My Hero Academia: From Quirkless Fanboy to Symbol of Hope

What if a Quirkless kid could change not just himself, but an entire system built on power? We go all-in on My Hero Academia, charting a ten-year run that evolves from entrance exams and classroom duels into a hard look at institutions, ideals, and the price of becoming a symbol. We start with the spark—Deku’s worthiness, All Might’s mask, and why that first “You can be a hero” still hits—then follow the fuse through the sports festival, Stain’s critique, and the moment admiration turns into intention.

The middle chapters raise the stakes and the questions. Overhaul’s use of Eri, Lemillion’s sacrifice, and Endeavor’s Prominence Burn test what heroism looks like when smiling isn’t enough. The war arc blows the doors off: Mirko’s charge, Hawks and Twice’s irreconcilable truths, Dabi’s televised confession, and a society that stops believing. Deku’s vigilante stretch becomes a mirror—strategy sharpened by exhaustion, compassion strained by isolation—until Class 1A drags him back, not with punches, but with proof that heroes stand together or not at all.

We dig into late-game pivots and payoffs. Star and Stripe’s last move, the UA traitor reveal, and Toga’s final choice reveal the engine beneath the spectacle: people shaped by neglect, incentives, and myths. The films get their due—Two Heroes’ mentorship, Heroes Rising’s “what if the torch moved,” World Heroes’ Mission’s global stakes, and a “You’re Next” pretender who misunderstands what makes a symbol real. Finally, we unpack the ending: Deku’s decision to give power away, the difference between peace and hope, and why a single stranger taking a child’s hand might be the bravest image in the series.

SPEAKER_04: 0:01

What up, gang, nerds and nerds? It is time that we finally review My Hero Academia. And man, let me tell you, it's been one hell of a decade. This anime, this series just came so far from just being the show about okay, a bunch of heroes and this one kid, he gains powers and he's trying to be just like his idol, but there's like way more to it than that. But let's just go ahead and zone in on it. And before I get started, Professor Tuck Hero, I thank you for being off with me because this is gonna be one hell of a ride. We got eight seasons and four movies. So let's start with the first four and the first two movies, and we might take a break and then come back later. Hopefully, we'll have Semi Phantom on for that. So, season one, aka How to Train Your Hero. Deku is to all me, I feel like Deku is to All Might as Steve Rogers is to Dr. Earth sign in the first movie. You know, like the ordinary guy with a righteous heart worthy of possessing a power that some people would kill for. And I don't blame Deku for crying his high as out when All Might validated him. Because when you lived a life where people counted you out, what would you do if your idol told you that you have potential? Like, what would you do? Oh, I'm gonna be honest with you, season one, I'm I'm probably gonna have the least amount to say about season one. But after I say what I got to say about season one, I'm gonna open it up to the camera. Jekku had to train his body for 10 months before inheriting one for all. And on top of having physical limitations, having the power, would you say Jeku is a Mary Sue? I wouldn't. Because the fact that he had to train his body, like not just the 10 months, but like afterwards, he had to be constantly training and had to learn his body. I wouldn't call him, he's definitely overpowered, but I wouldn't call him a Mary Sue. Like, I almost say he did earn that power, even though he struggled with like, am I really worthy of Wheel of the One for All? I'm like, yes, you are. You are. Uh my favorite characters from Class 1A, like it might change up by the time we do part two. But so far, I want to say Death, who's obviously my main boy. Uh Todoroki, Yayarozu, uh, Oswe, you know, Frappy, uh, Uraraka, and Tokuyami, uh, Dark Shadow. Those are my favorite characters for reasons that I'm gonna get into as we go along in the rest of the series. But uh mainly with season one, it was about the entrance exam. Isa was hazing of the students, mainly Vidoria. Uh, All Might's class exercise with heroes versus villains, uh, and then Shiga Rock and the League of Villains show up to try to uh find the try to either take out all my or you know the wheel to on one for all however it goes. But yeah. So starting with Professor Tuck, since I know this is your show, I know you've been wanting to talk about My Hero Idea Academia for a while. How you feeling about season one?

SPEAKER_01: 3:36

Season one, my hero academia. This was peak as it first premiered. Let's digress a little bit. Before it even premiered, I was reading about this show, right? That it was coming out, that it got green lit for production. And the what I was reading into was the creator and how he uh was very into like Marvel and the different characters associated with it, so much so that he made his characters based off of uh different shows that he liked, different movies that he liked, different characters that he liked from the Marvel Cinematic Universe. Um and one character stuck out to me the most, and it was of course Sarah. Sarah based off of Spider-Man, and it was such a thrill to see throughout the progression, throughout all of the seasons, as the character developed and coming to their own. Because most of the time, most of the main characters get development, and the side characters just get they might get randomly uh grown up. The characters progressing with the main character is what truly makes this show blossom. So season one, um I whenever I recommend this show to people. First, I ask them about like what do they like to watch. If they like something that got heroes in it, if they like something that needs detectives, like you watch a lot of crime-related shows, law and order, things like that. But if it works with them, I tell them this is what I need you to do. Watch the first four episodes. If you don't like it, stop watching. If you do like it, go ahead and continue. Because the first four episodes are peak. You start out with episode one, it's describing who the main character is and what his motivation is. Episode two, he gets to meet. Well, he's not in episode one, but episode two, he gets to meet his idol, and his idol gets to understand who he is as a person. Then into episode three, where he gets the test, the initial arc as a hero, and then moving up to episode four, where it will you'll either have you hooked or it won't grab you. Episode four um is when he's using his powers, you know what I mean? He's using his powers, he's showcasing who he is and what he'll be. Even Isawa says this kid beginning episode five, I think it was um, and it just showcases who he is as a character and why he strives to work hard as he does. The just throwing a simple ball and having to use his squirk from a previous episode ago when you know his whole hand got destroyed. And then just progressing the mental fortitude it takes to progress in that short amount of time and to do it with without even trying to think about it. You know, people just typically um let's go, Harry Potter. There's a quote by Domador that I really love. He says that power is best thrusted among those who don't want it because they seem to wear it well. And that's Declar. That's Izuku Midoriya. He wanted power for the sake of helping others, not for the sake of power. And that's what that's what makes him a true hero. No matter, no matter what you watch or what you see, it's always him being a true hero in every sense of the word. And that's what season one means. Yep, that's true. That's what season one is, man. And I really love this show. I got a tattoo of Deku and All Might Boy Reason on my chest. Third greatest show of all time to me.

SPEAKER_04: 7:18

Okay, okay. I'm like, I know Nerd was up there, but I'm trying to think. You know what? I I think I got it. Yeah, yeah. I think he I knew Nerds was up there, but I'm like thinking, okay, three. I'm like, what's the thing?

SPEAKER_01: 7:30

Full Metal Alchemist Brotherhood, man.

SPEAKER_04: 7:32

Okay, fair enough, fair enough. I I see you, I see you, okay, okay.

SPEAKER_01: 7:35

It's a toss-up, but yeah, full metal alchemist brotherhood, man.

SPEAKER_04: 7:39

Bro, that's like the most solid anime out there. I'm like, bro, like, who doesn't like full metal alchemist brotherhood? Like, it it was like damn near the perfect anime, like there was like literally nothing wrong with the anime.

SPEAKER_01: 7:53

And I was watching Full Metal Alchemist, and I was like, bro, this is so confusing. Why they told me to watch this show? He said, Oh man, I told you the wrong one. Brotherhood. Brotherhood.

SPEAKER_04: 8:04

No, that's one is the one that's closest to the manga.

SPEAKER_01: 8:08

Yeah, it's like I I understand it now, but yeah. Um, some of my favorite characters gotta be um Uru Raka. I just love her quirk, and it's watching them progress is good too. Uh, I like Froppy too. Um, yeah, all the female characters are pretty dope. I I like the emphasis on the female characters without making them overly like sexual. Well, you know, not midnight, but you know.

SPEAKER_04: 8:36

I mean, okay, I like that you said that because first of all, I'm gonna be honest with you, even though I like the mindset Yaya Rose would have, I'm like, I'm gonna be real with you. I I'm digging the character design. What can I say? Especially the way she you the way she used her power sometimes, where it's like, all right, uh, don't look, but I'm gonna have to use my quick real quick.

SPEAKER_01: 9:02

That's how I'm about Mount Lady, bro. You can make any part of your body bigger. Facts.

SPEAKER_04: 9:09

And she is not oblivious to the sex appeal that she had. Like if from jump episode one, when she saved uh the town from that giant villain, and she was like, Yeah, just to that thing, yeah.

SPEAKER_01: 9:24

They they were just snapping picks too. Yeah, money shot, money shot, money shot, money shot.

SPEAKER_04: 9:30

Yeah, but uh, is that all you got on season one?

SPEAKER_01: 9:36

Yeah, that's all I got on season one. Uh I mean we can progress through it's so many different things to talk about, in it, but we'll be here for five hours.

SPEAKER_04: 9:45

Yeah, that's why we're trying to go ahead and speed up because we got things to do and plans and all this just like going on. But uh, Hero of Pandragon, first of all, I am so glad that you're back on the podcast because it's like a blue moon every time you pop on the podcast, and it's always a special occasion for me. So, how are you feeling about season one of my hero?

SPEAKER_03: 10:08

Uh, my feelings so far when I pretty much when I watched it the first time around, um, obviously in the anime style, you can definitely tell there was a lot of the comic book inspirational stuff that went into it. And that's definitely the first thing that you know I saw about that and I pretty much loved it immediately. And uh pretty much about Deku, I he he was a favorite character already off of First Jump and introducing him because it's like you know, a kid who is corkless, essentially no powers, and of course, in the society that is typically built off of, and it seemed like this in other shows and like that too, like you know, in the hierarchy was the society where people have certain powers and or power levels, and depending on what you have, you get treated a certain way, and yeah, and and because a small percentage of people at the time were uh pretty much corkless, and Deku happens to be unfortunately one of them, he would be treated pretty well terribly and whatnot, uh up until the point where he finally got you know all might's power. And of course, when you got Makugu over here, you know, knowing him, he was he was high on his horse, and then when he saw the powers he had that that made him even more angry.

SPEAKER_05: 11:29

What is it getting those perform? Like, have you been underestimating me this whole time?

SPEAKER_03: 11:34

Yep, I'm like, oh lord, is this uh Vegeta have another kid over here? But um, yeah, I that's what I like about him particular on Deku gaining that power, the fact that like you can't really say it's a typical case of a character gaining a power and then it's just like bam, they're overpowered like that. It's like, yeah, the power they gain is overpowered potentially up until the point they can use it masterfully. Like, um, and it took him a while to get used to that. Like, when he got the powers, he obviously had to work for it because otherwise, like how All Might said, Um, if he would try to gain the powers as he was back then, he would surely destroy himself. So, up until the point where he worked on the beach and obviously working out, doing his daily thing, he became pretty much a perfect catalyst to get it. And that's what I liked about it. Like, he just wasn't straight up powerful like that from the jump. Like, he he still was kind of a glass cannon, one punch or one kick or something like that, and he's out of commission. So eventually it took somebody else to open his eyes to realize that hey, he you have to actually start doing some micromanaging on your powers and how you use it because Aizawa also mentioned, you know, you're gonna be a bit of a liability on the battlefield if you keep using your powers in the wrong way because you get hurt and you can't really you can't really risk anybody that way.

SPEAKER_04: 13:00

I love that you said that. Um, by the way, uh, real quick, Tough. Um hear me out on this one. Am I the only one that was thinking that Isaiah was giving all Professor Snake vibes at first? I thought that too.

SPEAKER_01: 13:15

No, no, no. He was not the only one.

SPEAKER_04: 13:17

Yeah, I thought, you know, the way he was it felt like the same thing, like that same vibe in the very first meeting that he had with Harry Potter, where you know, he was trying to quiz Harry and oh well, clearly fame isn't everything.

