I loved it. I loved how deku's intellect made him see that todoroki couldn't just keep spamming his ice, I loved how neither one of them would just stay down, I loved the final impact, and how the music fit it perfectly. I don't even watch that part of the episode just once, I'm not satisfied until I've seen it multiple times. as for todoroki's parents, I hate em both, but overall, this episode, and todoroki were the dopest

Also green hair doesn't seem like the lead. Honestly, multi-color and asshole seem to have the powers, and rival like prominence fitting that bill to me. Is that how it's supposed to be manga readers? I'm getting more of an ensemble vibe. Which is good. I like that.

What power does midnight have exactly? She took a piece of her clothes off(I see you animators sigh) and pink mist came out. What was that supposed to do?

Why does Recovery Girl Suck? Unless I missed the explanation I thought her quirk was healing,but other than that first time during season one I've seen none of this magical healing properties she should have. She's like a human nurse instead of a person with superpowers. Her patients are covered in bandages with broken bones, and are still in pain and bruised etc. Where's the instant cure? Again did I miss an explanation?


Midoriya (Green Hair) is definitively the Protagonist, though there are some students that also have a lot of Spotlight and as this is inspired by american comics the ensemble vibe is definitively intended also.

Midnights power are sleep pheromones. That's the purple mist it can put people to sleep.

And well recovery Girl has her limits. Her quirk isn't all powerful. It strains her stamina to heal and it also has limits on how serious of wounds it can heal. I would say Recovery Girl would only heal the necessary things with her quirk, as she doesn't have unlimited amount of stamina.

sorry for late reply but I would suggest for you to turn into Season 3 as it most-likely will have the best arc as of yet of the anime (2nd best fpr the manga, though that is even debatable as they are very close to one another).

I have no words. Everything was so on point in this episode. I knew it would be good but so good? Damn good job Bones. *Clap*

So as expected both Deku and Todoroki went all out from the beginning without any hesitation. It's sad that Deku can't control All for One. Just by seeing his fingers break it's hurts me. But something interesting got said by Bakugou. I haven't thought to much about it but he's right all these abilities have limits. Todoroki couldn't just use his ice ability wihtout having a disadvantige at a certain point because his body freezes.

Interesting to see more about his past and what happened there with his mother. His father is such an idiot. He hits his wife and his son just for his stupid goal to surpass All Might.....

At least Deku was able to help Todoroki using his flames that he hate so much. And crazy how much stronger he got. That last clash where even Midnight and Zementos had to do something against looked so good. I wanted to cry when I saw this animation, just godlike.

Deku delivered an awesome fight but unfortunately he was to injured at the end. Lol Endeavor is so stupid to think that Todoroki used his flames because he accepted him.

I'm curious about the conversations between Deku and All might as well as between Endeavor and Todoroki.

This episode and the events leading up to it made Todoroki one of my favorites in the story if not my favorite, he’s not just the typical tragic hero. Man he’s badass and That fight... wow, that’s only 5% of his power, imagine him at 20% or 50%

Bit disappointed that Todoroki couldn't beat Deku without using his fire power, but at least Deku didn't actually win.

I wonder if Deku will be able to control One For All without having to injure any fingers or limbs. I'm guessing that his physique is still weak and subpar to fully handle and regiment his powers.

This battle is one of my favorites, it was fucking lit! The way Deku sacrifices his fingers again and again to block Todoroki's attacks and him literally firing up Todoroki to finally use his half-hot power. This is why these two are tied in first place as my favorite characters.

I hope Todoroki's mom will regain her sanity. Todoroki is a saint for forgiving her.

That ending though. I knew Deku wouldn't win when it comes to power he is still behind Todoroki but he will definitely improve and become one of the strongest. This is his story after all.

I like the message the series is conveying. And I love the character development here.

And is Shoto crying here or was it just the heat?

Todoroki needs some nerf man… what the heck is this… he’s too OP.

If this was X-Men… he’ll definitely be an omega level.

Though… that fight was so beautifully animated… epic stuff.

Intense fighting, though since that cement guy intervened it feels like it should be invalidated. I wonder what Midnight was doing, looked like some kind of gas coming out from her body? That's probably why she wears that suit?

I had to re-watch the last 10 minutes about 3 times.

Todoroki's enlightenment, recognizing his identity and giving worth to himself making him burst in blazes of raging fire to unleash that final SUPER EPIC BLOW against Midoriya was just incredibly overwhelming.

This anime is going way beyond my expectations. I'm still shook. I need time to process what happened before going for the next episode, that was just so intense man.

i can't believe i've read the entire 18 pages of the thread.

but anyway, at the point in time i finally got to watch this, a lot of people really like endeavour and think he's a badass _hero_ and that makes me wonder what the hell did he do to get redemption from being the way he was to his family. to me he's not likeable and that would take something huge to change my mind...

and after reading a lot about "deku should've/shouldn't have won" i think he did pretty well even losing the fight. his main objective is being number one, but here he was trying to say "i'm here" and i'm pretty sure he got that message across even better than if he had won this, so...

This episode was the tipping point where I finally decided that this one's a masterpiece for me. Absolutely masterful in every way.

Deku used his all and even going beyond way past his limit, experiencing excrutiating pain all over his fingers as he breaks them with full power again and again just to awaken Todoroki's other half and bring out the best in him. His message to Endeavor did not only apply to the No. 2 hero, but it applied for Todoroki as well. By telling him that he shouldn't hate himself for having something he was born with, he remembered that he's a different person from his father as said by his mother. Even if his powers are directly related to him, his actions has nothing to do with his father and what he does is up to him alone. Seeing him blaze in acceptance of that fact was a beautifully menacing sight but seeing the man who ruined his mother's life cheering him on overwhelmed him emotionally.

