Damn, they missed the post credit scenes of Ep 12 lol

lololol

well now you know why Bakugo's first name is Katsuki 😂 "katsu" translates to "win" in japanese, while "baku" in his name is short for bakuhatsu which translates to explosion (i think)

todoroki :( hes actually so precious brooo

vigilantes made me lowkey attached to iida’s brother this rewatch kinda hits different

Butteredrollz

I have literally never commented on any video, but I am so passionate about this topic! You mentioned how you didnt understand why people find Deku irritating. People think Deku is irritating because he's a "crybaby"....but he's a FREAKING TEENAGER. He's 14-15yr old and he has this huge responsibility being the weilder of one for all. He's never been liked or popular or even noticed by anyone and now his whole world is different. He has emotions and heaven forbid a strong male character has emotions. I am a Deku defender for life and I think if you don't like Deku, or find him irritating, you're emotionally immature 👍🏼

Jude

btw if you guys think the name yaoyorozu is too hard to say you can just call her momo it's a lot easier lol

does anybody know if they said they watch dragon ball/dragon ball z before ?

I love how this show deals with trauma. There are a lot of shows where a character has a breakthrough and everything is all good after. For me, real trauma comes back to haunt you and a breakthrough is the first step to healing.

Alanin_8💜

The dub is actually regarded very highly and there's a lot of fans who even prefer it over the sub. The main reason Deku gets a lot of hate is due to how much he cries. We saw this happen to Jin-Woo when he cried and there was so much hate for it and we saw it happen to Mark in Invincible where he got so much slander for crying as well even from popular creators like Speed. That's why in anime parodies like for example RDC anime house they'll always portray his character as someone who cries or is soft even though that's far from the case. I will always defend Deku whenever people try to use the "crybaby Deku" as an insult

86 LilaS

Ikr he’s a sweet mama’s boy

How dare the quirkless kid, whose father is not there, who has been bullied all his life, who breaks his bones any time he uses his quirk cry.

roczilla_2000

The uraraka and deku hate needs to be studied

cozo

at least it's not that important 😭

Itzel

Yeah lmao 😭

Alex Ramirez

46:09 The main reason why people find Deku annoying and hate him is due to the amount of crying he does in the first 3 seasons. He does cry a lot but I would say like 80% of it is understandable when he was quickless for his whole life and he feels grateful for receiving One for All. After season 3 he cries way less.

Violet833

Yes, like some people are saying deku hate mostly comes from him crying which is a stupid reason since he's a child. He always gets called a crybaby and weak which is crazy to me since hes been breaking his bones so much.

Bisky

Peak incoming

bondbond53

Deku hate is because anime fans are edgelords that don't like to see their MC cry. Also, Bakugo hate back in the day was overblown because people didn't want to engage with his character. Don't get me wrong, you can dislike him that's perfectly fine but some people just don't want to discuss the details of his character at all. You have to understand that MHA had the misfortune of getting the brunt of the hate from many anime fans for being the first big shounen to really go mainstream after the Big 3 (OP, Bleach, Naruto) with which many people grew up with. So in a way the anime fans were like you described Bakugo in your discussion, both having a superiority and inferiority complex towards it. At this point people grew up on shounen tropes like the power of friendship etc. and after not being a kid anymore many 14 y.o wanted to be edgy and didn't appreciate MHA earnestness and positivity. On the other hand, many only compared MHA with the big 3, not being able to let nostalgia go. Stuff like caliing Deku green Naruto and Bakugo blond Sasuke (which doesn't even make sense). Also, MHA came at a time when social media started playing a big role in fandom spaces. Whatever ship wars, toxicity, death threats towards animators and authors was happening before on fandom specific forums (and trust me, big 3 shounen fans were bonkers just like they are today), now was on full display for the internet to witness even if you were not part of the fandom. Also, just the pure fact that MHA was very popular and broke new ground into the West for anime as being an accessible show for normies. All of this was a perfect cocktail for MHA and Deku to be hated.

Albin Limani

The only reason people hate Deku is because he cries a lot. Edgelords want a stoic, edgy, cool main character, they can not handle their MC showing emotions. It is the same thing that happened with Sung Jin-Woo crying. But also, it makes a lot of sense why Deku cries so much.: 1. He was born quirkless in a world where quirks are the norm. 2. His father is not present in his life. 3. He has been bullied all his life. 4. As soon as he gets a quirk, he can not control it and he shatters his bones any time he uses it. After all that and people still think he has no reason to cry so much. I actually love that he is so emotional.

rue

25:31 yeah i’ve never seen anyone rages as hard as bakugo 🤣 the voice acting really puts him on a whole other level too

roczilla_2000

I'm glad you guys are enjoying the show, but please stop saying the dub sucks when you're not even watching it in dub. It's amazing and I wish people would be more open minded to it

Bisky

Deku is definitely Kawhi Leonard that's crazy

Kayanolive

34:25 the way cannons face just lights up when All Might appears is so wholesome 😭

86 LilaS

Wow I had the same thought in my head about the edgelord part. It was still a time when edgy was seen as cool and wholesome was cringe

Kayanolive

Oh and apparently Post Credit Scene on episode 12!

Ana

Yes the dialogue is so much better. Even with Ida and tensei he’s says little brother little brother is that you instead of tenya and mother and it hits so hard. The whole conversation was better. And hero killer stain is better in dub. And then Bakugo’s voice breaking when he was telling Todoroki to get up in the dub 😩

wadad sk

People hated on Deku only cuz he cries a lot and people aren’t used to this type of main character but Deku only gets more goated as the show progresses! His character journey’s amazing.

Lori

Deku is the GOAT. Pple don’t like him bc he cries a lot, but that’s such an incredibly shallow reason to dislike him. He wears his heart on his sleeve and isn’t ashamed to show his emotions. I love him for that. And he still kicks complete ass while doing so. I love him so much. I also love Bakugou. Truly, his character arc is hands down THE BEST in all anime.

Albin Limani

While I do agree that the Dub for MHA is really good, I can't agree about the dialogue being better. Sure, there are instances when that is also true, but they are very rare. Especially starting from s3 onwards, they change so much of the dialogue that sometimes it loses parallels or reference the author tries to make. Also don't agree that Stain is better. His whole "All Might is worthy" line sounds so cringe to me every time I hear it. I say this while acknowledging that the MHA dub is one of the best in history, but especially lines and dialogue get changed way too much, most of the time for no reason. A notorious line I hate is "Just watch what I do" instead of "Just watch me". The latter is so much more effective in the sub and the dub has to make it so much longer and cornier. I understand they have to match the lips, but that is not an excuse for ruining a line.

