MHA 8x4

While All Might didnt give Bakogo his power, he kinda did. The suit is the only thing he had that gave him the power to fight. Giving it to Bakogo is symbolically showing the same faith and trust in him to carry on the fight as giving Deku powers did.

One thing about One for All I think is he grew up on the streets. It seems like his mother was down on her luck and ended up giving birth on the streets. She also had a quirk before the glowing baby existed so most likely that contributed to her situation and isolation. A glowing baby is much better PR than a s worker for any movement for equal rights. But yea All for one grew up on the streets with no parents and no idea just trying to survive. By the time a personality forms hes going be comoletely messed up morally with the amount of power he has. I think if the mother was able to be in a hospital during her pregnancy when issues arose not only is it possible she survive due to yhe extra care but even if she doenst the children are better look after not facing the lack of nutrients ajd has people to raise them and teach them better. All for one could still turn out a villain but I cant blame a baby for trying to survive.

Bakugo is the perfect choice because if any member of class 1A will off a baby its him.

Suplee215

It's crazy that the only person who has earned as much hatred from AFO than the man who dismantled his empire and destroyed half his face... is his little brother's two month situationship.

Ferret

"A single quirk, is all I need to BEAT YOU!!!!" that's gotta be the biggest slap in the face ever to a guy who had the power of the world in the palm of his hand.

Zaelda

That "GET REKT" sounded like it hurt.

HBelmont 24

Ryan Negron did a PHENOMENAL job voicing young AFO, but I'm also grateful that we got the return of John Swasey during the flashbacks.

HBelmont 24

She aged well because of her glycerine quirk which is a natural moisturizer. Keeps her looking pickled.

Isaac

I just want to point out how well Bakugo's mom Mitsuki has aged; she looks the exact same 16 years later as she did when she first gave birth to her son.

HBelmont 24

Honestly kinda reminds me of gentle criminal he wanted everyone to remember his name and know who he is/ was and all for one just took it to an extreme and with gentle all for one didn't have a deku, what if you think about it, dekus been changing everyone prospective for good and all for one never got to but he never looked for it either he was selfish for selfishness

Babybear47

I hate/love how all for one calls bakugo an extra when bakugos been saying that the whole series and ends up saying to all for one to shut the H*** up and to get wrecked lol like just crazy and definitely didn't effect bakugo because he knows how it is when someone belittles someone the growth all for one didn't have.

Babybear47

18:40 you can see hawks face on the disformed all for one showing all the quirks. If y'all didn't notice but ya

Babybear47

I think all for one was taking as much nourishment to be healthy looking more than the younger brother because he wanted it all for himself hints why the younger brother was weak. So it looked like he was eating his mother but he got so much milk in this case that it made her bleed and die

Babybear47

All For One rewinding into a pissy teenager for a final fight against Bakugo is just such brilliant, full circle storytelling. I finally feel like this series is getting the praise it deserves, but honestly it still deserves even more.

Carmen Nevant

Id say more hydrogen baby vs coughing bomb 😭

Himiko Toga

so interesting about AFO considering people generally have personalities that align with their quirk. his quirk is selfishness. his first actions were selfish. his whole life was driven by selfishness.

ItzYourBoi

AFO getting so pissed at Bakugo simply for looking like someone from his past reminds me of Muzan's reaction upon seeing Tanjiro.

HBelmont 24

Them giving Bakugo the United States of Smash impact frames was an absolutely perfect way to watch to end All for One. This was my favorite part of the endgame parts of the manga 🙌🏾

Charles Arias

There's actually no way that Bakugo isn't a reincarnation of Kudo, at the time stamp in your reaction 10:02, Kudo literally just looks like a ginger clone of Bakugo.

Eiríkur Eiríksson

LITERAL coughing baby vs hydrogen bomb 🤣

HBelmont 24

I think if yoichiis original quirk grew it would be some sort of energy transfer. Like yoichii can give his energy to another person to make them stronger or heal them maybe

Erin Ryan

I would love to see a prequel to MHA when meta powers first arrivied. I think it would have to be a lot darker and it doesn't need to follow all for one, just showing normal humans reactions to this sudden change and the war that started.

Erin Ryan

also I think that all for one killing his brother was how the power was passed on. The blood splatter landed on his mouth and maybe he ended up swallowing some of the blood

JoeMyGodGaming

i'd definitely look up the manga for All for One's Final Move the drawing is insane. and maybe look up the other one for all users deaths for more detail. it def worth it

JoeMyGodGaming

Bakugo's growth is insane. From "I'll do everything by my own, to rememebering all the times he recieved help and wasn't left alone, acknowledging that, no. He would never have made it here on his own. he _needs_ other people to stand beside him. That is what makes him strong enough to beat the worst villain in history.

Saiyasha

It really isn't that hard to understand. The glowing baby was the first "well known" and "documented" and it was just that he had a glowing quirk. People saw that and he was one of the first quirks and it amassed a following as if it were a God because before people knew all about quirks seeing a glowing baby is gonna make people think its some kind of special being or a God in some way. All for one said that a country like India had quirks appearing right before the glowing baby but they just weren't as well known and so widespread so quickly. All for one hated that the glowing baby was able to gain such a following so quickly and people thought it was special so he killed it and took the quirk for himself.

