Was enjoying the episode and then Tenya's apology took me right out of it again.

Damn, Iida and Deku double-whammied that motherfucker despite their injuries. Honestly, I forgot about the pro hero, Native and don't even know what his kosei/quirk is.

I somewhat see Endeavor in a different light now. He may a bad father and allows his obsession of creating a hero that will surpass All Might cloud his better judgment but he still saves people and fights villains like a hero. Still he ain't no dad/husband of the year yet.

I wasn't expecting Stain to save Midoriya indirectly. I guess he admires All Might and sees everyone as fakes because their intentions aren't as pure?

Great episode, the scene where Deku and Iida hit Stain at the same time was awesome. Endeavor might be a scumbag, but he's not number two for no reason. He works quite efficient and also prioritizes human lives before anything.

The nomu are a lot creepier animated brrrr...I completely forgot how Stain dies at the end so abruptly. I'd say this was a good episode but all the needless recapping and labeling of peoples' quirks is starting to annoy me.

i was a bit confused in the endz when stain's blindfold fell and everyone froze. but i guess that's his bloodlust, not his quirk as i imagined...
the arc ended so soon, the hype was so big i thought it would be bigger, but anyways... i really liked it, i was just underwhelmed by expectation.

Stain inadvertedly turned Deku, Iida, and Shouto into a splendid trio by forcing them to fight with the best of their abilities, having them tag each other when one gets knocked away throughout the fight and covering each other's weaknesses when possible. That kick to the sides by Iida accompanied by a resounding smash from Deku after Todoroki forced Stain to go up was great.

Endeavor's pretty awesome with the blazing trails he leaves by melting the very surface he stands on. Gran Torino proved himself to be pretty impressive as well.

Even after getting restrained, Stain immediately freed himself and disposed of that last Nomu who only took advantage of the situation to kidnap Izuku while he's incapable of moving and fighting. He's insanely obsessed with his worldviews and the intensity of his hateful gaze struck true fear into the hearts of everyone in the scene. It was really scary if I had to say so myself. He didn't have to step close to actually do anything to show that he's nothing to scoff at.

The Hero Killer, Stain was fighting for his ideals or against "false ideals" of the so-called heros. He's an incredibly powerful villain and I think even Endeavour would've struggled against him. They were all in shock as he went into an unbelievable rage. Crazy. Also the fact that he wasn't even at full power when fighting the three and posed a fight was crazy, but still yoy have to hand it to Shoto Todoroki, Tenya Iida and Izuku Midoriya for being able to temporarily stop him. It really shows just how powerful they are and Class 1-A as a whole. Out there representing. Midoriya showed true class acting for his friend, meddling where it wasn't necessary, the mark of a true hero. Well said All Might. Good episode, but not perfect. Really enjoyable though so 8/10

Although Endeavour was introduced as a raw and bitter character, it was very amazing to watch him fighting. He's still an awesome hero.
The fight themes are outstanding!!
Ida's apology was very emotional. I smiled a little when Todoroki reminded him of his role as a class representative.

And finally, the ending with the hero murderer...i don't get the last quote from Midorya: "He licked noones blood, but still, the hero murderer was at this moment and place the only one to stand up to the enemy."
Is he just referring to his rescue or something else, somthing greater?

It is cool that Tenya recovers and rescues Shoto.



It is also awesome how Deku, Shoto, and Tenya defeat Stain.





Stain is restrained.



So Stain saves Deku and kills Nomu.



Thanks to Stain, Deku is safe.



Stain goes into full wrath mode. Everyone steps back out of fear. Even Endeavor and Gran Torino are shocked.



But Stain loses his consciousness due to his injured lungs. Still, he does not hesitate to save people who are deemed "true heroes."

This episode is so good. ♥

Why could this fight not last longer?

This was by far on of my most favorite enemies in Anime.... EVER!

A character with a reason of "lets not destroy the world"

A character who actually is a good guy in his mind and he makes his own rules, and when people follow those rules, he saves them rather than just killing everyone.

Beautiful.

Man, that was an intense fight. Good thing Iida was able to stand back. Hero Killer seems really strong although there might be limitations with his Quirk. I don't like Endeavor that much but glad to see him in action. I wonder if he noticed that he's being called Todoroki by Gran Torino. Whew my heart jumped when Stain stood up but he saved Deku somehow.

