The fact that both All Might and All For One are crippled versions of their old selves here and aren't even close to their full power and they *still* manage to do this much damage is insane. They are both the most powerful hero and villain by far, and it just paints a picture of how devastating their fight in their primes was. They're destroying buildings like they're made of paper.
There has to be a COUNTRY worth of space wiped off the map completely mangled into nothing that is the site of their 1st battle. All-Might and AFO were once capable of moving Mach 1800 and comprehending everything in an all out brawl at that pace. How that stayed out of public eye is BEYOND my comprehension because the whole WORLD must’ve felt earthquakes, high winds, and NASTY waves.
@@Kaempfdogit makes sense that nobody knows tho because all for one is completely unknown so where ever they fought it was somewhere inconspicuous because all for one was definitely hiding purposely. He is a myth in the villain world and very few people have seen him
I think my interpretation of that is that all 3 of them were thinking about acting, not just Midoriya. That's why he stops Todoroki too and Momo stops Kirishima. We don't hear their thoughts, just Midoriya's, but we can tell through the scenes that all 3 of them individually came to the conclusion that they had to act fast, all on their own. He grabs Todoroki because Todoroki has that look on his face too that he could go act on his own at any second.
I think in this case it is like Johndinner said, all three could see that their window was closing and they HAD to do sth, they just had no plan. Todoroki feels guilty and responsible about bkg. It's like Deku was saying but maybe even worse: bkg was right in front of him and he was uninjured. Yet he still couldn't get to him in time.
This is the episode where we get a glimpse of the hero that MOUNT LADY can become. Risking her "moneymaker" by taking one to the face, and saying "Prioritize the rescue" as she falls, significantly different from Episode 1 Mount Lady.
I love Mt. Lady, she’s a typical young adult. Adjusting to her life as a hero. She still also has hints of immaturity from her teenage years which I like.
For me, this was the first real moment of starting to like Bakugo. You get a glimpse into his psyche, you see that he _knows_ he is hinering allmights chances right now - and he trusts Kirishima. Kirishima, who managed to get on his level somehow and break through do him in a "Bro!" way, that no one else could
Its so funny when montana guesses something and kenny doesnt want to give it away, but him saying "i plead the 5th" or "i will neither confirm nor deny" is basically a confirmation.
That but also sometimes its just not necessary. By that point of the show you have the information. You've heard Shiggys real name so theres no spoiler in saying "yeah the previous ofa holder has the same name as shiggy"
I always feel really bad for Kamui Woods during that intro part. He really gives off the feeling that he thinks he screwed up somehow on, as far as I know, his first real big mission when he yells how sorry he is.
I love him so much and just Idk how to describe Like... cute, earnest, respect to him? Like at first when they bust through the wall it's like _after 3 seasons we finally got that Preemptive Binding Lacquered Chain Prison, good for him! Then... everything you described. _ow_
It floors me that the same guy who did Connie's squeaky screamy voice in AOT has that sort of range to go this raw and low as he does for Bakugo. It took me a hot second to even realize who it was voicing him until episode 2.
Although the Shie Hassaikai arc and season 6 have some incredible episodes, this episode and the next are probably the best in the entire show so far in my mind! These two completely change the direction of the show I think.
i really wish the bakugo rescue scene was broadcasted it would've been fun seeing aizawa and the others' reaction to these kids going absolutely nuts in such a battlefield
That could've been the end of UA, you know. "Why are children on the battlefield?" - random old woman. There's a reason Aizawa was gonna expel everyone.
Honestly, as much as we hate him, that moment from Endeavor was actually kinda cute. He's complaining about the amount of pressure he has in his task, but then when his rival is all "Hey, Endeavor, you need a hand?" he immediately switches to "Do I look like I'm struggling, Baka?"
(I thought Montana would be like 'ooo talking about his limit, what's the drawback' but she took it another way Like...Endeavor is effective compared to the guns, so if he's straining then drawing this out is a problem aaa) Hehe in JP he legit asks like "Do you need bifocals already" Like, "Where are you looking to be saying that, do you already need bifocals at your age?" As close as I can remember and I love it in jp
It's not even pressure. He legit has a limit to how much he can use his power. I don't know why it was taken by her as him being self centered. He's just letting the officer know "hey man if this keeps going I can't keep helping out". They literally had a whole arc talking about the limits of quirks and the fact that they're physical abilities. There is only so much heat endeavour can take.
In Endeavor's defense, there's probably an upper limit to how much he can use his power in a short time. Remember in the sports festival how they made a point about how Todoroki was overusing his ice in his fight with Deku?
I love the detail that when Iida holds Midoriya back, he has the instinct to grab Todoroki as well. He knows at this point that if Midoriya says jump, Todoroki's gonna ask how high?
Rewatching this is SO much easier to see Bakugos walls coming down with Kirishima. During the USJ Bakugo is just as cold but loosens up a tiny bit when fighting along side Kirishima while Kirishima is just in awe of Bakugos strength and intelligence. The way he knows just what to say to join Bakugos Calvary team knowing Bakugo would definitely be a winning team. Even their fight Kirishima is clearly trying so hard to prove himself and earn Bakugos respect. And despite demolishing him he still acknowledges Kirishimas strength. Best broship in anime.
12:55 AFO saying "because I am here" in the dub version of the fight is all the reason I need for it to be my go to. Its so damn obvious and sassy I love it.
Man, the scene of Bakugo's explosion into salvation is just so beautiful, it gave me chills Particularly love how after the explosion, he remained flying towards his friends while his body remained vertical, as opposed to the typical horizontal "flying" stance he usually assumes when propelled by his explosions I think the reason for that is that his explosion this time wasn't calculated and precise like he usually does, he released the biggest explosion possible to send himself flying as fast as he could
@4:45 after Montana spoiled the whole show with her genius streak, you looked at the camera with a look that screamed "You see why i married this girl!!!?" ahhaha
Bakugo, my beloved... Love how happy he was to see his friends show up. They're all very different, but they've all got that heroic spirit. That's probably my favorite aspect of the show, the way that all the different students express their strong will and stand up for what they believe in. I'm not a huge fan of the next couple of arcs, but there are character moments that really stand out from the typical shonen tropes.
I was seriously blindsided by how much I ended up loving Kirishima by the time I caught up, I thought his character was just gonna be a comedic accessory to Bakugo’s arc at first but he ended up really capturing my heart. It’s damn near impossible to rank characters in this show but he’s definitely up there for me!
I always loved how Chris Sabat distinguishes All mights voice just enough to not sound like Vegeta. They sound so alike and different at the same time. Truly two iconic performances.
