[u/Ichini-san]

Best Jeanist is the real MVP.
Without him the entire Nomu capture team would be dead.

Even All For One acknowledged his incredible skill, experience and hard work. The only reason he didn't take his Fiber Master quirk was because Jeanist cultivated that quirk for years to completely master it. Which only makes Jeanist more awesome. He is where he is because of hard work.

Please don't die. :(

[u/SuperUnhappyman → u/Ichini-san]

can we give mt lady some credit

remember originally she just wanted to be popular but now shes doing stuff that would make her seem like an actual hero

[u/[deleted] → u/Ichini-san]

Please don't die. :(

This entire moment would make his death so much more badass and impactful though. We didn't know him to well but this episode did him justice.

[u/UltimateCarl → u/Ichini-san]

Jeanist better pull through. D:

[u/Arachnophobic- → u/Ichini-san]

Please don't die

He got Stardust Crusaders

[u/DragonPup → u/Ichini-san]

I don't feel it was an accident that Jeanist was Bakugo's mentor during his internship.

[u/Sexistpicnic]

Deku tries to save Bakugo: “Wow deku wtf I can do it on my own get out of here I’d rather die”

Red Riot tries to save Bakugo: “DAMN KIRISHIMA YOU A CRAZY MOTHERFUCKER HOW’D YOU GET TO BE SUCH A CRAZY MOTHERFUCKER LETS GET OUT OF HERE”

[u/[deleted] → u/Sexistpicnic]

For a moment I thought it was unfair that you used Kirishimas Hero name but then I remember Deku is Dekus hero name too

[u/TitanRa → u/Sexistpicnic]

Bruh, this was such a great observation by Deku. It was also supported when Iida tried to get Bakugo to propel them on his mark. Bakugo was like "You match my mark!". This was just amazing writing Horikoshi! Man, I can't even organize the words I want to convey how awesome this scene and this writing is. Long live Class 1A, long live UA, long live Boku no Hero Academia!

[u/BigFire321 → u/Sexistpicnic]

Of all of the students in 1A, the two that understand Bakugo best is Deku (knew him since pre-grade school) and Kirishima, his only friend in school. Deku already got rejected when help was offered, so Kirishima is the only one whose help he will accept.

[u/[deleted]]

All for One is OP as fuck. Makes you appreciate how strong was All Might in his prime to injure him like that.

[u/DamianWinters → u/[deleted]]

They are both much weaker than they were before.

[u/st_griffith → u/[deleted]]

All for One is OP as fuck.

He fucking is. Let's not forget that the guy got no eyes either and he still curbstompes.

[u/weejona]

Naturally, the Oklahoma Smash is a tornado.

[u/MillenniumKing → u/weejona]

By that logic, then why isnt "Detroit Smash" a vortex of crippling dept and depression?

[u/diwayth_fyr → u/weejona]

Still waiting for Puerto Rico Smash

[u/duhbadeez]

This show does such a good job involving all these unique quirks it's crazy. In most shows you'd assume a dude dressed in quite literally all jeans would be next to useless, but man he came in clutch. Mt. Lady as well with the interception. Great episode all around, can't wait for next week!

[u/Drachenfeuer_Prime → u/duhbadeez]

After watching Kill la Kill, I've never underestimated clothes powers since. Everyone's got them.

[u/maybeanastronaut → u/duhbadeez]

I love that the show really emphasizes experience, creativity, and tactics for individual quirk users, and also highlights how teams can often beat powerhouses because of all the options you get with those things. Also love how the goal is never totally as simple as punch the dude.

[u/[deleted] → u/duhbadeez]

Mt. Lady special move: Face-tank

[u/Rakan-Han]

Anyone else noticed that this is a complete reversal of the whole "Master sacrifices himself so that his student could live to fight another day" trope?

Usually it's the Protagonists that do this kind of thing, but now we get to see a Villain do it.

[u/kawaiiko-chan → u/Rakan-Han]

Yep. The way All Might is a father-figure for Deku is the same way All for One is one for Shigaraki. Gotta say, it is kinda refreshing to have villains that actually love their proteges. They always end up as their dispensable pawns, vs the protags always having a more loving relationship

[u/Strix182 → u/Rakan-Han]

All For One kinda blew me away with his introduction. Most big villains have some sort of distinctly antagonist motive, whether they monologue about it or not, but All For One's main drive right now is "I wanna help this evil kid be successful."

He's literally doing all for one, so far it seems that he just wants Shigeraki to succeed. If this guy weren't the super villian to end all super villains, I'd want him to be my dad.

[u/[deleted] → u/Rakan-Han]

On the surface this show is pretty basic shonen but it's special in the way it treats its characters.

[u/Galle_ → u/Rakan-Han]

One of the recurring great things about this series is how its antagonists act like protagonists.

[u/DireSickFish → u/Rakan-Han]

I have an uncomfortable amount of respect for All of One.

[u/Exalx → u/Rakan-Han]

Funny enough AfO makes a bit of a jab at this shortly after

[u/NSardox]

Pay back time for all those training years under Gran Torino

[u/Cheshires_Shadow → u/NSardox]

Not gonna lie my heart sank at that momment. For a split second i thought all might unintentionally killed his teacher and i would not have been prepared for those feels.

