| I dropped manga because of this fight (asspull supersayian) but damn..... in anime this fight is.... just beautiful... 5/5 |
| Amazing episode with these revelations! The moment Izuku catches Eri in the air with the OST is sad. And the fight between Izuku and Chisaki is CRAZY! What a treat! |
| Never posted on a specific show's board before, and I know I'm a day late, but I ain't got nothing better to do. Anyway, this episode was a wild ride. I can't believe our boy went Super Saiyan. |
Some of you never watched Bakugan Battle Brawlers on TeleToon in 2008 and it shows. |
| So far it's definitely the worst arc in the whole anime. Deku repeats non stop only one pathetic text throughout the whole series. Where's his character development? |

| It ended up too quickly. I don't like the abruptly placed flashbacks. It kind of destroyed the flow? To put it in the shortest manner, it didn't give me the same (or near) emotion as All Might vs Noumu. The sakuga is as expected and really was a bliss, there's no arguing that. But yeah, compared to Bones' previous creations, this fight is inferior. |
 |
| Much more fight time it would had been better, but I guess it was a good production job, it seems they did their best can here. I loved the soundtrack. But anyway I am too much more hyped by Haikyuu than this one. |
-¡Give yourself to me! |
| Why don't you guys just drop the show since it's so fucking shit? It's literally 76 episodes in, if you hate it so much just give it a rest. Also, when it comes to popular series, why does everyone suddenly become critics? I feel like everyone tries to analyze and nitpick everything wrong with an episode, instead of just watching the show to enjoy it. It's like how Demon Slayer in the earlier episodes everyone just watching for fun, but then when episode 19 hit and it started really getting popular now there's a ton of people critiquing it.. I don't know, maybe I just find it weird how everyone focuses on figuring out what's wrong with a freaking television show instead of watching something if it's somewhat enjoyable to you, if not, just stop watching lol.. |

| My only problem with this ep was the constant flashbacks. Other then that I loved it. Although having Eri's power be rewind is kinda like Orihime in Bleach. Where for like 150 eps we just assumed her power was healing but it actually rewinds time to heal. Kinda same thing but it seems that Eri's power has a downside as well to where she might accidently erase you from existence lol. |
 |
| Holy fuck, this episode was intense, now I felt the emotions, surely, animation gives you a different perspective of a scene, because last episode fight and this episode fight were hugely different. I have to accept that the animation was awesome, ost was awesome and the fight was awesome, surely what I’ve been expecting from the last 2 episodes. |
 |
| *Sigh* My gut was right. This arc has been a disappointment. It moved at an abysmal rate. The anime is trying too hard to make me cry for an unearned moment with Eri and Deku (why should I care about Eri more than I cared about Kota? At least Kota had personality. At least Kota actaully put his neck on the line and did something to help out! Shigaraki once again hasn't manage to accomplish anything). Why kill off Nighteye if you're just going to bring him back the next episode? No, don't give me that "regeneration" crap; he suffered catastrophic bleeding, both internal and external. His mind should have died of oxygen loss within five minutes. There's no way that the events of the four episodes occurred in only five minutes. Why even introduced prophecy/future sight as a plot point if you're just going to invalidate later anyway? |
| I really liked this episode. I loved the detail that went into Deku's design while using 100% of OFA; my guy went super Saiyan while carrying a loli |
  We don't know what kind of people we truly are until the moment before our deaths. As death comes to embrace you, you will realise what you are. That's what death is, don't you think? ------------------------------------ Itachi Uchiha |
| This episode was super good. Everything about it from the animation to the emotion to the fight and character designs. Deku looked amazing. Wish his hair was like that more often honestly. Anybody know of any anime with a lot of scenes like the one where he catches Eri? I felt like I just got sucked into that scene with the music choice and the otherwise silence and I just love when shows make me feel like that so I'm wondering if there are any shows with that kind of feeling semi-often. |

| The dynamics for MHA keeps getting better and better, now with Deku, the infinite 100% One for All version vs. Overhaul. HAH Mr. Compress, Toga and Twice helping them sure is a blessing in disguise. But for Eri, her Quirk, much more than its insane rarity, similar to Overhaul, the power to rewind time. The music choice when Eri jumped into Deku's arms was somewhat haphazard (like full-blown emotions), but in the long-run, it's a victory part-thereof for the heroes, especially when Deku is the only enemy left for Chisaki to bring down. With Nighteye's fate, they'd fail, but they're not putting down without a fight, to twist to a better fate. For Deku, his one-in-a-million moment to save Eri had come. A curse for Chisaki, but a blessing for Deku as her rewind powers are able to compress his body-damaging One For All, to go infinite without being life-endangering to its post-effects. Dangerous and deadly the high risks of "going beyond, plus ultra!", but he did it without breaking an arm and a leg. But to understand Chisaki's proposal to go full-on good and evil through marketing through Quirk exploitation is as bad as it comes. He DID NOT choose to be evil, but instead his repaying actions to the yakuza MADE him evil in mindset towards the heroes who think of nothing but saving the day and keeping the peace within. That's the stereotypical mindset of such people like Deku, who claims nothing but to save everyone out of trouble, even a small girl like Eri. Phenomenal episode as usual. |

