ITS TIMEEEEE HELL YEAH Kenny the GOAT

HBelmont67

Thanks a million, you guys! 😁

David Garcia

Before I watch this, I’m wondering if they picked up on the fact that Bakugo was excluded from the intro for the first 2 episodes 🧨

David Garcia

It was in fact mentioned and noticed 🤣

Tyler

LETS GOOOO I envy the will power you two have waiting not only for the dub to drop but then extra days on top of that I dont know how you do it, cant wait for next week!

Himiko Toga

It's not that Bakugo is out powering afo, it's that afo is ignoring him 😭. Bakugo is very annoying, but not dangerous, like dark shadow would be, so afo just decided to not bother. Notice he hasn't rewound from those two attacks? They aren't a threat, but they are a time waster.

HBelmont67

I feel like Marti, the Italian guy with the dog Quirk at the beginning, is gonna be some people's "hear me out" character. 🤣

HBelmont67

I said this at the start, and I'll say it again: this season's just gonna be 9/10 or 10/10 episodes, isn't it? 🤣

yob

KACCHAN BAKUGO YESSIRRRRR

Mortis

He has rewound it’s just less noticeable when he’s this young already. Don’t just take AFO’s words as fact he’s full of shit

Vibeanaut

Bakugo's genuine smile of joy started the waterworks for me. Every time Bakugo smiled it was in a "I'm gonna destroy you" type of way. Receiving a gift passed down from All Might, his biggest idol, brought out a full, genuine, heartfelt smile.

HBelmont67

This show is just NOT the same without Clifford Chapin's Bakugo, and now that he's back, it's like he never left. 😁💥 This is not only one of the best episodes of My Hero Academia, but also one of the most satisfying.

Indifferent Denji

You might've forgot but darkshadow was one of the few characters who actually made afo panic back in season 7. Our bird boy really is the most underrated character.

Himiko Toga

That would make sense earlier, given he was 30 for like 100 years. But he was only a kid for a normal amount of time. If anything rewind should be more noticeable and working faster. And afo isn't full of shit in his own head. He is quick to admit that endeavour and dark shadow are threats that could kill him. If he truly thought Bakugo was one, he'd treat him as such. He knows what he can and cannot survive.

Justin m

I'm in the camp where i find most the time the dubbed never lives up to the sub but this definitely did

David Garcia

Fun fact, that 4 panel of shiggy AFO Deku and Bakugo was drawn nearly 3 years after the 3 panel of Yuji Todo and Mahito. Gege and Horikoshi are good friends IRL, so it’s very likely that Horikoshi was tipping hit hat to Gege when he drew that 😊.

David Garcia

Also, Bakugo doing the midair Gojo float was an anime only scene, which is likely studio Bones paying homage to studio Mappa since they animated Todo’s black flash to look like All Might in season 2. This episode was sick

David Garcia

Huge props to Young AFO’s VA for voicing an INCREDIBLE, LEGITIMATE sounding crash out

HBelmont67

Ryan Negron is the GOAT of this season

HBelmont67

What goes around, comes around

HBelmont67

I appreciate that you took the time to answer more questions than usual for this episode. With everything going on in this season and the amount of questions asked, I doubt the usual three question limit is gonna cut it this season. 😅

Kiribukai

My favorite episode has been 3x23, Deku vs. Kacchan part 2, without changing this whole time, but this one dethroned it immediately. It’s perfect! There were no flaws in it at all! 😭 The voice acting! (Clifford Chapin killed it!) The gorgeous animation! The call backs and the full circle moments! I’m a puddle 😭😭 I love that Bakugo is the one who saves All Might and at the moment is keeping AFO on the ropes. It’s the perfect character arc for him. 🥹 I remember when I learned that the ending of the second movie was originally supposed to be the ending of the manga and I thought that Horikoshi would never be able to top it, but here we are! He proved me wrong again, because I am loving how this story is wrapping up so far. Also, I love seeing how excited you both are each week for these episodes! Can’t wait for the next one! 🥹 (and I am dying at you asking the worm question 🤣 I too love worm Edgeshot, the worm the world needed. ❤️🪱)

Erin Ryan

I love how the random people voices are in different accents. Idk if they did that in sub I couldn't tell

Erin Ryan

I just wanna say bakugou DOES NOT HAVE OFA. I feel like that would take away from all of the effort he put into his own quirk to make it this powerful

Reaper88

Kenny i love the bakugo hype but all might literary punched of afo’s head and left him on deaths door to the point where he could not live without tubes and machines(his own words) this is the reason he sought out shigaraki and the whole story kinds starts. But yes bakugo is whooping his butt no doubt😂one of my fave mha episodes of all time!!!