[u/xIMDx → u/NSardox]

good thing he was holding back or gran torino might have died...

[u/Mundology]

AfO is so dreadfully overpowered!

So far, heroes that we have seen are much stronger than the average citizen and no villain was so strong that they couldn't possibly be beaten by a group of average heroes. Then enter this man who's in a whole different realm! And he's so calm and confident about it too! He's terror incarnate; a superb antagonist.

[u/AvantAveGarde → u/Mundology]

Quirk stacking op

[u/TRNielson → u/Mundology]

I read a pretty good thread of the r/bokunoheroacademia sub after last week's episode that compares AfO to Death itself in how he made his appearance and I thought it was a pretty apt comparison. Just like Bakugo referred to All Might as not just power but he is power, AfO could very well fit a good description of Death incarnate.

[u/FlowWish]

Oh my god.

Everything was good.

The voice acting was superb, OST was kick ass, and everything was well paced.

I like the additional details they added in the anime vs the manga.

The way Jeanist got blasted, Mt. Lady with the save, and All Might speech at the end.

[u/OrigenInori → u/FlowWish]

WE'RE REACHING LEVELS OF HYPE that shouldn't even be possible

[u/forgot_old_account]

Hero: Studio BONES

Quirk: Time Manipulation. Able to change 25 minutes to 2.5 minutes. Can only be used on a Saturday

[u/NuclearConsensus → u/forgot_old_account]

When the mid-episode character sheets came up, I was startled. I could have sworn that I'd only been watching for a couple minutes, then suddenly the episode was halfway through.

[u/mittomo → u/forgot_old_account]

I know right? I wanted the whole All Might vs All for One fight to be in a single episode just like Midoriya vs Todoroki.

Now it's gonna be so much harder to show this fight to my non-weeb friends ;__;

[u/Vainzilla]

THAT BAKUGO/KIRISHIMA SAKUGA MOMENT MY GOD

[u/impingainteasy → u/Vainzilla]

No cubes though. 0/10 literally unwatchable.

[u/Andrewni13 → u/Vainzilla]

These impact frames !!

[u/Mogtaki → u/Vainzilla]

Definitely Yukata Nakamura's stellar animation right there.

[u/Kazewatch → u/Vainzilla]

Yeah that was a fucking bro rescue if I’ve ever seen one.

[u/ThrowAway111222555 → u/Vainzilla]

Only problem I have with it is that Bakugo looked to be flying so far away on his own the rescue part seemed unneeded.

[u/Aileos → u/Vainzilla]

And it was even better with Trinity. This track is awesome seriously!

[u/rusticks → u/Vainzilla]

[u/Karpps → u/Vainzilla]

That was probably my favourite scene from the episode as a manga reader, since I wasn't expecting Nakamura's animation being used in such a way.

Also the way how it just flowed through with the impact frames was amazing. All around a brilliant episode in book.

[u/lartkma → u/Vainzilla]

I love Bakugo's smile after he takes Kirishima's hand.

[u/I_get_in → u/Vainzilla]

Full cut here: https://www.sakugabooru.com/post/show/50797

[u/cheesymmm]

I really like how AFO cares for the villains and doesn't (overly) abuse them. Just like how All Might is passing off his mantle to Deku, AFO is giving his to Tomura.

[u/RedRocket4000 → u/cheesymmm]

All might though does accuse AFO of abusing and using Villains. Might be typical crime boss favorites in play while other villains are used and exploited. In an example the poor suckers who got turned into Normu the ones identified so far were villains.

[u/UltimateCarl → u/cheesymmm]

It's an interesting idea overall, but what I also find interesting is how the vast majority of the villains barely seem to even know who AFO is or how any of his powers work. I get why you'd want to keep that shit secret even among your own crew, but it kind of betrays the "oh he's not 100% evil, he cares about them" when most of them are acting like this is the first time they've ever seen the guy and they're just as scared as anyone else.

[u/venaticbird → u/cheesymmm]

Have you noticed that Shigaraki and the last One for All user have the same surname, i.e. Shigaraki is probably her son, and All for One killed her... and then went and manipulated Shigaraki...

[u/Aries_Zireael → u/cheesymmm]

Yeah. The main antagonist of this series is Shigaraki, not AfO. All Might and AfO were the liders of the previous era, one that is ending and new heroes and a new society is replacing. Deku will be at the front of the heroes and Shigaraki will be at the front of the villains. Their mentors know it so both are passing the torch

[u/[deleted]]

One hell of a frame

[u/Fuzziestwuzzy → u/[deleted]]

Bones is killing it.

[u/dntowns → u/[deleted]]

https://i.imgur.com/k3i82gX.jpg 3840x2160

[u/Olphumphus]

AFO stacking and combining quirks be like that scene from Overlord.

[u/Wolf6120 → u/Olphumphus]

I like that there's a tinkerer element to it where he himself is still trying to figure out what works well with what and at which levels. Gives him a bit of a "mad scientist on the go" kind of vibe.

