| THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE. ---------------------------------------- Nice episode, I honestly like the thrilling feel of it as the heroes realize the dangers they are in. Poor Kota. The kid is scared as hell until Deku came right on time to make the save. The OP song kinda foreshadowed that he would be the one to fight Muscular though. I have to admit, Muscular is scary when he gets serious. The one on one action between Deku and Muscular is badass~ Dekuuuuuuuuuu, 1000000% smash!  |

Episode 42 this week, "My Hero," adapting Chapters 74 - 76 from Volume 9 of the original source manga. The villains are here! Watch out when facing Dabi Aizawa! Everyone's entering into troubles, but at least they're paired off. Well except Kota! Who has run into the source of his tragedy. Thank goodness Deku arrived in time, like a badass. And showing off that heroic spirit. 1,000,000%? Gotta love it. XD  |

| Great episode but it annoys me that so many anime villains keep liking their lips before fighting why is that a thing it just looks wiered.. |
| Also I really like the music in this season so many nice battle osts so far |
| Holy shit that was intense. DELAWARE DETROIT SMASH!!!!!!!!!! |
for anyone confused about the 1 million thingy here's the author's comment about it  |
 |
| STUDIO BONES ON STEROIDS LADIES AND GENTLEMEN |
 |
| I like how the patterns for each fights can be easily spotted. It's more like formulas in math MC Deku + super MC all might + plot armor and powers = N/a |
 "The universe was made, just to be seen by my eyes." |
| Amazing episode, I've been waiting so long to see this animated and Bones delivered. That scene with Dabi blasting Aizawa was really cool. Kota comes into contact with the villain who killed his parents. :( The League of Villains seem to be after Bakugou, but why? This episode brings out why I really love Deku as a protagonist. There's just something about the way he showcases that pure heroism and self sacrificing spirit that I find so incredibly moving. I really love how during the entire fight even though he's unsure if he can even beat Muscular, he's always trying to make sure he stays strong just for Kota. The scene where's he getting pummeled down by Muscular and he keeps asking to run away was really emotional especially when it seemed that he'd almost accepted his fate. I know I teared up when I read it in the manga and I couldn't stop tearing up when I saw it here. :( ALSO, DELAWARE SMASH!!! The part where Deku pushes himself up and the scene where Delware rips Muscular's muscles, holy shit! Fantastic production for the fight. " It's true they ended up leaving you behind, but there were definitely lives saved because of what happened to them. I'm sure someday you'll meet someone and then you'll understand. Someone who'll risk their life to save you, Someone who'll be 'My Hero' " So much heart in this episode, I love it. <3 I love how they played Koutekishu to Kaite Tomo to Yomu as opposed to You Say Run to make the episode a lot more emotional during the climax of the fight but I won't deny that a small portion of me wanted to see You Say Run played as Deku did the Delaware Smash. I personally thought that it was Deku who was saying the final monologue to Kota and finally screaming "My Hero" when I read it the manga, I guess I was wrong since it's actually Mandalay's words that Kota remembers. Huge Props to Bones for production this episode. I can't really explain how happy I am that they're the ones handling BnHA. PLUS ULTRA! |

| Obviously knew they'd allocate resources here similarly to all the key moments we've had in the story up to this point. Hard to tell where I'd put this episode and fight beyond maybe top 3? Fantastic episode regardless and best adaptation possible. Studio bones doesn't diasapoint! |
 |
| Holy fuckin shit that fight was bad ass. Deku's 1,000,000% Delaware, Detroit Smash floored that guy. |
| The action on this episode was amazing. The feel of danger that the heroes are confronting is intense. Deku vs Musculae was expected as it was showed in the OP. Great fighting with a gorgeous soundtrack that helped to be even better. He animation was spot on. Muscular is a scary villain and strong, such a mad man. Deku almost giving up and Kota helping him was the best moment. Kota having a development was good realising the job of the heroes. Deku's 1.000.000% spirit smash was epic! |
 |
| I GOT GOOSEBUMPS!!! The sense of danger I felt towards the end of that episode had me on the edge of my seat. I kept waiting for All Might or someone else to come help but when Midoriya started pushing up I jumped out of my fucking seat. Fantastic episode. Just epic. |

| Whilst that fight with Deku vs Muscular was super generic and very formulaic, since Bones is GOAT with action anime, they put 1000000% epic heart and soul into this fight, cause even with the generic structure for the fight, IT WAS FUCKING AWESOME! That fight was so goddamn hype material and season 3 has finally delivered an awesome episode. Not perfect, but who fucking cares. That animation was fantastic. |
| Haha Goddamn, boy do I love ya Bones. :) MHA really did get the perfect studio. |
| I used to be a watchmaker. |
| this episode was just fucking fantastic, and the fight was bad ass as fuck. I know the fight was pretty generic, but with the way studio bones handled it, it was a treat to watch. super hyped for the next episode |
  "it's a confession of love, after all." :｡･:*:･ﾟ’★,｡･:*:･ﾟ’ |
| Its been so long for me to get a hype from a shounen anime. Hysterical Strenght + One For All but Hysterical Strenght alone is already broken anyways = Midoriya on this episode. |

