| Pretty great episode! I have to say that the OST at the end was really nice and fitting! Animation was pretty good too. It's good to see that even pro heros like Nighteye can still learn something from their quirks... the future he can see, can change! I do have to say though, this arc as a whole, I expected it to be better! But it was still pretty great! |
 |
| Probably the best episode of this arc, that final attack was a spectacle. |
| Deku looking like a super saiyan was a tad humorous, but it was an amazing fight nonetheless. I definitely haven't been feeling the hype for this arc in the anime as i did in the manga, but this fight made up for everything that came before it in my opinion. There's still more episodes until this season ends, hopefully it can get boosted from an 8 to a 9 and sit along with all the other season's scores for me. |
| Fantastic ass 9.5/10 episode |
| ONE PUNCHHHHHHHH tana tanan tanaann Consecutive normal punchs |
Shadzzo said: Yikes that english song was so out of place and loud. Completely destroyed the scene for me and i prayed for it to end. Such a disappointing season. The pace was bad (this arc had pacing issues in the manga too infact it was even worse), animation was nothing but a shadow of the previous seasons (some parts felt like powerpoint slideshow lmao) and average at best fights. Honestly even Fatgum's fight was better than this "Main fight" of the season. I can understand why mangaka of bnha Horikoshi said that he disliked drawing and writing this arc Really? he said that? Could i see the source? Could anyone give the source? |
FrivMAnt2 said: The people complaining are judging it like it's something that should've been a godsend. More like, we're judging it like it should have been the climax of an arc of a series known for incredible action sequences, done by a well-regarded studio known for great animation. Judging a series by the standard it set itself in earlier seasons isn't unreasonable, I think. |
The comparison you made was not fair. The manga aims to elevate a still image, while the anime aims to elevated moving images(sequences). What you did was freeze a specific image in the sequence, a instance in which the animation zoomed out, an instance that lasted less than a second cuz it was meant to be viewed in motion. This youtuber's vid explains more thoroughly. please watch to the end to see that your criticism is invalid and uninformed. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nN4MkyfBNac |
| The OST was pretty good, and the episode was decent in my opinion, but the sheer number of flashbacks ruined any positive momentum the episode had built. Still a solid 3/5 showing. |
| I haven't much to say but this episode is the best of the 4th season with no comparision. |

| Insane power with Eri on his back! Very cool combo of powers. Right in the feelers when Deku caught Eri <3 |
| {\_/} (•~•) {\_/} ( •-•) {\_/} ( – _ -) |
| Oh damn, so her mother actually abandoned her after she accidentally rewound her father out of existence. Ouch. Deku went PLUS ULTRA INSTINCT and it was amazing. Finally Eri saw that they wouldn't give up and let them help her |
| I had a lot of questions in regard to this ep. What does Eri quirk really do? Does that mean she can fix All Might, Nighteye and Mirio? Is it rewind injury? If her blood destroy other people quirk, then why is Deku alive with his quirk and her dad died? Her quirk is out of control and Deku is using 100% fake OFA at ease. The anime doesn't do a good job explaining it even with the random flashbacks. |

OnePunch18 said: xkazutox said: I made the post to show the reference they used from other anime since Deku himself never learn to throw multiple consecutive punch at once. Bones made it possible. He also did it in the manga  Yes, but the manga didn't show that angle and the anime made it look like it look shooting beam fists assuming he doesn't have a flight ability to close his distance to Chisaki. That's why I said it was a reference. lol  |

| English song was cringe and really didn't fit at all. The song itself didn't have good musical flow and lyrics were hard to understand. Just didn't mesh well with the scene. Sakuga was good but the Paka-checker went all United States of Smash on this episode. Honestly ruined what should've been the best action scenes of the episode. |
 |
| Probably one of the best animated fights in the series. Also, probably one of the most mediocre fights in the series taking away all the Sakuga. It was disappointing in the manga too, so not unexpected. Basically, a kick and then one-shot punch. Interesting use of multiple punches I guess? I don't think that was manga originated but they wanted to emphasize Deku's power up I guess. Some pretty interesting direction outside of the shitty flashback placement. The Toga line was probably my favorite line from her. Was cool. Sucks that Mirio's shining moment sucked so much.Would've made his moment shine alot more for me. The flashbacks are really hamfisted as always although I think Eri's flashback of Mirio made the most sense since he basically rescued her. Deku's monologue for rescuing Eri was ok. Pretty surface level stuff not much different from this arc. I think the song was interesting to use, but eh. Don't really care much for it. The first "kick" was hard to tell what he did. He's about to kick then he disappears and went upward? The angle didn't look like that. Bad Flashback placement is bad flashback placement. Not much different from the rest of my arc complaints. Deku's final monologue, pretty generic this time and he isn't even talking to Chisaki. Final animation sequence, pretty good. |
| An island from a dream within a dream? I could never pass up a great adventure like this! |
| Jeez some of y'all are damn near impossible to please. This was a top 5 MHA episode. |
| *Mourning the disappointment of The Promised Neverland season 2.* |
| Nothing much to say about this episode, I liked it both in the manga and anime, good music choice, and best frame of all: |
| Very minor Nitpick in my head: Honestly, Eri's quirk should be more specified because the way it's used is in too many applications that don't really line up well. Overhaul has manipulated Eri's quirk to be able to only reverse the quirk factor in a person, but what is quirk factor. Is it supposed to be genetic DNA? Is it supposed to go reverse your genes all the way back to before and how? Even then, if Eri's power can go back all that far, how can Eri at her full power not revert Deku to the point of fetus or death like her father. Are the injuries really significant enough for her power not to rewind Years instead of seconds/minutes? I feel like Specifying the limits of her power or giving us a good measure would be better so it doesn't act as an end all be all solution like the kiss doctor where she only speeds up your body's recovery speed rather actually healing. TL;DR Eri's power was so poorly defined that she was basically a major plot device that allowed her to erase only quirks which aren't really defined either (are they genes?) and rewind Deku back for only seconds at her current full power when she deleted her father by his whole life by accident. |

