| Tournament hype! Cheerleader fanservice hype! |

| Everybody's like,"I wanna be the best!" Nobody's like,"I wanna save lives!" I absolutely love this anime, but... come on! Where's the Mumen Rider type??? It's upsetting that no one cares about actual people. |
BonkyTrollDoll said: you're see it later this season, if they make it to it. that's when bnha truly starts to shine, start to show that it's not just a normal black and white hero shounen anime, it's something more, something darker, that delves deeper into the human psyche, shows how the hero society is corruptedEverybody's like,"I wanna be the best!"

| After such a long and intense convo Midoriya falls for it lol. Well he's not stupid so let's see what he's got up his sleeve. juicykitten95 said: leesunrie said: todoroki's backstory is too dark. they left out more details from the manga endeavors was abusing todoroki since he was 5 and his monther was trying to protect him until abusive relationship broke her to the point she even saw todoroki as an eyesore (todorokis left eye reminded her too much of endeavors eyes) endeavor is abusing his position as a hero and i hope that deku will try to fight against that system at some point (being a hero is a profesion after all so its logical to assume that lots of heroes are prioritizing their own ego and status instead of saving people which im sure is the motivation behind our main villain) I wonder if they'll point these things out in the future. I do hope so. |
 |
| Am I the only one that is annoyed by how much they stall every episode? The intro is already longer then usual, then they repeat the last episode for like 5 minutes. But I guess that is what happens whith 2 cours.. |

| I binged the whole show up to this episode in a few hours, it's stressful actually having to wait for the next episode now!! |
IF YOU HAVEN'T WATCHED ODDTAXI OR SAIKI K I'LL BONK YOU IN THE HEAD |
| I don't understand why we're having this instead of the finals. The explanation was kinda confusing. Does this basically mean nothing (that is, it's just a spectacle) at the end of the day? The confrontation about being number 1 is really cheesy. Sure, it may be a personal obsession of yours, but does someone who's supposed to be a hero need to make such a fussl over it? Not a big fan of the foreshadowing. Dude tells Deku not to answer his opponent, but doesn't explain why... then Deku goes ahead forgets what he was told and answers anyway... extremely convenient. Might as well just make the foreshadowing more subtle if you're going to make the characters behave without using their brains otherwise. |
| Damn Uraraka has such bad luck. Bakugou in the first round already. What is she supposed to do against that lol Also rather surprising that two guys stepped back from their position. And Ojiro even warned Midoriya for his first match. I mean it's not like people in his class actually hate him but I didn't think anyone would go out of their way like that. The rival thinking seemed pretty bad when they started the event. I'm really hoping Midoriya gets back into the match after he fucked up so early in his fight. I mean Ojiro even warned him and he still fell for it. Would be kinda sad if he loses in the first round already. Especially after he was saved by Tokoyami in the previous round. |
| Todoroki thought that Deku was All Might's secret love child. OMG! XD Now that I think about it. We rarely see All Might's eyes. It's usually just black and these shiny little blue pebbles in the middle. So some people such as Endeavor, choose a spouse based on their quirk and have children with them just to strengthen their own quirks. Todoroki seems to abhor his father with a passion. |
| 臭い- |
| Oh dang Todoroki's backstory is dark. Like Bakugo just wants to win and Deku just wants to make sure all of his support isn't put to waste, but Todoroki is jut "hey I was forcefully made and I wanna prove my dad wrong by not using the power he gave me". I think whoever that purple-haired guy was, Hitoshi (I think? Not too sure) is kind of interesting but at the same time I don't really care about him. (Well, clearly because I can barely remember his name). His quirk is probably something like mind wiping though, since the two who withdrawed mentioned losing their memory of the battle except the end. |
| Anyone voiced by Yuki Kaji always has a tragic backstory. Shiso kid probably uses mind control or something. Is that even fair lol |
 |
| So now we know what really happened to Todoroki's face. When he first appeared in BnHA, I thought the red spot on his face was part of him for being a quirk. |
 She got him back. If you understand the characters well enough, you'd know she did! |
Interesting, because it certainly doesn't sound like a particularly hype matchup. |

