuable lesson- once you as an individual are gifted with an ability, it's 100% yours no matter where it came from.

I was really surprised that Todoroki used his left side so soon though...I had a fit at my desk, good lord!!

Also, was anybody else slightly disturbed at Endeavour's little...episode? O_O
Every time he turns up, I hate him a little more and like Todoroki a lot more.
Seriously, this episode did a lot for his character and now I get why manga readers like Todoroki so much! No wonder he hates his father- the guy made his mother insane!

Preview showed Iida vs. Ibara, Bakugo vs. Kirishima and Tokoyami vs. Mina...all of which should be very interesting match-ups!
I'm guessing Bones want this arc wrapped up my episode 12/13 since it seems to approaching the end now?

EDIT: Also loved how everyone looked astonished to find out that Bakugo actually thinks. Yes, he can be tactical guys!! XD

It really depends on what you prefer from BnHA. Unlike this arc (which is character-driven), the next arc will be story-driven. It will introduce themes that end up being important for the rest of the series. It's low on action, but it'll have one major fight that can be on par with Midoriya vs. Todoroki (depending on how the studio animates it). That being said, it's also a shorter arc too, so there'll be one more arc after that. As for my opinion, the next arc is my favorite from the series so far.

Why is a guy, who strives to become a hero and is constantly helping people in need no matter what situation he is in, trying to help todoroki ? oh gee I don't know, probably bad writing. There's also the fact Midoria cannot stand the fact people are intentionally not using their power considering his quirkless past, that's kinda insulting to him.

WOW. What to say about this episode other than AMAZING JOB, Bones! tbh I'd never given Todoroki much thought early in this season or at all last season (not a manga reader)... but how much the last few episodes have changed my tune... goddamn is he a cool character! Much as I was disappointed with the results last episode, I'm very much happy with the outcome here. Once again, excellent work to all involved with this ep.

The visual consistency blows me away, Bones has been part of some of the best fighting sakuga in the last two years or so.

So if you wanted to start reading, go from page 10 of Chapter 40.

Great episode but does anyone else think Midoriya could've won it a few times? When he got close and landed hit, he could've just used a little more power from his quirk to push out a fatigued Todoroki....doesn't take away from the episode, just something I noticed
he still can't control his power well. he can't use his full power on shouto cuz he'll die. so he thinks of the microwave and held back and punched him. he's not at the point where he can control how much power he uses in his punch yet. so the "use a little more power" isn't possible at the moment.

Great episode, we were all waiting for.
But it's still ok if Midoriya lost, because Todoroki is on a different level.
Remaining episodes of this season now aren't worth watching i guess, damn :(

if you don't watch the rest it'll be the greatest regret of your life, because the upcoming arcs are much better than the sports festival, all manga readers would agree with me. The next arc is when bnha truly starts to shine. the sports festival is just, in my opinion, a convenient way for the author to introduce us all the main and side characters, their quirks, and their relationship with each other. To prepare us for the later plot. It would do him no good to have something happen and suddenly pull some class b characters out there to fight along side with class a, when we don't even know wtf they are and what their quirks are. that's why the sports festival is necessary. the arc after this is when the story of bnha truly begins.

Haytin said:
Man fuck this whats the point of watching the rest of the tournament if the main character isn't in it.

Do you honestly expect Midoriya to win the tournament, defeat people like bakugo, todoroki, who have years of practice with their quirk, when he only just received his quirk a few months ago, and can barely control it? Boku no Hero is not the type of anime where the main character is super OP and all the side characters are below him, despite having more practice than he had. If you want OP characters, I direct you to Sword Art Online. Kirito never lost a battle and he became the strongest player by playing solo. That's the OP you want. Izuku is not.
derprume said:
Shouldn't Todoroki also be blasted away... Or are we ignoring physics here.

Midoriya was in the air, jumping towards todoroki when their power collides, so he was thrown back with no support, while todoroki, who has his feet planted on the ground, obviously has more support than midoriya has.

His power is broken he should've won the tournament but they wanted to turn Midoriya isn't a retard who wastes time just blowing back ice thats coming towards him. The fight made no sense they completely dumbed him down just so he would lose. I read ahead in the manga too, this arc is trash completely disappointing.

