| Decent fight with some cool scenes but way too overhyped. |
 |
| FUSION HA!!!!! DEKU GOES FKN SUPER SAIYAN!!! That was one of the best episodes of My Hero period. Up there with Episode 49 imo! The soundtrack was fucking stellar this episode (7:56, 12:16).... I've never given enough credit where it's due but My Hero has one of the best shounen soundtracks! If anyone knows what the OST at 12:16 was please lmk, it sounds like something new they added but it fit perfectly. The fight scene was short but executed extremely well, you could tell they put a lot of effort it. The sakuga was superb! Also, that end scene where it goes black and white, with Nighteye smiling while looking on at Deku was so subtle, but I think it was meant to hint that he finally acknowledges Deku as the worthy successor. All in all, excellent episode! Extremely impressed! |
| If only the flashback placed after action scene it would be perfect imo. Emotion went up good on first half episode but "flashback" it's make down sensation to finish the episode, feels weird right? |

| I kinda understood Overhaul's motive. But damn at some point, Overhaul should just accept reality. Yakuza is no more in this modern world. |
| The best episode since United States of Smash. Holy shit this episode was amazing. And the fact THE FACT That Deku was always smiling when Eri looked at him just made me love Deku more then ever! The first half had me in tears and the second half had me standing with my jaw wide open the whole time. Brilliant episode. |

| Deku going full Saitama caught me off guard, not gonna lie. Cool episode and all but please tell me Deku actually killed Overhaul because I won't believe that even a 100% One for All punch can't accomplish that. |
| Holy shit Deku went into bad ass mode. I loved every minute of this. |
| Hands-down one of the absolute best episodes the series has brought us so far. Episodes like this one remember me why I love battle shounens in the first place. BUUUT!! please.... no more English sung insert songs, felt so awkward lol, I'm not watching Disney movies here xd |
JustOppais said: I dont know I have a few friends who have been quite critical of the series as of late that really liked some of the recent stuff, I have heard some not great things about stuff in between but I'll cross that bride when I get there. Its not like the series has gotten bad to the point where I cant take it anymore, its more like it went from something I really saw myself loving to just kind of being entertained by, so it has ample time to win me back especially since there is alot I am interested in for the long term how they handle stuff.JizzyHitler said: sorry to bust your bubble but, no it keeps getting worse. but maybe you'll like it for some reason.I'm in the same camp, this episode and arc as a whole was a big ball of nothing for me, theres aspects of it I like but it feels like everything was just sort of half baked and there wasn't enough to get me emotionally connected at all. Granted I was spoiled on a couple of things so maybe that didnt help, but at the same time I was also spoiled entirely on the all for one fight and that still had alot of weight attatched to it for me. This I just couldnt care about nighteye, mirio, and especially overhaul whose a villain I think is totally lacking in everything but his voice and design. And the whole arc felt like it was just building up and bulding even more up as its crutch only for the finale being really not anything different than what we have had before. Other than the English song which I also must echo, was bad or at least massively unfitting, I dont think theres really anything that happened this episode specifically that was really wrong, but rather the arc as a whole felt dragged and lacking in energy and I really feel like its cause of how much the previous cast members feel like there isn't much purpose for them anymore combined with the whole underdog crutch for deku himself being basically over by this point so I'm not really rooting for him to the same level especially with how this big fight ends with him not overcoming his own weaknesses but just utilizing an op power up from someone else, that kind of thing can totally work mind you but her it just felt.....I dunno kind of unearned? I get what it was trying to go for especially since on a thematic level its more eri defeating overhaul than it deku himself, which is a part I like in concept more than execution, but this just felt more kind of on the anticlimax side of things for me, beautiful yutaka nakamura animation flexing aside cause that man is an animation god. Oh well heres hoping this was more a road bump more so than a sign of decline. Heres hoping future arcs are at least more entertaining for me. shayed__ said: This arc felt like it was trying to experiment and flesh out the series more through a fresh lens of both new ally characters and a fresh villain crew, I guess it might have given me and you are not the overall sentiment, but I cant help but feel, but I cant help but feel like Overhaul the more I sit on it was the thing that broke the camel's back. I'll be completely frank, I think hes a bad villain, he has absolutely no depth to his motivation and I think outside of his introduction which I actually found quite strong, he does very little to establish himself as a threat nor really provide much in way of any entertaining character quirks that could make up for it. He feels like he exists solely cause they needed a villain here and not cause they actually had something interesting there.JizzyHitler said: I'm in the same camp, this episode and arc as a whole was a big ball of nothing for me, theres aspects of it I like but it feels like everything was just sort of half baked and there wasn't enough to get me emotionally connected at all.

