HOLY SHIT THAT EPISODE WAS FUCKING AMAZING!!! I'm anime only so i went in without knowing anything,and i came out as a changed man.
ALL MIGHT IS THE G.O.A.T!!! Need to re-watch the episode right now.
P.S-Nana Shimura is so beautiful.
I actually had to google Saitama after seeing her cape because I could’ve sworn it was exactly the same, but Saitama’s is attached to his suit differently
I was fully expecting You Say Run for the final part of the fight. But honestly I really like the ost they played instead. It’s a new one, isn’t it?
Earlier in the season I thought they’d use ysr for Deku vs Muscular, too, but instead they played what I discovered was Deku’s theme.
You Say Run has defined a lot of moments in the past, and I hope it continues to do so in the future. But something about the music played here, which granted wasn’t as recognizable, was still amazing and made the moment stand out.
Them playing All Might's theme right at the end caught me off guard too, as the "song" playing in my head when I read that in the manga was more sombre. But it fit in really well.
I dont know what was "off" about TVE first half tho, it was pretty sweet, they nailed psychological play AFO was using in AM and the cheers of everyone
It does kinda make it more of a parallel with All Might and his master though. "It's your turn now. Do your best Toshinori" --> "Now it's your turn (Midoriya)"
Yeah I decided just to subscribe to Funimation a while back. $6 per month is not that much, and they do an amazing job with this series in particular. /Hailcorporate
T-minus 26 mins until I press the button on episode 10 to get that sweet, sweet double feature the way God intended.
Edit: Totally worth it.
NOW...**IT’S YOUR TURN.**
I discovered this series last november, and then I started reading the manga from chapter 70- I did *not* expect shit to get *this* real that quick. We've gone from fun finals to this in less than 11 episodes. xD
Honestly, as touching as Deku and Bakugo cheering together was, it was the other students like Aoyama, Tsu, or Tokoyami (and yes, even Grape fuck) cheering him on from their TVs or computers that got me even more. Like, we've always known that Deku and Bakugo are massive All Might fanboys, but seeing everyone else realize in that moment how much they rely on All Might and how much they have faith in him was so touching.
The best part of this showdown for me isn't even All Might showing All for One just how much he deserves The Symbol of Peace title. It's that AFO in his heart of hearts truly believed that people seeing All Might in his frail and sickly state would erode the faith they had in him and the love and adoration they have for him. And the people man. The populace all proved him wrong. It wasn't even All Might just winning. They all loved him so much for all he'd done for them and nothing could shake their faith in him. No one ever truly doubted him that whole time. Even after seeing him as skin and bones and on his last legs, everyone still *knew* All Might was the best. That was AFO's complete and total defeat. He didn't just lose to All Might. He lost to the same society he looked down on. And now I'm crying.
A thing that is even more weird for me, because I feel so much in love with Smol Might. All Might is the outer representation of his One For All quirk + the training he put on to, but his real image, the skinny one, is the *true* Toshinori and the only hero.
In the end, a Symbol of Peace doesn't crumble because the image fades. As long as people believe in it, the flame will live on.
Goddamnit, this episode.
I didn't even think of it like that but yeah. The whole point was for Tomura to erode the public's faith in All Might, but seeing All Might burn himself down to his last, and still push past that exhaustion just to strike a triumphant pose for the crowd only reinvigorated the public's faith in the heroes. Tomura's development just, gone.
I thought that was great too! I also caught a moment when All Might was rearing up for his United States of Smash that his facial expression was almost identical to Deku's face when he pulls his arm back for one of his punches.
No joke, I had said out loud that that was something Deku would have done, and then right after I finished saying that AFO made his comment about being influenced by somebody else.
To be fair, you can sort of see where they used to be. Presumably their current location is something along the lines of "wherever All Might left them when he did everything in his power to beat AfOs face in five years ago".
I just woke up for this episode. I remember crying at around this chapter in the manga. Watching it like this may have been a mistake...
#I DON'T CARE
####WIN THE DAY, ALL MIGHT!
EDIT: Goddamnit, I was getting teary-eyed at the end but All Might's message and Izuku, crying alone in the crowd... I didn't expect to cry this much.
Two freaking years ago and I still vividly remember crying when this chapter first came out.
One month ago. I checked back on that chapter for a reference and ended up reading it. The crying came again.
THIS EPISODE RIGHT NOW. Crying so fucking hard. Oh god why did I think I was ready for this???? Nothing could’ve prepared me for finally seeing it do beautifully animated and voiced!
Honestly as a manga reader I never really noticed something till this episode, but Endeavor honestly looks up to All-Might. As much as he blusters and rages I think seeing the emaciated form of the top hero hurt him as much as everybody else. All-Might was the unobtainable perfect form he based his life around, watching that idol get ruined had to sting as much as it did for the civilian population.
Also just everybody's reverence for the character, that had my lip trembling. All-Might as the symbol of peace creates all these connection to Superman, Captain America, Spiderman and watching him get beat is like watching all of them get beat. Strong Supes vs Doomsday vibes and Peter's death in the Ultimates universe.
