There's a couple of those in Avatar particularly Iroh and Zuko stuff so if you like seeing him crying there you go 😂

2024-11-25 14:50:00 +0000 UTCDamn Alex I think this is the first time I've seen you cry watching anything (although I haven't gone through your whole catalog yet) but yeah don't think I didn't miss that you're not slick.

2024-06-28 22:50:34 +0000 UTCI know other people mentioned some things before, but I'd like to expand on more of the parallels between this and the Bakugou Retrieval Arc: • The Location - This is Kamino Ward, the exact same place where Bakugou is rescued. Most people in fandom call it "ground zero" because it where the Symbol of Peace saved the world for the last time in the event that marked beginning of the end for hero society. It's also the place where All Might's statue stands, vandalized and rejected by the society he protected for years. Making this location the backdrop in Class A's plan to make Deku realize that he shouldn't bear everything alone like All Might did before him is like basically the last nail in the coffin for the Symbol of Peace system. All of Class A is letting Deku know that it should finally be laid to rest in the place where it last worked. • The Plan - Each person that was present in Kamino plays an important role here. Beginning with the way that Bakugou took charge of the conversation with Endeavor up to the way he seemed to instruct the class, it's implied that Bakugou is leading them on the field. You can also infer that Yayurozu's is involved with actually making the plan through the words she says to Deku. Every single step that Class A takes from there guides Deku to Todoroki because at it's base, it's the exact same plan that Deku came up with in Kamino: make an ice ramp to launch a group into the air so that the most suitable friend reaches out for Deku's hand. However, there is one key difference, even if it's sort of similar: Iida has to force his hand in front of Deku so that he takes it as opposed to Kirishima calling out for Bakugou who then willingly takes the hand he offers. • The Most Suitable Friend - Like you mentioned, it just felt right that it was Iida who reaches out to Deku because it had to be him, it couldn't be anyone else. Iida is the first amongst the class to respect Deku for his heroism while simultanously being his first true friend. This parallels Kirishima's relationship to Bakugou where the reverse is true since Kirishima is the first person that Bakugou respects and therefore becomes the first friend he has truly accepted.

2024-02-08 21:36:19 +0000 UTCIn truth, I did feel bad for her, because everyone else got to say something, but her and Deku actually didn't have any meaningful interactions and her power was kinda useless in this instance. But I was more shocked that Aoyama didn't get a moment, because he's actually one of Deku's closer friends. Random 13 face reveal! I had the same double take reaction, I wasn't even sure if we'd ever learned her gender before? And the civilians continue to suck. Being a hero is clearly not for me, if it were me, I'd just let them rot, ungrateful bastards. This is the emotional highlight of MHA for me, I highly doubt anything that comes after will be able to top Deku vs 1A. That said, Uraraka's true moment comes next episode, but that still belongs to this little arc in my opinion.

2023-03-30 03:06:15 +0000 UTCMinus Yaoyorozu, it came down to the same key people involved in Bakugo's rescue. Todoroki building an ice ramp in both cases, and Deku/Bakugo letting a closer friend of the other do the actual reaching out.
Vae
2023-03-29 06:44:13 +0000 UTCThanks! I usually watch it on the app on my phone, I'll try something like that.

2023-03-29 05:18:10 +0000 UTCHmm.... it worked for me just now on a different computer than the one I watched on yesterday. Not sure what it could be.
Ryan
2023-03-28 19:35:38 +0000 UTCIs it just me or does this video format doesn't load that well? A lot of times it freezes every 30 seconds andI don’t think it’s my internet connection...
Ana
2023-03-28 16:01:10 +0000 UTCWhen the episodes first come out on the weekend there’s a official vote on who is the MVP of that episode. For example Bakugo won for 6x9, Dabi for 6x11, Deku won for 6x18 and 19 etc. Can’t remember how far this goes back but they have done this for many seasons of MHA. But for THIS episode Class A won. It was the first time that a group of people won the vote and not just an individual. And I think that’s soo fitting and beautiful!