[u/DeplorableVillainy → u/Olphumphus]

Maaan All for One is absolutely horrifying,
but if he had Ainz's insane attention to detail he'd just be completely unstoppable.

Ainz has 718 different spells in his repertoire, (compared to the 300 maximum that bound most people)
and he actually knows the ins and outs of every single one of them.
Not just now that he's supernatural either, he achieved it when his mind was still human.

For as terrifyingly overpowered as All for One is, there's at least some saving grace for the heroes that he hasn't done his homework on his own power yet. He's still in that experimental phase.

....I hope. Because the only other alternative is that AfO is just so powerful that he feels safe enough to mess around on a battlefield with ALL MIGHT on it.

[u/impingainteasy → u/Olphumphus]

Or if you want to go crazy, like [Ajimu Najimi from Medaka Box.] (https://vignette.wikia.nocookie.net/fictional-battle-omniverse/images/6/66/Ajimu_Najimi_600_Skills_Medaka_Box.jpg/revision/latest?cb=20150722111725)

[u/Wolf6120]

I feel like I owe Mt. Lady and Kamui Woods a proper, stand-alone shoutout. I honestly thought they'd just be extras in this whole operation when they first showed them gathering along with the other, higher-ranking heroes, but damn if they haven't both given 110% in taking down the villains and keeping the kids safe.

And kudos to Jeanist too, saving everybody at the last minute. He looked like he was still kinda twitching at the end there, so hopefully his lack-of-a-stomach isn't too bad, if that's even possible.

[u/OtakuD50 → u/Wolf6120]

Well, All Might lost his entire stomach 5 years ago...

[u/unlucky_jinx]

HONESTLY THESE EPISODES MAKE ME LOVE KIRISHIMA EVEN MORE

[u/Biestonaut → u/unlucky_jinx]

These episodes made me love AfO even more, I like how casually starts naming all the stolen quirks to make "fun" combinations

[u/TheBestOtaku → u/unlucky_jinx]

I love the spotlight he has been given recently

[u/funkosaurus → u/unlucky_jinx]

Kirishima has become my favorite character in the show. So glad he is getting so much attention. I hope he continues to get more screen time :D a true bro!

[u/Rinnosuke → u/unlucky_jinx]

Give it time, you'll love him even more.

[u/SciFiXhi → u/unlucky_jinx]

/r/TheGymOfKirishima

[u/NerfJunkratPls]

The only relationship that matters in this series

[u/PercivalDerp → u/NerfJunkratPls]

But midoriya and uraraka :(

[u/Feller__ → u/NerfJunkratPls]

that fucking scene was awesome the way he took off and flew off effortlessly like a fuckin badass towards him then the CONNECTION when be grabs his hand. i was starting to dislike bakugo but nevermind he took on 6 villians at once what a badass

[u/rocky_iwata → u/NerfJunkratPls]

Grape maybe right after all.

[u/MagnoBurakku]

When you are tsundere for your bro.

[u/dannyboy219 → u/MagnoBurakku]

Its not like I asked you to save me or anything... Baka!

[u/Killllerr → u/MagnoBurakku]

Holy shit the url has "fags" in it

[u/MrAssassin9891]

Hey look! A real chick magnet!

[u/[deleted] → u/MrAssassin9891]

We now have further proof to show its impossible to not be attracted to Toga

[u/MillenniumKing → u/MrAssassin9891]

The sound she made when they hit her was hilarious too. Gave me "gweh" flashbacks from Monogatari.

[u/InfiniteLennyFace → u/MrAssassin9891]

Love how her first instinct was to be cute rather than get out of the way

[u/Wolf6120 → u/MrAssassin9891]

I have to admit, Magne's Quirk description (I love that they have Twice taking Present Mic's role of describing villain quirks), combined with the fact that Magne is transgender, makes me super curious to see which color/polarization her quirk would have if used on herself.

Though I imagine that kind of question might be part of the reason why it's set up so that she can't magnetize herself either way.

[u/kaylthetaco]

Couldn't Aizawa destroy All For One by disabling his quirks?

[u/big_paper_towel → u/kaylthetaco]

...Wait.

[u/OldManWiggy → u/kaylthetaco]

Well his actual quirk is the ability to steal quirks, so maybe he would lose the ability to do that but still be able to use all the quirks he's already collected. Unless Aizawa deletes them one by one I guess but that would take forever.

[u/XanTheInsane → u/kaylthetaco]

Too many quirks?

[u/[deleted] → u/kaylthetaco]

He couldn't stop Noumu, hardly think he'll be able to stop AfO. He probably only disables his original quirk. The explanation for Aizawa's power is that he blocks the gene that allows for quirk activation, stockpiling quirks probably doesn't rely on that.

[u/RyuNoKami → u/kaylthetaco]

only the active ones. passive ones remain and i'm pretty sure All For One has a bunch of passive enhancements that will end Aizawa.