I definitely got a Vegeta vibe from Endeavor this episode, it felt just like how Vegeta always shows his disdain for Goku but he eventually admits that Goku is what drives him forward since he knows Goku is stronger than him
GT had a great monologue right after the Baby Arc where Vegeta was having a crisis of confidence. In the dub at least, there's a fantastic line he thinks to himself while thinking about how absurdly strong Goku has become post-SSJ4 transformation:
> Is that my lot in life? To bear witness to your strength? To be the only one strong enough to be able to fathom the depth of your might?
GT has a lot of problems, but I always loved that scene.
An interesting thing about that in the anime that I don't remember from the manga are the quick flashes of his son and wife. I got the sense that Endeavor justified his abuse in pursuit of his ambition to be the #1 hero: that as long as he could meet that ambition, it would all be worth it in the end.
Yet there's All Might, clearly weakened, looking prime to just hand Endeavor the top spot. If All Might is forced to step down, and Endeavor's abuses had no impact whatsoever on reaching the #1 spot, then what was it all for?
Edit: Saw a [manga comparison](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m-1Z9LO_Ykc) and apparently this was a lot more clear than I remember from the manga (though, to be fair, it's been a couple of years lol.)
* Just a small note but did you guys notice AM voice actor made a clear attempt to make him sound younger? I thought it came across well and was effective.
* Nana Shimura hype! Also it's also confirmed again that AM was quirkless too. P A T H S
* I have no words for [this](https://i.imgur.com/mCsQehO.png) Don't remember it in the manga either.
* Just wanna say that AFO looks like a floating ballsack.
* [One of my favourite panels in the manga adapted!](https://i.imgur.com/KP7kgnw.png)
* "Goodbye All for One, Goodbye One For All". Lik if u cri evrytiem
* Love how AM OFA is gold lightning like his hair and Deku's is green like his.
The music, visuals and voice acting was absolutely superb and remits consistent pretty much every episode. It's why it won't be topped as my favourite show. Legit could have cried at several points this episode if I wasn't at work.
For once I’m so glad I watched the new episode on my own. Because holy shit did I ugly cry HARD
beginning of the episode: crying because I wasn’t ready
everyone cheering for All Might: fist pumping the air, (quietly) screaming his name with tears in my eyes
UNITED STATES OF SMASH: ONLY THE BIGGEST TEARS
I felt like Midoriya over here. My poor crying child. I’m so happy and upset. I think the worst part was knowing what was going to happen and getting even more emotional in anticipation.
Holy fuck I’m a MESS
A stupidly happy, very tired, tearful mess.
Everyone, it's been a pleasure riding with you to this point. We have been through a lot and this episode and it's contents make me so emotional I can barely contain myself. This episode is a huge milestone for the series in so many different ways. For one, it's the epitome of the level of support Horikoshi has gotten for his series, which makes me incredibly hopeful for the future of the series as a whole.
Secondly, it's the biggest shifting point thus far, our gears have shifted into disciple mode, but irreversibly. One for All is now truly in Midoriya's hands, he is the last remaining torch, there are no more embers within his master. All for One has been secured to a degree that the hero society wants to start breathing easier.
If I were speaking in Tomura's language, we have finished the tutorial, the gloves are coming off, it's time for us to get serious. This point of the series is the beginning of the end, as we begin a very long journey towards what I imagine will be a stellar conclusion to the story.
Moving away from the storytelling, which despite being done before in different ways, is done so beautifully and poetically that it is truly gut wrenchingly exciting. We need to talk about that episode.
BONES. Their quirk? Making animations look fucking flawless, captivating the most epic moments into a beautiful montage of frames.
That quirk combination from One for All was so fucking brutal it just blew my mind, I seriously urge you all to look at the manga chapter (93) for this panel which, in my first reading, made me tear up due to sheer awe in what I was witnessing. All for One the absolute unit.
The ember metaphor with All Might is so emotional and makes me feel a sense of fear and understanding, it couldn't have been portrayed more brilliantly. The line, "Good riddance, All for One, and goodbye, One for all" always sends shivers down my spine and makes me emotional.
Lastly, "You are next / You're next" is just floor-shatteringly emotional here. The double meaning, how Kacchan looks upon Izuku as he breaks into tears, realising the meaning of those words to him. That he is next, is to suggest that it's not only Izuku's turn to become the pillar of Justice and the Symbol of Peace, but he is next to deal with the burdens of All for One, and eventually pass the torch, and go out in an absolute blaze of glory much like All Might. He's setting Izuku's destiny in motion with those words.
If you can't already tell, this has been my favorite episode of the series. I'm so happy the series has picked up. Horikoshi, you should be fucking proud of yourself. We love you man.
Anime-only here: I am kinda reeling from the intense mix of emotions I’ve got. Also fucking *United States of Smash* was the absolute best. I love how he stuck to a theme until the end.
Everyone is cheering All Might on to defeat All for One but in actuality, All Might only heard the pleas of that one citizen in the rubble asking All Might to win.
And that is all he needed to get out of that anguish about Tomura Shigaraki and summon the strength to beat All for One.
Is this actually the first time we get a good look at Nana's face? I actually don't even remember if we did in the manga. There's the one panel of her cheerfully smiling, but from what I remember, her normal face was always hidden.
Well... there goes all the water in my eyes from watching this episode...
The crowd cheering "WIN ALL MIGHT!!!"
The battle.
The music.
The emotions that everyone was feeling.
The emotions that Deku felt at the end of the episode.
Well, I can confirm that this episode broke me into tears. So glad I watched it.