All For One vs All-Might. Need I say more on the importance of this fight? They went all the way on this fight. And the details are as staggering as you can imagine. I had to get my All-Might teaching complaints in early because I knew I was going to be gushing NONSTOP about how he’s a hero in this battle. People think it’s stupid that All-Might kept Bakugo in the bar as he TRIED interrogating Shigaraki, but quite frankly it was a smart move. They didn’t know about AFO’s vomit warp (it’s not called that, but it’s hard NOT to describe it that way seeing where it comes from and how people react to it when they are done warping) and if AFO was possibly about to make an appearance, the only one that could stop AFO from immediately getting Bakugo is All-Might. But the warp kinda negated that. (Who knew when you have UNLIMITED UNKNOWN QUIRKS you can’t predict every move he could make?) And Tsukauchi’s claim All-Might has always saved everyone at the scenes he appears at with a literal perfect record breaks as Bakugo is taken away along with the league to the Nomu Factory. Shoutout to Endeavor for not leaving the scene to go after the bigger fish. It’s true he wants to surpass All-Might, but he doesn’t want it underhanded. All-Might is #1 in the world and has to go for the strongest and biggest problems simply because no one else can defend against them. And Endeavor is not unaware he can’t keep up entirely with the man himself as close as he’s gotten. We also find at the very least one of the EXTREMELY few quirk limitations of AFO. He refuses Best Jeanist’s quirk because it’s simply too complex to bother to learn using. AFO’s quirks are IMMENSELY overpowered and he can COMBINE them. But he has to learn how to use them. He might be 200 years old but he can’t spend unlimited time learning every power he gets. And he just HALLOWS out Best Jeanist. What a way to say I don’t need your power. Best Jeanist IS ALIVE AFTER THAT. I’m pretty sure he reflexively using his clothing fiber to keep as much body matter as he can. You know. After AFO pressed DELETE on the vast majority of it. Down goes the #4. It’s also VERY confusing to see a man whose power embodies selfishness and stands as the dark god counterpart to All-Might’s light god superpower says he does everything for Shigaraki. We all know it HAS to be manipulation of SOME kind but Shigaraki DOES view him as his father and bringing Bakugo and the league ONLY matters to Shigaraki. All AFO wanted was Search from Ragdoll from the camp attack. He doesn’t care in the SLIGHTEST Bakugo has a literal EXPLOSION power and just ignores him because there is LITERALLY NOTHING anyone can do to him. And he even makes a callout. Another destined encounter that is just SO FAR out of the IMAGINATION of Deku and Shigaraki. While it’s true Deku CAN get to Bakugo in less than a second at 5% going 92 mph, at MACH 30, THAT IS MEANINGLESS speed and every MICROSECOND counts. And Iida is HORRIFIED and tries keeping Todoroki and Deku out of the encounter. The class reps are holding them all still from even CONSIDERING an encounter. And that’s IMMEDIATELY JUSTIFIED as AFO catches ALL-MIGHT from a city leap WITHOUT MOVING AND MEASURING HIS EXACT TIMING WAS ABSURDLY SLOW TO HIM. AFO is one of like 5 characters that knows All-Might is NOWHERE NEAR his maximum power and likely has measured the EXACT amount his sustainable power has dropped from that SINGLE MOVE. Mach 30 is IMMENSE and can only be compared to a ROCKET LAUNCH INTO ORBIT for us. (And faster than MOST rockets because the range is Mach 25-30 and All-Might doesn’t BUILD to that speed, his switch from 0 to max speed is IMMEDIATE.) But compared to Mach 1800? As the ONLY true witness to that maximum everything is in slow motion to BOTH of them. If AFO so much as SHAKES as he catches All-Might, All-Might likewise knows that the match is although NOT in his favor, IS possible. And he calls out the life support mask. Their wounds are MIRACLES both survived. The gods are clashing IN THE CITY, but they could wipe out a CONTINENT at what they USED to be able to do. How their original fight was kept under wraps is incomprehensible to me. Based on JUST the collateral so far, there must be an entire countryside in devastation from them being evenly matched 6 years ago. Remember, these two are so IMPOSSIBLY strong that no one even understands they are actually fractions of their primes. All we know is OFA is the underdog to AFO. OFA stockpiles better and has caught up over the years, and AFO has substantially more versatility than the REST OF THE CAST. (Who knew the quirk STOCKPILE is the best stockpiler.) Bakugo and AFO both use “I am here” as this all goes on. AFO to muddy the waters of comfort from that phrase and Bakugo literally getting mad he thought it in that phrasing. (Yes I know why he was really upset and concerned, but if you listen to it you can totally argue he doesn’t want to use All-Might’s catchphrase until he’s ready or not at all.) Then there’s the kids. Thankfully they don’t think their best solution is to join in the fight and split up the villains. The villains were often beating the kids at the camp 1 vs many. So even numbers DO NOT save you. But the kids DO understand they are the ONLY ones capable of turning the tide with no seen backup, and have to create a next to impossible condition of rescue without combat. And it all slowly falls into place as Bakugo is ENTIRELY on the backfoot. Which he didn’t ALLOW himself to be in final exams. He has to stay back, AND is trying to not be anywhere near AFO and All-Might. (Fair. I seem to recall the kids and villains getting blown FOOTBALL fields of distance when All-Might battled the Nomu.) Now that Deku’s 5% I’ve measured at a faster speed since the Muscular fight occurred, it happens to be a much more stable balance with Iida’s recipro letting this battering ram move work much better. Todoroki has managed a much more clear shape for his ice for the 1st time on large scale attacks. (Momo is there. Sadly doesn’t get to contribute but she does get to at least maintain the buddy system with Todoroki as they run from ground zero on foot.) And Kirishima finishes off by calling to Bakugo. Deku acknowledges while he calls Bakugo his “friend” Bakugo doesn’t have the slightest SEMBLANCE of an equal relationship with Deku. But he IS friends with Kirishima. THAT is a real non-toxic relationship and a rare one thus far. And it THANK GOD goes according to plan with the heroes showing up seconds later to provide the backup needed. Bakugo is SAFE. INCREDIBLY underrated villain team move being Magne’s…Nightflight cannon? XD I don’t know Compress thought it needed a name. The magnetism stuff is REALLY cool. If you are unaware when two north sides of the magnet repel each other and invisibly push on each other. So Magne launched them doing that. And AFO does the opposite later using Toga to drag everyone off the field. It doesn’t work on Magne because she’s trans. Gran Torino takes what little time they have to talk by criticizing how he’s trained Deku. SOMEONE has to in the OFA inner circle. Hey All-Might, “Interfering where you don’t have to is the essence of being a hero.” Sighhhhh. Also cool to see Gran Torino recognized by AFO as “Shimura’s friend.” AFO is historically involved in encountering the OFA holders. And we likely now know why Gran Torino has ALWAYS kept a low profile despite his immense power. Did he KNOW AFO was back? No. But remnants of what he built could target him. Shigaraki acts IDENTICALLY to how Deku did in season 1 when All-Might was cornered by the Nomu. They feared they were going to lose a figure who had given them everything and wanted to will themselves to aid even if they could do nothing. Shigaraki TRULY cares for AFO in a way that ACTUALLY looks like a father son interaction despite the words being more akin to a slave and his master. But the MOMENT AFO plays victim it all rings hallow. AFO is showing SO many dark traits but is seemingly empathizing as well with Shigaraki…despite him being so happy to use MILLIONS of lives for his spectacle. This trait has a name. AFO is the most dangerous of them all. The Dark Empath is a 3/3 dark triad traits, and also has enough cognitive empathy to guise as an empath. It’s such a bizarre stack of traits psychology is still trying to prove these traits can exist in one person. (But if you google it, AFO is a DEAD RINGER for what the theory poses. I personally believe the theory as cognitive empathy can be learned by anyone including those that can’t properly empathize.) All-Might calls it all out as not a charity AFO does to the unfortunate, but his kingdom of abuse. To those that recognize it AND those that don’t. BUT the timer is running out. All-Might now sees his handiwork up close realizing AFO has NO FACE. And AFO is laughing him off. All-Might has landed TWO blows this ENTIRE battle while AFO has worn EVERYTHING down and caused mass collateral using ALL-MIGHT’S OWN BODY as his weapon on the people and even ends off by taunting about the woman he killed decades ago. The 7th holder and Gran Torino’s best friend. Nana Shimura. We’re not getting closer to the end, we’re close to uncovering a true nightmare of the bloody past of AFO and OFA that has long since been buried. But we have to save THAT…for next episode.