Tyler Owens

IMO… it’s the best episode of My Hero Academia period. And then episode 4 happens

Tyler

I wish we had gotten to see Izukus reaction to Bakugo calling himself Kacchan for the first time

Tyler

I think he meant more how this is just a one sided beatdown, AFO didn’t have these moments of fear and lashing out in anger the same way when he fought All Might

Tyler

That was my favorite episode as well until this

Tyler

I feel bad for him though cause he’s said so many times that he enjoyed last season being able to talk softer and not kill his voice yelling haha

Erin Ryan

All for One: grooms shigraraki to have a strong enough will to take OFA. Also All for One: is shocked shigarakis will his strong enough to overtake his own. For a guy who considers all variables he sure is stupid

HBelmont67

Yeah, that's a GREAT touch. Last episode has some British folks, as well. (Though, forreal. WHY does the Italian dogman sound so nice??)

HBelmont67

Nah, this still takes it. Not only is Bakugo's reintroduction literally perfect, but there's some moments of iffy animation next episode. Not here, tho. This is one of the best looking episodes of the show by FAR. The animation's up there with Shoto Todoroki: Origin, Infinite 100%, and His Start, imo.

HBelmont67

"CAUSE MY NAME IS KACCHAN BAKUGO!!" That might be one of the best episode endings of any anime, and I would L.O.V.E. if Bakugo indeed changed his Hero name to this. Confession time: I've always disliked Great Explosion Murder God Dynamight. They bring Best Jeanist back in season six and have Bakugo finally express his wish as a Hero to the one person he wanted to share it with, and they make it a joke?? Are you kidding me? But Kacchan? That would be perfect in SO many ways; the ULTIMATE act of growth and redemption for Bakugo's character.

HBelmont67

I mean, his yelling does sound different, now. It's more upbeat and less abrasive.

HBelmont67

It's a reminder that he's still just a kid. 🥹

Letts React

I remember! But I think Bakugo is more powerful rn haha

Letts React

Nah he has a little bit of it his eyes from last season and art stuff from this ep, I think he has a SMIDGE of it at the very least

Erin Ryan

He fr sounds like hes having tantrum

Erin Ryan

Speed is 100% faster and his explosions are very powerful but theres is just more strength and force in dark shadows attacks. All around tho bakugou is better then dark shadow plus he doesn't need full darkness

the raven

Correct me if I'm wrong but we still haven't had a decku moment of him "I am here " like almight told him to do. I say this at the beginning of your reaction because I haven't seen this yet

Limini

Not knowing when the episodes frop is a blessing and a curse

Erin Ryan

Shigraraki looking majestic for no reason. That flowing hair and lighting on him is just gorgeous. I feel like hes finally free from All of One now and he looks so much healthier and happier

Limini

It's Great Explosion Murder God Dynamight and it's a good pun and pays homage to all might. It might sound awkward in English but it rolls of the tongue better in japanese

Limini

He saw all mights vestige before he died. he still got a smidge. Theres enough ambiguity for me to believe it lol

HBelmont67

Forreal. "Majestic" is definitely the right word; the longer hair DEFINITELY did this man good. Also, to answer Kenny's question as to how Shigiraki can see All Might's vestige: he has the All For One Quirk, too, which connects him to One for All.

HBelmont67

I think Dark Shadow is more situational, whereas Explosion is more well-rounded. In the right situation, Tokoyami definitely has the potential to be stronger.

HBelmont67

It's not just the animation that was on point this episode. The music was also GORGEOUS! The slow methodical build-up as we saw everyone around the world watching this conflict (those beautiful strings honestly reminded me of Attack on Titan), only for it to EXPLODE as Deku and Bakugo worked to save All Might sounded PHENOMENAL. And the "GO BEYOND" scene in the second half and Bakugo's Quirk evolving both looks and sounds incredible. Just . . . hats off to both the Bones animators and Yuki Hayashi for DELIVERING on adapting this episode. 🤩

Erin Ryan

I just feel like bakugou has worked so hard on strengthening explosion in order surpass deku and All Might. If he only got that strong due to one for all it sort of feels like cheating

Erin Ryan

I love how dekus smile is wholesome for everyone feel safe and bakugous is just feral making all the villans feel fear

Erin Ryan

All Might giving bakugou the last of his armor like he gave one for all to Deku

Erin Ryan

Lowkey got annoyed how that news station was like "who cares whats going on in some far away country." Like this is a world changing event that can destroy all of Japan you should really be reporting on this. More importantly THIS IS THE GOAT ALL MIGHT CARE ABOUT HIM A LITTLE

HBelmont67

The similarity I actually saw from that scene was the Full Gauntlet Melissa gave to Deku in the first movie. It's even on the same arm. I mean, both are pieces of Melissa's technology.