SPEAKER_01: 13:32

You know, like he's lurking in the shadows, he hates him at first because of all my oh my what you what you just got a vendor against this kid. I'm gonna fail this dude as soon as I'm seeing.

SPEAKER_04: 13:42

I don't like um people built like you. Y'all always want to be braggers, want um bathed in the spotlight. Y'all always wanna be loud right now.

SPEAKER_01: 13:54

Actually, I do hear that.

SPEAKER_03: 13:59

But uh yeah, as far as season one goes, that's that's what I like about it, and I did like the introductions of the other side characters. Um, I guess if I had to say what my favorite other characters were aside from Deku, and I will say this too about Bakugo, even though he first season he probably wasn't everybody's favorite, but I'll say the one thing that I kind of liked about him was what I liked about Bakugo was his tenacity in a way, like his tenacity and his attitude when it comes to winning or you know, wanting to get things done. Like I sort of appreciated that at the least, because it's like that that's what really makes you stronger. Cause he he's not like everybody else in a sense where it's like they're just gonna give up so easily, or you know, Bakugo will straight up be like, I'm gonna win this and I'm gonna do my best to. So that's that's one of the reasons why he was sort of my favorite character still, even in the first season, as a even though he was like a bit of a jerk. Um, aside from that, there's Bakugo, there's uh Kirashima. I do I did like Kaminari. Um yeah, so yep, and oh yeah, Kiroshima. He always growing. Yep, same here. And I think the part I liked about Kirashima was the fact that even though he doesn't have that flashy of a quirk, it's still it's still busted in some ways because the dude can be like an absolute tank, and you know, he he he really would be best attacking people, and there's Sarah, and uh of course there's Tokuyami as well. Those are probably my major major uh favorite characters right there.

SPEAKER_01: 15:37

Darwin Belt.

SPEAKER_04: 15:39

Now, listen, listen. First of all, Deku. Deku's my boy, right? He he gave all this underdog vibral, like like I said before, he's the kind of kid that people would count out. So I was like, I kind of relate to this kid because I feel like sometimes I'm gonna be straight with y'all. Sometimes I feel like a loser in life. But I'm trying my best to uh make a comeback, doing what I can with this podcast, with what we got going on outside of the podcast. We're trying to make things happen. So I kind of understand Jekku in a certain way. And I I do appreciate when you have people that love you and they support you. And bro, trust me, there's like a couple examples that we're gonna hit on when we talk about imagine things being different if you didn't have that support system. Because there's like a couple characters where I'm like, if they had that support system, things would have been better for them. But there's one case in particular I'm gonna hit on in the next season. But that's the thing like I I just love underdog characters. Second of all, with Bobaga, Hero, when you talked about how there was a bunch of people that don't like, okay, listen. I didn't hate him. Yeah. But the only reason why I didn't like him at first is because it was more of a bias thing, to where it's like Deku was giving me big brother energy, to where it's more like, uh, if anything, I just didn't like the way Baguego was picking on Deku, even though Deku didn't do anything wrong. It's more like, man, if you don't leave my boy Deku alone, like you good, Twin, you good? Yeah, I agree. That's the only thing. Other than that, he's alright. Like he's actually kind of funny. Like when he gets mad. I kind of think his anger is kind of cathartic in a way, because sometimes I get really pissed off and watching him getting pissed off is like catharsis by proxy. So I'm like, I don't hate him, but like it took me a while to warm up to him. Yep. Yeah, that's all it is. But uh, was that all you had on season one or was there more?

SPEAKER_03: 17:52

Um I'd say so far that might be all. And but yeah, there was the I really did like the uh what was it, the villain attack on the school as well. That was that that was a pretty interesting part. I I liked how that went and seeing all my going on the no move to the point where he he literally beat the guy down so hard that uh despite having shock absorption, but I didn't hear you say you got shock and no vacation.

SPEAKER_04: 18:21

Yep.

SPEAKER_01: 18:22

I didn't hear no big all my not smiling was crazy, bro. Yeah, I'm like, bro, like when I saw that, I'm like, oh no, but this is I put that in the beginning of a song that one of my oh that um what's the name made? He made a song. Um what's his name? Satama black.

SPEAKER_04: 18:50

Oh, okay, okay, okay.

SPEAKER_01: 18:52

I made a I put that in the beginning of a song. I'm gonna send it, I'm gonna send it in the uh group chat after this. But um I do want to say I won't mention it now, and I want to mention it for the second part so that y'all can have time to think and analyze this. The character development of Bakugo is up there in the top-tier character development, such as Prince Zuko.

SPEAKER_03: 19:15

Agreed. I I agree, I agree with this. I I thought the same thing for a while.

SPEAKER_01: 19:20

I'm gonna go into it in the second part, but I I want y'all to understand that.

SPEAKER_04: 19:24

That's what I'm saying. Like, it took me a while to warm up to, but once we get there, you'll understand why it's like, okay, I can't forgive Bobo a little bit more because you know, oh okay, okay, that reminds me. People disliking Bobago. Okay. Maybe some people didn't. But bro, bruh. I swear to God, like I bro. I recently went on social media and there was like this one post asking, like, okay, who's your favorite character? And you got some. Um variety of answers, but I swear to God, bro. Almost without fail. Every time I heard someone say box go, it was a female.

SPEAKER_01: 20:14

They like the assholes.

SPEAKER_04: 20:17

So what does that tell you?

SPEAKER_02: 20:19

Bad boys.

SPEAKER_04: 20:21

See, I'm glad I'm almost glad Mirajane is on here. Like, okay, I'm hoping she's doing well. Like she just couldn't make it. But she she's a boxing girl fan. In fact, I have another friend of mine who said that she's also a boxing girl fan. And I'm saying her, like, no, that doesn't surprise me from y'all.

SPEAKER_03: 20:41

Yeah, it doesn't. That's that's not surprising. No offense, but it's not surprising at all.

SPEAKER_04: 20:46

You know, I can't wait to uh get Seb y'all. I want your answer. Like, whoa, I swear to God that she said Bakugo. It's all it's no, I'm not even trying to um be some type of way about it, but I'm like, really? Okay, some folks will say someone different, but I'm just saying though, it's like it's crazy how a lot of girls like Bakugo. Well, all right. Um, let's go ahead and move on if there's nothing else. We got season two, the sports festival, and the hero killer. For starters, gotta have that tournament art. That's you know, anime 101, gotta have that tournament art. It's best gonna do a long-term anime and a beach episode.

SPEAKER_01: 21:39

And it did they do a beach episode?

SPEAKER_04: 21:41

Or did they say that for the episode? I believe they did. They already did, okay, okay.

SPEAKER_01: 21:45

Well, it was a pool, but same thing.

SPEAKER_04: 21:48

Oh, right, right. Okay, so it wasn't technically a beach episode. It was a fan service episode, even though it was it was alright. Uh enter class 1B, the rivals, well, quote unquote, rivals of class 1A. Because most of class B is like, hey, you know what? We cool, y'all. We ain't got no beat. But Monoma, that dude been hating, this jump. He was talking about. I can't tell if it's like annoying or funny because like it's a little bit of both. Because I'm like, bro, like, sure. But at the same time, as at a certain point, it just gets kind of funny how much of a hater he is. But to be fair, when we get to part two, I can't be too mad at him. Because he had he did that thing in part two. Like when we get to um like season seven and eight, we he did that thing, but I'll just leave it out. Okay, here's another character that uh I like that got introduced in season two. Mei Hasume, the quirky gadgeter, eagerly opportunistic uh for doing business with her equipment. Like, bro, like okay, I like how she not only really about her technology, she takes great care of her technology, but she really about that paper.

SPEAKER_01: 23:12

And she's cute too.

SPEAKER_04: 23:13

Yeah, you know what? I know we gonna talk about a little bit uh springling it every now and then, but this is a perfect opportunity to bring up the whole shipping between Deku and Udaraka. Like, first of all, like obviously, uh obviously, but um there were some people trying to ship Udaraka with Bakugo and other characters, and I'm like, why though? It doesn't make sense, but um I'll get to that point. Uh I like how every time Mayhasume shows up, and it's like Jack was like excited to talk to her, or you know, the whole thing with the titties. Uh I was like, man, she ain't all that. Like, I don't know why she's not like she wasn't being a hater, but it's almost like you can tell every time she was around, it was like, I don't know if I like you talking to other women, Deku.

SPEAKER_03: 24:22

Yeah, she had that look, scary look on her face at times too.

SPEAKER_04: 24:28

Like I do appreciate that with Udaraka, she likes Deku, but just like with Deku, it's more like they liked each other, but they're focusing on their hero career. And I'm like, okay, fair enough, they're standing on business. I get that. I get it. So they don't want to have a relationship in the way of um them becoming a hero and whatnot. So they just put that in a hole until we do the OVA in May. Another character that I like, and oh man, I like his character development. Shinzo, the mind control hero, how he's encouraged to be a hero. See, here's the thing he's one of those examples I was talking about to where imagine if things were different. To where Shinzo has this quirk, and people will assume that, oh, you probably be a villain with a quirk like that. But Shinzo is like, no, uh, not really. I'm not trying to be a bad guy. And then he gets into the sports festival, um, gets far enough to get into the tournament um portion of the sports festival. And Def was encouraging him, like, hey yo, you can't be a hero. And everybody else in the crowd was like, hey, Chizo, you did a good job, man. Like, you can be a great hero with that power. And think about it, like, if he didn't have that support system right there, he could have ended up being like certain villains that we're gonna talk about later. Yeah, I I just love that. I love it. Uh moving on, we have Udaraka's resolve to support her family, even if it means putting a relationship with Death on hold. The whole fight with Udaraka versus Baku. Okay, see, not much to that. All I'm saying is I just think it's crazy how people are really trying to ship Udaraka with Bakugo. I think it's mainly because of people who might be Naruto fans, assuming that oh, it's gonna play out just like Naruto to where uh the girl character is gonna go with the other guy. I'm like, nope, no, I don't see it. They have like zero chemistry. Like you can tell with almost every interaction, like, hell, Bakugo barely recognized Udaraka. Like, you remember when they did the whole lineup and he was like, Udaraka, who the hell is that? I'm like, he was paying no attention to her, so I'm like, it makes zero sense. I mean, unless, you know, Udaraka was that type to go out to a type like him. But then again, she's not that tight. Like, I'm really trying not to go there because I I don't want to ruffle in the fellas right now. But uh she's just not that tight. Uh I thought it was valiant that she tried to fight against Bakugo, but she got overpowered. Like it was it was just kind of sad. But uh then we get to learn more about Todoroki and his relationship with his father Endeavor and quirk marriages, which is eugenics in this universe. Because, like, you know, you hook up with someone where their kids, their quirks are hereditary, so it's almost like you're trying to find someone that's gonna have compatible quirks with you. So that's how Todoroki came to be after three kids that Endeavor considered, oh well, this is a failure. Let's go make another one. Like he was really trying to uh have a child to where he has the planes, but also has the ice power to cool himself off so he can like overcome the drawbacks of having the planes. Like I kind of get it, but it's still fucked up, especially the way he treated the wife and the kids. Even yeah, like real fucked up. Uh but Deku versus Todoroki, ooh, bro, this top five, top five fights for me. Because it was if there's one word that I can give to My Hero Academia right now, why I say this anime and manga is not only five stars, but also I consider it a generational anime manga series. If I can give it one word, inspiring. Yep, it is very inspiring to where you hear Deku trying to save Totoro almost like Brooklyn. It's crazy how we were talking about Prince Zuko not too long ago. I'm like, you see a kid with a with his uh half his face burned off, but that's beside the point. But um Deku trying to save Todoroki, you know, like selling him, hey yo, forget your pops. Like, that's your quirk, not his. And that's real crazy because I feel like not only Deku is telling that to the Todoroki, he's also telling that to himself because he inherited one for all from All Might, and he needs to come to grips that now that he's the ninth holder of One For All, he needs to realize that this is his quirk now. So he needs to stop trying to be like All Might to a T and be his own hero in a sense. Like stop being so much of an All Might fanboy. It's okay to like All Might, but don't be such a fanboy that you're pretty much mirroring him uh one for one. No, you gotta stand out on your own, and you're gonna learn that the the hard way eventually. Uh but I really like how you trying to reach Todoroki and tell him, hey, yo, like you don't have to worry about your pups, like just do your best. Do you really want to be a hero or not? And Todoroki was like, I do. I want him to, I want to be a hero. And then they have their little class, and Vidorio's trying his best to try to uh fight Todoroki, even though he was trying to uh get through to him. And Todoroki uses his fire blast, and the way that was animated was beautiful. That's the whole thing. Like I can't describe it well enough to give it justice, but man, the way they animated that fight was beautiful.