"this arc is trash"
Lets see what 10 episodes of this arc has gotten for us...
"introduce more of side character quirks"
"todoroki's problem"
"bakugou's character exploration/development"
"uraraka's character development"
"todoroki's character development"
"midoriya's resolved"
"glorious animation"
you're right, its pretty trashy right? :v

honestly, if you read manga(and ahead of it) i'm not really sure why are you disappointed with this arc. if you prefer if midoriya just wreck everything and become OP that made all the side/supporting character seems useless then i understand why you disappointed with it.
but yea, i doubt that will happen in this show. as fa as i read the manga, the mangaka put his attention to his side character too. thats a good plus for me because that make lot of his character likable/lovable...

This show's awful tropes are starting to get tiring. Supposed to be about some kid who has OP god tier powers, and neither he nor any of his friends ever win jack shit. Finally stops crying for an episode and you think things might go well and it just turns into the same shit. Just like how he contributed nothing during the villain attack on the field trip.

The fuck is the point of a shounen show when the MC and all of his friends fucking suck ass? That's the polar opposite objective of the genre generally speaking.

that 8.7 rating is completely unjustified up to this point. wtf.


whats the point of a shounen show? the 3 key elements of shounen is friendship, Effort, and Victory. Boku no hero has all of that. Therefore, it fits being Shounen. It seems you've grown used to the cliche way shounen genre usually operates and refuses to be open to innovative plots. Shounen, like u said, always has a mc and his friends who kickass and is OP and has a plot that's enemy shows up, mc and his friends fight, struggles and some losses, win in the end, new enemy shows up, and such. I'm not saying boku no hero didn't follow that format at all. it just started with characters who aren't at that level yet. look at shigaraki, a villain (not even the big boss) who almost killed aizawa if not for others' interference. those noumu too are deadly and, despite being prototypes, they almost got all might. if the pro heroes have troubles dealing with them, what makes you think the kids, the students can start kicking ass? they need to train first, because right now, they are weak. they suck ass, true, that's why they need to train to become powerful. nobody starts out being strong (if you want an op mc in the beginning of an anime, maybe Sword Art Online is more your type).

AOTY??? Lmao, watch more anime please.

Nah it's definitely AOTY. Not sure if you've noticed this but almost everyone loved this episode.

AOTY is just your opinion. I love Bnha, being up to date with the manga and everything, and I believe this is better than Naruto Bleach and One Piece combined. But, I wouldn't call it "AOTY" because of Attack on Titan season 2. That is 10/10 for every episode so far this season and is a hard foe for Bnha to defeat if you want to call it AOTY.

no he shouldn't have won the tournament, because he cannot control his power while his opponents all have years of practice and has complete control over their power. izuku can only block the ice attacks because he needs time to think up tactics and observe to find openings to strike. how would you make him win? use OFA on his legs to boost himself towards todoroki and use a full power smash on todoroki and kill him? or think of the microwave and use half of his power, and ends up having his attack blocked by ice? and then he'd have broken his fist and leg, how would you expect him to fight, let alone win, in that situation? therefore the smart thing to do isn't to attack at first chance, but to observe his opponents attacks to look for weak spots. That's being smart. And that is also why Bakugo didn't launch a full scale explosion at uraraka in the beginning to blow her out of bound, because what if she avoids the explosions and manages to get close to him? He's said himself that he has a limit and that the full scale explosion hurts his hand. that would be a bad situation for bakugo. And the same goes for izuku.

Finally stops crying for an episode and you think things might go well and it just turns into the same shit. Just like how he contributed nothing during the villain attack on the field trip.

