It’s so funny

Hej Hej

I started watching this show at the same time you guys did, and is currently at the end of season 2. even tho this show is not one of my favorites (even tho its good) this episode was definitely a top 10 or even 5 anime moments for me haha. amazing fight scene!

notchrisramirez

Has ANYONE in the comments brought up the discord icon popping up on the video the past couple episodes???

Alex Mehmeti

Th author said that he almost broke to tears when he watched their final attacks animated

Marcus D

Not the full legal name 😭

April

Bruh I’ve read the manga a few times and watched the anime once before going through it with you guys and just realized that HIS MOM ALWAYS KEEPS HIS ICE SIDE FACING HER. Like when they’re sitting on the couch she can only see his ice side and even covers his red hair with her hand when she tells him he can become a hero. I’M SHOOK. It wasn’t just hatred for his dad but subconsciously taking in his mom’s rejection for half of him too.

Ariana🥀

Since you’ve now watched your first Keeping Up With The Todoroki’s episode. Fun fact: The creator of the manga has said that his favorite part of MHA to write was the Todoroki Family.

Brittany (Ultraanimegirl4)

'Flick with your toes!' Is such a Brig comment, Cannon carrying on the torch there 😆

DangaoAkira123

I hate how Endeavor looks so epic and All Might is just wrecked 🤣 Flick with your toes lmaoo 🤣

monkeyG777

Keep em comin

Lucas

When is the next video coming?

Jimmy Gilligan

If you like the show from now, there’s no reason you won’t like it the whole way through. I know it has lower points but there’s always dabbles of great stuff in them too so can’t wait for the rest of the series! 🔥

Josh Knoebel

When the hair starts blowing in the wind you know it's about to get CRISP

cozo

it was good but true

Mikey214

7:17 Jack has definitely seen this 😂

V STAN

Tomorrow I think

‎

Isn't next one dropping today

Xavier Martinez

Damn if yall thought that was was good, yall got a lot coming for you in the future 😂

Fatipapi

The good people always go first 😔

Albin Limani

Her quirk is zero gravity, not gravity control. She can only take away gravity from things, not change it.

Marcos Vera

Lets not pretend that im totally NOT refreshing the page for new mha reactions

Fatipapi

I loveee how absolutely hyped yall are and how much you guys just are enjoying this ahahaha the smiles and all have me smiling and being hyped! 🤗

Fatipapi

I did not remember that fight being that epic, holy moly

Fatipapi

Yikes okay i said this a bit too soon 😂😭 i didnt see the DA yet before ppl come for me

Fatipapi

Ugh Endeavor could burn me to a crisp and Id thank him for it

Fatipapi

Cant Ochaca make herself SUUUUPERRRR 🕺🏼⭐️ heavy so she doesnt get blasted away?

Fatipapi

Jesus christ, 512 comments 😂😂 i feel late af, BUT LETS FCKNG GOOOO

Hirochi

And there it is, the legendary Yutaka Nakamura animated that final Deku vs Todoroki clash, he appears multiple times in the series but he really pops off in the movies. His style is pretty recognizable so if you pay attention you'll know when he animates a scene. :)

sleepymiffi

*pretending i don’t care about the next mha drop so it will come faster*

cozo

41:36 it's not garunteed he'll be able to no diff todoroki in the future todoroki can get way stronger over time too

Nico

Endeavor and Shoto are both so freaking sick with the way they use the most simple and typical powers. Deku vs Shoto will always be the best ep in the entirety of s2 to me.

ginabella

Enji Todoroki, I will ALWAYS hate you~

Ladnon

^^^

Dakota

Todoroki the goat. One of my favorite characters in all of anime.

m1gz

Bruh comment section….. y’all are not fucking slick, insinuating at future character arcs is also spoiling and y’all are doing it over and over again with all due respect stfu….

Mitch

That’s actually so insane I never knew that. That’s why u gotta read manga man damn😭😭😭😭

Mitch

They HAVE TO do a dub vs sub comparison for this show when they finish. It’s 100% worth it. Pretty much any elite scene in this show is just as good in the dub if not better. I think they would all be pleasantly surprised at how good some of the moments hit in dub.

Nanashi

I'll be the last Endeavor fan standing☝️ love his writing

cozo

because theres more to master roshis character, mineta is js comedic relief 😭

botanbutton

Definitely still one of my top moments from this show. I was already enjoying the show, but it was this episode that thoroughly entrenched me.