HBelmont67

And they're supposed to have that context?

Erin Ryan

I think so. They know Stars and Stripes was killed and all foreign hero's aren't helping because they think it's too dangerous. And it's being live streamed so they can see how strong the threats are. The fight that has been happening in Japan has been DEVASTING since season 6. I bet this level of destruction hasn't happened since All Might was number 1. I feel like not doing any report on that doesn't make sense. I'm more annoyed in the fact that they just don't seem to care that an entire country is fighting for its survival

Rahul Korrapati

I feel like saying bakugo has ofa is a discredit to him and his skill he does this with one quirk

HBelmont67

Like always, they embody both sides of All Might: fighting to save people, and fighting to win. 😁

Mortis

AFO was not quick to admit endeavor and tokoyami were threats. He only started referring to them that way after they’d already dealt him massive blows. Before that he was calling them both weak and insignificant just like he was bakugo

Himiko Toga

Endevour, no. He was shit talking him because that's his tactic. He knew he was a threat. Tokoyami, he had the feeling from the moment he showed up. He saw him as a nat, but when he got attacked, be felt how dangerous he was, then when he went full ragnorok, he knew he was a threat and continued to see him as such. Bakugo attacks him, he sees him as nothing, attacks hi. Again, still sees him as weak, his explosions don't hurt him that much. He always admits, at least to himself, when an opponent is capable of hurting him or not. Because he's smart. Egoistical and quick to write ppl off, but still smart and realistic.

HBelmont67

In this episode? Absolutely. OFA didn't save his life, nor did him make him stronger in this fight.

HBelmont67

He was reborn, like a phoenix 🐦‍🔥 💥

𝖐𝖆𝖙𝖘𝖚𝖐𝖎 𝖇𝖆𝖐𝖚𝖌𝖔𝖆𝖙

I don't see it like that's the only reason he got strong. I don't think he has enough of ofa left to really impact his strength. Just a lingering ghost like effect. Just enough to show him the vestige of all might and to show up in his explosions colors sometimes. Cause what he saw was all mights vestige. How else did he see it if he didn't have some lingering connection to ofa

HBelmont67

Bakugo and All Might are nice this episode, but I really like the scene with Edgeshot. You can hear in his voice that Bakugo is 100% sincere and genuine in thanking Edgeshot for saving his life.

Hari Viswanathan akZNIpCfAg

To be honest it wouldn't make sense for Bakugo to have OFA because As We Know That OFA can be passed on to a normal person because of the pure power in it which has improved even more than during season 6 so it will take even more of a toll on Bakugo. So This is just His Own Power which is also better because we never truly got to see his quirk awakened like this because you know he died. And it also makes sense for his character

𝖐𝖆𝖙𝖘𝖚𝖐𝖎 𝖇𝖆𝖐𝖚𝖌𝖔𝖆𝖙

It's not affecting his power *at all* but everyone that has had ofa, a part of it has lingered inside them. That's literally how it works. That's why all might could still change into his muscle form for a split second and feel what was going on inside of ofa even though he didnt have it anymore. So why wouldn't it work for bakugo like that. That's the only way he'd be able to see all mights vestige to begin with

So why wouldn't it work for bakugo like that. That's the only way he'd be able to see all mights vestige to begin with. It's not boosting his skill, the skill is all his. Ofa is just like a lingering ghost.

Saiyasha

But that's exactly it. _Foreign Heroes are refusing to help._ And with that it becomes a 'them' problem. I'm not sure where you live, but say it's America. Now try to imagine that you see on the news that a terrorist Organization had taken over Japan. Would you be worried? Probably. Would you be "Oh my god, we're next!" worried? Probably not. It's too far away. I'm not saying you're not right that this _is_ a worldshattering event, but to this everyday people, life goes on. That's just how it is.

Saiyasha

And that smile. It's so easy to forget that Bakugo and all the other kids are _16._ But that boyish smile... he _is_ still a teenager, maybe more mature than he should be due to circumstances, but at that moment, he's a kid who got a gift from his favorite Superhero and it nearly made me bawl.

Jinchuriki87

Im with others, of course he doesn't have full on OFA...but id say he has the carbon copy. He was able to see All Mights vestige, AND we see his eyes doing the same thing dekus does when he taps into OFA at 100%

Jinchuriki87

Hoooooly SHIT Bakugos VA was absolutely phenomenal! (As expected, but damn...i had to rewatch immediately. Shit gave me chills!)

