You gotta respect Stain for not only deeming Deku worthy of living, but going as far as saving him, which implies that he feels the world needs Deku, and people like him.
I like that Gran Torino calls Endeavor by his last name.
Daniel Salgado I also like how Endeavor has respect for Gran Torino at least in the sub. Dub makes Endeavor look like more of an asshole. He’s still a good hero he’s just not perfect. He’s learning and he will change I hope thanks to Shoto
Zub 41r yeah he call him honored elder I think, I like that too.
Daniel Salgado He also said “I’m relying on you” to the other heroes. I wish they mentioned things like that in the dub. Endeavor has some good in him. I think he will regret what’s happened to his wife/son/family. He was obsessed with being the best and that blinded him.
MAYBE SPOILER
When All Might faces against All for One, Endeavor has a moment that heavily implies he feels bad for everything he did to surpass All Might.
Daniel Salgado well I mean people use to call them by their last names
13:05 *_Manga spoilers_*
Yes, Endeavor does have to cool himself down if he gets into an extended fight, like Shoto needing to thaw after using his ice. That's why Shoto is the perfect child, able to solve both limitations by having both ice and fire.
The red screen when stain was talking had everyone frozen in some sort of fear. It's called killing intent and it's a trope in anime
fikle indeed some crazzzy bloodlust
Hannibal Lecter Not really. What they’re trying to say with scenes like that is that Stains so adamant about killing false hero’s that everyone else can feel his bloodlust in the air even though it’s not literally in the air.
And here I thought he was just paralyzing them with his spiritual pressure.
SolarTube spot on
Yeah its also a real thing to some degree. You ever try to deal with someone who will genuinely kill you or is otherwise not great mentally? You pick it up through body language and all sorts of other things and you feel it. This is just a dramatized version for effect and since we can't feel that ourselves. Its a visual and auditory medium.
Endeavor, GREAT HERO, terrible father.
KyosisPlays to be fair, thats most anime fathers.
Luis Gutierrez AGREE WITH YOU BUT WHAT ABOUT EREN'S FATHER
Manga spoiler, i actually shed a tear for endeaver after the last chapter, never would've expected that, he isn't that bad of a person after all ...
goku can join the club of terrible father
and terrible husband
Yeah, if you compare Todoroki to Endeavor, you can tell Shouto's not really putting as much focus on physical training and hand-to-hand as much as he probably could. Endeavor uses his fire for range, sure, but he's also built like a truck and can put up a damn good fight with just his fists. Todoroki throws out a kick or a punch every now and then, but he seems to prefer just blasting out large scale attacks of frost and flames.
i think wolf means pure physical combat without using his powers. todoroki hasn't really shown any impressive feats without his power. although it is implied hes physically stronger than most class 1a students
The problem isn't that he doesn't know how to fight, its that he relies too much on his quirk. He focuses too much on it when he should be focused on victory and using all his tools. Its like if you have a gun and focus too much on using it instead of everything else you have. At certain ranges for instance guns can lose meaning. Usually very close ranges. Still good but alot better at range where your enemy can't beat you up with his fists.
the problem is that todoroki is essentially an engineered bio weapon that's been emotionally scarred. he shows off some of his more impressive techniques during the festival, particularly during the race, but when you're born with power to rival a demigod, why move?
SPOILERS:
you see this same kind of attitude in all for one, where he just either floats there, damn near stationary or he's moving just enough to hit his opponent.
Endeavor doesn't spam abilities nonstop because he will overheat so he HAS to be good at close range. Shoto may not need to learn hand to hand since he doesn't have that problem.
He's still young and I feel like him and Endeavor has been putting most attention on Shoto's quirk control as a first priority because even though hand to hand and being physically strong are important, quirk control comes first. So now that he has decent control on his quirk I think he'll definitely start training himself more physically.
Fun fact: Many were confused why the winged nomu went for deku first, so the author showed an image of the winged kid who was bullying deku with bakugo.
theory confirmed!
really shows how dark it can get
Yeah i felt like the only one who figured that out right away when i saw that nomu grab him. I wondered when he showed up but that really clinched it. I was like "oh shit, thats actually dark" which is impressive since i don't usually call things dark.
Also anyone know what happened to that lil kid that kacchan and his trio of friends were beating up then Deku intervened and he got beat up instead in the first episode? Anybody remember him? Well if he pop up later on just say that don't spoil spoil for me, Like his name bc I don't know just a question I have.
Keven Tejada He hasn't come up at all, and I don't know if he ever will. Although it would be cool if he was a student in another school also trying to become a hero.
Stain's standards for heroes are very, VERY high. Tensei Iida may have seemed like a pretty good guy in general, but it's worth noting that his motive for being a hero was basically "Well it's the family business and I gotta make a living. Plus helping people is pretty good too." To us, that sounds like he's a pretty damn good person, and a perfectly reasonable motivation to be a hero. But for Stain, it's likely that basically any motive outside of a pure selfless desire to help others is "unworthy" since he's so much of a radical. That, combined with Tensei getting the drop on him while he was killing someone else, probably sealed the fate of Ingenium 1.
*Tenya Iida
DeadlyOreos No, he is specifically talking about Tensei
Tensei is Tenya's older bro, the original Ingenium.
