    Let's leave all comments about subs or dubs here so the rest of the comment section doesn't get toxic.
    I thought both Sub and Dub were good, which is getting rarer nowadays which is why I wanted to showcase the dub.

    honestly when Uraraka fought Bakugou, I started out "We know where this is going", then goes to " No, don't tell me" when she figured out a strategy, and teared up when Bakugou just rips all of that work as simply as that. It was an emotional roller coaster
    it didn't say Bakugou is that more powerful than Uraraka, it tells a story of how Bakugou never underestimate his opponents and how people with even the simpler quirks can win against really strong ones if their opponent let their guard down even abit. Ngl, it was the first time I realized : it's not the ending that matters, it's the journey. Because those end up telling more about the story

      It makes sense here, they are meant to show off their abilities while competing with each other, the only reason they can go so far with the fights is because they have an amazing nurse in the school, but even then, if they go too far, like in Deku vs Todoroki, they will stop them

      Yeah, and it worked out so well that none of them had any sort sequelae, like a crippled hand or sth XD. Joking aside, it's not because you get healed that you don't go through high level of pain.

      For me all 3 of them combined make the main protagonist, coz each of them needs to learn from each other before they can even attempt at being NO1. Midoriya can teach them heart. Todoroki show them the business. Katuski can teach them the drive. To success they will all need heart, drive and understanding of the hero business.

The scene was made to fit the sound track, as you can actually hear the entire track from start to finish with no cuts. This is most notable during the fight of all might vs noumu and midoriya vs todoroki. Even after that fact, the whole thing just as impressive.

Naruto later had Iruka supporting him but for Gaara the person who took care of him and really cared for him, his Uncle , was forced to kill him by his own father. Basically both Jinchurikiis had a sad life while its true that Lee also had a tough life but that was not that tough compared to Gaara and Naruto.

It shows how well thought this arc was because even tho the main focus there was Uraraka, both of the characters grew and shined through without taking away the spotlight from each other 🙏

      Going into it I was scared as hell to see best girl uraraka going in against the most ferocious fighter in the show, but during the fight I realized that there was no reason to worry because Uraraka is not there just to be a love interest and has her own strengths and motivations. It’s one of my favorite fights ever, because the characterization that goes into it is insane. We gain respect for both parties and a deeper understanding of a formerly somewhat superficial character. Hands down one of my favorite fights of the year (though it doesn’t come close to Deku vs Todoroki)

  • @Uploaded1995

    For the people saying that the fights in this Tournament Arc are too short, I would point you to pretty much every other fight before them. Looking at the hype fight between All Might and Nomu, if you break it down to the actual fighting then that is roughly 5 minutes at a stretch. This series just doesn't have very long fights, it's not like Dragonball Z or Naruto was with long drawn out battles and tons of dialogue; My Hero Academia quite obviously has more of a style that leans towards the short and explosive/entertaining battles. When you look at the format at the tournament (the rules of the 1v1) and the source of power for the different characters (their Quirks), plus the fights that have come before them, it really shouldn't be surprising you that they would be short bursts of action.

      It’s not that they are so short but there is no build up to most of them: they are just hastily slapped back to back. Also there is a a lot of bulshit like how Deku got saved by an asspull, the attacks have no power to them. Deku hit Todoroki with a “smash” and he somehow survived? Or how doesn’t anybody get burnt by Bakugo’s flames. Do characters have super human armor or recover faster? Some of the drama bits were well done though, Todoroki and Uraraka in particular. Dark Tournament >>> MHA Tournament

Hell, New Japan Pro Wrestling (technically not anime but still) does annual tournament arcs with the G1 Climax, and they never feel redundant or boring because even if a lot of the same characters come back, 1) They're not the same people they were last time because they've changed and evolved (and, in the case of longtime veterans, even possibly degraded) over the past year and 2) Certain matchups that didn't happen in a previous tournament can happen in a new one, so there's still the possibility for fresh action.

    My hero academia is the best generic shonen anime there is atm. Everything is basic and pretty simple. Characters motivations and goals, main theme, quirks and so on is stuff we've all seen times and times again. I love that the main character is the most generic naive do-gooder of them all with literally the most generic power there is (raw physical strength). Yet because of the simplicity of it all and the way different points of view and ideas clash organically it feels so damn relatable. You cannot possibly watch this anime and feel unsatisfied at the end of every episode even if you know full well from the start (saving some minor plot twists) what is going to happen.