Ana

Great episodes the thing with Bakugo is he can back up his talk. He’s not just saying it. He’s actually doing it. Which earns him respect. Also people say Deku cries too much when he doesn’t even cry that much. But it’s nothing wrong with crying and feeling intense emotions it’s just the opposite of Bakugo. Poor Ida 🥺 this next arc is one of my favorite in the series I can’t wait 😩😩 I enjoy both dubs and subs but MHA dub the dialogue is soooooo much better. The dub dialogue puts more heart in the show. Is the best way to put it. Even the jokes are better. It’s Like the dub of MHA isn’t just translating they are catering to the English audience and adding things for the English audience

Alanin_8💜

Same, there are many moments where I prefer the dub over the sub and vice versa. The MHA dub is genuinely one of the best in anime eng dub history. Bakugo and Endeavors English dub VA's are absolutely phenomenal

Kayanolive

And i agree with the post discussion, this show is the most overhated one i know. And i honestly think its mostly the dub and people just taking what popular sentiment and running with it. Glad yall enjoy. Its only up from here! (imo 🧍👍)

Mia Malvik ⚞ • ⚟

To each their own regarding sub/dub, but for me the dub for this show is genuinely terrible. Had to force myself through it with a friend lol. Interesting how opinions on this is so diverse!

Shinon

Just thinking about the remaining seasons and characters is driving me crazyyyyy I can't waittttt I think am gonna cancel my subscription so I don't go crazy from waiting😩😩 and come back in months to watch 🥹🥹

Ana

Stain saying All might is worthy fits his character and It gives fanatic energy . But I enjoyed that line more in dub. I think the dub does a lot of things better.

Kayanolive

My main issue with the dub are the voices, alot of it sounds so awfully flat imo

Ana

Yeah there’s like a couple a flat voices but the main cast has great VAs

Ana

Yeah Mia its honestly just what you prefer. I watch every anime both ways and then continue with what I prefer on rewatches

roczilla_2000

I completely agree to each their own, but when sub watchers CONSTANTLY tell us that the dub sucks, it gets annoying.

Ana

Same like this show just gets better and better. I’m not canceling though 😭😭😂

SuperSayinSolidSnek

Bros, you just experienced a classic tournament arc. It's a staple of shonen and I think my hero did a great job with theirs

Gorira Kujira

The term you were looking for is "tournament arc" there's a lot of them in anime, usually brackets

nooo you're so correct. I think im goin to combust😭ill like randomly see a really good edit or somethng and get really impatient

IQLou

Damn I actually love the All Might is worthy line lmaoo, I think the sub is much better s5 and on. They're both great tho honestly

Shinon

Sameee and Omg i just remembered the movies too😩😩😩💔💔💔

kai

for some reason anime fans hate mc’s that cry alot like that’s not a normal thing to do 😹 i get wanting a cool and edgy mc but that shit gets repetitive at some point

Dio

Haven’t watched yet but that’s crazy they hating on the dub. the Geks really went from anime haters to sub elitists 😭 I don’t understand.. where’s Brig when you need him

IQLou

🤣🤣

Golden Pants

The biggest issue is just Deku's english VA. I'd honestly almost prefer the Dub, but I just can't stand Deku's english voice. Its so damn ear piercing lmao. For the dub its like: All Might? S Tier Bakugo? S Tier Shigaraki? S Tier The later villains that I'll leave unnamed? S Tier Deku? Ruins it for me.

IQLou

That was crazy to see, he really loves the guy lmao

Nashi

Can people just stop talking about the dub, yall just like to be annoying

roczilla_2000

The next arc is so good! I can't wait for next week's uploads!

Ana

Awww I like deku’s voice. In the first season I think the VA didn’t find his footing yet. They whiny deku voice can be annoying but when he’s locked in there’s nothing wrong

Ana

No

roczilla_2000

Thank youuuu, like bruh leave it alone

Ana

Yes this next Arc eats so hard

Dio

I mean if the Geks mentioned the dub in the video, people can respond and talk about it?

katsuki’s wife

the most popular character for 9 years in a row for a reason 🗣️

Jacob Herrera

My favorite thing from the Dub is the fact that Bakugo doesn’t call Todoroki Half and Half, he calls him Icy Hot 😂😂😂

Ana

@IQlou I for sure agree with you. After season 5 they are equal to me

JulioLG

Cannon never disppoints liking the most GOATED characters for the right (to me haha) reasons!

IQLou

Iida is S Tier too! There's a hilarious line next season when our beloved MC gets cheap shotted by a character I can't mention yet and what Iida said was prob the funniest thing said in the entire show 🤣🤣

JulioLG

or yao momo

Ana

I also wanna add that in the dub that they actually sound like teenagers like they capture it better

KatyRose

Are you guys going to watch the mha movies too??

JulioLG

Every time they say they don't understand the hate on this show and get surprised about how "not shallow" the plot is... bro the satisfaction hahaha.

Jude

love that your name is the song from 86 I was just listening to it earlier

Mr. John Kagurabachi

Am I the only one who sees all the discord notifications? 😭

Hayden Ton

pls start doing 3 eps for this show its way too quick lmao

Enma

This was not a training arc, this was a tournament arc. Which is a staple for shounen anime, and its great everytime

Rayanh Shequinah Nansha

Bakugo, my goat!! I love him so much haha, definitely a rager, but he works hard for everything he gets. It was nice that we saw the flashback of him saying he didn’t think he could’ve won against Shoto when they had the class battles and he probably came up with the howitzer afterwards. As for Shoto’s mom, it makes sense Endeavor put her in a hospital after she had a mental breakdown that endangered their youngest, but I love that Shoto is thinking about helping her heal mentally as a way to save her from being there. As for what this arc is similar to in terms of other animes, it’s like the Hunter x Hunter tournament where Gon and Killua learned nen and in Naruto it would be the last bit of the Chunin exam, right before Gaara went berserk, and where Sasuke used his newly learned Chidori.

86 LilaS

Thank you, but I liked it more for what the title stands for.

