Anime New Network gives 'Plus Ultra' grade for the first time! Also 'Masterpiece' by IGN  |
| Well, that was awesome. |
| 5 main aspects I base my ratings on: 1. Did DramaEnthusiast make a thread about it? 2. Is it better than Breaking Bad? 3. Did MellowJello recommend the shit out of it? 4. Has it caused a (very entertaining) shitstorm on MAL? 5. Is it actually good? Scratch the fifth point, it's not very relevant... |
| This episode was absolute batshit insane, one of the best episodes in anime i've seen so far, if not THE best. |
| REVIVE MECHA |
That was simply beautiful. This fight is up there with All Might vs Nobu. |
| i waited for the heat for so long was not disappointed Nakamura's animation makes me nut everytime the end of summer is going to be hype. |
 |
| Worst episode so far lol, only the animation was top notch but the battle made me angry. |
| Oooohhh my god, that was the best episode EVER!!! I almost jumped out of my chair |
  |
| the blood coming from midoriya's third finger, oh lawd. i... look like an emotional wreck. the whole episode i had my hands on my face and i was crying, my tears are dry now. goddamnit the childhood memories, seeing it animated made it so much more real. i had a feeling midoriya would lose based on what i heard from people, but man... what's going to happen to him now? shouto is just so overpowered, even with only using ice. now he has ice and fire. deku's injuries are so much of a setback... it makes me wonder if kohei made midoriya lose purposely because if he did win, he'd probably need much more time to rehabilitate. doesn't seem like a one trip visit to the healing girl. such brutal pain that ya boy deku had to go thru.. |
derprume said: Shouldn't Todoroki also be blasted away... Or are we ignoring physics here. He used his ice as a wall, how many times he almost got blasted away but his ice held him back. |
| The animation was seriously incredible near the end. Nice fleshing out of Todoroki and his family. Interested to see how things play out for both him and Midoriya from now on. 4/5 :D |
| dammit !!!! Midoriya, Izuku is lose but is great figth good i love this show 10/10 |
| I don't care |
Atleastachirra said: I really think Midoriya should have won this match. It just so annoying to see him lose after how much effort he put into this match, while Todoroki just was lucky to be born with his abilities. Still the match hyped me so much, the backstory of Todoroki wasn't interesting to me at all :c Remember what Midoriya said on Season 1 that the world is unfair. A hurtful reality he realized at the age of four. Todoroki was born with an outstanding gift while Midoriya had nothing. On the flip side, Midoriya experienced unconditional love from his mother on which Todoroki didn't. Hardwork alone won't put you on top you know. Some people have everything while some have nothing. Unless you accept that fact then you won't be able to make a step. You'll just end up blaming yourself for every mistake you make. |
Nicz14 said: I don't think Midoriya was holding back on that last blow, it could have easily destroyed the ice that may stop Todoroki from going out of the ring. they were both held back equally , still considering how broken dekus arm was it was still a good smash. I think deku could have won from the start if he used his legs to "teleport" (cuz he is so fast) to todoroki and then use his whole arm for a full punch. Tho im pretty sure todoroku would have died from a clean 100% hit , just imagine if he actually connected his fist with todorokis belly. Its crazy that deku is using melee attacks for long range . |
Nicz14 said: Their interference didn't do anything really, since they were both blast away from the heat explosion pretty easily and how would Deku be able to get behind Todoroki and destroy the ice that was behind him? People are making a lot of excuses for him, but he lost, because he faced a superior opponent. kadiro said: Just my opinion but if the teachers didn't interfere with the match, both of them would be out of the ring. I don't think Midoriya was holding back on that last blow, it could have easily destroyed the ice that may stop Todoroki from going out of the ring.He used his ice as a wall, how many times he almost got blasted away but his ice held him back. |

| Yutaka Nakamura really happend this week xD |
| Fantastic episode. Wish I could convince all my friends to watch MHA, they have no idea what they're missing. |
| Amazing animation. Midoriya used his powers more times in this fight then he has total previously. Felt he should have won. I wonder how it would be different without all those walls cushioning the explosion. |
 |
| The most hyped episode of this year, and maybe for some years to come. Btw, when midoriya and todoroki wnet for the final impact, wouldn't you think that midoriya looked alot like All might? |

Midoriya probably would have won if he hadn't tried to help Todoroki get over his problems with Endeaver during the battle. He pusehd Todorki far enough to get him to use his fire to it's fullest, and thats why he lost. |

Don't you think Todoroki is worth saving? Midoriya may have lost the battle but at that moment, he definitely won a new friend. |

