Yam

No MHA again? :(

Black_galaxi BTS

What subscription should I buy to unlock all episodes of Boku no hero?

m1gz

Also before anyone else comments this (BUT HORIKOSHI WINKED AT THERE EXISTANCE IN THIS ONE MANGA PANEL) a tiny panel with the back of some side characters head is not enough to convince anyone BAKUGO GETTING ONE FOR ALL is canon 😂😂 (and who even knows if that was even his idea or if they told him too since the fourth movie came out around when that dropped) also important to note Horikoshi openly stated he didn’t want more movies past the second before “he changed his mind” 😂

m1gz

For those confused Toho telling Horikoshi that he needs to tell his audience they’re million dollar very profitable movies are canon does not mean movies = canon, come on boys we can’t be that guilible. You wanna know what a real canon movie is like go watch the new Demon Slayer movie and compare. Now THATS CANON.

IQLou

50:41 omggggg this dudes quirks are insane!! 1:10:21 YOOO X CATAPULT MISSILE 11:11:44 Temporarily unleashed Dark Shadow 🍿 1:23:40 I love this scene so much from both our guys!! Just finished the movie. I agree, they didn't have to make this villain so ridiculous that Deku had to give up his quirk temporarily. I felt like it left a weird plot-convenient taste to what was already a really great movie. The animation was worth it though lol! Bakugo's explosions with the OFA buff was unreal. I was in awe consistently but kept thinking how do they explain this and bring it back to the main storyline. Now I know why a certain detail happens later on in the show that confirms this event as canon. Either way, I'm glad I finally decided to watch this. It was really fun. Enji is visibly really proud that his son finished off that super tough villain at the end there of course 😂. That scene was great too, the way Shoto can just finish people off like that at their peaks with his ice is scary. I'm glad everyone for the most part got to show out, even Koda 🤣

Yam

It was PEAK

Tivy

Omg who else saw the season 8 trailer that just came out?? I’m so hyped

alex anderson

They will be fine they can figure it out

Mdmarki

I don't know how they gonna reach season 8 in October 4th, there is less than month and a half for half of the season 5, season 6, season 7 and 2 movies

PurpleQueen💜

That's another thing I love about the movie and why it's my favorite out of the bunch. The whole class going plus ultra to save the island was soooo good to see.

Yam

MHA is getting second-class-citizen treatment, its over TuT (its a joke, looking forward for monday release)

Jackson D. Carter

No drop today, we were on crunch time this week and so we just did the movie for Wednesday/Saturday

Yam

I been refreshing the web all day dang, seems like no MHA :/

Swish Mix Productions

I have a feeling we’re gonna be surprised on Monday

Belly

no mha today?

LB

One thing to point out is the way every member gave their all during the fight scenes. Nothing felt unnecessary, it was genuine teamwork at its best. Normally, the spotlight tends to stay on the strongest characters, but this time I loved seeing everyone step up and going Plus Ultra. I was especially impressed by Sero, Uraraka, Aoyama, and even Mineta 🤣

LB

Omg I missed it 😭😭😭😭

Yam

Hoooooooly shit anyone saw the S8 Trailer 2 they uplaoded today on the crunchyroll account (they took it down for some reason) but it looked EPICCCCC

Yam

Anyone knows if we getting drop today?

Stairguy

Deku doesn’t say he will be the most powerful hero, he says he becomes the Greatest hero. It’s an important distinction.

Ashlee

This movie is def my fav out of all of them its just TOO epic 🔥

Swish Mix Productions

HELLA MANGA SPOILERS THO BUT CRAZIEST THING IVE SEEN. DONT WATCH THE TRAILER EVEN WHEN YALL ARE CAUGHT UP GEKS.

Mdmarki

MHA account dropped by accident the final trailer of season 8 AND ITS LOOK SO FUCKING PEAK GEKS, IF I'M NOT READY U ARE NOT EITHER

Alex Mehmeti

One for All really said at the end "great move Deku, this time I'm gonna let it pass and give it back to you. Don't you try that again"

Earthshatter

ngl the plot was very ok.... BUT THE ANIMATION THO!!

Josh Knoebel

Seriously. And people keep saying they don't relate to the main plot, which is only true on a super surface level. The ideas, characters, and events of the movies are reflected in the main story. In some ways more obvious than others (would be spoilers to list them though, unfortunately). I think people just don't really analyze that much. "Media literacy is dead" type shit. If the Geks revisited the movies after finishing the series, I'm sure they'd pick up on how the first two movies are significant to the plot of the entire story. Because they actually discuss and evaluate things, instead of going in with their minds made up and wanting to start fights in the comment section 😂

Abigail Jerry

lol, if you guys thought their fighting capability in this movie was amazing… wait till later seasons 🔥

Dexter Gaba

The movies are CANON ( correct spelling) . A confirmed fact by the mangaka so y’all can stop arguing cuz it’s weird.

Dexter Gaba

Yeah but they are canon?

