The irony is quite something to see. Endeavor’s first project to surpass All Might faces his perfect creation… At least that’s how it started. But, both Shoto and Toya changed their paths and aimed for different goals.

Dabi’s rage was intense and represented by the simple fact that his flames are hotter than Endeavor’s (also due to him not having any senses). All of Endeavor’s sidekicks along with Iida are there to back Shoto up as he prepares his version of Flashfire, one that produces COLD FLAMES.

Finally he’s found a way to combine his ice and fire despite the two being conflicting powers. He’s harmonizing his power and come to terms with who he is and what he wants to become. This fight wasn’t just about stopping Dabi, but for Shoto to move on with the rest of his laugh and become the type of hero that he wants to be.

Now that Dabi is out of the picture, that leaves the fight against All For One. What can they do against his army of quirks? Does Endeavor actually have what it takes to stop him or will Deku have to stop both All For One and Shigaraki?

It was interesting to learn that Dabi was originally gonna be All For One’s vessel, but due to his desire to die contrasting All For One’s desire to live forever, that changed things. Also Dabi was too deranged to be manipulated.

Let’s see how the rest of this finale goes…

A very strong episode with a lot of emotional moments. Todoroki and his family drama is something I've always enjoyed so I loved this episode.

Awesome episode. Animation absolutely went totally fucking nuts, Dabi is one of the best characters to watch on screen. Wish there was like slightly more movement in this fight and less talking / flashbacks but lol still a fun watch.

I'm super late on this thread but I hope it's not too late to compliment this amazing episode. True, it's not action-packed as someone wish it to be but in my opinion the investment in emotion is more important than action in this context.

Honestly pretty good episode. Dabi and Shoto face off for an epic battle and Shoto wins.

Shoto is my favorite character in this show, but the episode was so slow, that it was just "alright".

Dabi….such a tragic character. I feel sorry him. He was a product of Endeavor’s horrible parenting. All he wanted was to be accepted by his father.

Even after he survived, he rejected AFO and only wanted to be guided by his father. But even after Endeavor thought Dabi died, he carried his child abuse to the other children, who could have also ended up being just like Dabi as well.

Fortunately, Todoroki had good people around him and stepped up to be the one to take charge of not only beating Dabi, but stopping his brother by force.

It was a showdown we were all looking forward to, and it did not miss!

Were the emotional speeches always so tedious in this show? It's been a while since I've watched the first couple seasons, but I swear they weren't this repetitive before... I didn't mind the flashbacks, but my god, stop standing there shouting platitudes at each other

A beautiful episode. Loved the amazing fight and the emotional backstory of both these kids. It's a heartbreaking family. Shoto faced his big brother like an absolute champ and I hope Dabi is down for good. Really amazing episode.

Nice backstory but to be fair after 3 years, it was totally understandable to stop searching for Touya. He could have just shown up then in front of Enji. Yes he was an asshole but he would've welcomed him back with open arms.

Animation picked up coz damn Dabi's moves looked sick. Shoto's Phosphor looked amazing. Easily one of the best fight scenes across the series.

This episode was so well done. Definitely carried more emotional weight than in the manga, at least to me. Shoto's dialogues were so good and him thanking class A for always helping him was nice. People always say how far bakugou has come but honestly I think Shoto and the Todoroki's have had better growth and it was really well done.

you would hope the climax of Dabi's story is less flashbacks and more action. the action was whack and the fighting wasn't particularly well choreographed. Shoto's new power reveal was pretty trash and this was mediocre.

Till now watched till episode 8 and have to say the fights are going very insane till now, starting 4-5 ep were build up and real action begins. I can't wait to see more ep of this season, but only 13/21 ep have released so far, and according to my calculations, hopefully the last ep would be on 12 October, and I couldn't bear the suspense so I would watch it once whole season is released. I want to enjoy it to fullest and watching it with all eps lined would be amazing.

Ah... Todoroki's brother past and what led to this fight was good before the conclusion, of course Todoroki won that fight but his final arctic attack was just impressive.

This one is one hell of a cool fight featuring coldflame and, the flame. Never expect the past story of Dabi coming from the doctor tho. Which surprisingly all truly comes from the works of AfO, that's turns out to be a failure. The story sure loves to circle back at its beginning, eh?

Dabi is indeed doing a very well done villain shenanigans there. While his half-baked lil bro for sure is the one that stop the madness of his big bro on the right spot. Its frosty. What a sweet fight within those brotherhood. So sweet its actually quite burning, and, freezing..

Now onto the another next location, shall we?

I haven't watched a duel this emotionally charged and beautiful since Zuko vs Azula. Holy shit. I've got tears in my eyes. Actual tears. The music, the imagery, the characters. This was art. Holy shit.

I was expecting something a bit different, but i guess they had to try to make it more emotional than epic.

Behold of my awesomeness~

Really liked finally learning Dabi's full backstory on how he didn't die and such and the fight was pretty cool although I was really confused by the whole Cold Flame thing from Todoroki. Also the gore was amazing; Dabi looks egregious with his half jaw.

Man, I don't want Dabi to Die but he wishes.

I found this comment on Reddit so funny,
