| Wow, this season sure loves to shove worthless flashbacks in between fight scenes, huh? They take away from the immersion to say the least. We see some good animation but the fight scene has long pauses completely messing up the anticipation. Also, I see that they experimented with that only music with no sound thing during the beginning with meh results. Dunno, this season feels slow, as if trudging through mud, with uninspired backstories shoved in between fights, with a complete lack of build up for the fights. 3/5. Atleast the animators tried animating this directional mess of an episode. |

miros said: xkazutox said: Yes, but the manga didn't show that angle and the anime made it look like it look shooting beam fists assuming he doesn't have a flight ability to close his distance to Chisaki. That's why I said it was a reference. lol  People are forgetting that yatapon (the one who did this scene) also worked in One punch man season 1 actually he did a lot of the action scenes in there It's Yutapon cubes not yatapon. Also, the animator's name is Yutaka Nakamura not yatapon. This episode also showed us how horrible direction can waste an individual's talent. |

Nobody5464 said: Do the people complaining not realize the episode was never gonna live up to their unreasonable expectations manga readers with their idealized nostalgic remembrance of the first time they read the story line were never gonna be satisfied with the adaptation becuase it would never live up to their ideal no matter what the studio did and their hyping of the season set a bar so high for even the non manga readers that it destroys their appreciation of their first experience with it cause they were expecting the impossible from the hype thrown at them I'm an anime only and I find this arc shit. Also, I'm in no way big of an mha fan to be overhyped for it. I expected standard mha fair(which is decent shonen action with some powerful emotional moments) but this was much worse. |

| I don't know man Nighteye said the future can't be changed and his quick is absolute and never been wrong before and besides how long has he been a hero? I know the author was just gunning for the shock value of Deku surviving despite everything so why not make Nighteye see Deku surviving that encounter with a very low chance and therefor ask him not to risk it? I think it's better that way cause now were going to the direction of the "future can be changed" so I think it makes sense, btw Nighteye's quirk will pretty much going to be useless or at least unreliable. |

| Bro i swear i always regret reading these episode discussions even an amazing episode like this has people saying shit like "yeah it's alright kinda meh" without a good explanation or just hating on it i swear some people have their expectations set at an unreasonable standard this was god damn amazing It's not just for MHA though legit every anime i look at these for i swear although there is some well deserved praise for this episode today i just feel like everyone on this site are idiots i do appricaite everyones differing opinions im not saying thats bad and tbh still i just need to vent becuase it feels like you all just watch shit you dont like and complain anyway rant over i've been waiting for this ep for so long and im super glad how it turned out amazing song and animation bones knocked it out of the park! |

| The sakuga this episode was fun and all, but I really dislike the fast pacing and how they don't put emphasis on the right points in time at all. I could deal with Mirio's slideshow battle as it was still stylistic and at least hit the right notes most of the time, but here it was just all over the place and even went with the cliché Engrish song in the midst of it all. I'm interested to see if all the budget went into that punch or if there's still something in waiting for the rest of the episodes, since seemingly they had no money to spare for much else. |
| uh oh! |

pouleriko said: After reading a lot of other people's thoughts, seeing some complaints, and rewatching the episode a few times, I get it now. 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! You are over analyzing. Lol. Fanboys be salty. |

HereticHunter said: 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. You just summed up my thoughts perfectly. |

It’s English sung by a native English singer named Makayla Phillips. Not Engrish. The budget stays the same Throughout the whole anime just like all anime. Nakumaru animated the final punch and he worked on a episode before this one https://www.sakugabooru.com/post/show/106576 |