Steve

I don't want to get into weaknesses of the anime, it's just not time for that, right now. It's been pretty impeccable so far. But people try to pretend anyone that doesn't love Deku is just some a-hole or edge lord. Nah, there are legitimate reasons. Thus far, he has shown no competence at anything. He is a decently hard worker. But he was handed power on a silver platter, he didn't earn anything with merit. He has a heart of gold. He has no urgency to come up with a solution to his problem, he needs like 5 people to tell him to "find a way to use his power without breaking" and he still hasn't tried. And when you compare him with Asta, Naruto, Ichigo, Luffy, etc .. he just doesn't stand out. Tanjiro is much more of as standout of this generation. Like it or not, he is being compared to GOATs of Shounen. By this time in their story, all the other MC's had put a lot more work in. He's still good, don't get it twisted, but especially on rewatch do you notice more shortcomings of the guy. We root for him because we are meant to. He's alright

Enma

Carter, would you take the Bron for All if it meant breaking a finger every shot you take but in the end you learn to control it and become the greatest player of all time?

Rayanh Shequinah Nansha

Yeah I can’t stand the dub either. I heard it by accident and I was gritting my teeth. I firmly believe most, if not all things are just better in their original version.

Rayanh Shequinah Nansha

Their season 1 binge got me so hyped that I binged the remaining seasons by myself, caught up to season 7 which I hadn’t watched yet, and finished the manga while I was at it.

Ana

Deku wasn’t handed anything he worked for it. And he is figuring out how to get better with his power. All might is a terrible teacher. Deku proves his competence each episode. He’s shown his years of studying heroes with how good he is at strategizing and combating other quirks. Deku also stays on go.none of that talk no jutsu He’s a much better character than Naruto and I love Naruto

Tivy

I’m glad you brought it up, Deku’s such a great character and he only gets better from here. The hate he gets is so undeserved and forced. A lot of it comes from people not knowing how to handle a male mc who’s vulnerable instead of being all stoic and cold but that’s what makes him so special. He represents everything MHA stands for, and he’s easily the most inspiring character in the show. Real fans know this, so don’t hold back on loving him just because of the noise. He deserves all the appreciation he can get

Rayanh Shequinah Nansha

Very valid. Especially the bit about him being compared to other GOAT MCs like Luffy… A friend of mine disliked him because of how much he admires/loves Bakugo and cowers in front of Bakugo despite Bakugo being mean to him.

Rayanh Shequinah Nansha

An arc I sometimes forget to look forward to, yet always hypes me up like of course, we’re having one!

kai

bakugo is literally a menace to society

Ana

He earned his power by training his body to be able to hold it. He earned his power by every bone he breaks to get better. Deku continues to train and work hard to master OFO. And him studying hero’s was in response to deku not being competent

Nicholas R. Gonzales

You’re allowed to dislike Deku, everyone has their opinions, but if you want anyone to take what you say seriously u can’t say shit like Deku was handed his power on a silver platter with no merit of his own. It just shows you have no reading comprehension

yio

Preach

Jude

That's so cool I just looked it up what it meant and now appreciate it even more

TED103

bakugo just casually making a tornado 😭

Steve

I've read thousands of books Nicholas, thousands!

Zed

no

Beth Edwards

See, bakugou is ALWAYS cocky, but damn If he doesn't deserve to be 😭

yio

If Deku has a million fans, then I am one of them. If Deku has ten fans, then I am one of them. If Deku has only one fan then that fan is me. If Deku has no fans, then that means I am no longer on Earth. If the world is against Deku, then I am against the world.

Niko

bout to leave a double comment in one post watch this revolutionary tech: for the geks, awesome react, this show is shaping up to be a gek anime banger, especially when this show gets into the larger overarching plot man i can see you guys loving it. Liking it way more than when i first watched it! for the other commenters arguing about dub and sub (only a few of you but i still wanna weigh in lol), i can def understand the love for the dub, because it does cater to english viewers more with its interpretative dialogue. unfortunately, in my opinion, the quality of the voice acting in dub is quite bad except for all might. The sub just clears by miles, and the geks watch everything in sub, so i think we should just drop this topic for the sake of everyones sanity on both sides hahaha. also, if you feel a disconnect with the sub and the dub captures more of your attention and emotion, thats totally valid! however, just know that the reason is likely because of the syntax and prose of the subtitles rather than the actual quality of voice actors. if you understand japanese, the voice acting (although sometimes cringy and exaggerative) is extremiely high quality in JP.

yio

I haven't even watched the reaction yet cause it's 4am here and I need to sleep but I'm loving all the support in the comments for Deku. I cannot emphasis how much I love him

Zana

Just out of curiosity, are we starting Fate Zero back up soon?

NINJA SWORD

These kind of arcs are common in anime they are called tournament arcs (like chunin, dbz tourneys...)

MrPwnzor

I think, at least in this specific comment section, people are talking about it because the guys brought it up towards the end of the reaction so people were just weighing in.

Niko

yeah that’s totally fair, I do see some people still asking for dub now and again tho, I personally think it best that those people realize it won’t happen, and that if it did they would be disappointed by the geks likely not enjoying it haha

MrPwnzor

Yep! It's completely normal to have a preference and these guys definitely have theirs. I always think it's best that people just watch whichever version they're most comfortable and leave it at that. No sense in tearing down either way of watching imo.

April

42:20 yall watched weak hero??? watched season 2 already? i love that show sm

Beth Edwards

Another fun fact! Occasionally, bakugou will let off blasts to get rid of excess sweat, as his glands are likely overstretched from producing so much nitroglycerin on the daily, that he needs to blow it up every once and a while! Also, the scene where he's chained up has a direct parallel to a frame from when he was kidnapped by the sludge villain in s1. Most people have made the connection that he was a little uncomfortable in that scene because he was having ptsd, even if he didn't know that's what it was. Personally, I think that he was upset that he was made a fool of in front of thousands of people, and the parallel only added to his stress

Dio

I don’t know what you mean saying people should realize they won’t watch the dub.. people weren’t even talking about them watching it, they are just comparing the two and saying what they like more in response to the Geks.

Jesse Herrera

Dub is terrible. Just the way it is.