‎

Mineta hate so real

Crystal

Idk how ppl hate mineta but love master roshi… that disgusting old perv is the lowest you can go

Crystal

Yeah….i wont be able to wait…imma go rewatch it by myself 👏😭

cozo

they havent tried too

Sam Davis

Fun Bracket/list idea for you guys Rank your 1-A Students from smartest to dumbest 1-20. Later this season you guys will find out who are the smartest kids in class and I'd like to see who places who where

Chlo

YESSS. the todofam is one of my favorite aspects of the show. It's suuuuch a good side plot

Gilded Jackal

Jackson "Pre-watch" Carter strikes again! Never beating the allegations bro lol

Kale

I’ll still never understand why they wasted so much money and resources and literal workers on the movies 🫠 yeah cool a movie can be fun but we did NOT need 2 movies in the same span of unironically the 2 most important seasons of the show. Let alone the fact there was already 2 movies made before that point 😭

Studio Geck

Who or what is horanghae 😂

Hector

If y'all think this was good... the movies take it to all another level trust

m1gz

Only weird Midoriya and Bakugo shippers hate Uraraka she’s the best

Justin Baker

Ngl I would love for you guys to watch the dub of this episode. I can honestly say I think the dub for this show is better up until the end of the 2nd season, maybe into the third. Actual voice acting wise, the sub is amazing, but translation wise, the dub is far superior in the early seasons. Midoriya and shotos lines during the fight are much more palatable in the dub imo. Don't even need a reaction, but I'd recommend at least checking it out in your free time. This episode is fire no matter what tho lmaoo

horanghae

Purchased only this episode just cause I can't wait on yt LOL. this is literally one of the best episodes ever. The frame impacts, the buildup, the background story and literally the fights are all chefs kiss.

Sdat1guy

The todoroki family is if not the best story of MHA. The emotions are sooooo strong with that character.

Pavlo

They could never make me like u endeavour 🙏🔥

Rosa

Forgot how great there two episodes were. Idk if i ever really actually hated Bakugo despite his behaviour obviously being gross, but this was definitely when he gained some respect from me. Also yeah the Uraraka hate makes no sense. Not much to say about the Midoria vs Todoroki other than absolute cinema.

86 LilaS

Lol I remember in season 1 when someone said they didn’t like Todoroki that much because he’s too arrogant. He went from arrogant edgelord to cool af tragic hero

rue

so far the only ones he’s called by name are her and kirishima

Stairguy

The ssn 3 Mineta hate is gonna be great

Stairguy

I was actually surprised they missed that. One of them typically seems to pick up on those things. It's funny too because at the beginning of the fight he calls her round face like he doesn't know her name.

Stairguy

It's implied that what the mom did is on purpose, they just won't show it for obvious reasons. Shoto just rightfully blames his father for driving her crazy.

Marcus D

(You’re welcome for the cheat sheet Jack 🫡🤫)

Marcus D

Jack is just goated at analysing and I’m sick of people saying he’s been spoiled 😤😤

Cannon Andrus

He’s my GOAT

Ninjinzo

PEAK FIGHT

Ante

I find Cannon's random glazing of All Might hilarious for some reason. The way he said "All Might would never" with such conviction sent me.

Albin Limani

There may be better writters in manga industry, but man no one has a pen like Horikoshi when it comes to the art, especially later on in the series. He is my favourite mangaka art wise.

Albin Limani

He is not just legendary, he is the GOAT. He has a whole animation technique named after him. I don't think any animator comes close to his popularity and infulence.

Albin Limani

Thunderbolts* was absolute peak.

kiiturii

Dude yeeess I was so rooting for Todoroki here. What a sick fight that was

Albin Limani

Horikoshi Kohei, the creator of My Hero Academia, cried when watching this episode. It is insane how much this episodes improves upon the source material. The animation, music, voice acting, literally every single thing about the episode is perfect. Also yes, Horikoshi is literally on fire anytime he writes something related to Todoroki. You also just witnessed the GOAT of animation, Yutaka Nakamura, flex his skills here. The technique where debris is drawn like cubes was invented by him and is named the "Yutapon Cube" technique for that reason. He does so many scenes for MHA and especially in the movies he really gets to show-off what he can do. Also, The Todoroki OST is named Kimi no Chikara(Your power), which is what Midoriya says to him so he can activate his quirk. That is also easily my favourite OST in the whole anime.

Mimz

Todoroki is the goat! One of my favorite fights and arcs in the series

Sari-chan

I had to rewatch the last bit three times! Once for the story, twice for the cinema, third time for Carter's face lol He is so transparent with how he feels, it is so endearing! And Cannon cracks me up with wanting Mineta gone every chance we get! All of you guys make this rewatch so much more fun, thanks for that!

Paul

Man that final strike sequense is I N S A N E! Cannot wait for what comes in the next seasons!!

BlueSmurf

I love this arc because it continues to show how big deku's heart is.

Jenny D

These were great episodes. I like Uruaka. She's so nice and put up a good fight. Todoroki's backstory is so sad. I hate his father. I have mixed emotions about his mom. If it was an accident withe the tea pot then that's one thing, but if she intentionally hurt him then that's terrible. I'm excited for the next drop. It's hard to say who will win overall. Tosoroki and Bakugo are both strong, but Todoroki has been using a lot of power in his attacks. Unless he uses his fire he may be in trouble.

