| It was kinda interesting seeing Hawk's past. I have to admit that even when he was young, he seemed way more mature than most kids his age. Endeavor also had to deal with the revelation about Dabi/Touya's identity. Definitely something he wasn't ready mentally. I feel bad for Endeavor though...he looks both physically and mentally broken this episode. |

| feel really bad for endeavor |

| I think this is the first time I saw best jeanist face XD |

| Hawks had a rough backstory, growing up in poverty with an abusive dad and a mom that just seemed completely detached from reality. As has been the theme of the last few episodes since the war ended, we continue to see more of society's distrust toward heroes, with civilians taking up arms to fend off criminals themselves instead of relying on heroes. It certainly doesn't help that there's longtime heroes retiring and others who are just straight up quitting because of the pressure. Nice little Stain cameo btw. More Todoroki family drama and backstory next episode. Lowkey a little worried about how the pacing is right now, we're technically still finishing up the last several chapters of the Paranormal Liberation War arc and the next arc is 22 chapters, so I'm concerned they might give it that MVA treatment. |

| People on MAL refuse to actually enjoy watching anime. Your taste in anime isn't a personality trait. Take me back to the days before MAL became infested with Twitter's favorite buzzwords. |
| Yeah Endeavor's resolve to set things with his family straight.. for thousandth time. |
| Damn, heroes are falling like flies. |

| "The Hellish Todoroki Family, Part 2", and then ~80% of the episode? if not more? is basically Hawks's origin story, spiked with Best Jeanist and the aftermath of the prison breaks in general. Which are fine to tell and dwell on in themselves, ofc, but uh.... Yeah. |
| Endeavour's redemption arc might be the best I've seen in all anime. He genuinely regrets his past actions, fully pays the price for it and it still haunts him. |
 |
| It's back to the family upbringing sessions, featuring Todoroki's family...plus Hawks. For Hawks, TV and reality seem like two sides of the same fiction, but for his parents, they were the same broken humans regardless of their circumstances: abusive and detached from reality. The boy who was once named Takami Keigo, started his journey down heroism, and look what the same heroism has done to him. It was just sheer luck that Best Jeanist was capsulated just like Shigaraki, but used atht eright time. To the public, they need some form of foundation, and with the heroes running on their tails, it's no doubt that distrust is growing by the day. The fact that Dabi got Hawks's real name after threatening his mother, whom she was forced to take care of him, the ugly side of either hero or villain shows through. But if there's one thing that Hawks needs to resolve: it's Endeavor's family. By the day, more villains enrapturing through the city had taken control so much, that the word "hero" didn't matter so much anymore. All the blame to be pinned on the No. 2 hero for all of the karma brought from the family's upbringing, the past has come back to haunt Endeavor. The worst of the worst will never see the light...or will there ever be? |

| Endeavor-san crying 🤧😭 Damn what a depressing episode. 😔 |

| Very little action and I didn't feel anything for Endeavor. Not a "bad" episode per se, and I think it advances the plot (tho I think the whole thing with Wash was filler) but not a strong episode IMO. |
 |
| I liked the ep, it was so funny to see Shoto's reaction to his dad crying! Loved the animation and I think we heard a new ost. Hawks has always been underrated in my eyes, I like his character a lot. Rei's comeback was well done, it was great seeing her all decisive and serious. Next episode's going to be sad, little Toya's story is depressing |
 |
| Lol @ Todoroki closing the door Endeavours redemption is kinda like the antithesis to a character who's forgiven from one episode to another and instantly liked by everyone. Hori couldn't have given him a better name except for maybe Kurushimi or Suffering-san. |
One Piece episode 914 & 915 & 1027 were a mistake and 957 brought the salvation - FMmatron |
| Endeavor's VA did an awesome job. Can't believe the Todoroki family part is going to be this long though. Can't wait for Batman Deku! |
| Been waiting for Hawks flashback so finally. Another episode in this season that hurts me emotionally. Though its just another time of Endeavor trying to fix everything. |
 |
| As expected, this episode really showcases how much society has turned against the heroes now, with many of those agencies all gone and many heroes themselves either retiring, with a volley of abuse aimed at them, or struggling to continue their role as best as they can, with another volley of abuse aimed at them. It's a lose-lose situation for the heroes right now. =( Hawks had one hell of a depressing backstory, with his father being an abusive criminal who had help from his mother before Hawks came into their lives. Even after all that has happened to him, I can't blame him for not showing any emotional attachment to his parents at all. As for Endeavour, seeing him cry for the first time did send goosebumps down my back. The full weight of regret has hit him hard and he really shows it with his emotions. Aside from Shoto's funny moment of closing the door when he saw his father crying, the whole family, including Endeavour's own wife, Lei, has arrived and are ready to have a difficult talk about Toya. Hopefully when this talk is over, maybe there'll be a sliver of hope for Endeavour to fully redeem himself (Or as close to it as possible) in the eyes of his family. The next episode or two will be very interesting to see how this talk was go about. |
| Keigo, the real name!!! Hawks and his hard memories!!! kekeke |
| How many times did Deku get injured like this again? It kinda lost its weight. Looks like Hawks had a shitty life living in a shithole with a shitty dad. Damn. |
thebrentinator24 said: Agreed on the pacing, it's funny with how fast things were moving in the beginning everyone thought we'd reach Star and Stripes by the end, but now there's concern over whether or not Vigilante Deku will be rushed. I think the slow pacing/recap/added MVA content in episodes 12-14 sort of threw everything off. Let's just hope for the best because even on its own, the next arc still felt too fast, so I can't imagine it being even more rushed. With how much it's advertised in the OP, I was hoping it'd be drawn out more. Only time will tell.