Kayanolive

If people would stop treating "The movies are not canon" as an insult to the movie, we wouldnt have so many ppl scream about it being canon. If u adapt a few characters or plot points from the movie into the main story canon, that doesnt make the movie canon yall pls stop it

Kayanolive

14:59 McKay cameo! haha

Kayanolive

Yeah the movies aint canon and im tired of hearing that. "what ifs" fits better

Noelle Brown

I agree Cannon. I like to think of the movies more as "what if" scenarios more than obviously canon. Since the movies were written after the current animated parts of the manga and then posthumously placed into the timeline, the characters obviously don't acknowledge these events, and if you view it as canon, then it seems kinda weird for everybody to be acting like this big incident that just occurred didn't happen. Its stuff like this where you could skip and your understanding of the many story wouldn't be affected. I really like the movies though, but it's hard to suspend by belief that the characters would just completely ignore these events, so i like thinking of them more as "what if"s with very slight elements that may be reintroduced into the main story. ABSOLUTELY no hate to the movies tho, they rock.

Tivy

This is a really good analysis

Tivy

Wait that’s so true I completely forgot about that

PurpleQueen💜

Somebody else pointed out if bakugo would have gave it back, he would have given away his explosion quirk since one for all takes the individual quirks as well when passing it on but also I loved watching bakugo and deku work together. They make a great team!

Lightning486

I already responded to someone else with this but I also want to add on a couple of things: They exchanged the power through the open wounds in their hands (If you look closely, you can see the open cut on bakugo's fingers). The blood from Deku's fingers acted as a medium, similar to how ingesting All Might's hair worked. Basically it's just another way of how the DNA is needed for the transfer. As for why Deku kept the power, All Might first suggested it was because the transfer was cut short. Bakugo was seriously injured soon after it began, and the chaos of the fight ended it before One For All could fully take hold. It probably explains why Bakugo could use it immediately, unlike Deku, who had to wait hours for it to activate before his season 1 exam; they SHARED the power this way instead of a permanent transfer. OFA’s transfer needs both intent and enough time for the new wielder to accept it. The other scenario All Might realized immediately after was that One For All has a will of its own: we know that it has its own sort of conscious from what we see in season 5 so far with the original blackwhip user and midoriya's dream. Chances are that the OFA vestiges decided Midoriya was the one it should remain with. Both are valid interpretations in my opinion. I can see how it its kind of just a cheap way to keep the story going, I can't really deny that. but I think it works based on what we know. (also idk if any of this was mentioned in the end discussion, I haven't watched that yet.)

Jenny D

I agree with Cannon and Carter. I like the movies, but its hard to see them as part of the main story. I feel like its more of a side story. Not that its not important, but its hard to fit what's happening in them with the main story. Maybe its more fluid in the manga. I am glad Deku didn't lose OFA. I know the transfer didn't go fully through, but Bakugo definitely did seem to have the same level of power, but also the same limitations with using it like Deku has. I also miss All Might. I know he is more or less quirkless now, but I still thought he'd be around and that we'd see more of the training.

Vera

I will never forget watching these movies in the theater, it hit so fucking hard

india holloman

Just because deku uses 100% doesn’t automatically make him the strongest to just totally stop any overpowered character. This nine dude is a mini all for one. Even all might struggled in some battles. It’s not how strong the power is it’s how you use it. We should never expect deku to instantly come back just by punching at 100% one time and then breaking his bones. He wouldn’t have even beat over haul without eri where he could constantly use %100. I love deku but he’s not there yet.

CatchyGhost

I dunno. I mean I don't completely disagree with you, but I do think there is still a different message here. Kota, Eri, and Katsuma all have different hangups about quirks ("Heroes and quirks make society worse" vs "my quirk specifically is a curse" vs "my quirk isn't good enough to help me achieve my dream", respectively). I think Katsuma is a stronger parallel to young quirkless Midoriya than the other two are, which I found pretty compelling. They all are pretty similar for sure, but there is nuance. (I also don't think Mahoro has a problem with heroes, she just doesn't want her brother to become one and get himself hurt. But that's just my interpretation). And while you're right about the previous movie showing that young heroes can step up, All Might was still there to save them because they weren't really ready yet. In this one, they were actually on their own, and had to fight with no real heroes to fall back on, and they won. I think it shows their growth really well. 100% agree with you about the weird quirk reversion and memory loss though. Bakugo with OfA is a cool concept, with very poor scaffolding to hold it up.

india holloman

It’s anime it’s all cheesy at some point. It still was cool.

jigglenuts3000

Carter’s face bro 😭😭

jigglenuts3000

52:05 to this day I laugh so hard at her touching Deku there 😭 OUT OF ALL THE PLACES ON HIS BODY TO MAKE HIM FLOAT, SHE TOUCHES HIS SHMEAT.

TED103

my favourite of the movies its so peak

Nishant Bharali

Yeah, this was one of the original ending the writer thought of initially, but changed it for something greater.

OH MY GOOOODDDD MY GOATTTEDD MOVIIEIEE

The kids being casually blown away by bakugos blast 😂😂

Sam Davis

Izuku attacked Katsuki Saved

Sam Davis

Deku CAUGHT EM WITH THAT KICK!!

