I always wondered about that principal guy. What kind of quirk would make him look like that, and whether it had any practical use. As it turns out, he's not even human, and it's his quirk that allows him to be more human-like (and beyond).

Fixed that.

A pair with average intelligence still would have been pressed hard to find escape routes in that situation. They basically had no chance from the beginning.

I wouldn't say they had no chance. Proper use of Mina's quirk could have gotten them to the gate.

That was kind of the point with most of the match ups. Thirteen's quirk renders lasers useless and renders Ochako's anti-gravity useless. Jirou's sound based abilities are utterly useless against Present mic's. Todoroki was determined to be too reliant on his quirk and so he was paired up against eraser head. Cementoss has a quirk you can not brute force your way through which is why he was selected to test those who normally brute force their way through. Powerloader had a quirk that limits maneuverability, which is bad for high speed types. Its not entirely perfect(can't really see how Snipe works against tentacle and invisible girl), but the match ups were meant to play AGAINST the strength's of the students and exploit their weaknesses. If the students wanted to pass, then they needed to overcome those weaknesses

Heck the principal even took it easy on them as he says he actually did leave a path open for them. Still, all in all, if you aren't a great student, then you'll probably do poorly on tests. If these kids want to be heroes they can't simply rely on their strong points, they need to cover their weaknesses aswell. As pro heroes, they should always be prepared for a villain that might try to exploit their weak points.

Heck one thing i feel like they could have even potentially tried; splitting up. Only one of them needs to make it to the exit. Team work is normally important, but their quirks don't really do well for supporting each other, especially in a situation like this, so maybe splitting up could have worked. Kaminari could focus on trying to go after the principal to keep him focused on him(if he can find him, he can take him down with electricity), while Mina uses her superior athleticism and maneuverability to work her way to the gate on her own; she'd probably be able to move faster without Kaminari. Splitting up would divide his focus and make it harder to keep both contained. Sure the principal should not be underestimated in this regard, but it might have been worth a shot.

I'm really liking this series, it's tied with Gintama and One Piece as my favorites.

Dark Wing · 2017-09-17, 18:17

I am so bummed I didn't get into this show until recently it so good all around and some much world building and theory crafting I missed out on...

The 48th Ronin · 2017-09-18, 07:58

Good thing Nezu is on the good side, otherwise he'll become one hell of a villain. Heck, AFO might be passed onto him instead of Tomura.

And Mineta... *manly tears*

Dark Wing · 2017-09-20, 20:23

Also for the ones who said they would love to see a story ofa qurikless hero. This series has a spin-off manga called vigilanty i believe about a guy calling himself the crewler.

It's "Vigilante" actually, and the protagonist does have a quirk. That said it's a good read - not on a level with Horikoshi's writing IMHO, but solidly on-point. And it's heading into a very interesting canon subplot right now.

The protagonist of the Vigilante spinoff does have a quirk.

Spoiler for Vigilante manga spoiler:

Requiem-x · 2017-09-21, 23:04

So, all they needed to do to beat Thirteen was to let go; he obviously wasn't going to let the students get atomized. Oh well, the training was still useful and Aoyama did help in the end, so all is well.

And here I was afraid Mineta would mess up or make a fool out of himself, but by the end, I was giving a sincere thumbs up. I underestimated him, and the series as a whole.

Finally we get to see what the principal is capable of, and it kinda caught me off guard, but in hindsight, its a pretty fitting power for someone in that position, and its certainly fun to see. It also amuses me how I was thinking about the possibility of non humans having quirks, yet I had been beaten to the punch all along.

Now, to the main event!

Random14 · 2017-09-23, 06:00

And so the final exam battles end, with a particularly brutal one at that. All Might's still not exactly a good teacher, considering all the damage the kids took in those exchanges. And whatever else, you gotta admit Bakugo's got tons of willpower to spare.

Although Deku being too in awe of All Might the whole time is a continuing problem too. Gran Torino told him it was holding him back, but its kind of hard to change quickly (and Deku's got to learn to stand on his own eventually).

So just one episode left in this season? I'm really going to miss this show and I hope they have an announcement of when the next season will be (I think the first season ended like that?), but I don't mind a long wait with this level of quality animation. Not often we see Bakugo go all out (and its still not enough to really scratch All Might).

Dengar · 2017-09-23, 06:02

This played out more or less the way I thought. It started out with Bakugo making some mistakes, but in the end he does whatever it takes to win. Defeating All Might was of course, never an option. But I liked Deku just being Deku at the end.

And in the end, if there's one thing Bakugo has in common with Deku, it's that he's willing to do whatever it takes to achieve his goal, including blowing up his own limbs.

LevelSeven · 2017-09-23, 06:47

deku going back at AM, i didnt like that part in the manga either,

bakugou basically did everything in this battle but at te end its deku who gets to shine... well he is the MC so thats obvious

Stark700 · 2017-09-23, 07:56

I really like the emotions poured into this episode. Bakugo's VA did a great job at protraying his character and I felt emotionally moved.

Ofc, he had trouble working with Deku with his personality.
The action of those two in the end paid off and I have to admit, the momentum of the episode was done pretty well from start to finish.

League of Villians....ah so excited to see more of them!

Ultragunner · 2017-09-23, 09:07

...*sign*...no matter what, I still can't like Bakugo's character
the way he says "...scum like you..." is quintessential of a bully, or corrupted high born nobles that look down on peasants

Deku is not blameless, either. It's obvious that Bakugo never saw you as friend, yet you keep calling him "Kacchan" as if you guys were close

, and you should know that it just pisses him off

And finally All Might, yeah, a bad teacher in full effect there

. Well at least he pushed those two to cooperate, so props to him

Dengar · 2017-09-23, 09:34

He's a bit rough around the edges but I wouldn't say he's a bad teacher. I mean, if he held back, would those two really have learned anything?

Yeah, All Might did act like a good teacher here. He used just enough force to overpower the kids and made them go beyond their limits, physically and mentally. Any more and he would have one shotted them (just look at what a single punch did to the city), and any less and the exam would have been pointless. He did get a bit too much into it in the end resulting in their injuries, but it actually shows how much he cares.

Yeap. Not gonna lie, not a fan of the character myself, either... Hopefully, there's more to him than that, in the future? Somehow? Because, so far, I haven't really seen much to entice me.

No, he sure hasn't picked up any clues yet, the poor kid...
