| So, manga readers (no spoilers)... would you say the rest of the season will be better, just as good, or not quite as good as the last 2 episodes? I'm curious because this arc seems to be the highlight of the season and I don't know how good the remaining episodes will be in comparison. |
| YOOOOOOO THAT WAS SO GOOD. But I forgot how short the stain arc actually was... but still the execution and direction of the last few eps have been amazing. I'm looking forward to the rest of the season immensely, and I hope it continues to only get better.

I'm curious because this arc seems to be the highlight of the season and I don't know how good the remaining episodes will be in comparison. Although the stain arc is regarded as one of the best arcs so far, I personally enjoy the next arc slightly more, because it goes back to focussing on class-1A and some more character development. |

| At first I was disappointed since it seemed Stain was defeated too early, but, hell, his last stand was awesome. So was Endeavor, even if he is a jerk, he is a very competent hero, he sure earned his number 2 position. Tbh, I thought this arc would be longer, since it looked like the "highlight" of the season, but we still have 8 episodes more before this ends. I wonder how this will continue from this point. |
 |
| The action sequences were so amazing and intense. It was beautifully animated. Iida and Deku's combo move on Stain was glorious. Iida's flashback with his brother was nice. It goes to show how much he admires him. It's great to see Gran Torino and Endeavor working together. Endeavor was really cool using his quirk. Really emotional moment with Iida apologizing to Deku and Todoroki. Stain did very good holding his ground against three people. The part where he looks at Endeavor and calls him a fake was chilling, not to mention his menacing speech he gave to everyone. They looked terrified when he said that and the background behind him was epic. Looking forward to the aftermath. |

I'm curious because this arc seems to be the highlight of the season and I don't know how good the remaining episodes will be in comparison. The next arc isn't as good imo, but it's still pretty good. That isn't to say that there won't be amazing episodes coming up. In fact, the last episode of the season, if it ends where I think it will, will be my personal favourite. And of course, a potential S3 will completely blow this season out of the water. |
| "Your guilt will be your past, and that will be your God." |
| Great episode, would definitely love the back story of Stain (if they release OVA's or specials) We won't see Stain anymore i guess, he was really a cool villain eh.. New arc or what? |
| oh my god, this eps was epic, love this story goes, i hope there will be another great fight again between our shounen and villain <3 |

I'm curious because this arc seems to be the highlight of the season and I don't know how good the remaining episodes will be in comparison. The next arc after Stain does provide character development moments for some of the kids who haven't had them yet. It may not measure up to the Stain arc in terms of overall tension but it should still be enjoyable nonetheless. The finale for the season may prove to be a pleasant surprise for anime only folks however. That is if it ends up adapting a particular chapter w/c ends up kind of signifying a turning point for the series and some of its main characters as a whole. It would more than whet our collective appetites for Season 3 for sure. And Season 3 would be glorious. That, manga readers can certainly guarantee with a stamp of approval if Bones continues with the quality of its adaptation of BnHA. |

| What an amazing episode!!! Loved every single moment of it!!! So epic. |
"At some point, I stopped hoping." |
| Gosh that was a good ending. |
| Wooooo! That episode was HOT! Everything I expected out of an episode titled "Climax" lit af! Endeavor surprised me too! He has way more than just flames like his sun he was way more op then I was expecting. It will be interesting to see what becomes of the Hero Killer Stain since his philosophy and motivations aren't entirely evil on their own even if he goes about things the wrong way. He may still have the potential to become an ally or he could remain a dangerous enemy. Another great episode...what else should I expect out of this anime at this point? I can't wait for the next episode! PLUS ULTRA!!! |
| I shall rule over the realms of anime and manga! Mwahhahahahaha!!! |
| in this episode we got background lida... the arrival of endevor with the new OST is amazing more please... the hero stain is soooo crazy... !!!!!!!! but i wanna see stain vs all might... |
| WHOA. Even though this episode should center around Iida and his friends, Stain, the GOAT, stole it away with performance at the end! Loved the menacing look he gave to the heroes and how their legs gave in to fear. That was really epic scene. The conviction to stick to his beliefs left me in awe. And the tenacity he showed towards heroes was overwhelming. He was way too awesome. |
 |
| i got goosebumps in the last 3 minutes, what a great episode!! |
| "Even if it has good reviews, if I don't like it then it is shit" -Some random anime character |
| Best arc till date!! Stain was OP and damn that principality aura! |
When someone asks me why I like anime, I'd say Just Because. |
Because123 said: That was filler? Damn it was well choreographed...Great episode. I love Endeavor's filler scene. L-Ryoshi said: hype!!Iida finally standing up when it counted the most. And this is only the beginning of his character development. MissPsychoholic said: Yes! I was looking for a comment like this xD a bit of acceptance towards his father as well from Shoto's side. Hmm... I really do hope they develop shoto's mother situation a bit more thoughBtw am I the only one who thinks the scene when Shoto looked at his phone and Eneavor was all like "Hey, look at me son, put the phone away!" incredibly funny? Even though he treats/treated his family really bad, he still wants his son to kind of look up to him. This episode had a lot of character improvements, not only for him but for Iida and Stain ofc too. Overall: LOVED the iida-midoriya combo, and with shoto blasting fire into stain's face, it's a wonder the dude can still talk. The endeavor action sequence was incredible, especially the blue fire and scaling the walls. Worthy of the no.2 spot for sure. And then of course, that bloodlust, easily the hype and most bone-chilling part of the episode. But that leaves me with the question... Is that it? They show us that incredible, freezing bloodlust and that's the end? The arc has barely started, and that's it? Doesn't seem very 'one of the best arcs of the show' worthy to me... I reeeally want to see some more into that killer intent - was it just me, or did it feel directed massively at endeavor? I'd love seeing some kind of back story there. Still a great episode though |