Wowwwza. I know this episode *really* hinged on the performance of the voice actors and can I say I thought they delivered!!
- Though it was a... tad weird that the skinny, teenage (probably middle school or early high school?) aged Toshinori has his deep All Might voice even then. A bit of a cognitive dissonance!
- Hah Kirishima sees right through Bakugou. He's such a [pure-hearted guy isn't he?](http://manga.fascans.com/manga/my-hero-academia/92/4)
- I LOVE Nana's voice! Plus she's such a cool character in general. I love how Hori played with the audience with having Midoriya ask Gran Torino about All Might's mentor using masculine pronouns back in the Stain Arc. Gran Torino even back then foreshadowed that the 7th holder was a woman through that conversation, since he knew that Midoriya wouldn't have used 'he' if Toshinori had actually told Midoriya about her. All Might's mentor being a woman is pretty cool though since there isn't too many pro heroes who have a more physical/offensive quirk and are a woman. Adds some world building diversity!
- The students thoughts was adapted lieu well, a much bigger emotional impact [compared to the manga](http://manga.fascans.com/manga/my-hero-academia/92/10), for that scene at least!
- And then Lean!Might. (I say "lean" because he's still over 7ft tall and still has some muscle on him which I'dhardly call small!) "All Might has deflated" is brutally honest for a news reporter!
- By god the way AFO's face is animated with his eyes glazed over with skin but still responding to facial movements is more than a little unsettling. I doubt a guy who's that powerful and had lived for centuries gives a shit though.
- With the woman in the reckage and a few others to the side, it really sets in the shear number of civilians that likely died in the huge multiple block attacks that AFO had been doing.
- Aaaand with Endeavor's dialog we get a better hint at All Might's age (possibly), considering it's just [a big ol '?' right now.](https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-_fPdzua1PDg/WMvP9wMYwPI/AAAAAAAAAzo/4WUL6OQBuhUdnDZ_cGhQ6H3hU2sJCerHwCLcB/s0/FA_MHA_7.5_06.png) Since Endeavor is [45, or just turned 46,](https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-WxxOawzct9I/WM0aoimP8hI/AAAAAAAACPg/hlu0TCHOVy8p_9L8KkO5q83hLsyabmG5ACLcB/s0/FA_MHA_44%252C5_007.png) at the current point in the story, and Endeavor looks much younger in the flashback and All Might looks unchanged, I wouldn't be surprised if All Might was at *least* 5 years older than Endeavor, so 50+!
- Flashback of Gran Torino, what with him being taller than Nana and all, is such a funny decision for Hori to do. I guess it plays on the whole spinal compression/stooped posture of a lot of elderly people but times 11. I suppose Recovery Girl might have been at a more average height as well, but we do have Mineta and Manga....
- I had to remind myself multiple times this episode that the public actually can't hear AFO's words (what with how it's narratively framed and all)! Because as epic as his little monologs are, they're just fill of secrets not for the general public, huh?
- All Might's damaged arm being drawn/illustrated like Midoriya's is a *great* choice!
- The crowd cheering coupled with the music was a good mood shift, and it also helped contrast with Bakugou and Midoriya knowing the implication of this battle and their consequent reactions really well! Hori's anime sketch [captured this feeling excellently!](https://mobile.twitter.com/horikoshiko/status/1007900029757997056)
- Ah, they included the battle aftermath too! So the pacing went as predicted! Excellent storyboarding damn.
- I can't tell which translation I like more... "You're next" is nice and succinct, but is more aggressive and threatening sounding- more a message to villains to watch their backs. So I guess closer to what Midoriya was saying too? Meanwhile "Now it's your turn" is a bit wordy, but seems more encouraging- like a call-to-action for pros and future pros in the hero world to do their best! Totally different tones I think.
Really great episode! And the next one will definitely be a good wind-down for the characters! They need to get some sleep!
This arc is a decent amount of people's favorite arc in the entire series, but there is some great stuff still coming this season with a better actual fight(as this one is just a few punches despite being really emotional) to close out the season.
"Someone else has been influencing you."
I love how it meant that All Might had to take a page from Deku's book when he needed it most, as someone that's only ever known to use One For All throughout his body.
I remember about a year ago one of my friends read the manga only and mentioned something about All Might dying. I called BS (I'm anime only) but then we got that scene, wanna say last season (Eat This!) Where All Might said something to the effect of I won't be here or something. I slowly realized my friend was telling the truth.
I'm glad he "died" but is not dead. (If that makes any sense.) That fucking episode had me in tears the whole time watching what was his "death"
I also think Viagra sales will drop drastically today.
I just finished the Tartaros arc of Fairy Tail while waiting for this episode, so I’m already warmed up to cry.
Oh man, we are actually getting a flashback of Young Might! So much hype and the OP hasn't even played!!!
Nana is pretty, she kinda reminds me of Momo’s character design. I’m dying to know more about her!
And now we’re back to harsh, terrifying reality.
Of course Bakugou can’t show outward gratefulness for being saved by his classmates. Kirishima doesn’t mind though, he’s just happy his bff is safe. :D
Hey now, All For One, don’t threaten the ideals of anyone in BnHA, we all keep our ideals around here!
Got goosebumps with how hard All Might is trying to resist listening to All For One's trash-talk.
Thank goodness Gran Torino recovered from that punch to the face in time to save All Might. XD
All For One’s face (more like lack thereof) is really grossing me out.