TRILLHO

the vestiges probably took one look at bakugo's psyche and said nah we'll stay over here

Zaptozz88

I really enjoyed the fun Go-Mayham idea with duo one for all. It doesnt inpact the main story AND it was an amazing peak fight. The Last movie ties MUCH better in with the story and has THE BEST animated fight in my opinion. Great reaction yet again boys, much peak to come. Lets goo

Sam Davis

Being Compatible with All For One must be crazy

Sam Davis

Koda being more useful than Rock Lock 😂😂

Sam Davis

Nine seen Izuku powered up even more & said NOPE! Gotta use the lightning

Sam Davis

Katsuki has been putting in work forreal

Sam Davis

One For All 20%!

Sam Davis

Chimera is a problem!!

Sam Davis

Love how the Villains show up & INSTANTLY start wrecking shit 👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿 as it should be

Sam Davis

Kaminari is really the only one other than Izuku to ever call Bakugo Kacchan

Sam Davis

Kacchan of the Bakugos

Sam Davis

This movie amps up so good never gets old

Sam Davis

That prominence burn ate them up

Sam Davis

Of course there's Rock Lock being useless as usual 😂😂😂😂🤷🏿‍♂️🤷🏿‍♂️

MY FAVORITE MHA MOVIE!💥

LookingForOwls

At least one of the movies directly affects something that happens in the main story.

Hayden Ton

the movies aren't really canon... that's why they're so random like this. Nothing permanent like deku losing one for all would happen in a movie.

Albin Limani

Think of it like the vestiges being like we will allow this once, but Deku has to still keep the quirk. This was supposed to be actual ending of the anime but it was scrapped so they made it into a movie. Think of the movies being canon something like this. Some of the things that happen in the movies are acknowledged, but not everything has to be taken as it really happened. It is a fun way to go crazy with animation while not affecting the main continuity or breaking it.

jrnoodles

Thanks Geks! The One for All transfer was a little cheesy.

Fatipapi (Endeavor’s Wife)

That female villain is basically katarina

Daniella

Call me Midoriya cause the way i've rewatched that double one for all scene (like i've specifically gone to netflix and watched the scene multiple times 😭) I understand the mixed feelings of ending...i was also like really? on my first watch. But it makes sense considering with where the movie is placed as Deku hadn't unlocked blackwhip yet - even though in the manga he would have by now - so i guess Bones had to do a 'it was all a dream' for Bakugo otherwise they would have had to deviate from the manga. Imo the first movie is definitely stronger for me but that fight is my favourite out of the four movies although the 4th movie is absolute madness :) thanks guys!

Tee

I suppose my gripe with the movie is other than the fact that that last explanation was…something to say the least, I feel like it kinda does what the main story already does. Deku (and bakugo) showing Mahoro how amazing heroes are? Already done with Kota. Deku showing a kid that his power is actually a blessing? Already done with eri. Even the villain, is an AFO ripoff. Thematically, this movie doesn’t contribute as much to the characters or story as the first one did. The first one was about essentially, the passing of the torch and how the young heroes will step up to the task. This one is a bit dubious, it’s almost the same message as the first few seasons. The animation is glorious, but there’s a reason Horikoshi scrapped that idea of OFA being passed to Bakugo, and I fear the whole passing on the torch only to have it revert back, and to give a bizarre explanation harms the good writing that the mangaka has put in, to actually explain a lot of the world building in the manga. The input by anime only content, feels a bit choppy like it doesnt fit it with the tone or direction of the manga, and I watched this movie a few days ago so I could watch it with y’all, and the fact that the absence of the movie doesn’t affect the plot at all, like I said, it’s a bit too convenient. A fun watch though? Absolutely

Sloth

Deku giving Bakugo his powers was supposed to be the ending of the Manga originally, but Horikoshi changed his plan on the ending at some point. I guess they decided they may as well show the idea in a movie since it's still a pretty cool plot and makes a lot of sense in the story.

Neemz

It’s not crazy to say that the final scenes literally changed me with that animation and OST combo lmao

Vincent S Deluca

I need you guys to watch the Fate/Stay Night: Heavens Feel movies. That specifically probably has the best animation of all time imo, it’s Ufotables magnum opus (tho the DS movies may give it a run for its money)

Rasmus Kjær Poulsen

But still great animation 👍 just not a fan of messing with the story

Rasmus Kjær Poulsen

This is why i've never been a fan of anime series making movies. They always tend to mess up power scaling and the power system.

Fatipapi (Endeavor’s Wife)

YOWAI MO 🔵 👄 🔵🤞🏼

Ryan D

Even though all the movies are technically canon, treat them however y'all want to don't stress. I look at them more as fun what-ifs or like a similiar timeline with some slight deviations. They still have gas animation and important character moments, plus subtle hints at whats to come, but the movies aren't necessarily essential essential to the story (In my humblest of opinions fr). I watched them all after season 7 and My journey was still mint as heck. Can't wait for end of season 5 and S6😁 peak overload

Vernus

Heck yea bro. I’m finally alive!!!