The fuck is the point of a shounen show when the MC and all of his friends fucking suck ass? That's the polar opposite objective of the genre generally speaking.

that 8.7 rating is completely unjustified up to this point. wtf.


whats the point of a shounen show? the 3 key elements of shounen is friendship, Effort, and Victory. Boku no hero has all of that. Therefore, it fits being Shounen. It seems you've grown used to the cliche way shounen genre usually operates and refuses to be open to innovative plots. Shounen, like u said, always has a mc and his friends who kickass and is OP and has a plot that's enemy shows up, mc and his friends fight, struggles and some losses, win in the end, new enemy shows up, and such. I'm not saying boku no hero didn't follow that format at all. it just started with characters who aren't at that level yet. look at shigaraki, a villain (not even the big boss) who almost killed aizawa if not for others' interference. those noumu too are deadly and, despite being prototypes, they almost got all might. if the pro heroes have troubles dealing with them, what makes you think the kids, the students can start kicking ass? they need to train first, because right now, they are weak. they suck ass, true, that's why they need to train to become powerful. nobody starts out being strong (if you want an op mc in the beginning of an anime, maybe Sword Art Online is more your type).

Nah it's definitely AOTY. Not sure if you've noticed this but almost everyone loved this episode.

AOTY is just your opinion. I love Bnha, being up to date with the manga and everything, and I believe this is better than Naruto Bleach and One Piece combined. But, I wouldn't call it "AOTY" because of Attack on Titan season 2. That is 10/10 for every episode so far this season and is a hard foe for Bnha to defeat if you want to call it AOTY.

agreed, while i really love BnHA, to claim it to be AOTY when its still half a year is a bit rude to other shows, atleast wait till this year ended.
This show is amazing, but be sure to respect other show too. ^^

garbage episode wtf, the objective is to win so why was that retard helping todoroki and making him stronger, when he could just punch him 100% power and win, if the last fight is also garbage i will drop this shit, I'm fucking disappointed


Why is a guy, who strives to become a hero and is constantly helping people in need no matter what situation he is in, trying to help todoroki ? oh gee I don't know, probably bad writing. There's also the fact Midoria cannot stand the fact people are intentionally not using their power considering his quirkless past, that's kinda insulting to him.


mmmm, I would not call it bad writing because this trait of deku to help him fits the ideal of a hero in this world. I understand why you might have an issue, but to me this fight would be nowhere near as good if they only had deku trying to simply win and the emotions weren't there. Which is why i personally find dragon ball so lackluster

bad writing? idk about that, but it fits deku's character quite well in my eyes. Honestly winning in this tournament really means nothing if the person winning is like endeavour. If he could participate and crush everyone I dont consider him to be in anyway heroic compared to others.

sorry about the double sumbit. Im still learning how to reply to things.

I wouldn't say 95% either. But I'd definitely argue somewhere around 80...maaaaybe 85% at most.

besides...It's not THAT farfetched. This is the same community that will knowingly rate any ecchi anime a 6 or lower simply because...it's ecchi.

Don't say it as if everyone in this community is like that, because that's not true. I, for one, rate anime based on the enjoyment I received while watching it. I may rate Prison School a 10/10 because I love how it mix ecchi with comedy (and goodcomedy) and I definitely had a good time watching it, and Naruto a 7/10 because the talk no jutsu is infuriating me. Not everyone gives ecchi anime low ratings just because of ecchi, these are people who hates porn and ecchi and just goes around giving them low ratings because of their own belief. But most people here rate anime due to enjoyment, not the genre.

You're calling me hypocritical for assuming something, despite the fact that it was reflected in your original comment (that you liked the first season). Yet your judging my taste in anime by simply looking at my favorites. That's like me saying that you only prefer anime with cute girls by simply judging your favorites. I love Gintama, so I put it in my favorites. I love Bebop, so I put it in my favorites. I love JoJo, so I put it in my favorites. Should I kick them off my list because their 'mainstream'? Since your too ignorant to find it out yourself, I watch almost all the anime that airs in a season because I want to open myself up to different types of anime; both the stuff that I like and the stuff that I hate. But go ahead, keep on believing that mainstream is all I know. Keep on calling others hypocritical for the same problems you have yourself.

Your complaining about a lack of constructive writing available on this thread. If people found an episode enjoyable, then they have all the rights to express their love online, and they shouldn't be restrictive to 'objective writing'. Your so-called 'constructive critisism' is literally just you complaining about the fact that the protagonist didn't win this fight and how him and his friends haven't done anything at all. Sure, Midoriya's got OP powers, but he can't control them properly because he's been only using them for a month or so. How the hell to do you expect him to beat a person who's basically spent his entire life training his powers. Do you really prefer MC plot-armor over a more realistic and believable outcome. And if you really want some 'objective writing', here's this and this. These reviews have more credibility to them than any of our comments, since, you know, they're actual journalists and not some random person with no journalism experience trying to sell his point to others.