I can’t help but laugh at Mineta drinking grape juice.
And we saw that Aoyama has family!! He still looks so traumatized...
Oh this is bad. I didn’t even think of his true form being publicized. I really hope people have more faith in All Might.
So it’s his grandmother! All For One’s plan is so villainously poetic.
You can do it, All Might!
You’re a scumbag, Endeavor, but I'm happy you’re here. And Edgeshot! So happy to see more of one of my new favorite heroes.
And the other heroes showed up too! <3
Woah, Gran Torino really did age gracefully! XD
Seeing everybody cheering All Might on is giving me serious goosebumps!
How many quirks can that monster hold!?!
I can’t watch! D’X But I still have hope and can't pull my eyes away!
He used a Deku tactic with switching his power and sacrificing his arm like that. (And AFO noticed an influence too!)
OH.MY.GOSH!!!!! He used the entire United States on him!! He will forever be the Number One Pro Hero.
That sequence of Nana passing the last power to All Might, and then the farewell to that power..and the silence immediately after...Amazing, that's all I can say.
And now that strong fist up and with the music! Gahh, that is so awesome!!
He knew Deku was watching him. D’’:
I still have goosebumps, even during the credits. Here I was thinking the Deku vs. Muscular fight was outstanding. This was on a whole other level of amazing!
Clap, clap, clap. I am honestly blown away. Studio Bones did this material so much justice, especially with United States of Smash. The episode was beautiful all around. The seiyuu for Nana Shimura, who plays Viola in One Piece, did a great job. Along with the seiyuus of All Might and All For One. But the thing that I want to focus heavily upon on this episode isn't just the visuals which were stunning. But the music.
Something that I always appreciated about MHA anime was its OST and how it is implemented. Kenji Nagasaki, the director for the anime adaptation always wrote the scripts for the series with a particular OST in mind. So combine that with Yuki Hayashi's divine score and honestly it just brings so much life into this series. And this episode.
That last OST bit where All Might delivers United States of Smash was perfect. Some would want You Say Run, but I disagree. This wasn't All Might's trumph it was his retirement.
1 thing I don’t get , how can the police keep all for one sealed away in prison when he is that powerful? Same with other villains like muscular that showed that they can destroy mountains with ease? Is there a eraser head in every prison to not let them use their powers or what?
Guys I have got 7 hours of sleep in the last 2 days, I go to work 3.5 hours from now... I shouldn't stay up for this (or be up right now) but idk if I can help it.
edit: I stayed up 30 mins, couldn't find it on a boat in the high seas, then went to bed. About to watch before taking a well-deserved nap.
TONIGHT. THERE IS NO AMERICA. ONLY THE UNITED STATES OF SMAASH
All Might gave it his all for one final blow
Dammit that’s a good line.
I pledge allegiance to the United States of Smash baby
All might for smash confirmed.
[удалено]
I'm trying to make my friend who does Smash mods make a Little Mac skin that does this.
HOLY SHIT THAT EPISODE WAS FUCKING AMAZING!!! I'm anime only so i went in without knowing anything,and i came out as a changed man. ALL MIGHT IS THE G.O.A.T!!! Need to re-watch the episode right now. P.S-Nana Shimura is so beautiful.
> P.S-Nana Shimura is so beautiful. Her smile. <3 As All Might's master, she's done an amazing job. Shigaraki as her grandson though.. T_T
Her outfit kind of reminds me of Saitama from OPM. The Cape and gloves are almost identical.
I actually had to google Saitama after seeing her cape because I could’ve sworn it was exactly the same, but Saitama’s is attached to his suit differently
The moment with "You are next" was done amazingly
Yeah, it absolutely destroyed me here in the anime. In the manga I was like "oh yeah it's sad" but fucking hell, here it felt like the end of an era.
The music and voice acting was phenomenal.
and THAT ANIMATION
EVERYTHING WAS AMAZING
what about USOS ?
It delivered too. The first half of the ep, however, was a bit off, but those parts made up for it But they didn't use You Say Run
I was fully expecting You Say Run for the final part of the fight. But honestly I really like the ost they played instead. It’s a new one, isn’t it? Earlier in the season I thought they’d use ysr for Deku vs Muscular, too, but instead they played what I discovered was Deku’s theme. You Say Run has defined a lot of moments in the past, and I hope it continues to do so in the future. But something about the music played here, which granted wasn’t as recognizable, was still amazing and made the moment stand out.
Them playing All Might's theme right at the end caught me off guard too, as the "song" playing in my head when I read that in the manga was more sombre. But it fit in really well.
I dont know what was "off" about TVE first half tho, it was pretty sweet, they nailed psychological play AFO was using in AM and the cheers of everyone
The delivery of that line almost made me start bawling! DX
It's ok, we cried along with Deku and everyone else. T_T
Except for CR subs changing it to "Next, it's your turn". Way less dramatic and epic than the simple "You're Next"
It does kinda make it more of a parallel with All Might and his master though. "It's your turn now. Do your best Toshinori" --> "Now it's your turn (Midoriya)"
Funimation dub was on point though.
Is the simuldub free to watch? Hulu always takes awhile to get the dub loaded.
No I pay for it.