Guy

changes my opinion on the gimmick at the end honestly. i like how they still gave that story line a try tho!

Ale

I'd say your statement is true for all the movies. This was also my first watch for this one, but I've seen the 2 that are left and they were a good watch, just not something i would call relevant for the main story.

radia boumechera

My favourite movie eveeer of all 4 movies !!

Marcus

Fun fact: Originally Horikoshi intended for this idea of Deku & Bakugo both going OFA to be the ending of the series. My guess is that obviously the opponent would’ve been AFO, but glad to have seen it implemented in some capacity, and animated to a tee

Dexter Gaba

At the moment

Nasty

These villains are much better villains then the actual league of villains in the main show lol

Tivy

Bakugo kept OFA? 😭

Lexzc

The explanation is a bit far fetched but somehow itll make more sense down the line,just remember what the black whip holder said "You will be the one to complete OFA",i cant add more because its spoilers for season 6 and 7,but there are enough bits of lore to justify how just this one time and never again,OFA was momentarily shared. Also,the third movie "world heroes mission" takes place during the next arc and before the last arc of season 5.

toshio heng

all the movies are mid story wise lol

define canon

Neptunestar79

I haven’t even watched the video yet but there’s debate on whether or not the movies are canon which all of them are!

Keanu Cullen

This was my first time watching the movie along with you guys and I have to agree with a lot of your points, it really did feel like a movie to just showcase potential. The villain was just a shallow punching bag that allowed all the students to go all out without effecting the main plot. Animation obviously is amazing but in terms of the story its pretty weak. A fun watch though!

McKay Carter

Diabolical pfp

QuirklessEsty

Once again, peak reactions and super based opinions. This movie had so many amazing animated scenes, but that last movie actually felt like it had a story to me… and as much I adore peak animation, idk what can surpass the feeling I had when Dave saw Deku as the future symbol of peace… all to say I’m glad you enjoyed this one, but it does leave a sour taste with the way the ending explanations were handled. Hope you’re ready for more peak 😁

cozo

one of the best scenes in anime honestly so peakk 😭😭 i wouldn't even mind if bakugo kept ofa instead of deku

Dark King Jack

Netflix

Mia Malvik

Bakugo not having memory of what happens is super annoying and I almost put my head through a wall on my first watch of this, but sadly it was necessary to keep the main storyline as intact as possible

Mia Malvik

DONT CARE IF IT'S CANON OR NOT IT'S JUST PURE EPICNESS

JevCor

At what point did they not like the movie? what lmao

よち

Here's a bit of trivia: The plot of "Deku handing over One For All to Bakugo" was scrapped in the final chapter of the original manga. This means we may have witnessed this story in the main story.

Vextipher

I liked the pacing, action, and villains a lot more than the first movie. While the location and the connections of the first movie was better, it dragged at the middle until the end for me and main villain least memorable IMO.

Levifold

I think of this movie as a story beat that could-be-canon, but not actually canon. I know a lot of people would argue against that seeing as certain characters make an appearance in the series later on, but I'd still say it's a could-have-been story. I love it for what it is regardless. Also, I absolutely headcanon that Bakugou woke up before Deku and transferred OfA back to him and then pretended to not remember so as to save his pride.

m1gz

Completely agree with this list

m1gz

This^^

Dub_quinn

Sometimes things are called canon that aren’t because who’s going to tell the fans they don’t actually have to watch it 😅 it happens in other franchises too, no one wants to lose out on the money lol. It’s understandable but viewers always catch on

Jsb011

It has good moments but not my favorite

노바

LOL his face whenever he sees Koda btw, from what I recall, this is a spin-off of MHA, which the author said in the interview that this was the inital idea of the original finale of MHA but he decided to come up another one that's why there are so much parallels of AFO with Nine

Limini

bakugo melting the wall was my fav part as well

Limini

NOT the most powerful but the number one hero

Limini

they should have had bakugo transfer it back at the end, easy peasy

Limini

McKay is such a mood. HES FIVE!!!! he cantjust heal everybody

Sam Davis

Will definitely be watching after work today!!

Ronald

This is the worst movie, the next one is the best, and the fourth movie is either tied with the 1st for second place or slightly ekes it out. Definitely don't lose faith if you didn't like this movie. World Hero mission is INCREDIBLE.

Valde

Are y’all watching on Crunchyroll? The subtitles seem off

Lexzc

Well if you take in to account a certain moment in season 7,this movie is very canon,i doubt that moment would have happened otherwise,also keep in mind,this movie was made before that manga chapter was even done and its not the first time the events of the movies get directly refferenced or become part of the plot of the manga itself.