See? You didn't like when I assumed your tastes either. Maybe the takeaway is to...not do that? Seemed like you figured at what I was getting at pretty quickly.

"Objective writing" means unbiased. I don't care if people liked the episode or not. If they did, they did. I said that if they liked it they should be able to put some intelligent thought behind as to why, not that they have to be nothing but objective. I never called my criticism constructive. Why would it be anyway? Constructive implies giving advice to the creator for them to improve. They don't care about MAL comments.

As to the criticism itself, yes that's exactly what I'm complaining about. All of the main characters have been nothing but losers so far; despite having good powers/friendship/teamwork etc. Deku especially has been given an incredible quirk and its essentially been wasted because all of his efforts thus far have amounted to nothing. It's not about plot armor or gary-stu at all. And I wouldn't enjoy seeing Deku or anyone just run train either. I think it would've just been better writing to have him beat Shoto and then lose his next fight due to his injuries from being reckless (since they made a point to mention it heavily during the fight). I'd also argue it would've been better for Shoto's character development to get a dose of humility from a loss to the underdog.

I appreciate the links, unfortunately I just happen to dislike both IGN and ANN. At least you went through the trouble of posting them at all.

I have no intention of joining this argument, and I can see where you guys' are coming from both sides. But I have to say this after seeing you call the main characters "losers". You say they're weak after seeing them fight each others, that means they have lot more to learn and grow before they can become strong enough to face the enemy. Our mc izuku has only received his power about a month ago, and there's no way he can gain control over it and become strong enough for your standard. Others too, they are just students. And if you call them losers because they're weak comparing to the villains, then keep in mind that even pro heroes like aizawa and all might has troubles with the antagonists, how do you expect our mcs to become strong enough in this case? Therefore, they're not "losers", they are just starting out their hero careers, they are only at the beginning of the climb. More struggles and practices are awaiting them before they will become strong. And "loser" is a total insult to how much effort they've put into their dreams. losers are people who cannot stand up for themselves and never succeeds in anything they do? Can our mcs stand up for themselves? bakugo will blast your face if you say no. Can they succeed? definitely, if they can get into the top hero academy in the country.

Unless Violet Evergarden, Vento Aureo, Legend of the Galactic Heroes(Production I.G) comes out, I don't see any other anime topping Boku no Hero(especially the arc after this)


After the next arc, this shounen anime will prob top all those mainstream ones, however, i have doubts about AOT s2. that's on a roll this season. each episode is 10/10 for most people. it'll be difficult to beat.

Great episode!


(Here comes a pessimistic rant though, because some things are just too stupid for me to ignore...)

I can't help thinking Deku behavior is really retarded though. He pays attention to all sorts of details about people's quirks. He's supposedly smarter than pretty much all others in this series. He should have been able to come up with a solid plan with his crazy analytical abilities.

In spite of all that, instead of finding the best opening to win the match and taking advantage of it, he fucking encourages his opponent to go all during the match... just to lose in the end precisely because of that. Which means basically Deku himself wasn't going all out, just like Todoroki said.

I can't put into words how retarded that is. If Todoroki loses the match because he doesn't want to go all out, then he deserves it. Just like Deku deserved to lose for being a major retard and encouraging Todoroki to pwn him. Instead of Deku becoming the rightful winner and shoving into Todoroki's face the fact that he's being childish for not going all out after the match, he goes out of his way to create a situation that leads to his own loss.

What a fucking fail! Congratulations for being a loser due to your own stupidity, I guess?

"I can't put into words how retarded that is."
It's because that's you. You're not Izuku. You cannot relate to him because he's a quirkless nobody and wants to be a hero so bad yet everyone tells him "no" simply because he doesn't have a quirk. And here we have todoroki born special, has a powerful quirk, and he rejects part of it. It's a total insult to izuku, who's born with nothing, who's fighting against todoroki, who's born with everything and isn't giving his all. besides, winning a battle when ur opponent isn't at his 100% wouldn't look good on u. remember, the tournaments is for u to show urself to the hero agencies. just by winning wouldn't get you that. look at hatsume mei, she lost, but im sure many support companies are gonna fight for her and her "babies". besides, izuku wants to become a hero who saves people, not saying anything about todoroki's problem doesn't suit him. but u wouldn't understand because you cannot relate to him.