SPEAKER_03: 30:54

You uh I don't know if anybody else has made this uh comparison before, because I don't think I've seen anybody else say it, but you know what that one scene reminds me of when he when he pretty much used his fire cork to like the max and it melted all that ice, like uh that scene where he basically had a huge fire blast behind him at first. You know what that reminded me of? It basically reminded me of scene of X Burner from uh hit me.

SPEAKER_04: 31:16

Hey, come on, man. You know, you know me. Like I would have gotten that reference. Yeah, it was like that.

SPEAKER_03: 31:23

It looked like X burner to me, and I was like, holy crap.

SPEAKER_04: 31:27

Bro, like it was like extra crispy with the animate. See, this is why I'm kind of glad about the 20th anniversary project. They've been trying to say is like, oh, they got planning something for your 20th anniversary. I'm like, bro, please either be it don't have to be a remake, it doesn't have to be a remake, but at least animate those last two manga arts. At least give us that. Because I'm like, bro, Kotecio Hitman Reborn is so underrated. For real. For real. Uh oh yeah. Moving on with season two, Bakugo went to sports spectral as he said he would, but it's unsatisfied because Todoroki didn't use his flames on him like uh like he did on Decku. See, once again, Bobo doesn't like it when people hold back on. Like, see, he reminds me of uh Uncle Rux's father, like uh from that one episode where you get backstory on uh Uncle Ruckus, and uh every time Bob Ruckus does anything, uh his father just come up behind him and be like, Nigga, did I just catch you doing you know but not in this case did I catch you having food? Nigga, did I just catch you on take it easy on me?

SPEAKER_03: 32:54

Man, I swear he really, if Bakugo was in the Dragon Ball universe, yeah, he definitely would have been a sand. Like, there's no way he wouldn't be a relative of Vegeta or something.

SPEAKER_04: 33:05

I mean, in a way he kind of is, because let's just say when we get to the ending, it's like it was almost like the equivalent of what happened at the end of the cell saga when Goku sacrificed himself and he's like, oh shit, I I don't have a rifle anymore. Uh all right, keeping it going. Class 1A, get code names now, and they go work under the likes of Gran Torino, Best Genius, Gunhead, Mount Lady. By the way, Death who learns full Cali and how the wall jump. Ida, he wants vengeance for what Hero Killer Stain was doing because Hero Killer Stain, he was going around killing heroes, or at uh at bare minimum, he put them in the hospital, saying that everybody that's doing hero work is a phony, and the only real hero out there on the field is All Might. And he put Ida's brother, uh the first ingenium, in the hospital. So Ida's now out for our blood, unintended. And he ends up um coming across Stain, but he has a little problem um trying to deal with Stain. But luckily, his friends was worried about him enough to where they were trying to track him down and whatnot, which led to Stain versus Midoria, Ida, and Todoroki. And by the way, does Stain look like Afro Samurai to y'all?

SPEAKER_03: 34:41

Yeah, he kind of does. Oh my god. I can see it.

SPEAKER_01: 34:45

It's the bandana, bro. It ain't even a bandana, it's an eye bandana. I don't know. That's what it is.

SPEAKER_03: 34:54

He was a Afro Samurai, but without a nose.

SPEAKER_01: 34:57

You can say this, yeah. You can say the same thing about Deku when he wears the score. You know what I mean?

SPEAKER_04: 35:02

But especially when the wind's blowing, like that's when it was like, yeah, you know what?

SPEAKER_01: 35:07

It's his it's his draw draw style too. It probably was, you know, inspiration.

SPEAKER_03: 35:14

He's probably actually one of my favorite, like uh probably one of my favorite like villains in this. And uh obviously doesn't mean I sit there and like condone him attacking heroes and all that, but in and out away, I sort of saw what his philosophy was and what he was thinking, and I was like, I I can sort of agree when he calls out certain heroes, only they're not heroes for the love of actually like you know wanting to protect and save people and all that. They're just being heroes for the riches and for all the other like selfish reasons, which is one of the main reasons why he says All Might is worthy, because yeah, All Might has the fame. He you know hauls out all that stuff to being the number one, but he definitely prioritizes obviously saving people and he's better than that. Right.

SPEAKER_04: 36:05

And I agree with Stane being like one of my favorite villains from this series because he's one of those villains where he kind of reminds me of like the Joker in a way to where he has this ideal to where I'm like, hey, you know what? Hold on, let him cook. Because like he might be on to something, like uh, because some of the heroes, happy is kind of like that. And it's funny because lately you've been getting a whole lot of shows and movies where you have superheroes, but they're not exactly good people. So I do like the commentary to where it's like, yeah, they may be superpowers and they call themselves superheroes, but some of them not really um being heroes for the sake of heroes. It's more like some of them just want the fame and the glory, like Botsugo, where he he said from jumping, like, I'm gonna be the richest hero there is. And I'm like, Yep, see, that's exactly what Stan's talking about. Like, you're not even in it for the uh sake of heroes, you're not like All Might. Like, see, All Might was the only one where it's like, yeah, he would go out on the field and save people just for the hell of it. Like, like All Might's the type of hero that, man, I do this shit for fun.

SPEAKER_03: 37:21

Yeah, like um an example too is right when, like, after he even passed on his powers to Deku, there was a couple of the scenes where I think it was in that scene, um, this might be in season one, actually, but it was before he got called over to help his students out uh from that villain attack. Uh, he was still sitting there helping a lot of civilians despite the limitations and the time left he had on you know being in his uh that you know his form, you know, when he's buffing all that. But you know, he still did what he could despite some of the suffering he's still going through. Right.

unknown: 37:56

Right.

SPEAKER_04: 37:57

And how did y'all feel about that fight? Um, that 1v3 with Dana and the three boys.

SPEAKER_03: 38:07

It was it was pretty amazing. Like I especially like I especially like seeing Daiku's development of uh you know the way he was using his quirk at uh what was like 5% like folk howling and whatnot. And watching it being animated, like green lightning on it. That that was cool to me because I haven't seen too many characters where they have like green lightning and whatnot. So it was like a lot.

SPEAKER_04: 38:31

We kind of seen a couple, like a bunch of them in a certain anime that we like. So oh boy. If you know, you know. Uh yeah, but I did like that detail too, where it looked really good on him. So with that being said, Stane's brief association with Shigaraki and Kurigiri and his ideals being uploaded online, that inspired multiple villains to join the league. Uh, all for one and one for all just explain how essentially I like how they made the uh compared. Well, if if one can explain the relationship between all for one and one for all, it's that justice is born from evil. Like that was like a hell of a bar when I heard that, because that's essentially saying that uh if it wasn't for all for one, there wouldn't be one for all. True. And then other than that, it was class 1A versus the UA teachers having their final exam, and She Rock and Midoria have a chat. That's that's pretty much season two. Uh y'all got anything y'all wanna add on to that before we move on?

SPEAKER_03: 39:56

Uh I think that's it for me. What's up? You got anything you add on?

SPEAKER_01: 40:05

Um, I ain't got much to add on. It's just it's it was cool seeing Deku injure himself over and over again, and then using his broken finger to use his power again. Really shows you how uh desperate you can be as a hero and then still put out quality results. Um I do like Shinzo's power. Uh and the only other thing from the sports festival would be well, the only other couple things from the sports festival would be him seeing the vestiges of one for all. Um yeah, him seeing that and seeing the silhouette, seeing that there is there's eight, um, and then just wondering what that was. It really it really foreshadowed into further seasons. And watching his development in the sports festival, as he progressed in the sports festival without using his power and still became in the top spot.

SPEAKER_04: 41:02

Yeah, he was like in seventh, yeah.

SPEAKER_01: 41:05

Yeah, yeah. I mean, like he started out in the top spot from the uh obstacle course.

SPEAKER_04: 41:10

Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. From the obstacle course, um yeah. Like he was kind of doing, oh bro, like they did him dirty in the Calvary battle. Whereas like, oh yeah, you know what? Uh let's just give uh the last the guy that won the last um battle like 10 million points, and then everybody just started shooting daggers at him immediately. I'm like, bro, why y'all doing it to me?

SPEAKER_03: 41:34

Yeah, I I felt that to the screen when they stared at him like that. I was like, oh shit.

SPEAKER_01: 41:43

Yeah, that whole that whole sequence was crazy. Um, and getting to see other characters come in, like see other heroes, like um, what was her name? The the one that can use black hole.

SPEAKER_04: 41:55

Uh 13.

SPEAKER_01: 41:57

Yeah, like that's a crazy power, bro.

SPEAKER_04: 42:03

Okay, listen, like because I'm probably not gonna remember. Oh, I might remember, but I'm just gonna say this now in case I forget. It's crazy how when you finally get to see 13's face, I'll tell you like, holy shit, you're a person.

SPEAKER_01: 42:18

Like, yeah, I thought it was just a space monster court.

SPEAKER_04: 42:23

Yeah, I was like, bro, like I wasn't even worried about who what 13 looked like behind all that, but then when I saw um the face for the person, I was like, bro, what you're a human, yeah.

SPEAKER_01: 42:40

Then just the the final scene against the no mu bro. All might saying, oh, you can use you built for 100% of my power. How about go over a hundred percent of my power? I'm like, golly, how strong is this dude? Yeah, over a hundred percent of my power, bruh.

SPEAKER_04: 42:59

I mean, yeah, like people can be pushed past the limits. Make that very obvious.

SPEAKER_01: 43:05

Shout out to Yami, push past your limits.

SPEAKER_04: 43:08

Yeah, well, yeah, that's all I had on that. All right, season three, training camp and all for one. So, class one, they trained with Isa and the Pussycat to improve their uses of their respective quirks. Uh, Coda, this young kid who hates heroes because his parents, the water hose heroes, died in action. Uh, oh bro, like that's crazy because like that kind of echoes into what we're gonna be talking about in part two, you know, what's just say, with how things played out with the Shimura family. Oof. Uh he didn't understand that Waterhose died honorably, only that his parents left it behind. So, yeah, he had abandonment issues. Uh Dobby, Toga, Muscular, and other villains make their move on the training camp to capture Bonkigo. Uh, Muscular is the reason why Waterhose is dead, but Water Hose is the reason why Muscular has that artificial left eye. Midorian versus Muscular. Uh I thought it was pretty cool, but like even though I know it was just a name of an attack now, but I thought it was like fucking crazy when Deku was like yelling out one million percent with Detroit Deliverse Master. I was like, what the fuck?

SPEAKER_03: 44:38

Yeah, I'd have been like, man, if that was really one million percent, he would he would have disintegrated that guy with a punch, and he would have been at that point.

SPEAKER_04: 44:46

That would be the beginning of his kill count.

SPEAKER_03: 44:49

Yeah, he like that guy would have been dead. Internet freaked out when that happened.