2023-03-28 12:24:44 +0000 UTCPersonally I've come to love your slight contempt for Invisible Girl. It's like you can see right through her.
Jo
2023-03-28 01:47:31 +0000 UTC"Deku you saw me when no one else would" I hate that they cut that emotional invisible girl scene, had me crying more than Bakugou's apology or Iida's moment
Emma Root
2023-03-27 23:16:51 +0000 UTCI hope people who get to grow up with this series learn that they can indeed forgive themselves and others from this.
Ryan
2023-03-27 22:13:27 +0000 UTCI feel like people project so much of their own bully trauma on Bakugo. Like come on he was a middle schooler kids say edgy shit they don't mean all the time. Redemption bar shouldn't be that high.
Sage
2023-03-27 22:11:19 +0000 UTCExactly. It sounds cold to say it this way, but the options really are risk dying together, or risk dying alone. There is no such option of "no one gets hurt." That's terrible and grim, but knowing what choices they do have, I think they make the right one.
Ryan
2023-03-27 22:05:14 +0000 UTCI started crying from the very start xD hearing Koda say more words than i think he ever has, and he sounds so desperate to reach Deku
UndeadDesk
2023-03-27 21:52:59 +0000 UTCI personally love Iida's and Bakugo's speech. Iida makes me tear up when he starts crying, and just everything Bakugo said, even calling him Izuku by name for once.
Revin MacGrath
2023-03-27 21:41:06 +0000 UTCSeems very possible. Personally I think that they know what they're getting into, at least to a sufficient extent to make that decision for themselves to risk their lives (they can't really fully know abstractly what's coming). But another way to look at it is that there's no guarantee they're safe if Deku doesn't come back to UA. Yes, they're not targeted, but if Deku falls and AFO gets his powers, they probably end up dying fighting a futile battle later anyway
Alex G
2023-03-27 21:11:51 +0000 UTCI don't have a solid answer yet but thinking about Uraraka just now, I remembered that her first stated motivation for being a hero was to help her parents financially. I bet that's been updated quite a bit
Alex G
2023-03-27 21:09:30 +0000 UTCThis episode has me very conflicted. Can Deku beat all for one alone? maybe. Will he win with the help of others, yes. But how many are gonna die doing this. I have no knowledge of the manga and have luckily not heard anything related to anything spoilery but i just know that someone or multiple people are gonna die, including people from Class A most likely. Deku needs their help but i fear they are going to have to die giving it to him.
UndeadDesk
2023-03-27 20:50:42 +0000 UTCI forgot to mention this last episode on Patreon, but in the recap at the beginning, the original Japanese is Bakugo's best pun of the series, so now you all must suffer through it. "All-Might wannabe" in Japanese is "All-Might Kidoriya." K-idoriya. Get it? Eh? I'll see myself out. I really liked the Iida impression at the beginning. :) Very curious what you think Uraraka will say next episode. She's clearly going to say something--the episode title alone says that much--so, what do you say to either Deku or the crowd to get him to stay at UA? They've brought him here, but like Yaoyorozu said, that's just the first hurdle.
Ryan
2023-03-27 20:46:49 +0000 UTCMore cute then hot I’d say, but such a distinctive hair color, NTM her eyes.
Matthew Richson
2023-03-27 20:11:37 +0000 UTClmao i was a bit of a mess during this episode and i admit that i had tears in my eyes but i still stopped and went, "Oh wait, shes hot"
UndeadDesk
2023-03-27 19:58:15 +0000 UTCThirteen’s kinda hot
Chris Sharpe
2023-03-27 19:54:51 +0000 UTCThe dub is amazing, plus the music during Bakugo apologizing is so riveting.
Chris Sharpe
2023-03-27 19:54:41 +0000 UTCWhat I find worse are the people who got mad that Bakugo apologized at all. Imagine self-inserting as old Bakugo.
Biostar
2023-03-27 19:45:13 +0000 UTC*SPOILERS* Gonna take a guess and say they’re probably talking about that group shot of the kids after Deku passes out and how it has certain two of them separated from the rest.
Biostar
2023-03-27 19:42:33 +0000 UTCMan, this is my first time seeing the dub episode for this episode and they really did it justice. Sometimes the sub will follow dialogue through the manga and the dub changes things to make it sound more natural but they absolutely crushed it this episode. I literally was crying harder than when I originally watched the sub. Iida saying the meddling when you don't belong line absolutely crushed me. Such an amazing callback and the biggest character growth moment for my favorite character Bakugou. Such a great episode.
Skyler Anderson
2023-03-27 19:39:10 +0000 UTCYeah I enjoyed this arc but give me "old" Deku any day,plus the growth of course, especially if this is the way he gets brought back. The one-shotting thing is odd cause he's clearly not fighting them, just trying to escape, plus is at 1 HP
Alex G
2023-03-27 19:13:05 +0000 UTCSome of my favorite stuff from the series, feels like the culmination of EVERYTHING. A little frustrating how controversial these chapters were in the manga because "oh Deku is so cool now, don't make him lame again so soon after making him cool." "Class A shouldn't have stood a chance, why didn't Deku just one-shot everyone in half a second." etc. Like, I think at that point, you're reading the wrong series.
Miguel
2023-03-27 19:10:01 +0000 UTCI got so many feels from this episode. Also, one thing I haven't seen many point out, is that the last efforts to catch Deku with the ice ramp and flying is literally the same plan Deku came up with to rescue Bakugo when he was captured by Shigaraki. Obviously with improvements because the whole class is there. But Deku said it had to be Kirishima to reach out for Bakugo, and in this scenario Bakugo let Iida be the final one to grab Deku's hand. So more reminiscing!

