| at first I thought that Deku might release a full power of One for All unconsciously to hit All Might, lol all those handicap didn't even budge All Might lol |
| Bakugo learns the value of teamwork and not being an asshole finally. All Might was still a boss even with the weights. He was so frightening. |

In those days, we really believed that to be the world's one, and only, truth. But the world isn't perfect, and the law is incomplete..." -Alphonse Elric "Then and now, what I protect has never changed!" -Sakata Gintoki I'll take anything like The Pet Girl of Sakurasou. Anything as good as that. |
| Oh man, this episode sure delivered! This arc was just what I needed and I loved it, so much character development on everyone. Looking forward to picking up the manga after the last episode next week. |
 |
| Ugh Kacchan is really annoying, seeing him get punched by Deku felt good. I really hope he gets better later on, because by now he's just insufferable. 'Encounter' huh, this is gonna be interesting... |
| Baby, daijobanai... |
| Dabi and Toga's voices are perfect, I love how they sounded Lelouch0202 said: You pretty much said it allAwesome episode, animation in the second half was amazing. Bones delivering as always. Loved how Deku and Bakugou were forced to put aside their issues and cooperate to win. All Might's eyes are always so damn cool. xD I love how this episode showcases the amount of conviction Bakugou has, about winning only the way he chooses and that he'll never accept something different. That moment when he murmurs that in a half dead voice while All Might is holding him is so damn powerful. I'd even call it sorta of inspirational since sticking to your convictions is one of the things you must do no matter what. Bakugou is one of the best examples of that even if he comes off as a jerk at times. Also loved it when Deku went back to get Bakugou from All Might, his naive heroism is what I love about him the most and I always love seeing that trait in action. All Might watching the two as they escape was nice, he definitely was in a super weakened state but I like to think he let them win since they learnt their lesson. Soundtrack was off the charts as usual and they even played 'You can become a Hero'. <3 Great roundup to the arc with Deku's little narration and now let's move onto an interesting little encounter next episode and a hopeful S3 announcement. Plus Ultra! This is just the start of the BakuGOAT greatness! |
| really nice seeing this fight animated and with next ep being the last ep of the season they picked the perfect part to end this season also finally get to hear Toga's voice and it fits perfectly |
| "one step at a time" |
| An awesome and brutal episode! I don't want the season to end next week! :( |

Lorenzo said: Dude what are you smoking, it was established from the very beggining that Bakugou wants to become the greatest hero, and it's being brought up over and over again. There is literally no way that he'll become a villain. Like another poster said here, Bakugo acts nothing like a hero would. It goes beyond the point of being an edgy anti-hero sort of type. Even other characters in the show acknowledge this and have pointed out on more than one occasion that he doesn't act like a hero and at least once said that he behaves like a villain. Wanting to be the greatest hero is far from all it takes to actually become even a modest everyday hero. And yeah, it's being brought up over and over, it's just as likely that it's setting his character up for a fall from grace (well... a dip in this case) by reinforcing the notion. |
Is this girl important somehow? Everyone is talking about her like she's a big deal but she seems more like a secondary villain to me. Well, it's kinda refreshing to finally have a female villain since BNHA had none so far. |

Danniel said: Is this girl important somehow? Everyone is talking about her like she's a big deal but she seems more like a secondary villain to me. Well, it's kinda refreshing to finally have a female villain since BNHA had none so far. Well, yeah she's a secondary villain, but she still plays a big role. Until now, Shigaraki was the acting leader of the League of Villains, then you have All for One as the actual leader and the only other one worth mentioning was Kurogiri. But with the addition of Toga (the girl) and Dabi (the guy) that changes now. In USJ, the villains aside from Shigaraki, Kurogiri and Noumu were basically just fodder, but from now on there are secondary villains acting beneath Shigaraki, who are taking orders from him. As the League of Villains is at least currently the main antagonist, characters like Toga and Dabi are bound to play a big role. You could say that from the structure of the organization, it's kind of like Akatsuki in Naruto where you have someone leading the organization and secondary villains beneath the leader who still play a big role in the story. Only the structure is similar though, aside from that both organizations are completely different. At least so far, Toga has probably been the secondary villain with the most appearances and screen time in the manga. For a secondary villain, she definitely plays a really big role. |

It doesn't matter that he doesn't act like a hero, that's something he will have to change in the future in order to become a hero. He's a teenager, so his emotions are kinda all over the place and that's definitely not a permanent thing. His behavior is an issue, but that doesn't matter, because he has unwavering determination to become a hero and I can't imagine what kind of thing would have to happen to break that determination. |
| Trouble with the teamwork but they cause some damage and manage to pull out a escape. Deku giving kachan a wake up call when he started with his loser talk. |
 |
| Look at this annoying little prick getting all cocky and mighty lmfao :v Felt so DAMN GOOD when he was made aware of the power gap in the battle once again. I mean seriously, taking your stand in tough battle is all cool and all but one really needs to think when to keep pressing forward or when to to give up. Although, the overall result favored those two, I don't like how it was executed, at least on the Bakugo part. The bastard needs to fucking calm down. |

But it does matter that he doesn't act like a hero. It does matter that his behaviour is an issue. It informs his character. It tells us that he lacks several key factors in being a hero. Heck, he lacks several factors in being a decent person, period. Maybe it isn't permanent, we can't say for sure any which way until it happens, but what we can be sure of is this: Bakugo has been an asshole his entire life. All of Bakugo's stated motivations are based on pride and selfishness. Something that can easily be subverted into villainy. |
| Good episode, nice the last fight wrapped up in one episode. |