| This was mind-blowing. The best part for me was Eri jumping towards Deku, the direction was incredible, as there was no sound only voice acting and that gorgeous soundtrack, I believe it's a vocalized version of I can Become a Hero. The fight was mind-numbing hype, Deku in full OFA 100% was glorious and I can't wait to see him like that in the far future when he's capable of using his full power. The Yakuza boss I believe saw Chisaki as a sought of stepson but Chisaki always taught of the boss as only the boss, hence his unwavering ambition to repay him. I guess the Yakuza boss never told him he loves him.[I don't read the manga, I am just guessing, don't tell me how wrong I am] Eri's quirk is ridiculous, and because she doesn't really know how or what it does she chooses not to use it or it's simply because Overhaul, she believes that no matter what she rewinds he will break it again. Now I believe something is going to happen or get revealed next episode because of Eri's quirk being busted, so the story needs to have a way to stop that busted-ness, because technically she can revive people from the dead, right. The Deku 100% vs Overhaul fight was glorious, it was mainly shown from Overhaul's perspective and it showed how terrifying Deku can get with OFA 100%, hence the AFO theme in the background. It also reminds me of AFO's comment saying how terrifying it was to see All Might coming at him. Deku channelling his Saitama with the consecutive punches and again Yutaka Nakamura pleasing my eyes with style. This fight was one-sided and even though I love it lacked the emotional turmoil of the other fights the series is known for, it simply wasn't going for that, this was essentially a slaughter, and I don't have a problem with that, because like I said earlier the best part for me was Eri jumping towards Deku. The best fight this arc was Mirio vs Overhaul, yes all of it, even the time passing slide show, it didn't need animation for me to feel overwhelmed with emotions and I can rewatch it any day and still shed a tear. Uraraka had a great moment of F the future but she and the rest were weak from that energy absorption guy, I wish Ryukyu squad got to do something there, but I get it, what would they have even done when Deku was 100%. But they saved Nighteye. Also because Overhaul combined with the energy absorption guy, does that mean Overhaul was absorbing OFA energy. |

| Unrelated to the episode itself, but I gave this another watch after Funi dubbed it and they have the major players saying the past tense of rewind as “rewound-ed.” I winced at this blatant disregard for grammar. |

He's making interesting points, while you are calling him a fanboy for just trying to understand what the director actually wanted to do. You're clearly the saltiest here. |
This animation was so trippy but in a good way. Like if someone had shown me a picture of this: I would've guessed that its fanart. Still, this was really satisfying to watch, especially with Yutapon's involvement~ |
-Aincrad- said: Wow, Deku was f*cking sick, I need a wallpaper of that! BTW the episode was insane, it was outstanding, but to be completely honest, I expected the fight to be even better, like we couldn't even see the punches. I guess this season really isn't about the insane battles, but the emotions, in which it stands out for sure. Maybe I just had too high expectations after all the build up and hype that manga readers caused. 5/5 for the episode, obviously the best in this season, but I will stick to the 8/10 score for the season. It wasn't good enough to raise it. Deku VS Muscular was still much better. Curious to see what the rest of the season is about. This episode was really good. It had great music and the animation was nice, but I do agree that Deku vs Muscular was way better to me aswell. |

| Been reading so much shit about this season over on reddit for the last month or so and WHAT THE FUCK This season has been fucking great? Great direction, animation and lot of very interesting and well-explored character dynamics and themes--some of the best yet from the series imo. They really fucking packed A LOT of exploration into this arc. AND MAN EPISODE 13 FUUUUCK THOSE ONE PUNCH MAN PUNCHES Perhaps my favourite sequence of BNHA yet. The HYPE, the music, the effects, so perfect. Overwhelming power IS and should be terryfing, and I really loved how the music worked for that in the scene. All Might was as much a symbol of invincible hope for the people as a symbol of absolute fear for the villains, and man Deku was terrifying for Chisaki there, in that moment. |