So many amazing moments in this episode. From the Bakugo rescue to All Might VS AFO to seeing Shigaraki break down. It was all wild. I just love Bakugo's moment of trusting Kirishima after all they've been through All For One teaching Shigaraki even during the middle of a battle shows that while he is still a villain, he is also a teacher. And he needs his successor to grow and bloom on his own. Into his own symbol of terror and destruction.
I use Kirishima and Bakugo’s friendship as a showing of how far Bakugo and Deku are from being even a SEMBLANCE of healthy despite Deku calling Bakugo his “friend.”
I know that I will cry next episode but I don’t remember crying at this episode when I first watched it but I cried this time. I don’t know something about the way All Might fought this ep made me tear up
All for One's 'Ah, there you are' was so much scarier in the sub, he says something like 'So you are here, too' which isich more terrifying because you think for a moment he found Deku and the others.
8:25 It such a simple scene, but people often don't realize that Iida just saved all of their lives. Holding Todoroki and especially Deku back, and bringing them back to some sort of sense. If Iida werent there, they'd probably all be dead.
Shigaraki and All For One are strictly student and teacher. Which is similar to Anakin and emperor Palpatine from Star Wars. The creator is a fan star wars and based AFO's mask off Darth Vader"s. Which let's him breath.
After watching naruto and bleach and so many friend betrayal animes, my hope for Bakugo was literally 👎👎👎👎👎👎👎👎👎👎👎👎👎⬇️⬇️⬇️⬇️⬇️⬇️⬇️⬇️⬇️⬇️⬇️⬇️⬇️⬇️⬇️⬇️⬇️⬇️⬇️⬇️. But after this episode, bakugo literally shot up my favorite character list just like how he did here.
random thing that i think is kinda sweet is that magna refuses to use magnatism on trans people so no matter what his work decides they are that thought never has to be put into their heads
3:45 Well if he overuses his power or loses control over it he can toast any of the officers there or set a shopping district on fire. It's not that it's all about him, literally it's about everyone else there he could melt if he went Plus Ultra.
"Where are you looking to be saying that, do you already need bifocals at your age?" Is the closest I can remember that "Are you alright Endeavor?" line It's funnier and less hostile in jp Also I mean-- I don't think talking about strain when he's kinda necessary here and much more effective than the guns is a spoiled thing I was a lil excited thinking she'd be like 'ooo we're talking about his drawback a little' I get it but it might be harder for me to relate to moments like this because I (not voluntarily) drop any hostility or annoyance the second a character shows smth I like or I understand them (like, Dio at the end of 1x1 of JJBA was my least hated character next to... Elaine? Erina?) For Katsuki I got him by the end or even middle of 1x2 Endeavor... idk when His reaction to Shouto saying he forgot about him, and he needs to think about whether or not thats a good thing (not EN saying it more decisive and pointed), or sending pros to Ekou Street? 1x17 makes me excited for Endeavor instead of the Stain fight 🤭 wow this is longer than I meant I was going to leave it at "this is the closest I remember the actual chill line" and then it became 'maybe these two moments were bc you still dislike him and the english line' to 'me me me, if I understand u I can't hate you'
Great reaction as always, keep up the good work! This dub version really wash away the original menacing feeling that All for one represents true evil to all society no only heros. He's the one that puts everyone on edge.
Aaaa i forgot 3:40 ... uh More like his power is doing more than the guns, which means he's leading progress there, and if he has to slow down there may be a problem (...I get it but I thought she'd be interested that his limit/strain is being mentioned and be like "ohh so his drawback might be xyz" 😞 I was a lil excited but it was minor so 3:50 English makes it sound worse In JP it was almost a joke, like "You need bifocals already?: 7:40 Katsuki's look mm 12:00 keep thinking 12:30 well at least he doesnt seem to mean it 12:50 I'm coming now (_iku_ ) which would lead to _kita_ I think I said it last time-- AllM and AFO's "I am here's" are different, but the point stays I love watching Katsuki dodging them 14:34 Izuku remembers it slightly different, with a harsher inflection iirc (i dont think EN did this) Ochaco was thinking he might be embarrassed* Not making worse, but that he might feel humiliated at being saved 17:12 just a soft fond "are you stupid or what" HELP 18:02 hehe i just keep thinking like Your hand 18:37 iirc he was also disappointed when he said it wouldn't work if _Izuku_ called to him Just so i dont have to close n open-- When Katsuki said it wasnt a rescue xyz, Kirishima just says "Nice decision!" 19:37 he said 'dont tell me what to do' then did it Just like 3x6/3x5 Also when they started walking away (when Izuku was on the phone), Kiri tries to hold Katsuki's hand 🤭 20:39 I'm so sad Notice notice notice-- aw No camera glance 21:14 and inversion
YA KNOW.....if bakugo was able to jump up that high to catch his hand in the first place.....couldn't bakugo just dip out of there with his explosions and then get out of there himself? this all just occured to me now...