But he only lost his left arm and had a big fucking stone penetrating his body. How tf can anyone die from that? They sure have people with healing quirks in universe, so if they want excuse to keep him alive, they can do it. |
ProofByColor said: 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. well deku is pretty much killing himself every second (did you forget what a single punch in 100% did to him?) eris quirk is not having enough time to make some serious damage weirdly enough if the hearth/lungs weren't penetrated as long the they don't remove the object people are known to survive a suprisily amount of time after being impaled by SilentNox said: -Aincrad- said: Wait what?

The first time I watched this episode, I was looking for that extremely cool, triumphant music hype point that my hero's excels at. Because of this, I left it with kind of an empty feeling, but now I realize I was wrong in even looking for that. The directors still got it, as proven by the scene where Midoriya boosts his entire body to 100%, the music was top notch and supposed to be super hype! But after that smash, its wasn't hype anymore, and that's what left a lot of people here confused, including me. But since the directors are still top notch at what they do, then what were they trying to accomplish here here? It switches from Deku's perspective to mainly Overhaul's perspective after that kick. A flashback comes out of nowhere relating to Overhaul, and as he's flying through the air and in the fight's final moments, we mainly hear his inner monologue while the only thing related to deku we see are his glares and movements. It's all accompanied by eerie music and it feels... Unfitting. Like the directors had no idea what they're doing. But now that I get it, it carries a much bigger emotional impact with it. It's from the perspective of the villains, not the heroes, and the roles have been turned around, and it's not supposed to be hype... It's supposed to be fucking terrifying. Midoriya absolutely looks terrifying right before that final punch, and Overhaul looked terrified. Besides that, those gigantic punches were most likely to demonstrate how overwhelmed Overhaul felt in that moment, he had worked so long for his plan, long and hard to perfect the drug, and now it's all being blown to pieces in mere seconds by someone who's not even a certified hero yet. The anime was trying to show what it's like being the villain in moments like these. We've seen the heroes fights and their perspectives, but this time, it was all centered more around the villains, and that's exactly what's conveyed here, and I think they did that masterfully. If you still don't understand this, switch the roles of Overhaul and Deku and the scene, and see if the music still makes sense. Anyway this was my semi-analysis. I hope people can appreciate this episode more for what it is now! summing up the final boss this episode wasn't Overhaul but Deku Mod Edit: Multipost merged, please use the "Edit" or "Quick Edit" buttons to edit your original post |

| Damn, what a fight. It's been a while since I've seen Deku run loose. That finishing move tho, it reminds me of Saitama's serious series punch lol |

No, I didnt back, I want watch this season in anime. |
| Great episode! Seems Toga helped Deku in that reinforcment from the girls! Seems Eri have a rewind quirck, and she managed to use it in the right moment, Deku was able to figth with his 100% thank to her rewind quirk, they managed to defeat Chisaki in that awesome fight, and managed to change Nigheye's vision, altering future! Another unpredictable episode, but it was just epic, curious for next episode! |
 |
| Awww, no new opening? That's kinda disappointing. Maybe in the next episode, hopefully. But dayum, what an episode. |
"At some point, I stopped hoping." |
| Man, this episode really hit the spot. That was fantastic. Exceeded my expectations - Overhaul was one crazy powerful guy, and just...well, crazy, but I love how where all the other heroes were taken out or out of energy to fight, Deku kicked it into high gear and ripped Chisaki a new one. Or a bunch of new ones. That was excellent, plot wise, animation wise, all of it. I do wish they'd have used more Ochaco-chan though, but I don't think she's quite ready for THOSE kinds of fights. I also thought Toga Himiko warning the heros that Deku needed help (disguised as Ochaco) was a pretty awesome twist. Even the sound design was top notch - ...now, on a slightly different point after reading reviews and comments around the internet.... I'm a little surprised to see so many people bitching and whining about that aspect - and about how they're essentially "tired of heroes" - well... you might want to consider watching a different anime, guys. What EXACTLY are you looking for in "My Hero"? I don't really care what anime it is, my expectation is never that each episode is going to be something brand new that I've never seen anything like before - it blows me away that there are evidently a lot of anime fans out there who have the delusion that they've seen even one other anime that was that way - think real hard - you're full of crap, haha. Then and now, this anime has just about everything an anime should have and is one of the most exciting and entertaining anime experiences you can currently find - if you don't like tropes and cliches you MAY want to consider finding another form of entertainment, one that doesn't exist in any medium. Just saying. |