SPEAKER_04: 44:56

Yeah, I was like, whoa, whoa, what the that was like the same shit um mob did from Mob Psycho 100, where he went like he went up so high, like they just couldn't even calculate. It was like that's a bunch of question marks. Like, I don't know how fucking high this is at this point. He just really pissed off now. But uh, anyways, Udaraka suppressing her crush on Deku uh being seen, and this is gonna be the first encounter Udaraka and us. We have with Himiko Toga, where Toga meets and gains a crush on Deku. Uh Midoria, Ida, Todoroki, Kirishima, and Yahirose tries to save Fox Go from the League of Villa despite the consequences of getting involved. And by the way, when they try to uh wear those disguises, like most of them look pretty good, but Deku. Like, okay, he's looked good, but I like how Deku was like really getting into the role play. Like he was really trying to act like a delinquent, and I just thought it was kind of funny. Like, it was one of those instances where I'm really glad I watched the dub because it was funnier listening to a dub than when I watched it for the first time sub. Because I was like, it was alright when it was sub, but when it when I heard it dub, bro, like I said, like Decky, bro, bro, bro. Look, I like you, but you're not that guy. Calm down.

SPEAKER_03: 46:26

Yeah, you want to see a delinquent? Uh yeah, let's let's get Yusuke up here real quick.

SPEAKER_05: 46:31

Oh bro, like Usuke.

SPEAKER_04: 46:36

Hold on, we're gonna do a reduct. Like, I really want to do a uh reduct on Yu-Yi-Haxta, definitely hear everybody else's opinions on it because I just really like talking about Yu-Yi Hawkster. But bro, you listen, Yusuke, he will box with anybody. I'm trying to tell to like he will box with anybody. Like he he said, like, little, it doesn't matter if you're a man, woman, you can even be somebody's grandma. I'll still box with you. Exactly. Bro, I'm telling you, like, they don't make proteins like him anymore. Or barely. Uh keeping it going. The League of Let's Ooh, bro. Okay, that was a broadness slip, but it's crazy because we wanted to play why that the League of Villains. Oh, like, yeah, because it's crazy how I made that. But I was like, bro, it's even crazy. I was playing when we do part two. Uh the League of Villains tried to convert Bobby Go to their side, but Bob Go declines on its own, right before the pros came to the rescue. So good on Bobby Gugg, where it's like, yeah, I mean, he may be an asshole, but he's not a total villain. That's that's the crazy part, too, where it's like sometimes with the ladies, like, oh well, you know, he can be kind of a jerk, but he can be really nice when you get to know him.

unknown: 48:10

Mr.

SPEAKER_04: 48:10

War, Mr. War. Uh oh. Enter all for one, making quick work of some of the pro heroes using quirks that he stole over the years. It was almost that same level as moderate versus the Shinobi uh Alliance. I was like when they were he was just giving them the fade, like Jesus Christ. And then there's All Might versus All For One, to where All Might was just really giving it his all. He had like Embers left off one for all, and then with one last punch, that man said United stays a smash and fucking hell. Like that punch was so strong, like it just made the clouds dissipate. I'm like, God damn. And then he did one of the coldest things I've seen in modern anime. Like, okay, so dub kind of fucked it up, saying, like, now it's your turn. Like, no, no, no, fuck all that. Give me what he's told me this in the subversion. Like, when he pointed at that fucking camera and said, You're next. Ooh, I had chills when he said that shit because I like, because the layers, first of all, because we know what it really meant to where he was uh telling me Doria that you're next, but people were going around thinking, like, oh, well, does that mean like whoever decided to uh commit a crime or do anything like all for one, or might gonna come for you and saying like you're next? I'm like, okay, there's the layers in that. But like, man, it's the brevity of it all to where I'm like that could have meant anything, but uh only Midoria and Bakugo saw it differently. And by the way, a certain asshole that wannabe All Might probably gonna look at it differently when we talk about the fourth movie. Bakugo, by the way, when they tried to escape from the League of Building, that was like a smooth escape plan with Hiroshima and the gang. I like that. Uh, we also learned about Nana Shimura, the seventh holder, one for all, uh, All Mike's master, and Tinko Shimura's grandmother. But we know him as Shigaraki. Uh, All Might defeats all for one and have him arrested, but he can no longer do pro hero work with his embers flickering away. And after the battle, I'd say you're next. Okay, I got that part. Uh, after the box goes rescue art, Yue decides to have the students move into the dorms where they immediately have a contest for best decorations. Uh, sugarman wins because he had food that won over the girls. I'm like, typical, fucking typical. Like class 1A develops ultimate moves, and Deku finally realized that he can use one for all when he kicks. I'm like, bro, I'm like, that's like bro. Listen, for Deku to be such a fanboy who studies heroes and whatnot, I'm I was so fucking shocked. They took three seasons for him to realize, uh, I can use one for all when I kick.

SPEAKER_03: 51:35

Yep, but it uh shocking as it was too, it also made sense because it's like when you idolize somebody or something so much to an extent, you're ignoring a bit of what you could also do for yourself, or what you could do with something potentially. So, and I like how they pointed that out also to the point where Deku idolized uh All Might too much to the point where he's trying to be a carbon copy, and he didn't think of any other way he could utilize uh pretty much a quirk in his own ways, which obviously the kicking and the uh shoot style that he developed it in.

SPEAKER_04: 52:10

Right. Like, hey, like the way he was using one for all with the finger, that was like improvise. Like it's crazy, like they're gonna be uh doing improvised moves later on, but like man, Deku got that kind of down path because he's been improvising since jump. But uh, anyways, uh thanks to main hospit and power loader improving his costumes, he was able to achieve style. Uh class one a takes an exam for their provisional license to do hero work, which includes competing against students from other schools uh during the exam. Toga impersonates Cammy uh from Shiketsu High to steal Deku's book and excuse me, style tongue tie. But um everyone from Class 1A except Bakgo and Totoroki passed that provisional license exam, mainly because uh Bakgo and Todoroki was having their hands tied with uh Wannabe Avatar, you know the guy, the win guy. Uh he talks about you, I forgot his name, uh Unasa or something like that. Uh yeah, that's what he's talking about, yeah. Yeah. And then after all of that, Bob Go told me Dory, hey yo, come on, so I need to talk to you about your little quirk. And they was like, oh shit. Like, we're gonna go there. And then Bug was like, hey, yo, so I've been thinking about it for a while now, like, you know, I'm trying to put a piece to the puzzle together. And like, ever since you suddenly have a quirk, and from that point, all the way up to what all might say uh during that fighting commander, I'm like thinking, hold on, hold on, wait a minute, wait a minute. He had that Vegeta, well, not exactly like it, but like, you know how Vegeta starting to realize that um Trump was his son from the future, and just that shocked look on his face. He didn't have that face, but it was like he was just piecing it together like that. So I was like, So um All Might gave his power to you, huh? And Midor just sat there like and what if he did, what are you gonna do about it? And I'm like, all right, put your hands, I'm gonna fight right now. And he won that rematch because keep in mind, like, during the uh class uh exercise when it was the heroes versus villains, Deku uh won the exercise, but like he only decided, like, hey, you know, I'm not gonna really play this game, so I'm just gonna focus on exercise, but uh he technically won that fight. Uh but Baku won this one, and he was crying his eyes out talking about how come my idol recognized you and not me? And it's crazy how it could have been, it was almost like that same body got from how people were criticizing the sequel trilogy of Star Wars, where uh Ray could have been just anybody, but instead they decided to write that, oh, she's a granddaughter of Palpatine, and it's almost like this ruins what makes it special to where it's like, oh well, anybody could wield the force. It was almost kind of like that, where with one for all, you're thinking, okay, he gave it to this kid just because oh, he had a lot of heart. So I figured, oh, it'll be the right thing. You know, kind of like what Steve Rogers was, where with the super uh soldier serum, it's like, yeah, it could make anybody either go crazy or they might actually be a better person for it. And all might just seem like, okay, he gave one for all to Deku because he just saw the heart that this kid had. But you find out later on that, oh well, warm for all works better when the user is quirkless. And I'm like, well, okay, okay, but that kind of ruins it for me a little bit. Because it kind of makes it less vegetative. Like, oh, well, you know, technically it would have worked better if you were quirkless anyway. So I'm like, I I could have given it to this other guy that we're gonna talk about in season four. Um I could have given to this, well no, actually it's in this one. It's actually in this this uh season to where class one a meets the current big three of UA. Mirio Togata, Lamillion, uh, there's Nedjirihado and Tabaki Amajiki, the Sun Eater. And bro, speaking of fades, class one A Bruce Lemillion was the funniest, one of my top five, by the way, one of the funniest fights I ever seen. Because this man gave these the whole class the fade naked and just punching them in the gut. And after all that, he just screamed, power, like he's Terry Cruz from the fucking old spikes commercial. I was like, what the fuck is this?

SPEAKER_03: 57:26

Man, he uh he quite literally obitoy chi out everybody and gut checked them in the process.

SPEAKER_04: 57:33

Damn, I'm like, hey, permeation, like it's great guy. Like he reminds me of the captain from Firefox, to where it's like everybody else got like second generation, third generation, fourth generation powers. Nope, you don't got no powers, he just trains every fucking day, and that's the same vibe I got from um to God, to where it's like, bro, like permeation is cool, but it's not OP. But he had to train his body to a point to where he made it OP. I'm like, it's like he's nothing special, but I made myself OP. I earned this shit. That's why people were looking at me like, oh yeah, I'm gonna be the next number one, even amongst the pros. And he did that shit. But yeah, that's all I got for season three for now. Uh Hero, you got anything you want to add on to that?

SPEAKER_03: 58:37

Uh trying to uh articulate something, trying to think of some of the details here because oh yeah, with Lemillion, yeah, that was that was definitely one of my favorite encounters too, because it was just flat out hilarious. But uh it it really did show a bit of a gap too, and I guess some of the experience um you know between him and 1A and kind of the other two as well. Like honestly, I I like the other dude as well, the uh you know, Sun Eater, and that's that's that's it's quite a cool nickname.

SPEAKER_04: 59:12

I'm sorry, hero. I'm I'm sorry to say this, but you know it's crazy when I'm rewatching my hero, and I'm sitting there like, oh, Sun Eater reminds me just a white hero. You remind me just like this dude go like, you know, like no, don't say anything.

SPEAKER_05: 59:30

Oh, you know, you just ignore me.

SPEAKER_03: 59:33

Probably exactly why I started liking them too. I was like, man, why didn't I see a little bit of myself? And uh, you know, time to lock in a little bit, and yeah, it's over.

SPEAKER_04: 59:49

Uh I just want to mention with uh Midori versus Bakugo fight, like, okay, the fight was pretty good, but you know what impressed me? Uh Midori had that fancy footwork when. He was fighting uh Bosco, you know, like he was like trying to move around like where you move from, like, see, bro, like story be fucking surprising me. Like, you'll think, okay, where the fuck are you coming from with these moves and these techniques? Like, where are you coming? Jesus Christ. Like, you kind of see the others like training their power, and then like, okay, cool, cool, cool. But like, that's who I swear to God, you'd be coming up with this just off the fly or something like that.

SPEAKER_03: 1:00:31

Yeah, it's it's pretty amazing because uh even when he was even when he was quirkless, like it really shows because he studies other heroes, it shows that he's really uh dedicated to studying, like he pays attention to other resources and uses that. And then plus when you add in him having quirks now, he uh he pretty much capitalizes on it too, makes the best of both worlds. And that's what makes him really dangerous, because it's like, okay, we're he we're gonna know how to do this.

SPEAKER_01: 1:00:59

Yeah, he's such a strategist. You can even see, like, even in the cavalry battle, how he put people together, like, such a good strategist, even without a quirk. Like, he quirkless showcased his ability to store and observe heroes from a floor for years and annotate it all in a notebook, even though Kotron destroyed one of them.

SPEAKER_03: 1:01:20

Yeah. Yeah, he has to make up his pretty much his uh like anybody else in any other universe or any other show, anime or something that doesn't have powers like a majority of people. They have to use their mind and other tactics to make up for lack of powers.