Avik Das

If you consider Canon then Movie 1 is the most canon , because the events , the characters and a very special equipment is brought in the main story in the future seasons .

raregekota

World’s Hero Mission is underrated 🙏🙏🙏

Farfaraway

My take to these movies are just enjoy it as it is. It’s canon to some extent, but if you think too deeply about it, there’ll be no end to it😂 its a good movie nonetheless

Moon

For all its weak points, the best part of this movie for me was 100% the teamwork between Katsuki and Izuku. I love seeing them fight together, because they understand each other's styles so well that they complement each other like two perfect fitting puzzle pieces. It's so damn satisfying to witness their chemistry on screen, because no other pair can replicate what they can do together. There is a certain pride in seeing these two characters come so far from their days of hatred and fear. Not only are their minds wired in similar directions (analytical, sharp, focused and unafraid to sacrifice their bodies to win/save), they also need minimal words to communicate their intentions during a fight. While outside of fighting, they pretty much suck at using their words to reveal their inner thoughts, they keep up with each other perfectly well and to an almost scary degree throughout the entire series. The fact that Katsuki understood Izuku intended to transfer One For All to him without him needing to spell it out is one of the scenes that is most memorable to me. What's even more shocking is that Katsuki actually took Izuku's hand. I remember a good portion of fans were sceptical about Katsuki accepting Izuku's crazy suggestion, because receiving One For All from Izuku would mean that Katsuki's own power wasn't enough to defeat Nine (a philosophy he always, ALWAYS strives to uphold). He has never wavered in that regard (as in, accepting help that will boost his own abilities without him needing to work at it). At the time, seeing Katsuki take Izuku's hand was THE most heart-stopping scene in the entire movie. I literally held my breath because I wasn't sure if he would, despite hoping and anticipating he would. I thought he would disappoint my expectations. But Katsuki never has. And never will. And I thank Horikoshi every time I watch/read MHA for creating such a complex character who drags out all these emotions in the fandom aka me. Anyways, movie was amazing, reaction was goated, and I can't wait for the next drop. We're in the thick of it now. The story's just gonna keep getting more and more intense. I hope you guys are ready!

Jordan Dahlager

This was the first and only anime movie I've seen in theatres. Needless to say it was peak cinema

T.Yaseen

Bakugo using One for all next to Deku is peak

Nash

Man look at that table lmfaooo I also got some MHA figures (Hawks, Dabi, Endevour, Bakugo and Shigaraki) they’re my top 5 too 😭

Conk

Is this movie as mid as the last one story wise?

Tivy

I love how at the end Deku tells Katsuma, “You can become a hero.” It’s such a nice parallel to the start of his own journey when All Might said the same words to him. It’s cool to see him already inspiring the next generation of heroes and how he’s now become to a kid what All Might once was to him.

Gestrid

Yeah, the ending is a little... "turns out, everything went back to normal"... but it is *definitely* canon.

Yam

"ill see you in UA one day" interesting

Avik Das

LOVE YOU GUYS

Juan Avila

Even tho mha as a whole isn’t my favorite, the moments are always legendary. I remember watching this fight for the first time and just being silent the whole time, the animation and music was actually beyond peak. This fight means sum to me personally, it’s literally all I ever want in a fight besides emotions, it’s so good. This is like my top 10 fight in anime maybe, the animation is insane, and for a modern anime the fight is much longer than I thought it was while watching. The only modern anime fight that was long with insane animation consistently was sukuna vs mahoraga, this fight isn’t lengthy but just me sitting wondering when the peak is gonna end but it kept going with the music getting even more bombastic was just special. 10/10 just pure fighting and spectacle wise, can’t wait for what the new mha season got in stored for us.

FrostyMiniYeets

right before the final blow my patreon gave out and had to refresh, apparently thats the power of peak

m1gz

On top of the whole multiple quirks thing

m1gz

They’re soft “canon”

ssgutd

Those who know

ssgutd

Worth noting that ALL the MHA movies are cannon. Confirmed by Horikoshi and the Anime in later seasons. The premises are pretty wild and convenient but they are cannon. 💯

Miguel

I love the reaction people have to that fight

Marsuvies Black

So basically one for all gave Bakugo embers and let Deku keep the power is the easiest explanation.

Light D Yagami

One For All said we ain't gonna give this quirk to this crashout Bakugo

Paul

The animation was goat, that's what I expect from a MHA movie :).

LeBron Glazer (Bronsexual)

I mean there’s a pretty big difference between a “canon” movie like this and an actual canon movie like Haikyu or Demon Slayer which actually moves the plot of the overarching story

llB0JANGLESll

I love this movie. I did an edit of the ending with “you say run” and added sfx to this scene. Not that it needed it but it was a passion project thing 😁. Good reaction and post discussion fellas! https://youtu.be/J-5UP1w99BQ?si=wnECWcTaFj8EjlII

Evelyn_Endwise

Movie 2 is the strongest of the four movies imo, despite the iffy return of OFA at the end. It's the only one where basically all the class gets to participate in the plot to a decent extent as well as having great Deku/Bakugo payoff which I think the movies should aim for. Personally I'd say it goes 2>1>4>>>>>>>>>>>3. (3 is a major miss imo). 1 is a bit vanilla (I do really like it tho), but of all the movies it fits very neatly into the existing MHA story. The rest go a bit too nuts to be believable.