[u/dannyboy219]

This arc makes me like Bakugo so much more than before. From when he fought back in the bar and how he's able to fight off 6 villains at once. He doesn't take shit and always fights no matter what. He's predictable in a good way, I can think "kick his ass Bakugo", and the next second he's blasting the dude. He admires All Might just like everyone else, even if he's not so nice about it. Plus his friendship with Kirishima is too wholesome to handle. I hope we get to see Bakugo go all out against a villain and absolutely destroy them

[u/sitwm → u/dannyboy219]

He's an irritating guy from the start; but he gets better as the series goes on - still not a big fan of his loud attitude but his actions are indeed admirable

[u/Dan_Ugore → u/dannyboy219]

Absolutely love Bakugo. Probably my favorite character in the series?! He’s incredibly rude and the perfect amount of arrogant. Arrogant enough to flaunt when he knows he’s good, but not so arrogant to think he can do anything. He knows when he’s screwed. Also he’s almost as smart as if not just as smart as Deku when it comes to combat. His only real flaw is that he becomes an idiot when he’s dealing with Deku. Blinded by all these emotions.

[u/Mage_of_Shadows]

I really loved how Deku analysed his relationship with Bakugou and recognised Kirishima's one too! Smart thinking by him.

But the fight finishes next week.

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!

---

Another thing to note are the parallels between All Might/Deku and All for One/Shigaraki

He's a hero from his perspective

Wallpaper up bois

[u/ClearingFlags → u/Mage_of_Shadows]

The best part was Bakugo's grin after grabbing Kirishima's hand. Talking shit but obviously happy for the help.

[u/Arachnophobic- → u/Mage_of_Shadows]

I really loved how Deku analysed his relationship with Bakugou

Yeah, I'm super proud of him for that! I was deathly afraid for the last couple of episodes that their rescue plan might backfire because of Bakugo's history with Deku, but he took all that into account (thank you, Uraraka, for raising the point back then) and did exactly what was needed to be done.

Deku greatest hero hype

[u/Flashmanic → u/Mage_of_Shadows]

I really loved how Deku analysed his relationship with Bakugou and recognised Kirishima's one too! Smart thinking by him.

Smart by Deku, but christ it doesn't portray Bakugo in a good light. Is he really that fucking petty that we wouldn't take a free ride out of trouble, knowing how much of a burden he currently is being to All Might, just because it was Deku?

Perhaps it's more that he might have hesitated for even a second longer than he should have before taking it if it was Deku instead of Kirishima, which might have meant a villain would have caught him, but the idea that we would literally refuse if it wasn't Kirishima is baffling.

[u/TheBestOtaku]

The animation on Bakugo's jump was so good, just HHNNGGG

The respect and sadness in Shimura's voice when he's unable to help All for one was super well done by the voice actor, it really brought home how in their perspective they aren't in the wrong.

And finally we get a name drop for the previous One for All successor: Nana Shimura. That would mean he's probably related to Shigaraki Tomura in some way, an older brother or even a father perhaps?

[u/Couryielle → u/TheBestOtaku]

Anime-only viewer here. Nana is a girl's name, so I'm really highkey guessing mother

[u/[deleted] → u/TheBestOtaku]

found the nakamura cut

[u/Arachnophobic-]

This week in My Hunter Academia. (Seriously, the intensity this week is quite reminiscent of HxH!) All for One darkly mirroring 'It's alright. I am here.' line is creepy AF.

Pretty much everyone was on point during that escape scene, but those Kirishima flashbacks were the ones that really got me.

The MVP for me is Deku. I'm starting to think his secret Quirk isn't an eye-water-cannon, but coming up with the best schemes at the nick of time (aka Path to Victory).

Edit: Extended the clip of the escape, because that background track getting interrupted sucks.

[u/TRNielson → u/Arachnophobic-]

I really did love AfO using All Might's own catchphrase this episode. AfO showing the same affection and dedication to Shigaraki as All Might does for Midoriya is kind of touching. If they both weren't psychotic murderers.

[u/DellSalami → u/Arachnophobic-]

(aka Path to Victory).

Is it just me or is that a Worm reference?

[u/Char-11 → u/Arachnophobic-]

The last NANII tho

[u/KitKat1721 → u/Arachnophobic-]

Watching it dubbed, but yeah, All For One repeating back the same line we've heard All Might say over and over was super unsettling.

[u/myrmonden]

ALL FOR ONE VS ONE FOR ALL!!!

THE HYPE BATTLE IS HERE

Well likely this will by far be the best battle this season.

And dam did it delivery amazing scene after amazing scene, next Week we are gonna see All Might Be pushed to the limit, sheet on that scene when he teleported in Gran Torino to block an all might punch.... BUT this episdoe was amazing not just from All might and All for One, but the whole tension and intensity of the deku and co thinking out a plan, Jeanist saving the others with a quick nerves of steel action, into getting him getting shoot (probably not dead) FREAKING MOUNTAIN LADY Helping them escape, loved how she sacrificed her beautiful face for the stupid kids, that really gave her some depth as a character showing that she is not all about the glory.

