Fun fact, this was actually turned into a big meme in the fandom. “Breaking news! Local child discovers he has more bones to break! Midoriya says “They were here the whole time!””

Iida and Hatsume is a dynamic we simply DO NOT get enough of in this series. 😂 They have such a great "order meets chaos" dynamic that is ALWAYS fun to watch.

Hatsume is genuinely brillaint, and that's even more impressive considering her age. She has even more impressive inventions than the one she made this episode, but she came up with an invention and modification that basically made it possible for Deku to continue his education as a hero.

I've always loved that All Might starts reading that teaching book. Too many people think that being great at something means you'll be great at teaching it to others. This show really understands that teaching is its own skillset. Gran Torino even calls him out: "He may be the world's greatest hero but in terms of teaching he's a total novice."

Local hero discovers legs.

i always find funny when midoriya figures he can kick

I think my favorite side detail from the Manga is that Ectoplasm is the Math teacher lol.

Everyone's Ultimate Moves we see in this episode are cool, but Tokoyami's might be my favorite. WEARING Dark Shadow is such an awesome concept, both aesthetically and in practice.

When Montana says "individuality is the greatest quirk of all" without knowing that the direct translation of the manga calls quirks individualities 🤯

I do like how this episode quietly shows how good some of the other UA teachers are. Power Loader is trying to keep Hatsume in check BUT trying not to crush her at the same time because he respects how much potential she has. And Ectoplasm gives an entire class (good) one-on-one guidance at the same time. He also provides an interesting example for Deku. If you look closely you realize that Ectoplasm has lost his legs, he uses a simple but sturdy set of pegs when in combat. This simultaneously shows Deku the risks of trying to keep using his arms, a reminder to the students it CAN happen to them and that they shouldn't have any lingering denial that they won't end up that way, but also shows such a thing is not necessarily a game ender and one can adapt in different ways.

If you watch the intros in order... it begins with Izuku watching All Might from afar. Then as they move on, he moves up to All Might, then steps in front of him, and now he only appears briefly to push him forward, and a glimpse of Small Might. :D It's really poetic, in a way.

People really likes to do the joke of Deku noticing that he has legs. But it's logical. Deku is not a trained fighter. He doesn't know any form of martial arts. Until now he only used punches (not only because he was doing as All Might) because he was inexperienced. Every time I have seen some (that didn't know how to fight)person trying to fight, they uses punches because they are more natural.

Hatsume is one of my favorite characters in this show. The energy she brings when she's on screen is infectious. Alexis Tipton is one of my favorite voice actresses, and this role is no exception

Local teen finds out he has legs

Montana is to Endeavor as Kenny is to Old Man McGuckett

Such an epic moment when Midoriya remembers that, aside from punching, he can also kick stuff.

14:50 “She could use a hammer…” The problem with this idea is that she has to touch her fingertips together to release her quirk. She could throw the hammer and then do it, but she’d be disarming herself every time she used it that way. If she just tried to hit someone with it, it might as well make a boop noise lol.

In Japan, a style of western submission wrestling is called "Shoot Wrestling," derived from the wrestling term "shoot," which refers to live wrestling as opposed to scripted exchanges. From there, various shoot styles have evolved, such as shootboxing, shooto, and shootfighting. I don't know if this is a coincidence, or whether the creator was inspired by the term.

Just want to give a huge thank you for straightening the background plaque and sign. I’ve felt bad since I left a comment about it being slanted. I personally struggle with stuff like that distracting me and I appreciate the work you guys put in!