This worked because villains were distracted by the rescue squad + he had where to go + some villains did go after him and if Mt.Lady didn't show up he could've been caught again and Bakugou couldn't know she would help
@@SatansBro true i guess....but they used magnetism to propel him....which is only in one direction....bakugos side blasts could have easily made him avoid that.....idk.....it doesn't add up to me, other than just a way to have team work happen even though i still don't think it was necessary bakugo was moving at like....mach 2 lol
Montana dissing everything Endeavor does. There is this fun theory that AFO is Deku's dad. It's fun to play with and since Horikoshi is a Star Wars fan, why not? I love the rescue Deku has so save Kacchan. Every time that OST plays in my Spotify playlist, I word out every time to it. Also Deku wouldn't save Bakugou, he'd say "Kacchan!" It's going to be fun learning the relationship between the League, AFO and some Heroes we know. Are you goin to watch the All Might Rising OVA or Two Heroes movie?
"He can't escape by himself." Meanwhile, Bakugo actually DOES escape by himself. Seriously, their entire plan to save him was completely unnecessary and in no way helpful. He got all the way to where the rest of the team was in 3 seconds, without effort, and was moving FASTER than they were. That was 2 blasts total from Bakugo, neither of them anywhere near his max power, and he has WAY more left in the tank. And just to remind the audience, he could have done whenever he wanted with zero risks. The simple fact is, there is literally nothing the league could have done to catch him if he just blasted away on his own, and the show even proves that during the escape attempt. He didn't even need Mt. Lady's help to block the magnet throw, because Bakugo can change flight trajectory at will, and the guy throwing people can't alter their course once they've launched. He blasts himself slightly lower or slightly higher or even just accelerates and suddenly there is zero risk of him being grabbed and turned back into marble. It's one of the dumbest moments in the whole show. They build all this hype for an event that is completely unnecessary and doesn't actually accomplish anything.
The main thing is Bakugo is so busy on defense he doesn’t see the way out. You can tell from the way he’s just keeping out of reach. The rescue plan gives Bakugo a way out he can see.
@@LokiWyrm You are literally proving my point. It is objectively bad writing to suggest that Bakugo, who has already been show to be one of if not THE greatest tactician in class 1-A (note that I said tactician, not strategist, as those are different things with different specialties), whose combat sense is as good or better than Deku's, couldn't come up with "I should just fly." by himself. The fact that he supposedly "needed" help in the first place IS the biggest flaw in the writing, because Bakugo, more than anyone, should have been well aware of how easy it would for him to escape without help.
@@kingofbudokai it’s really not objectively bad. Because there’s a psychological component you’re ignoring. This literal child has been kidnapped, teleported to a wrecked warehouse, is being attacked the same villains who were able to get the drop on him before, and is now maybe 2 dozen yards from a guy who not only just caught a hit from all might, but then proceeded to use him as a wrecking ball for a couple blocks. He’s not gonna be at his top form.

The fact that both All Might and All For One are crippled versions of their old selves here and aren't even close to their full power and they *still* manage to do this much damage is insane. They are both the most powerful hero and villain by far, and it just paints a picture of how devastating their fight in their primes was. They're destroying buildings like they're made of paper.
There has to be a COUNTRY worth of space wiped off the map completely mangled into nothing that is the site of their 1st battle. All-Might and AFO were once capable of moving Mach 1800 and comprehending everything in an all out brawl at that pace. How that stayed out of public eye is BEYOND my comprehension because the whole WORLD must’ve felt earthquakes, high winds, and NASTY waves.
@@Kaempfdogit makes sense that nobody knows tho because all for one is completely unknown so where ever they fought it was somewhere inconspicuous because all for one was definitely hiding purposely. He is a myth in the villain world and very few people have seen him
Really brings into question how he managed to keep the first fight under wraps.
@@Kaempfdogprobably jus on a remote island tbh cuz if it was on japan there’s def no way it would be able to keep it from the public lol
I take it you’ve not read the manga
My favorite little detail is when Iida stops Midoriya, he also grabs Todoroki, bc he knows that if Midoriya goes, Todoroki is sure to follow
I think my interpretation of that is that all 3 of them were thinking about acting, not just Midoriya. That's why he stops Todoroki too and Momo stops Kirishima. We don't hear their thoughts, just Midoriya's, but we can tell through the scenes that all 3 of them individually came to the conclusion that they had to act fast, all on their own.

I think in this case it is like Johndinner said, all three could see that their window was closing and they HAD to do sth, they just had no plan.
Todoroki feels guilty and responsible about bkg. It's like Deku was saying but maybe even worse: bkg was right in front of him and he was uninjured. Yet he still couldn't get to him in time.
Iida and Yaoyorozu literally said "let us be you guys' self-preservation because we know you got none".
This is the episode where we get a glimpse of the hero that MOUNT LADY can become. Risking her "moneymaker" by taking one to the face, and saying "Prioritize the rescue" as she falls, significantly different from Episode 1 Mount Lady.
And in Season 5(spoilers obv)
We get to see a bit more of that.
I love Mt. Lady, she’s a typical young adult. Adjusting to her life as a hero. She still also has hints of immaturity from her teenage years which I like.
For me, this was the first real moment of starting to like Bakugo. You get a glimpse into his psyche, you see that he _knows_ he is hinering allmights chances right now - and he trusts Kirishima. Kirishima, who managed to get on his level somehow and break through do him in a "Bro!" way, that no one else could
Its so funny when montana guesses something and kenny doesnt want to give it away, but him saying "i plead the 5th" or "i will neither confirm nor deny" is basically a confirmation.
That but also sometimes its just not necessary. By that point of the show you have the information. You've heard Shiggys real name so theres no spoiler in saying "yeah the previous ofa holder has the same name as shiggy"
I always feel really bad for Kamui Woods during that intro part. He really gives off the feeling that he thinks he screwed up somehow on, as far as I know, his first real big mission when he yells how sorry he is.
I love him so much and just
Idk how to describe
Like... cute, earnest, respect to him?
Like at first when they bust through the wall it's like _after 3 seasons we finally got that Preemptive Binding Lacquered Chain Prison, good for him! Then... everything you described. _ow_
Bakugos yell in this episode when he escapes the villains is so elite one of my favourite pieces of anime voice acting
I love that part too!! Cliff is so good at voicing him
It floors me that the same guy who did Connie's squeaky screamy voice in AOT has that sort of range to go this raw and low as he does for Bakugo. It took me a hot second to even realize who it was voicing him until episode 2.