Wolf6120 Sorry but for me Stain is a hypocrite he said that he want to kill the false heros, but he attack Ingenium wich was a "true hero", he attack peaple with out knowing them and judges them as "false heros". He's motivation is great but he is a hypocrite person that cant be faithful to his words.
Patrick And what was his reason to attack Ingenium?............absolutly nothing he jude him without knowing him. When in fact Ingenium was a true hero. It would have more scense if he had attack the model hero or Endevor but he attack a true hero like Ingenium. His radical point of view makes him a hypocrite.
Eric understood Stain's character to the core in the discussion, he really picked up on so much. Love Blind Wave's reactions, it's a nice thing having viewpoints from 5 different people on a series like this.
Just to clarify and because the anime will never address this, Endeavor and Stain don't know each other, it just that to Stain Endeavor would be the epitome of the false heroes that he wants to purge and to Endeavor Stain is this big victory price that he can get and add to his win strike in his search of becoming the Nº1 hero.
If I remember correctly Stain cut his nose himself in his early days after a Vigilante named Knuckleduster punched him so hard in the face that destroyed his nose.
Man, I really hoped that they will continue the side stories.
You should warn people of spoilers.
He didn’t cut it off, knuckleduster just straight punches it the fuck off.
Knuckleduster is amazingg
@Jaime Ruiz No, he did cut his nose, after knuckleduster destroys it. It was clearly show the nose falling with a clean cut in the back and stain with a knife in his face.
THIS FIGHT AND THE ONE THAT JUST HAPPENED IN SEASON 3. THANK GOD FOR MY HERO ACADEMIA
The Reverse Flash more like thank studio bones for doing this series justice.
The Reverse Flash well "that fight" was a great emotional moment, but as a fight was very weak.
How tf did you commented one week ago
Patreon acess I think
Yeah they wasn't at they prime but I was expecting more :/
From a cinematic standpoint, this show, and especially this episode, is amazing. I've seen very little mainstream anime that actually pays attention to its camera-shots the way that MHA has, and even fewer that has been written so tightly and with such competence: there is hardly ANY filler, and hardly anything that doesn't come back in some way. (So when they DO do filler, to me it feels pretty earned.)
That said, this episode is great for another, very smart - and surprisingly subtle - reason that a lot viewers will probably miss. If you noticed, Endeavor's debut is literally shot like porn: lots of low angle shots, close-ups, focusing on his chest and muscles, heavy shadowing, and most importantly, his face and eyes. This is from his point of view; this is *how Endeavor sees himself.* This is how the populace, and even we the viewers, are seeing him, too. He's just so goddamn cool that even you forget about all the horrible things he's done (which is absolutely truth in real life, too. R. Kelly can piss on as many underage girls as he wants so long as he keeps flashing his cash, looking cool, and turning out hit albums). HOWEVER, when Stain stands his ground and goes into his tirade, we are suddenly shifted into nothing but side-shots...and in Endeavor's side-shot, he's retreating in fear and uncertainty. Frontal shots are used to show how a character sees himself...but side-shots are used to show *how/who a character really is.*
Yeah the filler is an improvement in my opinion. I would love more tbh since plenty of cool stuff goes on that we just don't have time to see in the manga. Its not made up just to fill space but rather as an explanation of events that the manga mentions in passing or to remind us as the viewers of things and drive them home.
I would actually be kind of disappointing if we didn't get more filler. I would like atleast 1 filler episode worth of content per season.
Merilirem right?! It's so strange that i actually look forward and want more filler, if it fleshes out the world more.
when filler is done right it becomes worldbuilding with good character moments. when done wrong it's just filler
The Anafront monster also has very good camera angles
its a anime that takes breaks thats why and they let the manga get a nice head start before the anime started ...that helps but it sadly means less animation cause the people working on the show have to take breaks which isn't normal in anime...fillers are there to keep employees and pay then.....thus less animation cause the better ones wont work on a show that isn't year round like say one piece...it is what it is...
When lida gets up the plan changes from "let's buy time till the pros arrive" to "let's just beat the shit out of this guy"
Stain's voice actor was so good with especially with that last speech of his.
Robert McCollum is an underrated gem. Sensui in yuyu hakusho, Kogami in Psycho Pass, Jellal in fairy tail, Kazuma in kaze no stigma, Doflamingo in One Piece. He does a great job with conflicted/obsessive characters it seems.
The Englush VA has a good voice, but the intensity wasn't the same as the Japanese VA.
RAF The Japanese seiyuu was actually hated in every episode but this one by almost everybody that read the manga (even the Japanese fanbase), as they felt his portrayal didn't fit Stain at all.
I felt it fit fine. Just because people thought he would sound different doesn't mean the casting was wrong. My interpretation of stain as a manga reader was of a kinda bedraggled raspy voiced Aizawa. The voice acting was great.
Its a matter of opinion. The dub did a fine job but i still think that like most english VA's they lack something important in the realism or intensity department. Im not some fanboy weaboo or anything, i can just tell the difference.
Most english voice actors have always sounded like actors rather than people speaking. People do it in real life too, americans and showboaters typically. It just sounds like your trying to be something rather than succeeding at the voice.
