| LMAO that wasn't even a real fight xD |
| So many things in this arc remind me of other series... I can't help but compare Kota to the fisherman's grandson from one of Naruto's early arcs. xD What a great battle, but strangely enough I feel like it would have left a greater impact if they broke it 2-3 episodes. There were so many turning points/comeback moments. But damn, that was so exciting, my heart my pounding! |
| shit like this needs to be addressed in the anime too..... bcz if muscular wasnt literally unraveled and killed by a million percent all for one, that too , not a vaccum inducing or air current punch but an actual fist to the face, all for one looks weak as shit. I actually thought it made deku weaker bcz it feels like he used a 1m% punch in the anime. even if he himself says that muscular countered it, if it was actually 1m% muscular shuldnt have been able to counter it either. so that explanation makes sense. but stuff like this needs to be in the anime too. |
| So, he won using asspull power-up with his broken arm and a splash of water... How is there not a massive outrage about major battle shounen BS going on in this episode's fight? Taito10 said: This series is becoming new Fairy Tail. Fairy Tail at least tried to make up explanations for BS happening (for most of it at least). The BS in this episode reached heights I've rarely seen in battle shounen before - OK, maybe with the exception for Dragon Ball Super, but that anime was an absolute disaster anyhow. |

That wasnt 1mi percent tho, ot was his actual 100 percent which will be explained in a few episodes. Besides, its obviously less than 1mil percent because in that case muscular shouldve been a bunch of pieces in the air It doesn't matter what it was or wasn't. The fact he overpowered an enemy who was completely dominating him for the entire fight with a splash of water and a broken arm is complete and utter BS. Seeing the amount of praise the episode gets is simply baffling to me. Where did all the shounen haters go? Because literally any other shounen pulling even remotely similar BS would get shit on and called trash by the majority of watchers. I'm left wondering why this show gets a free pass. |

Because it was entertaining that's way & he didn't just brute force it, there was a little ingenuity there in opening up his hand, thus creating an immense gust of air pressure that made an opening so he could directly hit the body. Its not that hard to see. |
| I used to be a watchmaker. |
| I think seeing, whatever that water kids name is, try to fight gave midoriya the extra strength he needed to knock the villain out. Like he was able to pull more power out from the one for all. I honestly didn't think it was THAT crazy of a jump in power. It was just for a moment. I'm pretty sure he says that it wasn't enough to stop him, but it was enough to stall while they got away. |
   |
| Best ep so far. This show is really growing on me. 6/5 |
| ~ The world is not beautiful, therefore it is. |
| Monoma is at is again lol he has such an awesome quirk but he turned into the butt of jokes. Poor guy, he's pretty good-looking too and has potential but unfortunately he's just way too fucking salty. I hope he redeems himself later on. Damn what a coincidence that the villain that attacked Kota turned out to be the same guy who killed his parents. That's some Marvel shit right there. LOL at Spinner getting flustered by Mandalay's trick. He may be a villain but he's probably a virgin that has never been with anyone. Gonna be honest, I was kind of tired seeing Deku grtting his ass handed to him by Muscular but he at least got one good punch in using 100% of his power. Then he went and used a fucking million percent and destroyed Muscular. I'm pretty sure he's still alive though. Kota finally showed us his quirk. He's like Squirtle. |
| 臭い- |
| Man... this was crazy |
| Dammit Deku why are you so fucking cool? Anyway, that muscle dude reminds me of the armored titan... I hate the armored titan and he was looking for Bakugo lol to recruit him probably. Bakugo's got all the qualities of a villain, first he's annoying, second he's annoying and lastly guess what he's fucking annoying! Also, that water kid can be very powerful if he can control the speed and pressure of his water spray cause water can cut anything. I think they use it cut diamonds. |
 |
| So, Muscular looking like Bakugo is a red herring? I'm wondering if this was intentional... |
 |
| i wasn't crying during the final parts of this episode what are you talking about |
...At least let me finish.   |
| Damn that was more than intense of an episode! Is that deku's utmost power form? Or is it still untamed? Really impressive and to have a direct connection with that kids parents was quite something! Let's find out what happens next. |
 |
| Whew... that smash gave the same amount of goosebumps as All Might's Plus Ultra. Good stuff! I hope there are more hype inducing fights like this. |
 |
| C'mon that was so gay, 1000000% ? Really ? C'mon |
| So the villains are in action. I was wondering about Aizawa but Dabi attacked him imidiately after Aizawa left the building. I hope he's okay. Dabis ability looks interesting. Blue flames, I hope they will explain it later. Omg what did that villain with the students. There was half of an arm on the ground wtf. And exactly that's the guy Bakugou and Todoroki are facing. He reminds me on Nemesis from Resident Evil. And also all that blood on the stone table. I don't have a good feeling about this. Such irony. Kota is facing the villain who killed his parents. Good thing Deku came in the last second to rescue Kota. But Musculars ability looked interesting but at the same time very dangerous. It's almost the same as Dekus "One for All" by becoming faster and stronger. Poor Deku. First his left arm got broken when he tried to parry a hit and then his right arm suffered when he used 100% "One for All". I really thought it was over, but at the same time I also knew nobody would come to help. And what came after this was just mindblowing. I had almost the same reaction as in season 1 when All Might fought at the end. 1000000%? Omg that's just nuts. Muscular went to sleep after that hit. I don't want to think about Midorias arm at this point..... Overall great episode! |

