Alex: You've only got ten fingers.
Deku: BUT WHAT IF I BREAK THEM TWICE???
And that's the story of how I became the greatest hero of all time
“...i’m so pissed..... ddu dudud dudud wowowowo”
😂 “i feel better”
The reason why Todoroki is considered really strong cause his power balances out the consequences of his quirk. If he uses his ice ability too much he gives himself frostbite but he can counter that by warming himself up. And if he uses his fire too much he overheats and burns himself which he can counteract with his ice side. Making him almost unstoppable
yea he's one of the only people we really see in the series that has no real downside to their quirk once they master using it.
@@Dell-ol6hb I'm anime only but I bet either mc will be super op obviously or todoroki just gets nerfed somehow someway
@@khalid2733 not really cuz even tho todoroki has the perfect quirk it's still nowhere near the capabilities of ofa ofa literally turns the user into a demigod once they master it, not even top heroes of other countries can even be compared to ofas strength. (Demigod is just an analogy they don't literally become a demigod)
On top of that you have to consider the fact that Endeavor became the number 2 hero despite the weaknesses of that fire. Todoroki can potentially have that fire with no weaknesses as well as his ice which seems to be just as potentially powerful. He has such insane potential to completely outstrip his father.
@@sidharthakarsh5833 exactly, gives them enough strength where they produce residual shockwaves the size of city blocks by flicking their fingers at that force. We’ve seen all might, who is weaker than in his prime, punch some hard that he destroys sections of the city with just the wind pressure of his punches. While Half cold half hot is powerful in its own right, with no clear draw back, OFA is just on another level
"Todoroki is underestimating him"
*Camera pans to child with more hairline fractures than hair strands.*
"IT'S YOURS! YOUR QUIRK, NOT HIS!" this moment always gives me the feels.
That and then when Todoroki erupts I usually tear up when I see it. I always get chills.
I prefer "It's _your_ power isn't it?!"
@@Deathclaw-lh5tl I prefer the dub line because of the focus on it also not being endeavor's quirk, which is something Shoto seems to focus on
Horikoshi (the author) said he was in tears after he saw this episode animated
That must have meant a lot to those who worked on the series
Do you have the interview?
@@jm329 I think it was a commentary on the Shonen Magazine, they often leave a comment weekly on something.
“I’m so pissed 😤”
Literally a few seconds later...
“Doodoodoo Doodoodoo Doodoodoo Woah Woah Woah”
*angry doo-doo-doos*
@@qrowing as a lactose intolerant cheese lover I really felt those angry doo-doo’s
It's funny because the song was actually going "daadaadaa" when he was saying that. He got the verses mixed up lol
hahahahaha that fkin killed me
Small detail, but when todoroki peaked into the room where his mom is Boling the water while on the phone, the half of his face that looks like his mother was covered by the door, and only the "endeavor" side of his face was visible, which is probably a big reason why she was so terrified when she turned around and saw him.
Nice catch! I've watched that scene plenty, but I never noticed that subtle detail. Horikoshi is a true artist.
Lately I've been seeing so many people using "peak" instead of "peek" and it's driving me crazy lol
@@CloudCollapse Well that’s life your gonna have to deal with it their are a lot of people who make a lot of mistakes
Edit: I typed this to be a funny guy but now I’m just mad at myself for using improper grammar
I LOVE ALL THE ATLA REFERENCES LMAO
Todoroki is really "not Zuko" hahahaha 😂
Yo! By way of a little update, I am currently traveling so things might be a little weird(er) from time to time in videos.
Don't worry! My fruit companions are traveling with me, they are just not currently assembled (I'm sure everyone was very worried about that)
Alright man :)
(i was very worried about that)
Oh thank God, I was very worried about that.
I was just about to inquire as to the well-being of the fruits friends!
I was just about to ask about them! It felt so weird not seeing them lol
I think it really was a powermove on Horikoshi's part to decide to let Deku lose, and so early in the tournament at that! Definitely took me by surprise back when this arc was published in Shonen Jump.
Yeah I regret making my bracket based on story expectations! I should have at least done 2 with the other one based on power.
Spoiler for the rest of the tournament
The best thing Horikoshi did with this tournament is that there was no real winner. Deku could have won if he only focused on winning rather than helping Todoroki. Then Bakugou only wins because Todoroki didnt go all out. Every fan of the show before the tournament always had those three as the definite strongest in the class. By making none look like the absolute best it keeps giving the characters more room to grow as the story progresses and in a way tells the fans it doesnt matter in the long run who the strongest is.