For the clearest example just look up bad acting in general. An easy way is to search for porn audio since thats notoriously bad with all its cheesy lines. I am of course not saying its the same thing, but the problem is the same, likely for the same reason.
Maybe they just don't know how to get into it. I mean there are plenty of english speaking actors who can do voices and change roles so its certainly possible.
Muzur I know right? It's always the sub elitest weebs that can't seem to accept anything other than the sub as good when both can be, and both are.
One of the things that I love about this anime is how perfectly they all flow together especially in their fight scenes, and the scene when Endeavor fights the Nomus highlights these perfectly. It's incredible how they sync the punches, the camera cuts, the Nomu falling, the Nomu's wing flapping, Endeavor's flame activation and spear throw, heck even the changing the color of the flames to blue all to the beats of the OST "Just Another Hero." I feel like the total sound design isn't appreciated enough.
Stain is against any compensation of heroism, as heroics for him is about self-sacrifice. All Might is alright because he's dedicated his very existence to making society a better place as the "Symbol of Peace", and Deku and Shouto are inspired by All Might's heroism so Stain likely recognizes them because of that. In Stain's view, unless you're a hero for the pure purpose of doing good, if your primary concern is money or fame or anything non-heroic, then you're a hypocrite, which is the case for many occupational heroes who seek heroics as a profession rather than a moral obligation.
Its less about compensation and more about seeking it. You should be a hero first because of your actions and heart etc, not because its a job you do for money.
Here come the cracks in the hero society caused by stain
Then Shigaraki will work hard to create even more cracks thanks to Stain
I'd argue hero society was already incredibly damaged and Stain just unintentionally highlighted it. The idea of a law that would make the kids criminals for stopping Stain (except for Iida, since he went looking for Stain) is a patently ridiculous concept that only exists to add drama.
Like, imagine this in the real world for a second. Attempted murders, assaults and rapes would drop, but successful ones would proportionally increase because you could be arrested for doing the right thing. And don't think I'm being hyperbolic, China didn't have laws protecting you from getting in legal trouble for interfering until fairly recently, and the exact opposite happened once the law was passed.
And then there's the exaltation of Quirks that are obviously powerful or impressive, made worse by the fact that Hero society is heavily commercialized. A Quirk like Stain's, even when he was Stendhal, would be borderline impossible to market. Same with Shinso (thought I'd take a moment to point out that his Quirk isn't nearly as useful in heroics as people like to think it is due to the fact that jostling them, something certain to happen during an arrest, breaks it. And a criminal is likely to go ballistic and do everything in their power if they suddenly come to being cuffed), and at least part of the reason Eraserhead is considering an 'underground' hero. Since heroes are confirmed to be ranked in part due to popularity (which, in equally measure shows why Endeavor was never gonna get the Number One spot while All Might was around and shows just how DAMN good he is at combat to outweigh his general jackassary to reach Number 2), a hero without a marketable power would be confined to lower rankings.
I'd ultimately say Stain is a symptom of a system that was broken from the beginning.
@Jay Cole21 hello joker
Today’s a good day for My Hero reactions.
And it appears that Calvin has returned from his quest for redemption.
EDIT: For clarification in the event of future replies, this comment was made on the same day as the airing of 3x11
Ain't it the truth
A splendid day today indeed!
fun fact: endeavour can overheat himself, that's the down side of his quirk, which is why he married an ice-quirk user so that his children wouldn't have the same downside with their quirk, and would be able to modulate their temperature when they get too hot or too cold
cancerianStargazer Please stop posting spoilers from the latest mha manga chapter.
Mihir Chitnis hardly a spoiler if you think about it. It's been established he had a quirk marriage, with an ice quirk user, of all the *spoilers* in the manga that's the most tame. Hell even the identity of the flying nomu is more of a spoiler than that one so quiet down hun
Not really a spoiler when you consider how most quirks have obvious weaknesses
cancerianStargazer don't spoil them
Spoiler is a spoiler small or large doesn't matter
High School students with superpowers take down a serial killer that licks his victims blood.
Biggest upset of the episode: someone threw a coil of rope into the garbage.
Neto del Toro actually 3 kids with powerful physical quirks against a fanatic who has a situational quirk and relies mostly on one on one fights and is also only trying to kill Iida and Native and avoiding to kill Midoriya and Todoroki as well as making slip ups cuz he's more into fast kills than prolonged fight especially if more pros show up
Sarcasm.
Google it, it'll change your minds once you understand the concept.
At no point in my 2 line original comment did I mentioned that Stain was trying to kill Deku or Todoroki.
Furthermore, it's implied that Stain would kill anyone he deemed unworthy of the title of hero, and at the time, that included both Todoroki and Deku, because, AT THAT TIME, they hadn'd proven themselves in his eyes, they were just some stupid kids that happened to be standing between him and his original pray (Iida and Native).
The fact that Stain was only aiming to injure both Deku and Todoroki at first just says that he was trying to get rid of the nuisances that stumbled upon his potential crime scene to get on with his intended job, which was taking care of Iida and Native; he might have continued and killed both Deku and Todoroki after, but we'll never know since he deemed at least Deku worthy of being called a hero (to the point of actualy saving him from a Nomu at the end), and also Iida came to his senses and defeated him before he could harm anyone else.