Niko

yeah that’s chill no problem with that. just referring two the 4 or 5 comments I’ve seen in the past 3 or so uploads asking for it - discussion is totally welcomed imo (although the topic does get redundant fast because it is just preference at the end of the day lol)

Pavlo

34;30 Cannon literally loves him AW 😹

TED103

the glazing is so good 😂

Miitei

This show started back in 2016, were anime was this niche thing that a "certain" type of people watch, you know, when we were bullied for watching it. Back in that time anything that was about showing emotions was seeing as too girly and bad. A lot of anime fans took pride of being this edgelord that was cold, because they were cool like that lol After the big 3, Deku was the first shonen MC that went massive, but Deku is an emotional kid and he is capable of showing sadness and frustration, and he cries a normal amount, so everyone started with the "crybaby" thing and that's why he is hated. And the show is hated on kinda for the same thing, during those times, whatever show that was "mainstream" and attracted non anime fans was deemed as bad. Then the fandom was very vocal about defending the show and that morphed in the notion that we have now that the mha fandom is very annoying. I never really interacted with the fandom and I've seen bad and good things in it as any other fandom. I guess it's just that mha was held against a standard that doesn't even exist anymore and since it was different to that standard that automatically made it bad for veteran anime fans.

Frizen

Deku hate is one of the few times I think the term toxic masculinity is applicable.

Enma

Yep it’s a classic that will never get old

Miitei

Are you on their anime tier only? They are watching Weak Hero right now, S1E2 was upload today!

Tivy

Facts. You said it for me lol

kiiturii

so is discord-chan just becoming a part of the reactions or what lmao

I’m Tired

I like how much you guys look into bakugo, a lot of reactors and fans write him off as annoying from the jump and hate him instantly, so the never look into his character and motivations. I like that you guys are just entertained by him most of the time, instead of just wishing he was off the screen everytime he crashes out. Like every good crash out, the annoying bits are apart of the journey

I’m Tired

deku's not annoying cause you're not watching the dub, sub deku is so much cooler lmao

Betty H

Love the props for Bakugou/Nishinoya's VA. If you ever get to watching Frieren, you'll realize his range is insane and would never think he ever voiced Bakugou, lol.

kiiturii

how did kirishima and tetsu duke it out until it had to be called a draw but against bakugo he's out of stamina so fast

I’m Tired

also people dislike deku because as much as they love an underdog and a growth story, some anime and shounen fans hate to see a main character that displays constant weakness. Deku is a 15 year old child, he cries, gets anxious, is kinda a loser. He's reckless and impatient so he's always getting injured. Some people wanna root for the GOAT, so despite all of deku's amazing, redeeming qualities, after a while they just get tired of his weaknesses.

Frizen

Everything you said is blatantly untrue. Handed power on a silver platter? Bro literally put his life on the line for a guy that just told him to self delete while he didn't have any powers and every other hero including All Might was doing nothing . He then spent 9 months building his body and doing an act of community service by cleaning an entire beach before even getting the power. What do you mean he has no urgency? You think he likes exploding his bones? You do realize it's only been like 2 months since he got the power at this point right? The fact that he actively punched Todoroki with OFA multiple times clearly shows he trying to learn to control it. Like All Might said his vessel was made in a hurry and can barely contain the power, it's not about him not trying hard enough he literally just didn't get enough time. He can't magically brute force the lack of time. Yes he isn't like the other shonen protags because most of the time their progress is bs and unrealistic or they have some hax that allows them to level up way faster than they should. Deku is just a guy, there's nothing special about him, he doesn't get speedrun cheats.

Joydan Bri’an

i’m with cannon fr. a hug from all might and i’ll never be sad again lol

Ana

What weaknesses? How is crying and not being cool a weakness? Most of those people must of stopped watching season 1 because none of those reasons even make sense especially for deku. I can’t speak on the other “weaknesses” let’s just say those don’t apply to deku.

Joydan Bri’an

also i wanted to say who’s my top 5 characters (just up to this point so no spoilers included) i’m not including all might and izuku 1. katsuki 🙂‍↕️🙂‍↕️🙂‍↕️🙂‍↕️🙂‍↕️🙂‍↕️ 2. aizawa (what’s understood doesn’t have to be explained) 3. kirishima (my underrated boy) 4. sero 5. shinso

Ana

Woooooooooooooooooooow Sero? That’s wild lol

Joydan Bri’an

😂 listen i love his personality and he’s so chill and normal compared to a lot of his classmates. i’ve always had a soft spot for him. he’s not in my real top 5 ranking tho. this is just up to these episodes

kiiturii

you gonna name him "hero killer" and not have him do the one thing he's named after

kiiturii

ahhh my heart, todoroki going to meet his mom after all that time🥲​

April

OMGG, thank you for letting me know!! upgrading membership rn!! :DD

Ana

Ah ok I get you lol and yeah I love sero too

YANXI

@Ana I don't think they're saying themselves that crying is a weakness (because it isn't), but to other viewers, it comes off as a weakness. Audiences tend to gravitate toward main characters like Jinwoo, someone who starts off weak but becomes unstoppable and cool, like Gojo (he's not a main character, but this is one reason he became so popular). That "cool factor" matters a lot. Deku is powerful and has plenty of admirable traits, but he doesn’t give off that same aura. So when he cries, even if it's justified, it clashes with the image of what people expect from a "goated" protagonist. That’s why some see it as a negative, even if it’s not meant to be one. But with that being said, the real ones know that Deku is def goated.

Yam
>>174376699

Idk if its spoiler or what but: There is a reason why he didn't kill him

Ah ok. That’s still so dumb people don’t understand a character that is human and more relatable

bakugo is so funny to me - he's so extreme lol like chill my guy, you don't have to crash out every second haha - love that kid

Nash

Bakugo is such a character lmao. Love him sm 🙂‍↕️🙂‍↕️

Dio

The dub in this show is peak. Out of all the anime I've seen, it's the best. I have no hope going forward that the Geks will try out any dubs for anime

Dio

Not true

kiiturii

we'll see, I don't remember at all lol

Alanin_8💜

Yeah, I know what you're talking about Yam. Definitely a spoiler

aSackOfDerp

He literally doesnt cower in front of Bakugo like after the 4th episode. Literally stands up for himself in the 3rd so that criticism makes no sense and it makes complete sense why Deku admires Bakugo. He literally shows crazy combat ability, quirk technique and power, plus hes really smart. Why would Deku who is obsessed with heroes not admire him

Osiris704

Mannn who doesn’t love a tournament arc? This season was even better than I remember when I first watched lol. I had Todoroki winning in the end but not mad at the way he lost.

aSackOfDerp

Hard disagree. The dub voice actors are great

kiiturii

at first I thought this list was based but then I remembered katsuki is bakugo lol

Babylee

Bakugou 's VA is one of my favs! but the VA's in this show is so good. One thing I love about this show is how much growth, spotlight they actually give to characters , and the reasoning's of how they feel and act the way they do. When you pay attention to the small details it makes the depth of the story good and you're able to piece things together. Can't wait for more reactions! Love the double eps and quick updates!

iCH00ZuPIKACHU

Glad yall are enjoying the show and Deku. This happens all the time, reactors talk about how hesitant they were to start this series because of the hate it/Deku gets. Then they wind up really liking it, just ignore the outside noise and enjoy.

