Deku's plan of punching the ceiling and destroying multiple floors in order to help Uraraka was a bit too far fetched, considering that he can't control his power at all and he isn't even sure of what will happen when he uses all of his strenght.


He does know what will happen, though. He's been a fan of heroes for years, All Might especially. He's seen All Might in action on the news and in videos countless times by this point. He's probably studied him more than anyone, and has even seen One For All used by him in person.

He can't control One For All in that it's 0% to 100%, but it's not like a beast that won't listen to his commands. Remember how he focused it in just his finger to throw the ball? If he wants to do something he will do it, it just causes a lot of damage.


If I overanlayzing Deku's plan, his plan is to use element of surprise to distraught the villain so Uraraka can retrieved the weapon and Deku's quirk is more suitable for that.
I mean, even if he can't fully control his quirk, at least he know the destructive power and also the repercussion of it.

Well, far fetched or not that Detroit smash destroying the building floors is the most awesome scene.

Now i'm 100% sure that Kacchan is a di**, he was a di**head since he was a kid. And now i doubt that he can be a good hero, everyone saw that.
He was jealous because Izuku was always "stronger" than he was even thought that he had no powers, he was always the first to help him...that's why he hates him so much. But he will stop hating him after Izuku will defeat him xD
Damn that must've been hard for All Might watching that fight!
That ending! Good job Izuku & Uraraka, what a plan xD All that time Izuku had a plan, he was just waiting for the right moment! And he did it.
Kacchan's face when Izuku told him that he can't use his full power on him, he was like "damn this kid is better than me" xD
10/10.

9 and 10 adapted this week. A good episode, but probably a bit too flashback heavy for my liking. Understandable for trying to give insight into Bakugo's character and his relationship with Izuku, but frankly I just don't like him much, never have. Regardless of the reasoning behind why he is who he is he's still a very obnoxious, self-absorbed, dense ass. Still, what action we got looked good, especially Deku's Detroit Smash, that looked great. Deku outdid himself given his handicaps and really shone through, but the cost(once again) looked brutal. Enjoyed Uraraka glomping the weapon and "evil" Iida too. But this week definitely left me wishing I had another episode to watch, and not in the good, I can wait, sense so much as only having the first course of a meal. Thankfully next week should provide me with a bit more.



Yeah but half of these flashbacks we hadn't seen, its not like Shippuden where they spend half the time replaying old scenes from past episodes. It was insightful and created good tension and backstory between clashes.


Oh I agree, but still a bit too much for me to say I enjoyed the episode to quite the same level as several others.

That episode totally paid off. I'm not sure why everyone thinks Bakugou was more evil, Iida scared the crap outta me. Not really but I love how genuine he sounded trying to act evil. It's one of those cheesy villain things to "I cleaned the whole floor so you can't use your power on anything!". It's hilarious. Onto the actual fight of physical and mental proportions!

Today we learn that Bakugou is a big snot because from the age of four, he's been told "You're the best, you have the best quirk, the best confidence, etc" and you know how it is with kids, what is said becomes reality. So Bakugou's had this vision since he was four that he was amazing/good, the epitome of a hero. Then, he see's Deku was "what you do not want to be", a quirkless crybaby. So obviously Deku manning up and suddenly having a quirk shatter's Bakugou's dream vision. This pisses him off, a little-lot.

The fight itself picked up when Bakugou used his grenade-gauntlet thing. BONES did what BONES does and showed off with the explosion, the continuing explosions, and the DETROITO SMASHUUUUUUUUUUU. That was amazing lemme say. We see Deku's genius showing as he somehow plans to do that and have Uraraka use hero Zero-Gravity on the debris to get the payload.
Once again the anime shows the damage done to Deku's body both with his smashed arm and his burnt/exploded arm. He can just never catch a break.

imagine hating someone more than anything because one time, he was nice

that's not a normal occurrence...

basically, explosion boy is in love with the MC

why didn't jet boy lift a finger except to practice his evil persona to dubstep?

gettin real tired of your shit, bakugo. would have liked to have seen him eat shit from a smash. or for izuku to win without having to use his quirk, but eh teamwork ending is good too

Your comment is the best, hands down.

One of my favorite parts from the manga animated :D I was shocked the first time reading this and seeing how resourceful Deku was in live combat and being able to combat Kacchan. It was awesome to see how he was always intent on winning and was never planning on fighting Kacchan. Awesome episode and I'm looking forward to the second half of this season :D

I think every week I just go on and on about how awesome of a character Deku is. He's easily relatable; I'm sure we've all felt like him at one point in our lives. It's almost therapeutic to see him work his way up and make accomplishments.

Not only that but he already seen with his eyes how All Might used Detroit Smash against that slimy villain and how much wind pressure that punch made. It's the same thing except Deku was directly vertical.

Hmmm... with only 6 more episodes to go, I'm a bit worried...
I hope this series branches out a bit more and doesn't just focus on the school stuff, but it almost seems like that's exactly what will happen.
If that's the case, I'm hoping this series at least gets another season. This universe it too good for it not to.

I love the development that Midoriya and Kacchan have got in the last two episode. Their relationship and why it is the way it is was handled very well imo. Kacchan is that entitled kid that is good at everything, society quite often has these types of guys. I really like how Deku coming up with is Hero books played into how he fough Kacchan and his reasoning for standing up to him was great. I know that shit caught Kacchan by surprise. That last attack by Deku to win the match was great and really sticks to what his character is about. Animation and sound were A+ quality, great fight, and character development 5/5 easy.

this one never ceases to amaze me. watching deku as he grows from the person he was in the past - not able to do anything to someone who's going to surpass every other hero out there. obviously the scene where he blows up the building by using that detroit ability of his, was particularly astonishing.

I didn't actually mind the flashbacks. I was really interested in Bakugou's backstory since while he certainly is far from the most likeable character he's definitely one of the most entertaining to watch in my eyes. I'll be honest the back stories for me didn't kill the pacing and if anything it added more meaning and tension to the action scenes. Just my own opinion.

Good episode with a good amount of back story. Kacchan is basically just a kid who has been told he was amazing and can do no wrong all his life. Like a spoilt rich kid.
Loved the scene of the Detroit smash and special comet home run. Top marks. We finally got a couple sentences out of Todoroki too as a bonus.

Ending was meh,but i liked the background story,it really got me thinking...: bakugou basically hates izuku cause no matter how good his quirk and one on one fight skills are,he'll never be a better person than izuku,and he knows and hates that.

I hate Katch-ass. I really wouldn't care if he died or got severely injured from this point on. He's an over-the-top asshole. I wouldn't be surprised either if he turned into a full-on villain after this.

Deku has improved a lot and he's a sweet kid. It's like every other character is an utter jerk save for Uraraka, All Might, Deku's mom and perhaps Iida.