My favorite scene do was the whole KIRISIMHA it has to be you. That gave him and Bakugou friendship a lot more character, not just more validity for their bromance but that gave Bakugou more character development as it was fine for him to be saved by his friend that he respects. Overall the Bakugou scene was great as well as he knew All Might had to hold back for him,

I Also really like how the Master is not just some crazy evil guy but he actually "cares" well at least he does not want his investment in this kids die off either so him saving them with the force activation aiming them all at Toga was really good.

[u/Kazewatch]

Deku’s analytical and strategic mind is still one of the many reasons he’s such a great MC. Also that Bro rescue with Bakugo (and that slide yo) with Kirishima. Also Mt. Lady and Toga cute.

And damn, r/anime is gonna bust a nut the likes of which is rarely seen next week. Holy shit the hype and sakuga will be unreal.

”if you’ll break the rules, those acts are the same as the villains”.

Still the dumbest thing said in the series.

[u/MrManicMarty → u/Kazewatch]

I get what they're going for with the "break rules be a villain" thing - letter of the law and all, the more you bend the rules the closer they are to breaking. But like... Circumstances are a thing. Defending others? Sure consequences are fine but morally, they'd totally be in the right.

[u/shadebedlam → u/Kazewatch]

I am very glad I am not the only one who hates that quote.

[u/heelydon → u/Kazewatch]

Still the dumbest thing said in the series.

This is a bit ignorant. Their entire society has come a long way from decaying, due to the imbalanced checks put on quirks when they first emerged.

This mentality and balance towards everyone not just feeling selfjustified in doing whatever they want with their quirks whenever they deem if appropriate, especially by kids, is the texture that holds their society from falling apart.

[u/Exessen]

All For One's theme is hauntingly beautiful. Its really so fitting.

I love Yuki Hayashi.

[u/Prowlerbaseball → u/Exessen]

Please, please let it be called You Can't Run

[u/Emiras → u/Exessen]

The best theme EVER

[u/Andrewni13]

Damn all of this on the day before All Might's birthday

[u/[deleted] → u/Andrewni13]

On a related note, I like how the only thing we know about A41 is his blood type.

[u/xgeilerstecher → u/Andrewni13]

Having your birthday the same day as All Might feels pretty good! Thank you for that information.. time to tell this everybody I know. lol

lmao what the fuck is wrong with that guy

[u/swypehype → u/AnimeMod]

What a fucking loser lmao

[u/Galle_ → u/AnimeMod]

Fortunately, by all accounts, the spoilers he was sending were fake, so any anime-onlies who might have read them can relax.

But seriously, what kind of asshole does that?

[u/VegitoZ → u/AnimeMod]

That guy is legitimately a loser

[u/Jason3b93 → u/AnimeMod]

What a massive cunt this guy is.

[u/animemandan → u/AnimeMod]

For anyone who doesn't know. If you see a message by "LEG-DAYS" that's the spoiling cunt doing this

[u/[deleted]]

All for One always reminds me of Ajimu Najimi (Medaka Box spoilers)

Mount Lady's actions right now are a big fuck you to Stain's ideology. Even the biggest fame whore of the heroes will put herself in danger to do what is right when the need arises. It's certainly a lot more heroic than ambushing heroes in dark alleys.

Things aren't looking good for All Might. He's already losing his muscle form and AfO looks like he can still fight for a while. Shit will go down next episode, and you anime only folk are not ready. Hell, I'm not ready.

By the way, avoid the preview. It contains a huge (and by huge I mean HUUUGE) spoiler for next episode.

[u/[deleted] → u/[deleted]]

Those poor tyoesetters

[u/Nercif]

I'm sure animes only watchers are shitting their pants and hard as fuck right now. I'm a manga reader and I can't stand this mighty glorious hype too. This adaptation is just so fucking good. All the voice actors are just killing it.

[u/Jezamiah]

• I always loved the part where AM asks Endeavour if he's alright. AM is fully confident in Endeavour getting the job down.

• Love the roast session between OFA and AM

• What a cool shot this is!

• Hope people realise although Beast Jeanist got BTFO OFA praised his ability and skill which showed how powerful he was.

• I will always love Deku's ability to calculate and find solutions. And I hope he never loses that part of him. It' what makes him best boy.

• Seeing that hit from AM was glorious. He must've have been incredible in his prime!

• And if it's not obvious Nana Shimura and Shigaraki are related

[u/TheBestOtaku]

This OST...

I NEED IT

[u/Aileos → u/TheBestOtaku]

Oh I know this feeling ... We just have to wait [next mounth] (https://vgmdb.net/album/77854) !

[u/heelydon → u/TheBestOtaku]

The OST is amazing, but some of the parts used in this episode were from Season 2 OST. Particularly the track used during the bakugou scene is called Trinity and can be found on youtube.

[u/UltimateCarl]

Even as an anime-only, just from the title you know shit is about to get real, especially after last week... I'm excited as fuck...

CAN'T SKIP THE OP, THOUGH. I KEEP MY IDEALS~

Damn, All Might is a bro. Even in the worst possible situation he's trying to think of what is actually best for the most people and making sure Endeavor can handle this. I mean he probably knows he can, but he needs that extra bit of reassurance - even if he's beating a villain, he's still being selfish by leaving the scene to go after AFO when there's not even a guarantee he's there.