Jennimo

For real, that vigilantes episode made me unreasonably emotional haha

Jennimo

Please remember to check for post credit scenes 🙏love your reactions

Rebecca

kirishima!!! my son

I’m Tired

yeah definitely, believe me, i hate that people forget these characters are kids, and have all the emotions and reactions of kids aspiring to become heros. I never think crying is a weakness for anyone, but some reactors hate deku's crying so bad. i think it's dumb too

Rebecca

i dont hate deku, but i dont love him either - idk, he's just too nice if that makes sense? it's just a little boring to me, but I get why he's popular - for me, it's just personal taste. I enjoy shoto's and bakugo's character development more. But I'm one of the one's who hasn't finished season 5, so maybe it'll change for me

Moon

To clarify some things: - All Might was always a huge guy. When he was young, he never needed to "flex" to grow to his official hero size. But because of the fight that cost him his entire stomach and damaged his respiratory organs, and the multiple surgery procedures he went through just to regain some semblance of normalcy in his life, his body very likely couldn't maintain his muscular, jacked form. So he compensates for that by doing his "flexing". For Izuku, it's highly unlikely that he will ever be as big as All Might was/is. All Might is VERY tall, standing at 220cm (or 7 feet 3 inches). Izuku will probably grow taller since he's only around 15-16 now, but he prob still will never be as big as All Might (who really was an exception in every way lmfao) - Kirishima's hardening is very much a quirk that relies on his endurance. It makes sense that he can't harden his entire body for hours at a time at only age 15-16. They are all growing children, and their quirks are also developing alongside their base physical abilities (throwback to when Katsuki said that quirks are physical abilities too in S2 Ep10). Thus, Kirishima lost to Katsuki because his endurance reached its limit and his hardening weakened as a result.

Moon

That "I'm randomly rooting for Bakugo" from Cannon is basically Katsuki defender behaviour at this point. He's had a couple of moments where he couldn't explain why he likes Katsuki and it's so funny because it's so true for a lot of Katsuki fans JHBHWJBEb But more importantly the Katsuki VA appreciation is very much welcome. I love his voice so much, especially knowing how much effort he puts into each of his characters' lines. The little squeaks and voice pitches in Katsuki's screaming and yelling must be so taxing on Nobuhiko's throat. I pray he's always able to recover after a voice acting session. Katsuki is one of those characters who seem like a one-dimensional crash out on the first watch for a lot of people, but is actually someone who has much more emotional depth and complexity, which is smth people realise during the rewatches. After reading the manga nearly till the end, seeing particular scenes of him makes me so emotional. All the little things about Katsuki that didn't really make sense or only made partial sense before seem SO clear now. It's surreal. I can't wait for the Geks to see more of him.

a_daichi

Yao momo is so cute

TheBookerDeWitt

Bro the way Cannon's face lights up like kid Deku's when All Might appears on screen 🤣

a_daichi

I actually really really like bakugo on rewatch!

Rayanh Shequinah Nansha

@aSackOfDerp: yeah, I like everything he loves about Bakugo as well, and I like how much he loves and admires him too; I’m not my friend. And the way Deku first behaved when Bakugo and he first crossed each other in the stairs after Bakugo’s fight with Ochaco in this arc is an example of what my friend hates about him. His shoulders immediately shrunk, but he still greeted him. That’s all there is to it. I don’t actually need to be in this argument though, I like Deku just fine.

a_daichi

Okay I have for the last few uploads and was like they don’t see it? Lol

a_daichi

No competence at anything is crazy lmao. he has shown he can think on his feet during fights with other’s powers in mind and what he can do with his own power at the moment… like cmon dude lmao.

a_daichi

I never found deku annoying. I love him!

Rayanh Shequinah Nansha

Now I’m curious: how would you rank the seasons from favorite to least favorite, and who are your top 5 characters?

cozo

how is sero above todoroki 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭

a_daichi

They’re still young and still developing their powers. Fighting in the same day will run their stamina. Bakugo’s just a demon lol

a_daichi

I’d put longer spaces in spoiler comments so on mobile it doesn’t show up at the bottom

Joydan Bri’an

lol i love todoroki a lot but sero’s my boy and he needs some more appreciation 🙂‍↕️

Nami Swannn

I didn’t have any issues with Dekus character at this point in the series (other than the fact that he can’t seem to have nuanced feelings about Bakugo and must constantly glaze him…). He was extremely easy to relate to and made you want to root for him! I also think he stood out in comparison to the other shounen mcs at the time. Nowadays you see much more kind hearted/emotional mcs (Yuji, Tanjiro, Mob etc), but at the time, Deku was an outlier and that was a major part of why ppl hated on him (they called him a “cry baby” but dw, I was always on the frontlines defending him 🫡) I really really loved him, but around when Act 3 started, IMO, he gets such little introspection (especially considering the things he’s put through) and basically becomes a shell of himself. What once made him fun and unique was just gone. It’s more of an issue I had with, what I felt, was an overall decline in the writing for that final act. All this ultimately affected my enjoyment of these characters and the series in general.

