Fantastic episode!

Having Bakugo call Midoryia “Izuku” and apologizing to him just proves how much he’s grown

When Deku says "I'm sorry for saying that you couldn't keep up" and Bakugo says "I know" I think there's a lot more behind that "I know" than just "I know you're sorry" I seen it as him saying "I've said the exact same shit to you countless times, I know the guilt you felt saying it."

I love how Bakugou concluded his apology by calling Deku ‘Izuku’ to really drive home that he’s not talking to the hero Deku or the kid he use to rival himself with, but just with Izuku.

Lupa saying “he bout to go back in time bro” when Iida, the guy built for speed had his armor peeling off from the speed killed me

I love that they used You Say Run while Deku was running away and hearing Bakugo call Deku "Izuku" got me all emotional as well

The friendship of Deku and Iida I feel is super underrated

Really puts in perspective how fast Deku can move 💀

Lots of people hate and don't understand how important Bakugo's apology was for his character development. That was heart-warming

Bakugo's character development is the most touching moment for me.

And the fact Bakugo called him Izuku for the first time this show is EVERYTHING!!

Such an emotional episode everyone coming together to carry on his burdens. But what I love the most about this episode is Bakugo’s apology. This is something he needed to say, this is what Izuku needed to hear. I have waited for this part to be animated and they delivered

The scene for the ramp launch is a *parallel* to S3 with Bakugo rescue mission at Kamino (where All Might vs AFO 2 took place) - as they are at the same place now with All Might's statue as a memorial. Iida (not Bakugo) reached for Deku now, as Kirishima (not Deku) reached for Bakugo then.

The Mineta part was one of the funniest moments in mha history. I remember everyone being so confused when that part in the manga chapter came out😂

bakugo saying dekus name for the first time and using such a soft voice really hits me every time, character development done perfectly

This episode was just the best. This scene did justice to the manga

6:53 “He about to go back in time” I’m crying 😂

Bakugo’s growth is insane. He recognized his faults and actually apologized to Izuku. He also did it in front of the whole class and let himself be vulnerable. I never would have thought that would happen watching him in season 1. Also the voice acting from his voice actor was so good. I really felt the emotion. And I just love how everyone in the class came for Izuku because they didn’t want him to shoulder this alone. Each of them referencing their special moments with him and how they just wanted him to let them have his back. This might be in my top episode list.

Deku fighting his class and still giving them problems while tired is like a MMA heavy weight champion after a fight giving hands to teenagers.

Bro Lupa’s reaction to them flying towards Deku killed me

They needed prep-time, multiple quirks and good teamwork to take on an exhausted Deku who wasn't even trying to clap back, bro was just trying leave the whole time.

*Over these past few weeks, I knew things were going to get emotional, so I promised myself wouldn't cry. I was doing pretty well up until this. I'm crying so damn hard now!*

notice how the way they propelled themselves to catch deku is similar to how they did to save bakugo in season 3, even picking a specific member to reach out to him.

I like how that was less of a fight and more just a sequence of Class 1-A hugging Deku with their quirks, without consent.

The tone from the seiyuu, the animation. Baku's apology almost had me crying in the manga but this episode got me there 😭

Bakugo haters: „I’ll never forgive Bakugo until he actually apologizes to Deku“ Bakugo: „I’m sorry for everything I did to you, Izuku“ Bakugo haters: „wait that’s illegal!?“ That scene though, with the imagery of Bakugo and Deku going through their entire childhood in different stages of school, is still one of my favorites in the entire story. There is so much power behind that it just had me almost bawling