The planning and execution of Bakugo's rescue has gotta be one of my favorite moments of the series.
For me it's second only to Deku's "rescue" in S6.
Honestly, Bakugo's rescue gives me the chills. Every. Single. Time.
Bakugou's scream when he jumps to grab Kirishima's hand literally got me emotional, even though I've seen it so many times lol
Although the Shie Hassaikai arc and season 6 have some incredible episodes, this episode and the next are probably the best in the entire show so far in my mind! These two completely change the direction of the show I think.
Agreed
This is basically the Shibuya of MHA. We no longer have the protection of "The strongest"
i really wish the bakugo rescue scene was broadcasted
it would've been fun seeing aizawa and the others' reaction to these kids going absolutely nuts in such a battlefield
Probably wouldn't have been good PR for the school lmao
That could've been the end of UA, you know. "Why are children on the battlefield?" - random old woman. There's a reason Aizawa was gonna expel everyone.
@@jordanpatterson8536 agreed
Honestly, as much as we hate him, that moment from Endeavor was actually kinda cute. He's complaining about the amount of pressure he has in his task, but then when his rival is all "Hey, Endeavor, you need a hand?" he immediately switches to "Do I look like I'm struggling, Baka?"
(I thought Montana would be like 'ooo talking about his limit, what's the drawback' but she took it another way
Like...Endeavor is effective compared to the guns, so if he's straining then drawing this out is a problem aaa)
Hehe in JP he legit asks like
"Do you need bifocals already"
Like, "Where are you looking to be saying that, do you already need bifocals at your age?"
As close as I can remember and I love it in jp
It's not even pressure. He legit has a limit to how much he can use his power. I don't know why it was taken by her as him being self centered. He's just letting the officer know "hey man if this keeps going I can't keep helping out". They literally had a whole arc talking about the limits of quirks and the fact that they're physical abilities. There is only so much heat endeavour can take.
In Endeavor's defense, there's probably an upper limit to how much he can use his power in a short time. Remember in the sports festival how they made a point about how Todoroki was overusing his ice in his fight with Deku?
I love the detail that when Iida holds Midoriya back, he has the instinct to grab Todoroki as well. He knows at this point that if Midoriya says jump, Todoroki's gonna ask how high?
“Have you come to kill me a second time” is such a badass line lmao
Rewatching this is SO much easier to see Bakugos walls coming down with Kirishima. During the USJ Bakugo is just as cold but loosens up a tiny bit when fighting along side Kirishima while Kirishima is just in awe of Bakugos strength and intelligence. The way he knows just what to say to join Bakugos Calvary team knowing Bakugo would definitely be a winning team. Even their fight Kirishima is clearly trying so hard to prove himself and earn Bakugos respect. And despite demolishing him he still acknowledges Kirishimas strength. Best broship in anime.
12:55 AFO saying "because I am here" in the dub version of the fight is all the reason I need for it to be my go to. Its so damn obvious and sassy I love it.
AFO’s lines are so much better in dub its a damn shame tbh
17:05 this is in my opinion one of the most underrated moments in the show. It's honestly like top 8 for me. Goosebumps everytime. It's so sick! Lol
On mobile so couldn't edit, it's most likely top 10 not top 8.
Bakugo and kirishima just casually hitting the best dap in history
Man, the scene of Bakugo's explosion into salvation is just so beautiful, it gave me chills
Particularly love how after the explosion, he remained flying towards his friends while his body remained vertical, as opposed to the typical horizontal "flying" stance he usually assumes when propelled by his explosions
I think the reason for that is that his explosion this time wasn't calculated and precise like he usually does, he released the biggest explosion possible to send himself flying as fast as he could
@4:45 after Montana spoiled the whole show with her genius streak, you looked at the camera with a look that screamed "You see why i married this girl!!!?" ahhaha
Nana Shimura: Nana also means 7. I believe she is the seventh weidler of One For All.
*Nana* Shimura
*Ya* gi Toshinori
Izu *ku* Midoriya
Yep
7, 8, 9
I wish we could do italics and bold next to other letters
Montana figuring out the main theme and the fall of the mha world once Toshinori(All Might) falls is amazing
I hope you all got some tissues cuz this rollercoaster ride of feels is about to get real!
Bakugo, my beloved... Love how happy he was to see his friends show up. They're all very different, but they've all got that heroic spirit. That's probably my favorite aspect of the show, the way that all the different students express their strong will and stand up for what they believe in. I'm not a huge fan of the next couple of arcs, but there are character moments that really stand out from the typical shonen tropes.
WE ARE HERE! The next episode is the episode of all episodes. Can’t wait
Yes. I've been waiting to see the reactions for this episode and the next hehe
This episode was the point my Kirashima respect had taken root.
Kiri is very manly
@@sophia_smilezhe is the manliest man that ever manned
I was seriously blindsided by how much I ended up loving Kirishima by the time I caught up, I thought his character was just gonna be a comedic accessory to Bakugo’s arc at first but he ended up really capturing my heart. It’s damn near impossible to rank characters in this show but he’s definitely up there for me!
He's really is a cool character you should check out "Kirashima song Break my body".
I always loved how Chris Sabat distinguishes All mights voice just enough to not sound like Vegeta. They sound so alike and different at the same time. Truly two iconic performances.
Shigarki"s grandmother was the previous user of OFA, she passed the Quirk onto Almight before she died
All Might and Endeavor just scream Goku and Vegeta
R.I.P., #4. You really were the best jeanist of them all. 😔
D:
I love their reactions and in depth analyses especially to My Hero, makes me really wanna see their takes on shows like Love is War!
On my first watch I just rewatched the rescue moment over and over again. To me, that was the most hype and wholesome moment of MHA so far.
This is the longest wait ever.
All For One vs All-Might. Need I say more on the importance of this fight? They went all the way on this fight. And the details are as staggering as you can imagine. I had to get my All-Might teaching complaints in early because I knew I was going to be gushing NONSTOP about how he’s a hero in this battle.
People think it’s stupid that All-Might kept Bakugo in the bar as he TRIED interrogating Shigaraki, but quite frankly it was a smart move. They didn’t know about AFO’s vomit warp (it’s not called that, but it’s hard NOT to describe it that way seeing where it comes from and how people react to it when they are done warping) and if AFO was possibly about to make an appearance, the only one that could stop AFO from immediately getting Bakugo is All-Might. But the warp kinda negated that. (Who knew when you have UNLIMITED UNKNOWN QUIRKS you can’t predict every move he could make?) And Tsukauchi’s claim All-Might has always saved everyone at the scenes he appears at with a literal perfect record breaks as Bakugo is taken away along with the league to the Nomu Factory.