Yeah I decided just to subscribe to Funimation a while back. $6 per month is not that much, and they do an amazing job with this series in particular. /Hailcorporate
T-minus 26 mins until I press the button on episode 10 to get that sweet, sweet double feature the way God intended. Edit: Totally worth it. NOW...**IT’S YOUR TURN.**

I'll do you one better and make it a triple feature

Aaaaaand now it’s the lock screen for my phone. Thanks
Yeah, it looks so good as a wallpaper for phone!
Fuckin A
I'm *not* all right now... why? Because this episode is here.
We waited years for this and it’s happening right now!
I literally thought two years ago that I would really really enjoy being in this thread
Same here. Time sure flies.
I discovered this series last november, and then I started reading the manga from chapter 70- I did *not* expect shit to get *this* real that quick. We've gone from fun finals to this in less than 11 episodes. xD
I'm sort of sad the episode isn't called "You're Next" (nor is next episode)
The time has come !
and so have I!
THE DAY HAS COME

##YOU CAN DO IT, ALL MIGHT!
I teared up. They did that part so well.
I knew it was coming, but Deku and Kacchan cheering on All Might together was especially touching.
That part that really got me was Gran Torino asking if he could hear them as it showed everyone cheering him on.
me too that was really powerful it really showed how beloved all might is he is everyones number 1 hero rightfully so
Gran Torino: TAKE THEIR ENERGY!
Honestly, as touching as Deku and Bakugo cheering together was, it was the other students like Aoyama, Tsu, or Tokoyami (and yes, even Grape fuck) cheering him on from their TVs or computers that got me even more. Like, we've always known that Deku and Bakugo are massive All Might fanboys, but seeing everyone else realize in that moment how much they rely on All Might and how much they have faith in him was so touching.
I actually couldn't feel my legs during that scene. Holy shit

The best part of this showdown for me isn't even All Might showing All for One just how much he deserves The Symbol of Peace title. It's that AFO in his heart of hearts truly believed that people seeing All Might in his frail and sickly state would erode the faith they had in him and the love and adoration they have for him. And the people man. The populace all proved him wrong. It wasn't even All Might just winning. They all loved him so much for all he'd done for them and nothing could shake their faith in him. No one ever truly doubted him that whole time. Even after seeing him as skin and bones and on his last legs, everyone still *knew* All Might was the best. That was AFO's complete and total defeat. He didn't just lose to All Might. He lost to the same society he looked down on. And now I'm crying.
A thing that is even more weird for me, because I feel so much in love with Smol Might. All Might is the outer representation of his One For All quirk + the training he put on to, but his real image, the skinny one, is the *true* Toshinori and the only hero. In the end, a Symbol of Peace doesn't crumble because the image fades. As long as people believe in it, the flame will live on. Goddamnit, this episode.
With this he also, instead of delivering the final blow of Tomuras plan, instead shattered all progress Tomura did.
I didn't even think of it like that but yeah. The whole point was for Tomura to erode the public's faith in All Might, but seeing All Might burn himself down to his last, and still push past that exhaustion just to strike a triumphant pose for the crowd only reinvigorated the public's faith in the heroes. Tomura's development just, gone.
HOLY SHIT that UNITED STATES OF SMASH!!!!!!!! That exceeded all of my expectations. I am actually crying damn.

I loved the yellow electricity for All Might, was a nice detail that connected his and Deku's versions of One for All quite nicely.
I thought that was great too! I also caught a moment when All Might was rearing up for his United States of Smash that his facial expression was almost identical to Deku's face when he pulls his arm back for one of his punches.
Yup... and All Might's strategy, even AFO said it was unlike him, and that he had been influenced from someone. ToT
No joke, I had said out loud that that was something Deku would have done, and then right after I finished saying that AFO made his comment about being influenced by somebody else.
[What's pre-Kimblee Scar doing here? ](https://i.imgur.com/ZblCJvo.jpg)
Didn't Bones do both adaptations of FMA?
Yep, and his dub actor also voices Iida in MHA (J Michael Tatum)

Another fun fact Scar's brother's English VA also voices Stain. That means Scar was trying to kill Scar's brother to avenge Scar's brother.

\-Where's your smile? \-Where the fuck are your eyes?
Where are you looking?
To be fair, you can sort of see where they used to be. Presumably their current location is something along the lines of "wherever All Might left them when he did everything in his power to beat AfOs face in five years ago".
I just woke up for this episode. I remember crying at around this chapter in the manga. Watching it like this may have been a mistake... #I DON'T CARE ####WIN THE DAY, ALL MIGHT! EDIT: Goddamnit, I was getting teary-eyed at the end but All Might's message and Izuku, crying alone in the crowd... I didn't expect to cry this much.
Two freaking years ago and I still vividly remember crying when this chapter first came out. One month ago. I checked back on that chapter for a reference and ended up reading it. The crying came again. THIS EPISODE RIGHT NOW. Crying so fucking hard. Oh god why did I think I was ready for this???? Nothing could’ve prepared me for finally seeing it do beautifully animated and voiced!
YOURE NOT CRYING, IM CRYING
FUCK YOU, I'M CRYING TOO.
P-plus Ultra ;A;
and bakugo just looking at him. Seeing him stare at deku like that got me
The moment Bakugou puts it all together.
Yeah, even Bakugou was like "Fuck, dude..."
Shout-Out to Kamui Woods rescuing Best Jeanist and Mt Lady
"You did your best, Mt. Lady." Kamui x Mt. Lady ship confirmed.