SPEAKER_01: 1:01:38

Right. Look at Batman, look at Iron Man, you know. Yeah, you know, they they they they billionaires, but nevertheless.

SPEAKER_04: 1:01:49

Oh man, like that reminds me of what's gonna what we're gonna be talking about. Man, I really want to talk about part two at this point, but like we'll get there. Uh was anything about season three that nah, I I think I did like see, I know we kind of play into rule, but yeah, well, peak season three was Deku and Kartan fight, like yeah, that was definitely like the highlight of season three. Well, yeah.

unknown: 1:02:17

Uh uh.

SPEAKER_04: 1:02:19

I would say that's like the highlight for me. Uh well, you know, aside from All Might versus Oak One, that's also like one of the high points of the season. I would say Midori versus Muslim.

SPEAKER_01: 1:02:32

Did you think he ended on a good note?

SPEAKER_04: 1:02:35

All Might? Yeah. Oh, yeah, definitely. Because the main thing is, even though he had to retire, uh, well, he didn't make it public yet. But I want to say that was a fairly good note, the fact that he did um go out arresting all for one, even though that doesn't stick for very long. But uh at the very least, he gave a good impression that uh heroes are still necessary um to prevent guys like all one from surfacing. So I want to say he did pretty good. Oh uh, I guess took that disconnected for a moment, but I'm pretty sure he'd be back on. But um hearing uh there you go.

SPEAKER_01: 1:03:25

Uh yeah, that whole sequence for uh one and all might fight, just the fact that he wanted to break down and destroy all might's image, that sequence beginning right there was so peace. Like man, my boy was fighting with this anybody, and then he done hit the deck of move, moving all his power into one arm. I'm like, man, switching at the last second.

SPEAKER_04: 1:03:57

Oh yeah, it was great, it was great. All right, uh, I think that's all I got on season three. So now we're gonna talk about the first movie, two heroes. So, speaking of All Might, in the past, a young All Might, uh, you know, we know him as Toshinori, uh, while as an exchange student in California, deals with a group of villains who have robbed the casino and aided by his classmate friend David Shield, who eventually becomes a scientist and works with him and designed mini-pit suits. And we're gonna see how relevant that's gonna be in the future. Now, in the present, during the summer break, All Might brings uh Midoria with him to I Island, this floating city island, and response to an invitation from David's daughter Melissa to surprise her father. Um, during the reunion, David runs the test with All Might and learns that his quirk is nearly depleted, um, becoming horrified as he believes that All Might will no longer be able to fill his role as the Summer Peace. So, meanwhile, Melissa uh and Zucker are hanging out. Um, him around the island, unexpectedly encounters uh the rest of Class A, who've been invited to the island for different reasons. And the whole point being is that David, uh his assistant Samuel, they hired uh Wolfram and a bunch of people to pretend to be villains, trying to rob the island and whatnot, just so they can get what they need for the research and whatnot. But turns out that the villains, they were like, Yeah, we're not playing anymore. This is for real now. Uh, this is a real stick-up. Everybody uh giving them uh case, giving them money and all that. And Samuel was like, oh, well, just give him what he wants. I know I'm kind of blazing through, but like it's a lot, it's a lot. So uh whole point being is that I thought the move was pretty good, but of course, my favorite part was the ending of it all, especially when me, Doria and all my like running up on Wolf Room and that giant Akira style monstrosity that he created, and they like run up Matua trying to uh Detroit Smash it and whatnot. But my favorite part of the whole encounter is when that final attack, where it's like Jeku was um getting ready to throw a punch, but then All Might was just standing there like a fucking statue, and then just zoomed at it. I was like, bro, what the fuck?

SPEAKER_03: 1:06:54

Had to hit that pose real quick.

SPEAKER_04: 1:06:56

Yeah, I was like, what the hell?

SPEAKER_03: 1:06:58

Dude on emoted before he launched the final attack.

SPEAKER_04: 1:07:02

I'm like, bro, like man, imagine that would have been one of those um hero shooters, but you know, overwatch or uh Marvel Rivals, where imagine uh that happened in your kill cam where you figure out what the hell? How's that die? And then you find out that the person that killed you did an emote dance before killing you. I'm like, man, what the fuck? I don't know. Oh yeah, they're gonna hate it when they see that kill cam. I quit. But nah, it was a pretty good movie, and we get to see Melissa like at least twice, like um once in season four and another time in season eight. So that technically makes the movies can, even though most of what happens in the movies doesn't really affect the plot of the series, but because some of the characters make appearances in the main series, I'm gonna they're more like self-isolated events, like they're like isolated events where it's like, eh, well, they're not gonna affect the plot too much, but technically they that did happen. But at least it's not like the last two movies where it just felt like side quests that they did. Like, no, no, it's real up, real. How the fuck is it that y'all are in the middle of a war and y'all like, oh well, hold on, gotta take care of this real quick before we get back to the war. But yeah, uh, that was the movie Two Heroes. Uh what are your own thoughts about it?

SPEAKER_03: 1:08:53

Uh I'd say the pretty much the majority of what she said is about my same thoughts. I that that uh one scene where All Might and Deku were pretty much running. And call me over analytic on this one. Uh well, this is what I think anyway, but watching those two run kind of gave me like a meaning for something because watching All Might run ahead while Deku is behind him, but still slightly, you can say behind him, catching up to him, it kind of felt symbolic in a way to me because it's like Deku may not exactly be there yet, like for All Might, uh the level of All Might's prime or you know, being as strong as he was, but it's like saying he's steadily catching up to him and he's getting to you know his level of strength. And I don't know why I thought that, but it was it was just nice to see that you know run scene.

SPEAKER_04: 1:09:45

I feel that but crazy enough, it was giving Batman and Robin vibes at that moment.

SPEAKER_02: 1:09:52

Yeah, but I agree with that.

SPEAKER_01: 1:09:54

Yeah, I completely agree with that scene.

SPEAKER_04: 1:09:56

It was like that one scene from Spider-Man into the Spider-Verse where Miles was like kind of copying um Peter B's uh blow, where it's like, all right, we need to think of a plan. And then uh Miles like just stand there like, yeah, like we need to think of a plan, like just look at him, like just copying them and shit. But yeah, that was the movie. I know I didn't really talk about it too much, but that was all there is to it, where it's like, yeah, basically, uh class 1A and all my visit the island, and everything's going all good until a fake robbery became a real robbery, and then the main bad guy just decided to go full um villain, you know, like with a big machine and whatnot, uh fusing with machine, and all my didn't we do what he had to handle it? That was pretty much the movie. Now, season four, and we got one more movie, and we will be done with part one. Season four, work studies and overhaul. Man, let me tell you, I fucking love season four. Like this this really was the season that had me locked in. So, class 1A began their work study program, including Midori working under Sir Night Eye, All Might's Old Psychic, Overhaul, and it's getting Shea Haisekai. Uh no, my bad. She Hasaikai. Uh I had to pronounce at least one get time, uh, began their move. Lemillion was a candidate for one for all, endorsed by Sir Night Eye, apparently. Uh, Midorian and Tugata encounters Ari and Overhaul. And I like how it took Ari. Well, hold on, it didn't really take Ari to do this because they knew about Overhaul, they knew what he looked like to begin with. So as soon as they saw him, uh, they already know that they need to make a plan to take him down, but they didn't know about Ari. And I like how as soon as Aerie clinched Midorian's two a little tightly, they were all um both uh Midorian and Lamilia was like, oh no, I I completely understand your sign now. I'm like, whatever he's doing to you, we're gonna rescue you. Like, nope, uh say less. We got you, found uh oh yeah, okay. Kirishima versus the gun maniac. And like we said before, like we alluded to before, how Kirishima may not have a flashy quirk, but man, I was fucking hype when this man said, Red Riot, unbreakable. I'm like, man, I'm like, yeah, I I really like that for Kirishima. Like, he really trying to be like his idol crimson riot. Uh, and that's the funny thing, too, where um we were talking about Deku trying to be uh all might wannabe. Meanwhile, we had Kirishima trying to uh copy out Crimson Riot, but at least with Kiroshima is like he kind of being his own thing, especially developing his own technique. So I'll get back. Uh we also get Kiroshima and Fat Gun versus Rap Up, and we get some backstory on Kiroshima. Uh he didn't even have red hair at first. He was he had black hair and decided to uh dye his hair red after his hero, Crimson Riot. And also turns out that he knew uh Ishido um Pinky at during middle school. So I was kind of shipping those to that's a crazy name, by the way. Yeah, yeah, all right. We're trying to keep it a little bit more people. We're trying to um stay in um, I know a few curse words is one thing, but like let's try not to go down that route now. Um the league, they play against um she high second uh while taking advantage of the heroes during the heavy lifting. Uh we have Linilion versus Overhaul, where Lamillion ends up losing his quirk trying to save Ari. Don't worry, he gets it back. Uh Aerie finds out that Ari is the granddaughter of the um gang's boss, and her quirk rewind has been used to fuel overhaul's ultimate goal of cleanse the world of all quirks, which is crazy because it's almost like we were trying to figure out what overhaul was trying to do, and it just feels weird when it feels like you finally get to know their plan like at the last minute. Like they really waited till the last minute to make it clear what overhaul really trying to do. It's like it's more than just developing drugs that can boost quirks or erase quirks. He's trying to do a whole arms race to a point to where he's trying to delete all quirks from the world because they just feel like uh they just corrupt in the world and whatnot. Um, but we're gonna talk about that more in detail when we get to the whole quirk singularity bullshit though going on. But uh aside from that, there's one of my once again, another top five fight, and it's crazy how uh three of my favorite fights was in the first four seasons. But we have Midoria and Aerie versus Overhaul, where thanks to Aerie, Midoria was able to maintain one for all full calendar 100% the whole fight, and he was so strong that man, when he was like zipping around and all this shit, I was so impressed and awe-struck when I saw those giant ass hands showing up out of nowhere, just like punching them and shit. And then next thing you know, here come Midori coming down, and you see the green lighting in the background like cracking the sky, and he's like, What the fuck? Like, bro, they put a lot of money in that budget and did this whole fucking scene. I was like, God, danger.

SPEAKER_01: 1:16:55

Those pants remind me of Hunter Hunter.

SPEAKER_04: 1:16:58

Yes. Bro, like that fight was a see. My only thing is I wish it was longer. That's my that's my main problem with a lot of these fights. Like, for some reason, I just wish these fights were a little longer. Say what you will about Dragon Ball Z, but at least it felt like fights. Like, see, at least it's not like bleach where, bro, I I I know I did this with Cookie Gatsu, and I'm pretty sure I don't talk about it again when we do the thousand-year blood war. But bro, am I the only one that felt disappointed when Izigo finally fights Aizen uh after, you know, learning who get to and whatnot, and this felt like, bro, all that buildup for Ichigo to fight Aizen, and the fight wasn't even like five minutes. In fact, it's crazy how Aizen was ready to crash out just because Izigo pushed him out of the city limits. Like, wait, hold on, Z just puts me like me, he puts me up. Oh, hell no, no, fuck all that. Transforming right now, and then he's like just went flying up bars, and I'm sitting there like, bro, like, why after all that composure you had five minutes ago when you were like chasing after everybody else? Like it was like some sort of manhunt. But as soon as Ichiko pulls up, you lose all composure, and you just like, oh, you think you're gonna beat me and with one move? And then Ezio didn't use Mugatsu, and he got tricked by uh damn it. I'm just gonna call him Hanny Clark for now because uh or hard. Uh I'm like, damn, don't tell me I forgot the man's name. Uh that's about the point. Uh bro, like I just thought it was crazy. Let's just put it like that to where, like, at least make it longer. That's all I'm saying. Like, I kind of want these fights to be a little longer than just like five minutes. You know. I mean, technically it wasn't because you know, like previous episodes before that fight or before that moment, but still though, it's just like I think it feels like much of a fight because it just felt like it just lasted for like an episode or two. I don't know. Maybe I'm tripping, but yeah. Uh aside from that, we got Shigaraji breaking overhaul's arms off while taking advantage of um the Yakuza's research on quirk boosting and eliminating drugs. So Night Eye ends up dying after a spite against Overhaul. Uh, we have two of the best villains to show up in this series Gentle Criminal and Labrava. Criminals that I just can't hate because like I just I just like their energy. Uh Deku ends up learning Air Force, which is like those air can finger flicks. Uh Yui have their school festival, and afterwards, the Japanese hero Billboard has been updated, where Endeavor officially becomes the top hero, followed by Hawks in second, Best Genius in third, Ed Shot in fourth, and Mirko in fifth. I'm not doing the rest of them. We're not here for all that. And then at the end of season four, we have Endeavor and Hawks versus the High Enomu Hood, where Endeavor gives off his first plus ultra prominence burn. Yeah, that was that was epic. I actually I like that one. Yeah, that was a good fight. I'm gonna say it was good. I'm gonna give it top five, but it was good. I don't know why. Like I just think certain things, like certain fights just had like certain weight, like they just some thoughts to it that way.