@@Vichingo23 I hate when people say that. Bakugo did not win only because Todoroki didn't go all out, Bakugo had already won anyway. Explosions are ridiculously good at putting out fires you know, even if Todoroki had fully mastered both of his sides (which he definitely did not do at that point) it would still have made sense for him to use only his ice side against Bakugo. If ice doesn't work against explosions, fire most definitely won't do the trick. Especially in that situation where Bakugo had already unleashed his ultimate move anyway, there's no amount of fire that could have stopped Bakugo at that point, Todoroki would have been much better off trying an ice shield again.
And this why the fandom gave deku the nickname "deku the madman."
Well deserved
In season 4 someone recognizes Midoria from the tournament and the context is not "oh he failed in the second match" the context is "I do not want to fight that dude, did you see what he did"
@o - true it is in deed a gentle reminder
@o - but the experience wasn’t gentlemen like from dekus part
Deku, "The Absolute Madman" :)
Am i the only one who really wants a goodwin series of just him teaching us life lessons and philosophy? I can probably listen to it all day tbh
I know. The man has high emotional I.Q.
I want him to be my therapist 😩
I am thinking about trying a podcast in the not too distant future... alternatively extra videos that are more Q&A based maybe...
@@AGoodwinTV a Q&A type of video would be a cool way to interact more with supporters and with fans
@@AGoodwinTV Have you considered doing on of those "teacher reacts to ____________________" videos? with Overly Sarcastic or "History of the entire world I guess" filling in the blank
This episode is called Shoto Todoroki Origin because THIS episode, THIS fight, and THIS argument with Deku is his starting line to being a real hero and not what his father wants him to be. Its Todoroki's origin story. This is the moment Shoto starts to put his past behind him and begin being who he truly wants, and yes Deku lost this fight, thats not gonna change, he was knocked out of the ring and unconscious while Todoroki put a ice shell around himself to protect him from the blow back. Thats not what matters, what matters is what All Might said even if you cut it out;
"Young Midioriya, dont tell me youre trying to SAVE Todoroki."
Thats exactly what happened, Deku wasnt trying to win the fight, well he was but not as much as he shouldve been, he was trying to help his classmate realize a truth that he desperately needed to hear. He was trying to save Todoroki from himself.
So in a way while he might of lost his chace to win the tournament he won the philosophical battle that the two were having.
Deku is someone who had no expectations for him most of his life because he was quirkless until All Might gave him the power to stand among all the other hero candidates and now has the expectations of his family, friends, and mentor on his shoulders while at the same time not able to use all of his power because he is currently physically unable too.
Todoroki is someone who has had EVERY expectation laid down on his shoulders from day 1, he was the succesful offspring to Endeavor's selective breeding and has a power that is one of the strongest to currently exist in the show, but Todoroki refuses to give it his all because of a principle of rejecting the man who would be his mentor. This infuriates Deku in the first half of the fight, hence his yelling at Todoroki. Everyone else in the tournament is giving it their all to be there and win, and so it rightly pisses Deku off that Todoroki is trying to in a sense half-ass this by using half his strength to win. Todoroki comes to realize that Deku is right after Deku hits him a bit and yells at him some more that its enough to jog some of his memories about All Might stating that quirks are genetic but that its still up to the individual to decide how to use them and his mother reinforced the statement. If you go back and look closely a when Todoroki and Deku are smiling at each other after the flames start, Todoroki is actually crying. He has tears in his left eye.
Thanks for this. I am a little bit sad that this message by Goodwin going lost
Same 😂
So far no reactor noticed Shoto’s tear 😭
"...he was trying to help his classmate realize a truth that he desperately needed to hear. He was trying to save Todoroki from himself."
Goodwin did say that Todoroki basically came to Deku with a cry for help. And being the hero that he is, Deku just couldn't ignore it. ❤️
“Shoto Todoroki: Origin”
Still have goosebumps reading that, this is the beginning of his story and is all thanks to Deku.
The fact that they saved it for the very end of the episode.. It makes it mean so much more.
@@qrowing Same chills as "My Hero"
@@F4Jd Knock it off, dude! 2-3 years in, and that still makes me bawl like a baby!