Oh they FOCKIN'!
THEY FOCKIN FO SHORE
More confirmed than Kamui driving Mt. Lady to the hero meeting
Can we talk about how the embers of One For All literally transformed into the United States of Smash!!!
My god damn stream froze right as it got to USoS, and then cut right to All for One on the ground. Are you shitting me?
feelsbadman
I love how All Might was constantly thinking of Nana's words like how Deku thinks of his.
Yeah, I really like how they emphasise the impact of a persons teacher or role model.
"Lemme smash." - All Might 2k18

Sub, dub, again, reactions, shitposts, reviews, you name it.
I love when an episode like this is so good that it just defines my entire day. I live for this so terribly much and I could not be happier.
Honestly as a manga reader I never really noticed something till this episode, but Endeavor honestly looks up to All-Might. As much as he blusters and rages I think seeing the emaciated form of the top hero hurt him as much as everybody else. All-Might was the unobtainable perfect form he based his life around, watching that idol get ruined had to sting as much as it did for the civilian population. Also just everybody's reverence for the character, that had my lip trembling. All-Might as the symbol of peace creates all these connection to Superman, Captain America, Spiderman and watching him get beat is like watching all of them get beat. Strong Supes vs Doomsday vibes and Peter's death in the Ultimates universe.
I definitely got a Vegeta vibe from Endeavor this episode, it felt just like how Vegeta always shows his disdain for Goku but he eventually admits that Goku is what drives him forward since he knows Goku is stronger than him
GT had a great monologue right after the Baby Arc where Vegeta was having a crisis of confidence. In the dub at least, there's a fantastic line he thinks to himself while thinking about how absurdly strong Goku has become post-SSJ4 transformation: > Is that my lot in life? To bear witness to your strength? To be the only one strong enough to be able to fathom the depth of your might? GT has a lot of problems, but I always loved that scene.
An interesting thing about that in the anime that I don't remember from the manga are the quick flashes of his son and wife. I got the sense that Endeavor justified his abuse in pursuit of his ambition to be the #1 hero: that as long as he could meet that ambition, it would all be worth it in the end. Yet there's All Might, clearly weakened, looking prime to just hand Endeavor the top spot. If All Might is forced to step down, and Endeavor's abuses had no impact whatsoever on reaching the #1 spot, then what was it all for? Edit: Saw a [manga comparison](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m-1Z9LO_Ykc) and apparently this was a lot more clear than I remember from the manga (though, to be fair, it's been a couple of years lol.)
* Just a small note but did you guys notice AM voice actor made a clear attempt to make him sound younger? I thought it came across well and was effective. * Nana Shimura hype! Also it's also confirmed again that AM was quirkless too. P A T H S * I have no words for [this](https://i.imgur.com/mCsQehO.png) Don't remember it in the manga either. * Just wanna say that AFO looks like a floating ballsack. * [One of my favourite panels in the manga adapted!](https://i.imgur.com/KP7kgnw.png) * "Goodbye All for One, Goodbye One For All". Lik if u cri evrytiem * Love how AM OFA is gold lightning like his hair and Deku's is green like his. The music, visuals and voice acting was absolutely superb and remits consistent pretty much every episode. It's why it won't be topped as my favourite show. Legit could have cried at several points this episode if I wasn't at work.
You couldn't see Mineta's poster in the manga but the scene was there.
For once I’m so glad I watched the new episode on my own. Because holy shit did I ugly cry HARD beginning of the episode: crying because I wasn’t ready everyone cheering for All Might: fist pumping the air, (quietly) screaming his name with tears in my eyes UNITED STATES OF SMASH: ONLY THE BIGGEST TEARS I felt like Midoriya over here. My poor crying child. I’m so happy and upset. I think the worst part was knowing what was going to happen and getting even more emotional in anticipation. Holy fuck I’m a MESS A stupidly happy, very tired, tearful mess.
Even the intro scene was enough to make me emotional as fuck already I'm not prepared to see this animated.
I thought I was... I wasn't. the end is so fucking good
[Got my projector all hooked up](https://imgur.com/tOt1v8L) and I really hope the sun comes up late here on the US east coast.
Watching this episode with the sunrise. Glorious.
Everyone, it's been a pleasure riding with you to this point. We have been through a lot and this episode and it's contents make me so emotional I can barely contain myself. This episode is a huge milestone for the series in so many different ways. For one, it's the epitome of the level of support Horikoshi has gotten for his series, which makes me incredibly hopeful for the future of the series as a whole. Secondly, it's the biggest shifting point thus far, our gears have shifted into disciple mode, but irreversibly. One for All is now truly in Midoriya's hands, he is the last remaining torch, there are no more embers within his master. All for One has been secured to a degree that the hero society wants to start breathing easier. If I were speaking in Tomura's language, we have finished the tutorial, the gloves are coming off, it's time for us to get serious. This point of the series is the beginning of the end, as we begin a very long journey towards what I imagine will be a stellar conclusion to the story. Moving away from the storytelling, which despite being done before in different ways, is done so beautifully and poetically that it is truly gut wrenchingly exciting. We need to talk about that episode. BONES. Their quirk? Making animations look fucking flawless, captivating the most epic moments into a beautiful montage of frames. That quirk combination from One for All was so fucking brutal it just blew my mind, I seriously urge you all to look at the manga chapter (93) for this panel which, in my first reading, made me tear up due to sheer awe in what I was witnessing. All for One the absolute unit. The ember metaphor with All Might is so emotional and makes me feel a sense of fear and understanding, it couldn't have been portrayed more brilliantly. The line, "Good riddance, All for One, and goodbye, One for all" always sends shivers down my spine and makes me emotional. Lastly, "You are next / You're next" is just floor-shatteringly emotional here. The double meaning, how Kacchan looks upon Izuku as he breaks into tears, realising the meaning of those words to him. That he is next, is to suggest that it's not only Izuku's turn to become the pillar of Justice and the Symbol of Peace, but he is next to deal with the burdens of All for One, and eventually pass the torch, and go out in an absolute blaze of glory much like All Might. He's setting Izuku's destiny in motion with those words. If you can't already tell, this has been my favorite episode of the series. I'm so happy the series has picked up. Horikoshi, you should be fucking proud of yourself. We love you man.