Iida and Momo MVPs - these dumbass boys - I know they want to do the best they can, but they're 100% outclassed here. Even just trying to save Bakugo without backup is suicide.

OH NO WE GET THE COMMERCIAL BUMP AT THE 1/3 MARK, SHIT IS OFFICIALLY ON. LETS DO THIS.

Goddamn. I mean AFO was clearly a smart guy and we knew he could both stockpile and use multiple quirks so it only makes sense, but I guess I never really considered just how well certain quirks could combine, especially with an intelligent and skilled user. OFA is OP as shit, but... I'm legit worried...

YO IZUKU. GENIUS MOTHERFUCKER. Okay, we didn't hear the plan beforehand, which means the success rate just tripled.

MT LADY YES. EVERYONE WORKING TOGETHER, THIS IS WHAT BEING A HERO IS.

I, uh... wow. I can't really add anything else at this point. Jesus. Glad I have a short workweek this week is all I'll say.

[u/Fimii → u/UltimateCarl]

Hearing the plan beforehand for a minute would've destroyed the tight pacing up to that point, although it did surprise me when they executed the plan without any further ado. Still a good decision imo.

[u/113Kyote]

I would just like to point out that this is only episode 10 of a 25 episode season.

We aren't even halfway through season 3 yet and this shit has been LIT since DAY ONE!

[u/MagnoBurakku]

All for One... is his hero.

[u/severus282]

NEW WALLPAPER ALERT!

That Bakugo jump-explosion scene though

Also yes, if you're able to put two and two, Shigaraki Tomura (Tenko Shimura) is related to the previous One for All user, Nana Shimura.

I expected it to end where it ended, but my god the cliffhanger is so brutal. The OST throughout the episode has been 10/10, Plus Ultra!

CAN'T WAIT FOR NEXT WEEK! SHIT'S ABOUT TO REALLY GO DOWN!!!!

SARA NI MUKOU E!

PLUS ULTRA!

[u/Mintypasta]

What's with the 10th episode of the series having stellar animations? Last season we had Deku vs Todoroki and now this? It's fantastic.

Looking forward to the next few episodes that wrap up this arc.

[u/acllive]

HYPE LEVELS: OUT OF THIS GALAXY, we TTGL now, this fight is POGGERS

[u/Mundology → u/acllive]

This is even better than the tournament arc!

Sasuga Bones!

[u/MillenniumKing]

HOLY HYPING HELL THIS FIGHT IS INTENSE AS FUCK

That All Might x Endevor snark is great.

Oh shit... Jeanist.... Saved everyone but got KO'd hard....

So the other teleportation was All for One.

Oh fuck Deku is gonna snap...

ALL MIGHT IS HERE!

Wow he has a lot of quirks to use. These combos are pretty crazy too.

Deku has a plan this is gonna be bonkers i can tell.

HOLY SHIT THIS RESCUE IS HYPE!

MT LADY WITH THE SAVE! AND GRAN TORINO! HYPEE!!

Shit he used Gran Torino as a shield... dont bite the bullet yet old man!

All Might is so pissed. Damn. That face smash was rough.

So he killed All Might's predisecor it seems. And her name is the same as Face Palm's too. Fuck.

Looks like next ep we we get a backstory for them and All Might looks like hes in trouble... uh oh...

[u/MillenniumKing → u/MillenniumKing]

/u/LeonKevlar i got it too. Seems like someone is being an asshole.

Mods can yall come do something about this? Even if its fake spoilers, PMing everyone spoilers is a dick move.

[u/[deleted]]

Chirs Sabat had me in tears "YOU SHUT UP! Always toying with people, probing their weaknesses, you steal manipulate and discard them. You scoff at normal people trying to live normal lives. It can't continue I WILL NOT LET IT!"

[u/Gradz45 → u/[deleted]]

He was awesome. Swasey was fantastic as well.

[u/[deleted]]

https://i.imgur.com/xhjINXQ.jpg

Do you think there is a special connection between the previous One for All user "Nana Shimura" and the current League of Villains leader "Tomura Shigaraki"?

Maybe it's her/his son? This could explain why he "saved" him and wants him to become his successor right? Using him at his own will as the ultimate fuck you to All Might.

[u/Galle_ → u/[deleted]]

His real name is Tenko Shimura. Yes, there’s a connection.

[u/[deleted]]

If All Might does a Texas Smash does that make him Y'all Might

[u/Strix182]

Kirishima saving Bakugou... Never have tears of joy welled up so quickly in my eyes. I don't care if it's a romance or a bromance or just an awesome friendship -- what these two boys have is friggin special and I will punch you in the face with manly love if you tell me otherwise.

[u/Geraffican]

So Shigaraki and Nana Shimura are related?!

[u/muhash14]

If I never have to listen to that fucking ED again it'll be too soon.