JaJa

Deku v Todoroki: The most epic hi-5 in all of anime history 😂

Cannon Andrus

We love it

Rasmus Kjær Poulsen

Man MHA fans really does yap alot in comments holy...

JaJa

Fun fact: Bakugo calls uraraka her real name and he only uses real names for ppl he respects/acknowleges

Yara

Cannon "Mineta almost died I wish he did." i choked on my noodles

T.Yaseen

Yeah this fight is still so peak...

DontFailArtSchoolEren

There wasnt really much actual choreography during the fight, it was just deku flying to todoroki and todoroki lifting his hand to use his fire not like the speedy camera movements in levi vs kenny. The flashback build up, the music score and the use of impacts frames and speed lines really made this moment peak.

mina

studio bones is one of my favorites. you can just see the love they put into their shows!!

jessiefungirl

also i think minetas joke was during the fight he assumed katsuki was a sadist for how he treated ochaco

jessiefungirl

i always love that the crowd gets up and boos bakugo, but none of them heard when he gave ochaco a fair warning to quit before they started. he said he wouldn't go easy if she tries him and try him she did! enough for him to respect her... even if he assumed it was with midoryas plan.

jessiefungirl

100% convinced it's the shippers

mina

omg give it a rest. is ne not allowed to question things??

jessiefungirl

Nanami's Wife

The Todoroki vs Deku tournament episode is so damn good. I remember having chills the first time I watched it. The dialogue, the music, the animation, everything about this episode is absolute cinema. And Todoroki's backstory never fails to make me cry. The more you know about his backstory, the more tissues you will need😭

Nash

Your comments >>>>

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).

Dasha

studio Bones is the best thing that could have happened to this show

Moon

Izuku breaking his fingers over and over and over again just to make his point while trying to win the match proves he is just as unhinged as anyone else might be in the class. He might be a cinnamon roll but he definitely has some screws loose in his head because there's no way any sane person would jump straight into breaking their fingers multiple times just to win a match. Obv, Izuku's goal is single-minded and he's stubborn, but that doesn't mean everyone will be like him and have no regard for the pain they must go through and the recovery they might have to endure after using full power without hesitation so many times. He's crazy, so Todoroki is right lmfao. This match held more than just a sport festival brawl, it is where a boy saw the pain that another was living in, and saved them at the cost of an amazing opportunity to be recognised by pros despite giving his all as a fledgling hero. It is where wounds were torn open but also soothed, and where Todoroki was able to overcome his hatred for his father for the first time, enough to set aside his thirst for revenge and spite and refocus on his original, ultimate goal: to be a hero. Izuku reminded him of his purpose and brought him back to it, and it makes him both admirable and heroic because his actions helped to save someone who was most likely in a pit of self-loathing and despair.

Moon

S2 Ep 10 is one of THE best episodes in the entire MHA series. From the directing to the animation to the emotional points it hit, everything was a masterpiece in storytelling. I remember sweating and sobbing throughout the last scene where they clashed, and You Say Run playing in the background didn't help with the tears either. Some interesting things to note are: - When a young Todoroki is crying in his mother's arms about how he doesn't want to be like Endeavour because he doesn't want to end up bullying (abusing) his mother like he does, his mother comforts him by reminding him of his dream to be a hero. She says "It's okay for YOU to be one", which implies that it's fine for Todoroki to do it because he's not like his dad. - Meanwhile, she strokes the back of his head to soothe him, but her hand only ever touches his right side, the side that he freezes with, which he inherited from her. You'll notice that when she's looking at Todoroki, she only ever touches his right, and completely avoids his left side, which reminds her so much of her abusive husband. - When Todoroki peeks into the kitchen after overhearing his mother's desperate conversation on the phone, only his left side can be seen from where his mother is standing. This is probably the biggest reason why she poured the kettle of boiling water onto his left side, because all she could see was Endeavour, not her son, since he inherited the same eye and hair colour on his left. - In fights, it's not usually ideal for two opponents to clash with their palms facing each other, unless it's a specific move or a certain martial art. For these two, punches would be more appropriate. HOWEVER, you'll see that Todoroki reaches out to Izuku with his palm open while saying "thank you" for helping him realise the importance of recognising and acknowledging himself as an individual. Izuku reciprocates his palm offering when he charges up One For All, which symbolises him accepting Todoroki's gratitude. While they both are vying for the winning spot in this match, they never fail to extend sportsmanship and empathy to each other throughout the fight.

mina

omg really??

