Awesome episode. The way Deku overcame the brainwash was epic. I wonder what he saw in the vision he saw. Got to learn about Shinso's quirk and his past. He got great development. Both of them have such similar backstories. The audience praising Shinso was heartwarming. Todoroki's match against Sero was very quick. He beat him in a flash. His conversation with his dad really pissed him off.

Shinzo seemed like a great guy. I definitely want him to transfer into the hero course.

Pretty colors! Nice fight, it did not have much action but was tense in its own way. We also get that scene of One for All. Todoroki though got badass and went full out!

Deku awake in the last moment, One for All powers interrupted the brainwash, interesting.

Todoroki overpowered by anger, I get the gist Deku would lose to him since Deku still can't control more than 5% of his power.

Shinso is also quite powerful too, a slightest answer will give people a brainwash effect.

Eh, decent episode. Kinda feel bad for purple guy, hopefully they'll develop him more once the tournament ends.

There's already some of Hitoshi Shinsou with best milf

I ship him. With nekos.

The studio animated this scene perfectly. He looks like hes about to cry T_T

He needs some neko love!!!

Of course you would fall for that...again...deku...



I hope shinsou sees that only deku is not wary around him and is willing to answer him. Hopefully they becomes friends later this year...

I recently read the manga so I alReady now what happens but, it's still awesome to see it animated! It actually follows the manga pretty well!

I'm glad they aren't stringing out every single battle to like an episode and a half like they did in fairy tale ...

No matter how cool Shouto at the end was, clearly, Shinso stole the spotlight in episode for me.
I was actually rooting for him.
I feel for the poor guy. Hope he gets entry to the Hero course soon.
And I'll love to see him getting significant attention later on.

And this is why we pay attention people.....You end up saying dumb shit like this even though said "asspull" was foreshadowed many times and nobody knew the significance of it


Literally the "PLUS ULTRA" had on it all the users of One for all into one single Ultra Smash... can't really see the "asspull" here

Holy shit, Todoroki. Way to fucking freeze half the stadium. Sorry but he needs to win against Deku IMO.

Okay, they had an intriguing explanation for why Deku was able to break Shinzo's brainwashing...it was still stupid to me to see it.

As soon as he stopped the brainwashing, the aftermath of that was top notch, Shinzo is great and he is frustrated, i totally get him. I hope we see more of him.

This episode had such a nice feel to it. With the background music and all. It was also nice seeing young Todoroki getting riled up because of his dad. I forgot all about Shinso though.

Meh, Hated this asspul victory. Shinso should not have lost and it's just perfect time this ancestral thing shows up. I think it's kinda weak. I also hate shows that have the protagonist essentially never lose and things always work perfectly. I hope this wont be the case for the show. Also the Don't worry scene was cringe worthy.

Everyone keeps saying Todoroki should win against Deku because he doesn't know how to use his powers but one thing we should remember is that he didn't use his powers against someone yet so we don't know what would happen to Todoroki if Deku hits him with his full power. His brain might just splatter all around the arena.

And again people don't realize how important is to break mindcontrol and underestimate the fight. ( ̄ー ̄)

Hes not going to use his father's power to win his battles and become the strongest hero. However, what he was doing was simply melting the ice, and the fight was already won.

well damnnnn. Despite the fight between deku and shinso being 'boring', i still kinda liked it. Interested in the past members that had One for All. Also when All might was told he was there as well seemed like he knew his own power was going for good.


I'm actually more interested in Todoroki and his family squabble right now...

PLUS ULTRAA!!!!!

Enjoyed the episode a lot. 5/5

The ancestral calling of One for All was pretty awesome, it's great to gain a slightly better understanding of the quirk. I wonder what the original quirk was. Perhaps "you can pass your strength and quirk onto another person", and then it was just passed on repeatedly until it became such a massive amount of strength we had All Might. Well, that's my theory anyways.

Glad that Midoriya managed to escape from his hypnosis, but let's not forget that anything of this would have happened if he listened to Ojiro's advice...
I feel so sad about Todoroki, he has such a shitty life, i really hope he can defeat his dumb father. But his power demonstration was beyond epic.

Deku, yesssss! PLUS ULTRA! I hope Shinso transfers to the hero course though.

Todoroki was amazing. But he needs to control himself...

I don't know who I want to win between those two... Honestly probably Shoto.. He's quickly becoming my favorite.

Uraraka better hold her own, let's goooo!

Seems like there's more to the vision that Midoriya saw during that fight, judging by what the nurse said to All Might after he left the room. Has the manga revealed the answer to this yet? Can someone quote me and put it in a spoiler tag if so?

Wow! This anime has the ability to pump you up and make you excited even for a short fight with not much real action! I thought it was so cool when Midoriya had the vision with the previous one for all heroes (btw why is All Might included already? Does that foreshadow his time coming to an end?) Then Todoroki has a heated *wink*wink* interaction with his dad and came out angry in his fight! I can't wait to see everyone else's fights next week and of course I'm looking forward to Midoriya vs. Todoroki!

PLUS ULTRA!

Shinso is a great character.. "You can't help with the thing you are looking for, right ?" Talk about cool line, He have a great personality ...

Again, Todoroki proved that he is the "cool shounen's supporting character" of this show..

I am waiting for some Uraraka's development in the next episode ...

Good job Midoriya! Thanks to that vision of previous One For All users, I think, he used his power to snap out of Shinso's brainwashing and got physical with him. He won with an impressive over-the-shoulder takedown move he used on Kacchan last season.

Still, after seeing people's positive reaction of Shinso's abilities, at least he won't give up in trying to get on the hero course in the future. Good luck to him. =)

For Todoroki, he was rather annoyed to see his father as he walked down the tunnel towards the arena. Endeavor's words only went to rile him up even more and his poor opponent, Handa, got the short end of the stick as Todoroki unleashed his mother's power at full blast. I will he honest, but the announcer's faces after seeing his attack were hilarious! XD

So, more battles to come next week, but I do worry about Uraraka, since she's up against Kacchan. Do your best girl! =3

Great episode. Like how they portrayed the similarity betweeen Shinsou and Midoriya.

Todoroki is OP!. Can't even imagine what would happen if you also used his other half of his powers (Fire).

I almost forgot that Sero's surname is Handa... like Handa Seishuu!

im guessing that the answer would only be revealed after All Might's death, and he's still alive and jumping around in the manga.