SPEAKER_01: 1:20:56

Yeah, it was the beginning of his redemption. I think it was a nice touch to start his redemption art.

SPEAKER_04: 1:21:02

Right. And that's the thing about Endeavor, it's like I once again, same thing with Baglio. I didn't fully hate him, but it took me a while to warm up to him. It's like it's kind of a hard still to tell me, like, hey man, like, can you just give him a chance? I don't know. And that's the main thing, that's the whole heart with him and his family, to where, even though, yes, I believe that you're a changed man, but regardless of that, and we're gonna talk about it more anyways when we do part two. Even if you're a changed man, the fact that you've been abusing your family for years, you can't expect them to just gloss over all that, just that quick in less than a year. It's like it's gonna take a while for that to like fool me deal. So I'm like, the best thing you do is just stick to being a changed man, but just don't expect results overnight. Because you did pretty much treat your wife like a baby making machine, and you treated the first three kids like failures until you finally got the kid, the athlete had the power to uh do what you um you wanted him to do. So you trained him harshly to try to overthrow this rival. See, that's the thing. Endeavor is more like Vegeta than Basco is, to where like he's the main one that's like trying to take down his rival. And I'm like, you're even trying to raise your son to eventually uh be better than your rival. Like that's the most diabolical work for me. To where it was almost like he didn't even care that he cared more about beating his rival than being the top hero. He even was like, uh, no, like this doesn't feel right. Like, I I can't, I don't deserve being the top hero like this. Like, I wanted to be the top hero by beating all mine, not him retiring after beating all for one. Yeah, like I think that was just crazy work. But yeah, like I said, uh, I don't fully hate him, and I do like how he gets a redemption art, but it's just not gonna be one of those overnight fixes where he's gonna work on that overtime, like just stick to being a better person and eventually they'll warm up to you. But uh, y'all got anything you want to add on to season four?

SPEAKER_03: 1:23:42

Um, I guess to capitalize on a character like Endeavor, I would say I'd say he's one of those characters or people that despite some of the things he does for redemption and to change himself, it's uh it's a yeah, it's a good thing that he's certainly changing and whatnot. But he's definitely one of those characters to where you have some people that might forgive him eventually down the line. And then you also just have to accept the fact that, you know, while they may acknowledge he's changed man now, they'll still they probably will never forgive him or never forget any of that stuff. And uh honestly, in my book, that's okay. Like he he's just one of those characters where it's like you know, despite the redemption you see from him, it's completely okay if you might not really still like a more, you know, yeah, it's it's very interesting character in that regard.

SPEAKER_04: 1:24:36

Yeah, it's like, yeah, bro, I'm like, I mean, you could have done worse, but I just don't see that smoothing over anytime soon. Like he's gonna have to work on that all the time, you know. And then maybe, because maybe people might like you more. But hey, hey, you know what? I do I kind of do like him more ever since, like, okay, now that he's trying to do better about his family, he's starting to become one of those dads where he cares a lot about his son. Where, you know, like every now and then, like he's trying to uh look at his phones, like waiting for uh Shoto to uh text him back and whatnot. And whenever, like, say for instance Shoto fights some villain and damn near loses his life, or like it was like really bad or whatnot, and then Endeavor would show up, like, Shoto, I'm so glad you're okay. It's like you're not that joding for that type of shit.

SPEAKER_03: 1:25:38

Man, it it's a shame that he wasn't that type of dad from like the the very beginning. Things definitely would have been very different.

SPEAKER_04: 1:25:46

Yeah, like he would have been funny, he would have been a lot funnier uh if it was that case where like if he wasn't as abusive, then I would have found that whole thing funny. Where it's like, yeah, like he has his rival all might maybe his rival and by uh proxy uh Midorio 2, but it would have been more funny to where, like, oh you know, he's he has some good people, you just you know, you just have this one-sided rivalry with all my that's all it is. But no, he went way too far just to beat that man. That's the main problem. Uh you got anything you want to add on the season four?

SPEAKER_01: 1:26:32

No, nothing to add on the season four except just to remark on the same things. Um, just endeavor. Man, it showed his turn as the number one hero. Um, and the burden that it takes to be the number one hero. Uh it ain't just what he thought it was. So other people that come after him will be able to get that same sentiment and him to be able to instill that into his child or children, but his child that becomes the top hero in the future.

SPEAKER_06: 1:27:03

Right.

SPEAKER_04: 1:27:04

Agree. Because hell, Endeavor had to ask All Might, like, hey, yo, so as a former number one hero, tell me what what does it mean to need to assemble a piece? And then All Might, like, man, shit, I don't know what to tell you. Just be the kind of guy that people count on when shit gets dark. Like, brush out, bro.

SPEAKER_01: 1:27:29

You should listen to Oswald. Well, he told Deku and Bakugo, yeah, you're right, forget all that. It takes results.

SPEAKER_04: 1:27:40

No, no, no, for real. It's like, hey man, like, listen, because right now you are like intimidating to like sometimes people are like kind of scared to even talk to you after you save their lives. So it's more like you want to be the type of dude where, okay, okay, uh, for real though, for real though. Like, it's like when I tell the inner circle every now and then to where right now we are a bunch of people who are talking about things that other people might like to talk about, and maybe we might be discovered that way, to where it's like, oh, well, you know, you're a couple of assholes talking about one of my favorite anime. So let me hear them out. Let's see what they gotta say about it. Um, that's when you that's where you start off with, but then eventually, where you want to be is the type of people to where something happens and they want to hear from us um personally and specifically. Like, in other words, perfect example of the whole thing that happened with Shannon Sharp with uh uh with that one girl. And despite all that's going on, I was sitting there like thinking like straight up, I was wondering. I wonder what Dr. Umar might feel about this. Like, I want to hear from here on, I want to hear what he got to say about it. See, that's where you want to be, to where you want to be the type of guy to where uh they will look to you whenever shit goes down. So basically being the similar piece means that okay, yeah, we got a whole bunch of heroes running around, and that's nice and all that, but when shit really goes down, there's you gotta be the main guy people turn to when shit goes down. You know what I'm saying? Like all Mike, he did his thing trying to help others, and they trust him. They love that smile of his. Like they they love how it's like it's just something about where it's like he really inspires hope and all that shit. So it makes sense for people to want to gravitate to him and want to be his fans and shit. It's crazy how Hawk, like I know I'm kind of jumping a little bit. It's crazy how Hawkes looks up to Endeavor, but meanwhile, his mom, who gave Hawks the uh well, Endeavor doll, was like, eh, well, you know, I could have got you the All Might doll, but that's a little dispensive. But this one was right. See, that's the thing, it's like Endeavor, he may be alright, but he's not Almighty like he's not the symbol of peace. So to be the symbol of peace, you gotta be the type of person people can actually look up to rather than just being a job for you. That's true. I like that thing. Yeah, that's all it is to us. Like, hey man, like just be the guy that smiles when things go wrong. Like, don't be that guy that just scowls at everybody that he saves, thinking that, oh well, oh well, I saved your life. Aren't you grateful? No, no, they don't like that shit. They don't like that shit. But uh, yeah, that's all I gotta say about season four. I know I don't go into too much detail, but hey man, it's been almost two hours now. Like, I'm not trying to keep you all fucking. Let's talk about the second movie, Heroes Rising. So the League of Villains, pursued by several heroes, um, driving the truck carrying a life supports capsule, uh, endeavoring tries uh the man to destroy the truck, but the villains revealed to be clones created by twice as it crashes, and come to find out that the figure within the capsule, a villain named Nine, allowed himself to be experimented on by uh the doctor uh who escaped during the crash and regreased with his team of villains to fulfill their dream to create a society uh ruled by those with strong quirks. While the doctor gave him a copy of all one's quirk, he will acquire eight more quirks besides his own weather manipulation. Nine needs a special cellar activation quirk to cure himself of a terminal illness that worsened as a side effect of his modifications. And then while Class 1A has been sent to this remote island, uh Nabu Island, as part of a safety work program, as per usual, they fool around a little bit. Like, see, that's technically the beach episode because you know, like they're in um bikinis and whatnot. So like I want to say the second movie's technically their beach episode. Um but it was all normal up until Nidoria meets the two twins. Uh, what was her name again? Uh Kosuma and uh Mahorum. Yes. Now, when Nine tried to confront their father, trying to get his cell activation quirk, oh, he they stole the quirk, he stole the quirk away from the father, but the problem was it was incompatible to nine's blood type. So he figured, well, thanks to the female that was on the team uh finding a video of his children on the dad's phone. It's like, oh shit, that's right. Course hereditary. So if he don't have uh the right thing that I need, then I need to check out one of these kids. But it can't be the girl Mihoro because she can do illusions. So it had to be the uh son Kazuma. So essentially the whole point of the movie is to protect uh Kazuma from Nai and his gang of villains. And once again, the final fight was the best part about that film. Yep, yep, that's my feelings on it. Because mainly it's about Class 1A fighting some goons. Midoria deals with the main bad guy, Lathering. Different quad, the same bullshit somehow.

SPEAKER_03: 1:34:10

That was uh was that the same trying to remember here, but that's the same movie where Daku had to give part of his powers to Bakugo, right? Or is that a different movie? Yep, you're right. Okay, yeah, I guess uh I definitely pretty much most of people's favorite part, but I definitely feel like for people who are especially Bakugo fans, and they probably had theories like for one of those what ifs to where you know, what if Bakugo had uh one for all instead? And um yeah, it's like it I know that probably made him happy because it was cool to see like seeing his quirk get amplified by that. It's like Jesus, that's that's terrifying. Yeah.

SPEAKER_04: 1:34:54

And that's the thing I want to talk about, to where with Izuku giving Buggell his quirk, I feel like that was also foreshadowing to what's gonna happen uh during the final season, to where I felt like Death Who giving away one for all was bound to happen. It just depended on how they just gonna like see the whole point of one for all is passing the tort to find a successor to uh leave leave the future up to the next generation. So even if on them, you know what? I'm not gonna see about that final season so much because damn shit was popping off in the last four seasons. But I just think it's crazy how it kind of foreshadowed to how would uh Midoria be using his um powers, and eventually he might have to give up one for all, just like all might have to give up one for all. So I just felt like it just uh was bound to happen. But crazy enough, the vestiges was like, yeah, nah, like we'll just stay here. Like, we're not going anywhere, bro. And also, coincidentally, Basigo just completely forgets that he had one for all. So that's why I say that this like uh isolated events, because essentially what just happened is he gave away one for all to Bakugo, but because plot the vessel just was like, nah, uh, we just gonna have to interrupt that transfer. Uh, it's not that, oh well, he uh Bakugo went unconscious before the transfer complete. It was more like the first through seventh holder was like, nah, nah, no, but uh pretty much treated the whole thing like it never happened, like they're never gonna bring that up in the series, so that's why I say that the movies are technically canon. Yeah, you you see people from the movies make an appearance in the series, but it's technically canon because nothing from the movies is gonna have any effect on the series. Yeah, that's true. Yeah, that's the see that's the one thing that kind of pissed me off, though. I'm like, bro, like you're gonna make uh you're gonna have him give up his powers even before he even got a chance to fight Shigaraki and off one, do all the other shit. And like ain't no way, like, bro. I was like, ain't no fucking way y'all just did that. So we're like, oh uh, he he's still gonna have the embers, but eventually it's gonna be the Bapago show. And I'm like, nah, nah, we we're not doing that, we're not doing that for real. We just I was like, it's like we tricky. Like yeah, uh Hero, was there anything you want to talk about with the movie?