Moon

Again! In case y'all need a reminder, I'll prob put this under every vid for the Geks to notice and update it as we finish the seasons HAHA! MHA watch order goes (ideally + reasons): Season 2 -> Movie 1: Two Heroes Season 3 -> Season 4 -> Season 5 (Ep 1 to 16) Movie 3: World Heroes' Mission Season 5 (Ep 17 to 25) -> Movie 2: Heroes Rising Season 6 -> Season 7 (Ep 1-4) -> Movie 4: You're Next Season 7 (Ep 5-21) I know this looks super weird, but according to my extensive research, in the canon manga timeline, movie 2 comes before movie 3, but since Studio Bones messed up the order of the arcs in the second half of S5, the events of movie 3 now happens sometime in the middle of S5, while movie 2 happens after S5's ending, even though the studio released the two movies in the opposite order. OR, y'all can watch movie 2 after S5 Ep12, and movie 3 after S5 ends (this is what most reactors do if I'm not wrong, cause there are spoilers in movie 2 that aren't revealed until the middle of S5).

Rayanh Shequinah Nansha

People talk about it with every single drop, even after the Geks explicitly said they wouldn’t watch it. I still remember an other old video of Carter stating they watch everything in its original form (they were watching a German show at the time), so it it makes sense for some of us to be fed up with that topic in the comment section. Plenty of MHA reactioners love dub. I avoid watching them, I don’t just drop a comment about how it should be sub or how much better sub is instead.

M1GZ

damn another post credit scene missed :/

a_daichi

The “crying” excuses to not like Deku because it means he’s “weak”… I don’t get it. Man’s finds out he’s quirkless after that was his ONE dream in life, bullied at school, no friends…. then out of nowhere your #1 hero actually sees you and wants to give you their quirk??? Hello??? I would be crying for a week straight! He also has to basically blindly navigate this new *insanely powerful* quirk that’s breaking his body left and right? All while still fighting with the knowledge that he learned himself or is presented to him right then and there. That’s a competent hard worker right there!

Marcus D

Wouldn’t be studio gek if they didn’t miss a few 😂

zaphyre

Bakugo truly a generational crash out character and you love to see it

Saphira

I just realised that Todoroki’s mom did not even see much of the damage that she inflicted on him. Like how it scarred etc. This would have been her first time seeing that it’s lasting.

mel

omg since you guys like basketball you should watch knb

botanbutton

Yes, ya'll see the light. 😭 My son, my baby boy, my crybaby, my hero, Midoriya Izuku aka Deku is such a wholesome character. He has a lot to learn but his heart is in the right place and I'm glad ya'll see that. Some folks literally hate him because he's a good boy or he cries too much.

botanbutton

As someone who understands both Japanese and English, both are great. I'll prefer sub every time because duh, I'm gonna watch in the original language since I understand it, but English dubbing has come a long way and has extremely talented VAs. So despite my issues with translations/scripts sometimes, MHA English dub is quality. That being said, some of ya'll need to stop saying what's better; you wouldn't know. 💁🏾‍♀️

botanbutton

OMG, I started on MHA pretty late so I'm glad I missed some of that. Oof.

botanbutton

You don't have to like him but don't lie on my boy. 🙅🏾‍♀️

AR

or slam dunk.

Fatipapi (Byakuya’s Girl)

We’ve been asking this for a while 😂 they’ve put it on the poll but i doubt itll win the majority 🥲

Fatipapi (Byakuya’s Girl)

Am i gonna watch this in bed, or am i gonna get up, make breakfast and watch it on the big screen 🤔 decisions decisions..

M1GZ

It’s ok we forgive you 🙏🏻

Desi

The only reasons I’ve heard for the whole ‘Deku’s annoying’ take are that he cries, and that his power was just handed to him, and honestly, both reasons suck.

kuza

trying to watch along on pace with geks... im gonna crack one of these times and go ahead...

Coen

has mckay seen the whole show or only up to a certain point?

katsuki’s wife

Something that I wouldn’t understand why do people confidently say that Bakugo wouldn’t have won if Todoroki had used his fire? (Not people from this comment section) We don’t know what would’ve happened. Bakugo has a strong quirk, analytical skills, quick reflexes, and close-combat abilities just like Todoroki. Both of them are very smart and strong, so claiming that Todoroki definitely would’ve won if he had used his fire is, in my opinion, absurd. One thing’s for sure, it would’ve been quite a spectacle to see them fight at full power.

Fatipapi (Byakuya’s Girl)

Anyone else went “chikara/power” when herokiller said “fame… money….” 😂🏴‍☠️

Ron Jackson Jr

Todo’s mum kinda a baddie ngl damn

Alan

I’m hungover asf eating an everything bagel in a parking lot and by golly this shit is hitting

Fatipapi (Byakuya’s Girl)

Oh my god, Bakugo being tied up like that is insaaaane 😂😂😂 “look at this champion” 💀

Fatipapi (Byakuya’s Girl)

I just realised something.. isnt it kinda weird that Todoroki got burned by the boiling water? Shouldnt his left side be heatproof?

kai

knb is never winning unless its a sports poll they should’ve just started it or blue lock after haikyuu

Jess

Good point but nope, even if he controls fire with his left side it definitely does not mean he's heat proof there. Just like how his right side freezes over and isn't "cold-proof" if he over uses it. Same logic applies to his left side, he is not heat proof there.

Fatipapi (Byakuya’s Girl)

I mean yeah i get what youre saying, but he doesnt get frostbite or something, he can still have those ice patches much longer than others can, and his entire arm etc is engulfed in flames, same with Enveavor walking around 24/7 with his face on fire 😂 he should be double Zuko by now then haha

lololol

He was 5 years old at the time, so probably didn't have the same control/endurance over heat at that point. No spoilers...but there is another character in the series that faced something like that, which pretty much explains my point

Fatipapi (Byakuya’s Girl)

Oh right, yeah that could explain it. Im not entirely sure how quirks work when it comes to immunity/control/selfharm. Not sure who referring to (ive forgotten a lot from the first time watch), but I’m curious!

2025-05-18 12:33

Lexi-Conway

There’s actually another reason for his scar that doesn’t have to do with his fire but the anime never shows it.

Charlie

Are they aware yet of the bouncing discord icon that pops up in the video?

Saggy

hahahaha i noticed that and it eventually just got tuned out

kiiturii

just disappointed they went that route, kirishima would've been a really interesting matchup against bakugo but they introduced a stamina bar for him even though he's never had problems with it until now

Alanin_8💜

It was in the manga but the anime skipped it, he got that scar because his mother immediately used her ice to cool him off after she threw boiling water at him and that's what caused the scarring on his face

Ladnon

Why does the Discord icon keep making guest appearances?!

miuliu

i swear i can see cannon’s eyes light up whenever all might’s on screen, so cute

Sari-chan

A bit distracting I'd say

Sari-chan

I kinda wished the Dark Shadow would have come back in the smoke from Bakugo's explosion!