Sickness

Dude I am not lying when I just literally said to myself "Let me go on Patreon and see if these guys have uploaded the MHA movie reaction yet" because I haven't been on for a good week or so. I am fucking telepathic or some shit. That must be my quirk. This is dope I got this to watch before bed. :)

Tivy

Basically the reason why this movie’s threat is on such an overpowered, unprecedented, AFO-level scale is because they needed someone THAT powerful to show what the final battle of MHA could have looked like if they had kept this idea for the ending.

Indifferent Denji

These movies are canon period, but it really doesn't matter because they have no plot weight on the over arching story. But they dont have to be not every entry in a series has to be, like currently the latest dbs movies plot doesn't matter other than to give gohan and picclo a new form. And that is rare for dragon ball they've only had a few movies that are cannon. but mha is a special case these events do happen just they arent that important in the grand scheme and to be honest thats fine cause the next few arcs repercussions are much bigger than than this. This is something you are gonna have to understand with anime they life to do shi like this all the time. Modern anime are chainging that with Demon slayer, jjk, adn csm. Its gonna be hard but this is really something ur gonna have to understand. Mha is special in that the movies are cannon so you can let yourself have fun and still appreciate the rest of the series i can assure you that you wont be disappointed at all. As someone who watched all this go down in real time i understand the feeling but seeing then as canon can enrich the story. Especially if you guys plan to watch vigilantes. And there is a nine prequel manga too if you want to see deku and bakugo meet him pre this movie and get more info on what his deal was. But id watch the end of this season before.

JoLen

I can’t wait for You’re Next, though we have a while to go

Ana

I love All Might and he hasn’t left he’s just not fighting. He’s not the main character guys 😭😭 Remember this is about the next generation and the passing of the torch

Gabriel Mendez

I'm gonna cry watching this with you

Kinx

For those that were saying to watch this right after season 4, it clearly shows Tokoyami flying around in the movie. It would of spoiled his episode in season 5.

JoLen

Dark shadow got hella nerfed in that cave bro

Bri

I agree with you guys that the ending is a little lack luster, but I can’t help loving it due to the animation and how well they’ve depicted the students working together. The last fight scene was absolute cinema! I also really like it because Hirokoshi (the mangaka) originally intended for MHA to end like this, with Deku giving Bakugo one for all in the last fight. He ended up going a different route with the story, so I think this was a really nice homage too what could’ve been.

The whole class went plus ultra. Exept Invisibile Girl lol. MVP has to be Sero, he was awesome.

Grady

U guys should do a “the iron claw” reaction that movie is straight up devastating

SilverAtlas

The best way to think about the movies I found is that the new characters introduced in it exists in the main series, but the events of the movies themselves just can't realistically happen. There are a few mentions of these new characters in the Anime itself, but this movie in particular just goes way too far. I think in Japan the definition of "canon" is a bit looser so they can just not worry about making extra content all fit together.

goblin.bones

Echoing what others have mentioned - Deku transferring OFA to Bakugou was actually a major part if Horikoshi's original ending for the series, and one that he gave approval for being used in this movie instead! I think that also lends to why the transfer back to Deku feels a little choppy in terms of writing/lore, along with another plot point you guys won't get until later in the story. I won't go into details either, but the movies were both (at least somewhat) overseen by Horikoshi and were canonized in the manga in a light way that doesn't affect the main plot, but I don't wish to spoil! all in all - I just have to be honest and say, as someone who considers MHA to be one of my favorite pieces of media, getting to relive it through yall and watch you genuinely enjoy it and engage with it gives me the same excitement and happiness I got when I read & watched it for the first time, and I'm so grateful for that, and for your candid interactions with it as a series. Cant wait to see how you feel about the story to come. : )

Many parents have to do this, not just in those cultures. It’s just a matter of teaching your kids to be responsible at a young age, some kids had to grow up fast well others got a chance to be kids.

Chayanne Acosta

Well said, I agree with this 100%!

m1gz

I will say the first movie definitely is more canon than the others as its directly mentioned and connected to the main mha story. I think the first may have been created to be canon but the three after were definetly created for the $$$$ so it makes these "canon" statements seems a tad hollow.

Colin Boehling

ending......

m1gz

Cannon gets it these movies aren't truly canon they're "canon". Like Horikoshi didn't write this, there's a reason they leave it off so it can be like nothing ever happened at the end. Ofc its amazing some of the best animation out there but like Cannon said its scales things up to sorta an unrealistic amount and doesn't really connect to the over arcing story. I'm sure Horikoshi enjoyed them when he watched them and he might call them cannon and wink at there existence but the truth is still that they were never apart of his original timeline of the story, and of course he's gonna say they're canon lol these movies make millions of dollars.

JevCor

Yeah pretty much.

Pavlo

So what im getting from the comments is that hori was gonna end the show here but didnt so he let bones use the idea for the movie?

lawswater

spoilers for end of the show kind of⬇️ the (unintentional) foreshadowing is insane

lawswater

crazy watching this for the first time, i never got around to it for some reason. it definitely doesn't feel like my hero towards the end and doesn't feel very cannon but for sure enjoyed it! ofa bakugo goes crazy, but the reasoning is so empty

m1gz

Sero was truly moving like spiderman this film buddy was not giving up.