| the episode seems like non canon movie to me this is nor boku no hero we know |
 ๏ปฟ๏ปฟ๏ปฟ |
This episode was quite entertaining. Quick question: Does this mean Eri can become Deku's key item until he learns the full potential of One for All? |
 |
| "Back into his kind arms." Back to safety. I love that scene with the (background) music :') The future was changed! This episode is definitely one of the unforgettable ones this season! |
 |
| Okay glad I got what I wanted that Deku Overhaul fight did not disappoint, can't believe Deku went Super Saiyan Blue :P I have a feeling Night Eye isn't surviving those injuries. At least that gives hope that his foresight was wrong about All Might's death also. |
| I have a third testicle that gives me psychic powers |
| Holy fucking shit. It's rare episodes of anime make me have that "HOLY SHIT" feeling but this was one of them. So that's Deku's true full power when he is able to maintain it. I wasn't expecting it go down like that. |
 |
| So now we know Eri's quirk, I'm fairly convinced of a theory i've been sitting on. |
| Deku catching Eri for me will be most memorable scene of last 2 decades, since I've started watching anime. |
 |
| The flashbacks are annoying and usually don't make me enjoy the characters more. Sakuga for the win. Deku was slightly above level-cringe this episode. I like Eri though, she won me over here. |
| He changed the future! |
 |
| A shame this obviously big episode had no impact on me, again. I have no emotional connection to anything going on in this arc and Deku has clearly lost some of the underdog aspect to his character. And that insert song was awful. |
| Omg Deku and Eri-chan make the ULTRAmate team! :DDD Uraraka WHO????? Jkjkjkjk <33333 love my OTP lololol |
| Uravity pulling out mad fucking Sarah Connor energy with that "No future but the one we create" and that track playing at the same time- god fucking damn it yes |

| Bad! Disappointment! The bad memories I suffered when I read this part in the manga are back! Deku changing the future! The worst MHA arc (thank goodness Horikoshi never returned to this awful level of writing in the manga). 1/5 (Imagine caring more about the battle and not for the writing) |

| Really loved that episode. So that guy Ryukyu was fighting against can extract the vitality of persons he touches and with that boost he just inhaled it lol. The interaction between Toga, Twice and Mister Compress double was pretty funny. So their plan was just to get Eri and bring her to Shigaraki. We also saw more about what happened in the past and how the real boss ended up laying in bed. Even if Overhaul is such a terrible person, his intention was just to pay back his dept. That moment where Midoriya and Eri-chan tried to reach each other combinded with the beautiful OST playing in the background was perfect. At first I was a little bit perplex what exactly happened, why everything was crumbling and Overhaul injured. Even Midoriya himself at first couldn't tell what was going on. Eri's quirk is scary in the wrong hands and Midoriya was right, she just can't control it yet. His transformation when he used 100% One for All looked so good my god. I got Rock Lee vibes when he fought Gaara. The combination of Midoriya using One for All at 100% where his body gets constantly injured and Eri's quirk who just resets over and over again couldn't be stopped in the slightest. Just to see what Midoriya is able to do when he goes all out got me so pumped. Midoriya really changed the future. I'm so happy for Sir Nighteye. His smile ended this episode in the best way possible :) |
 |
| I don't know this felt kinda meh, i think it's the flashbacks in the middle of the episodes that keeps killing the momentum in these fights, why do we need a goddamn backstory in every fight this season. Also Eri's power is so broken, so she can heal All Might and give Lemillion his quirk back and restore dead people lol i'm sure they gonna try to nerf her in the next few episodes or give us the good old cliche "you don't have to use your powers anymore, you can finally live like a normal gurl!". |

| Amazing episode.Chisaki's voice is perfect for who he is and Eri is again cute.And ofc I still fking hate Uraraka's voice and character. |
Come on man,where is that Noragami season 3 masterpiece.We want it, Bones! |
| It was very kind of Toga to help out the heroes by posing as Deku to get the others to help. She might've taken advantage of the situation but it really helped. Chisaki really doesn't know how to pay back a favor but it looks like he's just using his gratitude as an excuse to take advantage of experimenting on Eri so he can monopolize her and control the world. Disassembling someone you're grateful to and reassembling them into a state where they're practically a vegetable so he wouldn't get in your way is overkill, man. Eri's mutated Quirk is a dangerous thing especially since she has no control of it yet but pairing it with the immense body-destroying power of Deku's One For All, it's a match made in heaven. It's as if Overhaul was facing All Might for a little while there and we all know how that'd end up~ The fight didn't have the hair-raising impact I've felt and imagined when I first saw it but it's not bad. There's still the matter of everyone's severe injuries though... |
 |
| So this was the big moment everyone hyped so much and made me catch up almost 2 seasons? I am disappointed. |