Gestrid

You are correct.

Gestrid

Deku probably can't even hear Kacchan. Honestly, he's probably focusing 100% on Shigaraki, based on that short scene with Deku considering his options. He knows he can trust Kacchan to win to save people.

Gestrid

I'd argue it surpasses ALL of those episodes. This is (so far) the single best episode of My Hero Academia.

Gestrid

I wouldn't even say he has a copy. He has less than what All Might has. I would chalk this up to another "the movies are canon" moment: Bakugo temporarily experienced the strength One for All gave him in that movie, but then lost it soon after. However, as others have said, it left a "ghost" behind, same as it did for All Might (but to an even lesser extent because he didn't have it for very long).

Gestrid

I doubt they did it in the sub.

Gestrid

Literally the flames of rebirth.

Gestrid

It's important to remember that Shigaraki (who, notably, overcame the AfO inside himself) is also linked to and affecting the original All for One, which is why he stopped to fight All Might. It might also be why he kept ignoring Bakugo--because Shigaraki didn't consider Bakugo a threat, either. So All for One is no longer fully thinking the same way All for One would. He's being influenced and changed by Shigaraki's influence. All for One and One for All (the quirks) are similar in that there are "vestiges" inside them both (Deku and his vestiges cooperate while AfO has wrestled away control from his own vestiges), and the "copies" of the quirks are connected (as seen by the link between All Might and his vestige inside All for One).

Gestrid

I see you've changed your name back, and you've changed your profile pic again. :)

Gestrid

This season so far has been straight peak, but this episode is probably the single best episode of any anime I have ever seen. That goes for both sub and dub. And, honestly, the dub actors KILLED IT this episode, especially Kacchan and Young All for One. One minor thing I wish was different: I do still wish we had gotten to hear Old All for One's VA here, though, even if it was just his internal monologue. I would've loved to hear him voicing YAfO's thoughts as this episode played out. We got that with Toya Todoroki when he woke up in that "day care" in the flashback a few seasons ago, so I wish they would've done that here, too.

HBelmont67

I guess the argument is less about Bakugo still having One For All, and more about him using it IN THIS FIGHT.

Sickness

Dude I get your hyped in this reaction but you need to lay down the one for all in Bakugo theory. It has nothing to do with this lol. It was a movie that the creator had because it was his original ending for the series. They made Bakugo forget that he got one for all at the end of that movie because they weren't gonna bring it back up in the series itself.

Sickness

Not trying to come off as rude when saying that but its the near death quirk awakening that is making him so great. It would be kind of a cop out and pointless to bring up the movie as a way to get Bakugo to have a power up. The movie wasn't in the manga. It wouldn't make any sense to reference the movie in the manga because it didn't happen in the manga to begin with.

Sickness

I love the end more than anything tbh cause Bakugo is calling himself Kacchan which is the nickname Izuku gave him

Eiríkur Eiríksson

In a sense, Bakugo has a connection to One For All, but that's only just that. His quirk is not empowered by One For All at all. The whole point is that Bakugo got this strong on his own

Himiko Toga

That is a good point, him ignoring him. Because it's what Shigaraki would do. But given the things he says later about Bakugos explosions, Id say he's on the camp of genuinely knowing that these explosions shouldn't hurt him. Dont want to say too much cus spoilers

no u uwu

One of the best episodes of mha ever. Hands down, I can’t think of a better one.

Letts React

Then he made all the movies cannon, I think one for all had a role in his awakening, argue with a wall hahah. I just think there is a small spark of one for all in him, how else do you explain talking to Allmights vestige?

Letts React

Yea like I see it as the spark, not powering his abilities, but i think one for all somewhat lingers in him

Kyle MacDonald

'Throughout heaven and earth, I alone am the explosive one.'

Andrew Kidd

This joined One for All as the highest rated episode of MHA ever and I think it's completely deserving of that title

Erin Ryan

Seriously no hate but Kenny only brought up ofa when bakugou powered up so I just want to make it clear that nothing made bakugou stronger other than his own dedication

Erin Ryan

True the bystandard effect in MHA is crazy and it's really well written. Me personally if my number hero was killed and an entire country was at risk I would be pretty damn locked in on what's happening

Indifferent Denji

Well the difference is touya didnt know he was grown up hes was in a coma, Afo is consciously aware what age he is. Touya was still in his head 13 but in reality he was 16, notice how after a while his internal voice was the same as his normal one?