Endeavor’s care is misplaced .. it’s on shoto’s powers and not shoto the person. he calls him his masterpiece and not his son and shoto’s mother’s actions though definitely being wrong were a spur of the moment retaliation to the abuse she has faced.. in fact you will notice that shoto was peeking in from his left side and the very moment she felt the disgust towards endeavor she saw that side of shoto looking at her
Deku may have lost the battle but he won the war by breaking through Todoroki's emotional walls. Deku also was somewhat insulted by Todoroki essentially trying to win while limiting himself while everyone is giving it their all would seem like a hollow victory.
"I'm so pissed" *Some do do dooos later* "I feel better" 😂
I was thinking the ED will make him feel better haha
I always feel better after a good Doodoo
They both won, deku got what he wanted going into the match. He could have won if todoroki just used ice, but he wanted to save todoroki from his self. Shoto won because he finally took a step towards living his life for his self and not simply to get revenge on endeavor. Great episode. 👍🏻
Abusive father who has fire power, depressed mother, child with burn mark in his left eye. Hmmm I think I've seen this somewhere before :/
It feels vaguely familiar.......
I think his name starts with "awkward theatre kid" 🤔
ah yes my life story🙃
oh u meant zuko?? oh gotcha lol
I think the scar was at the right
@@niop159 “THE SCAR IS NOT ON THE WRONG SIDE”
here is where we truly find out that deku is an absolute madman
Something to keep in mind with the Todoroki family drama is to pay attention to the family dynamics. The Todoroki family members each embody different archetypical roles within a dysfunctional family, with different ways of handling trauma and how they respond to it. For example, Shoto’s emotional coldness and standoffishness is a known side effect of long term exposure to domestic violence in dysfunctional families. Even intrusive thoughts that he himself calls out as “why am I thinking about this all of a sudden?”, a classic PTSD sign, as are memory problems in general which he alludes to this very episode.
It’s those dynamics that make it one of the more accurate depictions of a dysfunctional family I’ve ever seen.
I loved your insight on Endeavor. There’s a lot more going on in the Todoroki family than shown here as this is only Shouto’s side of the story. While Endeavor is pretty much the “villain” in Shouto’s eyes here, expect some nuance and grey area down the line.
Also Deku essentially gave up his shot at winning because helping Todoroki ended up being more important to him.
I know you probably know already but when endeavor says "i put her in a hospital to keep you safe" he put her in a MENTAL hospital. Ive seen so many reactors default to assuming he beat the shit out of her or something. Ultimately (even though he was the primary cause of the whole ordeal) i think he made a good decision on doing so. It helps get her away from him and helps heal all the emotional scars in the long run.
Endeavor and the entire todoroki family are 100% the most complex, interesting, and entertaining story of all of mha. So much so that it is still having impacts in the story today.
I think that was intentional, though. Chances are very good that he absolutely DID beat the shit out of her before he put her there.
If anything, the implication is way worse: If she went to a hospital for her injuries, everyone would know about his monstrous behavior. But by putting her in the _mental ward,_ she can't ruin his pristine reputation of being the Number Two Hero (because no one would believe her).
@@theanafront3746 It might have been intentional by the translator but the original Japanese clearly states he sent her to a mental hospital from the start. Beating her up would have been pointless and Endeavor is always nothing but practical, even when he's abusive. And I'm not saying this because of his redemption later on here, I'm saying that even at his worst, Endeavor is not the kind of guy who'd beat up someone in anger, no matter if it's his wife or even some random villain. No Endeavor would beat up someone if he thinks he would gain something from doing it.
An interesting aspect between Todoroki and his mother, first he doesn’t blame his mom for the injury. She had a mental break down and saw Todoroki as his dad who had abused her. Endeavor may be a great hero, but he’s a pretty s**tty husband and dad. (And by the way, the hospital he put her in was a mental hospital because of what she did, he didn’t beat her up for it though I understand why people jump to that conclusion.) But he said the only memories he recalled of her were of her crying and the moment of the injury. As his resentment of his dad festered, he focused in on only negative memories. But as the fight progressed and Midoriya did that thing he does when he sees someone suffering, he began remembering a ton of positive memories. The best line: “I didn’t realize just how much I’d forgotten.” I also noticed, he can’t remember his mother’s eyes, except for her frightened and freaked out expression that day.