Nanami's Wife

I literally know no one who doesn't like Ochaco. If she has any haters I swear it's probably like 3%. I love Ochaco, she's one of my faves

Moon

Bakugo VS Uraraka was one of my fav fights in the school festival arc. I love how they added a layer to Katsuki's character by showing his respect for Uraraka (albeit in a rather aggressive way) and how he says "What part of her was frail?" Gender doesn't matter to Katsuki. As long as someone is a threat to his dream of becoming the number one hero, he takes them on head on with the sole determination to defeat them. Kaminari (the electricity guy) was essentially underestimating or downplaying Uraraka's efforts and strategies by calling her "such a frail girl", although he probably doesn't mean anything bad by it. But still, it really gives us a glimpse as to why Katsuki is such a beloved character. He doesn't treat girls differently just because society views them as weaker than men, he treats everyone equally mean, which shows that he, at least, is better than a lot of others in terms of the misogynistic views people like to label women with in superhuman society. More than that, he respects and finds her a worthy opponent, because by the end of the fight, he's calling Uraraka by her name instead of the nickname he gave her based on her appearance (round cheeks).

노바

finally! THE episode!! btw, would you guys mind to balance your volumes too? the volume gets too high when you guys are excited but too low when you guys are casually speaking would be nice if you guys would keep this for consideration too!

Nanami's Wife

Mckay is goated for those tortilla chips from Trader Joe's, it's too good.

Hector

Let's not get ahead of ourselves here

lololol

Daniella

Deku re-breaking his fingers all for a high-school tournament is quite literally insanity 😭 also i don’t think i’ll ever get over the impact frame of Todoroki’s move holy peak!!

Liptrouski

Might be the best episode in the series

jessiefungirl

nah, that's just horikoshi cosplaying as jack

Ana

This and I love Zeke too 😭😭

Jimmy Gilligan

Carter is so right about jack. He literally questions everything even about how people look even though his fav show is One Piece and I know everyone looks weird as helllll in that

Sasha

Everytime Mineta opens his mouth Cannon's face😧

m1gz

People like Endevor like you like Zeke not because he’s a good guy but because he’s interesting and rlly well written

Sasha

Jack read the manga

Ana

Finally. Just do it

TheSauceGuy

I might have to give this show a watch simply for fire mustache guy

hanihae

cannon’s beef with mineta and love for all might is so valid

Toff

PEAAAAK

BubblePriest

Since starting MHA, I have been patiently waiting for it this scene. So good. Now there is 1 more main scene I am waiting for, and 1 minor scene.

Mia Malvik

Goated comment

Vextipher

Jack once again hiding his audible subscription to MHA.

Mia Malvik

Aaaa I hate to do this, but maybe not say things about future character arcs and developments? Even if they suspect it, it's not necessary to confirm it like this 🙏🏼

There are certain moments in life when you witness a piece of media that resonates with you so deeply that it shakes you to your core. For me, these moments bring on what I can only describe as a sensory overload — in the best way possible. My head goes fuzzy. I feel a surge of adrenaline. I get chills, I tear up, and sometimes I even forget to breathe because I’m so locked in to what’s happening in front of me. When I feel that, I know — by my standards — I’m witnessing the absolute peak of art. Something that taps directly into my raw, instinctive emotions. And I know it will lock itself away in a corner of my brain till the day I die. The climax of this episode is an example of that feeling. Everything aligned perfectly to set the stage for one of the greatest scenes in this anime. The buildup was electric. All of Japan was watching. The short glimpses into Todoroki's past added weight to the story and gave meaning to his actions. Deku’s relentless struggle and determination - trying to win by any means necessary, one broken finger after another. And then the final impact: two beloved characters going all out, 100%, Plus Ultra. The animation didn’t just do the moment justice — it elevated it. It’s easy to see why the author cried watching this episode brought to life. Below are a few other examples of where I felt that same overwhelming sensation. You may agree or not, but these are some my personal favourites. (Brackets contain spoilers) Arcane season 1 episode 3 (Powder's explosion) Haikyuu season 4 (Hinata's receive) Demon Slayer season 1 episode 19 (Hinokami Kagura) Game of Thrones season 6 episode 9 (Jon Snow standing alone against the charge) Hunter x Hunter episode 131 My Hero Academia season 3 (!!!) Demon slayer season 2 (Tanjirou snapping vs Daki, and Tengen vs Gyutaro) Kuroko no Basket season 3 Fairy tail (Natsu vs the Twin Dragons) If you've had similar moments - I'd be interested to hear what yours are. It's amazing how art can hit us like that.

Hanah

Love how y’all noticed Bakugo is a smart cookie right away unlike other reactors. Bro got personality issue, just like how Todoroki has mental issues, but there’s a reason why he’s fan favorite. Of course those 3 all have their unique circumstances but isn’t it funny how Deku, the one started without power, is the most mentally stable among them lol? Btw this isn’t clearly stated or confirmed by the author, but there’s suspect that Todoroki may suffer from PTSD from his dad’s abuse. You’ll see the same flashback from ep 10 repeated throughout the series, which is a common symptom of PTSD. Just joined patreon cuz I couldn’t wait for your reaction to this ep. Can’t wait for the next one 🙌

Mia Malvik

Love Jack for immediately pointing out how Bakugo is showing Ochaco the respect she deserves by not holding back. I love their fight so much. And yeah Bakugo isn't the type you'd think to be really intelligent at first glance but he truly is

Mia Malvik

Probably my most rewatched anime scene of all time. The music and animation after that build-up is just top tier. Todoroki's movement when the blast hits is just 🤌🏼

Juanca

I don't remember how many times I have seen this fight. PEAK! One of the animators in this episode was Arifumi Imai, the same who animated a lot of AOT scenes like Levi vs Beast titan or Levi vs Kenny squad.