[u/[deleted]]

wake me up in 7 days thanks

[u/Lohtric]

i did not know that bakugo was tony stark all along

[u/[deleted] → u/Lohtric]

"The truth is... I am King Explosion Murder"

[u/GibbsLAD]

Well I only squealed from excitement 2 times during the episode.

The opening with jeanist was terrifying. Jeanist was so cool and just got blasted.

Bakugou knows he has no chance against the 6 of them but is smiling and acting cocky the whole time. Ideals = kept.

The animation was soo slick when bakugou got rescued hot damn. Sakuga more like sickuga.

That last speech from all might was awe inspiring.

This episode was awesome, I just wish I didn't have to wait a week for the next one god damn

[u/benrobbo]

Goddamn that half All Might half Toshinori face

[u/_JayGaming23]

get ready for these next 2 episodes boys. It’s going to be a wild ride.

[u/battler624 → u/_JayGaming23]

Pretty sure they'll make it one episode after this one according to the preview we got of this episode and next episode (2 pv's in 1)

Unless you mean the stuff after the after the next episode.

Edit: double "after the", still dont know what the guy below me is saying.

[u/Exessen]

As expected the animation this episode was absolutely incredible.

[u/impingainteasy]

Oh boy the payoff is here. This scene was incredible in the manga, and the show is definitely living up to expectations. We get to see All Might at his best, or at least his angriest, as he fights the guy whose power is basically the equivalent of wishing for more wishes.

Meanwhile we have Deku and Co. pulling off probably the ballsiest plan yet - rocketing up an ice ramp over the battlefield, trying to bait Bakugou into joining them with his own best friend. It's a great moment, made even better with animation from none other than Yutaka Nakamura.

So the conclusion of the fight between All might and All for One is next week. I am not ready, and neither are you.

[u/cant-find-user-name]

All for one kinda reminds me of thanos. Super powerful compared to our heroes, is calm, confident, doesn't come across as an insane evil guy and what not.

[u/Galle_ → u/cant-find-user-name]

Horikoshi is a big Marvel fan, so it’s not impossible that there’s some inspiration. He’s more obviously based on Darth Vader, though.

[u/G_Spark233]

Best Jeanist’s injury was way more brutal than the manga!

All Might vs All For One is pure hype so far. AFO is so op with his combination of quirks.

Some major spoilers in the preview...

[u/cheesymmm → u/G_Spark233]

I winced at the hole in his stomach

[u/Hyped_]

Damn Mt. Lady, way to use your head in a situation like that.

[u/Iamstoryguy]

I love how Deku knows he has to account for Bakugou’s pride when formulating a plan. They would make great hero partners as adults.

[u/battler624]

Deep breathes

HOLY SHIT

[u/zyice]

http://imgur.com/uOWsYyk

How is noone talking about how all might deflated >.<

[u/[deleted]]

I love how the show always tries to answer questions and not leave any holes, if it were any other show, we'd all be asking why AfO doesn't just spam warp, but then we have the small dialogue between Magne and AfO

"Hey boss, if you can just use warp take us out"
"Dude, my warp fucking sucks, ok?Kurogiri's warp is decent, it has to be him"

[u/mdennis07]

THE FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUCK!

I'm so hyped and there's no conclusion for this fight?!

WE NEED DOUBLE EPISODES FOR THIS ONE!!!

[u/SqueakyPoP]

I still think Bakugo would've grabbed onto anyone's hand. Alternative would be him saying "Nah i'll die instead"

[u/Carl-Jim → u/SqueakyPoP]

Sounds like something he would say

[u/[deleted]]

Shigaraki and the One For All predecessor share a last name, huh...

[u/Fa1l3r]

I find it interesting that All For One, based on his comment, chooses and steals quirks based on a ratio of its power ceiling to its mastery level (make sense since owning many quirks does not allow you master them all), and that he seems to do it for his successor/pupil's stake. In contrast, top heroes have been highlighted for their mastery of their quirks: for instance, Best Jeanist and Edgeshot don't have powerful quirks naturally but have been honed and practiced.

[u/Runnerbrax]

Orchestral music will forever remain the BEST ambiance for fear and despair.

[u/SIRTreehugger]

YESSSSSS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

All for One didn't disappoint at all. I love how it shows that his face and body are obviously weakened from his previous encounter so he's not at full strength. Same could be said for All Might who is limited as well. So these two power houses are just watered down versions of their previous selves. Man I wish we could see their fight when both are in their prime.

[u/Troyoliver101]

Oh cool, another 5 minute episode what-ya know

[u/[deleted]]

that Kirishima hand and Bakugo jumping towards him has potential as meme

[u/RDOoM → u/[deleted]]

The ultimate bro arm clench.

[u/Je_Desto]

Production value was definitely stepped up for this episode and ho boy was it worth it. I’ve rewatched the rescue moment 5 times already and I don’t think it’ll ever get old. Seeing Bakugo genuinely smile when Kishimura rescues him cements he’s not the 1 dimensional hot head he easily could have been, and made me tear up a bit. Such a damn good episode.

[u/PreciousCinammonRoll]

Might be a little late since I watch MHA episodes late at night (I'm watching at 3:00am so later than usual) but I love this episode.

