Kacchan is so awesome damn it!
- Not only his quirk alone is strong
- He also thinking while fighting, not just blindly attacking
- He figured out Kirishima and Tokoyami's weakness during their fight. As Kirishima said, he enjoyed exploiting his enemy's weakness. This was proven multiple times.
- He also got the body and physics to back it all up
- Not to mention his natural instinct
- He is practically the whole package
- His only downside is his personality lmao
He should stop acting villain-ish.

ANYWAY

I like Ingenium already! I hope he is okay :(

CAN'T WAIT FOR BAKUGOU VS TODOROKI

They are both my favs! I'm BEYOND HYPED!

PLUS ULTRA!

Because this is still your standard school shounen. I suppose there will be deaths later (lots of death flags in the manga right now) but at this point it might still be too early.

The new villain looks sick as fuck. And is also really ruthless.

It was predictable that the final match will be Bakugou vs Todoroki. At least Iida and Tokoyami managed to get that far in the tournament.

Oh, hey they still made the fights with the secondary characters boring as fuck even though it was the semi-final..."nice"...


hey not all shounen fights, semi final or not, have to be dramatic as hell and take like 2-3 episodes. Besides, the highlights of the sports festival is todoroki, midoriya, bakugo, and iida (transitioning to stain arc), the others will have their mvp moments later on, but not now. I like how Bnha focuses on the important aspects instead of dragging out the unimportant fights.

that was boring, Bakugo is so boooriiiing, his action are so predictable, arrghhh arrrghhhh rumble rumble cocky smirk cocky smirk arghhhh rumble rumble, he's so boring and i feel bad for people who idolized him, what a one-dimensional annoying character.

Too bad i think my favorite character, ♥♥Todoroki♥♥ will lose to him and his smelly armpit next episode because the author likes Bakugo so much. eeeewwww


i understand your hatred towards bakugo. At this moment in the story he may seem pretty 1D and is just an annoying stereotypical angry rival of the main character, but if you keep on watching bnha (or reading), you'll reach a point where he gets a hell lot of character development that will blow your mind! It's from that point that many readers (me included) that changed our opinion of him and started liking him (not idolizing him!). Also, your favorite character Todoroki will get his shine in this next arc, the stain arc, while your disliked character bakugo won't show up much. Hope you're happy.

Eh.

Todoroki and Bakugo are the stupidest, most boring characters in the whole series.

Bakugo needs his ass beaten hard so that he actually grows as a character. Right now he's OP to the point of ridiculousness, and only loses in the narrowest of ways. He never gets any real anger at him for him being a trollish thug, nor do the teachers really trash him for being a villain more than a hero. I hope this stain guy offs him or something.

Todoroki is sasuke all over again. He in Bakugo are the only two characters in the hero side that show no weaknesses at all, while the rest of the people have well defined quirks that are limited and that they overcome. His mental anguish with endeavor is boring as hell. Yet he dominated this tournament.

Stain is eh...how on earth can you take someone who looks like him seriously? He's a living caricature. It's like they took spawn, a teenage mutant ninja turtle, and the Maxx and put them into a blender.

I have the nasty feeling this is where it starts to go downhill.

How about you just read the manga and see where this goes...because the consensus is that this is the arc where a lot of the Hype for the series came with it and after it, and Ewwww that Todorki and Sasuke comparison is absolutely Disgusting

Well. That'll be a shitty day for Iida. Lost his match and his brother.

And the final will be as boring as it gets. One stubborn child against another stubborn child. Well it was to be expected after Midoriya lost. Todoroki's ability is interesting at least I guess. But I doubt we'll see anything even close to what happened between him and Midoriya. There is no way he'll use his fire like before. And he'll still win probably.

Yeah. That's super important to not mix up. If we get a third season, it'll be made clear why that distinction needs to be made.


If I remember correctly we already learned in the first season why that distinction is important. I think it was when All Might explained how Midoriya will get his quirk.

I can pretty much guarantee that All Might wouldn't have let that cat of the bag so early in the series. He would have just stated that the ability is called "One-For-All". Otherwise he would have had to explain the exact reasoning for his scar, and who he fought. When Deku first met him, All Might just gave the bare basics for an explanation.

I feel like only MHA could get away with throwing so many fights in just one episode, having some important stuff going on in the background, and also introducing a major (?) villain as well.
I don't know how Bones did it, but it worked!
I just expected to get the rest of the quarter-finals, but they ploughed right through the semi-final matches as well. Short but sweet, and that Bakugouvs. Kirishima fight was way more intense than I was expecting; I'm glad Kirishima held his own for a while.
Tokoyami vs. Bakugou (or Todoroki if he used his left) is just a bad match-up, although I'd easily put him on par with those two in strength and skill.

Iida held his own too, actually. So close, but no cigar- it's just not his day is it? First he stumbles at the last hurdle, and then his mother phones to tell him that his older brother could potentially be dead or severely injured. Probably the latter.