I am honestly in love with the buildup music. the fast guitar arpeggio superimposing over the rhymic staccato really draws me in. it's extremely well made and i have the quirk of judging animes by their OP (if the song is boring so will be the anime because it's the same editor looking over both most of the time) so this just adds on my fondness for this anime.

    BROOOO THE WORLD TRIGGER TOURNAMENT ARC IS PEAK. TEAM FIGHTS, CHARACTER DEVELOPMENT, HYPE, SEEING EVERYONES DIFFERENT TECHNIQUES, UNDERDOG STORY, AND EVERYTHING ELSE YOU COULD THINK ABOUT. although its not 1v1 id say its perfect, you should give it a watch (also the fact that world triggers power system is #1 in my opinion). Also, even tho world trigger has one of the LARGEST amount of characters, the author is somehow capable of giving each and every single one of them powers, abilities, and tactics that work perfectly for each team, plus every character has their own personality, motives, goles, relationships ect that just make the show feel alive like no other show ive ever watched. Trust me, you will never watcg a show that makes you care as much about a side side character more than world trigger will.

      knowing about anime doesn't mean you can make a good one. That's why people dreaming to be writers/comic artists often decide to become editors: they are good at recognising good works, but can't make them. On the contrary, a pro writer or mangaka is most likely able to be a good editor as well.

      Even though I suppose I'm not far enough into the full story to say for sure (since the anime is far behind the manga, as it should be), it seems to be a Deconstruction-Reconstruction of the idea of Superheroes, similar to the incredibles in that regard, now that I think about it:
      "And if everyone is super... no one is"
      So Acedamia tries to put that theory to the test, in a sense. And while it points out the flaws in the system, in the end, it also brings us back to the original idea of a hero.

      Stain is a completely terrible person, but his ideology, though twisted, was proven to work, because the areas he had hit actually had a drop in the crime rate in them, so he has evidence that his way works.
      It's in this way that whether a simple character or not, he escapes the idea of a typical villain.

    Wow, I'm positively surprised and pleased. Boku No Hero Academia's dub doesn't sound bad at all. Maybe I should try watching it.
    With animes I usually prefer the original Japanese versions because in them the makers (most of the time) really invest in the voice acting and it's (usually) high-quality and tolerable. In dubs I've noticed it isn't so nearly as often. But I appreciate a good dub and I don't dismiss a dub just because it's a dub. If an anime has poor voice acting but the dub of it doesn't obviously I watch the dub because they did better work with it. So if people here insult My Hero Academia's dub just because it's a dub they should stop and listen. Deku's voice actor is good and so are the other characters' and I can really respect that. Can you?

    Oh man, your commentary fits so well with the OST as well as the OPs fit so much with the visuals of the anime

    Guys, I think we figured out why Bleach sucked.
    Didn't have a Tournament arc.

      Fyrma I dont think it sucked but thats your opinion. But I disagree about it not having a tournament arc. The whole retrieval and arrancar arc were tournament arc as the consisted in 90% of 1 v 1 matches.

      Bleach sucked past the first arc. It didn't know where it was going, vampire arc was horrible, I agreed with the vampires more than I did the good guys, vampires weren't fleshed out enough, saving orohime arc was okay because it was one fight after the other, like a tournament, but character had no development past their one fight and would never be seen again so who cares.
      I gave up when the princess filler arc started, because I realized the show was wasting a tonne of time and kept you hooked by giving you a glimpse of an interesting character(ichigo's dad) and then ignoring them until way later.

      Fyrma What would a tournament arc in Bleach even look like? I doubt the Soul Society, who is a major stick in the mud, would do a tournament to see who's the best Soul Reaper and I don't see them solving the living world's fate with the Arrancar over a tournament. Guess the Fake Karakura arc is the closest we got to a tournament arc with a battle royale type setting.

      I like how the first reply took this comment serious. Like anyone would believe one arc would make Bleach good

    You like the dub? I see you're a man of culture, Gigguk.

      Because he's at least open minded and is more willing to give unbiased judgement, unlike others in the anime community obsessing over everything Japanese without knowing a lick of it.
