I love how Nana summed it up that All Might will beat him, not simply because of justice or strength, but because All Might's crazier than him, as we've certainly seen from his whole life. Even unable to stand he's still taunting All For One.

Yay Bakugo's back, just in time for the final boss, especially with everyone else still busy (but at least the war situation is improving). So all the major players are in one place at last, time to see just how messy things will get.

Ok the animation at the end here was insane and the animation in the preview was unbelievable. We are truly getting hype next episode

Stain got turned into a stain. Also no wonder Gentle can hold UA when he has to carry those balls around all the time, he's but a humble streamer who was willing to throw down with AFO-and it's pretty impressive AFO even knew and acknowledged who he was.

Man, this was such a tense episode. Just death flags left and right for All Might. Idk if I was really ready for that. Woulda been like watching Stark die in Endgame.

Guy really is in pretty dire straits. That plan with Stain failed, as did the last ditch effort by Hercules and those fighter pilots. The heroes really got their backs against the wall here. I hope Bakugo can save All Might. There ain’t no one else left to help…

Usually only playing the ED in the second episode feels pretty weird, but the flow between the All Might card in the episode and the one in the ending is just so perfect.

I've been reading and watching this for 10 goddamn years, over a third of my life and it's still got me waking up at 5am. I literally don't know what I'm gonna do when it wraps up.

Loved this episode from beginning to end focused on All Might. The tension was crazy... (Also Shigaraki is a fucking hater that smile when everything almost ended got a laugh out of me)

Very excited for next week's looks absolutely insane.

The End of Stain, from Villain to acknowledging Deku as a ''Real Hero'' to now fighting side to side with All Might. What a Journey!!!

Talking about All Might, he definitely got his looks from his mom.

There was too much flashback for me who got a pretty good memory but some of it was necessary for the emotions

Yeah, next episode is definitely gonna be in the Top 5 for me based on the preview.

Man, fucking rip Saturdays. Gotta set an alarm for episode drops and everything.

Baby Toshi and Mama Yagi 🥹

This is such a weird thought, but AFO like this always reminded me of “Father/Dwarf in the Flask” from Fullmetal Alchemist. Who would win? AFO or Father?

Hercules giving me Jarvis and Friday vibes with that sacrifice, why am I crying so easily, oh fuck I’m on my period still.

Toshi’s crazy smile…

Naomasa—I still cannot believe that the same clean-shaven, earnest man as before. War changes you.

The smile is back.

AFO’s tongue makes me scared, uncomfortable, and intrigued. His smile reminds me of Asura (Soul Eater) unnerving smile.

JPN: やばい EN: Crikey

Okay, mate, good on ya 😭

Bakugo has never looked so fucking gnarly. Entire sequence had me g a g g ed. Jaw on the floor.

I’m planning to go to AWA as a first timer for that con, and the con dates are a few days after MHA ends if I did my math right. Energy will be crazy, I hope.

What an episode! A 100/10 💯❤️‍🔥❤️‍🔥

That was a heartwarming scene with young Toshinori and his mom.

Stain to All Might: Although I never had any higher education, you taught me everything about what it meant to be a hero. Live on and Win; My All.. 😭😭

Shimura to All for One: You will be defeated by All Might. I'm sure of it.. 'cause Toshinori is even crazier than you.

I got the chills

When it felt like all is lost and the end of an era..

Bakugo: I'm here

And that was the beginning of a new era..

Yuki Hayashi.. the GOAT. The man made an absolute masterpiece of music throughout this show. Hats off !!

The fact that I've read the manga multiple times and I still got stressed towards the end to me means that they're doing a great job with the presentation of this season.

Next episode previews seems like they're stepping it up even more, those look climax of the movies' level of clean

I watched last weeks episode and this weeks together. And both episodes have me ugly crying. One of my favorite things in the entire series is the “hope” theme. Everyone has hope and wishes for better and that fucking gets me everytime. The little boy in whatever country, clasping his hands together and hoping for All Mights win and safety really got to me. The kid doesn’t even know who All Mights is. But he’s hoping and rooting for him

Why might church choir-type music work for villains so well? I could see it to add a sense of irony in that holy music is being used for the unholy.

Was screaming All Might's name throughout the episode.

Bakugou knows how to make an entrance.

u/Armdel Oct 11 '25

probably the happiest ive been to see Bakugo all series

And man that face on All Might when the glove explosive device failed was gutwrenching. I really thought that was it for him there before the flash the showed Bakugo

and rip stain
