| Good to know the Big 3 are still relevant this season. Shigaraki was too much for Bakugo to take on so they jumped into this chance to help the fight. I was never a big fan of Tamaki but he was quite a badass this epsiode imo. Chereography and the fight itself also reached intense level, kinda what you'd expect against someone as powerful as Shigaraki. Don't want to underestimate Bakugo though cause he's still a badass. |

| I've had my misgivings with the MHA anime from time to time but when they cook, they fucking COOK. And I'll always give credit when credit is due, this was a great fucking episode. One of the craziest moments of the manga, and they adapted it so well. The moment in this season we've all been waiting for: Bakugo's apparent death. This came as such a shock when it first happened, the fandom was crashing out 💀 it didn't help that there was a break week right after this chapter. Deku is gonna be in for quite the shocking surprise when he gets to the battlefield. One thing I've always admired about MHA is when Hori makes emotional callbacks before a big character moment. Seeing Bakugo with All Might's vestige, holding out the card for an autograph, before "that" moment happens right after and we see the worn out card fall to the ground, makes the moment hit that much harder. Now the question remains, will he remain dead or will they find a way to bring him back? MHA has never been much of a risk-taker, even when certain characters should have been killed off, so people have valid reason to question if this development will hold permanently for the series' most popular character. The OST in this episode was great, MHA's music has always been the most consistent aspect of the anime. The animation was fire as well, especially for Sun Eater's blast attack (too bad it didn't do anything lol). Just a great episode all around and after a moment like this you can't help but wonder wtf happens next. Came back to see more reactions just to find out there's no episode next week. Insane, the manga had a break week after this chapter and now the anime is about to have a break week after this episode 💀 |

| 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. |

| Finally an episode that was actually FIRE. Oka-san with his fucking outstanding delivery too. |
Now I understand the true meaning of the big three |
 |
| Ugh, that was so good. Bakugou's conversation with the remnant of All Might... ;.; Aizawa begging the others to save him because he needs to finish school and graduate and he wants to be the number one hero... Then yanking on his capture scarf as if there's anything he can do with it to help him. It's gonna be rough watching the series without seeing my boy every week, but at least the movie is coming out in early August so I can see Kacchan grinning like a feral goblin and tearing shit up like he's meant to. (I wonder how many people managed to avoid spoilers before this episode? I'm not sure if I envy them or not lol) |
| The rest of the episode was pretty good, but damn they really adapted that Bakugo sequence to perfection. Honestly, the last time Bones elevated the manga material to this degree was probably Endeavor vs High-End at the end of season 4. I've read the manga and they still made it seem shocking and impactful. As cringy as it sounds, it gave me the chills. This new director really is an improvement over the last. Here hoping they elevate the rest of the final arc to this degree. 5/5 I can't believe Bakugo is Bakugone... |

| ah yes, the iconic rip bakugo moment. |
 |
| I am crying. Kacchan really gave us the softest "Izuku" in the entire anime. |
| My favourite anime episode of all time , the chapter is also my fav chapter of all time , this episode was beautiful , that was the one i wanted to see the most this season since bakugo is my favourite fictional characters since the first episode on My hero academia all was perfect in this episode , the animation who show the powers of the heroes , or , the speed of Bakugo , the best character of MY hero academia in every way possible , from quirk design to character development and the ost who really give emotions to the viewer , i mean , i just love MHA , and Bakugo so much |
 |
| This episode was so damn good. But it also made me finally understand why MHA sucks in general now: Nobody is allowed to achieve anything but deku. Just kill the brat off and focus on the way more interesting side characters pls. Bakugo dying without achieving anything, just stop. |

| Very good episode. :( |

| This episode was literally breathtaking, I knew what was coming because I've seen all the manga spoilers of this episode already but I still wasn't prepared for this. The way that they captured the big 3 was just amazing. The backstory that we saw and how they were so strong together. Also tamaki/suneater with his vast hybrid: plasma cannon I really didn’t expect that. And of course Bakugou.. my heart was on edge when I saw him fighting with Shikaragi and when his tears fell I literally sank. And he even got stronger at THAT exact moment before he “died” i was honestly speechless and the way Horikoshi made it even more heartbreaking with the scenes of bakugou’s flashbacks with Izuku and the sound of his heartbeat we heard on the background, also the voice actor of Bakugou.. wow I don’t even have the words it was just so captivating in that scene. Bakugou’s voice normally is so rough and at that moment it was so soft, angelic almost I can’t even explain it and the almight card how it fell right next to Bakugou. Also the weather announcement that it was going to rain and his parents on the screen with his mom Mitsuki saying: “that kid doesn’t like the rain.” no stop my heart couldn’t handle that. After all of that Jeanist ran to Bakugou and felt with his hand if his heartbeat was still beating and then the thunder and the way Jeanist was so shocked and looking at Bakugou and then it started to rain while Bakugou was laying there on the ground “dead”… I’ve already seen the manga spoiler of Bakugou’s death without color (ofc) and all the fanarts with color but the way Horikoshi did it hurt so much more. I think it is because of his eyes, they aren’t that bright red color anymore and he’s so pale, paler than normal. All by all this episode was one of the best I’ve seen from Horikoshi, the animation was chefs kiss*. Bakugou is such a well written character and his character development is not like any other and I love him with all of my heart. I’ll wait till he’s back. |

| So when is the plot armour for villains gonna disappear? Shigaraki might as well be immortal at this point while he is WITHOUT his quirks, like come on man... Bro could receive a nuke in his face and would come out barely scratched. Then we have his dumb growth or whatever which is also beyond broken. It's kinda hard to take this seriously or care about characters and their deaths when you have villains with unreal plot armour. |

| I am sobbing right now. That is all. |
Shame that doesn't last. |
| The line below is True. The line above is False. |
| damn even the big 3s best attacks especially suneaters plasma cannon and motivational speeches are no match for shigaraki bakugo died or is he? |