Shoutout to Endeavor for not leaving the scene to go after the bigger fish. It’s true he wants to surpass All-Might, but he doesn’t want it underhanded. All-Might is #1 in the world and has to go for the strongest and biggest problems simply because no one else can defend against them. And Endeavor is not unaware he can’t keep up entirely with the man himself as close as he’s gotten.
We also find at the very least one of the EXTREMELY few quirk limitations of AFO. He refuses Best Jeanist’s quirk because it’s simply too complex to bother to learn using. AFO’s quirks are IMMENSELY overpowered and he can COMBINE them. But he has to learn how to use them. He might be 200 years old but he can’t spend unlimited time learning every power he gets. And he just HALLOWS out Best Jeanist. What a way to say I don’t need your power. Best Jeanist IS ALIVE AFTER THAT. I’m pretty sure he reflexively using his clothing fiber to keep as much body matter as he can. You know. After AFO pressed DELETE on the vast majority of it. Down goes the #4.
It’s also VERY confusing to see a man whose power embodies selfishness and stands as the dark god counterpart to All-Might’s light god superpower says he does everything for Shigaraki. We all know it HAS to be manipulation of SOME kind but Shigaraki DOES view him as his father and bringing Bakugo and the league ONLY matters to Shigaraki. All AFO wanted was Search from Ragdoll from the camp attack. He doesn’t care in the SLIGHTEST Bakugo has a literal EXPLOSION power and just ignores him because there is LITERALLY NOTHING anyone can do to him. And he even makes a callout. Another destined encounter that is just SO FAR out of the IMAGINATION of Deku and Shigaraki.
While it’s true Deku CAN get to Bakugo in less than a second at 5% going 92 mph, at MACH 30, THAT IS MEANINGLESS speed and every MICROSECOND counts. And Iida is HORRIFIED and tries keeping Todoroki and Deku out of the encounter. The class reps are holding them all still from even CONSIDERING an encounter. And that’s IMMEDIATELY JUSTIFIED as AFO catches ALL-MIGHT from a city leap WITHOUT MOVING AND MEASURING HIS EXACT TIMING WAS ABSURDLY SLOW TO HIM. AFO is one of like 5 characters that knows All-Might is NOWHERE NEAR his maximum power and likely has measured the EXACT amount his sustainable power has dropped from that SINGLE MOVE. Mach 30 is IMMENSE and can only be compared to a ROCKET LAUNCH INTO ORBIT for us. (And faster than MOST rockets because the range is Mach 25-30 and All-Might doesn’t BUILD to that speed, his switch from 0 to max speed is IMMEDIATE.) But compared to Mach 1800? As the ONLY true witness to that maximum everything is in slow motion to BOTH of them. If AFO so much as SHAKES as he catches All-Might, All-Might likewise knows that the match is although NOT in his favor, IS possible. And he calls out the life support mask. Their wounds are MIRACLES both survived.
The gods are clashing IN THE CITY, but they could wipe out a CONTINENT at what they USED to be able to do. How their original fight was kept under wraps is incomprehensible to me. Based on JUST the collateral so far, there must be an entire countryside in devastation from them being evenly matched 6 years ago. Remember, these two are so IMPOSSIBLY strong that no one even understands they are actually fractions of their primes. All we know is OFA is the underdog to AFO. OFA stockpiles better and has caught up over the years, and AFO has substantially more versatility than the REST OF THE CAST. (Who knew the quirk STOCKPILE is the best stockpiler.)
Bakugo and AFO both use “I am here” as this all goes on. AFO to muddy the waters of comfort from that phrase and Bakugo literally getting mad he thought it in that phrasing. (Yes I know why he was really upset and concerned, but if you listen to it you can totally argue he doesn’t want to use All-Might’s catchphrase until he’s ready or not at all.)
Then there’s the kids. Thankfully they don’t think their best solution is to join in the fight and split up the villains. The villains were often beating the kids at the camp 1 vs many. So even numbers DO NOT save you. But the kids DO understand they are the ONLY ones capable of turning the tide with no seen backup, and have to create a next to impossible condition of rescue without combat. And it all slowly falls into place as Bakugo is ENTIRELY on the backfoot. Which he didn’t ALLOW himself to be in final exams. He has to stay back, AND is trying to not be anywhere near AFO and All-Might. (Fair. I seem to recall the kids and villains getting blown FOOTBALL fields of distance when All-Might battled the Nomu.) Now that Deku’s 5% I’ve measured at a faster speed since the Muscular fight occurred, it happens to be a much more stable balance with Iida’s recipro letting this battering ram move work much better. Todoroki has managed a much more clear shape for his ice for the 1st time on large scale attacks. (Momo is there. Sadly doesn’t get to contribute but she does get to at least maintain the buddy system with Todoroki as they run from ground zero on foot.) And Kirishima finishes off by calling to Bakugo. Deku acknowledges while he calls Bakugo his “friend” Bakugo doesn’t have the slightest SEMBLANCE of an equal relationship with Deku. But he IS friends with Kirishima. THAT is a real non-toxic relationship and a rare one thus far. And it THANK GOD goes according to plan with the heroes showing up seconds later to provide the backup needed. Bakugo is SAFE.
INCREDIBLY underrated villain team move being Magne’s…Nightflight cannon? XD I don’t know Compress thought it needed a name. The magnetism stuff is REALLY cool. If you are unaware when two north sides of the magnet repel each other and invisibly push on each other. So Magne launched them doing that. And AFO does the opposite later using Toga to drag everyone off the field. It doesn’t work on Magne because she’s trans.
Gran Torino takes what little time they have to talk by criticizing how he’s trained Deku. SOMEONE has to in the OFA inner circle. Hey All-Might, “Interfering where you don’t have to is the essence of being a hero.” Sighhhhh. Also cool to see Gran Torino recognized by AFO as “Shimura’s friend.” AFO is historically involved in encountering the OFA holders. And we likely now know why Gran Torino has ALWAYS kept a low profile despite his immense power. Did he KNOW AFO was back? No. But remnants of what he built could target him.
Shigaraki acts IDENTICALLY to how Deku did in season 1 when All-Might was cornered by the Nomu. They feared they were going to lose a figure who had given them everything and wanted to will themselves to aid even if they could do nothing. Shigaraki TRULY cares for AFO in a way that ACTUALLY looks like a father son interaction despite the words being more akin to a slave and his master.