Sickness

Love y'alls passion for the show! This has been so fun, looking forward to the next episodes!

Cosmic Youth

Also, AFO wasn’t eating his mother, he dragged himself to breastfeed from her but if you look closely, he’s using her quirk (the spikes) from his mouth to latch on. It’s showing that he really did have to TAKE to survive because nothing was given to him.

Kaiser

I can't wait to ask questions for the next episodes, especially with how excited Kenny is to get back to the Deku/Shigiraki fight.

HBelmont 24

Interesting but the lady stopping to reach out to AFO’s mother is an anime-only scene, so not sure how woven that is into his character’s writing. In the manga she was a sex worker who didn’t even know she was pregnant. I gathered that AFO’s character is a result of him having to take from birth because nobody gave him anything. He literally had to drag himself to breastfeed from his dead mother, nothing was given to him, he had no choice but to take to survive.

Kaiser

I mean, didn't the anime cut out a scene of Yoichi conversing with Kudo and Bruce? It jumped from them breaking into his cell to them running through the sewer.

HBelmont 24

Forreal. This backstory really makes you think about him differently; he's SUCH a fascinating character.

HBelmont 24

About the All Might/AFO flashback: I thought the anime was gonna do more with showing their first fight. In the manga, all the other users of OFA got their own panels, depicting what was shown onscreen. All Might, on the other hand, got an ENTIRE PAGE. I thought that scene would've been at least a bit longer and have audio, but it was framed like all the rest, unlike how it was shown in the manga. Still a cool scene. 🫟🤛🏼

HBelmont 24

thanks for the heads up, will fix!

Letts React

AFO was evil since the womb he needed to go

Erin Ryan

Bakugo being the one to finally defeat AFO is everything to me 😭

Kiribukai

Looks like you used the wrong title card at the start, just a heads up!

Sprig Plantar

Jeez 😰

HBelmont 24

How humble 🙄😅

HBelmont 24

So All for One got the way he did because he was raised exclusively by his quirk giving him the urge to take for himself, and the comics he read which gave him a person to relate to, which was the villain. Honestly, that makes total sense but it’s all weirdly sad. Oh yeah also Bakugo is awesome.

It's fine, I'll be the first to say it, Kudo, the second user is fine asf 🤤

Kacchan BakuGOAT

Tyler Owens

Just two things to add: the anime added in AFO naming Yoichi as an adult. In the manga it never specifies when he gave him the name. And second, the anime doesn’t say it for some reason but Yoichi was with Kudo for 2 months before AFO tracked him down & killed him. The anime makes it seem like it happened right after Yoichi was rescued & Kudo was crying over a dude he just met 😅

Kaiser

One of the best episodes in the whole series, easily Clifford Chapins best vocal performance of all time

Renn.88

Sometimes, when down right, a simple villain can be JUST as effective as a complex one.

HBelmont 24

It’s ironic that the core results of AFO personality and quirk. His absence of being “seen”. Stems from his mother decided not to accept the hand that reach out to her. AFO twisted persona from not being noticed in his formative years. Comes from that.

Jalen James

I mean, she's not . . . wrong. Also, YOU do not get to criticise lol. 🤣

HBelmont 24

Man, voice-acting is hard-CORE.

HBelmont 24

Good god. If he did that afo's va must have literally exploded 😭

Himiko Toga

Clifford Chapin the VA for Bakugo tweeted that he almost fainted five times, and he pulled a muscle in his eye during his performance in this episode.

Arthur

You asked a really good question!

Chris x Collier

Clifford Chapin, bakugos VA, tweeted this about this episode. "I nearly fainted 5 times recording this episode. I also pulled a muscle in my eye that is still recovering and had a headache that I couldn't get rid of for 6 days straight afterwards. AFO wasn't the only one Kacchan wrecked that day."

Kacchan BakuGOAT

"He's gonna eat the blood for nutrients" Montana killed me with that, like hes a little vampire demon baby 😭

Himiko Toga

I love all for one man, such a fun antagonist. Maybe not as complex as Shigiraki, but i love him especially his young dub actor

Chris x Collier

Thank you for answering my question! Afo's psychology is one of the most interesting things in the show for me. He's literally a baby who never grew up from his base needs and wants, and slowly unpacking that throughout the show is down so well

Himiko Toga

Y’all posted this right on time I jst got off work

Daedae

Slight info, the manga does state that afo and Yoichi were born 1 year before the glowing baby. A lot of his anger towards him comes from that

Himiko Toga

I am here before I even watch this to say that I better not catch anybody calling Bakugo an ugly baby! HE IS CUTE OKAY?! 😡 lol

Kiribukai

Who was a less cute baby: All For One or Bakugo? 🤣

HBelmont 24

Hawks (or at least his vestige) being inside All For One and telling him off feels JUST like FMAB, when Kimblee did that to Pride. 😁