Tivy

1:55:31 — Respectfully I gotta disagree lol. I do miss All Might, he’s probably the most lovable characters in all of anime, and I do miss seeing him in his prime. But his character isn’t being ruined or squandered just because his role in the story has shifted. At the end of the day, MHA isn’t his journey. The whole point from the start has been him passing on the torch, and part of that means stepping back so we can follow the journey of the person he chose to carry it. Just like how the embers of OFA have faded, his role as a powerful presence has too, and that’s intentional. What makes All Might great isn’t being the jacked and unstoppable hero in 4K lol. It’s his ideals, his selflessness, and the way he’s become an incredible mentor. Watching him guide his successor in the background is just as powerful in its own way as watching him fight in the spotlight, and I think that makes his character even better. Small Might has a special place in my heart :)

Tina L

The silence during Two for All made my day.

Alan

I never really understood the whole leaving your kids unattended to work thing in Korean and Japanese cultures. The only logical reason that makes sense to me is that the crime rate in Japan is a lot lower than other places? That mixed with the culture of working super long hours maybe?

Storm Alex

i agree but this movie was definetly the biggest stretch of them all.

Lori

This! And to add, one of the biggest questions that MHA tries to answer is “what makes a hero?” Not just the greatest hero, but ANY hero.

Lori

Regarding All Might… I miss the crap out of him, too, and I miss seeing him fight. But the fact of the matter is that this isn’t All Might’s story (although I desperately want his full story lol). All Might is the GOAT, but he is unfortunately only a supporting character in Deku’s story. A crucial supporting character, though, bc he is both Deku’s ideal/dream and also the cause of Deku’s main conflict. By giving him OFA, he also gave Deku this centuries’ old legacy of tragedy and responsibility that he frankly should’ve been more upfront about lmao (in his defense, I suppose, he thought/hoped AFO was dead and no longer a threat). The fact that Deku accepted the immense burden of OFA’s legacy with such grace and courage proves that AM chose correctly.

Tivy

1:50:30 — Just to clear up something guys, Deku never says “this is the story of how I become the most powerful hero.” He says “the world’s greatest hero.” And if MHA has taught us anything, it’s that being the greatest hero isn’t just about being the strongest. This isn’t me indicating anything, but it’s worth keeping the difference in mind when thinking about where his journey is headed!

Jyle

Every single movie is cannon.

1:34:43 is one of the most epic moments in anime

Tamar

Animation sold this movie for me because the writing was straight buns 💀A good movie if you suspend your disbelief

Lori

Confirming that this movie was originally Horikoshi’s idea for the series ending! Just imagine AFO/Shig in Nine’s place, I guess lol, which would explain why he was so insanely OP. Knowing this, it’s clear how Horikoshi views Bakugou’s importance to the plot and to Izuku, bc their strategy simply wouldn’t have worked with anyone else. (And yes, Bakugou with OFA is scary powerful enough to melt through a mountain 🤣 )

Dub_quinn

True, the seasons progress with or without the movies

Dark King Jack

Yep he did, the crows were clutch

Dark King Jack

Fantastic Movie

Ana

W packages

Dub_quinn

Koda finally got his flowers lol, but way more excited to see other side characters shine like Sero, Shoji, and Jiro

Mufufu

If they like this one just wait for the last movie, PEAK sakuga and better story telling

Mufufu

I love their faces when Deku gives One For All. They're like, nope, the denial haha

Swish Mix Productions

I just look at it as an insane what if, im ready for more S5!!

Obidoug

I dont want to spoil anything, but anyone telling you this movie isnt canon is wrong, and this movie especially so

Dub_quinn

I absolutely love the seasons more (there’s way more emotion and meaning in the fights), but just to see possibilities in the universe we love and chef kiss animation, these movies are nice!

JevCor

Yeah also I believe the only thing canon about these is that he takes some of the characters he likes and adds them to his collection.

Cat

The animation in MHA movies is always amazing. I think the third movie might be my favourite overall? Not sure. But it's so hard to pick it over this one caus I love seeing Bakugo & Deku fight together and we get so much of it in this movie. And the animators really did pop off at the end

Creed ⟢

Yeah I agree, these movies are partially ‘cannon’ in my opinion. I see them as passion projects more than anything else tbh. But there’s something in the main show later on that may explain why the author considers them cannon. Won’t say too much though.

JevCor

I think he just takes some characters from the movies to add to canon moreso than them actually being canon, I also just treat them as one off what ifs because they don't impact the main continuity.

Tina L

That is unbearably sweet!

Tivy

The double OFA scene with Deku and Bakugo always leaves me shook. The emotion, the music, the animation, thinking Deku is quirkless again—it is one of the coolest yet most shocking moments in the entire series. But the more I think about it, it is SUPER conflicting. I get why OFA chose to stay with Deku, and I respect how his willingness to give it up stays true to MHA’s themes. But although Bakugo forgetting was the cleanest way to wrap it up (if he remembered, it might’ve been weird), the way he just forgets is a bit too convenient. And while these events are “canon”, this movie is more of an interesting take on a “what if” scenario. Horikoshi said this was his original ending concept, so ultimately this is a passion project demonstrating what that could’ve looked like. For me, it’s simultaneously one of MHA’s most exhilarating highs yet most conflicting ideas. In the end, I think it’s just for enjoyment and seeing glimpses of OFA/Deku’s potential as he grows.