But the MOMENT AFO plays victim it all rings hallow. AFO is showing SO many dark traits but is seemingly empathizing as well with Shigaraki…despite him being so happy to use MILLIONS of lives for his spectacle. This trait has a name. AFO is the most dangerous of them all. The Dark Empath is a 3/3 dark triad traits, and also has enough cognitive empathy to guise as an empath. It’s such a bizarre stack of traits psychology is still trying to prove these traits can exist in one person. (But if you google it, AFO is a DEAD RINGER for what the theory poses. I personally believe the theory as cognitive empathy can be learned by anyone including those that can’t properly empathize.) All-Might calls it all out as not a charity AFO does to the unfortunate, but his kingdom of abuse. To those that recognize it AND those that don’t.
BUT the timer is running out. All-Might now sees his handiwork up close realizing AFO has NO FACE. And AFO is laughing him off. All-Might has landed TWO blows this ENTIRE battle while AFO has worn EVERYTHING down and caused mass collateral using ALL-MIGHT’S OWN BODY as his weapon on the people and even ends off by taunting about the woman he killed decades ago. The 7th holder and Gran Torino’s best friend. Nana Shimura. We’re not getting closer to the end, we’re close to uncovering a true nightmare of the bloody past of AFO and OFA that has long since been buried. But we have to save THAT…for next episode.
Are you a bot?
@@MrTechGamer180 nope. Just a guy who likes to analyze MHA
@@Kaempfdog Don't stop. I love reading these analyses.
Excelente análisis!!! Espero los siguientes!!
So many amazing moments in this episode. From the Bakugo rescue to All Might VS AFO to seeing Shigaraki break down. It was all wild. I just love Bakugo's moment of trusting Kirishima after all they've been through
All For One teaching Shigaraki even during the middle of a battle shows that while he is still a villain, he is also a teacher. And he needs his successor to grow and bloom on his own. Into his own symbol of terror and destruction.
I use Kirishima and Bakugo’s friendship as a showing of how far Bakugo and Deku are from being even a SEMBLANCE of healthy despite Deku calling Bakugo his “friend.”
Is he really though? 😶
(Fun fact: pretty much entire scene with AFO sending Shigaraki is AFO copying Nana's sacrifice for Toshinori)
Man this fight makes me want to see All For One and All Mights original fight when they both nearly killed each other even more
6:11 finally some real foreshadowing in here. xD
I know that I will cry next episode but I don’t remember crying at this episode when I first watched it but I cried this time. I don’t know something about the way All Might fought this ep made me tear up
Next Episode: All Might stamps All for One’s passport.
All for One's 'Ah, there you are' was so much scarier in the sub, he says something like 'So you are here, too' which isich more terrifying because you think for a moment he found Deku and the others.
8:25 It such a simple scene, but people often don't realize that Iida just saved all of their lives. Holding Todoroki and especially Deku back, and bringing them back to some sort of sense. If Iida werent there, they'd probably all be dead.
This is where my respect for Mt Lady grew🤌🏾🤌🏾she's the goat
One of my favorite episodes ❤
Getting my tissues ready because I know I’m going to cry next episode.
Shigaraki and All For One are strictly student and teacher. Which is similar to Anakin and emperor Palpatine from Star Wars. The creator is a fan star wars and based AFO's mask off Darth Vader"s. Which let's him breath.
This Episode IS awesome
Season 3 is peak and this episode is one my favorites
Attack on titan level foreshadowing is crazy 😂😂
That's what I was thinking 😂😂😂😂
I mean Shigaraki is the best New gen villain right now.
@@Agent-57 stop the cap
@@alfredososa3059 He is. Cope harder.
@@alfredososa3059 If you say somthing like Sukuna. I already won the argument
If this video gets claimed it might be from the "let's get ready to rumble" check that first
we've actually used that sound a lot on the channel, always works!
Magne's power = Chick Magnet
4:53 the classic villan slow 👏
18:30 - This is what he didn't do or know to do during the exam, he's starting to learn.
Every time I see this I still have a tiny tiny hope that All Might's punch popped AFO's head like a grape.
i really love all might and endevours banter
I would Love a prequel series about them in UA that would be adorable
Who needs sleep when you have anime?
I dunno what it is about the Bakugo flight animation but it is sooooooooo coooooolll
The couple of episodes where almight shows he is him
there's a reason why endeavor is like that which is why he made todoroki he doesn't have his limitations
I just have to say you may want to remove the let’s get ready to rumble sound the guy who did that loves to sue anyone using it
After watching naruto and bleach and so many friend betrayal animes, my hope for Bakugo was literally 👎👎👎👎👎👎👎👎👎👎👎👎👎⬇️⬇️⬇️⬇️⬇️⬇️⬇️⬇️⬇️⬇️⬇️⬇️⬇️⬇️⬇️⬇️⬇️⬇️⬇️⬇️.
But after this episode, bakugo literally shot up my favorite character list just like how he did here.
Yet another episode showing why i say deku is *the* top strategist in class 1a
Are you guys going to watch the movies too?
cannot wait for her reaction to season four.
Cant wait for Sunday
random thing that i think is kinda sweet is that magna refuses to use magnatism on trans people so no matter what his work decides they are that thought never has to be put into their heads
First of many reasons to love kirishima
bakugou grabbing kirishimas hand always makes me tear up a little ngl
3:45 Well if he overuses his power or loses control over it he can toast any of the officers there or set a shopping district on fire. It's not that it's all about him, literally it's about everyone else there he could melt if he went Plus Ultra.
Next, we get what I view as the best episode of the series.
"Where are you looking to be saying that, do you already need bifocals at your age?" Is the closest I can remember that "Are you alright Endeavor?" line
It's funnier and less hostile in jp
Also I mean-- I don't think talking about strain when he's kinda necessary here and much more effective than the guns is a spoiled thing
I was a lil excited thinking she'd be like 'ooo we're talking about his drawback a little'
I get it but it might be harder for me to relate to moments like this because I (not voluntarily) drop any hostility or annoyance the second a character shows smth I like or I understand them (like, Dio at the end of 1x1 of JJBA was my least hated character next to... Elaine? Erina?)
For Katsuki I got him by the end or even middle of 1x2
Endeavor... idk when
His reaction to Shouto saying he forgot about him, and he needs to think about whether or not thats a good thing (not EN saying it more decisive and pointed), or sending pros to Ekou Street?
1x17 makes me excited for Endeavor instead of the Stain fight 🤭 wow this is longer than I meant
I was going to leave it at "this is the closest I remember the actual chill line" and then it became 'maybe these two moments were bc you still dislike him and the english line' to 'me me me, if I understand u I can't hate you'
I can’t wait until you guys get to season four season four is one of my favorites
I love this episode so freaking much
Great reaction as always, keep up the good work!