SPEAKER_03: 1:38:14

Uh that's that's pretty much about it. I I'd say I probably agree with you on just a bad majority of it too. Like uh, yeah, I think the whole thing between the court transfer of you know Deku Give against power with the Bakugo, I guess temporarily for a good bit there or something like that. And there was even a lot of confusion online about it um between the fandom and you know, as far as reasons, I was like, okay, yeah, this is gonna be a little bit of BS going on, but you know I see the way they were I saw the way they were trying to explain it and the way they were going about it, but it's felt a little bit of BS to it.

SPEAKER_04: 1:38:55

Right. Oh shit. Um that's crazy. I know this is like out of nowhere, but I just now realize that uh when we talk about favorite characters, I was like, wait a minute, hold on. I remember Sebi's favorite character now. It was Isola. Since we would keep talking about Isola, I was like, dang up, dang, that was her favorite character. Okay, okay.

SPEAKER_03: 1:39:15

Yeah, I I made an edit for her uh concerning that.

SPEAKER_01: 1:39:19

Yeah, how he got his name is crazy too.

SPEAKER_04: 1:39:22

Oh, yeah, because uh President Mike. Oh, by the way, President Mike is one of my favorite UA pro heroes because you know, not only with his powers and his personality, but man, like once we know a little bit more about Trugiri, we see more layers. Like, uh, he's not just uh comma relief character, like President Mike just got got some real feelings. But like, yeah, like I like how President Mike was like, uh oh man, he got uh wild ass powers. Like, what should we call? Yeah, like whatever. Like uh You know what, we should call you the racer again. And they was like, yeah, whatever. And then ever since then, I thought I was like, damn, why don't they name me that?

SPEAKER_03: 1:40:10

That shit stuck ever since. Damn, I can't get rid of it now. I gotta stick with it.

SPEAKER_04: 1:40:17

It's like giving people nicknames. I'm like, bro, like once they give you that nickname, there's honestly nothing you can do. There's almost nothing you can do about the nicknames. Like, people gonna call you that uh yeah.

SPEAKER_01: 1:40:31

My mom called me the stupidest name in the world to this day. I'm not gonna say it neither.

SPEAKER_03: 1:40:39

Man, I bet that uh but that one character that looks like a literal spray.

SPEAKER_04: 1:40:46

If you said it, I'm probably gonna be like, yeah, but I'm gonna be saying that a lot now.

SPEAKER_03: 1:40:51

Man, I got I got too many, like just freaking nicknames with my name, and plus uh, I don't know why I'm thinking of this one character that was shown like temporarily, but uh that one character with a freaking spray bottle for a head, that dude has to be called Windex or something. I don't know.

SPEAKER_01: 1:41:06

Like oh no, that's I'll call him Mr. Clean.

SPEAKER_02: 1:41:13

Bruh.

SPEAKER_04: 1:41:15

No, see, at least I would have gave him more credit. I would at least call him Ajax, but yeah, that sounds tougher. Like, okay, okay, okay. What can you do, Ajax? What the fuck can you do? Oh, you know, I just spray windows. Really? I mean, okay, at least the name sounds tough.

SPEAKER_01: 1:41:31

It's the cleanest window you'll ever see in your life.

SPEAKER_02: 1:41:36

I mean, they in the middle of a fight, and you just like I don't know, spray something in their eyes.

SPEAKER_04: 1:41:41

Man, that window can't be so clean. You swear it'll um it was like an invisible wall. It's like you'll be walking right into like, oh damn, I didn't know it was a window there.

SPEAKER_02: 1:41:52

A bird moment.

SPEAKER_04: 1:41:56

You just be kind of like uh a dog or a kid where they just like running around and they didn't know that the uh screen door was closed, so they just ran into it.

SPEAKER_03: 1:42:09

Man, Deku may have been uh pretty depressed when he was you know quirkless, but be glad he weren't just a spray bottle, man. I don't I don't want to be a spray bottle. I think I I'd rather be quirkless to then look like a spray bottle. I'm just saying.

SPEAKER_04: 1:42:24

Can you imagine if he had the quirk, if his quirk was the ability to spray invisible walls in front of him, and you could just it could be a pretty good defensive power, but like the only way you can do it like offensively, if it's like that shit from uh that one anime with the uh they're kind of like priests, but they use barrier magic, uh Kakaishi. Yeah, where it's like they use like these cube barriers to try to kill demons. If it was like that, then uh okay, that's kind of crazy. But nah, I'm I'm I'm just kind of fucking around for the most part. But uh yeah, like the movies. I'm gonna be honest with you, like I'm not trying to discount the movies, but uh I'm just gonna be honest with you. Like, for the most part, it's like, yeah, there were things happening, like they had like a different plot where it's like, okay, first move was more about the island um being uh under hostage by um people that were hired to be pretend villains, but they turn out they wanted to be villains real. But then you have the second movie where it's more about this separate group of villains that's looking for a certain somebody to steal the quirk, and they'll have the power they need to take out the world and shit. I'm like, yeah, like different plots, but it just felt like it had the same structure in all the movies where uh class 1A is having fun doing something until something happens. Meanwhile, that class one a is fighting the goons. Midorian has to deal with the main bad guy, and he does some epic bullshit at the end, and that's the movie. Yeah, that's true. It's like it kind of put structurally, it plays out the same way, but like we actually pay attention, they're not bad, just you know, in a way that just all four of them feel like the same movie. It just structurally just feels like the same movie, yeah. I can I can uh understand me there. So that's why the main reason why I kind of go out and over the details of my eh, you know. Um, yep. That was four seasons and two movies. So this is our stopping point. Uh, but before we go into intermission, I'm sure y'all don't got anything you want to add on?

SPEAKER_03: 1:45:09

Uh that's about it for me. Yeah, I'm good.

SPEAKER_04: 1:45:14

All right, well, we're gonna go ahead and take this break, and when we come back, oh man, like trust me, compared to this part, I was holding back. Like, when we get to seasons five through eight and the two movies, a whole different energy, a whole lot more to talk about, especially because there was like some things like uh Gentle Criminal and LaBrava to where, like, yeah, I didn't talk about them much when they were introduced, but mainly because I want to talk about how they contributed to the war more so than them just trying to infiltrate UA just for shits and giggles, you know. I'm like, eh, you know, it was kind of funny, it was kind of cute, but uh it wasn't much to talk about for me. It's just more like, okay, well, I like these two characters, but yeah, I don't got much to say about their first encounter with Eidoria. But like when we get to the war, okay, here's some shit that we can talk about with their involvement. But yep, let's just go ahead and take this break and we'll be right back. And we're back. Let's go ahead and finish the My Hero Academia Extreme Review. And Sebbie, I am so glad that you're on for this part because there's a bunch of things that I wanted to talk to you about with you missing part one. Uh, how do you feel about the first four seasons, um, by the way?

SPEAKER_00: 1:46:49

So I think when it came to the first, like, I'm gonna start off with like season one. Season one was your basic, like, oh, meet Midoria. Here he is, eat this type of thing, you know. The whole the whole nine yards getting to introduce all the characters and stuff like that, your typical season one nonsense.

SPEAKER_04: 1:47:11

I I think it's kind of funny how it it gave now, okay. Going back, I didn't think of it at first the first time around, but nowadays, when I see that scene, it it kind of gives off that same vibe, like Evangelian, where uh damn, I got I forgot that voice name already. Like that's how you can tell I need to uh do a review on Evangelion because like I I remember bits and pieces of it, but damn, like I barely remember watching it. But like point being is that this kid gets pressured into getting into the robot, but uh in this case it's more like hey, eat this. I don't like it kind of gave off that get in the robot vibe, but that's just me watching a whole bunch of mecha anime where it kind of plays off that way. In fact, uh anime that I'm gonna be reviewing for February that reminds me of a certain magical girl anime that you all familiar with. Uh, she also pretty much gets that same treatment to where like she's just this average girl just trying to live her life, and then next thing you know, this strange person comes along and tell her, Hey, we need to get you in the robot. Uh but uh continue.

SPEAKER_00: 1:48:31

Um I have to say season two in the first four. Season two is one of my favorite seasons in my hero academia. We meet one of my favorite hero. Well, not really hero. We meet one of my favorite characters, Stain. Like, I have fan fiction, not really fanfiction like that, but like I've written fan fiction just from my primarily on Stain, like all the time.

SPEAKER_04: 1:48:59

I like oh, I'm glad you brought that up because I told Tuck and Hero, hey yo, am I the only one thinking that hey yo stain looks kind of like Afro Samurai a little bit?

SPEAKER_00: 1:49:15

I never put that comparison together.

SPEAKER_04: 1:49:17

No, it was only during the rewatch where I'm looking at him like, hey yo, we kind of look like Afro Samurai. The way his hair was um blowing in the breeze when we first see him for the first time, and seen like Coin of Sword, and uh, I think it was either Kurogiri or Sigaraki, and it's like he's giving me Afro Samurai applause right now. I think uh the uh character design also helps where it's like not just the hair, but it's like the band-aid and all that where like he just looks like he was uh fucked out of the Afro Samurai world and is thrown into this world. Let's give him a quirk while we're at it.

SPEAKER_00: 1:49:58

Like I can't tell Sang. Sane is one of my favorite characters other than Aizawa. That's that's my husband. Um, but I I have an OC that's with like with Stane and everything. Like, that's my character.

SPEAKER_06: 1:50:14

My best friend, hero.

SPEAKER_00: 1:50:16

It's my best friend.

SPEAKER_05: 1:50:17

Welcome back to the show. How you doing?

SPEAKER_04: 1:50:25

Doing good, doing good. Finally, we have you and Sebi at the same time.

SPEAKER_06: 1:50:31

Best friend.

SPEAKER_04: 1:50:35

Yeah, uh hero. Uh, if you don't mind, I'm just getting Sebi's uh POV on the first four seasons of My Hero and then the two movies, and then we'll get on to the second part. But uh Sebi, you continue?

SPEAKER_00: 1:50:49

Uh T and three the Hasasaki arc, you know, the whole, oh my gosh, go to the training camp. Oh wait, ha, you thought so. Have death, you know, pretty much. Like, yeah, you can you it's the least of your worries, but here you go, you're going to struggle to survive.

SPEAKER_04: 1:51:12

Yeah, that's the crazy thing about Mind Hero, to where if you're a fan of Naruto, you probably can see the correlations to it, to where I talked about this during the Naruto stream review, to where it's crazy how these kids, uh Rookie 9 and all the rest of them, like let's just focus on the uh teenagers, the preteens that was involved, where essentially these kids are being trained to be like child soldiers, and eventually they go and fight in a war that had nothing to do with them. And crazy enough, it shows up here to where, yeah, you know, they're heroes and whatnot, but turns out there's this thick ass plot, and they get swept up in that shit. Like, imagine it's like Harry Potter all over again. Imagine you going to school for the first time to Hogwarts, right around the time Boldemore decide to wage war on the wizard world, and you're like, Man, I just got here and I'm already fighting my life. But no, uh, obviously, still, but uh, go ahead.