"I'm so pissed 😤" immediately after "doo do doo doo do doo" lmao
I read this comment and it didn't prepare me for how PERFECT this moment was
A lot of people don’t realize this but, since Shoto is so resilient to fire he didn’t actually get his scar from the boiling water. It’s a frostbite scar. His mother realized what she did and tried to heal him with her quirk but caused the opposite to happen.
"it's okay to use your power, to become who you want to be"
I'm not crying, you're crying. 🥺
I can’t say enough how awesome it is that you analyze so much even for a show that gets hated on a lot for being “generic”. Might I suggest watching Jujutsu Kaisen after you catch up to AOT.
I just finished Jujutsu Kaisen 3 days ago and I'm still mad that I have no more episodes for a while.
Walking around feeling all lost. Even though I have other things to watch. Nothing is good enough to replace it right now. lol
@@Rainefaelyn yeah i call that the post jjk depression, it just hits, _hard_
I think no one's really pointed out before that Rei's eyes when she looked at shoto before she burned him were very similar to how endeavor's eyes are usually drawn
You're right! Nice catch, and a really neat choice on Horikoshi's end.
A thing that was in the manga, that wasn't in the anime adaptation, is that after pouring the water, Todoroki's mother immediately put her ice on his eye (her quirk), very scared of what she had done.
So, the thing is: you do NOT put ice on burns. So... yeah.
Oh noooo😨
That is interesting and does add something to the scene
This is revealed much later on in the manga, so it's not an omission by the anime. It's not really spoilers, but it will probably be shown later in the anime. It should be late S5 I believe
of course she is not trained in first aid and did what seemed the best way to fix things in the middle of a nervous breakdown
Ah yes, my favourite character, Todoroki... Enji (Endeavor)
He's an abusive, awful, obsessive person by this point in the story, but his writing is some of the best in the series. I think a lot of people misunderstand the nature of abuse when it comes to this character.
And later on we do see the reason/event that made Endeavor like this, the same event that worsened Shouto's mom's trauma - a lot of which was absolutely worsened by Endeavor.
I think the arc Todoroki (Shouto, the son) goes on, understanding that he can exist not in spite of Endeavor, but as himself, releasing himself from Endeavor's control, is truly amazing. I think Endeavor doesn't deserve forgiveness from the family he hurt. I think the story knows that. And I think that's what makes the writing so nuanced.
And thus, the greatest high-five in anime history.
Todoroki holding up his fire hand, fingers spread, Midoriya reaching out with an open palm smash.
If only Cementoss hadn't gotten in the way, they would have connected, and likely killed each other.
Hell of a way to go out
One thing worth mentioning is that the English dub makes subtle but significant changes to Endeavor's language, making him more overtly villainous.
In English his language is always focused on himself "She hurt My masterpiece/You are Fulfilling my wishes" whereas in Japanese its focused on Shoto "She hurt You/You are Accepting your destiny".
tbf, Endeavor also calls Shoto a _thing_ in the sub so..... idk
I feel like you downplayed the PTSD endeavor put on Todoroki and his mom. i mean he was trying to make a 6 year old kid into his weapon. that is straight up child abuse and you bairly focused on how fucked that is and instead talked about how todiroky's abuser did that out of love.
She said that Shoto’s left side reminded her of Endeavor and in the flashback you can see she can only see Shoto’s left side because of the door so thats why she was scared and instinctively threw hot water at him but at the end of the day it’s the parents’ fault. Not Endeavor, not the mother but both of them.
Thank you, finally someone gets it. People blame only Endeavor for it, but in truth, both of them are too be blamed for it.
his mom threw that water on him because she is unstable.. and part of the reason she's become so desperate and even scary is what she had to tolerate his father, who obviously abused her physically and emotionally. Domestic violence can really destroy a person, so I disagree with you there. Yes, the mother did throw that water on todoroki, and she is responsible for it, but his father definitely did have something to do with this as well... but this is just me.
p.s. I don't know if I articulated this correctly.. it's 4 am and sleep deprivation is giving me brain damage 😭 I hope I made sense..
I think we're pretty much in agreement. It's just that the way I think, I think it's not the total truth to say Endeavor made her throw water on Todoroki. He was abusive, a terrible father, the list goes on, but ultimately she did that, as hard as that is to stomach.
@@AGoodwinTV yeah ultimately it was her decision at the end.
