It'll take a while to change the way he treats things and people, especially since hes been like that his entire life. However, he is slowly changing. And if u havent noticed how hes changing little by little (like working together with deku and allowing deku to use and TOUCH something that's HIS, which is a HUGE step for bakugo) then "someone hasn't been paying attention." yes, redemption does take time, and you would think that with these 26 episodes we'd get something, but no. he's been like that his entire life? why? what did midoriya even do to him? all we got is that stupid flashback where he got pissed when midoriya came to help him. see, that's the bullshit. his pride, his superiority complex are just a bunch of crap. and are you telling me he did those things because he's changing? he just wanted to win. you are the one who isn't paying attention. even when he was crying all he ever did was talk about himself. Bakugo in episode one would've rather lost then let Deku help him. Bakugo now is willing to put aside and acknowledge Deku's progress and strength which shows the growth he's had as a person and it only escalate from here. |

Whatever, dood. You clearly are only going to see what you want to see. |
| That was an epic exam with an intense fight between Bakugo, Midoriya shounen versus All might. All might really went out on them and they also gave their best especially Kacchan, he went down fighting. I am glad they won by escaping but that punch from Deku to All was awesome, I will say this episode was the best in all of episodes I have watched in any kind of anime this year. I didn't even pay attention to those league of villains in the end. |

G_Spark233 said: This episode showed once again why Bakugou is such a great character. All Might's power is insane! Poor Midoriya and Bakugou got completely destroyed. I like how All Might noted how Midoriya and Bakugou were keeping building damage low with their big plan. I hope we get a season 3 so we can see more of her.  She does look interesting. Wanna see what she's like. |
| I have to say that the fight was incredible, Deku and Kacchan didn't make a good team until they received a pair of punches, fighting All Might is not that easy, overcome the biggest wall for a hero is a job that only the best can do. Deku, Kacchan, Todoroki and Iida have a lot of potential, expecting an interesting development for them. |
 |
| That was awesome Deku did a good job hitting All Mighto with everything he's got I thought he'll be more reluctant to do it. If he wants to surpass him he should stop idolizing him so much. |
 |
| Bakugo got a little bit better during this episode, but I still can't stand him >_> Especially when he's around Deku. Their fight with All Might was super fun to watch though, loved especially the scene when he punched Bakugo WITH Midoriya, that was epic as fuck xD And they still won, that's impressive! New female villain appears, I feel like she had a cameo last season? She does look... fun. |
  |
| Another brilliant episode, despite Kacchan's unbearable stubbornness it looks like he can change for the better as well. |
| I'm Bruneian and I like anime. And Manchester United. And fat cats. |
| I figured the All Might battle would be a 2-parter. I wonder what the final episode will bring... |
 |

| I would have liked to enjoy this more, but Bakugou the screamer is simply the most obnoxious character in modern fiction. |

| Fucking loved that episode. Something about All Might beating the ever living shit out of Izuku and Bakugou was amazing. Like seriously did not hold back. Damn All might |
 |
| Crazy episode. I always get goosebumps if I see All Might or Midoriya fight. And seeing both of them against each other + Bakugou was the best. I knew Midoriya would have problems with Bakugou. This episode showed perfect how much Bakugou really hates Midoriya and how pride he is. He always wants to win and it seems he thinks Midoriya would interfere him. He doesn't want help, just doing everything on his own. That first punch of All Might was out of this world. But also everything what came afterwards. He's so much faster, so much stronger and that even with his limitation he has. And his eyes are something I haven't seen often in an anime. Good thing Midoriya decided to flee with Bakugou, but the conversation after went off as bad as always. At least Midoriyas words that Bakugou should use him before he gives up seem to help a little bit. Her combination of attacking All Might and running after that was a good idea but it didn't do anything. Imagine, All Might had these super heavy bracelets on and he broke Bakugous gloves as it was nothing. When All Might hit Midoriyas back I thought he broke it in half. That looked so bad. But respect for both Midoriya and Bakugou. Midoriyas face in this scene and his "smash" was such an "omg" moment.  I hope one day they will show All Mights past. I want to see how strong he was before his injury so badly. >.< That ending doesn't promise anything good. 2 new characters who want to join Shigaraki. I can't believe that there's only one episode left. :( Anyway PLUS ULTRA!!!! |