Cation

LOVE DEKU FOR THAT!

KTok

Not sure if anyone else pointed this out but love how you know Bakugo really respected Uraraka because he calls her by her real name which I think is the first time he’s used someone’s real name in the show and not just a nickname he gave them. And he definitely hurt himself with that giant blast it was a lot closer than it looked to the crowd. Really enjoying the reactions!

zaphyre

Honestly My Hero is so good at making all the important fights feel like they carry so much emotional weight, that plus the crazy animation and soundtracks makes for some truly unforgettable episodes like this one. Deku vs Todoroki is only the first of many episodes like this, and seeing how much you guys are already appreciating the music, I can’t wait for you to hear some of the soundtracks in future seasons! P.S. can you imagine that some people wanted to prevent the Geks from experiencing this peak fight by saying they wouldn’t like this? I’m glad they’ve been proven wrong once again 🙂

kuza

that final clash really reminds me of when naruto did a tailed beast bomb and orochimaru put up those gates

Marlon

Endeavor the goat

zoldaic

Yutaka Nakamura the GOAT

Andy tee

I love this show for how they explore the concept of "just because you're a good hero, doesn't mean you're a good man". Endeavour takes that to the extreme.

kuza

todoroki and all might carrying the show for me they are goats

kuza

i remember dropping mha ages ago and the deku v todoroki clash is one of the last things i remember from the show 😭😭 will be fully watching along with gek soon enough

Zipzzty

Endeavor the best written character in the show

Donduh343

MCU has been a big let down for a while. Invincible, The Boys, and MHA are like the only good super hero story's to me as of late?

Zipzzty

TODOROKI THE GOAT

Nami Swannn

Also just a quick note about smth that got lost in translation; In public, Endeavour addresses Shouto with the kanji 仔, as well as アレ/あれ, both of which are used to refer to baby animals or objects, not humans. There’s even a scene where AM is disturbed by his way of speech (it’s just hard to pickup on it since there’s no way of translating it). All this is just to further emphasize how he considers Shouto to be tool without his own agency

yio

I just woke up and I don't think I've ever been happier to see a notification in my life

Lorenzo Myazoe

I seriously dont remember this fight being THAT insane, I forgot that crazy Todoroki impact frame was from this fight

Nami Swannn

This fight is what got me to watch the show. I remember seeing it everywhere when it aired and I just had to tune in. Phenomenal tournament arc 🙂‍↕️🔥🙌🏼

freecostco

i dont hate uraraka whatsoever personally but i think i get why people dislike her. it has nothing to do with the going-ons of this season though. i love how talkative mckay's been and i'm not sure if its because he's seen the show or if its because he's gotta carry a little more now that brig's gone but it makes me glad to see him actually present with the group lmao. also i was nervous about you guys starting this show but if all else failed i knew you'd like this fight. todoroki may have one of the best written storylines in all of shounen.

Dio

This has to got to be rage bait right

Kite

the author deserves jail time for ruining what this show could've been 😔

Dani G

My favorite class 1-A character is so underrated because like..yeah, I love Todoroki, Deku, and Bakugo. They’re all in my top five out of the kids. BUT my GOAT out of the students is Ida. He is just so pure and dependable and everything that a hero is and should be! Of course, my top two of the whole series though are #1 and #2 on the heroes board. The adults are really what make this series for me.

Dani G

I’m just gonna say this now — Endeavour is not likeable. He’s barely redeemable. But he’s arguably the best written character in the whole series. I can’t say I stan him because he really is not a good person, but maaaan, he is my favorite character after All-Might. He is so complex.

Dani G

I was actually so happy Todoroki won. After all that inner strength and facing his trauma in that moment, he earned his victory. Man, I love the whole Todoroki family.

Dani G

I agree so much. I love him, though I shouldn’t. He’s the antithesis of All-Might. They’re both SUCH good characters.

LooseSeal

Hope you guys do a video comparing these peak moments in the dub. They are just too good not to

h.

todoroki is my absolute fav he is goated

Dani G

I love Endeavour as a character because he is an example of how not all heroes are good people. He’s an excellent hero, as we’ve seen, but a terrible person and father.

