But this season's arc digs into Shigaraki's feud with Re-Destro, leader of the Metahuman Liberation Army. Their enemies are always busy scheming: According to Crunchyroll, Shigaraki - who's arguably still U.A.'s biggest hater - bumps heads with another cohort of bad guys.īakugo, Todoroki and Deku are doing their internship at Endeavor's agency, with Deku learning more about Blackwhip, his new quirk. It’s the final scenes here where we see the reflection and regrouping process these characters go through that takes this episode from being cool action to actually being another excellent building block in this story.The final trailer for My Hero Academia's sixth season gave fans a glimpse of what's to come for Deku and the rest of the heroes. We also spend some time with Iida and his family in the hospital before we head back to the classroom and the students are told they have a couple of days off class. Even if he wants to be a better hero which is kind of arguably a good thing. This allows us to see the true personality of someone who strives to be better than other at any cost. Bakugo isn’t hindered by the usual constraints put on protagonists because he isn’t the protagonist. A lot of characters say they want to be the best but they almost always succumb to being ‘nice’ or helping others. He might be a socially inept, explosively angry, bully at times but his genuine drive to always be the best is kind of admirable. That kid does not know when to just let something go and I kind of love him for it. We have an award ceremony where All Might shows once again he is a giant dork yet everyone loves him. So, if all that happens in 12 minutes what happens for the rest of the episode? He actually looks really peaceful when he’s unconscious. I was kind of glad when they knocked him out before declaring him the winner.
It means Bakugo has convincingly won the tournament but it means his actual victory, showing that he is better than Midoriya, has been snatched from his grasp. A lifetime of trauma doesn’t just vanish because of one fight and a pep talk.īefore Bakugo’s attack even reaches him, Todoroki has conceded defeat and his flames have gone out. He actually does start bringing out his flames after Midoriya calls out from the stands, and then… Well then reality kicks in. He is hearing Midoriya’s words from their fight and logically he understands their meaning and knows the truth of it. He wants to win and he knows he needs to use his left side. Todoroki on the other hand is emotionally torn in two. He isn’t given to keeping his feelings to himself. Once again, Midoriya has beaten him at his own self-imposed standard and that is killing him just a little bit inside. No, Bakugo is angry at himself and the situation. I’m somehow doubting Bakugo has actually seen Todoroki as a person yet given I don’t think he’s used his name once. Almost manic would probably be the best descriptor. Getting the audience invested in the participants, having some emotional drive, and hitting hard and fast, that is going to knock the audience back in their chairs and have them wondering how many times they can watch it before the internet crashes.īakugo is angry for most of this fight. Stretching a fight over three, four, five episodes (half a season) does not make it more powerful. I think all the big shonen titles of the last twenty years could take a lesson from this. This fight was short but really, really intense.
Are we sure that Bakugo isn’t secretly evil?