Don't get me wrong, it was absolutely worth losing the match to help Todoroki. Midoriya sacrificed a spot in the tournament and in return gained a friend and saved a life, and I'm really happy that he did. |

| Midoriya.. what a guy. He may have lost the fight but he was able to get Todroki to accept himself and give everything he got. This fight was done amazingly. Anime of the year? At this rate definitely. |
 |
| holy shiet that was amazing . i wonder how deku mom react to this fight . i bet there tsunami going on already . |
| "Mountains, beings, and nature's laws are bound by an arrangement, and within it, we live." -Mushishi Zoku Shou Suzu No Shizuku |
| Less than satisfying end to an already mediocre fight that just happened to have good animation. This show's awful tropes are starting to get tiring. Supposed to be about some kid who has OP god tier powers, and neither he nor any of his friends ever win jack shit. Finally stops crying for an episode and you think things might go well and it just turns into the same shit. Just like how he contributed nothing during the villain attack on the field trip. The fuck is the point of a shounen show when the MC and all of his friends fucking suck ass? That's the polar opposite objective of the genre generally speaking. that 8.7 rating is completely unjustified up to this point. wtf. |

| I read the manga and thought that there wasn't gonna be any need to watch the anime, but holy sht I would've missed out on so much action! That animation was amazing. p.s glad we got to see todoroki realize his true potential + s/o to Midoriyama for being a selfless heroo |
| Guess I should clean my pants now. |
G_Spark233 said: Nah it's definitely AOTY. Not sure if you've noticed this but almost everyone loved this episode. Pffft. 30+ anime every season. Still 2 seasons worth of anime to go this year. First 8 episodes of BnHA season 2 were sub-par at best and this one episode with above average animation somehow justifies the entire show? To make it THE BEST out of an entire calendar year's worth of shows? Stop. That's just ignorant One Punch Man level fanboying at that point, when you cant look at a show with anything but fanboy tunnel vision goggles. |

Sallad4ever said: I bet you the mangaka teared up seeing that final Midoriya and Todoroki confrontation, the music, the animation, the build up to the scene, I'm not Mashima but dang, now this is what I'll call roar of raw emotion. The author did apparently cry over this episode and the person who wrote this is Kouhei Horikoshi. Mashima did Fairy Tail. |

Clearly your the type of person who is incapable of empathising with other people's views. Really, an ignorant way of thinking? How so? Did you read the fucking comments in this thread? Because I what said is hardly overelaborating. Maybe go back and re-read the first 6 pages of comments. Believe something this idiotic? Believe what exactly? The comments are all right there to read. Seeing is believing. There hasn't been an intelligent thought or breakdown put together on this episode. Just a bunch of band-wagoners going bonkers over how pretty it looked. "Clearly your the type of person who is incapable of empathising with other people's views". Hypocrisy at it's finest, since I've got nothing but hate for my opinion on this episode, meanwhile nobody has actually tried to justify why they like this episode so much. Who's ignorant to other's views hm? btw, completely improper use of "empathizing", but I'll let that slide since you're point was still coherent. |
Jonesy974 said: Wow, you must lack the capability of reading, because I see a great amount of comments talking about Todoroki's resolve, Midoriya's potential, Midoriya following the path of a true, the emotional impact Todoroki's flashback had, etc. You do realize that your in the minority, right? You see the episode poll, right? Is it that hard to accept that this anime is simply not for you, as the majority of people are satisfied with what this series is? BnHA is not my AoTS because I already have something that I prefer more than it, but that doesn't stop other people to believe what's right for them. You say the 8.7 score is unjustified, but you do realize that your opinion ≠ popular beliefs, right? You can say that you're not liking it as much as others, but that doesn't mean that the series doesn't deserve the popularity it has.G_Spark233 said: I think this is more you just refusing to accept that other people are capable of thinking on their own and that not everyone believes the same things that you do.

No episode could ever be this popular because of the animation alone.

I agree some of the comments are mostly praising the animation but there are people out there who praised more than just the animation. You're just picking the comments that are convenient to your poor and illogical argument that the only good thing about this episode was the animation which just isn't true by any stretch of the imagination. |

Yes. Yes I absolutely believe that. You would know all about the minority and popular beliefs right? Looking at your top 10, mainstream is all you know. Hypocritical talking about someone's opinion being unpopular when you are the embodiment of mainstream shounen fandom. You're also assuming my thoughts on this season/episode reflect my thoughts on the series as a whole, including the first season...which is far from the case. Not that you would know from just making blanket assumptions. |