Oh well heres hoping this was more a road bump more so than a sign of decline. Heres hoping future arcs are at least more entertaining for me. Yup.. Pretty much summed up my thoughts. I just dont really feel invested into this arc at all. It just does not click with me. Biggest reason might be Overhaul. I just think hes super uninteresting with lacking motives. Even Stain which had much less build up was in my opinion ten times more interesting. To be honest Season 2 in general was just much superior even compared to season 3 in my opinion but season 4 has to be the weakest of them all so far. A good villain goes a long way, and I think if overhaul was better he could of carried the arc for me, I really think this has been the issue with academia in general for me, the villain just dont really do it for me cause it always feel like they lack threat and don't really have much to them past surface level stuff, I really adore the idea of what they are doing with shigaraki being a parralel to deku but I feel like they have been long overdue to really establish him as the main antagonist ultimate enemy he is. With the sole exception of the scene where he and deku meet at the mall, that part was legitimately great, tense, established a clear contrasting rivalry between hero and villain, and was all-around memorable, but that is like 1 single moment and the overall league of villains just feel lackluster to me. I really just wish this arc was more to build them up as a threat more so than just having them sort of take a side role for this one arc jobber that was overhaul. |

Sad taste you have there kid you came up to me in the first place making you look more like a kid who got slapped without me even knowing it and start crying about it to me |
| Really cool but that bullshit at the beginning with ochaco and tsuyu where hes like "wtf how are they moving???" and then theyre like "because plus ultra haha" was kinda stupid nice animation at the end he got curbstomped  |
| Wow. Did not expect the vocals for You Can Be a Hero and it definitely hit me like a ton of bricks. Finally getting to see Midoriya unleash at 100% AFO was incredible. This was definitely worth the wait! |
 |
| BEYOND PHENOMENAL WICKED SICK EPISODE JUST LOOK AT THOSE DEKU's saitama consecutive punches! SO WILD AF!!! One For All Full Cowl 100% Loli Backpack Geared-up with no consequences!!!!! such a terrifying team-up! and must be considered beyond ryuu level threat! 5/5! |

| finally getting to this end of this arc again i don't dislike it as much as i did before reading it,at the time BHA wasn't that much of a powerhouse so the amount of hype it produces now doesn't help when people end up being disappointed at a arc that was kinda always "alright" they still did decent job with it but besides some good moments(mainly my boi Miro) it was one of my weaker arcs of favorites |
 |
| Good episode, with a nice fight scene that showcased both overhaul and deku at 100%. "the song" kinda felt out of place though, and definitely didn't fit with the mood. They tried reeeeally hard to make Eri someone that everyone was rooting for, but it fell flat imo, I just saw her as an ignorant kid. |
 |
| BEST episode ever. Finally we get to see Midoriya at full power. very much like DBZ awakening :D |
Desmondus said: Deku using 100% of his power is an interesting thing. Even though its only possible when Eri is touching him its still an interesting feature. We got to see all his power during this episode, he even changed the future! This might have just been a one time thing that can never/ will never be done again during the whole series. The whole episode was amazing because of all the small details as well, like the music playing when Deku catches Eri (i think that was you say run but voiced) and how they explain each side of the story during the fight at the perfect time. I think this could be the best episode of the season or maybe all the episode that have been released so far in the whole series Eri technically changed the future. Deku would have died due to injuries preventing him from reacting fast enough but thanks to her ability to reverse time he was ultimately saved. What's going to be interesting now is seeing if they try and use Eri to change All Might's future. I suspect that they can't fix his body using her powers because if they reverse his time to before be sustained them then One For All would revert back to him, leaving Deku quirkless again....or maybe the power is split and they both end up with it. In any case it'll be interesting to see if they use her power to correct some futures that Night Eye saw. |

