Overall it was a pretty exiting build up episode, Stain truly brought up a new wave of motivated villians there. Also this best girl finally appeared. Toga chan huh? I'm more of a Tsuyu guy but guys who are in to her type of "crazy" are absolutely nuts about her lol. I also love Tsuyu and Uraraka, the female cast in general is pretty good in BnHA and even tho it contradicts with the term best girl and how the community is defining it I have not just one, but many best girls in some shows hehe. |
One Piece episode 914 & 915 & 1027 were a mistake and 957 brought the salvation - FMmatron |
| Great episode. The aftermath of the battle turned out to be something that influenced villains more. Nice. Wow, didn't know All Might was 220 cm tall :O I died at that ringtone lmao Ugh, next episode with Tsuyu. Oh well. |

CraftyGoblin said: I feel it's unfair for Stain to have been apprehended after the ending of the last episode! It's ok I guess, but it only adds to the one dimensional nature of the series. I don't know what happens in the manga, but the lame league of villains (accidentally) taking advantage of his portrayal of sheer willpower and conviction is truly a letdown. If stain doesn't somehow get out, the story goes from 10 to 8 for me. His character felt more real without any development than the kids. His agony with society is real, his conviction and motivation are real. He doesn't want to be the best hero/villain ever (like did it ever motivate you to want to be the richest/strongest in the world? Exactly), he focuses on the things immediately infront of him. What made him even more real, was how his quirk was handled which is friggin brilliant! 1v1 he can kill any hero because of his extremely amazing skill with blades and a quirk which he specialised for this. But even kids were able to beat him because of his quirks weakness, which becomes apparent in the alleyway fight. Moreover I don't really like the way All for One and League of Villains are being handled. Like... They portray that it was part of their plan somehow to have Stain beaten by kids who impulsively showed up at his scene even when the League leader tried his best distraction tactic by launching an unplanned attack on a whole city? Wow. A brilliant plan I must say. Also I hate that palm guy. He's a waste of such a great character design. Even Bakugo was shown to be deeper than his angry mode in the sports festival (making him one of the less 1 dimensional character)! Shigaraki is impulsive. Wastes precious resources (Nomus) and time. Has no real plan of action. Has little to no skill. Then the show goes ahead and zooms in on his face in the end for an epic climax and calls it a day? Wtf! That dude literally did nothing but waste time! Everyone's time! Now I sound like I hate the show, but I actually absolutely love it and this episode annoyed me, because it took out a real villain and replaced a fake show off into the spotlight. Like, how are all the awesome villains who we saw glimpses of going to follow the league of villains based on Stain's actions?? When they show up and knock on the door of his bar, they are going to see a brat with anger management issues who really is 180 degrees opposite of what Stain was and claims to be responsible for Stain's actions. If I was a powerful villain in that situation, I would head back and bury myself into the "deep, dark" hole I climbed out of! Kickback and watch Breaking Bad for the 7th time, instead of wasting my time on phonies. What a joke. If they do end up following him, they may as well click on the "Hot Girl waiting 7 miles away" ads over and over wondering what went wrong with their lives. The rest of the episode was good, nothing else to add really. Damn. Sorry for the rant though. believe it or not, this story is as much about deku becoming a hero as it is about shigaraki becoming a proper villain. He is not a proper bad guy because he is growing. Also, during stain and shigaraki's conversation, it became apparant that shigaraki was a noob bad guy who didnt even have a clear goal.He didnt like stain and wanted to kill him. But the outcome was unexpected but he took advantage of it.shigaraki took stain's creed or goal and used it for himself and recruited people. In a way, he also has grown-though its not as apparant as most character development. |

| Ahhh... The final enemy will have the quirk All for One, sounds interesting. The police chief lol, it was a dog! P.D. Be aware of the mighty Hand Crusher, Todoroki!! |
| Karasuno Fight!!! |
| I still don't get it when Todoroki mention about Hand Crusher. Endeavor got all the credit for capturing Stain. that phone call scene is the best, lol |
| A very powerful episode. Unfortunately, based on the preview the next episode will probably be a filler one |
 |
| And that is how we segway from one of the best arcs of the series into the NEXT best arc of the series XD The revelations of One for All, as well as the arch-nemesis All for One, were slightly sprinkled in, but enough to whet appetites for sure. A little disappointed in the anime-only content of next episode, but I'll forgive it if it means Tsuyu gets the shine-time that she truly deserves with her internship. |
HESTIA   APPROVES |
| wow a lot was reveled this episode... I really excited for this new league of villivans! The villains look so cool and I'm just pumped up. Also All for Ome was mentioned Since I read parts of the manga Ik but it says not to discuss the so ... I love bakugos best Jeanius look. It so great! also Deku over reacting to talk to Uraraka on the phone! Idk but I really loved this episode! So PUMPED AND HYPE (yes both) for this next arc! AHHAHAHAHAHAAHAHAA |