Well, considering that the episode aired in like May you could have always just watched it instead of commenting :P It's one of my favorite parts of the arc because of how fucking badass she is Yeah, I was also like dafuq dit this come from. This happened like months ago lol ;D |
| You guys not familiar with the concept of watching stuff after it airs? |
| "Yes, I have been deprived of emotion. But not completely. Whoever did it, botched the job." - Geralt of Rivia |
| I don't see why todoroki sides with his mother after she pours boiling water on him. |
| Oh snap that ending! Pretty damn impressive development, let's see what's next. |
 |
| Ugh, as expected it turned into a tournament fighter. I just hope this won't last for the entire season. Would be super lame. |
| I can't believe Midoriya is that stupid. You were warned not to say anything and you let yourself get baited by some taunting. You're not Bakugo ffs >_> |
 |
| Man, Shouto's backstory is harsh :/ And yet he still seems to respect Midoriya for whom he is, which instantly makes him 10000x better rival than Bakugo, ugh. I hope they become more of friends in the future :3 I honestly don't believe that Midoriya would take opponent's bait just like that, at least from what we've seen of him up until now. I think he has his ears plugged and is just acting based on what the blond-guy told him, or something similar. |
  |
| Urgh this series is just too good. Really loving the character development amidst the competition, and it isn't even against the real big bad! |
| I'm Bruneian and I like anime. And Manchester United. And fat cats. |
| YOU FOOL!!!! IT'S A TRAP!!!!!!!!!!!!! D:< |
| So sorry that fire/ice-kun had a rough time with his old man...but he's still a jerk |
 |
on 
| I feel sorry for Todoroki and his mother. His father is such an idiot. Just because he couldn't beat All Might he now uses his son. And to cap it all Endeavor married a woman just for her ability.... That must be hard for Todoroki. I was wondering about that red spot in his face. So it's from a burning with water which his mother throwed in his face. The speech of Midoriya was epic especially with the OST, gave me a little bit chills. Bakugou heard everything they said, would be cool to know what he thinks about it. Mineta is such a rascal. He persuaded the girls to wear these cheerleader outfits which created a nice fanservice. Ochako and Momo looked so sexy in it. And now the last round has begun. Interesting pairings. Shinsou is a mystery for me. What the heck is his ability. Ojiro gave up without any hesitation and why did he advise Midoriya not to say anything to Shinsou? I also don't understand what happened to Midoriya. He seems like hypnotized. Shinsou didn't do anything besides from saying something. Hopefully Midoriya will be able to beat him. In the next round Todoroki for sure will be his next opponent. |
 |
| Oh God that cliffhanger. Why on earth would you respond to that Deku?! Usually he uses his head a bit more than this... Todoroki is an interesting character, I'm liking him. |
LOL Todoroki thought Deku was All Might’s love child. Okay. Hahaha XD Poor Todoroki, his father’s an asshole. Doesn’t see him as a kid but as an investment. It reminds me of some parents, especially in some East Asian countries. I like how the American team has weird pointy noises. The girls look hot in their cheerleader outfits, notice how all of them are thicc? Also, Kendo choosing Monoma Keito as her ‘perverse person.’ Lol I guess if you answer that guy, he gains control over you or something like that. |
| 臭い- |
| Damn, anime Zuko's backstory is just as sad as cartoon Zuko's. But at least cartoon Zuko's mom was on his side and wasn't the one who burned half his face off. And fucking Deku. You had one job. |
| The cheerleader outfits were a treat for the eyes, class 1-A has a bunch of hotties for sure. Too many good girls to decide who's the best though. I thought why Midoriya was so dumb to reply to him after being warned by Ojiro before, but it seems like they talked about his abilities a bit more specifically before the match. So I assume Midoriya has a plan and did it on purpose. |
| NO, DEKU! /facepalms am i the only one who thinks it's a bit uncharacteristic of midoriya to be this careless when he was warned before? i mean, he's the boy who keeps notebooks and notebooks about every hero's quirks... |
  |
| Todoroki had some suspicions about Deku's connections to All Might but after finding out that it wasn't the case, he had the courtesy to answer the question thrown at him. Arranged marriages suck and having to deal with that every single day with someone like Endeavor must've been agonizing but pouring hot water all over your son's face because it reminds you of your estranged husband is just insane. Endeavor isn't any better and is arguably worse because the pressure's immense and he treats his entire family like tools too. Who knows what he did to them behind doors. We had some great cheerleader fanservice from the Class A girls thanks to Mineta and Kaminari and they couldn't stop now that they've come all the way out here so they gave their all in the recreation games. Ojiro and the other guy withdrew from advancing to the next round because of their pride preventing them from going on without doing much compared to the others. He went as far as to tell Deku about Shinso's secret ability but he fell for it immediately anyway. He's a first-class trashtalker. |
 |
I really love Shoto. He is one of my favorite characters in this show. I feel sorry for him when he tells his backstory. Shoto: Are you All Might's secret love child? Deku: [WHAAAAAAAAT???] Lol @ Deku's reaction.  Lol @ the scene wherein the Class 1-A girls wear cheerleader outfits. They are tricked into wearing them by Minoru and Denki. HAHAHAHAHA. XD  I can sense that Hitoshi can control people's minds. Certainly, this guy is the reason why Mashirao withdraws from the tournament. Mashirao even warns Deku not to talk to Hitoshi. So it is Deku vs Hitoshi. From the start, Deku is frozen! Hitoshi's quirk is powerful.  |
 |
| unseeded tournament bracket? lol. |
| Whoah, it was surprising to learn Todoroki's backstory. He went through a lot. Damn that Shinso guy. Deku, dekiru!!!! |

LMAO at the phrase "All Might's secret love child," Great, now I'm picturing All Might and Deku's mom doing it. There's a line for the doujin writers out there, as if it hasn't been explored already. |
 |
| Uraraka vs Bakugo is going to be boring af honestly. |
Come on man,where is that Noragami season 3 masterpiece.We want it, Bones! |
| Yay we finally got some backstory for Todoroki! Looking forward to the upcoming fights. |
 |
| I am kinda interested in the quirk of midoriyas opponent |