His power is broken he should've won the tournament but they wanted to turn Midoriya isn't a retard who wastes time just blowing back ice thats coming towards him. The fight made no sense they completely dumbed him down just so he would lose. I read ahead in the manga too, this arc is trash completely disappointing.

"this arc is trash"
Lets see what 10 episodes of this arc has gotten for us...
"introduce more of side character quirks"
"todoroki's problem"
"bakugou's character exploration/development"
"uraraka's character development"
"todoroki's character development"
"midoriya's resolved"
"glorious animation"
you're right, its pretty trashy right? :v

honestly, if you read manga(and ahead of it) i'm not really sure why are you disappointed with this arc. if you prefer if midoriya just wreck everything and become OP that made all the side/supporting character seems useless then i understand why you disappointed with it.
but yea, i doubt that will happen in this show. as fa as i read the manga, the mangaka put his attention to his side character too. thats a good plus for me because that make lot of his character likable/lovable...


you're right in that this anime focus a lot on side characters, in contrast to the other mainstream shounen. this shows in the newest chapters of bnha when the mangaka gave the 2 fan-made characters more screentime, instead of giving them a few panels and throwing them aside. seriously love this mangaka.

That last explosion is so epic that I came so hard my ball went dry.
But it's important to remember that a movie review is subjective;it only gives you one person's opinion.

It doesn't matter if you like LoGH,Monster etc.If you are a jobless or college/school dropout living in your mom basement, you are still an unintelligent loser. Taste in anime does not make you a better person.If elitist don't exist, casual pleb and shit taste also don't exist.

It's not like I can't relate to how much effort it took him to become a hero. If there's one thing I admire in life, it's definitely the determination it takes to accomplish major life goals. And it doesn't stop there, because I'm also incredibly analytical, just like Deku when he was watching the show. I mean, just read my previous post for crying out loud, that much should be obvious hehe. What I can't relate to is how stupid Deku's decision is despite everything I said above.

The issue isn't the fact that he wants to help the guy. Deku proves his point by pushing Todoroki to a point he can't win without his other powers, which is fantastic. But then, he decides to go out of his way to convince him [i]during[i/] the match for no good reason.

He could have easily taken advantage of Todoroki's stubbornness to win when he reached a point he couldn't fight anymore, then said the same things right after the match to make him realize he's chosen the wrong path, which would be obvious enough already even without him saying.

The battle did look like a spectacle at the end of the day, but it was already a huge confrontation even before Todoroki decided to go all out. You can't say Deku would have looked bad by winning here, that's just so wrong I can't even begin to describe it. And this certainly wouldn't have been the only fantastic battle in the tournament for him. So no, I don't think the logic cuts it.

If he used his full power to land a punch, he'd of kill him.

Landing a punch like he did is not only a lot more dangerous, but also less effective. But he did get close enough to land a punch, so instead how about fucking grabbing Todoroki and throwing him away with enough strength that he wouldn't be able to avoid leaving the ring? Far less dangerous, far more effective.

Or maybe knock him out like a boxer by hitting him with a moderately powerful uppercut, although it's easy to argue that it wouldn't suit the series even if it's logical. Anyway, that's beyond my point. I wasn't talking about how he could have won per se. The issue is that he lost because he was trying prove a point AND convincing his opponent in the middle of a match, rather than prove his point by outclassing him to a point he couldn't win with his mother's quirk alone, then not giving him a chance to recover and convincing him LATER.

Shouldn't Todoroki also be blasted away... Or are we ignoring physics here.

Midoriya was in the air, jumping towards todoroki when their power collides, so he was thrown back with no support, while todoroki, who has his feet planted on the ground, obviously has more support than midoriya has.


Someone already answered this... There was ice around him after the blast; so either not all of the ice was melted away or he formed more ice during the blast. Just having his feet on the ground would not of been sufficient to stop the force from the air pressure.