True but as terrified as she was of endeavor, she probably genuinely could only see him whenever she looked at todoroki
There's no indication he ever physically abused her (he did however physically abuse Shouto through his "training") , and later in the manga we get a deeper look at what actually transpired. Both Endeavor and his wife were traumatised by an event and fully unequipped to handle it in a healthy way.
I'm saying this because there doesn't need to be physical abuse for there to be abuse. He was emotionally abusive, monstrously controlling, and allowing his (recent, horrific) trauma to pass onto his children through his abuse of them.
@@mrrd4444 You bring up a good point. The anime seems to add in what sounds like Endeavor hitting Rei, but there isn’t hard confirmation. I haven’t read the manga (just some spoilers), so for all I know, it could just be an add-on for the show.
It’s a very messy situation. Endeavor seems to be the root cause; but there are other factors at play. Just like real life, the answers aren’t so easily black and white.
I think you really missed Endeavor character there
At least until this point there were really no "I want whats best for my kids, what I never had"
I dont think he even see them as kids, he often refer to them as things "thats the reason I created you" "my masterpiece"
he is just so obsessed with beating All Might that doesnt even care how, so the wife and kids are just instruments
Also I dont think you got the thing about his mom.
Endeavor greatest weakness is that he can sometimes overheat and hurt himself and the mom has Ice powers, so he didnt pick her just because Ice is strong and would make a strong kid, he chose her cause with ice and fire he could cool down and vice versa, like now when todoroki was too cold and the fire warm him up again, so he has no weakness
LAST BUT NOT LEAST SORRY FOR MY BAD ENGLISH LOVE YOUR CHANEL BYE COME TO BRASIL
"I'm so pissed... Doo Doo Doo Doo"
lmao I love your mha videos. For a show I've watched through like 10 times your give me probably the most insightful things I've missed watching it.
This is easily one of the best looking fights of Season 2, it has great characterization for both Izuku and Shoto, and the backstory for Shoto that we start with is only the top layer. Really excited to see next episode's reaction, cause it's got some juicy twists.
On a related note, MHA's 100th episode came out today and the next episode happens to be the Christmas episode; in any other show you'd think it was filler, but it did actually happen in the manga.
I think it's really cool and different how they made deku lose to shoto, it rly shocked me
Haha yeah same here... really messed up my bracket
Just wait for Endeavor's evolution, he's a pretty interesting character later in the series.
Also I heard that when the author of the comic saw the end of this fight he cried tears of happiness because it looked so awesome. Not sure if it's true, but it's a cool story.
By far the best episode of MHA so far, almost made me cry. :)
5:50 “He’s got swag” “he’s got something different” yeah he has confidence and a quirk
Also, Endeavor was an abuser. So while the mother is responsible for her actions, both she and Shoto were victims of domestic abuse in an arranged marriage and a certain amount of her poor mental health can be directly attributed to Endeavor.
That "I feel better" at the end killed me XD
Todoroki is so OP. Because quirks have draw backs. They can be worn out. Todoroki’s drawback is that his body temperature will lower or rise depending on which attack he’s using. But if he uses both then there is no drawback
I get why people start to view Deku differently from this season on with how he responds to Endeavor and fights with Todoroki, but honestly? I feel he was always this. He was just showing it in a different way. The Deku that cries constantly because he's easily moved by other peoples kindness, the Deku that stands up for his friends, the Deku that wants to be a hero above all else, the Deku that can't stand someone half assing a fight, the Deku that rushed in to save someone in danger even if it was someone who hurt him. It was all Deku. It was all of it what All Might saw on him. Someone who *feels* so strongly and wholeheartedly he can't help but to act on it. This is just removing some of the crippling anxiety
I cracked up when you went "Thanks Todoroki, for ruining my bracket." ~resentfully hums along to ending theme~
If no one has mentioned it yet the mom regreted her action seconds after and tried to heal him with her ice powers and THAT is what gave shoto his scar not necessarily the boiling water :]
"i'm so pissed"
*a few doo doo doooos later*
"I feel better"
gold
“He has to look inside himself to save himself from his other self. If you know what I mean.”
Yes, yes I do Zuko😂😂
Love the visible mood change from grumpy "do do do" to peppy "do do do" at 16:50 😂 Just can't stay mad when singing that song!
For me, this was the episode that made me realize this show was something special and not just a generic shounen.
One thing a chunk of the fanbase never understood was that Endeavor was overbearing in training.