Marcos Vera

ENDEAVOR CHARACTER IS PEAK OF THE PEAKS FOR REAL

Kasumii_

I'm sad y'all didn't catch the line at 8:43, Bakugo never calls anybody by their name, he always gives them a nickname, Midoriya is Deku, Uraraka was Round Face but then Bakugo called her "Uraraka" acknowledging her as a worthy opponent.

Dani G

THAT scene with Todoroki was the moment I fell in love with the show. The first time it gave me chills and drew me right into this world.

Jamin

its probably all of those dang dekuxbakugo shippers smh

Dani G

Cannon’s protectiveness over these characters is so endearing.

Jackson Carter

Whaaaaa…?

~Mercedeez Lee~

Cannon so based on his jab towards Mineta. Another thing, I’m not that in touch with the fandom & that’s probably why I didn’t know so many fans disliked Uraraka till recently. It’s very weird to hate on her, I mean out of all the characters too ?

Jackson Carter

I haven’t seen this oh my gosh

Ron Jackson Jr

👀

Gestrid

I think there's a figure of that frame where Deku takes his stance as he and Todoroki are about to make their final moves.

Ron Jackson Jr

Ye she kept being tossed around a lot 😈

Ana

Yeah in the dub deku says It’s your quirk not his. even with ochaco and her dad’s conversation was so much better in dub and heartfelt. The dub definitely has the better dialogue for sure I hope they watch the dub in their own time atleast. I also think they’re watching on crunchy roll and crunchy roll has the worst subs

Michael H

I don’t think Ochaco collapses because she was nauseous. I think she collapsed because she got ragdolled by Bakugo for like ten minutes straight lol

TheBookerDeWitt

We are COOKING 🙏🙌

E T

Endeavor lookin like the crazy AAU dad

Stairguy

The moment in Dub is actually better but this is still awesome obviously. In the dub Deku says, “It’s Your power.” It’s more impactful when you don’t ask “isn’t it?” There’s been several changes in the sub I’ve noticed from before. I was hoping this was changed but it’s all good, still a PEAK episode. One of my favorite things about this show is Allmight and Deku are true heros. In whatever situation they’re in they Always try to save people even at the cost of themselves. As seen here by how Deku “saves” Shoto.

Nicholas Porter

Jack at 28:46 then the side eye makes me question if he’s actually seen this before or not

lololol

the geks could still change their opinions on goatdeavor after 2 seasons🤣🤣 but if they dont thats 100% understandable

Pepperoni Pony .

Yutaka Nakamura, a legendary key animator handled this choice bit of sakuga in the Deku/Todoroki fight. He's worked on everything from Neon Genesis Evangelion, Cowboy Bebop and Fullmetal Alchemist to more modern hits like Mob Psycho 100, My Hero and Frieren. He's known for his very clean work, lots of contrasts in camera speed, size, colors and also his use of geometric shapes.

I never realised that people don’t like Uraraka? She’s goated, I’m glad the boys like her.

Ron Jackson Jr

🤣

Ana

Both of these episodes are peak. Both fights showed the true character of each of them perfectly. I love Todoroki he ranks 3rd on my list of top 5. I love Endeavor idc idc 😭they can never make me hate you. 😭. Can’t wait for the next 2 episodes their sooooo spicy

jay

exactlyyyyy

28:44 Yo Jack uhh, what was that?😭 That side eye tooo? SOMETHING IS UP LMAO

m1gz

I WANT TO BE A HERO TOO!!

gabi felix

Todoroki's family is simply one of the most tragic ever invented. I will never understand people who like Endeavor.

Gestrid

And that was the first time ever that Bakugo called Uraraka by her actual name. He acknowledged her strength. It's a little detail that not a lot of people notice, but I love it!

Joydan Bri’an

question for you guys in the comments cause i’m curious. what’s your favorite season of mha? mine would probably be 3 and 4

Vincent S Deluca

No lol

Vincent S Deluca

Yeah if it’s got “- Origin” in the title you know they’re about to cook

Lydia

"Mineta almost died, I wish he had" Cannon 😭😭😭

Vincent S Deluca

Yeah but Bakugo also takes damage himself from his explosions, Todoroki doesn’t. It’s not just a straight upgrade or anything, it has its own set of drawbacks

Joydan Bri’an

imo the todorokis have the best writing in the show hands down 🙂‍↕️

keyton bush

Oh yeah y’all gotta watch the movies btw. They’re at least semi-canon (whether or not you take the entire plot of the movie to happen in the same world) because some events/characters tie in. Also they’re goated, if nothing else for the animation. Character moments don’t go quite as hard though bc movies have less stakes than the show.

Lydia

The moment you see todoroki’s steam forming and then comes the firey explosion 🔥 awww man that entire ep is a masterpiece. Everytime I watch it it’s still so so so good.

Qhoa

keyton bush

Ah the dub line. Hits hard in both tbh.