Becoming a hero is way more important for him than his pride and selfishness, he WILL overcome that. I'm certain that he will become a decent person at some point, because he actually has to. |
| WHOOOOO! How could you not love this episode! All Might shows how badass he is and Midoriya and Bakugo show there determination and will...in any other sense it's just your average shounen plot...but in this anime they pull it off with perfection! The animation was so clean and the dialogue was really well done...A++++++ 100/10 PERFECTION! ok maybe I'm a little over hyped but still it was a pretty amazing episode...and it looks like the next and final episode of the second season will leave us with a cliff hanger that will shock and keep us asking "WHEN IS SEASON 3 COMING OUT ALREADY!?!" I can't wait to see what happens |
| I shall rule over the realms of anime and manga! Mwahhahahahaha!!! |
| i only All Might is at full power then they will never pass that test and yes its spoiler to know why he is not in full power and its not the heavy weights fault lol |
SpikeykoaLa said: Huh. Still hate Bakugo, the fight was kind of weak, and this episode was pretty poorly animated. Definitely disappointing. These last 2 episodes have been pretty sub-par and lackluster, but it will take more than that to taint this season for me. That's why you don't build up unrealistic expectations. |

| Oh man such an intense episode full of feels 5/5 |
| Great episode again,after seeing this for the second time it got even better. |
One Piece episode 914 & 915 & 1027 were a mistake and 957 brought the salvation - FMmatron |
| they REALLY nerfed All Might in this episode, even injured and stuff, he was too weak.. Disappointed. Amazing episode nonetheless, but disappointed. The animation was also not at the level of other episodes, but that might just be me. Anyway, feels 5/5, overall 4/5 |
 |
| hmmm Still hate Bakugo...but I guess that's what makes him Bakugo...last episode to go |
 |
| As expected, this was an AMAZING episode. They finally worked together! That was such a cool fight. The flashback still doesn't justify when Kacchan is so god damn angry all the time, but it certainly helped. I hope this character development makes Kacchan a little less unreasonably salty towards Deku, but we'll have to wait and see I guess. Next episode is intriguing. We need to know more about these villains! akiraic said: They couldn't have him go 100% against them. He would've killed them! And those weights on him were an actual nerf. It's not a plothole for convenience or anything.they REALLY nerfed All Might in this episode, even injured and stuff, he was too weak.. Disappointed. |
| All Might went all out against Bakugou and Deku, even with his restraints. They won, but with some bad injuries. All Might played his role as a villain rather well. The animation was top notch was well as the soundtrack. One more episode left. |
 |
| BEST EPISODE OML Seriously, seeing Bakugou and Deku reluctantly work together was quite something; I love how they both have similar conflicting feelings towards each other, but externalise it in different ways. It was actually pretty sad to see the lengths Bakugou will go to in order to win...it's like there's no filter on him. Like, I think those punches hurt me more than they hurt him- he got wrecked real bad this episode simply because he was unwilling to back down. It was also pretty inspirational to see Deku actually punch the guy he admires so much to save the childhood frenemy he reluctantly admires. I wonder if All Might will even be around to witness Baku and Deku working together better...probably not :/ Ending was hype as well. New characters officially introduced, and the preview has Shigaraki without hands on his face?!?! :O Boy, I seriously can't believe this is ending next episode. Seems like a really random and unnatural note to finish up the season on tbh...unless ofc we get an immediate announcement of a 3rd season (or an OVA at the very least). |

| Needless how much people can hate on Bakugo. Yes, he's an asshole and all but that just means that he has alot of room to grow. Compare Bakugo when the last when Hero academia ends and see how much he will come to grow. The punch at the end was epic, Deku returned to being cowardish in the episode but did what he does best at the end, which is to get a grip on himself and the situation. Last episode next week.......... I don't even want to imagine a saturday without Hero Academia |

| I really liked this episode. I had been wanting to see Bakugo's Origin episode for a while and I like how it differed from Todoroki and Midoriya's Origin episodes, All Might influenced each of them distinct in a way befitting of his status as the Number 1 hero. The battle was pretty onesided but Bakugo's sheer stubbornness and tenacity was admirable, don't get me wrong he's still a massive jerk and he had that beating coming but in spite of that underneath all that foulness and near villain-like aggression he's wholeheartedly dedicated to surpassing All Might and becoming Number 1. Midoriya talking back to Bakugo and punching All Might dead-on were pretty cool moments. Even with all the restraints and injuries All Might is still an absolute monster, which is to be expected. Bakugo's tenacity was arguably just as monsytorous as All Mights strength. I'm curious just how strong current All Might is compared to prime All Might... I got some Vegeta vibes from Bakugo this episode, his beatdown wasn't nearly as intense and he technically won his fight but the point still stands. It was nice to finally get to hear Dabi and Toga's voices, they sounded pretty fitting but they only said a line or two so I'll need to hear more of them to get a better grasp. Looks like Shigaraki's gonna be confronting Midoriya next episode, that's sure to be intense. It's hard to believe that this season's already ending next week. I've been following it since it started earlier this year but it feels like it was only yesterday that they were at the Sports Festivel and now it's all almost over. |
 |
| Fantastic episode. Bakugou & Deku vs All Might was awesome. All Might would make a terrifying villain. Not the best teamwork, but they managed to pass in the end. Both not giving up no matter what. Nice punch from Deku. Final episode next week. It's been an absolutely amazing season. Please announce Season 03. Plus Ultra! |

LuZeke said: G_Spark233 said: This episode showed once again why Bakugou is such a great character. Great character in the sense that he's really good at making you absolutely hate him, sure. But he's completely irredeemable. Everything about him screams villain, and I'd be pretty disappointed if he doesn't turn out to become a villain himself a la Stain. I'm pretty sure you'll change your opinion once you watch S3, because there's something going to happen to Bakugou in the upcoming arc. |

| Ohhhhh boi... was this an intense one. Bakugo kind of reminds me of Killua a little bit |