Indifferent Denji

Right like bro did that BECAUSE ofa was too strong a will for himself idk why he thinks he could beat shiggy who he specfically made to be stronger than him. See he shouldve read less comics and played more league with shiggy

Indifferent Denji

the not fun answer is probably just a near death halucination that put him in a critical state where he sees visions of all might. Hori probably just made it the vestige version because its more symbolic and less confusing if normal all might just showed up. It not a really uncommon thing even in our world ppl see some crazy stuff before death but i do think the OFA spark is more fun since at the time of the movie we didn't know nearly as much about ofa as we do now so maybe all might literally could've just been wrong. But i would personally say it was solely for symbolism and shouldnt have a role in him awakening because that would cause issues with the people who actually had OFA for a while and didnt get revived when they died. Like the second just had his neck snapped i think thats more survivable than getting your heart torn apart

HBelmont67

CSM SPOILERS: I rewatched the Chainsaw Man: Reze Arc movie again last night, and even in Bakugo's current state, I still doubt he could beat Reze. She's just CRACKED. 💣 💥

Knov or Morel

Bakugo stressed out young all for one so much his hairline receded@22:30

Tyler Owens

I wasn’t trying to make an objective statement about the show, opinions are subjective, hence the “IMO”. I feel 8x4 builds on 8x3 and with the finality, gives it even more narrative depth. Based on the criteria you shared, animation quality seems to dictate which episode you like the most and that’s okay, but it’s just an opinion, and from my perspective… a rather shallow one at that. Animation quality and “sakuga” moments no doubt matter but anime is so much more than just that.

Gestrid

Yeah, but All Might even remarked how he wasn't sure AfO was aware how much he'd de-aged. And your internal voice doesn't just change like that no matter if you realize how old you are. Toya's internal voice didn't *immediately* change when he noticed his actual voice had changed.

Natsuo Todoroki

At this point it would be an understatement to say that Bakugo never gives up. Also big shoutout to Edgeshot. Dude underwent turning into a worm so a kid could survive.

JTBloodstone

😐😐😐 bro has got to be ragebaiting

HBelmont67

They might have communication devices 🤞🏼😣🤞🏼

HBelmont67

Actually, the name is "Kacchan" instead of "Katsuki" now 💥😁

Erin Ryan

Dude the girl is immortal. If bakugou was in csm the fear caused by his explosions would just make her stronger

Eiríkur Eiríksson

Here's a fun fact about Bakugo and All For One similarities: In the Myers Brigg 16 personalities systems and enneagram (might want to look it up if you don't know what I'm talking about) Bakugo and All For One share the exact same MBTI type and enneagram = ENTJ 8w7.

Eiríkur Eiríksson

There's way too many things going against her because Bakugo's feats in the movies (which are canon to the manga as well) are far better- there's also the fact that she's not immortal- and can be killed as long as you do not give her any blood. Bakugo's immune to his own explosions, she's not.

Ferret

It should have been his hero name and I will die on this hill.

Ferret

The manga absolutely references the movies, especially in the Final War arc. Lots of shots of all the movie original allies, especially Melissa.

Vibeanaut

Only part from the sub I liked more was his wild laughing while yelling "Too fast!"

HBelmont67

I'll right there with you.

Babybear47

All mights never done his light shines for everyone hints his look into the future they try and show the first few episodes I think

Babybear47

I loved and cried so much even watching a second time omg! Let alone bakugo didn't say his hero name, find it interesting he used the nickname deku gave him honestly kinda fits since deku kept his

Charles Arias

Might be my favorite episode of MHA ever (Definitely top 3). It had everything I want in terms of animation, emotion, and character development. Bakugo smiling after being acknowledged by All Might and calling himself Kacchan was absolutely perfect.

Kika gama

Important reminder..even though all for one is still ridiculously strong, he's much weaker than when he fought all might back in the day... Mainly because he's using a duplicate quirk, he passed on the original quirk to shiggy and the duplicate quirks are not as a strong as the original.

Scar

That's not true in the slightest considered he's taken sooo many more quirks since their fight back in the day AND he's in peak condition. Being duplicated did weaken them because of their vestiges but that barely does a dent in his power, they were equal back in the day but even injured all might barely put a scratch if not for the "quirks" of other people and not his own. AFO going so ham in the fight just goes to show how strong all might was to best him in the day but now with the help of Endeavor and dozens of other well qualified heroes, it took basically 4 nukes to actually kill him? He was a MAJOR problem, even more so than shiggy imo

HBelmont67

That "GET REKT" sounded like it hurt 🤕