DeathTheKid4 said: This was almost on the same level of bullshit as Kimetsu no Yaiba episode 19, and again the reaction from the community is the same. They freaking love it for whatever reason. I guess having nice music and animation covering for the big plot armor the main characters have is a trend for shounen anime that will never go away as long as it works. Such a shame. Yeah cause other popular shounens like HxH or FMA:B have no "bullshit" like these at all, they are perfect in every possible aspect. Gon suddenly turning into his 30 years old future self just so he can beat Pito up was totally explained and was foreshadowed over the anime several times, so it was completely normal. |

| My favorite episode after the Mirio one. The soundtrack was emphasizing everything loud and clear. I think it's the first time I noticed every time the ost changed, every time a silence was added and every time the chords struck hard. It was in perfect sync with the animation while the animation was top notch. |
 |
| I hope this dull arc ends. Idk why was it so hyped, but main villain was awfully dull, main heroes are somehow more competent than veteran heroes , there were literally zero interesting fights cause it was obvious that in 1 vs 1 a hero student will win after getting beat up. This episode tho didn't even provide the beating of deku, he just steamrolled Overhaul without any problem. "But the future was that he dies", yeah, I totally buy that. That is such a lame move, you could at least make it harder for Deku to change it, like recieve a few hits, spill some blood - nope, he just punches Overhaul without much resistance. Wow, such a great episode, such a steallar fight. Like 2/5 at max. |
| This episode was disappointing in so many ways. The big guy and the girls did nothing in the whole assault except provide a boost to overhaul. I expected them to have a fight, at least. And how laughable is Neijiro's Quirk ? The 2 other Big Three have OP Quirks, but she has to convert her own life force into these shock springs, that don't seem to have much effect on the large dude. Btw, what's was the intent of Toga and Twice trying to bring all these guys to Deku and Overhaul ? Was it to help the former, or the latter ? The animation and the songs were nice, but having a so much one-sided final fight between Deku and Overhaul is a big letdown tbh. I don't get why this episode get so much praise with these flaws. Maybe it's that a fight between the good guy and the big bad guy, some shonen quotes, a song and the famous sakuga™ are all you need to impress people after all. But the thing is a 13 episodes arc shouldn't get praise with a botched end like this, just because it has an impressive sakuga and stuff. I was very hyped for the season, and endured the slow pacing because I was expecting a great final. Too bad. Well, at least the Suneater and Red Riot episodes were cool |
| That was good, but I hoped for a bit more tbh. That fight just felt too short. Mirio's one was way better imo. |
| Thank you ! I'm feeling less lonely when I read there are several people who were a little disappointed by this episode. It was good but so much overhyped by people. Easy animations : to show Deku is fast => "make him disappear from the screen." People said me : "Are you stupid ? He is so fast so we can't see his movements" What the heck were these multi punches ? Where are they coming from ? Am I in OPM or Jojo ? Deku was in 100% All for One state so why his punch has no impact ? Chisaki's body should be destroy at once not in several time like he was shot by little air pressions... |
| super saiyan deku, new ost as well, and another backpack loli! i got disney vibes when the english ost played lol god bless Yutaka Nakamura for the sakuga! atleast they did this justice great episode |

| Wow this episode got a lot more mix reactions than I expected. Looks like it didn't quite hit home like All Might vs All for One fight. |
| "You can't spell slaughter without laughter". |
| This episode was a straight orgasm and the best from this season so far. And omg this form of Deku  |
 |
| Very interesting choices of insert songs to say the least. Well 100% Deku is stupid OP but that's to be expected. How come Eri's quick fails to cause any damage to Deku at this moment and only perfectly heal his injuries, when she's supposedly can't control it and is known to completely erase people with it? Also someone should have died from this. Idk why they are leaving Nighteye alive. Dude got speared by like a 6 inch diameter rock. |
| i dont mind flashbacks as long as they're not in the climax of a fight i love the overhaul arc the only problem i have is all those flashbacks breaking up one fight into like 10 different pieces it ruins the mood and also the fact that Nejiro didn't play a more prominant role like Mirio and Tamaki. I love them both, but I want my girls to have some spotlight too man KitKatLong said: For all the hype they were building up this episode sure as hell felt disappointing... I don't really know how to put it but it doesn't makes you emotional like some of the previous big fights in the series such as deku vs muscular does. thats because we get to watch izuku vs muscular in one go, while the fights in s4 are all broken up |
| I really hope they won't leave Nighteye alive.... Cause they cant alter the plot of manga. |
SilentNox said: I really hope they won't leave Nighteye alive.... Cause they cant alter the plot of manga. Wait what? Are you saying that he dies? But he only lost his left arm and had a big fucking stone penetrating his body. How tf can anyone die from that? |