| Into the Internet! |
| Ha! Bones really knows the trick how to deliver such epicness from such a generic fight. Really enjoyed the episode and Kota's development here. |
 |
| This episode was perfect. |
 |
| THEY F*CKING NAILED IT !!! That was fantastic !! My expectation were at their hightest and they f*cking delivered !!! Jeez I'm usually calm about these but that was beyond awesome !!! The soundtrack (my god it was unexpected but it fitted perfectly), the animation, the tension, the voiceactors...everything was on point !! People are gonna remember this episode. |
| That was so damn goooooddddddd !!!! Delaware Detroit smashhhhhhh |

| Damn they adapted that fight so well, amazing episode. And the soundtrack once again was really something else, really excited for the rest of this arc. |
 |
| THAT. WAS. AMAZING. |

| Extremely well done adaptation of the Muscular fight. The music was on point for me, the animation was absolutely fantastic and Daiki Yamashita blew it out of the park with his voice acting. Just amazing. And this was just the Muscular fight. I can't wait to see what Studio Bones has in store for what will probably be the most impactful fight of the series. |
 |
| holy shit 1,000,000% One For All is real i thought that was just a wrong translation in the manga lol ah thanks for posting this its just too good to be true lol |
| I've read this arc in the manga and all, but I love it and need more. That was totally awesome. |
| holyshit, this was more intense than the manga version props to Bones studio clap |
| Sweet baby fucking Jesus this episode felt 5 minutes long. I don't care if this fight was generic or if some people feel like it's formulaic shounen stuff, it was absolutely amazing. The voice acting, the OST, the emotion, the animation, everything was on point! I mean, if Bones went all in on this episode, then I can't wait to see the animation (and hear the OST) for the later fight I'm looking forward to. |
| People on MAL refuse to actually enjoy watching anime. Your taste in anime isn't a personality trait. |
| That was just so amazing I cant believe I cried it was just so inspirational I couldnt hold it together!!! |
| Studio Bones has critically damaged my anus I. WAS. NOT. READY. FOR. THIS. GREATNESS!!! |
| THIS WAS AMAZING!! I kept pausing cause I couldn't handle everything at once >.< I didn't expect to be THIS hyped so early in the season, but now my expectations are high! I hope it continues to be so INTENSEEEE!! |
   |
| "A Hero can always break out of a tough spot" all might greatness Bones is just so f'ing clean.. They always deliver its unbelievable.  |

| Brilliant, top-notch episode, this. Studio Bones took it to the next level here with the exhilarating action choreographies, gorgeous ost and mesmerising animation. Coupled with that the emotional impact of the epsiode, 10/10. |

| Woot, I was waiting to see how this would be done. It was done quite well! Now further chaos shall ensue with the rest of the villains and the students! Can't wait to see how that's handled as well! |
 |
| You could say that this was Deku's version of Bell's Minotaur fight. |

| Holy shit, the soundtrack is amazing. It amplified everything to the max. |

| the real 1.000.000% One For All would destroy the entire camp with a single punch, or even more. that's just an emotional battlecry. now I know Dabi powers. I thought it's like a smoke or something, since I read in manga and it doesn't have a color, so I don't know if it's a fire. but it turn out to be a blue fire. damn that's so cool. |
| THEY DID IT THEY ANIMATED THE FIGHT Holy crap that was amazing. My heart was pounding. I screamed at the climax (no pun intended). ONE MILLION PERCENT DETROIT SMASH!!! |

| I was actually expecting You Say Run in this episode but that fight was still great without that. Honestly though, a bit bummed out by the animation in the first half because I thought it was going to be better but the second half of Deku vs Muscular delivered. Man, the visuals! I knew it was going to be 'Plus Ultra' right there and then. Deku is definitely the definition of madman here and Muscular was even more scarier now that he's animated. The fact that lots of raw emotions were pouring out during the fight, even though it was a formulaic Shounen fight as people already said, meant that goosebumps and excitement crashed down on us with full force. The great uses of choreography and shots told a story of risks and heroism in the face of a menacing villain. With battle-ridden injuries, Deku stood out against crisis, protecting a boy in the process. "My Hero" indeed. |
My Anime List < Have a good day! > My Manga List |
| This episode was incredible. I love Deku so much. The bit where he was holding him back and telling Kouta to run. Feeeeels. And then when he believes he's done for and apologizes to his mom and All Might. HOLY CRAP THE FEELS! That was such a good episode. It really makes me want to read the manga, but it probably won't have the same impact. |
