And unfortunately he has to do so with Bakugo, imo the douchiest, most obnoxious character in the series. But hey, let's see WHY young Bakugo is such a douche. Oh, what's that? Absolutely no good reason at all? Okay then, sure. Well I did at least get an enormous amount of pleasure from seeing All Might make him spew. That was awesome, we need more of that! :D[/img]


Yeah, I know every popular shounen needs to have a Vegeta, but Bakugo is easily my least favorite of all the Vegatas. I think his douche levels are way too over the top, beyond just a harsh rivalry. This guy seriously HATES Deku for trying to help him up one time when he fell down... not a very good explanation for his behavior towards Deku.

It’s finally Bakugo and Deku’s turn as a team. Jesus Christ, Bakujoe’s temper tantrums and ego is so annoying but his pride is probably all he has. He used to admire All Might, he’s just like Deku but the difference is that he wants to become better than All Might, defeat him and prove he’s number one. While Deku wants to make All Might proud and become as strong as him.

I’m glad they were able to work together while still retaining their own personalities: Bakugo’s unending pride, arrogance and great strength and Deku’s inability to let others suffer while letting allowing himself to win. In the end, they both passed.

We got to see the blonde-haired villain girl again. I can’t wait to meet more villains in this series.

how do people actually like Bakugo? he's easily one of the worst characters. i really hope he gets better character development because so far he's been like "get out of my way! i am so cool and strong and no one else matters!" for no reason whatsoever, like i get it he hates Deku and is his rival or whatever but wtf. like this episode is the first time he slightly cooperated with Deku and still BARELY. the only good feature he has is that he's strong, that's literally it

I'm surprised people hate on Bakugo so much. It shows the difference in western vs. Japanese audience, I guess.

That aside, this was my favourite fight so far. 2 of my favourite characters against the strongest character. I really liked the scene where Midoriya punched Bakugo, I didn't expect that. And I also like the change in Bakugo already, I can't wait to see more of him.

I loved every single scene of this fight. From Midoriya and Bakugo struggle to them passing the exam. They have a huge potential as a team and I really hope that when they grow up, they will become a duo of heroes.

Why would All Might be that careless about destroying a city? Katsuki needs to follow the rules, he's supposed to team up with Izuku and he's not being a good sport. Why does that guy always got something bad to say about people? Did somebody hurt him? I feel like something traumatic has happened in this guy's past and I really want to know about it and why he's the way he is.

OMG, All Might made Katsuki throw up just like his elderly mentor did to him! All Might is really learning from his mentor! Yes, Izuku, punch Katsuki! He deserves that punch for being such a jerk to you and giving up the battle. Lol at Izuku jumping like a bunny after that.

Lol Recovery Girl's scolding All Might like a Grandma but I think he deserved that because he was being too carelessly bold with them.

was i the only one screaming WHERE ARE THE DAMN HANDCUFFS? the whole fight? all mighty grabbed both of them more than once and have openings for them to use them. i know the fight wouldn't have been nearly as epic if they did use it and passed the test but well, it seems everyone forgot they had that resource to win anyway.

i like bakugou. people keep saying he could be a perfect villain, but there it is, he isn't and doesn't want to be one. everyone expects him to go to the dark side, but he wants to be the best of heroes and he's actually good. bakugou is smart, has good combat skills and is really strong and well acquainted to his quirk but his biggest enemy is himself. i actually like that he is not afraid of not speaking his kind, even when he is wrong or unreasonable. he's gotta a problem with pride, ego and is very insecure but if he didn't he wouldn't have room to grow. people like deku and his determination but you know, they're very alike in their objectives, deku is just more likable because he's easier to deal with. i don't know if it's because i know actual people that are a bit like bakugou, explosive, aggressive and full of pride, but they have hearts of gold and are people that i do love very much, and me - i'm a lot like deku, much more than bakugou - would've liked to be more like him, but i do like bakugou as a character a lot. and i think that's what deku sees in him too, he admires the confidence, the part he lacks and the guy has, even if it's a little bit too much.

All Might really did feel like a villain in here. He's definitely holding back on them but it still looks like he has absolutely no mercy against them even if they're both his students because he places that much trust into their power and potential. They're dysfunctional together almost all the time but once they both realize that there's no other way forward alone, their polar opposite thinking merge together to think of an ingeniously clever strategy. That grenade gauntlet to the face has gotta hurt!

Bakugo could've used Deku waddling towards the gate with a broken back as a distraction to go the exit first but he continued diverting All Might's attention from him with all he got. Forcing himself to use his ultimate move consecutive times had him picking up a move from Deku's deck for a change. In the end Izuku couldnt just leave him behind so he gave All Might a really good punch and went through the escape gate together as comrades.

Looks like the League of Villains have new recruits.

Only one episode left and I feel like this season didn't bring anything new to the table.
My boy Midoriya is the sweetest but that's not enough for a score of 10/10.


Up until now we've only seen the tournament, the heroes' training and their fight battle with their teachers.

Tbh if they hadn't shown the secondary characters and only focused on the main main, this season would have been way shorter.
Oh well.