So, the moral of the story was "Make sure you say heroic lines while doing whatever you want so you can maintain the appearance of being a hero." At least, I assume that's the case since that seems to be all that Iida learned from this.

Stain can make someone immobile just by tasting their blood, and Quirks are supposed to be "physical traits?" This power makes less sense than a JoJo Stand, and there's no bogus justification for it either.

Stain is really interesting. He's like the same premise of Deku in the want for a true genuine hero but from a different background and way of thinking.

Good episode. Iida finally understood. That fight was cool. Endeavor is quite destructive. That moment was funny when Shouto's words were like underestimating him, haha!!! That hurt his ego.

The hero killer Stain has some story I think. The guy saved Deku. But after getting unmasked, his face reminds of Katsuki Bakugo. I think Stain needs psychological treatment.

Endeavor's still an asshole, but his power is sick and I like how he actually cares enough about his son to send help to him.

Omg that was so cute when the Native pro piggyback carried Deku. Deku looked so cute like a baby!!!!

I cried with Iida. I couldn’t see anything......past my anger.... I felt that. And Shouto reassuring him....omg I cried

And then gasped. I knew Stain wouldn’t go down that easily weren’t they being a little careless with him knowing how strong he is???? Thank goodness tho. I dead ass thought Deku was going to be whisked away just like that. Stain really did save him huh lol

All Might, the only hero, ouch Endeavor. And he may be a shitty toxic dad but his power is really great, it was cool seeing him in action! I hope there would be more development on his & Shouto’s relationship, he didn’t forget about his son & did send support his way. I think their relationship would be more compelling if they had more development & didn’t just stop at abusive toxic father-son dynamics. I dunno, I just want Shouto to be happy ●’◡’●

Damn Todoroki, Deku and Iida were lit!! The fight was so intense! And Endeavour's so powerful too. He can even manipulate his firepower!! Stain is one of the most badass antagonists I've ever seen. He ain't good but he isn't necessarily bad either. Iida was way too inclined towards revenge but his attacks were commendable.

Stain was really something else. Even many of the most powerful heroes struggled against him.

He finally seems to be out of commission, but that was too close.

Damn, Stain, there in the stood up moment was more badass than all that fake heroes combined. Don't know why but i feel like All Might might come in rescued out of sudden after Stain talked about him in the end. But he end up busting himself unconcious while standing and killing that bird Nomu. Such a chad.

But anyway, hope Iida will recover to his foolish selfishness and just be a good class rep already. Since y'know, even Todoroki could'nt keep up with it, and need Deku to wake him up. So why you should've been like that, class rep?

Stain is definitely an interesting character while he isn’t on the side of good, he’s not on the side of evil side either at least he doesn’t think of himself as a villain and is more or less targeting some heroes mainly because he feels that heroism is becoming a dying trend which makes his character complex but the way he goes about this worldview is to essentially murder heroes to make his point clear which paints him as a villain as well as a serial killer. The fight that Deku, Todoroki and Tenya had with him was so cool to watch. We even got to see Endeavour in action, okay he maybe a dick to his family but damn it I would be lying if I said he wasn’t awesome in the scenes he had.

Even Tenya himself got a flashback about his brother which was nice to see. Gran Torino showing that he’s still got it, managed to beat up one of the Nomus was pretty awesome. Yeah basically the whole episode was definitely Stain’s episode, I mean he’s steadfast in his beliefs even when he damaged one of his lungs and passed out while standing he was still able to deliver a bone chilling speech to the petrified heroes and telling them that All Might is the only one worth enough to take him on, he saves Deku from the winged Nomu but again still leaves the rest of the heroes just scared out of their minds. The menacing backdrop he even helped him as he was doing this which helped add to the scene itself. I have a feeling that it’s not the last I’ll see him. But for now he’s a pretty cool character and interesting as I’ve already stated before. One word to describe this episode: Epicness. Utter epicness right there.

Pretty cool episode with the fight against Stain, but it just didn’t really stick with me. It was cool but went by very quick but also very slow, and I’m kinda disappointed but it’s not Iida that annihilated him. But Stain suddenly freeing himself and freezing everybody was really cool.