Trandon

Bro I forgot how hard Bones cooked with this fight. It gave me chills

m1gz

who ever was hating on Uraraka are bums she's great

m1gz

bro shhhhhhhhhhh spoilers

GrimmHxH

one of the best moments in the show, so peak

a_daichi

To think there’s even more insane peak moments to come 🔥🔥

jessiefungirl

All Might being the hero everyone wants but can't have, Endeavor being a rat but in perfectly good health 🙃

Rio Pascua

Just remember. Todoroki needs both ice and fire to create that blast/explosion. Bakugo doesn't need that, he just explodes. Fire will make him sweat more so Todoroki only has ice against him. But even that is blockable to Bakugo.

jessiefungirl

hearing there's ochaco slander, love for mineta and endeavor. i think im noticing a trend here...

keyton bush

To the point, this episode leans into Deku’s heroism, and Todoroki’s tragedy. Deku is the epitome of a hero because he sacrifices his own victory to save a classmate. He understands that *being* a hero is more important than being *perceived* as one. He wanted to show up and say “I am here” for both his and All-might’s sake, but he understood that his friend was suffering and needed help. So he sacrificed his goal and chose to be a real hero.

Saki 🏴‍☠️✨

Yesss, the way he goes from calling her 'round face' in the beginning to her name at the end as he gains respect for her is so good

GooberM

1. Uraraka didn't lose because she got sick/ nauseous, just gassed and 2. Those things on her fingers are what activates her quirk

keyton bush

My Hero is a fun show in part because everyone wants to deconstruct heros. Think the boys, watchmen, invincible to some extent with Nolan, etc. My hero is different. It leans in to the hero genre, it is unabashedly pro-heros, pro-chivalry, etc. It’s not afraid to be sentimental or to emphasize basic moral tenets, etc, and that actually makes it refreshing.

Nick K

The best part is the pacing is going this fast, but there's also a ton of episodes left so you know there's a whole lot more to come and development to be seen for characters

Ron Jackson Jr

Respect

jessiefungirl

horikoshi channeled his inner todoroki and activated his fire quirk when writing these chapters

jrnoodles

Thanks! Deku vs Todoroki is one of my favourite fight from the anime.

Ron Jackson Jr

Same

jessiefungirl

the animation is so juicy i cant stop replaying help 😩

Ron Jackson Jr

I got chills

Nash

Shiggy watching the fight from TV is so funny to me☠️☠️☠️

jessiefungirl

IT'S YOUR QUIRK NOT HIS

GRAHHHHHH PEAAKKKKKKKK one of my fav episodes of all time, one of the first ever scenes to get me into the rabbit hole

"Jack stop questioning everything" Our goat Brig might not be around anymore to say it but at least we got Carter to cut the yapping lmao

Trevor

Peak incoming

Saki 🏴‍☠️✨

fight was even better than i remembered, love shouto sm and the mutual respect between both him and midoriya (and bakugo and ochako in the earlier episode) is so good 🫶🏻 had to rewind the final fight scenes like x20 lmao

Guy

I'll be the first to eat my own words on that and say its bc i forgot how goated the show itself is

Lydia

when Bakugo finally said Ochaco's name during the fight, he was acknowledging her 🥹

T Ade

I’ve been waiting for thisss 🥹

T Ade

Youre insaneee 😭😭

~Mercedeez Lee~

The Todoroki drama is honestly some of the best writing in this series, I can’t wait till you guys get to seasons 6 & 7 but yeah these two episodes cooked

Ali

Aokiji would use Todoroki as an ice cube.

86 LilaS

That final move Todoroki used is basically the exaggeration of when we dispense ice and put a drink in it causing the ice to crack

maria

LETSGOOOO

José Salguero

The peak of the show IMO

Elle B.

The author—Kohei Horikoshi—has mentioned he was raised by a single mother. (I don’t believe he’s ever said anything about his dad) So you will see that influence reflected a lot in this series. There are going to be great moms and also moms who fail their kids, a lot of male characters that look exactly like their moms or inherited their mom’s powers, etc.

Wickerx Nanana

WHOS STRONGER??? TODOROKI OR KUZAN??? LETS HEAR EVERYONES OPINION YES LETS START A WAR

Nash

That whole Todoroki family needs therapy

86 LilaS

Finally! I’m always so proud of my baby Shoto! He’s seen the worse side of heroes and yet he still wants to be one for all the right reasons. This episode always makes me cry! I was holding my cat, Shoto, and crying into his fur! Also, Shoto’s character design is half his mom and dad, making his identity crisis more visible. His right side is his ice side with white hair and gray eye from his mom while his left is his fire side with red hair and blue eye from his dad. When Shoto’s mom saw him peaking in on her phone conversation the side that she saw was his left side. She grabbed the kettle thinking it was Endeavor. It never said in the anime, but the scar isn’t from a burn. His mom iced it after realizing what she did and basically gave him frostbite. When treating a burn you NEVER use cold only cool water to gradually bring the temp down to prevent scarring.