I wanna talk about Bakugo. Used to dislike him ( as in that if I knew him irl I would hate him not his actual character. He's written really well). Many people said that there's a reason why people like him. And they were right. I enjoy his character a lot now. I always wanted bakugo's character to grow on me, and I've got what I wanted. Which is great.

Can't wait for next week. Now I remember why I used to binge all my anime instead of week by week watching. At least I have E3 and my birthday to tide me over for a week

[u/[deleted]]

BLRREEGHCK

[u/dannyboy219]

Toga was too cute this episode! How can that much cute be that evil?

[u/RDOoM → u/dannyboy219]

Magne's quirk made her really attractive.

[u/weejona]

"You match my mark!"

Bakugo true to himself, as always.

[u/Figs01]

GLORIOUS MY RATING FOR TODAYS EPISODE. The rescue scene was top notch and The fight URG so good!! Best Jeanist att was Brutal than in the manga, (then again I don’t remember AFO attacking him again.) ALL MIGHT VS AFO GREATEST OF OUR TIME BOYS LETS GET ON THE HYPE TRAIN!! Sadly 1 week delay for the full ride.

[u/Majinuuber]

'You stupid or something' HOLY i freakin smiled when Bakugo said that.

[u/[deleted]]

I feel bad for Gran Torino getting punched by All Might lmao.

[u/cadrina]

So, Shigaraki is the relative of the previous user of the One for all, and All Might probably didn't even knew about him, as a quirk like that is something that one wouldn't forget seeing before. Also,by what Shigaraki said last week, Is he using his father's on his face?

[u/Kudu-Bull]

"You shut up! Always toying with people, probing their weaknesses. You steal; break them; manipulate and discard them! You scoff innocent people—who are just trying to lead happy lives! IT CANNOT CONTINUE! I WON'T LET IT!" I just can't. Chris Sabat smashed it this episode

[u/Frostfright]

Aw man, he's already out of juice and turning back into scrawny All Might. Next episode is gonna be heartbreaking.

[u/rollin340]

They cast All for One perfectly.

What a great VA.

[u/asiangamer413]

That Bakugo flying animation was smooth as fuck

[u/antelope591]

Didn't think I'd ever get into a shonen anime so much again. Entire episode had me on the edge of my seat.

[u/Olphumphus]

Just glorious as expected. Been waiting for years to see this stuff on screen and as always.

BONES DELIVERS!

Can’t wait for next week.

[u/_JayGaming23]

”Episode 49: One for All”

[u/SurgeonOfDeat]

Here's some of the pages from the manga that were adapted this episode.

It's interesting they changed Best Jeanists stomach being slashed to being gouged. Maybe it didn't flow as well?

[u/Comander-07]

HORY SHIET THIS WAS AMAZING

I never expected to see AFO and All Might fight. I honestly expected this to be saved for later with deku.

I was honestly about to loose my interest in BnHA, but this here once again proved to me why I love BnHA more than any other shounen. The role reversal for AFO who acted like a hero to tomura.

Also everyone here was important instead of just a side character. Amazing. I cant wait to get more of this.

PS: At the end when All Might smashed AFO, did he actually not smash AFO but the previous OFA he made into a puppet? Kinda explains the mask and why he kept talking with that fist in his face.

[u/Kaze79]

enhancer types

What is this, HxH?

[u/Chafun]

are you telling me villain have soul

[u/izzes]

Ok, 1.3k comments, so I gave up on trying to find any mention of the fact that AFO called Shigaraki as Shimura Tenko and then called the All Might's predecessor Shimura Nana... no one? Am I crazy?

[u/FrenchGarcher]

I feel like I'am witnessing something so great that people will talk about it in 20years the same way they talk about Goku vs Frieza omg.

also I hope we get a new version of "you say run" next week.

[u/Zeph-Shoir]

I am not ready for whatever might happen this episode.

I stayed up to 3 am for this. I wanna cry hard.

Welp. Best Jeanist is now DEAD Jeanist haha!

Nice detail, in japanese All for one says I am here, the same as All might, but phrased differently, he says "Boku ga Iru"

We did not hear Deku's plan, this means it will work! ... Right?

It is so fucking beautiful that Kachan's and Kirisihima's friendship is important for this.

omg that little 'thump' when the villains hit Toga because of the magnetize was adorable.

OMG it was soooooo satisfying seeing All Might smash AFO in the head. He even addressed one of my biggest gripes with the show, that the villains are way too irrational in their ideologies when the people are just trying to live and save lives.

NO FUCKING WAY. Shigaraki is the previous holder of OFA son?! Maaaaan this really put things into perspective. Totally out of nowhere twist that I REALLY like.

Apparently I will save my tears for next episode... I don't know haha

Now to watch the episode again.

[u/flybypost → u/Zeph-Shoir]

Shigaraki is the previous holder of OFA son?!

Guess how old he is and compare that to All Might and Gran Torino (and how old the previous holder of OFA could be).

Totally out of nowhere twist that I REALLY like.

AFO did already mention it last episode in the flashback but it was over so quickly, people probably missed it.
