@@natsuotodoroki Nah, if you legitimately hate Endeavor and you're caught up? You don't understand how to appreciate a really well written character who is trying to atone for everything.
@@aaronyayger Oh I know how to appreciate someone atoning for everything. It’s a real shame Endeavor does hardly anything to actually atone. Aside from paying for another house, there’s nothing else he’s actually gone out of his way to do for the sake of atoning.
Man, the sentence "to be a hero is to help your ennemy" is so important right now in the manga. Like i'd say there is no quote that better explains the story at this point
This solidified MHA for me... prob my 2nd fav fight aside from Endeavor's... I really want to see if Nick will grow to like Endeavor's written character in the future like for Bakugou...
It’s hard to say since Endeavor’s character starts off super strong but then his writing kind of becomes terrible not long after. I still think that fight is amazing though. It’s not particularly well-written in hindsight, but it’s still super good ngl
@@crocoboi7936 No spoilers, but I stopped liking him when growing as a person was treated as more of an afterthought. It more so just became him being a good pro hero while feeling bad without much actual growth on his part.
fr but most knew that dabi was a todoroki from the start like me... his hate for endeavor and for shoto callng him his little "Masterpiece" and both fire related... it was just like Avatar the last airbender the sister(Azula) in this case Dabi(Touya) has blue fire fighting for the dad's love one wants to rebel and one wants the love
@@aiz_7873 I can't stand Dabi's character. Other people really enjoyed that episode, while I felt like his reason for being a mass murderer was too tame. Dabi is kind of a big cry baby.
24:14 That is the perfect way of describing how great MHA is. Its really meant for a certain audience. People like me and you nick, and everyone else here can devour the greatness that is MHA!!!
I agree. It’s the emotions that are conveyed during so many different moments. I always end up crying and it just makes me like the show more and more.
Nick, thank you so much for reacting to this series. This anime is one of my favourites and has helped through so much through life, and to see someone finally giving it praise for the tones and emotions involved in the series - it's so refreshing and incredible to watch. Never change who you are!
this episode, of all things in anime, sticks in my head the most. I know i'm not alone in saying i imagine vivid fights while listening to music, and the characters within them are molded by pretty much every bit of anime and game and movie i've seen-- but the number one influence in how i visualize has to be two moments showing Todoroki. it's the part where he's courched down, letting loose ice from his leg and fire from his arm, and the part where he slowly stretches his arm forward with a jetstream of flame trailing behind him like an aerodynamics test. I don't know if there's a more specific reason, but it just masters the visual artform to express so viscerally the idea of "power" and "strength". like an unstoppable force, be it the inexorable creeping of an iceberg (because, yes, they do move if they're on land), or an immutable tide of flame and ash
I always come back to these episodes 😭 something about them puts me deep in the feels and it’s always in a good way and it’s crazy how nick got so emotional on todoroki’s backstory that his contact came out and he looked like him 😂
MHA🫶 will forever have a place in my heart. One of my first animes and so many good and relatable characters even being a shounen. And no matter how many times I rewatch this fight. It always brings tears to my eyes, also because I can somewhat relate to Shoto.
@@unnamed6864 I think a lot of fans forget that many of the characters are still high school freshmen/sophomores who are still growing and learning...nothing wrong with character growth and world building, many successful series do that and deliver later. It rewards the keen observer the more you rewatch. I still find new info and ideas the more I rewatch this series and reread the books.
I've been so excited for you to get to these episodes. S2 E10 is one of my favorite episodes of anything ever. And I knew with how much you already liked Todoroki that you were gonna love it. He's also my favorite, he has such a good arc
What season are you linking this comment to? I've only watched all of 4. Rewatching atm and 10 episodes away from season 5. When does your comment come into play?
@@xandergonefar3650 *If I’m being honest, I wasn’t referring to any one specific moment. It’s just that a lot of good is done by Todoroki and he heals a lot more.*
@@xandergonefar3650 If it wasn't for this moment, Todoroki wouldn't be as strong as he NEEDS to be. Him accepting his other half is necessary for him to grow strong enough to be relevant in later fights.
The SHOTO! scream from Endeavor is one of my favorite things in the show. It's so over the top and his voice actor is one of the reasons I suggest the sub vs the dub for this anime cause he really does give 110% or to be more on brand for the show he goes Plus Ultra!
The reason this show has such an insane fandom is because it's so well done. Some seasons aren't as good as others, but by the latest season they stick the landing all over again (in my opinion).
my little cousin is currently cackling like a maniac but ain't got no time for that because THE BEST FIGHTS ARE FINALLY HEREEEEEEEEE 2:50 his brain consciously halting at every character design is the highlight of these episodes 5:30 he went from low-key hating her parents to crying when they showed us their faces, now that's character growth😭 12:33 Nicholas with the foresight quirk Todoroki's backstory was so tragic, his contacts fell off. Deku watch out, you have competition in the waterworks department. 24:15 spitting FACTS Nicholas has golden commentary, hands down. This episode was a long time waiting but it was so worth it, pre-watched or not, I can't care less when he gives us these amazing and hilarious reactions. He jokes a lot but he actually pays the most attention to details, be it lore-wise, animation, or music. That's something to appreciate. Him being in awe about minor details like the Todoroki tear or how Bakugo charges up his attacks, shows that he genuinely enjoys the show. Thank you for giving this series a chance, your MHA uploads always make my day!!
I know this might be off topic regarding the video itself but I would like to see you react to some of my personal favourite openings: - Blue Exorcist Opening 1 and 2 - Grand Blue - Seven Deadly Sins 1st opening And maybe for a change maybe some video game music - Bury the light from Devil May Cry 5 - Devil Trigger from Devil May Cry 5 - Subhuman from Devil May Cry 5 - The Only Thing I know from Metal Gear Rising Revengeance
The Shoto fight is definitely one of the ones I look forward to seeing a reaction to most when someone new starts the series. The music placement, the fight itself, and the show having the absolute balls to go "Yeah, our main character is going to lose this one for a better purpose in an earlier round than the finals" is just incredible.
because the first 2 seasons were amazing and even the third but after its actually horrendus the amount of filler u get and theirs no good fights after until sesason 7 last episdoe the war arc
@@Hasm14 fr, season 5 was the only one that's kinda boring for most parts. And season 6, although it lacks the quality animation of the first few seasons, was still peak!
Bakugou respected the hell out of Uraraka in their fight. One detail no one seems to catch is how everyone is talking about how much of a slaughter the fight will be but we see Bakugou taking it very serious and going to his prep room to get ready. He took it just as serious as any fight he had and held nothing back against her. I really love those small details of who he is underneath all that rage
It's so nice to see someone exposed to this for the first time without it being spoiled for them. The mIdorya vs todoroki fight cemented my love for this show too. I cannot wait for you to see what's coming.
a clarification; When Endevour said he put his wife in the hospital, it wasn't for hitting her, it was because her actions towards Shoto meant she needed psychiatric treatment. The first time I also thought he hit her LOL