If you wanna throw shade at someone else's commentary, at least understand all the angles before throwing a snarky retort.
So by that logic anyone that had stepped into that alley and stood between him and Iida saying any variant of "chill bro..." would have been deemed a hero by Stain?, because that "he deemed Deku a hero before they fought" part impies that, 'cos, literally, everything he did was just barged in and stand between them... no words, no flamboyant displays of abilities, just a kid that blasted his way into whatever the hell was going in in that alleyway.
If you think so highly of Stains "process" for picking and choosing real heroes, then you're doing in a diservice by oversimplifying his method to the point of deeming someone a hero just for barging into a fight. Yes, interfeering when you're not supposed to is the essense of a hero, but I'd argue actually saving someone without dying is an even greater achievement; so yeah, I stand by what I said: he deemed Deku a hero until all was said and done, otherwise, he would have left that Nomu take him.
Indeed they are.. because no one seems to understand that he was going to go through them one by one: first Native, but Iida got in the way, and continue doing so to the point where he became such a nuisance that Stain went for him directly just to get him out of the way so he could continue with his intended target, Native; add to that the aggravant of Iida acting on purely selfish desire/revenge for because of his brother, and that made Stain laser-focused on him: now his main target was Iida... until Deku and Todoroki showed up. Now those two were in the same situation Iida was before: they are the nuisances, Iida is the main target.
Neto del Toro shut the fuck up god damn
The red was Stain literally scaring everyone into submission, even Endeavor. It's like looking death in the face and knowing there's way to escape. He also saved Midoriya because he sees him as worthy and he really, really hates Sir Face Palms-alot.
Funny thing, the last manga chapters tells us about Endeavour's heat regulations.
The short story is: he can't overcome the fact that he overheats, he has to wait. And that means he's incredibly limited if the fight lasts while his son does not have that issue at all, and is only limited by his own bodily endurance. Endeavour is like a few bombs, he explodes a couple of time but then it's over. His son has the potential to be that bomb exploding in chain for dozens of minutes, he can become so much more powerful.
You should put spoiler tags on this. Its a 100% spoiler and manga readers are not the only ones who come here. The crew will also not read or hear this comment because its a spoiler and manga readers should know so the only reason to make such a comment is to spoil.
Put it behind a SPOILER tag and let people choose to be spoiled.
Merilirem or you know people won't be fucking stupid and just not read it since he said it's something in the latest manga chapter.
Pretty sure unless someone's brain is the size of a packing peanut they would understand a comment about the latest manga chapter would spoil them
I say where the info come from and I leave a space below so that people can stop reading. I also say what the spoiler is about (details about the heat regulations part of his powers). Worse come to worst and people can't stop reading if they don't see the world "spoiler", all they'll learn is that Endeavour has a limit to how much fire he can put out which... Is both obvious and not a spoiler since Bakugo basically says that everyone has some kind of limit like that in season 2 episode 10. I think they'll be fine.
1, not talking about the details but that you spoiled what happens in the latest chapter which means it doesn't happen sooner and that the story has to be in a place for it to happen. There's other stuff but you get the idea.
2. I read that instantly. I can't speak for everyone but some of us read entire chunks of text at a time, others read faster than they can consciously comprehend so either way by the time you know its a spoiler you have absorbed it and can now clearly recall what it said. If you want to avoid spoiling you should put it in the READ MORE part of a comment and say SPOILER right above that.
Okay so I spoiled the fact that they don't tell us everything about a very specific part of Endeavour's powers (that everyone who paid attention already deduced from dialogue of the second season from Endeavour and Bakugo and the fight of episode 10) before an unspecified chapter that a person who doesn't follow the manga will have to look up compared to the date of my post if they want to figure out which it was. You'll excuse me if I don't lose sleep over it. I wrote a warning, you decided to read super fast in a comment section that could be filled with spoiler instead of being careful, well too bad.
17:31 Tenya’s brother was permanently paralyzed, but not killed. He was paralyzed trying to apprehend stain.
The frame where the blood runs downs ida’s arm to his hand is so cool, especially with that beautiful acoustic flutter following the speed of the running blood
Not only do I not have rope, I haven't even seen rope in about 9 years. What is rope even used for? Besides jumping.
to tie up villains ofcourse
Failed suicide attempt.
MoonStar I believe there's a book written by a twilight fangirl that has many many uses for ropes of all shades and sizes, over 50 of them.
Kinky stuff 😏
Tieing things down, alot of people have other tools for there truck or tents now days is likely why you havent seen rope.
Since the simuldub is on a two week break, I’m now here watching Blind Wave’s reaction. I loved the teamwork with Deku, Todoroki and Iida. The music that plays when Endeavour fights the nomus is awesome! Man, the ending with Stain’s bloodlust leaking and everyone being paralysed in fear because of Stain’s deadly aura was so intense. Quite chilling.
Jayden Yugi So it doesn't come back until July 7th?
Douglas Show Yep. That’s correct.
Jayden Yugi no wonder. I've been waiting for episode 12 in forever...
Atleast they went till the OFA vs AFO, the main plan was to stop after Episode 6
The Lover Boy i guess so. though it seems like they had a similar situation in season 2 where they wanted to stop after episode 6 but decided to take a break after episode 13...