Cannon Andrus

No he’s literally the goat

Cannon Andrus

ABSOLUTE PEAK. MHA IS FIREE

Shiv Bhakta

PEAk

Ana

Yes we need him in the comments with us 😭😭

cozo

everybody has to drop a comment on this peak

Ana

Yep and he’s also said Kirishima’s name too a few episodes back in the Calvary he called the others insults but only kirashima’s name because he also respects him too

Elle B.

My sweet Izuku 😭 Being a true hero and helping Todoroki. I also loved him jabbing back at Endeavor in the hallway. He may be shy or scared in some moments, but he will always be brave for his friends.

T

The todoroki family drama is the best part of mha. There’s so many insane fights coming but season 3 probably has the best one lol I cant wait!

Marlon Douglas

Mineta x Mahoraga is gonna break the internet!

yani

"Mineta almost died... I wish he did" MOOD LMAO. Glad to see the absolutely appropriate amount of hype for the end of ep 10!!!!

YANXI

IN SHAMBLES! Some of them are even switching up and calling it peak now 😂

Leely

my goat Bakugo 🔥

jessiefungirl

Ochaco got you on speed dial Cannon? (14:23)

YANXI

Fr. He has such a kind heart but he does what needs to be done at the same time. Deku is just so goated

jblakk

My favorite part is that Deku is proving to be a hero more than his peers with his empathy. Its really done well here. I dont like some future approaches, but this is a real good example of Deku as a hero at his best.

Nat_off

That fight is sooo peak, the ost always gave me chills and it’s only season 2, so excited to watch your reactions to more peak episodes

YANXI

Don't think I forgot about you saying MHA was mid. Look at you now smh. Even the haters be fans

Nash

Fun fact:- MHA author actually cried tears of joy watching this episode

Marlon Douglas

The people complaining about my hero academia in the poll are in shambles right now watching the Geks going crazy!!!!

Bakugo, my goat!!!. I remember hearing yall say Bakugo wasn’t as analytical as other characters, only for these episodes to show you otherwise. Enjoy the ride guys, it’s only up from here!! I’m lowkey impatient for next season because if I were to rank all of MHA’s seasons, then season 3 would be in my top 5. Also, Todoroki vs Izuku was definitely the first fight that truly hooked me into the anime.

Cat

Deku's number one priority is always saving people who don't even realize they need it. It's why he's our goat

Griff

Yuppppppp!!!!!!!

Mitch

Truly mind boggling to me that people thought yall would dislike this show 😭😭😭😭

goblin.bones

just in case it wasn't super noticeable - at the end of their fight, before she collapses, Bakugou uses Uraraka's actual name instead of a nickname, like he does for most folks and situations. This is in part a show of him acknowledging her strength, which is pretty big at this point in the story, where he doesnt pay attention to much of anything but himself :)

snoobcat

PEAK CINEMA

JD Galbraith

Who doesn’t like tournament arcs in anime? Lol

Guy

My favorite theory about Bakugo is that nitroglycerin in your system causes your blood pressure to tank. So in order to stay alive/conscious homie has to be constantly angry all the time to keep his blood pressure up

Conk

Jack needs to stop meta gaming 😡

Nasty

Todo the goat 🔥🔥🔥

Steve

Horikoshi is the name of the author. Don't ever forget that these come from the mind and the pen of the author. And mangakas use the inspiration of all previous mangakas in order to create something of this magnitude. And only a few succeed at the highest level. Horikoshi is one of the elites! Great reaction!

Aozora

Just a friendly reminder that this is only season 2. You've yet to reach peak cinema!

Elle

"Mineta almost died. I wish he did" idk why that made me laugh

Pats

Keen for you guys to see endeavours journey through the show to 👏🏼

Mike Donohue

Please tell me you got Brig watching MHA too

a_daichi

I personally never saw any comments from first watching mha or anywhere else of people not liking uraraka! love her

rue

the way it flipped from the crowd bullying bakugo to aizawa bullying the crowd he does NOT play about his students!

Lauryn

I can’t wait until yall get to season threeeeeee it remains my fav season!! :) but honestly super glad yall are enjoying it so far!!

YANXI

And this is only season 2. It's so much more peak to witness PLUS ULTRAA

Jesse Herrera

Really glad yall are doing MHA. I hope there are plans for OVA reacts. Def worth it

Gorira Kujira

So I assume it's Monday, Wednesday, and Saturday?

💀

jessiefungirl

the "first" days are over my friend 😔

Jude

I love the amount of respect Bakugo gave Uraraka. Even though the crowd thought he was tormenting her he was taking her seriously the whole time and she's one of the few people Bakugo actually calls by name rather than just a nickname.

Jasmin☆

so crazyyy

Sam Davis

Fuhk it I'm watching

LeBron Glazer (Bronsexual)

Kuzan and Todoroki in the same week is crazy