"At some point, I stopped hoping." |
| This arc felt like a very long boring filler arc, filled of plot devices, plot holes, poor pacing and awful characterization (with some exceptions). Nighteye's future sight is pointless as we know Deku is the one narrating his own story, of course he's going to succeed, Deku is the embodiment of plot armor after all so all the emotional weight he could've had is denied and left out without any meaning. For being one of the most hyped arcs as the "best of the manga so far" this was sure really disappointing, even worse, it seems next arcs are bad from what I've heard, so, RIP. MHA just dug it's grave. |
| "We could make the world better, but it's easier to just shut our eyes." ~Blackwall |
| When Midoriya is winding up to punch Overhaul, you can see his fist is animated differently than usual. It has the type of shading that All-Might's fist has, same has his face and body. |
 |
| Despite being imperfect, this ep was fan-fucking-tastic. The difference between this and previous weeks is like night and day, we were close from a movie level production here, whether it was directing or animation-wise. Finally some good storyboarding and, most of all, good compositing, like I couldn't believe the first half of the ep took place in the same spot as the previous two episodes, for the first time since the raid started it was pretty to look at and correctly captured the mood of the arc. Too bad it happens right before it's FUCKING OVER. Now I gotta say, that scene were Eri jumps into Deku's arm was fucking brilliant. When the music kicked in while Deku was making his way to Eri, with no sound, I teared up. This is what the anime was always great at, making legendary scenes out of one or two panels. This is some top-notch directing right there. I never listened to Might+U because I wanted to keep it for the movie, but now that it's been played in the anime, I'm gonna listen the shit out of it, it's a marvellous song. This is why I have no fucking clue on why that many people didn't like it, what the hell's the problem ? Is it the lyrics ? The fact that it used vocals ? That's a genuine question, if people who didn't ike the song could provide an answer I'd be insaney grateful. Also, after the clusterfuck that were the previous two episodes, I can't believe I'm still seing people complaining about the animation, like, I'm definetly one of the most disapointed by this season, but man let's be honest at some point, it's probably the best animated episode of the whole show, even before Nakamura's godly cut. That said, I'm not surprised by those mixed comments for multiple reasons : 1. Overall, the anime version of this arc sucks, the build up was done well, but the raid was atrocious, poor animation, colored version of the manga for the most part, nothing more. Meaning that if people were not feeling it until now, chances were low they'd be a 100% into this one, as good as it is. 2. The music choice at the end was unexpected, I was unpleasantly surprised at first, but as @pouleriko said, it's actually a bold direction choice that the more I think about the more brilliant I think it is. But since it's at the polar opposite of how a lot of manga reader imagined the scene, I can understand the dissapointement. 3. The flashback placements were indeed terrible, and the worst thing is that putting it at the beginning of the ep would have made so much sense since the battle obviously plays out from Overhaul's POV. This episode is pretty damn great, but that doesn't make up for how extremly underwhelming previous episodes were, especially Mirio's. |
| With this we should learn to appreciate what we have now and always thank Bones for continuing to encourage boku no hero academia, because if we do not know how to value this, they change us to another animator company that can be worse. |
 |
| Full cowling: Loli backpack mode :D |
 |
| Woof; Full-cowl Deku is a beast. I could imagine real easily if this series was darker, that he would probably go further than just defeat Overhaul. Don't know how Deku will get more powerful in the future, but if he's more than that when he's in his full-hero epilogue/ending, just DAMN. |
| "You know you've reached peak quality when a doujin is better than the actual source series." (Eg. To LOVE-Ru) Just to list a couple of biases. Likes: A good story, characters, writing, romance, a good plot twist or something that breaks expectations (In a good way), 'backstory' and justice. Dislikes: Bad romance, too much fanservice, the harem genre, yuri, yaoi, and bad writing. |
| Everybody wanted the fight to get extended but that would make Deku's 100% seem weaker. If he struggled AT ALL in this fight, it shows his limit. Deku smacking the hell out of him with almost no effort implies that, even though we saw him at 100% there, we're still not seeing him operating at full capacity. Also, why didn't All Might glow like Deku does? |
 |
| everything I said about this season- about how this season was bad... I take it back now... |
| The animation seemed to change a lot compared to the usual style, but it was delivered so well that I'm not complaining. The music too, seemed so random and unlike the usual style but combined with Deku's voice acting I literally bawled. His kind words to Erii, and his passion, and ...idk HE JUST SCREAMED DEKU-SENPAI which is weird because he wasn't of my favourite characters. But he understands man. He understands being a hero, and also being weak and how that isn't the last thing... to worry about. Man so so good.;... Favourite episode so far although if I were to critique each aspect of it individually, I'd probably run out of characters. If anything, I feel like...the STORY... or the theme of being a hero was just portrayed really well. Surprisingly, I also really don't hate Chisaki. He's an antihero in his own sense as he's just trying to save his world you know? That's surprising... BUT P.S. What happens if she touches a normal quirkless human. Anything? Or is it suggested she will make every human stop existing...like the big bang theory in reverse? 10000000000000000000000000000/5 |