I love that they show how childish Shigaraki is throughout the entire series. His tantrum at losing a Nomu was great for the consistency of his character
I love he's so petulant and pissed off he disintegrates the binoculars out of frustration.
When we first met him I thought I was going to hate him so much, but especially in Season 2 and 3 I absolutely love how much of a little shit he is. I've said it before but he's basically a little kid playing Superheroes and he's the villain, throwing tantrums when he starts losing and just quits before he loses so he can say he didn't lose
Oh boy in the end of Overhaul arc he is a savage!
Iconic Player One Not really. I still think he is too childish and has yet to accomplish much
@@rainingcomplete3018 then you need to rewatch again.
As far as what was going on with Stain, that was a standard anime trope - a visual representation of "sakki," or bloodlust/killing intent/etc.
That flying nomu was Bakugo’s friend with the red wings in episode 1 (Author confirmed it). Probably why he randomly grabbed Midoriya out of everyone.
Tf fr? That's nuts
Spoiler
And apparently the doctor that told Midoriya he doesn’t have a quirk is AFO doctor also the dude with wings grand father
@@mommayomomma1 I think this is a spoiler but it’s okay
@@mommayomomma1 thats not even confirmed just heavily theorized
The anime never mentions it but the reason Shoto didn't use Ice to restrain the unconscious Hero Killer because they were afraid he would die of Hypothermia or something like that. Just lil extra info if anyone's curious :)
That Recipro Extend was some of the best voice acting I’ve heard
Fun fact. Stain use to only kill villain but then he got his ass beat by a batman style vigilante know as knuckleduster. That's the reason he doesnt have a nose. It's because knuckleduster messed him up real bad. Also knuckleduster had a quirk which made him similar to comic heroes like flash or quicksilver but his quirk was stolen by all for one. After he lost his quirk he became a batman type vigilante.
I LOVE THE BEAT DROP WITH ENDEAVOR'S FALCON PUNCH 👊🔥
I climax everytime I watch Blind Wave
ew
SylenDraws That sounds...... nutty....
I'll shut up now
why do i see you literally everywhere on yt
I started to watch your reactions beause of Eric's emotions but I stayed because you are the most entertaning guys in every way to react to. For example Aarons' clever deducation, Shane's lovely contribution. Calvin's knowledge of like... anything and so on, I love you guys
In my opinion, this was the best fight of the WHOLE series!!! I found my love for Shoto and Ida during this fight!
Its hard to say how much of a power difference there is between All Might and Endeavor because in episode 1 or 2 its stated that Endeavor has resolved the most incidents among heroes, which obviously includes All Might. All Might is just so charismatic and inspiring so he is ranked number 1. So Endeavor might very well be more comparable to All Might than we might think.
Also its cool that Endeavor trusts Shoto's judgement since he let him run off on his own like that, lets be real he didn't have to.
Im pretty sure that Endeavour hasn't solved more incidents than All Might, what is stated is that Endeavour has locked up more villains than All Might has, but when it comes to other crises like natural disasters he rarely ever contributes, as opposed to All Might who is stated to help people in all situations. Endeavour specifically hunts down villains whereas All Might does anything he can for the greater good (as shown with the video Izuku sees of him as a child where in which All Might saves a shitton of people from a fire).
In the past few years because of all mights injuries he has indeed beaten more criminals, all might is limited to only 4 hours compared to endeavors 24. The rank of number one isn’t only determined by cases resolved, but also popularity and a few other factors. So since endeavor is a bit of an asshole he typically isn’t very popular, so it’s incredibly hard for him to be number 1.
except that later moments in the manga and anime show that all might completely blows endeavor out of the water when it comes to raw power. one for all's 100% is comparable to a dragonball character being dropped into this universe, each hit is like watching a bomb go off. and if you don't believe me, _all might can change the weather by punching the sky._ go back to the start of the series, he puts out the fires from the sludge villain by punch up, altering air pressure and bringing rain.
keep in mind that all might is currently dying and missing about half of his internal organs. the all might you see in this show is not his 100%, not even close, and he's still outstripping endeavor in multiple aspects, including power and speed.
and yeah, endeavor didn't have to let todoroki go, but at the same time, endeavor was busy and had his hands full with the nomus randomly breaking things, he probably figured his son was more than durable enough to handle whatever he was running off to deal with.
the difference between them is H U G E. without all might this world is so fucked.
Mateo Saavedra the power gap really isn’t that big... all might with the wound is still stronger but not by a large margin, if allmight is a 10/10 , endeavour would be like a 7/10
The only thing is allmight without the wound is in a completely different level from endeavour
Yeah Stains face will not be explained in the series, it will only be showed in a spin off manga that's kinda canon because the author of MHA was okay with it.
*SPOILERS* (Kinda, Only for the Spin-off)
Stain looks the way he does because he got smash in the face by a Vigilante known as *Knuckleduster* (Yes, I also think that is a cool name) when Stain was known as the vigilante *Stendhal* . Their fight was caused by many factors which if I tried to type out, I be here all-night. Long Story short: They used to work together and know work against each other. However Knuckleduster's Actions didn't change Stain, his words did. He (And I am paraphrasing from memory here) said "I do hero work because I love hurting bad guys.", meaning he wasn't a true hero. Stain realizes that there are few if none true heroes.