I bet Deku would be a killer player in either soccer or football😊

We’re starting the provisional license arc now! We’ve officially winded down into MHA’s norm from what this season has done thus far. And I mean that in a good way. There’s as always MASSIVE amounts of growth for literally everyone on screen and that never stops. Ok before we get into any further analysis this is my favorite intro as far as music goes. It just hits right. It’s probably the one I listen to most. Deku waking up with an even greater pressure on his shoulders as he knows he’s forced to stand tall in absence of All-Might the symbol of peace is scary. How does this kid keep getting MORE pressure?! (And we aren’t even accounting what All-Might has YET to say to Deku) Also. Just HAS to cut into Iida brushing his teeth. That man makes air RUE the day they wandered near his elbow to his fingertip zone. The Ultimate Move concept is just yet ANOTHER fantastic addition to the MHA quirk system. Thinking about how people maximize their strength in an instant through their quirks to get higher performance. Just GREAT. But if you listen carefully, it’s even better. They mark how you need to use a maximum burst of sorts to put an end to fights quickly. So that means it’s a high risk high reward as well. It’s RARE to use an ultimate move and NOT bring out your quirk recoil in some way shape or form. So it’s not a go to solution either. Looking at Iida’s recipro, yes he bursts and gets amped speeds, but he runs out of fuel SECONDS later. And it’s why I wish Aizawa says to everyone go plus ultra, and tells Deku, please just go plus effort. Because there’s a VERY easy ultimate move for him. And it’s called “I DON’T NEED MY ARMS PUNCH!” (Also Uraraka says she wants to up her mobility with her new move. What new insanity is THAT going to be) Each and every person has a method of development and a unique system that goes with their quirk. Increasing potency of Mina’s acid is a great one because if she does succeed, the opposite holds true as well. She can DECREASE the potency. If Momo makes 2 creations at once, who is to say she can’t make dozens at once or stacks them? If Ojiro’s Tail can get that jacked, can the REST of his body be equally jacked? (And if so, oh my god Ojiro might end up looking like Muscle All-Might or Endeavor size.) And it’s really not hard to advance how these kids might evolve. The possibilities are practically endless. Then we got All-Might. I wanted to make sure I clarified my position on what happened to him in his Last Stand. (And that rescue mission stretch is called All-Might’s Last Stand) I think All-Might has physically lost the ability to bring stockpile energy into his body and maintain it. The stockpile energy does NOT appear to have gone anywhere. Today is the 1st time Deku uses OFA with All-Might unable to use OFA himself properly. And Deku doesn’t appear to be 60 TIMES stronger and All-Might still has his muscle form. So he might just be holding the true energy level for Deku til he’s ready. (Intentionally or unintentionally I’m unsure.) Safe move regardless. If Deku got the prime NOW he would nuke the training field at 5% and I DON’T think the kids, OR THE TEACHERS could handle that jump. So that’s an interesting development. And of COURSE All-Might finding some advice to give to everyone is the class like a proper teacher (even if it’s from a LITERAL “For Dummies” book.) and STILL finds the worst advice for Deku. I get the sentiment. But when your successor is going to have the capacity to cause MASSIVE natural disasters in the blink of an eye willingly or unwillingly, you MIGHT want to find good methods when wild energy goes flying out of him when he tries any other power level. Regardless what limb he decides to use. We also have the return of Mei Hatsume. And Uraraka is NOT having it. She is INCREDIBLY overprotective of Deku in this scene. Because although Mei hasn’t realized it, she is in the presence of BOTH guys she wants to be around more than any other for gadgets. She’s got literal Car Man in SERIOUS need of oil in his arms and Mr in desperate need of a walking hospital bed. And as she realizes it in real time everyone is regretting their decisions in life as they become test subjects. (Oh and this is the ONE time I think Deku might be overreacting for that mech armor that hurt his spine. Does he not recall All-Might’s butt literally made him sound like stepping on an empty water bottle? Either that or it’s lingering of THAT injury. In which case fair) I’m listening to Power Loader talk about the design company for gadgets and paperwork submissions and that is CRAZY attention to detail on what you’d be authorized to use on the field since all the costumes are often large factors on the kids function in the field...with even added weapons too. I wish I could speak in detail on that but quite honestly I think Power Loader just scooped up some real world into their world. I can’t elaborate more than literal technicians and safety checks. Hey, you got an actual wholesome Mineta moment without snark. Mineta actually sounds like wants Deku to go for a better costume and there’s lots he can go for. Even though always wearing what is based on the original costume his mom got him is simply too sentimental. But the new braces look good. And Deku has chosen his new style. Shoot Style! Deku is going full acrobat. He has amped up speed from the training camp and has armor around his body. At the end of the day, your legs have more muscle than your arms. It’s not a bad approach. Bakugo fries through several feet of concrete in an instant, and Deku can literally CRUSH what remains. I wish he came up with this in a way that DIDN’T make him look like he remembered he has two other limbs he simply doesn’t use much. But that’s just a nitpick. This episode is IMMENSELY satisfying to watch and come back to. The Provisional License arc is actually one I’m VERY fond of. Next time, we see the fruits of their labor.