| Another 6/5 episode but I HONESTLY did not expect Endeavor to be able to use Blue Fire (His scenes and dialogue were too great).....Now Shouto has an opportunity to evolve even further lol I don't need to comment on Best Antagonist Stain or dat epic team play from Ida, Deku and Shouto either (Grand Torino was boss again too) |
Gen2K_ said: Not exactly. You'll see next ep.That's really the end of Stain? Kind of sucks after seeing his last stand. Even with all his talking down of other heroes he respected All Might as a true hero in his mind. Would have love to have seen a scene with him and All Might together. The fact that he of all people saved Midoriya mindfucked the rest of the heroes, lol. Gold. |
| I love the synergy between the Quirks, I'd love to see more combo attacks like Iida and Deku's. I wonder how everyone will react knowing Midoriya killed Stain. I hope the good guys get into another scenario where they have to kill, it would work for some really good character development. |
 |
| so when stain mask falls do they all stop cuz the know who he is? |
 |
| Dang I dont know about you guys but Stain give me goosebumps at the end.Massive respect so epic :). |
| Is there a special reason why everybody shat their pants when Hero Killer's mask fell? |
 |
| Wow! I really like this episode! Midoriya, Iida, and lastly Todoroki improves their quirks. The fight is so great from 0 to 100! Except my internet router sucks. (rip) (~_~",) That near-end tho... Solid words (for Anti-social) and immersive presence of intimidation from Hero Stain! 100% nice episode! |

highryder42o said: Wintovisky said: yeah i was trying to figure out why too like they knew him or some thingIs there a special reason why everybody shat their pants when Hero Killer's mask fell? All that reddish aura that covered everyone was bloodlust emanating from Stain. Despite being beaten he's not down as he has motives still driving him. His ambition and goals to bring the true meaning of the word "Hero" back is what drives him. Everyone, including the pros stopped because they could feel how intense his bloodlust was. As for Stain's mask, it had nothing to do with why everyone stopped. |

Also seeing as it's no longer a spoiler and won't be covered in the anime.  That's the identity of the Winged Noumu, which explains why out of the group of people he only took Midoriya. |

| I swear to God this Stain will get HIV and then AIDS then die... but did he die at the end tho? I don't think if he did, but they said his lung was pierced... but they also said he was just unconscious so |

| aahh...that's some good stuff right here <3 Little sad though that Stain has already kicked the bucket, very interesting villan |
| What a great fucking episode. Holy shit. I can see why it was titled "Climax" now. Tenya can be really badass when he wants to be, he just has to put his emotions to the side so that he can think with a clear mind. And Endeavor's really fucking strong– he's a BAMF (but still an ass). Only downside is the Best-Girl War wasn't featured at all. :( 5/5 |
| Iida gets himself together and helps beat stain, endeavor with the move and stain with the determination filled aura stopping everyone. |
 |

 |
| Stain surprised me a lot, he is a beast. He is definitely one of the best villains I've seen in a long time. 5/5 |
 |
| Fantastic episode, surprised the Hero Killer escaped and than died. |
 |
| That was badass. The fight against Stain, seeing Endeavors powers, it was all real cool. The end scene reminded me a lot of the fight betweemn Netero and Meruem from Hunter x Hunter. |
| Another enjoyable episode but personally I didn't find this arc to be all that special. Like, I just couldn't get myself to feel anything for Ida considering it was a pretty simplistic attempt at the typical revenge arc and even Stain as a villain was pretty meh. The highlight was the fight, but even that ended up being less hype than what I was expecting other than a few cool moments. |
| 5 main aspects I base my ratings on: 1. Did DramaEnthusiast make a thread about it? 2. Is it better than Breaking Bad? 3. Did MellowJello recommend the shit out of it? 4. Has it caused a (very entertaining) shitstorm on MAL? 5. Is it actually good? Scratch the fifth point, it's not very relevant... |
| This episode just made this show the epitome of lit |
| Don't believe the hype. |

| That was so intense. Stain's bloodlust is crazy! Wish everyone was more impressed that three children capture him! They deserve praise. Love the teamwork! |
    |
| Oh god, even I felt dead frozen for a moment as well watching this episode.... |
  |
| FANTASTIC & BRILLIANT EPISODE. Now this a climax episode. Iida got up. Love seeing the flashback with Tensei & what it means to be a hero. The determination & teamwork between Deku, Todoroki & Iida is amazing. The OST was superb. That Iida & Deku punch & kick to Stain was great. DAMN Endevour was awesome. He is a terrible father, but you gotta respect him for being an amazing hero. That flame arrow was cool. Wonder if Todoroki will ever learn something like that? Gran Torino is a boss. Don't mess with him. Holy Shit Stains killing intent & bloodlust was terrifying. Everyone was so freaking scared. Studio Bones keep smashing it out with these amazing episodes. Keep up the great work. Plus Ultra! |
"I’ve set myself to become the King of the Pirates…and if I die trying…then at least I tried!" Monkey D. Luffy (One Piece) |
| So the hero killer stain,the main villain of the season got his ass kicked by three rockies,he seems to be a good villain with a convincing motivation but him getting defeated in the first encounter was a bit underwhelming. |