Man, I've spent to much time around this series....... Eh who cares?
Looks to me like Endeavor was only getting warmed up.
...
...
...
Don't worry, I know where the door is.
You hadn´t seen Endeavor need to cool down, because he never went all out so far (his "super moves" are cool though). It is only logical he can "overheat" just like his son (and wife and other children) can freeze. That is why he chose his wife. To compensate for his weakness.
God after watching this just makes the fight vs High End so much more epic....Endeavor is a powerhouse
The fact that Stain cut his own nose off just makes him all the more HARRDDCOOORRREEEE
Today's episode of season 3 was sooooo good!!!! Right in the feels!!! GOD I LOVE THIS SERIES!!!! :)
Todoroki is already powerful, if he had the same level of control as his dad/could shape his ice? That's crazy levels of op!
But he's still missing experience. He still makes mistakes that he shouldn't make because he still doesn't have the combat experience in using it the best. He's powerfull, but not yet OP.
Oh boy what a day indeed. Such a great reaction guys. USOS!!!!
Fun fact: Shoto's hero costume is designed to help regulate his body temperature. His boots has cleats so he doesn't slip on the ice he created and his utility belt mostly has first aid items for rescue mission.
apparently in japan, people use rope they don't want or need to tie their garbage together and keep the area around the pick-up tidy. the more direct translation of what todoroki said while dragging stain is that "trusty garbage always has rope".
And yeah, you're goddamned RIGHT that Stain would dislike someone like Endeavor the most, as he is the epitome, and most meta justification, of everything that he's trying so desperately to correct about the flawed hero-society, of people making idols of others based on their image, and not on their actual deeds. They, and we the audience, are willing to turn a blind eye to heinous acts and problems that need to be addressed so long as they flex for the camera or sell some fan-service now and again (Uwabami ;) ). Now normally, and in any other show, it would be easy to have it be a black-and-white argument and say that Stain is just "wrong" or just "right". There have been plenty of real-life terrorists and extremists that have preached their ideals, and made no impact despite their effort, because that's just the way the world works; it's ridiculously rare that a single person can change the world on xer own.
The fascinating thing about Stain's character is that for whatever reason, he actually IS achieving his desired results by his actions. It really SHOULDN'T be working, but it IS, not only giving credence to his cause, but also that whereas he isn't "right", he definitely isn't "wrong" either: their society is definitely out of whack, and drastically NEEDS to change. Which is why the *consequences* of this arc allow the story to...eventually go where it does.
I swear, this is the smartest show/anime I've come across in a long, long while.
Although the Stain arc is very short, not only is it going to have significant impact on future events in the story, it also it has great character moments. Todoroki is now comfortable using his fire. Iida's obsession with vengeance and then getting over it for the sake of his friends. Stain killing a noumu to save what he considers a true hero in a world full of fake ones.
It was actually just confirmed in the manga chapter that released yesterday that Endeavor *does* overheat, and that Shouto's Ice Power is explicitly intended to balance his fire out (and visa versa).
Even with the series still going, Stain is probably the most badass villain in the entire show. Hope me makes a comeback in the season somehow, seeing him in action again would be a dream
Stain was such a great character , with good motive and backstory and an awesome quirk.
for the first time, was anticipating the new mha episode so much I completely forgot about the blind wave reaction. im late today
You guys are probably the best in the business. Glad I found you
it's pretty amazing that you guys manage to realize the one issue regarding Endeavor power, which is temperature regulation
Just another hero 🎵 can't you hear there cry's for help🎶! Is the best theme ever
I'm pretty sure, at least in the sub, Tenya's brother said he only does hero work because it's the family buisness and he doesn't want to disappoint his parents. Stain' s idea of the ideal hero is one who is a hero purely to save people.
Also that tongue on the nomu is from certain sea worms that can barf out their lungs or stomach. Normally to scare predators.
I love the sound effect they made with his raging bloodlust before he knocked himself out with his own Quirk (I'm pretty sure that's what happened??)
Seeing how powerful Endeavor is displayed in this episode and then reading the latest manga chapter...... wow just wow..... talk about drastic lol
Yeah, It gives you an idea how powerfull "that thing" is.
Jonatas Silva Yeah that chapter was staright flames :)
You guys should consider either reacting or just watching Wisecrack's video on Stain's philosophy. It's really good, and gives a bit more insight into him and makes him a much more enjoyable character honestly.
Does it explain what a hypocrite is so i can link people to it instead of having to explain myself every time?
I love that the button is always hit right when the conversation gets awkward.
oh my... everything that they are all talking about endeavor are starting to revealed in the recent chapters of the manga. What a coincidence guys..
Endeavor and Stain don’t have a past. The burn he sustained was from when Todoroki blasted him. Also Endeavor doesn’t have multiple wives. He has one wife and three children not including Todoroki.
In order to regulate the chill from using ice, Shoto’s fire side would have to effect his body temperature. Therefore it must be possible for him to overheat by using only the fire side. I don’t think we’ll ever see that, because before he refused to use the fire side and now he’s at full power.
CALVIN'S BACK! YAY! :) Great to have you back bud!