GAAAAHHHHH, I can't wait for a whole week for next episode- I just knew Bakugou vs. Todoroki would be the final two and since I've been convinced the entire time, I feel like I've been waiting ages for it!!

MHA is honestly on fire right now. Even the more chilled out episodes are gold. I just can't fault it at all right now...it somehow keeps getting better and better.

EDIT: I cried when All Might revealed he was originally Quirkless.

Oh, and Stain looks like Makoto Shishio lmao

Does it matter how much he said? It was obvious there is a difference the moment the ability was called by a different name.

Although you might be right I just read the name somewhere because I cannot find the scene I'm thinking of anymore.

another awesome episode!
so many action-packed fights!
it's also a good thing to know that All Might was also quirkless, and that made Izuku grateful!
Fight between Shiozaki vs Iida was also quick Iida wins!
Ashido also lost against Tokoyami!
Bakugo was super aggressive this time and won against Kirishima!
Todoroki is still too powerful against Iida and he got frozen also! good fight Iida! but Todoroki still had a upper hand!
Bakugo figured-out also the weakness of Tokoyami gave-up and and Bakugo also won the semis...still aggressive as ever!
Finals would be Todoroki vs Bakugo would be very awesome!
Hero Killer Stain finally showed-up and even the villains are recruiting him!
5/5.

For some reason Tokoyomi's shadow reminds me of Darkwing Duck. Despite him not being a duck.
I knew that Bakugo and Todoroki were going to be the finalists. It's going to be a tough fight for Todoroki. Unless, he melts his own ice and use it against Bakugo's fire attacks.
Also, congrats to Shiozaki and Mina for being the girls that made it the farthest in the tournament. However, Ochako was the hardest working girl of the tournament.
Bah Gawd. That's gotta be Stain. That's gotta be Stain.

Also, this tournament has pretty much been like Pokemon battles.

I dunno. The amount of characters is starting to kinda tick me off because it just seems like they're all casually being thrown away anyway. I get that it's a school, so there are going to be a lot of people in the class, but don't pretend like they're going to be something when they're just there to fill space.
And the female characters suck the most. Every time. It's almost always two dudes in the end. Of course. Predictable. I mean, it's not like this anime ever tried to break the mold anyway, but sometimes I still hope, "Maybe this one'll be a lil' different". Nope.

Lida's brother finds the guy called the "Hero Killer" and just confronts him by himself. That's not very smart lol

The Midoriya and All Might moment was nice. Pretty cool that All Might was quirkless also. I feel like that should've been obvious, but I didn't even think about it 😅

I wonder if Todoroki will be forced to use his left side in this match.. Either way, this should be fun to watch.

Kind of a messy episode. But forgivable since it was preceded by one of the series best. I will say how quick all the other fights were was pretty disappointing. And this episode seemed to be shifting back towards some of the stuff I didn't like in the first season. For instance the kind of annoying conflict, of whether Midoriya should use his new powers when they're so self destructive. And cheesy one note villains. Though it may be to early to make that call. If Iida's brother really is dead that's pretty savage though. And I liked the design of the new villain if nothing else. Very Frank Miller.

Bakugo and Todoroki are overpowered. Not directly because of the power of their abilities, but because they do not have any direct drawbacks like only being able to use it for 10 second like Iida, or having a specific weakness like Tokoyami's Dark Shadow. Todoroki was trembling, but only until he used fire. Apparently, there is no direct drain to stamina or so, only cold, and he can cancel that - so he can use it forever or what?

And Bakugo said he can't use it forever, but so far he used it longer than anyone without tiring. He can shoot giant blasts in a fraction of a second, for minutes. And he somehow doesn't even get blown back by his own blasts unless he wants it. And apparently, conservation of momentum doesn't apply to him, too. He can easily change directions in mid air, in a moments notice, while having so much speed that his opponents can't even *turn around* while he's running towards them, jumping over them, turning himself around, change his direction of movement and hit them.

Somehow, the explosions weaken Dark Shadow, but being covered in dark smoke doesn't count as darkness.

Both also can endure more than the bruisers likee.g. Kirishima. Tokidori was shoved face down into the concrete with a force that amounted to a car crash on the high way and he wasn't even scratched afterwards, much less dazed. Whereas Kirishima was taken out after a handful of good hits by Bakugo, which were far from his full power.

Only Midoriya can endure as much, but he hurts himself while doing so, so he is at his limit earlier, too.

Oh, the conservation of momentum doesn't apply to Todoroki, either. Iida was dragging him after his, with Todoroki being completely in the air. Iida was (somehow) immediately stopped (even though it was only his boosters..), but then Todoroki should have been carried on by the momentum. Basically, Todoroki applied this hack to both of them, as Iida clearly showed several times that it works normally for him. Without that, there was no way Todoroki could have prevented going out of bounds. Well, maybe a ice wall, as encasing also shouldn't work, unless he can apply ice faster than they are moving - but we clearly saw his ice was slower than Iida even before the later applied the booster.

I wonder how they'll justify one of them losing.
