| What an explosive episode, and I mean tha literally with Bakugo being featured. If there's anyone this season who wants to prove that they are not washed and still capable of being a hero, it's Bakugo. He really took the fight with his explosive skills in that fight. They put a lot of effort into the chereography and I'm impressed at how far he's come. He really took Shigaraki's fight to a level that I bet he wasn't expecting. From Shigaraki's perspective, he's still no pushover this season. |

| AFO is such a savage lol. Not only is he overpowering them but roasting them hard at the same time, though then they would have to throw these “yOu mAdE mY fRiENd cRy” one-liners and be the unwanted fun police. Still jokes aside, I liked the entire Endeavour bit. This man might be beyond redemption for what he did in the past, but yeah, he gave his all for the cause. Flames were animated well too, though bad luck this came against AFO of all people:( Not going to die, AFO that is. By the way, we’re finally at this bit with everyone facing Shigaraki. Can’t wait to see the LOWEST this series went to finally be adapted into the adaptation, because yeah, from what I could remember that should be in the next episode. The new OP fits right with the tone right now I guess, better than the last one anyway. New ED is.. like every ED ever in this series. |
 |
| IMO, Yuuri's OP for the second cour is top five MHA OPs. While Zarame's ED I could see growing on me in the the future. AFO continues to mock Hawks and the students, questioning if being around the strong made the kids believe they were worthy of facing the Demon Lord. Jirou recoils as her left Earphone Jack is blown off. Despite the pain, she retorts that all he ever talks about is who is weak, strong, or special, while she doesn't care about any of that—she only cares that he made her friends cry. Jirou then launches a powerful attack at AFO. He dismisses her beliefs as the delusions of the weak, useless against absolute power, and attempts another strike. Suddenly, he finds himself being resisted within his vestige world. My fuck, how much freaking control does Endeavor have to summon an entire flaming arm to punch people... It'd be pretty much unstoppable lmao, just a touch and you'd probably burst into flames. He's really throwing everything he's got against AFO and it's crazy. Like when seeing those quirk-erasing bullets, I really thought AFO might somehow nullify Endeavor's quirk, but now everyone's saying he's going to rejuvenate himself to his youthful state. And now, here we go—the carnival that is the Bakugo and Shigaraki fight begins. Bakugo the deuteragonist against Shigaraki the MAIN antagonist... good luck pal. |

| Nice pun in the title. 焼身照命 (shoushinshoumei) - lit. "burn body shine life" (not a real word), which is pronounced the same as 正真正銘 (shoushinshoumei, lit. righteous true righteous inscription) - "genuine; authentic; true; real" |
 |
Scorching and explosive powers, intensified through display of character. Uplifting even in its bleak circumstance. |
| endeavor and bakugo did their best attacks and best motivational speeches but did nothing damn |
| I was a bit sad that they changed the OP because I liked the previous one, but I was pleasantly surprised by this new one. This is probably my favourite opening so far. Speaking of the episode itself, this was nothing short of amazing. Intense from start to finish. |
| I like the new op. I aslo liked the evangelion-inspired hand of Endevor. I remember the Eva-01 doing something very similar, albeit with the other hand. Anyway, I thought that he would die from that Prominence Burn, but I'm not sure what All-for-One can do with that expendable, desecrated body. Also, Bakugo expressed that he learned the power of teamwork, but he wasn't successful at all against Shigaraki. Now what? |
 |
| endeavor was going ham tbf. |
 |
| ok endeavour!! i see you pretty sick episode i rlly don’t care for shigaraki as a villain man |
 |
Bro, Shigaraki is really unstoppable... |
 |
TheNb said: I really liked this episode but after reading the manga nothing could really impress me visually. I know it's unrealistic and dumb of me to expect them to match the quality of the source material but I can't help but compare the two. yea that’s fair. i’m the same with one piece luckily i haven’t read mha yet so i don’t know any better! haha |
|
| Incredibly well episode, the OP/ED slaps as well that's W. |
| Got emotional for a moment because of Endeavor there (I actually teared up). And I'm quite proud of how my beloved Kacchan's doing his best (kinda happy that Shigaraki noted him as the one being the closest to Deku) but I feel like this episode almost took half of my life away just watching. Not complaining about it though, like give me the stress! Also I feel like the previous OST has more feel to them compared to the new opening and ending songs, but maybe cause I wasn't just used to it yet...? Looking forward to the next episode! 🖤 |