If you guys wanted to know more about Stain and his past and how he become a villain,its in one of the chapters of Vigilante: Boku no Hero Academia Ilegals manga....also, Endeavor and Stain are not related at all.
If you guys remember, they are still students....and they are against a Villain with experience for fighting/killing pro heroes,soo its obvious they not know how to fight propely againts a villain yet,they still need exeperience,they basically win by luck.
8:00 *Battle against a true hero starts playing*
(Undyne's theme from Undertale for those who dont understand)
Seeing Endeavor going all badass like this makes me excited to see the newest chapter animated.
It is possible that Endeavor's hero costume helps him in regulating his body temperature. In fact, Shoto's hero costume partially helps him in maintaining temperature. (Read it on Fandom Wiki).
Obligatory mention that the Winged Nomu killed this episode is supposed to be that fat winged friend of Bakugou shown in his flashbacks :)
If your interested in Stain there is a section in something like a spin-off series called "my hero academia: vigilantes" that introduces Stain before the current Stain which you just watched
( Tenya )'s arms were totally trashed after this battle because ( Stain ) thought that he have his quirk tubes on his elbows like his older brother( Tensei ) but thankfully he have it on his calves and it's wasn't effected so badly despite his injuries 💖😢👑 ........... in many episodes we see him drinking orange juice it's actually not only for hydration like other people it's also the type of fruit that make his quirk tubes work smoother , giving his quirk temporary powerboost and his brother was drinking grapefruit juice for the same reason during his active days as a professional hero
😋🍊👍 ........... the Ida family members are professional heroes for many generations but the secret in it that (Tenya and Tensei)'s grandfather discovered that if he moved his quirk tubes it's will grow back stronger than before but it's long painful process to go through , knowing ( Tenya ) I think he will do it without hesitation 🤣🥰👑
Punisher/Spawn/Ghost Rider are in the gray area leanning more to the heroic side Stain is more like an anti-hero leaning more to the vilainious side
The reason Stains face looks the way that it looks was due to him fighting a fellow vigilante. You don’t learn that in the anime or original manga, but you *do* see it in the side story My Hero Vigilante.
The big reason Stain was such a big menace to society were a couple of reasons:
- He is strong in a 1v1 fight ofcourse, but trained himself to handle multiple enemies should that situation arise
- He kept the details on his quirk secret, which is a tactical advantage
- He kept to the shadows and alleyways, which gives him another tactical advantage based on the above reasons
So basically if Stain sticks to his terrain and fights no more than 1 or 2 enemies at once, he'd be a big threat (except to at least the top 5 heroes)
Stain has never met Endeavour before and was not the cause of his injury.
Endeavour is just the pinnacle of what Stain sees as a “false hero”.
Endeavour only cares about becoming number one, he does not become a hero to help others and to selflessly put others before himself. He wants to become the best and even abuses and sacrifices his family in order to achieve that dream. No doubt that he gets the job done and saves people, but he saves them for the wrong reasons.
The opposite of All Might, who Stain sees as the epitome of a true hero.
The thing is endeavor's quirk cannot regulate his temperature beyond a certain limit, beyond which he would not be able to maintain his body temperature, that's the reason he married shoto's mother to get a child with both powers of ice and fire to regulate this drawback of his quirk
In one of the most recent manga, Endeavor does mention that he's getting close to overheating in his inner monologue during a fight, so yes, Shoto needs to regulate both sides
I absolutely love that the anime added in that scene with Endeavor fighting the Nomus, which wasn't in the original manga. It's so great to see that in spite of being a pretty shitty human being and a terrible father, there's a damn good fucking reason why he's #2 hero. It also makes a great juxtaposition with Stain's ideology, since Endeavor is one of the people he sees as the worst of the "fakes", and yet there are probably hundreds - if not thousands - of people alive who would be dead if not for him and his work.
He saved the civilians, provided good leadership for the other pros, and took down the Nomu in an incredibly efficient manner, pretty much on his own. He even trusted Shouto's instructions and sent people to help him, in spite of the fact that Shouto's instructions were pretty random lol. He actually has a higher amount of rescues and villain arrests than even All Might, he's THAT good at what he does. He just has a shitty personality and people don't like him as much as All Might lol. It's a great way to show that there are a lot of different ways to be a "hero".
The reason Stain was after Tenya's brother, I think, was to show that while Stain stood by his ideology it wasn't infallible. What I mean by that is that Stain judged Tensei a false hero based on his own thoughts of what makes an ideal hero and from what little he knew of Tensei. But as we saw Tensei was certainly a good hero and a good person, showing that while well meaning there's a reason why we don't do things Stains way because you can't know who a person is based on such shallow observations sometimes. One reason I love Stain so much, he's a flawed and interesting character.
Also just a reminder what Stain said wasn't that All Might was the only worthy hero, we saw that isn't the case since he saw Shoto and Deli as worthy too. What he said was that All Might was the only hero he saw worthy to kill him. What Stain seemed to largely go for were heroes who had selfish ideals, who wanted to be a hero for reasons other than helping people. Heroes like Endeavor who just want to be the best, or heroes like Tensei who have large hero companies that they run which in Stains eyes makes them seem money hungry. We see through Tenya's flashback though that his brother was anything but a money hungry hero though, which is why Stains ideals or at least how he determines someones worth as a hero is flawed.