| It's been a while where I had an interest in a shounen. Amazing battle. |

Your Anime have come to lead you now. Our strength shall serve as a luminous sun toward which all intelligence may blossom. And the impervious shelter beneath which you will prosper. However, for those who refuse our offer and cling to their western animation ways… For you, there will be great wrath. |
| YAAAAAASSSSSSSSSSSSS, BABY!!!!!!!!!!! YOU WERE SO COOL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! MY LITTLE HERO DEKU-KUN ILY TTOTT Got goosebumps all over at his Plus Ultra, aaahhhhh~ <33333333 I think the League of Villains are after Baku bc they might want to make his hot-headed personality into a villain? Not to mention he's strong. Strong and angry make for gr8 villains :3 but I've always liked that contradiction with him wanting to be the best hero tho |
| not the best fight. i know deku had nothing else to do in this situation. he couldn't run and he couldn't lose the fight, but i hate when he had to fuck himself up all over when fighting, it's incredibly cringy. sometimes i think he did have a regeneration quirk because he should have lost his arms a long time ago. |
  |
| And this is why I read the manga AND watch the anime <3 (Manga for the better pacing/consistent art. Anime for the ACTION, color, VAs, and OP/ED.) |
 |
| Kota is so annoying... |
Νεχ ποσσυμ τεχυμ ωιωερε, νεχ σινε τε. |
| While everyone's trying to fight off the villains that have just arrived, Deku ran off to save Kota at the last second right before the kid got pulverized by his parents' murderer. That right hand of his went through hell a million times in that one fight... He already broke it once after he put a 100% into it but doing it again right after and pushing with a power way beyond everything he's ever done while he was getting crushed by Muscular must've turned his bones into powder. If it wasn't for Kota being brave enough to be a hero and fight the bad guy with everything he had, he wouldn't have any hero to look up to for the rest of his life. |
 |
| this shit is so gay |
| That was crazy!!! Loving this show more with each episode. |
| I'm Bruneian and I like anime. And Manchester United. And fat cats. |
| The fight was crazy!!! Super intense!! Great episode! |
 [*]My Completed List [*]♪Listen ► [/list][/left] |
| Decided to rewatch this arc, and it might be even better then I remembered. A shame that after that we had the weakest arc of the series and I could only give a 8/10 for this season. For now, I'm gonna upgrade my score just to show my appreciation for this arc. And I really hope S4 follows this style (focusing on creating extreme tense moments), instead of what happens next arc (pretty much cliche shounen storytelling) |
 |
| This episode is goddamn mediocre and nonsensical lmao. Here he punched and punched stronger without any basis at all. He kinda did just because he must save the kid. Please at least make Deku pay something for everytime he uses his power. |
 |
| I miss the Deku who fought with his head. Whenever GUTZ!!! is the answer, it just feels like the author gave up and took the laziest path he could think of. |