Love, LOVE, LOVE this episode. Let's discuss the parallels. First, we have Iida thinking back to when he thought he absolutely had to face the villain before him to the point of even throwing away his own safety. Izuku is playing right into AFO's hands by tiring himself out but he feels like he can't just sit and rest when Shigaraki always knows where he is. Izuku helped Iida with his problem. Now Iida steps up to help him with his. Next up, the Bakugo rescue that happened. Back then, Shoto made the ice ramp as Iida flew through the sky. Izuku had so many bottled up feelings for Bakugo. So many things he wanted to say to him. But he knew Bakugo would see it as a sign of weakness if he reached out to grab his hand. So he took a step back and allowed Kirishima to do it. Now, Shoto makes another ice ramp and Bakugo is the one who has the bottled up feelings inside him. He has so many things he wants to say. So many things he NEEDS to say. But he puts his feelings aside and lets Iida grab Izuku's hand because he's designed for speed. We see Tenya get to reaffirm that helping a child in need is what he does. Meddling in affairs where people might reject your help is what being a hero is all about. But more importantly, Deku needs to take a bath. Kaminari was right. All jokes aside, let's talk about Bakugo's speech. These two have such a complex relationship. From childhood best friends to a strained relationship due to Bakugo feeling inferior, to Bakugo and Izuku reluctantly working together, to Bakugo telling Izuku to stay back when he was captured to his meltdown in their second fight to them being proper rivals and Bakugo helping Deku with his quirks and then jumping in the way to save him without thinking like Izuku did for him in the past. They have such a complex relationship filled with a whirlwind of feelings. But Bakugo was willing to be vulnerable not just in front of Deku, but everything in their class. He swallowed his pride and admitted his weakness. He told Deku that it was okay to rest. That it's okay to have shortcomings because they'll have his back. And he ran up to catch Izuku when he fell. Iida caught Izuku, Bakugo made him feel comfortable enough to finally rest on his shoulder, and now the public has to be convinced that he can stay at the school. Deku thinks he's useless if he can't save people. But now it's time to address an important question. Who saves the heroes when they're in trouble? Side note, I almost forgot the Mineta line. Fun fact, in the manga, people were freaking out because of Mineta saying he fell for Deku. The fandom nearly having a meltdown at bi Mineta was peak chaos.

The call backs for this episode had me in tears

The episode was great, I love how Deku gently placed Mineta back on the ground instead of just flinging him away. I do love seeing Mineta get character development like this.

The whole episode is emotional. When You Say Run started...the dam broke. Couldn't hold the tears back anymore. Masterclass episode.

Bakugo really is a runner-up for one of the best characters in the show

I like how in this episode, Ida finally embraced the hero name Ingenium. Basically accepting the burden of carrying on that legacy, and finally coming to terms with his past mistakes.

"HE BOUT TO GO BACK IN TIME" 😭😭😭😭😭

This whole episode just felt like "Look what they need to mimic even a fraction of our power"

It’s insane that the majority of Izuku’s classmates either recall the moments they spent together, worry about his well-being, or influenced in a way that they took to heart and my favorite ones are: Ilda remembering his words of “meddling when you don’t need to is the essence of a hero” during their encounter with Stain, Jiro appreciating Izuku’s note taking skills to help her out with during their time preparing the band for the school festival, Shoji remembering that team up back at Summer Camp that can rival All Might, Kaminari wanting him to take a shower plus rest, Mina saying she doesn’t want anyone else to leave so that they can attend classes again, and then there’s freaking Bakugo stepping up to atone for him bullying Izuku by apologizing not just to him, but to all of Class 1-A to show that he swallowed his pride that one time… I ended up tearing up when I watched this heartbreaking moment…! It’s a shame that there’s only 2 episodes left because THIS SEASON WAS LIT!! 🤩🤩

2:26 And thats why this editor is the GOAT, look at the way Bakugou's explosion blows away the blurred title, holy shit

I didn’t think they’d be able to pull more tears out of me as a manga reader and Bones decided to do an onion genocide this episode

You guys notice in this episode that Bakugo, Ida, Ashido, Mineta, and Sero aren't wearing their masks/helmets when Class A was trying to get Deku back to U.A. Even Koda and Kirishima took their headgear off mid-battle.

Yo I didn't cry for a minute.. even when You Say Run started up..but I broke when I saw Iida. Not just because of their relationship, but because I KNEW it would have to be Bakugo to catch him, and the character progression of Bakugo sacrificing the spotlight/challenge to work together with Class 1-A and propel Iida forward because it was the smartest move.. just hit different 😭.. Then by the time I got myself together and dried my face.. Bakugo walked up with apology😨🥺😭😭😭😭

Really awesome tone where it's dark but still feels true to the series' themes of friendship and heroism.

I did exactly what Lupa did here, I was popping off about Bakugo acting like a freaking space shuttle but I also forgot about Lida, and seeing him fly off like the last stage of a rocket launch was just spectacular. I had to rewatch that bit a few times before I kept going.

7:53 No, Kirishima wasn't there. The mud villain incident happened around the same time Kirishima and Mina met Gigantomachia for the first time. Later Kirishima heard about a quirkless kid tried to save his friend, which hits his ego cause he couldn't even move to help the girls that encountered Machia. This was covered during Overhaul's arc, during their fight with Rappa iirc.

I can always count on these guys, idk what I was expecting. I was holding in tears the whole episode, and these guys were laughing their asses off and making jokes. You guys made me laugh a lot with this one haha.