지원

yeah it is good

Kevin

This was such a peak movie an think about it… The strength Bakugo has is crazy bc even with it being his first time using OFA and having that much control over it was insane. It just shows how prepared he would’ve been if he was the one to originally get OFA but I’m glad they chose to keep it with Deku. like it just shows how mature Deku is as well being able to read the situation and remember that he would have been able to use it just as it’s embers bc I didn’t even think about it until he mentioned it.

Cat

They both had cuts on their hands so when they rubbed their hands together Deku's blood got into Bakugos. That's how he transferred it

Enma

is this movie worth watching? I havent seen any of the movies other than the first one which was pretty mid to me.

Cat

I love all the parallels between Deku & Katsuma and All Might & Deku. Deku telling katsuma he could be a hero too is such a wholesome moment. Deku just goes around inspiring everyone

Tyler

Horikoshi said this was how he was originally going to end the series but he thought of something better so he let bones use the idea for the movie

kai

double One for All gagged me so bad on first watch

keyton bush

Canonicity aside, it’s an absolutely peak hero move on Deku’s part to give up his quirk after never having one and being given the ultimate gift. His desire to be a true hero far exceeds a mere ‘hero fantasy’ where one receives glory and adulation. Deku truly does good for its own sake rather than his own reward.

86 LilaS

My god these subtitles are so janky

NINJA SWORD

Mostly this isn't cannon at all, all the movies are like that

Connor O'Hara

lol the movies are awesome but they do have a problem where everything has to go back to normal by the end of the movie. deku has the power back, bakugo forgets that ever happened, and nobody died. still a fun watch tho

Nash

Wait what?

Enzo Becherel

I gotta say the ending is a bit iffy on the "one for all choosing to stay in deku" part, but i completely overlook it purely because of the rule of cool

Nigos The Titan

Animators had bills to pay 😭

Volt

Ending was the coolest and dumbest thing ever at once but it's still peak, the my hero movies are all sort of canon, where the main canon things are the new characters and the things surrounding them but this one is definitely the one that plays with the rules of the story the most in a bad way with the ending it just doesn't add up but we ball.

Tyler Owens

It was the last movie I saw in theaters before Covid and it was INCREDIBLE. The whole theater cheering, I’ll never forget and probably never experience to the same degree again.

cade-carter

why does anyone thing this... he would lose his combustion power because it would transfer away stupid

Jimmy

I was also a bit annoyed by how the movie ended but Bakugo coulda just given back the quirk so I didnt look into it that much. The movies have no impact to the main story despite being canon so I just view it as an over the top power of friendship side quest.

Nic Lichtner

Agreed the reasoning for one for all going back to Deku and Bakugo "forgetting" is just a little too convenient. Good fucking movie though, but fitting it into the cannon story is... hard to believe imo.

Guy

Seeing this in the theater was a TRANSCENDENT EXPERIENCE when it came out holyyyyy

Chosos Wife

Honestly the whole ending with the soundtrack had me sobbing like a baby

Chosos Wife

The subtitles i watched were slightly different and they explained what happened at the end as OFA granting a miracle to help save the day. Which also makes more sense in terms of him not having to like ingest any DNA (well I guess they rubbed bloody fingers) or having to wait for a few hours for it to work etc

V STAN

My absolute favorite part about this movie is how it does a great job at involving all of class 1A

stako

been waiting to watch this for the first time with you guys. im so locked in.

Elle B.

My favorite thing about this movie is just the Bakugo/Deku friendship development. They are such a great team.

Tivy

I’m only halfway through, but I love how this movie gives everyone their moment to shine. At its core, MHA has always been about Deku and Class 1-A, so I’m glad it reminds us why our main crew is worthy of being the world’s future pro heroes.

V STAN

LESGOOOO!!!!

Creed ⟢

Honestly one of my favourite anime movies of all time. MHA doesn’t miss 🔥🔥

alex anderson

To be honest this movie didn't as hard compared to the first, it just feels like the same thing but in a different context. For me, it just looks nice.

humbleandkindness

Also just to cover it since idk what day it is, Happy Birthday Cannon!

This movie means so much to me, I love it. When I watched this movie the first time, it was with my now fiancée and it was the day I realized I loved her. So happy to see yall react to it as well, I'm excited to watch

Mugiwara

Now I can't wait for them to react to movie 3. I personally think it has 2 of the best bakugo and todoroki fights in the series.

bondbond53

I don't care what Horikoshi says this movie is not canon to me personally lol

monsterhead

"I dont care if he's at the zoo" poor koda 😭😭

Fun fact: this was initially how the manga was supposed to end but Horikoshi (the mangaka) came up with a better idea
