| Deku's arrival this episode triggers a lot of emotions. Not surprising at all after all the shit that went down and what he sees. This episode deserved one of its iconic soundtracks so I'm glad to hear it again. Deku's so fired up that he seems like his life was ready for this moment. Quite a hyped episode imo with him facing off against Shigaraki. They have a long history and this episode reaches its climax. |
 |
| Deku's finally made it at last. The manga never had these like two minute recap's at the beginning of the chapters, so I never really truly realized how much in shambles this world was at the same time lol. That aside, wouldn't really be a shounen without the typical "MC seeing one of the side characters "dead" or heavily damaged thanks to the villain so they go rage mode moment", now would it. He didn't really go rage mode though. This is MHA we're talking about after all. Deku don't need no rage mode though. Not only did he go crazy, but animation went crazy as well. And ofc... you ALREADY KNOW SHIT'S GOING DOWN WHEN YOU SAY RUN STARTS PLAYING. Indeed it did because, MY FUCK BONES. First cour might have been handicapped thanks to the movie, but this second cour hasn't missed so far in terms of animation. This being the best animated episode of not just the season, I'd say arguably top ten in the show as a whole. Sas fucking uga Bones. I know you had it in you. Deku's time ot shine is over though sadly. Onto the mutants it is. |
 |
| Now this a spectacle worth waiting for! the culmination year in the making put on display through the nth degree of production quality! Truly an amazing experience.  |
| I will not forgive Bones for not animating the famous Blackwhip heart scene. |
| ah i specifically remember when this chapter first dropped because bro went 2nd and 3rd gear, come get your boy luffy. |
 |
| I suspected crap when Isuku started with the recap, but overall, I really liked the episode. For a moment I thought that he was about to do a Kame Hame Ha. Could he extract kid Shigaraki from All for One masive finger body? I guess that the next episode will be about character reveals. |
 |
| finally deku completed all the quirks of one for all still my favorite quirk is fajin |
| My favourite episode of the year and man did we get some treats in 2024 but Bones went Plus Ultra on that episode, mixed with such an anticipated fight i was on the edge of my seat the whole time, just great |
| Deep dark fantasies |
Oda is a GENIUS 🤯🐂👊 |
 |
| Eyyy...some solid punches! |
| "The future is always blank. Only your willpower can leave footsteps there." "Ruling over death means ruling over life. Death is the climax of life. To have the best death, you must honor life." |
| After yet another break, it’s nice to finally see Midoriya versus Shigaraki, or would that be All For One, maybe both lol, and the timing of Midoriya getting there was thanks to Star’s high flying brothers, even after her death she’s still making a big difference. After the onslaught that Shigaraki caused, I do love to see him get a can of whoop-ass opened on him with an even more improved One For All thanks to the Gear Shift quirk, I was a little confused as first but we got an explanation for it very quickly. And afterwards I loved that Midoriya made use of pretty much every quirk within One For All to deal that final blow on Shigaraki, and it looked quite awesome too, it really feels like a culmination of everything Midoriya has learned, even getting the Detroit Smash in there. I also just liked seeing every past user of One For All for that visual too, very badass. It’s just unfortunate that despite how things have really shifted in the heroes’ favor in the coffin battle, every other front is looking bad with the villains making a comeback, this episode felt like we were nearing the end of this war but not quite yet lol, the next episode looks like an interesting one tho, I’ve been wanting to see the fight against Spinner for a while now since they cut away from it. |
| what a hyped episode !! so banger and lit !! |
| Well this episode was about Deku punching Shigaraki and not much more. Not that I'm complaining because it definitely came across as a rather epic and climactic moment but there wasn't a lot else going on. |
 |
| Probably the best episode coming from this season considering the full impact of the Detroit smash. Using the abilities of the different One for All previous wielders is something I have been craving for and here it is in full force. The "not One Piece" quirk, float, tailwhip, smokescreen and charge all used in unison can make for quite the spectacle whenever the hero speech is not put in full force. With that punch one would think that the matter should've been resolved. But this is MHA so of course it isn't and there's some other bullshit quirk to deal with now. |