People took the flashback as him walking around the house, beating the shit out of everyone constantly.
I just want to say I love your videos and the way you see things is really interesting and relatable, keep up the great work!
Genuinely one of my favorites, if not, my absolute favorite reaction RUclipsr. I absolutely cant believe how small you are. I really love your content man, keep up the amazing work.
Midoriya: *Loses the tournament before finals*
Shonen fans: Hol' up
This is one of my favourite episodes of the whole anime
Nice video btw
One of my Favorite episodes too
This man has one of the best commentary and analisis i have ever seen on a reaction channel.
Another thing to notice the cause of his defeat was his own flaw that Allmight had pointed out of putting others ahead of himself and wanting to save everyone above winning.
Todoroki = Zuko? There are even more similarities coming up btw haha
I see it more in Bakugo. Not his background but his anger and screaming at everyone xD
@@kolo5141 hahahaha
“Well now my bracket is ruined.. thanks todoroki” 😂😂😂
“I’m so pissed :/“
*2 seconds later*
“Dododo, dododo, dododo wawawawa :D”
"This is my most anticipated fight"
*Oh boy, you've got a big storm coming!*
"This is making me really curious about Endeavor" 👀
I was so excited when I saw you had started reacting to MHA, and this is one of the main reasons why. I knew you would get Endeavor's character and be interested in him, not just dismiss him as a bad anime dad and never think about it again.
Keep it up! Your reactions are the most enjoyable ones I've ever watched! 😊
I'm so glad you're already picking up on the complexity (and excellently created character) that is Endeavor/Enji Todoroki. This is the first we're meeting him and he's a pretty repugnant entity at this stage, but I am not overselling it when I say he's my favourite character in the whole series. In time we'll see how complicated and nuanced his story (and really the whole Todoroki family dynamic) is. I notice you mentioned ATLA and, honestly, Enji was essentially presented as yet another Fire Lord Ozai Bad Dad (hell his name even pretty much means Fire Lord/Master), but Horikoshi really takes him to dazzling heights--and humanizes him at the same time.
This moment is so huge for Shouto in particular. This fight with Deku finally wakes him up to the idea that he can be more than a product of his circumstances. That he really can chart his own course in life, not as a victim of his parents--and you're right, what Rei (his mother) did to him was on her, regardless of what Enji did to her--but as the kind of hero that HE wants to be.
These dysfunctional hero-Kardashians are a standout element in the MHA universe. Probably the thing that keeps my interest the most.
You were right that Deku would lose, but still accomplish his heroic goals. You just made the mistake that that would be in the Finals lol. Don't blame you though, the tournament layout gave Deku the perfect opportunity to face his rivals back-to-back with Todoroki, Iida, and Bakugo. Love the subversion of expectations with Todoroki winning. Deku's meddling therapy is just too powerful lol
hey i just realized shoto can warm himself if he gets a cold and cool himself if he gets a fever
When you came for reaction but ended up getting therapy.
This episode made me realize that this anime won't just give the main characters plot armor cause most people would expect for deku to win just so he could go against bakugo but no it shows that the main character in this universe isnt the strongest but will have to work their way to the top while at the same time helping everyone including if he is in a fight which shows that the main character is a good one and I have no idea how some people think deku isn't a good main character
I truly enjoy how ensightful you are watching this the first time around. Its great listening to everything you talk about the anime having seen it all as of now.
What I love about this episode in particular, is because Izuku understands that being a hero is more than winning a match, but saving people. Not only saving them from danger, but help them see the light that is in themselves. That is what All Might is for the people in the world, he is the light. Izuku might've lost the match, but have deeply ignited Shoto's passion for being a hero. Put totally intended.
Still totally refreshing that there are so many adults in this shonen show that you can actively root for and like for being, responsible, caring and competent people.
Fun fact that was cut from the episode but was in the manga, shoots mum used her quirk to try an cool of his face after the boling water was put on, but as it landed on his fire side he would of been unaffected by the hit water as his fire side is made to be immune to high temperatures making the scar a ice burn
your take on endeavor is the best i have seen ty for being open and honest
My man is way too stuck in the basic anime thought process. Main character doesn’t win a fight = something fishy is going on.
Yeah, it's why the vast majority of reactors really shouldn't try to make a fantasy bracket for this, they just get too stuck on how they think things should have played out and it stops them from enjoying how things do play out.