They all went PLUS ULTRA in this battle, no doubt about it! Deku might've lost but there's no way he'll be able to advance either way but going that far and putting such a fight against someone like him's enough proof of his skill.

Soon as I watched this episode for the first time I was immediately hooked and my gosh I fell in love with Deku and Todoroki as characters and I can't even imagine what the future of this series will be like. Amazing from BONES and this fight in a short summary is simply EMOTIONALLY EPIC

Badass fight. Mad respect to Midoriya for pushing Todoroki to his true potential. They both fought to their limits to the very end, something that takes extreme discipline.

Anyone who wants to be the best wants their competition to get better, because it pushes themself to become better. Competition breeds excellence and Izuku Midoriya recognizes that. He wants the best for those around him surrounding himself with those greater than himself forcing himself to propel forward into strength he doesn't even know he has.

Midoriya is a true warrior. I will fight to become the best despite my disadvantages, because it matters not where you start, but where you end. Deku, you understand this. We will fight for what we want. If you really want something, you will find a way. Let's find that way.

THE EPISODE IS AMAZING! THE FIGHT IS INTENSE! THE OST IS ON POINT! THE ANIMATION IS IMPRESSIVE!

Both Deku and Shoto are badass. This is one of the best fights I have ever seen! /tears of joy/ (ಥ﹏ಥ)

Deku counters Shoto's ice attack with a Delaware Smash. This is superb! (>人<)



Shoto finally unleashes his fullest potential, thanks to Deku's encouragement! /throws sparkles/ (ノ◕ヮ◕)ノ*:・゚✧



The final clash of Deku and Shoto is epic! (ღ˘⌣˘ღ) (ง ͠° ͟ل͜ ͡°)ง



Even though Deku loses, he is still happy because he makes Shoto realizes something: Shoto should accept himself for who he is. In other words, Deku saves Shoto from self-repression.

Shoto ultimately accepts his fire power. He also learns to use his quirk in his own way to become who he wants to be, despite inheriting it from his parents.

When Shoto thanks Deku, I am happy! Both of them smile at each other. (。◕‿◕。)

Deku is a great person because he helps his opponent, even though it will lead for him to lose the match.

I love and ship them! Deku x Shoto. (~˘▾˘)~

Endeavor was really harsh during Todoroki's childhood, man. It's so sad that Deku lost but at least he made Todoroki realized something. I kind of have a hunch that he will win because he's really strong. I actually think he's the strongest among them.

OMG! The fight was epic! *O* Amazing! Both did great but Todoroki's definitely stronger than Midoriya. I had this feeling before this great match started that Todoroki could surpass my expectations and I was right!

Intense episode like I've predicted. Can't wait to watch the next upcomming matches *-*

I got really emotional when Todoroki's past was revealed. But holy shit thanks to deku's encouragement Todoroki was able to accept his own quirk instead of taking the burden that his mother and farther had put on him.
Also... Todoroki's clothing that was burnt which revealed his body. holy shit man. That was pretty hot.

Omg I never get sick of seeing this. The pure adrenaline I feel whenever we have these One for All 100% punch moments with the amazing music in the background it what makes MHA such a 10/10 for me. No series other than Attack on Titan season one has made me feel this pumped before. But even AOT only made me pumped the first time I watched it, MHA can do it over and over when I re-watch it. And they have soooo many of these epic scenes throughout the series.

MHA is a master when it comes to hype epic fight scenes. This is why its my favourite shounen and one of the my few genuine 10/10s.

i cant even describe how i felt during this episode. This is so epic...
There's just something that hits me every time when a character is giving their all and that's exactly what Todoroki and Midoriya did, especially Midoriya. Seeing him all fucked up and just fucking keeping going, man...
The animation too bro, it was on fucking point🔥
I cant lie, i cried watching this episode😂, its just motivational af
It's really hard for me to get this excited about anime, like, i used to feel like this when i first started watching anime and when i watched/ im watching my favorite anime, but im getting that amazing feeling from watching bnh same as i get when i watch nnts, aot, seishun buta yarou and others.
With all this being said, im 100% sure this is gonna be one more rare and amazing experience for me

Being a hero is not always about winning.

Aah WTF! It was such a mind blowing insane episode. The animation was just
phenomenal! It has set new standards.
Could this episode be more perfect!
Animation - 10/10
Drama - 10/10
Action - 10/10
Sounds - 9/10 (They could have provided bgm when the blast happens otherwise perfect)
Enjoyment - 10/10 (Wish could giver higher!)

Even the other characters managed to amaze by doing unexpected things from them. Bakugo is so much more than just a meat head. He is on point with his battle analysis.

Are these kids really just beginning to hone their skills? They are experts already.

Midoriya is a crying lil shizz but dude! Being a hero is not always about winning but about saving others!

Great episode!!! That was amazing. Deku did amazing there. Unfortunately he lost but he managed to make understand Todoroki that his quirk is his quirk not Endeavor's. Finally Todoroki is in his full potential. That is good. But Endeavor should be punished for his unethical deeds. He is not worthy to be called a hero at all. Even Deku's loss was a sad thing but I still liked that how they took the fight. Deku isn't ready yet so getting defeated is normal actually. But now I think next interesting match could be Todoroki vs Bakugo. However I am waiting to see if this happens.

That was the first time I've seen animaton this good since AOT season 3. Wow. Simply amazing! I'm glad Todoroki won, he deserved it. Very sad backstory.

Hopefully there's more fight scenes animated like that!