| About time some planes showed up to give Deku a lift. He was traveling alone for so many episodes. That fight scene with Shigaraki had so much impact. I liked how Deku channeled so many quirks to beat him up. But he's still not quite done yet. Too bad the next episode won't follow up on that. Though I would like to know how Endeavour is dealing with All For One. I hope that's gonna be the episode after the next. |
| Again the anime made a better job than the manga on action scenes. |
| Imagine how boring this world would be without Japan - a comment at youtube |
| Sheesh what an episode. It's episodes like this one that really made me fall in love with this series back in its earlier seasons, and while that love has waned over time, I can most definitely appreciate episodes like this where the animators go crazy. And the icing on the cake for any hype action scene in MHA will always come in the form of You Say Run playing in the background. I'll never get tired of hearing that iconic OST. Easily the best episode of the season up to this point. Let's keep going strong. |
| 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. |
| I'm glad that this episode showed how Deku got to the Coffin in the sky so quickly thanks to Star & Stripe's friends in their fighter jets giving Deku a chance to use his blackwhip on them to go even faster. That explains his brutally fast entrance while hitting Tomura at the same time. The fight itself was pretty intense and a great showcase of how well Midoriya is using his quirks to batter Tomura as hard as he can. It was a visual spectacle when he unleashed his Detroit Smash twice, but despite looking to have won, the fight isn't over by any means. Next time, we should see more of what Spinner has become and how the other heroes are handling that particular location. It should make for another tense, but satisfying episode, hopefully. |
| Half recap episode after 2 weeks. Still okay. |
| “Do what feels right in your heart. You will be criticized either way.” (Eleanor Roosevelt) |
| I hate cliffhangers but it was nice to see midoriya getting help from the stealth bombers and showing up with the smash lol. Nice to see they didn't totally write off the USA. I was waiting for the "United States of Smash" but we didn't get it but it was cool seeing the former one for all in that wicked punch. |
 |
| omg that ep was SO GOOD, i love the new op as well. |
| Worst shit ever. How crap Deku looks aside, the animation hit rock bottom. Meaningless effects and suddenly punching Shigaraki works. "I want to save that boy" - how Deku separates All for One and Shigaraki as if the latter wasn't an evil murderer even without All for One's involvement, absolutely infuriating. And STOP pretending that Bakugo will die. As if this anime has the guts to do that. Now even the guy fixing his heart might survive as opposed to what was said last week. |
| If you haven't watched "Fantastic Children", don't talk about "best anime". Thank you. |
W episode they did Gearshift justice I hope they continue with this type of pacing  |
| I was hyped but too much flash backs and replaying old stuff. the OP/ED still banging can't skip them. |
| man this went hard though ..... happened and i just coundnt enjoy the first half but when midoriya came that was quite epic the fight was nice too much smoke though |

did they miss something?
@Volts71  They missed this specific panel from the manga. |

| @Sernikdomowy they effed up shoto fight too |
| Deku saw Baku ded on the floor And he unleashed his last power he was holding back (almost went berserk tho, but got brought back by ButtDude) . Also, when Tamura launched off, the entire cage slanted, while everyone was going "AHHH", EngineerGirl was still focusing on her stuff, lol. . Deku's combining every ability he have to use as one. Kinda funny... TBH... Since Deku's One 4 All, and Tamura's All 4 One. But in this moment, Deku's also All 4 One in combining abilities into one combo. (to beat All4One, you need to combine all you have as one) ___ ___ ___ ___ ___ ___ They missed this specific panel from the manga. Feels kinda like a coincidence tho... maybe the manga artist drew the heart unintentionally and the anime is just showing what it should be like when it's actually moving instead of static panels. |