6:37 I HATE YOU LUPA🤣🤣 Lots of reactors have been missing the fact and weight of Bakugo called Deku by his government name, “Izuku” rather than just “Deku”

If You Say Run starts playing, you know someone is about to pop off

Deku is so fast it literally took a train track to launch off of, Todo to blast Baku and Baku to blast Ilda, who was already using his ultimate ability ALL just to catch Deku. Like it took multiple people to do a chain reaction to boost someone to catch him holy moley.

Bakugo wanting Iida to grab Izukus hand is a parallel to Izukus wanting kirishima to reach out to bakugo

Loved Bakugou's apology, and the acknowledgement of his past mistakes! The VA's, the music, the visuals all amazing!!! :D

Ida was clearly going faster the Midoria. Was anyone else expecting Ida to just leave with Deku’s arm 😂

Something I noticed after a rewatch that I think y'all and most missed: that wasn't an improvised plan. They knew they were coming at the most powerful hero in the world. They know what All Might and Deku were capable of. They knew how Deku would react and what he would respond to. They knew what tactics to open and follow up with. They knew they were weaker, analyzed the situation, and made a plan with multiple contingencies that used everyone's strength in unison for a coordinated effort. Which is exactly what Midoriya has done every single time they've ever faced an enemy together. Ending with the coup de grace: an amped up version of his strategy to rescue Bakugo. This wasn't improvised, this was a 4D reverse Uno card using everything Deku ever taught them

“This is the last time we talked” flashback with Tail guy killed me 💀💀

i like how saving deku was a mirror to bakugo getting saved. in the sense of their bff was the one who grabbed their hand while flying threw the air. S6 is hittin hard!!

I really like that it was Iida that grabbed him during that crazy scene. Ppl seem to leave him out a lot when talking about Dekus closest friends but he's definently all the way up there with Uraraka, and their friendship is one of many things I love about the show. Bakugo giving him that bit of recognition during that scene I think is rly cool too

Finally, the one of the moments I was waiting for. I love how he concluded his apology through all of this, but it’s also crazy because it now shows how far ahead Midoriya is.

Congratulations to the boy for bringing our main character back to the light

First of all, the "traintracks on ice" maneuver was a call back to when they saved Bakugo from the League. Including the fake out of instead of Deku reaching out to Bakugo, Kirishima was sent to do that instead. This time it was Bakugo sending Iida. Also when this chapter came out, "Mineta being Bi" was actually trending because his choice of words to Deku could be interpreted as a love confession (or at least, the translation was). It was hilarious.

I was really focused on the whole sequence but when Kaminari told Izuku to bath, it broke me and I started to laugh 😂

Shoto with that ice wall gave me the same energy of Batman beating the shit out of thugs and saying "NOW TALK!"

The thing that annoys me about those civilians is that they are being so hostile towards a child who hasn’t been home in ages. It really shows that disconnect like they are so entitled.

no ones gonna talk about how this is all happening while raining and there's bakugo apologizing to deku 🤧

"Who saves the weak from the man who saves weak" - Monsoon The Winds Of Destruction

“He hit Deku with Deku” 😂😂 YES

I'm really glad Bakugo apologized in front of everyone. He could've done it behind the scenes but he did it in front of the class. The same way he used to bully him in front of the class. Clean.

Shoto being upset that Deku said they "can't keep up", is interesting, because his dad Endeavour felt he couldn't keep up with All Might (and that's what drove him to do all that abuse on his family).

Present Mic having a megaphone is actually a really good detaile since he isn't going to use his quirk that could hur the civillians.

This all credits how strong Deku is, from season 1 til now. He's burnt out, tired and completely exhausted. But still outclassed his classmates lmao. Him "flying" away was crazy that it took the combined efforts of class 1-A to even catch up. Season 7 is gonna showcase his last quirk in an amazing way. Hopefully they don't give us any still frames during any of the production.

Even after all that whole rescue mission and apology, Deku still not really feeling okay to stay at UA as he said. He was brought back physically, but he hasn't been fully *"saved"* yet mentally. Like Eri after Overhaul, before cultural festival. Deku was straight up ready to leave after all that work to get him back, but Uraraka had to grab his hand to keep him there. So in the end, she will try to complete this mission so that Deku is fully "saved".

DEKU : uses 45% of his power just to run away (not fight) Class A : Uses the power of flash backs to go Plus Ultra and catch up to him DEKU : Look at what they have to do to mimic a fraction of my power

This episode made Lupa-san speechless and cry. Bruh, episode of the year so far.

I loved how Deku mentioned how danger sense didn't go off once non of them were actually trying to hurt him which was dope

damn they hit deku with a 20 man talk no jutsu combo

The fact that Bakugo's apology got Lupa all emotional, really means something.