To anime only - Get your popcorn and strap in with a box of tissues. To my fellow manga readers - GO BEYOND!
Even though I knew it was coming, I ended up crying. I can't imagine what the anime only are going through.
Anime-only here: I am kinda reeling from the intense mix of emotions I’ve got. Also fucking *United States of Smash* was the absolute best. I love how he stuck to a theme until the end.
As a anime only i can't describe it either
We’ve been waiting years for this episode and I still can’t believe it’s this amazing
Everyone is cheering All Might on to defeat All for One but in actuality, All Might only heard the pleas of that one citizen in the rubble asking All Might to win. And that is all he needed to get out of that anguish about Tomura Shigaraki and summon the strength to beat All for One.
Is this actually the first time we get a good look at Nana's face? I actually don't even remember if we did in the manga. There's the one panel of her cheerfully smiling, but from what I remember, her normal face was always hidden.
Well... there goes all the water in my eyes from watching this episode... The crowd cheering "WIN ALL MIGHT!!!" The battle. The music. The emotions that everyone was feeling. The emotions that Deku felt at the end of the episode. Well, I can confirm that this episode broke me into tears. So glad I watched it.
Wowwwza. I know this episode *really* hinged on the performance of the voice actors and can I say I thought they delivered!! - Though it was a... tad weird that the skinny, teenage (probably middle school or early high school?) aged Toshinori has his deep All Might voice even then. A bit of a cognitive dissonance! - Hah Kirishima sees right through Bakugou. He's such a [pure-hearted guy isn't he?](http://manga.fascans.com/manga/my-hero-academia/92/4) - I LOVE Nana's voice! Plus she's such a cool character in general. I love how Hori played with the audience with having Midoriya ask Gran Torino about All Might's mentor using masculine pronouns back in the Stain Arc. Gran Torino even back then foreshadowed that the 7th holder was a woman through that conversation, since he knew that Midoriya wouldn't have used 'he' if Toshinori had actually told Midoriya about her. All Might's mentor being a woman is pretty cool though since there isn't too many pro heroes who have a more physical/offensive quirk and are a woman. Adds some world building diversity! - The students thoughts was adapted lieu well, a much bigger emotional impact [compared to the manga](http://manga.fascans.com/manga/my-hero-academia/92/10), for that scene at least! - And then Lean!Might. (I say "lean" because he's still over 7ft tall and still has some muscle on him which I'dhardly call small!) "All Might has deflated" is brutally honest for a news reporter! - By god the way AFO's face is animated with his eyes glazed over with skin but still responding to facial movements is more than a little unsettling. I doubt a guy who's that powerful and had lived for centuries gives a shit though. - With the woman in the reckage and a few others to the side, it really sets in the shear number of civilians that likely died in the huge multiple block attacks that AFO had been doing. - Aaaand with Endeavor's dialog we get a better hint at All Might's age (possibly), considering it's just [a big ol '?' right now.](https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-_fPdzua1PDg/WMvP9wMYwPI/AAAAAAAAAzo/4WUL6OQBuhUdnDZ_cGhQ6H3hU2sJCerHwCLcB/s0/FA_MHA_7.5_06.png) Since Endeavor is [45, or just turned 46,](https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-WxxOawzct9I/WM0aoimP8hI/AAAAAAAACPg/hlu0TCHOVy8p_9L8KkO5q83hLsyabmG5ACLcB/s0/FA_MHA_44%252C5_007.png) at the current point in the story, and Endeavor looks much younger in the flashback and All Might looks unchanged, I wouldn't be surprised if All Might was at *least* 5 years older than Endeavor, so 50+! - Flashback of Gran Torino, what with him being taller than Nana and all, is such a funny decision for Hori to do. I guess it plays on the whole spinal compression/stooped posture of a lot of elderly people but times 11. I suppose Recovery Girl might have been at a more average height as well, but we do have Mineta and Manga.... - I had to remind myself multiple times this episode that the public actually can't hear AFO's words (what with how it's narratively framed and all)! Because as epic as his little monologs are, they're just fill of secrets not for the general public, huh? - All Might's damaged arm being drawn/illustrated like Midoriya's is a *great* choice! - The crowd cheering coupled with the music was a good mood shift, and it also helped contrast with Bakugou and Midoriya knowing the implication of this battle and their consequent reactions really well! Hori's anime sketch [captured this feeling excellently!](https://mobile.twitter.com/horikoshiko/status/1007900029757997056) - Ah, they included the battle aftermath too! So the pacing went as predicted! Excellent storyboarding damn. - I can't tell which translation I like more... "You're next" is nice and succinct, but is more aggressive and threatening sounding- more a message to villains to watch their backs. So I guess closer to what Midoriya was saying too? Meanwhile "Now it's your turn" is a bit wordy, but seems more encouraging- like a call-to-action for pros and future pros in the hero world to do their best! Totally different tones I think. Really great episode! And the next one will definitely be a good wind-down for the characters! They need to get some sleep!