| Fucking amazing episode. Contrasting emotions and personalities and an insight to the pinnacle that is All Might's true power. I can't wait for the third season to put more highlight on Tomura. |
| All Might is so cool that it's almost as blinding as his smile lol. <33333333 I love All Might :') he'd be the #1 villain haha :P Baku getting thrown around and beat up was so satisfying. Esp the part where he threw up at All Might's punch LMAO. He needs some sense beat into him to get past all that ego of his xD at least he cooperated with Deku for a bit >.> wasn't bad at the end when he was fighting against All Might to get Deku to escape. Still don't like Baku that much tho :PPP Deku would make the best hero out of everyone just because he doesn't leave anyone behind. He's like a mini All Might and it's nice ^^ like Gran Torino said, it's just their base personalities that are different, but their sense of justice is the same as well as their reckless rationale during battle |
| I sitill don't know if I find Bakugo potencially interesting or just annoying. He has his moments on both fronts. Anyway it was a nice battle and I'm glad they passed the exam. I loved Deku's smile before punching All Might on the face. |
| Holy fucking shit, bakugo is literally testing my patience. And I would like to know what the bakugo fans are smoking. |
  |
| AWESOME!!! THAT WAS SO COOL!!! 10/10 |

animefan8800 said: And unfortunately he has to do so with Bakugo, imo the douchiest, most obnoxious character in the series. But hey, let's see WHY young Bakugo is such a douche. Oh, what's that? Absolutely no good reason at all? Okay then, sure. Well I did at least get an enormous amount of pleasure from seeing All Might make him spew. That was awesome, we need more of that! :D[/img] Yeah, I know every popular shounen needs to have a Vegeta, but Bakugo is easily my least favorite of all the Vegatas. I think his douche levels are way too over the top, beyond just a harsh rivalry. This guy seriously HATES Deku for trying to help him up one time when he fell down... not a very good explanation for his behavior towards Deku. |
| ~ The world is not beautiful, therefore it is. |
It’s finally Bakugo and Deku’s turn as a team. Jesus Christ, Bakujoe’s temper tantrums and ego is so annoying but his pride is probably all he has. He used to admire All Might, he’s just like Deku but the difference is that he wants to become better than All Might, defeat him and prove he’s number one. While Deku wants to make All Might proud and become as strong as him. I’m glad they were able to work together while still retaining their own personalities: Bakugo’s unending pride, arrogance and great strength and Deku’s inability to let others suffer while letting allowing himself to win. In the end, they both passed. We got to see the blonde-haired villain girl again. I can’t wait to meet more villains in this series. |

owlette said: how do people actually like Bakugo? he's easily one of the worst characters. i really hope he gets better character development because so far he's been like "get out of my way! i am so cool and strong and no one else matters!" for no reason whatsoever, like i get it he hates Deku and is his rival or whatever but wtf. like this episode is the first time he slightly cooperated with Deku and still BARELY. the only good feature he has is that he's strong, that's literally it DepravedMagi said: Holy fucking shit, bakugo is literally testing my patience. And I would like to know what the bakugo fans are smoking. this and this. I don't see the appeal whatsoever atm. so until I see some more development he is just unlikable. hell, for me he is almost irredeemable for straight up punching someone who simply wanted to help him. like wtf |
 |
| I'm surprised people hate on Bakugo so much. It shows the difference in western vs. Japanese audience, I guess. That aside, this was my favourite fight so far. 2 of my favourite characters against the strongest character. I really liked the scene where Midoriya punched Bakugo, I didn't expect that. And I also like the change in Bakugo already, I can't wait to see more of him. I loved every single scene of this fight. From Midoriya and Bakugo struggle to them passing the exam. They have a huge potential as a team and I really hope that when they grow up, they will become a duo of heroes. |

| Why would All Might be that careless about destroying a city? Katsuki needs to follow the rules, he's supposed to team up with Izuku and he's not being a good sport. Why does that guy always got something bad to say about people? Did somebody hurt him? I feel like something traumatic has happened in this guy's past and I really want to know about it and why he's the way he is. OMG, All Might made Katsuki throw up just like his elderly mentor did to him! All Might is really learning from his mentor! Yes, Izuku, punch Katsuki! He deserves that punch for being such a jerk to you and giving up the battle. Lol at Izuku jumping like a bunny after that. Lol Recovery Girl's scolding All Might like a Grandma but I think he deserved that because he was being too carelessly bold with them. |