This was a powerful episode further prodding along our two main protagonists' rivalry relationship. You'd feel it too even if you haven't read the source material.

That said, Katsuki (whose name, lest we forget, means "winning self"), despite his mainly egotistical rants, is showing decent slivers of putting his smarts to good use against an all-powerful hero-enemy he's idolized for so long. It's just good that - even slightly and reluctantly - he's willing to listen a bit more to Deku now.

AHHHH!!!!!!!!!! That scene was so beautiful in soo many way!!!

Deku turning around to go save Bakugo,
Bakugo finally working alongside Deku,
The epic music and that Smash!

So many good things all in one scene to make me start tearing up with a huge grin on my face. These are the scenes that make MHA so amazing.

I absolutely love every scene where the music hightens and Deku uses a smash. They're so exciting and get my blood pumping. OST is amazing as usual.

When Bakugo was pinned down it was a bit sad to see. Honestly dont rememeber this episode being this good but re-watching it its amazing.

It looked totally impossible at first. Even with those heavy bands All-might was enough to defeat them both. However he was totally in character there. He sure taught them but looked like a villain. But finally Bakugo understood he can't win alone and defeat All-might head on. This time he made a plan instead of Deku. It was wise for Aizawa to keep these two in a team. Together they are amazingly powerful. If they had proper communication then they could have capture All-might. But they really had tough time. Deku's punches were amazing though. Good thing is they won.

All Might was BRUTAL in that fight, he taught them a proper lesson.

I still think Deku is a b*tch. I mean, how many times does someone have to tell you they don't want to talk to you before you finally shut up? Sounds like Deku either has a big ego or hit his head too hard to understand basic concepts like that.

Deku going back for Kacchan ♡_____♡ He’ll never leave his Kacchan behind. I love how he was so respectful even when he was going to punch All Might lol

Kacchan looks like an angel with his unconscious sleeping face lollllol

Amazing seeing them work together, tho it’s just for an exam, as All Might mused, they will only get stronger together. So stoked!!

One of my favourite things about this arc is that it subtly shows that there's a lot more to Bakugo than his temper and quirk. In both his fights this ep he was able to figure out his opponents weaknesses, last episode he revealed how taxing it can actually be on his body and in the cavalry battle it shows that pissing him off even further just makes him more calculative (though I think this was depicted better in the manga). Superficially speaking, he's a reckless foul-mouthed hot-head but he's really up there with Deku in terms of smarts and intelligence.

In fact it really extends to Midoriya and Todoroki too, that despite having insane quirks, all of them are exceptionally talented all round.

Okay yeah that was nice and all, but what should've actually happen is all might knocking deku and bakugo in a one two hit punch combo, that's it, exam failed

Perhaps those weights really were heavy, or maybe he really is getting weaker. But the man sent a shockwave punch from across half of the arena, so idk what about that is weak. These were two students against the top hero.... they managed to escape via total bs

Or maybe all might was just being a softie like mr. aizawa apparently was

Not expected that All Might would that cruel towards both Deku and Bakugo, but it is for their development, if else they could never work together. Usually Bakugo pissing me off due to how arrogant he is, but at least now he accepted Deku, means he got slight development right there, so my hate towards him is less for a little bit.

All Might gave Deku and Bakugo a real beating, but nonetheless, they were still able to win, although All Might might've let them win, but they still did good. The two still don't get along, but there was a subtle improvement in their relationship by the end of the battle.

Man even if its not on his best form, All Might still as strong as ever without holding back a little. Meanwhile, looking at Bakugou, and Deku, they both like a polar magnet, so damn difficult to unite water and oil. Though, Bakugou manage to suppressing his naive pride a little and cooperate with his hated damn need, Deku, which the result obviously led them into a victory. Pretty expected honestly.

A fine match, but can be better if the conviction was more than that. Talking about the conviction, someone on the next last episode will find his final ideal conviction. Let's see...

That was definitely an intense episode there. Man All Might didn’t really hold anything back for that exam I mean I know there is a thing called favouritism and I get he doesn’t want that on his good track record but jeez he did his job almost too well there. I mean it’s no wonder Recovery Girl was annoyed with him at the end of the episode but man Deku and Bakugo were through their paces there. Even when All Might has got weights on him, he’s still incredibly powerful I mean they don’t call him the no 1 hero for nothing as I’ve said before for this series. Well we do get flashbacks Bakugo as expected here, not a lot was said about why he’s angry all the time but it’s something here. But even then I was just like kind of getting a bit tired of him just yelling in the present. It’s like dude it’s just an exam it’s not a life or death situation it’s literally a practical thing for your academy.

But props to Deku for being selfless and getting him and both Bakugo out of there and passing the exam with flying colours. Though it’s not to say Bakugo didn’t do anything for this exam he did, he came up with a plan of action and he did cooperate with Deku though reluctant as he was, he had so much resolve during it, I’m not gonna lie. Otherwise good teamwork, you two, good teamwork. And now we have two new characters and quite possibly the most popular characters in My Hero I’ve seen so far. Both Dabi and Toga. Characters that I feel will play an even bigger roles in the third season so far we are getting some promise. Not much else to say other than, it’s a great episode.