Sari-chan

He is a bit 'emotional' and people do not associate masculinity or strength with tears lol But technically EVERYONE got handed their power so non-sense!

Gestrid

Yeah, you heard that right. The song literally says "F***ing superstar", bleeps and everything.

Sari-chan

Thank you for this!!!

Gestrid

It's what happens on a Mac whenever Discord gets a ping.

Gestrid

I'd wait to watch the first movie until after a certain episode in S3 for spoiler reasons.

Stairguy

I know, right?

Gestrid

This list is through Season 5, but there are some post-credits scenes in S6 and S7. Season 1: Episodes 4, 8, 13 Season 2: Episodes 5, 12, 13, 20, 22, 25 Season 3: Episodes 1, 2, 9, 12, 18, 23 Season 4: Episodes 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7 Season 5: Episode 1

Stairguy

So glad you asked about Deku Carter, I just came to this realization around when you guys started your reactions. I think, whether they even realize it or not, the reason the haters hate Deku is the type of MC he is. Most, if not all, Shonnen MCs exude confidence. Deku is the only emotionally vulnerable MC I can think of in the Shonnens I have seen. I think that really turns off a certain crowd of people. Because I have been wondering the same thing for YEARS now. I don’t know that I would say Deku is my favorite or anything. But he fits this story so I think he’s a great MC for the story that’s trying to be told. Like, I’m not going to spoil anything but the consistency in character writing allowed me to know EXACTLY how Midorya would respond to the big bad in ssn 7 all the way back in ssn 3. And I was correct. I’ve said it before and I will say it again; I really appreciate that Allmight and Deku are written as true heroes. I had my fill of the “broken and flawed Dark Knight” clones in all superhero media we were getting. That’s fine, I love The Dark Knight. Best Batman movie ever. But not everything has to be that 😂

Ladnon

Ohhh I see

Richie Sour

I forgot that I legitimately like this show 😭 the hate it gets is crazy

Faris Alamin

I think you're conflating emotionally vulnerable and wimpy. Naruto is super emotionally vulnerable and not particularly cool, but he doesn't ever come across as pitiful as Deku. Deku just seems like he's about to cry any second at all times.

Denzel Mwandha

Thought I was the only one one noticing it 😂

Hanah

Omg that’s heartbreaking, I’ve never realized that before

Kite

just because he cries every episode doesn't mean he is more emotionally vulnerable than other main characters

Michael H

Yeah, I never understood the hate. I’ve only seen the first few seasons, and it was great. Does it fall off later, or are people just being haters?

jrnoodles

Thanks Geks! I love Todoroki's story. It's very interesting and it makes you root for him.

Michael H

He reminds me of Simon from Gurren Lagann. Nothing wrong with a character starting like that—just means there is more room to grow

Stairguy

That's a good pull. I didn't think of him. But how many fans still like Kamina more? 😂

Michael H

@Stairguy Haha fair

Dio

People just being haters

SYD

"what do you think the overall story of Bakugo will be?" instant tears bro

Richie Sour

Same Micheal I think I stopped watching around episode 80ish with my old roommate? He wasn’t crazy about it but I enjoyed it and figured I would pick it up again eventually and I might as well do it now

2danimehoe

Dudebros were calling Izuku crybaby every episode like I would take it as an insult. They thought they did something but we love crybabies here 🩷

Angela

I used to looooove this show in the beginning (like I still get emotional rewatching some parts with them lol) but I kinda dropped it at season 5, couldn't get into it anymore for some reason

ok did I miss how monoma earned the nickname fake husband someone please explain I'm so intrigued

Ryker

the dubs actually pretty good imo

Miitei

Because Cannon said he looks like Atsumu (a character from Haikyuu) during their reaction to Haikyuu they called Atsumu "husband" bc of his fans so now Monoma is "fake husband" lol

Sam Davis

Yeah MHA gets unnecessary hate then you ask how far they made it they either made it 2 eps in or didn't even watch it at all. I absolutely love this show and the Dub is actually pretty good also so Jack cut that dub slander at least for this show 😂😂

Michael H

Guess we’ll learn with the Geks

Nigos The Titan

Deku's dub voice is so iconic even non anime watchers know it 🤣

Moon

@Sari-chan No problem!

Moon

@Gestrid I'm sorry but I have never heard anyone say this before so I'm a bit confused. Can you enlighten me on what the spoiler is? I don't recall Two Heroes alluding to anything spoilery.

Mitch

It’s weird because obviously the voice acting is great in Sub but for some reason a lot of the dialogue they use is so much worse than the dub counterpart. I prefer the sub voices but the dub dialogue itself is almost always better for some reason. It’s the only anime I’ve felt this way about.

jessiefungirl

i think there's a flash for like 2 seconds of a character that's revealed in s3, unless it was also in 2 and im tweakin

MaraReaper

He’s just like the kids in the show ☺️

ginabella

The way Bakugo is HAUNTED by that memory of Deku reaching his hand out to help him but Deku prob doesn't even remember it happened lol

Aby

Mha has a really good dub. It's translated well, pretty loosely at times, but it sounds funny and natural. Some lines are funnier than the original. I do think some of the Japanese voices fit the characters better, but the dub is very fun and unique.

Jimmy Gilligan

Nah that’s a hot take. A lot of the Voice actors sound way more cringe in dub and that’s a pretty common sentiment between everyone that’s watched both

Juicy D. jaloomba

You’re right, this arc would be more of a tournament arc.

jessiefungirl

living there rent free and doesn't even know it 😭

Moon

@jessiefungirl If both you and @Gestrid are talking about AFO, then he definitely appeared in the 2nd season. He was shown in S2 Ep 20, face and all, even if it was partially hidden in the shadows. The only real difference was that he didn't have his mask on in S2, but he did in Two Heroes. So I wouldn't consider that a spoiler since his identity was already revealed. Unless @Gestrid wasn't referring to that, but I just watched the movie again to check and I still couldn't find anything spoilery haha

Jenny D

I don't know why dub gets such a bad rep. I mean they are in high school and some of us had whiny voices in high school. But, I don't personally think anyone sounds cringe in dub. The Japanese VA's are good as well. I feel like most of them sound like high schoolers, but sometimes they sound more like grown men than a teenager.