| Finally back after a week break, and we got a new OP and ED since it’s now the summer season, they’re both very good once again, the ED I especially liked but everyone else seems to love the OP, one of those weird times where it hits really hard for everyone else except me lol, but I’m definitely a fan of it, I just need to hear it some more. Only unfortunate thing is that the first OP and ED of this season are now the shortest lived ones in the series, and imo they were both bangers, but it is what it is, MHA never misses with the music so I’m always down to hear new ones. And what an episode to return to, the battle with All For One actually went very well for the heroes after everyone took rough blows, but this didn’t deter my girl Jiro or anyone else there, they all came together to take down All For One, even the quirks inside of him. And seeing Endeavor rise like a Phoenix and do what should have been a finishing blow was awesome to witness, loved that he replaced his torn off arm with one made of fire there, but sadly this was not the end of All For One since it appears he has a power similar to Eri’s, I figured he wasn’t done tho so I’m looking forward to seeing how they deal with whatever the hell All For One pulls out next And then on the Shigaraki side of things, we got to see an awesome moment for Bakugo when he made use of that strafe panzer support weapon to suppress Shigaraki, it was a powerful moment due to Bakugo’s inner monologue and the scene looked very good too, you also had the documentary bros pointing out how big of a collaborative effort this is to take down the monster that is Shigaraki, along with Kaminari’s words on Bakugo, but yet again Shigaraki proves how stupid strong he is when he completely shuts down the attack and puts everyone in a bad spot, it hurt to see Bakugo in that state at the end after such a good moment, but of course the fight wasn’t gonna end there, so I’m definitely excited to see the heroes rebound here, as well as the eventual arrival of Midoriya, man’s been traveling there for almost a month now lol. |
| I cant watch this anymore, this show is terrible, it has the same terrible antagonists since season 1 that have well overstayed their welcome and refuse to go away. Everytime it looks like they're close to losing they pull something out of their asses to get away and the worst part is they dont have any degree of character development at all. I dont read the manga and as a normal, sane person i would think this is the last season. But i can already see that this will get dragged out again. I was so glad when Deku became less of a crybaby but now i have to deal with these annoying villains instead. The only good thing about this show is Usagiyama, and look what they have done to her immaculate, caramel body. |
| After a break, MHA is back with a new OP and ED. I think they're pretty good. Might even be better than the previous ones. Ngl, the first part was my favorite. Endeavor going all out against All For One is amazing. Back when I was watching Season 2/3 I never would've expected Endeavor to be the one in the final fight with AFO. That cliffhanger tho. Really wanna see what AFO has in store. Similar thing goes for Shigaraki. Bakugo's toast. Deku should hurry up. The animation was great in this episode. Hope they keep this up. |
| Endeavours character developement really became MHA greatest strength. At this point you could almost say you should watch this solely for him. Too much talking Bakugo, especially when you end up achieving nothing. Screentime wasted for background characters underground. Time for Lemillion, the real hero to reappear next ep! |
| "This emotion is mine alone. It is for Madoka alone." - Homura or how I would descripe Mahou Shoujo Madoka Magica. |
| Back from a break with new theme songs, OP is def a step up from TK's (and I'm saying this as a TK fan) and the ED is pretty much in line with softer-sounding EDs we've grown accustomed to hearing in this series. Some big, explosive attacks in this episode from Endeavor and Bakugo, giving it all they've got, and it still isn't enough to take out AFO and Shiggy. Now they've really got their backs against the wall. |
| People on MAL refuse to actually enjoy watching anime. Your taste in anime isn't a personality trait. MAL is literally just anime Twitter as its own website lol. |
| More Endeavor is more good content. |
| Shigaraki was already super-OP and now they've made him ridiculously and implausibly strong. Those millions of hands are weird and the "my body is adapting to the quirks" line makes no sense; they were just a plot device to have him fight the heroes ostensibly without a quirk. It looks like Endeavor will lose his quirk and/or life in the next couple of episodes. The image of Eri and that read anti-quirk shot clearly suggested that. But I did not get how All for One revived without a super regeneration quirk. Did he use Eri's quirk on himself? 🤔 |
 |
| Endeavor is arguably the best written character in MHA. He went from being a professional arrogant POS to a true example of a hero. That fight was hype AF! I knew that Bakugo's attack wouldn't work. He got too cocky and forgot that Shigaraki is too OP. Bakugo saved Deku from All for One and it looks like Deku will return the favor. |
| Endeavor's important moments are always well done in the anime and I love that. New OP and ED are better than previous ones. |
| Imagine how boring this world would be without Japan - a comment at youtube |
| Todoroki Enji, the man that you are... |
 |
| How is Shigaraki getting more op each season to the point where now he doesn't even need quirks to obliterate everything? Like tf is this, honestly? Don't think I've seen anime with bigger plot armour for villains than MHA. Seems like either we will get more seasons with same broken af villains or they will be defeated in some bs way this season. |