This dub version really wash away the original menacing feeling that All for one represents true evil to all society no only heros. He's the one that puts everyone on edge.
AFO is a million times better in English. Enhances the character in every way.
Grandmaaaaa 💀😭
Aaaa i forgot
3:40 ... uh
More like his power is doing more than the guns, which means he's leading progress there, and if he has to slow down there may be a problem
(...I get it but I thought she'd be interested that his limit/strain is being mentioned and be like "ohh so his drawback might be xyz" 😞 I was a lil excited but it was minor so
3:50 English makes it sound worse
In JP it was almost a joke, like
"You need bifocals already?:
7:40 Katsuki's look mm
12:00 keep thinking
12:30 well at least he doesnt seem to mean it
12:50 I'm coming now (_iku_ ) which would lead to _kita_
I think I said it last time--
AllM and AFO's "I am here's" are different, but the point stays
I love watching Katsuki dodging them
14:34 Izuku remembers it slightly different, with a harsher inflection iirc (i dont think EN did this)
Ochaco was thinking he might be embarrassed*
Not making worse, but that he might feel humiliated at being saved
17:12 just a soft fond "are you stupid or what" HELP
18:02 hehe i just keep thinking like
Your hand
18:37 iirc he was also disappointed when he said it wouldn't work if _Izuku_ called to him
Just so i dont have to close n open--
When Katsuki said it wasnt a rescue xyz, Kirishima just says "Nice decision!"
19:37 he said 'dont tell me what to do' then did it
Just like 3x6/3x5
Also when they started walking away (when Izuku was on the phone), Kiri tries to hold Katsuki's hand 🤭
20:39 I'm so sad
Notice notice notice-- aw
No camera glance
21:14 and inversion
Keep in mind the method they used to save bakugou ... i will just say it
i just noticed all might VA is the same a vegita's
Next episode is gonna be great!
17:03 Shigaraki should be f**king dead.
Is it just me or is the LR sign and play button in the back askew?
it was for this episode! it has since been corrected haha, the cats hit it
YA KNOW.....if bakugo was able to jump up that high to catch his hand in the first place.....couldn't bakugo just dip out of there with his explosions and then get out of there himself?
this all just occured to me now...
This worked because villains were distracted by the rescue squad + he had where to go + some villains did go after him and if Mt.Lady didn't show up he could've been caught again and Bakugou couldn't know she would help
@@SatansBro true i guess....but they used magnetism to propel him....which is only in one direction....bakugos side blasts could have easily made him avoid that.....idk.....it doesn't add up to me, other than just a way to have team work happen even though i still don't think it was necessary
bakugo was moving at like....mach 2 lol
Out of curiosity, does anyone know what the track starting at 15:57 is called???
According to TV Tropes: “I Don’t Need Pretend Friends.”
@@LokiWyrmthank you so much!!! I found it!!!
Montana dissing everything Endeavor does.
There is this fun theory that AFO is Deku's dad. It's fun to play with and since Horikoshi is a Star Wars fan, why not?
I love the rescue Deku has so save Kacchan. Every time that OST plays in my Spotify playlist, I word out every time to it. Also Deku wouldn't save Bakugou, he'd say "Kacchan!"
It's going to be fun learning the relationship between the League, AFO and some Heroes we know.
Are you goin to watch the All Might Rising OVA or Two Heroes movie?
Do you have any plans to react to the movies and OVAs
The *shipping* this episode started, you've no idea.
Any one else thinking they should react to Re:Zero after Code Geass is finished
you are about to cry a lot
Endeavor hate for no reason. Dude is literally soloing nomus and she still has to make up a reason for him to be the bad guy in this specific moment
He brought this upon himself. He's a hill.
Did you two watch the two heroes movie? Or are you gonna watch it at the end of the season?
Where tf is dabi btw? 11:13
Compress put him in a marble. Idk the time, but i noticed it earlier
@ huh ok
Watch voltron the defender of the universe
Nice
Attack on Titan Finale when?
there was a community post thingy about it earlier, they're trying to get it up this week
nvm its coming today lol
Will you guys be watching the movies for MHA.
React to season 6 Play My hero academia
For a few weeks the LR and the TUBE plate is crooked, plz for your fans FIX IT
Yours truly ❤
its actually been fixed for a bit now, we just filmed this a while ago!
@@LettsReact ya just saw the episode of AOT. And everything was O.K
This episode is called
"B.R.O. (Bakugo Resque Operation)
(not my line but it has to be told on)
"He can't escape by himself." Meanwhile, Bakugo actually DOES escape by himself. Seriously, their entire plan to save him was completely unnecessary and in no way helpful. He got all the way to where the rest of the team was in 3 seconds, without effort, and was moving FASTER than they were. That was 2 blasts total from Bakugo, neither of them anywhere near his max power, and he has WAY more left in the tank. And just to remind the audience, he could have done whenever he wanted with zero risks.
The simple fact is, there is literally nothing the league could have done to catch him if he just blasted away on his own, and the show even proves that during the escape attempt. He didn't even need Mt. Lady's help to block the magnet throw, because Bakugo can change flight trajectory at will, and the guy throwing people can't alter their course once they've launched. He blasts himself slightly lower or slightly higher or even just accelerates and suddenly there is zero risk of him being grabbed and turned back into marble. It's one of the dumbest moments in the whole show. They build all this hype for an event that is completely unnecessary and doesn't actually accomplish anything.
Yeah, I've always found that escape to be weird.
The main thing is Bakugo is so busy on defense he doesn’t see the way out. You can tell from the way he’s just keeping out of reach. The rescue plan gives Bakugo a way out he can see.
@@LokiWyrm You are literally proving my point. It is objectively bad writing to suggest that Bakugo, who has already been show to be one of if not THE greatest tactician in class 1-A (note that I said tactician, not strategist, as those are different things with different specialties), whose combat sense is as good or better than Deku's, couldn't come up with "I should just fly." by himself. The fact that he supposedly "needed" help in the first place IS the biggest flaw in the writing, because Bakugo, more than anyone, should have been well aware of how easy it would for him to escape without help.
@@kingofbudokai it’s really not objectively bad. Because there’s a psychological component you’re ignoring. This literal child has been kidnapped, teleported to a wrecked warehouse, is being attacked the same villains who were able to get the drop on him before, and is now maybe 2 dozen yards from a guy who not only just caught a hit from all might, but then proceeded to use him as a wrecking ball for a couple blocks. He’s not gonna be at his top form.