Jenny D

Great reactions. I figured Bakugo was going to win. If Todoroki hadn't hesitated though he may have win. I feel so bad for Iida. He loves his brother so much and too see him taken down like this is rough. I'm glad Todoroki visited his mom. Maybe they can help each other heal. I'm excited for the next batch!

Dio

Not a hot take, actually maybe the popular one. The dub is top tier

Positive

bruh, aot didnt drop yet? da heck

JulioLG

Many people find season 5 "slow" because it didnt build the hype the others did, but for me 4 great seasons give the show enough credit to wait (and the end of season 5 for me is good, I mean the origin ep that is there is in-sa-ne). And man, season 6 just doesn't stop, all season insane episodes.

JulioLG

They would LOVE slam dunk, if they havent seen it they are losing the heck of a show, a more "adult" approach that the spokons they've seen in the channel yet. Same with Hajime no Ippo, awesome shows.

Shingeki

where is aot!!?

Violet833

And the "crybaby" has been breaking his bones since the beginning 😭, like people act like they can do that themselves

Violet833

That's the only argument y'all have when this boy has been breaking and rebreaking his bones and hating on a child character for crying is weird anywa.

Jack

YES, thank you

Jack

Thanks 🙏🏻

Violet833

Ikr it's kind of hilarious 😂

Meel

dude I just watched the TLOU reaction and checked Carters IG and this whole time ive thought him and bradlynn were like friends that lowkey kinda fwed each other romantically and shi how did I not know theyre married

Mitch

Ur a fake fan that’s why!

jessiefungirl

mckay mentioned liking bakugo's expression, and im so glad im not the only one. as goofy as i think they are, i love when characters actually use the muscles in their face (even better when it's exaggerated) 26:47 i dont know if anyone has ever played crystal maze but that sound... also try yao-ya-row-zoo(or just momo) cannon 😭 goin thru it

Rosa

i feel like its maybe easy to fall victim to some kind of primacy effect with his character, since he really is just introduced as a terrible person so people just stick with that image of him.

Dio

Deku's dub voice isn't bad imo, people hate on him more about "crying" all the time..

Chlo

YESSS !! I love the last arc of season 5. That origin ep is one of my favs for sure

Chlo

right???? i'm sooo excited for upcoming characters and arcs!! My fav character hasn't even been introduced yet !!

Marcus D

Bro didn’t see the ring on their wedding ring fingers?😭

Andy tee

Not sure if it's because I'm not American but hearing American voices on anime characters always sounds so cringe to me. It just doesn't fit in my opinion.

Caraxes🐐DT

People hate deku cuz he cries but he has reason to most times lol just them being crazy

Moon

@Jackson Carter You're welcome! You reading this makes me nervous that you saw the thread discussing the potential spoilers (nothing to worry about if you don't know anything), but I'm always happy to help with the watch order!

Shinon

I bet you're a MILLION times more excited than me

2026-10-07 09:00 The thing about Bakugo is, that he got all his self worth as a child from other people telling him his quirk is awesome and that he will be a great hero because of it. However even as a child he started feeling inadequate when Deku, the powerless kid, was acting more like a hero because Deku recognizes when people are in need of help and immediately acts on it. He doesn't realize it at the time, but Deku makes him so mad because it confronts him with everything that he isn't. Once he is then also confronted with people like Todoroki that have arguably even stronger quirks, even that doesn't make him feel good anymore and he is just angry that he is neither the strongest nor is he a kind and empathetic hero right now. Bakugo is basically just a very serious case of imposter syndrome. His entire life he is told he is amazing because of his quirk, something he was born with out of his control. As he grows up this becomes harder and harder for him to deal with, as he matures and realizes his shortcomings. Aizawa, All Might, and even some of the spectators at this point have pointed out multiple times that Bakugo is actually much more aware and thoughtful than he appears, not just in terms of battle IQ. Like you can see when Bakugo goes all out, he can create some absolutely ridiculous explosions, but he controls them to not hurt people, even as he is shouting "DIE!" over and over at them while doing it. He is starting to become more and more aware of this, and even says this almost directly in this episode to All Might. "Even if the world recognizes it, if I don't recognize it myself, then it's trash!". This is already massive character growth, because he now realizes he needs to be comfortable with himself, and not sustain his self worth with external sources like people praising his quirk. tl;dr Bakugo is such a well written character and the perfect foil for Deku.

This is already massive character growth, because he now realizes he needs to be comfortable with himself, and not sustain his self worth with external sources like people praising his quirk. tl;dr Bakugo is such a well written character and the perfect foil for Deku.

Hey UA!

People that hate Deku are annoying. I can understand certain criticisms of him over what the series does with his character but as a character there should be no reason that people fully hate Deku. You can criticize how his character is sometimes handled but not his character itself. Him crying periodically is a stupid thing to bitch about. Not everyone wants a super edgelord teenage MC who doesn't show emotion or doesn't cry. I personally have always liked that he cries and it doesn't happen much after the first couple of seasons anyways.

cant wait to see their reaction to Everything thats coming(iykyk) then compare it to their reaction/opinions now 😭 thats the best part of the show imo

Lol Canon’s takes are amazing, I love them all 😂 especially the All Might glaze and rooting for Bakugo to win at the start. I find his character development amazing, it’s my favorite in this series

It doesn't have to be a binary. It's fair to criticize how much of a constant wimp Midoriya is; it would be just the same for a constant edgelord who never shows any emotion at all. Like, Sasuke would be good example of that opposite type of character who's annoying for the same reasons. It's obnoxious how he's so above it all and the only emotion we really see out of him is anger (except for sparse moments of sadness). A character like Guts is a good middle ground.

That would be a good argument if Deku didn't grow as a character and have a reason for why he's always so emotional (being bullied all your life kind of warps you). Unlike Sasuke, Deku grow and matures into a pretty well rounded character. Plus, Guts is a seinen character, a character written for adults. Of course he's better from the jump, he's supposed to be and even he grows as a character. It's not fair to compare two different genres any way. Especially one from a legendary writer who had been a published author since childhood.

2026-10-07 09:00 I thought these episodes ended differently? Or am I thinking of after credit stuff, because I remember a scene of Midoriya talking with his mom too