Whenever GUTZ!!! is the answer, it just feels like the author gave up and took the laziest path he could think of. Sometimes you can’t use your head when you’re against someone who is leagues above you. Heck right when the fight started he was knocked around like a rag doll, there was no way he could create a strategy to beat him. |
BlakexEkalb said: One could easily have designed the scenario so that Deku had to think his way out of the problem and use his limited resources in an intelligent manner to protect the kid and defeat or escape from the enemy. He chose a Gutz! resolution instead, and that is what I have a problem with.jacobpaige said: When they're vastly stronger than you is exactly when you should use strategy. Its practically the entire point of strategy. What kind of strategy would he have used against Muscular? He was beaten like a rag doll when the fight started (broken left arm), and then he had to save Kota by blasting him away with a 100% smash. Sure he could’ve saved his 100% for later, but you really think he’d be able to maneuver around Muscular to grab Kota in the first place? Either way, he outclassed Deku when it came to quirk knowledge, battle experience, and the ability to sustain his power without any strain. That’s why the reason why Deku won was Muscular underestimated his strength and Deku was able to burst him down with a powered up 100% while Muscular was in a vulnerable position and distracted. Anyways, Deku already stated how post-100% smash he couldn’t outrun Muscular in the first place, so running isn’t an option and he would lose in a battle of clashing fists. But, if you want the play-by-play of what he could have done differently for the scenario as written then: 1) He could have told people where he was going. He had the opportunity, but chose not to. It wouldn't have made a huge difference, but he seemed to believe otherwise. 2) When he initially jumped in and grabbed the kid, he could have picked him up and immediately started running instead of standing there, waiting for the guy to monologue and attack again. 3) He could have used his martial arts training to fight, which would have resulted in him dodging, parrying or deflecting blows rather than trying to directly block them like an untrained amateur that's never been in a fight before, thus avoiding being smashed about like a rag doll. 4) He could have tricked the guy into charging off the cliff. He seems like the sort that would fall for it, and its not like it would kill him. 5) Like the guy said, the attack from behind was way too obvious. If he'd attacked in a sneakier way, or aimed at destroying the guy's legs, then it might have actually given him the leeway to run away. 6) When he destroyed his own arm, he could have dove off the cliff with the kid and protected him on landing, thus getting a massive head start on running away from the guy while he was still recovering from the 100% blow. 7) For the final hit, I'll refer you once again to #3. Even a little bit of force redirection would have sent the enemy flying into the wall or off the cliff. 8) Alternatively, he could have used his powers indirectly to create clouds of dust and shrapnel to obscure himself and the kid as they ran away, instead of just giving up on fleeing because he wasn't physically stronger than his opponent. So long as he could create enough distance to allow him to stash the kid, his options would have opened up dramatically for dealing with the guy. 9) He could have spent more time training to make use of his limited power in more intelligent ways (mostly by keeping the power active as much as possible and training his martial arts far more often than he ever does), or brought along some form of weapon to help him deal with those who outclass him (stun baton, gas grenades, a staff, etc.). 10) He could have picked up random stones and used them as projectiles to create more options for himself. Though, this would also require him to have trained in throwing stuff, like an intelligent person with his power would have done. |

At this point, you’re just nitpicking every single detail of the fight (which you’ll probably say you’re not but sure whatever floats your boat). |
| the power scaling really doesn't make sense in this stupid show but whatever,the show still has some good openings! |
 |
Well that explains that stupidity of an asspull by deku that was severely poorly written |