Lupa with the "Aye fuck em up!" had me crying🤣🤣🤣2:36

“You say run” is THE BEST power of friendship saves the day song💪🏾🔥

"He about to go back in time" I'm ded 😂😂😂

Damn Deku really took a header into an ice wall no wonder he was out cold afterwards

That shot when ida catched midoriya? Beautiful, I was tearing up when I first watched it lol

A lot of people are missing it, but the line Iida said to Deku "Meddling when you don't need to is the essence of being a hero" is the exact same thing Deku said to Iida back when he helped him fight Stain when Iida was being stubborn about accepting help.

They almost made me cry with that catch up scene and a real apology from our boy Katsuki, crazy.

Bruh, how am I supposed to read when my eyes are completely soaked?

Broo when they told deku to take a shower i immediately thought of Lupa lol

Man if Fa Jin is this cool, I can't wait for when No2 will show his quirk.

Roshi sees Lupa on tv and texts him R:“have you showered?” L:“Nah” R:“You should”

Those waves of emotion you guys felt with Bakugo and Deku, trust that we all felt it. Teared up again during the reaction 😢🥲

Definitely my favorite episode so far. Bakugo's apology was the best but I like how all his friends, whether big or small were from the heart. Deku really made a impact on them.

This episode was freaking epic. I love the teamwork 1-A made in order to bring Deku back, and when You Say Run played, I got hyped. When Ida used Midoriya's words from Season 2 against him, that made me tear up a little bit. And Bakugou finally apologized to Midoriya. 5:57-7:23 LMFAO

It’s always so cool seeing the quirk combos they come up with 🔥

Class 1-A's attacks weren't improv, you know they put some formations together before hand. That last move was the same move the group used in season 3 to rescue Bakugo. A move that Midoriya came up with. They threw Midoriya's own word and moves right at him.

The whole "creating icebridge to catch someone in the sky" and "i'll let him save you because i dont think i'm worthy for it" is a call back to when deku's tried to save deku! Both were in kamino too.

It's also nice to remember: when they went to save bakugo deku said it wouldn't be a good idea if he was the one to offer his hand - so he let kirishima do it. Now in this ep bakugo does the same with letting ida talk first

The writer Horikoshi stated that Present mic was using a megaphone because of how delicate the situation was. everyone on edge, scared. He thought yelling with his quirk was inappropriate.

I remember reading this and loving it and I'm blown away with the anime doing this whole sequence justice. Absolute peek.

Real Talk…I HATE YALL! I can’t go a day without watching y’all’s content. It helps me thru the day. I came across your content at the beginning of the pandemic. Just lost 3 family members, my girlfriend left me and the kid on the way…wasn’t mine. I found comfort in your content. I became addicted, it helped me get over the hurt being distracted, watching other black content creators react the way I reacted the first time around. I didn’t feel alone…it helped me out he rut. I wanted to interact so badly but felt like Allmight, I had to post something Live to catch your attention, thus the Deep Fried Chitterlings Sandwiche comment caught your attention. I felt acknowledged. I want to say Thank you so much…thank isn’t even enough of a form of gratitude I want to show. As a content creator there’s so much pressure…it’s not easy. Thank you for your content…thank you for y’all and what you do. If you’re ever live and chitterings is mentioned…that’s me…letting you know I’m here, and enjoy your content and showing my love, appreciation and admiration for y’all. Thank you again

Todoroki sounds like he about to start a rumbling (erens VA)

Bro everyone else reasoning with him and then Tokoyami just slamming him through a wall had me dying

Bro on the right is the only one shedding some tears during this. It’s all good, we all did too.

That train track stunt was an echo to Deku improviseing how to get Bakugo out of the equation so All Might can go all out on All For One back in season 3.

Lupa’s scream 😭😭🤣🤣

I am NOT taking a bath with human toaster, Kaminari.