ScottMerica said: I think the season will end around chapter 324 and after that they will announce a Star and Stripe movie or Ova (roughly 9 chapters), because i don't think there is enough material for season 7 right now. There is no way Deku's arc gets rushed this much. thebrentinator24 said: Agreed on the pacing, it's funny with how fast things were moving in the beginning everyone thought we'd reach Star and Stripes by the end, but now there's concern over whether or not Vigilante Deku will be rushed.

| We finally learned more about Hawk's past. Why he loves heroes and especially has a soft spot for endeavor. Best Jeanist is slowly becoming my favorite hero. He's the right balance between goofy and serious. He's like the Adam West batman, very campy but a well meaning super crime fighter. It also looks like Endeavor's past has caught up with him. As amazing as it was seeing him cry, I don't feel bad for him. He's right though, the public will never see him in the same light again, no matter how many people he saves. |
| This episode was freaking sad. The Hawks backstory and what is happening to society. |
| aaaaaand the pacing is grinding to a fucking halt. This episode is called The Hellish Todoroki Family but they only focus on them for the last like 8 minutes. I originally thought this season would get to the beginning of the Star and Stripe Arc but now I don't even think we'll make it to the end of the Villain Hunt Arc. I'm very much over this series and this show and I'm really only watching week to week because I want to see the cool stuff that goes down in the current arc. Everything after that might as well be filler. Also, I can't remember what, if anything, is the purpose of Hawk's backstory in this episode? I recall reading it but what even happens? Hawk's wants to talk to Endeavor and they have to kill Dabi because duh but I really don't remember the resolution to that, if there was one at all.  |
|
| Haha peace really does make everyone soft about how shit this world is. to only have it taken away, they find anyone to blame. |
 Behold of my awesomeness~ controversial and/or sensitive topics likely devolve into the same repetitive, derogatory, abusive, and harassing comments can no longer be posted. But my feels. |
| There must be substantially more villains than heroes or maybe the heroes not majorly injured are at a onsen/beach. It's hilarious how they try to be serious when this is far from it. |
 |
| Man the Todoroki family story is so much better than whatever else they do in this show. Like green boy is in a coma good for Bakugo I guess. cause obviously he will wake up but Bakugo will prob get some more growth out of it. |
| bones with the PowerPoint treatment this episode... ending was good though |
| Your usual sad backstory, same goes for Hawks. Endeavor's VA did a splendid job alongside the incredible OST. |
   “You yourself have to change first, or nothing will change for you!” ' |
| That was the most asinine exposition about Best Jeanest I've ever heard. Not only was it the worst type of exposition, one character explaining in detail something to someone who already know everything, meaning it's purely for the sake of the audience, but the explanation itself made absolutely no sense. They did surgery on him to make him appear dead (and be able to contort his body to fit in a duffle bag LMAO) and then stuck him in a vat? And they trusted the villains to not just toss his body in a ditch? Or that Dabi wouldn't just incinerate his corpse right there? Bullshit. I would have preferred this left completely unexplained; a mystery that never gets revealed. Cut that scene entirely and give the screen time to something else. |
| dramatic episode, the show is getting more grounded. dude is literally just a washing machine xD wonder what hawk's going to do now. and we are still waiting for deku. season's a bit slow but the drama and stakes are high so it's been a lot less goofy. |
 |
| What an outstanding episode, it really showed the reality of an after-catalyst society, of course, to only did the heroes suffered psychologically but it also rippled over onto the people. |
| Hawk's family breaking apart is a analogy to Endeavor's family breaking up. Hawk's father was a criminal and his mom just wanted to live a good life even if she has to resort to crimes even if it means betraying her own son. While Endeavor was a hero, but his wife and children also just wanted to live a good life... but Endeavor's actions broke that up with his son, Toya. ___ ___ ___ And now it looks like the entire family besides Toya has come to Endeavor and try to make things right as a family. Also, did not expect Jeanist was actually really Ded-Ded... here I thought the one Hawks before was a puppet, but nope, it was the real deal. And they just revive Jeanist by way of Nomu Tech... Ironically using the evil's tech in order to deceive evil. ? ? ? Wrong + Wrong = Right ? ? ? LOL ___ ___ ___ And we didn't get to see the continuation of Explosive-Murder-God heading to blast Deku awake, lol. Probably not, cause that would most likely actually end Midoriya... And yea, the heroes already lost. Not only are people's distrust on heroes decreasing and taking up their own weapons Heroes are retiring as a side effect when majority of heroes are already injured and out of duty. Basically more crimes happening while heroes are decreasing... double negative... this is similar to that Batman game where the police were tricked into leaving the city with majority of population while the evil just kills off the rest of police and takes over the city. Looks like that's what's going to happen in here as there's less and less heroes while more and more destruction happens, at a point the people would probably end up siding with the evil with the premises of "leaving them alone by helping us kill heroes" (aka early Nanatsu no Taiza plot where civilians end up helping evil to kill the people that's trying to protect the civilians) Tho a lot of people are still looking at Endeavor and wondering when he'll return to duty as the only Hero that people still do believe in. As people already lost trust with All Might (looks at his statue vandalized, even tho it's just a cardboard that says "I am not Here" as to All Might's slogan of "For I am Here") |