shayed__ said: I'm in the same camp, this episode and arc as a whole was a big ball of nothing for me, theres aspects of it I like but it feels like everything was just sort of half baked and there wasn't enough to get me emotionally connected at all. Granted I was spoiled on a couple of things so maybe that didnt help, but at the same time I was also spoiled entirely on the all for one fight and that still had alot of weight attatched to it for me. This I just couldnt care about nighteye, mirio, and especially overhaul whose a villain I think is totally lacking in everything but his voice and design. And the whole arc felt like it was just building up and bulding even more up as its crutch only for the finale being really not anything different than what we have had before.I am either losing my enjoyment for this franchise or the episode is just overhyped and this was not even close to being one of the best fights. I remember the greatness and the tears that I shed when I watched Deku vs Todoroki or all might vs all for one. This didn't come close at all. Still a good episode though Other than the English song which I also must echo, was bad or at least massively unfitting, I dont think theres really anything that happened this episode specifically that was really wrong, but rather the arc as a whole felt dragged and lacking in energy and I really feel like its cause of how much the previous cast members feel like there isn't much purpose for them anymore combined with the whole underdog crutch for deku himself being basically over by this point so I'm not really rooting for him to the same level especially with how this big fight ends with him not overcoming his own weaknesses but just utilizing an op power up from someone else, that kind of thing can totally work mind you but her it just felt.....I dunno kind of unearned? I get what it was trying to go for especially since on a thematic level its more eri defeating overhaul than it deku himself, which is a part I like in concept more than execution, but this just felt more kind of on the anticlimax side of things for me, beautiful yutaka nakamura animation flexing aside cause that man is an animation god. Oh well heres hoping this was more a road bump more so than a sign of decline. Heres hoping future arcs are at least more entertaining for me. |

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 |
| Just fucking amazing, Deku all covered in shadow was badass |

| 1 minute cut from a known animation veteran and people are calling this the best MHA fight... Overhaul and Mirio were definitely the glue keeping this arc together. Deku/Nighteye were either misused or underutilized. Eri is still a plot device. This episode had close to Naruto level flashbacks. This was a fine episode overall but it also epitomizes the issue with this season. Also, weird music choice 4/5 |
 |
| The soundtrack at the end made it sounded like Deku is gonna become the final boss or something. |
 |
| Animation was actually quite okay this episode, but if this is where all the other 12 episodes of animation budget went, I won't say it's worth it. |
  【🇳🇪🇼 🇵🇷🇴🇫🇮🇱🇪 🇩🇪🇸🇮🇬🇳】 I accept all friend requests! - Feel free to add me! |
| welp, this episode got much more hate than i expected it to get, not that all of it is undeserving |
 |
| The beginning of the episode kinda felt awkward with Toga's quirk making me think I might've skipped an episode. Also, this episode was filled to the brim with flashbacks giving me black clover vibes *shivers* I somewhat enjoyed this episode but this anime still is so overrated. |

Oh well heres hoping this was more a road bump more so than a sign of decline. Heres hoping future arcs are at least more entertaining for me. Yup.. Pretty much summed up my thoughts. I just dont really feel invested into this arc at all. It just does not click with me. Biggest reason might be Overhaul. I just think hes super uninteresting with lacking motives. Even Stain which had much less build up was in my opinion ten times more interesting. To be honest Season 2 in general was just much superior even compared to season 3 in my opinion but season 4 has to be the weakest of them all so far. Funny enough the Mirio episode gave me more feels than this episode even though the Mirio one was pretty lackluster direction and animation wise. Like you mentioned we don't really feel invested into these new characters like nighteye etc. I miss having Iida, Todoroki, Bakugo and All Might in the focus. These are the boys that defined this show for me. It's a good thing to broaden the character cast with new cool characters like Mirio but I feel like the lack of development of the new characters and the overall plot of this arc just don't really blend that well together. Well to be honest I'm pretty sure that it's mostly the plot that leaves a mixed taste in my mouth. Also yup the music felt non existend in this episode and the music I did notice was the weird english song at the start. Compare that to All might's moment when he gave All for One the finishing punch.. Holy shit the voice acting, the music and the animation were on a fucking different level. All might in general is just a fking beast character. |
| Good, but also dissapointing. |
| the last moments made the episode worth it |