This is my all time favorite fight of MHA. This just dethroned All-Might’s Last Stand in Season 3 as my personal favorite episode. This episode is SHEER heartbreak. And the fact Izuku is more or less dying of that throughout makes this so much harder. Izuku has been nothing but selfless to the core throughout all of MHA. And what happens after each and every major event, he is not met with comfort or reassurance, but lectures and disregard. No matter how many lives he has saved. And that is at the core of all of this. Lack of faith. Izuku has powered through each and every arc in this show with no one believing in him. Crushed by the expectations of a 200 year conflict and even as he surpasses his ideals, he is STILL met with the same lack of faith throughout the story. From his teachers, from his classmates, from his mother, from the holders, from AFO (more to the point he’s so much less threatened by Izuku than All-Might.), his mentors, and more. He has spent this ENTIRE show making sacrifice after sacrifice. Slowly coming to a single devastating conclusion. Deku is OFA. But what else is there? And that is where this fight goes from sad to heartbreaking. This fight is Izuku trying to prove over and over again he can do this. And Class 1-A now sees the burden on his shoulders. And they all try to interpret it. What he means to the effort, how he might be playing into the enemies hands, and what he’s done for them. And they might have this gratitude. But they all slowly prove his point. This is a 19v1 battle and Izuku Midoriya proves what he has EASILY overcoming the most powerful classmates. I’ve made this analogy before and I feel it sticks VERY well. This is the equivalent of coming across Superman covered in blood and charred remains everywhere and him crying in a corner…and the general response is, “You know, Darkseid may have wanted this. You should be careful how you apply your heat vision. You know people are scared of you when you look like this. Are you living up to the ideals of your value as a hero? Here’s my thoughts on how I desire to be a hero. Sorry I bullied you in elementary school.” That is what Izuku hears throughout this. They are touching him and he’s crying because it means a lot that every little thing he’s done means so much to them. But…they’re kinda missing the point. Izuku Midoriya is TRASHED internally. His physical exhaustion DOES end this fight less any specific speech going through to him. Even Bakugo’s. But almost everything here is just another burden for him to bare. Nearly every idealistic point has crossed his mind, every paranoid faction of AFO being after him has crossed his mind. AFO can show up at ANY moment and COMPLETELY overpower Deku AND the other kids. And that paranoia is driving him forward. And none of the kids are going through the perspective Izuku Midoriya…is separate from his efforts. He is burdened of the god conflict. At the end of the day, no quirk other than OFA has charged for 200 years to tackle the man who has spent 200 years gathering powers. Izuku Midoriya is going to be the last holder of OFA. That remains unchanged. (If he isn’t, that basically means Deku failed.) The kids mean a LOT to him. And I won’t deny their efforts are the sweetest things. (Except Sato deciding to Blackmail Izuku for some reason. XD I just think YEAH, I need food coloring for Eri’s candy apples. I’ll just stop what I’m currently doing.) Then there’s Bakugo’s apology. I…love this moment for Bakugo. He has come such a long way in accepting Izuku and making himself a better person as a result. But…this is where a biting reality comes into play. When Bakugo says Izuku for the 1st time since he came up with the name Deku for him. When Bakugo calls Izuku the name Deku. It’s always been by his definition. There was no point where Bakugo started using his hero name definition, there is no point where he has been calling him a hero. He has ALWAYS been calling him useless. Which matches with how he’s supplied more doubt to Deku’s efforts than ANYONE. So that apology as HUGE as it is for Bakugo…it essentially means “I see you as a person.” This is why I’ve brought up that Bakugo has competed with OFA, NOT Izuku Midoriya. He respects All-Might’s decision to pass on OFA to Izuku and will now help All-Might by getting Izuku to this ideal they’ve both seen their whole lives. Izuku CLEARLY can tell how much care Bakugo put into those words…but…again, this…doesn’t save Izuku. How could it? And I’ll say this because it means a lot in of itself. Izuku Midoriya…doesn’t forgive him. Instead he takes the moment to apologize to THEM. Because even though they’ve missed the mark on his efforts, they are living to his ideals. But the lack of forgiveness stuck out to me WAY more. The fact he IMMEDIATELY turns to leave when met with the crowd proves he HADN’T been saved. Even with no energy at all, and each of his classmates doing EVERYTHING to stop him so he can finally rest and release some burden. He STILL turns to leave. Izuku Midoriya is still covered in the efforts of being the holder of OFA. Based on everything we’ve seen this season, AFO or AFS to these people COULD come at any moment and battle Deku. And Deku proved he’s in no shape to win, AND he almost won a 19v1 at his LOWEST. OFA will always be the underdog to AFO. That is a FACT. Even if they are now equal quirks due to OFA being the better stockpiler, AFO on a fundamental level is twice the quirk OFA is. (OFA is give, and AFO is give AND take.) And his release? Being in a place where everyone views him as their GREATEST THREAT to their safety. This place is probably the biggest burden he’s ever felt in his life. And that is SAYING SOMETHING. THIS place could cause his burdens to reach critical mass and he could ABSOLUTELY die of heartbreak. This is more a prison less a sanctuary. This episode is DEVASTATING. And one I’ll admire for its best efforts for as long as I live. But this is 2-ways. Just because the intentions are pure and executed for what needs to be said, it doesn’t mean that it’ll effect anything. Both ways.