| All for One, who is he :0 |
| 5/5 Good episode, the only thing remarkable and that leaves me with doubts is who is she? she's super cute.  |
 |
| Midoriya is in the Stain video |
In episode 17 it was stated that among several pro heroes there were also 3 school children who were caught up in the incident. Nothing to worry about. |
W.A.I.F.U = Women. Are. Imaginary. For. Us. |
| Once again BONES knocking it out of the park with this adaption. Season 3 is surely a must with the massive sales the anime is bringing in. Also, for anyone wondering what an actual handcrusher looks like; Next episode is entirely anime-original content, however it seems Horikoshi had some input. I'm fine with it, as there's still plenty of time to cover the last arc for Season 2. |
W.A.I.F.U = Women. Are. Imaginary. For. Us. |
| I can't wait for the crazy girl, I see fanart of her everywhere. I wonder who this Shimura woman is, I want to know more about One for All and All for One. I bet that guy with half a face is All for One, but I don't know. I think he'll be the Big Bad for at least 2 arcs until he gets killed. |

closeureyes said: 5/5 Good episode, the only thing remarkable and that leaves me with doubts is who is she? she's super cute. Toga Himiko. She's real popular with a lot of fans for some reason lol. Some think she's overrated. Some absolutely love her for reasons I obviously can't discuss yet since it'll include spoilers :) |
| Wait how do people know that Stain was connected to the League of Villains, or that the League of Villains represents Stain's ideology? |
| “Humankind cannot gain anything without first giving something in return. To obtain, something of equal value must be lost. That is alchemy's first law of Equivalent Exchange. In those days, we really believed that to be the world's one, and only, truth. But the world isn't perfect, and the law is incomplete..." -Alphonse Elric "Then and now, what I protect has never changed!" -Sakata Gintoki I'll take anything like The Pet Girl of Sakurasou. Anything as good as that. |
| Hmm that is some intense ideology, though I feel like its more radical virtue signaling. |
 Behold of my awesomeness~ controversial and/or sensitive topics likely devolve into the same repetitive, derogatory, abusive, and harassing comments can no longer be posted. But my feels. |
| 20 minutes preview. |
| And so it Begins ,our girl is here as well. |
 |
Did anyone noticed this little error? |
| I'm liking how they haven't forgotten Stain, he isn't just a villain, he's a real character with convictions and will. He knows perfectly why he does what he does and that reasons are gonna influence other villains, it seems like if Stain is gonna be the gate to something bigger, really bigger. |
 |
| Eh, the rules seem really stupid. Even though they got bent. It might of went over my head, but I don't see how mass murdering heroes represent his ideals. Sure he is getting rid of "fakes", but the only type of people his ideology is going to attract is people who also want to do villainy things.

GangsterCat said: so episode 19-25 is going to be garbage filler? What even lead you to think that? |

Luminlight said: GaryMuffuginOak said: Wait how do people know that Stain was connected to the League of Villains, or that the League of Villains represents Stain's ideology? Curious about that as well. the reporter recorded Tomura Shigaraki and Kurogiri in the first few minutes, later it become a report in news too, which they also said the incident might be connected the the one who attacked UA back in the day. CMIIW. |

CMIIW. Yeah I saw that, but that is just a possible connection. No one cemented the idea of League of Villains representing Stain's ideals. When it comes to ideals it should be absolute conviction imo. |
| Not sure why the characters are still being introduced with the pop-up name labels. It's odd that this began since the Stain Arc. It's understandable if this was done in the first few eps of S1. The name labels interrupt the flow of the show. What do you think? |
| Finally Toga has made an appearance. Best Girl!  |
 |
| Toga-chan hype!! |
| Don't forget. Always, somewhere, someone is fighting for you. As long as you remember her, you are not alone. |
Like many said best girl hype is real. |
| Finally best girl (besides Tsuyu) appears in the anime. Been waiting forever to see her animated. |

Spoiler tag that please >.> We won't be getting those this season anyway. Still got another arc to cover before that. |

It annoys me as well but I think it was done to have a wider appeal to casual watchers and less attentive kids because season 2 has a prime time airing slot. |

xskitzox said: I think the whole "punishment" scene made no sense. I guess if they want to cover up who captured stain because they are minors that would be fine, but to say their quirks were misused because the villain had injuries, that's just dumb. He was in the middle of killing someone, obviously he wasn't going to stop killing that person by someone using harsh language. Does that mean that no villain is allowed to be injured even if they are in the process of killing and refuse to stop? Stain was arrested but he was walking with the police, while some of the heroes left on stretchers, seems like his injuries weren't as bad. Who would be willing to become a hero if the villain is able to kill or severely injure you, but if while you defend yourself or others you happen to injure the villain you get punished. Holding heroes to a higher standard is just a matter of investigating, was the amount of force used justifiable? If yes then no punishment. Clearly in this scenario where someone is being killed the amount of force used was justifiable. In real-world law, you are allowed to apprehend your assailant, but there may still be penalties if you cause grievous harm, even in the name of self defense. In a world with superpowers, regulations would have to be even stricter. As the chief said, they gave him several broken bones and severe burns. Midoriya's punches to his face alone would be enough to leave permanent brain damage, Todoroki's fire could cause permanent scarring and limb contractures, whereas his ice could cause frostbites requiring amputation, Iida's vehicle-grade collisions could cause internal organ rupture. Being a hero is about stopping wrongdoing. It's awfully hypocritical if you achieved that by permanently disabling the perpetrator. |
| The Todoroki Hand Crusher joke was even funnier in the anime than in the manga...just pure brilliance. Also hyped to see a glimpse of the awesome new villains coming up, and considering how fillers have gone so for for BnHA, not too worried about next ep. I expect it to be super hilarious, honestly XD |
| Oh yeah that blonde girl... she'll be cool i hope ! |

| Finally Toga-chan arrived!!! |