2023-03-27 19:02:13 +0000 UTCI’ve read the manga and I have no idea what you guys are talking about. Can someone explain this to me? (With a spoiler warning for anime only viewers of course).
Jabez Katsak
2023-03-27 18:53:58 +0000 UTCShe/her, the localization of the School Brief light novel’s did accidentally refer to her as a guy.
Matthew Richson
2023-03-27 18:49:00 +0000 UTCI was fully expecting this to be a great episode for her
Alex G
2023-03-27 18:48:13 +0000 UTCAnd no we've never seen Thirteen before! I love her (their? she's used masculine language) pretty starlight eyes.
Muchymozzarella
2023-03-27 18:46:32 +0000 UTCAnd Goodwin yes, this was the first time we saw Thirteen’s face in full.
Matthew Richson
2023-03-27 18:45:10 +0000 UTCThe moment I finished watching this episode I was pumped to see your reaction to it! It's so interesting to me that Izuku's compassion and desire to protect basically drove him to a form of madness when mixed with the trauma of the war. Plus the "Now it's Your Turn" reference from All for One seemingly put the fear of god in Deku. Personally, I have a difficult time choosing between Froppy, Ingenium, or Great Explosion Murder God Dynamite on who was the most touching "speech", but I think Bakugo comes out on top in the end. Such an emotional episode!
John Vaughan
2023-03-27 18:45:04 +0000 UTCI don't even remember if it was in the manga or if it's just the anime, but either way, it's super cool! I thought they'd hint at the HUGE reveal this season, but it also makes sense to wait until next season.
Muchymozzarella
2023-03-27 18:45:01 +0000 UTCYes, it was very cleverly subtle. Nicely done by Horikoshi.
Matthew Richson
2023-03-27 18:42:38 +0000 UTCThere's a huge bit of foreshadowing in this episode for a big future reveal, but I can neither say what scene nor who's in the scene :) But for those who know, isn't it funny how they did that?
Muchymozzarella
2023-03-27 18:38:55 +0000 UTCThe invisible girl shade never gets old.
matthew bremmer
2023-03-27 18:37:02 +0000 UTCWhat I love most about My Hero is that EVERYTHING comes full circle. Everything. Even what seem to be the smallest things. I also teared up when Iida grabbed Midoriya's hand. I don't think they did it in the dub, but in the sub they mention how Ingenium always reaches out to take the hand of a lost child - which I think hits hard, because that's exactly what Deku is.
Muchymozzarella
2023-03-27 18:36:34 +0000 UTC@Goodwin, you just get it. That’s what we love about you! 😁
Matthew Richson
2023-03-27 18:27:24 +0000 UTCEveryone in 1A has a relationship with Deku but there are a handful of people that seem to be the real core group of his friends, Ida just seemed like one of the closest to him and also someone who has benefited the most from Deku's influence :)
Alex G
2023-03-27 18:26:34 +0000 UTCBakugo calling him by his real name, bowing, apologizing, and saying he moved without thinking... all a huge tribute to Deku and to me proof beyond a shadow of a doubt of how he feels and of course massive character growth. Yeah it's a long time coming, but the important thing is that it happened. It's not even that Deku will forgive him, Deku never held it against him in the first place because he looks up to Bakugo just as much.
Alex G
2023-03-27 18:25:34 +0000 UTCThe way you IMMEDIATELY knew it was Iida who'd be key :P The foresight Quirk you have working in overdrive
Muchymozzarella
2023-03-27 18:21:40 +0000 UTCBakugo’s big developmental moment right here. And to think, there are still people who saw that and said “not good enough” or “too little too late”. Personally I think some people projected too much/let their pet peeves get out of control. And to say nothing of how triumphant the whole sequence to catch up to Deku was from Iida.