I would guess he did since villains have more plot armour than any other characters.
| @GTRaijin cannot say anything without spoilers but just wait i guess |
| Yeah so sad… actually or maybe not. Btw, when I look back this really was one such chance for the author to redeem this manga for good.. oh well. |

| @IzanaSolos no episode? Why |
How about reading a bit more?  |
|
| holy shit that was a good episode it looked amazing and felt amazing i am still doubtful that he is actually dead, but you never know D: 10/10 not sure why this season’s score isn’t higher! |
 |
| Wow, was not expecting the episode to end like that, I was thinking maybe one of The Big Three would bite the dust but no, it was actually Bakugo. Now seeing the episode preview showing that Dabi is somehow still alive, I don’t doubt that Bakugo can also somehow be brought back, that’s what I’m expecting anyway, but if they actually have the balls to keep him dead then I would respect it. That being said, this was another banger episode, it looked great, Bakugo’s wild moment near the end was very cool, and I really liked the bits focused on The Big Three, seeing them all come together to take on the greatest danger to the world was quite awesome. And along with their moments we also got a bit of backstory, mainly for Nejire which made me kinda sad seeing her bright cheerful personality be shut down, but it ended up being for all three of them which was nice. And Tamaki’s combined attack was awesome as well, it’s just unfortunate not even this was enough to do much to Shigaraki, I guess Midoriya really is the only one, it’s honestly giving me DBZ Nappa vibes where no one but Goku could take that man on, only it’s more frustrating here because Shigaraki has been the villain for such a long time and you really wanna see this man hurt, Lemillion did hit a nerve with the no friends line which was funny but besides that, it’s like we’re still where the fight started but Bakugo is out and everyone else is beat up. And we unfortunately have a break next week from what I’m seeing folks saying, what an episode to pull that on lol, but I’m definitely excited for the next one nonetheless. |
| I doubt hes dead but this was still a really strong ep and probably the most ive enjoyed one since like season 3 when the series dropped off in quality. |

Sad taste you have there kid you came up to me in the first place making you look more like a kid who got slapped without me even knowing it and start crying about it to me |
| This is the best episode that I've seen for the 7th season of My Hero Academia, but it was also a sad and brutal one at that. Despite some excellent set-ups from the big 3, especially with Lemillion making his appearance in epic style, any attack that the heroes used on Tomura wasn't enough. Lemillion did succeed in making Tomura angry with his choice of words, which was unexpected and a bit funny, but other than that, it was another reminder as to who Tomura is almost unstoppable. But Bakugo certainly gave it his all and the way that he went all out, even in the condition he was in, was very impressive. Same goes for the production values for this episode, where the action was very good overall. Sadly, it does look like Bakugo suffered a fatal hit, which was a painful way to end this episode. =( The next episode's preview doesn't look good for the heroes by what was shown. Here's hoping that Deku arrives as soon as he can before things get any worse for the heroes and their morale. |
| I cried. I just couldn't hold it in ::::::( BAKUGOUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU!!!!!!!!!!! 😭😭😭😭😭 |

| I only have three words: WHAT THE F*CK??!!!! |
| damn midoriya must be coming from the damned moon 240,000 miles away because he sure is taking his time. I don't like how shoenen has this habit of showing backstory right before someone dies, it's like they (as a writer) are just flying by the seat of their pants (sorry jeanist) and I don't think it was needed for captain explosivo. One of the best written characters...I'm glad the material has actual consequences, even if it hurts. It would feel cheap if he got revived somehow but I really do think he has what it takes to be number one hero. In some way, I don't know what, he reminds me of Endeavor. |

IzanaSolos said: As much of a clown show I thought this fight was in the manga, the anime actually made it somewhat decent with the good sakuga and animation. Sasuga Bones. And yes… Bakago… is ‘dead’. Hit me harder than I thought it would, but it’s the hard truth.  No episode next week btw :( Bakugo,is dead yes..but he will revive.🫡 |

| It's Bakugover... he's Bakugone. Pretty decent adaptation, I just think the preview shouldn't spoil that much. |

This episode was so damn good. But it also made me finally understand why MHA sucks in general now: Nobody is allowed to achieve anything but deku.
Just kill the brat off and focus on the way more interesting side characters pls.
Bakugo dying without achieving anything, just stop.

| @Comander-07 Comander-07 said: This episode was so damn good. But it also made me finally understand why MHA sucks in general now: Nobody is allowed to achieve anything but deku. What exactly would you like them to achieve facing basically a god? Are you new to shounen genre? It always was about main character and it will always be. Others are there to enhance the story, push MC forward, support him but they will never be at his level. There are exceptions but they only prove the rule. I'd say MHA still does a better job than most other series trying to keep side characters as relevant as possible even when we are in "peak power" arc where things go completely out of whack and MC and his archnemesis reach levels unobtainable to anybody else. "MHA sucks in general now" - we knew from chapter 1 that nobody (except for one person) can stand against All for One. I swear people are delusional or the series makes really good job at giving people a slivers of hope that other heroes can achieve anything against him. How many times Tomura has to explain they stand no chance against him because his power is comparable to All Might at his peak? He said it like 3 times this episode alone and some people still not get it, when it's all laid out in front of their eyes. |