Stain is like the Religious fanatics the go, live by our very stict interpretation of our repletion or die. the fact the is something good at the core of the religion, does change the fanatic is perverting it
Justin DiNardo Tensei wants to be a hero because heroes are cool, and it's the family business. Stain is a great villain because he's objectively right about ALMOST everything.
Stain is objectivity wrong about every thing His purity of hero or death rule out killing a lot of Good heroes just becuase they not indpenditly wealthy
Tenya was struck down because he was weak and he more a cop than a "hero". But he wasnt that bad so stain let him live.
Stain's ideal hero are the ones who are strong and are true to the idea of selflessly saving people. Iida's brother lost to him, so he thinks he's not worthy to be a hero. Unlike Midoriya, who spoke highly of All Might's ideals and also held his own against Stain.
In Japan, they use ropes for their trash disposal. So that explains why they just randomly found one in a back alley.
The one thing the sub does a LITTLE bit better in this episode is in Midoriya's voice over at the end. Instead of saying "Only the Hero Killer had any fight left" he says "only the Hero Killer stood up to face his enemies." That really establishes more clearly that while everyone else COULD have fought, Stain was the only one pushing forward ready to die if he had to.
4:43-4:49 I love the way he screamed it gave me so many chills
To Note - Endeavor and Todoroki have to regulate their flames cause it heats up their bodies. Endeavor cant use his powers for too long at a higher capacity which was his motivation for making Shoto have the ice power as well to make him the perfect hero who can regulate his body temp by using both quirks.
I'm glad they realized how Stain's quirk isn't crazy powerful and that his actual training/tenacity is what really makes him strong.
blindwave crew maybe this will help yeah understand why stain targeted Iida brother, having the intent to save people for no reward is half of stains qualification for being a proper hero, the other half is having the strength to back up those ideals so for example the shock student while he wants to be a hero he would be considered unworthy because he isnt strong enough or skilled enough with his quirk yet, shoto demonstrated strength with his quirk skill by saving izaku and Iida while keeping stain on the back foot.
PS: not a spoiler for this anime stains face is explained in the spinoff, it had nothing to do with endeavor he just sees him as a fake because hes just a hero to be at the top. But stain ended up cutting off his own nose after being fuckedup when his face got smashed in by a vigilante to commit to his stain identity instead of his former civilian life.
Billy, spoiling other manga is still spoiling so put some space and explain what its a spoiler for.
Gave a full disclosure in the first line of the PS message you spoiled yourself "not a spoiler for this anime"
Billryethejewishguy People can still accidentally read it. He means make it so you have to read more.
Stain's rage at Endeavour is more about Endeavour having a notoriously selfish and mean-spirited public personae, even without knowing what he did to his own family. Also, Endeavour didn't burn off Stain's nose. In the spin-off manga, Vigilantes, we get to see Stain's origins. He cuts off his own nose after it gets destroyed by a brass knuckle punch.
Oh nice! As soon as i check you upload! Great stuff! This episode is awesome!
18:49 No stain actually wasn’t burned by endeavor the story behind stains face is explained in a spinoff manga about stain. He actually was trying to fight a hero named Knuckleduster and basically Knuckleduster punched him so fucking hard in the face that stain had to cut his own nose off from how damaged his face was.
the backpack that todoroki is carrying (that flat thing in his back and around his arms) was made to regulate his body temperature (was explained in an extra manga chapter i think?), also sorry for my bad english
Ida's brother was attacked most likely because he viewed being a hero as someone who is cool. In a sense, he is doing it for the popularity. All might is a hero because he wants to save people. No fame or fortune influenced him
So no one is telling them about this? This is a trivia that Horikoshi added in the comic for the extra pages (after he's out of idea for character profile and costume infographics); I hope Rob can tell the guys cause I'm interested to hear what they think about this-
The winged Noumu that grabbed Deku is the winged kid that bullied Deku in the very first episode.
Stain has that whole Handsome Jack thing, no matter what he does he still thinks he's like the good guy in the story
“Abuse isn’t torture.” -Shane Farley, 2018
This episode showed why endeavor is the #2 hero he's actually pretty lit in combat ;)
I think the reason why Stain was going after Tensei was because Tensei runs an agency that he makes money from. Stain believes that Heros shouldn't be paid, which is why he went after him. And All Might while being the number one hero doesn't have an agency, he isn't making money from being a hero so I think that's why Stain considers All Might to be a worthy hero. Also for Endeavors quirk new information has been given in the manga that explains that as Endeavor uses his quirk his body temperature goes up, and it reduces his body's functions. Which is why Endeavor wanted to make have a child with both a fire quirk and an ice quirk so, that his child (Shoto in this case) can have a quirk that negates this flaw in the fire quirk.
Still can’t believe Kohei Hirokoshi confirmed that the Nomu that took Izuku was the winged kid in episode 1.
Not sure if many saw but Stain was about to cut Todoroki's arm off before Iida stepped in
Thats the reason why he marries ice quirk so his children's wont suffer from overheating but only shoto got the quirk that he dream of. Thats why shoto is the fav child