Local boy finds new bones to break.

17:58 I don't remember if it's covered in the anime later or not but the costume regulations are also because Hero society as a whole have to make sure that the costumes are appropriate for the public. **See Midnight's first costume for more details** 😒

For anyone who missed the running gag; TDL = Tokyo Disneyland.

The joke about the gym's name is that its initials are the same as Tokyo Disney Land's initials

Omfg Kenny that's a smart idea urauka could literally walk around with a chained wrecking ball like it's a balloon and swing it and release her power so it can make contact and have gravity pull it's weight back down 🤩🔥 14:50

Midoriya kicking on the opening song is an actual spoiler 😂

I have always wondered why the heck he calls it Shoots style and a quick google said it'S a japanese Term for general MMA Fighting, so he just calls it "not-belonging-to-a-specific-Category-of-fight-technique-"-Style

19:23 "I'd like to point out that that test pilot survived." - Justin Hammer, Hammer Industries.

Can’t wait to see how endeavor grows on Montana these next couple seasons

The thing about the hammer Uraraka would have to continually use her quirk to carry the hammer she already has a hard time making other people float 😂

Ah yes… the episode Deku remembers he has feet..

Fun fact for the future if she reads these: the kids frozen mid air in the intro is actually them cheering from passing the exam in the arc

6:55 If you don't get it the joke is that in Japan USJ is known as Universal Studios Japan while TDL is Tokyo Disneyland.

The new ATLA live action trailer came out!

15:24 Took my sides out 💀

Local man realizes he has legs

THE COSTUME IS A GIFT FROM HIS MOM?!?!?? I’m actually crying

The problem with that idea for Uraraka’s ultimate move is that to release the anti gravity she HAS to touch the tips of her fingers together. Can’t do that and hold a hammer.

They say the author is fan of Gai and Lee and in this episode it make sense, if you play any Naruto fighting game, Lee's techniques are leg base from Gai's.

"individuality is the greatest quirk of them all" does she know?!?!?!?

Gun Regulations in the United States: Federal Oversight: Gun regulations in the U.S. are a combination of federal and state laws. The Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF) enforces federal laws related to firearms. Background Checks: Federal law mandates background checks for all firearm purchases from licensed dealers. This is to ensure that the buyer is not prohibited from owning a firearm due to factors like criminal history or mental health issues. Prohibited Persons: Certain individuals are barred from owning firearms, including convicted felons, individuals with domestic violence convictions, and those with specific mental health issues. Age Restrictions: Federal law prohibits the sale of handguns to individuals under 21 and the sale of long guns (rifles and shotguns) to those under 18. Waiting Periods: Some states impose waiting periods between the purchase and delivery of a firearm, allowing time for background checks. Concealed Carry Permits: Many states require a permit to carry a concealed weapon. The criteria for obtaining a permit can vary, including factors like completion of training courses. Assault Weapons: While there is no federal ban on assault weapons, some states have implemented their own restrictions on the sale and possession of certain types of firearms. Gun Registration: The U.S. does not have a national firearm registry, but some states have requirements for registering firearms. It's important to note that gun regulations can vary significantly from state to state, with some states having more stringent regulations than others. Additionally, debates and discussions on gun control are ongoing, addressing issues such as background check loopholes, the sale of high-capacity magazines, and restrictions on certain types of firearms. The regulatory landscape is subject to change, and individuals are encouraged to stay informed about the specific laws in their state.