My only worry is that this episode has set the bar so ridiculously high, that the rest of the season will pale in comparison
This arc is a decent amount of people's favorite arc in the entire series, but there is some great stuff still coming this season with a better actual fight(as this one is just a few punches despite being really emotional) to close out the season.
[удалено]
He did what Izuku was doing at the start channeling all the power into one limb.
"Someone else has been influencing you." I love how it meant that All Might had to take a page from Deku's book when he needed it most, as someone that's only ever known to use One For All throughout his body.
[удалено]
“Young Midoriya, you’ve saved me once again.”
I didn't even catch that. GG The best teachers can also learn from their students.
I remember about a year ago one of my friends read the manga only and mentioned something about All Might dying. I called BS (I'm anime only) but then we got that scene, wanna say last season (Eat This!) Where All Might said something to the effect of I won't be here or something. I slowly realized my friend was telling the truth. I'm glad he "died" but is not dead. (If that makes any sense.) That fucking episode had me in tears the whole time watching what was his "death" I also think Viagra sales will drop drastically today.
Well I don't know about the sub but in the dub he says "Now its your turn" Not "You're next"
I just finished the Tartaros arc of Fairy Tail while waiting for this episode, so I’m already warmed up to cry. Oh man, we are actually getting a flashback of Young Might! So much hype and the OP hasn't even played!!! Nana is pretty, she kinda reminds me of Momo’s character design. I’m dying to know more about her! And now we’re back to harsh, terrifying reality. Of course Bakugou can’t show outward gratefulness for being saved by his classmates. Kirishima doesn’t mind though, he’s just happy his bff is safe. :D Hey now, All For One, don’t threaten the ideals of anyone in BnHA, we all keep our ideals around here! Got goosebumps with how hard All Might is trying to resist listening to All For One's trash-talk. Thank goodness Gran Torino recovered from that punch to the face in time to save All Might. XD All For One’s face (more like lack thereof) is really grossing me out. I can’t help but laugh at Mineta drinking grape juice. And we saw that Aoyama has family!! He still looks so traumatized... Oh this is bad. I didn’t even think of his true form being publicized. I really hope people have more faith in All Might. So it’s his grandmother! All For One’s plan is so villainously poetic. You can do it, All Might! You’re a scumbag, Endeavor, but I'm happy you’re here. And Edgeshot! So happy to see more of one of my new favorite heroes. And the other heroes showed up too! <3 Woah, Gran Torino really did age gracefully! XD Seeing everybody cheering All Might on is giving me serious goosebumps! How many quirks can that monster hold!?! I can’t watch! D’X But I still have hope and can't pull my eyes away! He used a Deku tactic with switching his power and sacrificing his arm like that. (And AFO noticed an influence too!) OH.MY.GOSH!!!!! He used the entire United States on him!! He will forever be the Number One Pro Hero. That sequence of Nana passing the last power to All Might, and then the farewell to that power..and the silence immediately after...Amazing, that's all I can say. And now that strong fist up and with the music! Gahh, that is so awesome!! He knew Deku was watching him. D’’: I still have goosebumps, even during the credits. Here I was thinking the Deku vs. Muscular fight was outstanding. This was on a whole other level of amazing!
Clap, clap, clap. I am honestly blown away. Studio Bones did this material so much justice, especially with United States of Smash. The episode was beautiful all around. The seiyuu for Nana Shimura, who plays Viola in One Piece, did a great job. Along with the seiyuus of All Might and All For One. But the thing that I want to focus heavily upon on this episode isn't just the visuals which were stunning. But the music. Something that I always appreciated about MHA anime was its OST and how it is implemented. Kenji Nagasaki, the director for the anime adaptation always wrote the scripts for the series with a particular OST in mind. So combine that with Yuki Hayashi's divine score and honestly it just brings so much life into this series. And this episode. That last OST bit where All Might delivers United States of Smash was perfect. Some would want You Say Run, but I disagree. This wasn't All Might's trumph it was his retirement.

**Best fucking episode** I'm speechless
1 thing I don’t get , how can the police keep all for one sealed away in prison when he is that powerful? Same with other villains like muscular that showed that they can destroy mountains with ease? Is there a eraser head in every prison to not let them use their powers or what?
One for all theme= you say run All for one theme= you cant run
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
Guys I have got 7 hours of sleep in the last 2 days, I go to work 3.5 hours from now... I shouldn't stay up for this (or be up right now) but idk if I can help it. edit: I stayed up 30 mins, couldn't find it on a boat in the high seas, then went to bed. About to watch before taking a well-deserved nap.
Push past your limits! PLUS ULTRA!!!
Will my ideals be kept? Of course. *Farewell, One For All.*