| Blonde girl at the end... I don't know but she seems crazy... like Harley or Junko crazy... hopefully she shows up more in the next season. |
 |
| Well that as probably one of the worst episode of BnHA for me, which means it was still at least average. Probably because I hate Bakugo and Deku is too much like the usual protagonist. |
| was i the only one screaming WHERE ARE THE DAMN HANDCUFFS? the whole fight? all mighty grabbed both of them more than once and have openings for them to use them. i know the fight wouldn't have been nearly as epic if they did use it and passed the test but well, it seems everyone forgot they had that resource to win anyway. i like bakugou. people keep saying he could be a perfect villain, but there it is, he isn't and doesn't want to be one. everyone expects him to go to the dark side, but he wants to be the best of heroes and he's actually good. bakugou is smart, has good combat skills and is really strong and well acquainted to his quirk but his biggest enemy is himself. i actually like that he is not afraid of not speaking his kind, even when he is wrong or unreasonable. he's gotta a problem with pride, ego and is very insecure but if he didn't he wouldn't have room to grow. people like deku and his determination but you know, they're very alike in their objectives, deku is just more likable because he's easier to deal with. i don't know if it's because i know actual people that are a bit like bakugou, explosive, aggressive and full of pride, but they have hearts of gold and are people that i do love very much, and me - i'm a lot like deku, much more than bakugou - would've liked to be more like him, but i do like bakugou as a character a lot. and i think that's what deku sees in him too, he admires the confidence, the part he lacks and the guy has, even if it's a little bit too much. |

| All Might really did feel like a villain in here. He's definitely holding back on them but it still looks like he has absolutely no mercy against them even if they're both his students because he places that much trust into their power and potential. They're dysfunctional together almost all the time but once they both realize that there's no other way forward alone, their polar opposite thinking merge together to think of an ingeniously clever strategy. That grenade gauntlet to the face has gotta hurt! Bakugo could've used Deku waddling towards the gate with a broken back as a distraction to go the exit first but he continued diverting All Might's attention from him with all he got. Forcing himself to use his ultimate move consecutive times had him picking up a move from Deku's deck for a change. In the end Izuku couldnt just leave him behind so he gave All Might a really good punch and went through the escape gate together as comrades. Looks like the League of Villains have new recruits. |
 |
| They're both so effing stupid. Finally I get to see worst girl in season 3, I hope she takes Deku away from Uraraka for good and cements a nasty relationship (going off of what spoilers I've seen for season 3, ignorant of course). |
| All Might didn't hold back huh. But damn that Bakugo, I didn't like it when he hit Deku twice. I'm not really a fan of his violence but oh well, the two still work out to pass the exam in the end. So we were able to see the new members of League of Villains? |

| I saw a miracle! I couldn't believe my eyes when Bakugou cooperated with Deku as a team. Bakugou's stubborness is so annoying and his anger scares me like hell ._." Holly Hell! That's some massive force All Might made oAo" He must have made the students terrified. He showed no mercy! Great episode! |
 [*]My Completed List [*]♪Listen ► [/list][/left] |
"...they both have so many different feelings about each other piled up one on top of the other that they don't know how to interact anymore."  |
 |
| This was a powerful episode further prodding along our two main protagonists' rivalry relationship. You'd feel it too even if you haven't read the source material. That said, Katsuki (whose name, lest we forget, means "winning self"), despite his mainly egotistical rants, is showing decent slivers of putting his smarts to good use against an all-powerful hero-enemy he's idolized for so long. It's just good that - even slightly and reluctantly - he's willing to listen a bit more to Deku now. |
 |
| Love this fight.So many emotions. |
Come on man,where is that Noragami season 3 masterpiece.We want it, Bones! |
| AHHHH!!!!!!!!!! That scene was so beautiful in soo many way!!! Deku turning around to go save Bakugo, Bakugo finally working alongside Deku, The epic music and that Smash! So many good things all in one scene to make me start tearing up with a huge grin on my face. These are the scenes that make MHA so amazing. I absolutely love every scene where the music hightens and Deku uses a smash. They're so exciting and get my blood pumping. OST is amazing as usual. When Bakugo was pinned down it was a bit sad to see. Honestly dont rememeber this episode being this good but re-watching it its amazing. |
| Yuritopia FTW!!!!!!!!! BANZAI TO YURI !!!!!!!!!!!! |
Upon rewatching this (because I watched this last year), I am amazed how Deku and Bakugo are able to pass the exam in the end despite being overpowered by All Might. |
 |
| It looked totally impossible at first. Even with those heavy bands All-might was enough to defeat them both. However he was totally in character there. He sure taught them but looked like a villain. But finally Bakugo understood he can't win alone and defeat All-might head on. This time he made a plan instead of Deku. It was wise for Aizawa to keep these two in a team. Together they are amazingly powerful. If they had proper communication then they could have capture All-might. But they really had tough time. Deku's punches were amazing though. Good thing is they won. |
| All Might was BRUTAL in that fight, he taught them a proper lesson. I still think Deku is a b*tch. I mean, how many times does someone have to tell you they don't want to talk to you before you finally shut up? Sounds like Deku either has a big ego or hit his head too hard to understand basic concepts like that. |
| I am not a weeb, I simply enjoy 2D girls |
| Yeah Deku you better go save Kacchan. That guy literally risked his ass to save you. If Deku actually ran to the gate alone I would've punched my computer screen. |