9:31 Fun fact: Ectoplasm and Ojiro have the same voice actor (Mike McFarlane)

Didn't something similar to the body suit almost breaking deku's spine happen in ironman 2 when they tried to replicate the suit in another country

Hatsume's awesome😭🤣

21:50 Deku: I HAVE LEGS!!

2:52 definitely my 3rd favorite opening

"get him out of here" Montanna's not going to like the redemption arc endeavor gets later on is she?

I’m glad to hear them mention how underrated the opening is. It’s always been one of my favorites for sure. Sadly it’s for a filler arc, but it’s not insultingly devoid of content 😂 I can’t wait for bakugo vs deku (chill theyve seen it on patreon) and season 4

Midoriya unlocks: 2 new limbs to break.

*NOT me screaming and kicking when baku did his AP shot*

This intro was a favorite for a while until No.1 by D!sh came out. Really underrated.

Every time I see Hatsume, she reminds me of Girl Genius. Imagine a whole cast of heroes and villains like her wrecking most of Victorian Europe. Very mild spoiler: Deku should get kicking advice from Mirko (one of my favorite pros).

She understood bruh lol

One of the reasons I prefer the sub is because of the word Smash. In English, the one syllable means you have to drag out the a, eg. Smaaaaaaaaaaash. While in Japanese the word smash had three syllables, se-ma-she, making lengthening the word much less awkward.

1 of the best arcs coming up.

I wouldn’t say Deku has negative Riz. I’d say it’s just…unconventional.

I forgot how good this intro

Um....is it strange that i find it weird that einstein is in the MHA universe's history? Like, not some fictional genius, just straight-up einstein?

29:15 *Kirishima sobbing noises*

Good fact

I wish you guys could put like three or four out a week. Can’t wait till you guys make it to season four. Would not mind if you guys did a reaction to one punch man. Now that show is amazing.

TAYLOR SWIFT MERCH?? PANSEXUAL PANICC OML

3/14/2024/7:34PM

Sweet, sweet Montana, I love her hate for Endeavor. Mostly cause that was me watching MHA, and he should be hated. Hating him thought didn't prepare me, and I'm excited to see how things go for Montana's turn viewing.

Let’s gooooooooo

will we have the movie 1 here on youtube?

Midnight simp counter? Lmao

Hey can you react to Dr.stone? BTW love you videos!

Guns are regulated, you have to have them registered have a background down, and more, that said I can text the right guy and have a gun by midnight for you 100$ criminals don’t care stop blaming the system for gun violence

Kick it 😀- Montana 2024

Happy

So dumb. He just realized he can kick?

This is another one of the shows low points for me. Deku's entire special move is "stop being a complete dumbass". I mean for crying out loud the FIRST time he used his quirk WAS with his legs. It is incomprehensibly stupid that he didnt consider kicking for this long. Additionally, AP shot shouldnt even work as a concept, since Bakugo shaping the explosion would not change it's nature nor focus it's blast. The physical properties of his explosions are inherently fixed and unchangeable because they come explicitly from the ignition of his sweat via heat from his palms (which also makes it stupid that his costume has gloves of any kind for the record). Since the chemical nature of his sweat cannot be changed, neither can the makeup of the blasts. The second it moved past the opening made by his hand it should expand as normal because it contains all the same physical properties of a normal blast. The fact that it not only stays focused, but suddenly becomes a beam for no reason is some of the worst writing i have ever seen. I expect any author to be consistent in their writing, anime/manga does not get a pass on that. This show has some high highs, but unfortunately its lows are just as low.

Probably shouldn't involve yourself in which you are ignorant of, like guns. Especially while just being a reaction channel

20:34 it is the most basic idea ever, i honesto feel embarcas that the show makes so much enfasid on it as if ir was a revolutionary idea

Noice

This was such a disappointing reveal for me, everybody has such awesome powers or even if they're not that impressive, at least they had somethig to do with their powers Kicking instead of punching is such a lame realization, i feel like the flicking attack is much more interesting than just kicking with one for all