Luckily Goodwin's analytical enough to stop and think about why things happened, once the ED had cooled his head at least.
You're really insightful and articulate, got my sub. Excited to see what you think of the rest of the series
honestly i was really rooting for todoroki this fight and love that they didnt just have the main character win so i was super happy with the outcome lol
The flame hero : Endeavor is my favourite from the series. He may be an abusive parent and a awful husband, but his feats are some of the best in the entire show. During s1 ep 4, it was stated by the biggest nerd of the show (deku) that Endeavor has the most number of cases resolved in history. This means that Endeavour has saved like about thousands of people, which even happens to be far more than All Might has.
All I'm sayin is if they actually allowed deku to land his it, todoroki was out of there. Potentially dead... but still out the ring.
I don't think he would be "potentially" dead. Todoroki would just be straight up splattered across the wall. There's no way Todoroki is taking on a full 100% punch from Deku at this point without turning into a red mist.
And what if they allowed todorokis attack to actually hit 😂, man u deku fanboys love to act like only deku's attack was affected by the blocks
@@patricktorres1292 Midoriya was literally punching through the air, he would have shredded through Todoroki's attack.
Highly doubt midoriya was surviving that since the move todoroki did is actually designed to blast the opponents away
@@willfanofmanyii3751 todroki attack made its debut in season 4 and its was actual move so I doubt midoriya was hitting todoroki,
Always love the insight that you provide to these episodes. Not even just in MHA but AoT also....Would love to hear your insight and shit you have to say about Code Geass
You will see endeavor's point of view later on in the series. I do wish we got to see how endeavor was as a teen and why being number 1 matters to him so much. He reminds me so much of Bakugo. Endeavor and shouto are very interesting characters
Even though i love this series, i was a bit worried you might not find a lot in it when it won the patreon poll, but your ability to conflate in-show conflicts to real world problems really brings out so much from this show, i’m glad you ended up liking it, i was worried at first you would get pretty bored but it’s amazing you can immediately see the deeper layers behind every moment over and over again, great stuff man!!
I can't explain how much i love when people make brackets for the tournament (blind wave did it too) it gets people so much more into it djsbsjab
"Thank todoroki for ruining my bracket" LMAO
Deku's determination and will to save and help others is too damn crazy
Proof: the guy literally broke his bones again and again just to get his point through todoroki
His flames were so strong they burn through plot armor
15:39 nobody reacts to Shoto’s tear right after Endeavour shouts 😭
I love this guy so much. Genuinely my favorite RUclipsr.
Midoriya's actions and his expression the entire match earned him the title of madlad that day by the fanbase.
I've never clicked on a youtuber's videos as fast as I click on Goodwin's :) Keep up the good work bby!
One of my favourite episodes and I’m glad you liked it because it’s the crux of so much more to come.
Finally, THE episode, AKA my favorite fight and one of my favorite episodes in the whole show
i miss the best moment of this episode, "its your power. not his!"
Deku: I _will_ beat you!
Define 'beat'.
we can thank zuko for pioneering the absolute best character genre "angsty teenage boy with fire daddy issues who has an eye scar and was abused but is secretly very nice"
secretly very nice kid is actually bakugo. mans is pure
When someone insults Midoriya, he becomes timid and shrinks away. When someone insults someone else, including themselves, Midoriya gets mad and can’t help but intervene. Midoriya has forgotten about the festival (and his injuries) and is fully focused on saving Todoroki from himself.
Yeah, at his core he's not a standoffish type of individual, if you mess with him he's probably not going to do anything lol But as soon as he finds an opportunity to help someone else that's when he never or rarely backs down(s3 spoilers, y'all know what im talking about)
Part of the reasons why Bakugo hates him so much, he's cowardly but as soon as Bakugo slips up he's immediately there to help (river scene, and the sludge villain, not immediately there tho)
Fun Fact: Most people get this wrong, but it wasn't the boiling water that hurt Todoroki (or at least, not that much). It was his mom's power.
You see, when she threw the water on him, she immediately tried to fix it by using her power. But anyone who has basic knowledge on burns knows that applying anything Ice cold will only make it worse, because the cold also burns. And considering how he should have more resistance to heat, it was probably her trying to help that caused the most damage.
I really like his commentary, they are so good and accurate in my opinion
I love how much you enjoy the ending song HAHAHA
No matter how many times I watch this I get so emotional it’s hard to sit still.