SPEAKER_00: 1:52:25

Um, and then season four. I like season four a lot. We get we get eerie. I love her, she's so cute. I think she's overpowered as fuck, but hey, gotta have one of them or multiple of them as we continue on with this anime. Cause just watching, because I rewatched a couple of the episodes and went, wow, a lot of these kids are overpowered as crap.

SPEAKER_05: 1:52:52

Yeah, right.

SPEAKER_00: 1:52:54

But yeah, I like you, she's cute.

SPEAKER_04: 1:52:57

Cool, cool, cool. And that was it for all four seasons?

SPEAKER_00: 1:53:00

Yeah, I'm pretty straightforward when it comes to my hero academia, someone who's been in the fandom since high school. This was my this is my passion project. Like I said, I've written fan fiction, I've got OCs, I cosplayed, I did the whole nine yards.

SPEAKER_04: 1:53:17

God damn, you're making me feel old. Because first of all, I cosplayed a decade, so I'm like, I feel you on the top score. Second of all, you're making me feel old to where I'm like, bro, you watched this during high school, man.

SPEAKER_00: 1:53:28

It was like when did this come out again?

SPEAKER_04: 1:53:30

I want to say like seven years after I graduated high school, that's when uh it popped up. And I'm like, well, no, not seven years. That's like I over exaggerate. It was seven years since I graduated, yeah, but like it was like right around the corner, like a few years. Like, I'm gonna say by the time my hero came out, it will be around the time I'm like 25 or something like that.

SPEAKER_00: 1:53:57

Me and Hero were just about to graduate when it came when it hit um Crunchyroll.

SPEAKER_04: 1:54:04

Damn. Damn.

SPEAKER_00: 1:54:07

I feel I I don't know how that feels. I got called old today by my owner's son, and he's like, You're getting old. I'm like, thanks. I'm almost in my 30s.

SPEAKER_04: 1:54:20

Man, I mean, at least they're like, oh well, um, you're getting old, start a family, you know, like uh how they be treating some of these uh streamer girls who are like in their 30s or like close to their 30s, and they're like, bro, like how come you don't got me kids by now? Like, you know, uh time's a ticking, you know that rabbit meme with the clock. Now I'm like, oh, those eggs not gonna last forever. I'm like, bro, y'all, okay, cope however y'all want to. Like, those girls are gonna stay rich regardless.

SPEAKER_00: 1:54:55

I'm gonna say they're gonna be rich for the rest of their lives. Well, you're buying ramen, they're buying filet, and y'all, I'm just saying.

SPEAKER_04: 1:55:03

Yeah, like I'm pretty sure they took they they realize the sacrifice they made to get the bag, and I'm like, hey yo, I'm not even judging them because as someone who's I'm not greedy, but I'm I'm out for the bag, honestly. Like mainly just to uh provide for my family and do more for myself and maybe my friends. Like, if uh my friends say, like, hey yo, we need to go on a vacation, like you know, like they want to uh visit Japan or whatnot, and like I got the bread for them, like yeah, let's go. Wait hold on, you got the money, yeah. Let's go. Fuck it. Like, I want to be so rich to where I'm like, hey yo, like don't worry about PTO, I'm your PTO.

SPEAKER_00: 1:55:51

I'm your PTO. We like that.

SPEAKER_04: 1:55:55

Yeah. But uh speaking of overpowered, how do you feel about the two movies, especially the second movie where we get introduced to nine and he had like a knockoff version of all for one, but he can only use nine quirks, uh including his natural-born quirk. How do you feel about those two movies?

SPEAKER_00: 1:56:16

Okay, so nine. Okay, I'm gonna go with nine. I really and fucking hate nine. I hate everything about this man.

SPEAKER_04: 1:56:28

Like I mean, I'm not gonna disagree, but I'm serious.

SPEAKER_00: 1:56:31

This all for one knockoff. I'm sorry.

SPEAKER_04: 1:56:35

I mean, he is. I mean, he literally got his powers from all for one, just for sure rocket is show up and like, oh well, I turns out you're not as useful as I thought you were. Let me go ahead and put you out of misery.

SPEAKER_00: 1:56:47

But I mean, you he's got the mask, like, come on, like he he's got the whole thing going on with him, and that's perfectly fine. I don't mind, but what do you mean? You only have you can only use nine, like whatever the case may be.

SPEAKER_04: 1:57:03

I mean, I mean, to be fair, I feel like with all for one, if he gave him like a one-for-one copy of all for one, then that's just another threat that he needs to worry about. Like, fuck off one for all. Like, I need to deal with this dude. It'll be a repeat all over again to where once again you underestimate the person that you keep giving quirks to just for them to bite you in the ass later. Like, he can't have another repeat like that. So I'm like, I don't blame him for only giving him nine, like nine slots.

SPEAKER_00: 1:57:34

Another thing is one more thing. When it comes to this movie, here it's Heroes Rising, right? I think it's Heroes Rising. Yeah, um, what parents signed off for these kids to go to some remote island to do this? I'm sorry. This I'm sorry.

SPEAKER_04: 1:57:52

You know what? I I've been circling around the block enough times when it comes to anime to a point to where like some things just don't make sense, and I'm tired of angering myself asking questions because just keep in mind that remember Pokemon, like 10 years, 10-year-old kids just being like, Oh, well, you're 10 years old, time for you to go see the world and camp with your friends, and who knows if I ever see you again.

SPEAKER_00: 1:58:19

Right. Like, you'll be fine, I think.

SPEAKER_04: 1:58:24

Yeah, I mean, yeah, there's like a whole bunch of giant bugs and ghosts running around, but I'm pretty sure it'd be fine. You got your Pikachu, right? You can get you'll be alright.

SPEAKER_00: 1:58:34

And then the other movie, what's that's uh that's a two heroes?

SPEAKER_04: 1:58:38

That's uh two heroes with uh Melissa the blonde.

SPEAKER_00: 1:58:42

Yeah. Um you know, when I first saw this movie, I was like, oh, we're gonna get, you know, some background, get a little little hint of, you know, um, all might, you know, and then I really don't like his younger design. I'm sorry.

SPEAKER_04: 1:59:04

Crazy enough, he looks older than when he's in his prime.

SPEAKER_00: 1:59:09

Correct. You're exactly right. Maybe it's because I can see his eyes.

SPEAKER_04: 1:59:13

Yeah, that's what it was. It's like, hold on, you have eyes? Well, okay, okay, to be fair, he does he did have eyes, but it's like it was black with uh blue irises, so it's like, okay, it's kind of uh especially when it's like you don't really see that all too often at that time, it's more like black slips for eyes, and it's like, okay, well, and also, you know, the shading of the color, you know, like he really coming off like a real superhero. Like, man, he's the only one in the whole show to where I dare say that he just keeps that detailing in the face and whatnot to where like he just drawn like a comic book superhero to where that's kind of the point of all my where I believe where he's supposed to be like this Superman uh. Rip off, but they didn't want to give him all those powers, like uh all for one and one for all when Deku like uh get access to the vestiges and whatnot to where don't make it too obvious that he's a superman knockoff because it's bad enough that Deku's like ripping him off, where we don't want to just simply be like, oh, so Deku's uh rip-off of a ripoff.

SPEAKER_00: 2:00:22

I was gonna say, and then the other hero that I absolutely think is just another version of all for one ripoff is Royal Fram. Like, what do you mean? It's to me, like I get the whole quirk amplifications, like you know, all of that nonsense, and then that was really big going into the whole eerie and all that nonsense, but still, like you get muscle augmentation and then metal manipulation, you don't get two quirks. I'm sorry, that's not how that works. I don't even think a Zooka should have like 14 different quirks all in one. You get one.

SPEAKER_04: 2:01:02

I feel like I feel like the only reason why they did that because ain't no way he's gonna be Shigaraki, which is oh, I just hit him real hard. I'm like, technically that's how he won, but it's almost like you need more than that because like Shigaraki, he got when he inherits one for all, it's like he has so many powers. Like, what the fuck are you gonna do against that if you just on your on the ground with no floating, no levitation, none of that, and you just punching him. I'm like, bro, he's gonna have the upper hand every fucking time. So I'm like, yeah, it it kind of makes sense for him to be overpowered, but I'm not complaining too hard based on how ridiculous some people can be. And speaking of one, excuse me, excuse me. Speaking of all my rip off, we're gonna talk about that last movie where the biggest offender of that shows up. But before we even get into that, uh by the way, was that all you had to say on the two movies, Civic?

SPEAKER_00: 2:02:11

Oh, one more thing. Even Horikoshi was like, I don't like this villain. I wish I made Wolfram more better. That's all.

SPEAKER_04: 2:02:20

That's the main thing with the first move. The first okay, I said this in part one, but all four of these movies feel the same to me. Different plot, but structurally, it plays out the same. Okay, check this out. You have something going down, something going on with the villain or whatnot, uh, McGuffins or whatever. The kids, and maybe all Mike, maybe Isawa or whoever the case may be, going around having a vacation and whatnot. Seeing this new place and whatnot. Next thing you know, things start popping off. Class 1A, deal with the goons, Midoria, and in one case, All Might and another case Boslio in the first two movies, where it's like they handle the main guy, and the final fight is the best part about the whole movie. But when I saw all four movies, I'm like, bro, in a way, structurally, these movies are the same.

SPEAKER_00: 2:03:24

I think that's what the seasons, also, to me at least. Like, again, going to the whole kids are in school, kids train. Oh, look, something bad happened. Oh, look, they gotta go do this. Oh, wait, they're gonna do their whole agency arc. Oh my gosh, they win. Ta-da! Next season.

SPEAKER_04: 2:03:44

Yeah, honestly, I would say the only time they kind of broke away from that was at season seven because right then they were just like nothing but war. Well, except the final movie. Which, by the way, I also mentioned how technically, even though the events of the movies don't affect the plot of the series that much, but because there are uh a couple of characters like Melissa who makes cameos in the series, technically the movies are canon, but that kind of makes it worse for me because that implies that these people, well, the last two movies, especially the last two movies, you're telling me that in mid-war, y'all decide, hey yo, there's this side quest we gotta do. Nah, straight enough, like in the middle of the war, like I think it was like after uh Shigaraki was put in that tube so he can inherit one for all. Excuse me, I'm getting messed up all for one. Uh, he was resting up from the last battle and they're trying to repair his body and whatnot, prepare him for uh the war. They were like, okay, let's go handle this All Might impersonator over here. Like, oh sure, he chooses now to get active when instead of back in season three, when All Might plant the camera set your next, and I'm like, oh, he should have got active right after that. I don't know, maybe that's just me. But uh, yes, let's go ahead and get into these four seasons and these last two we've seen wrap it all up. Season five, joint training and mind villain academia. So, Deku learns more about the vested remnants of the previous holders of one for all. Uh, class one a have another training art, this time against class 1B. Class 1A learns and practices improvised moves. Deku excavates Black Whip for the first time. Bakugo and Todoroki take their makeup test for the provisional license. During Midoria's Bakugo's and Todoroki's time under Endeavor, we learn more about the meta liberty liberation war and the army led by Destro, who believed that society should have personal responsibility over themselves. In other words, there shouldn't be heroes or villains. Just hey, everybody, just take care of your own. Uh at this point, I was really warming up to Hawks at this point because same with Bakugo and Endeavor, crazy enough. Like Endeavor was like the hardest self, but like I kind of understand he's trying to redeem himself. Bakugo, once again, at this point, I realized that yeah, he just one of those kids where he just had trouble expressing how he really feels, so he expresses himself through anger and whatnot. We learn more about the deceased, quote unquote, Toya Todoroki. We were gonna learn that uh he kind of pulled the obito on us. We learn that Kurogiri is like a high-end nomu with the corpse and corp of Obro Shirakumo, an old friend of Aizawa and President Mike. Shigeraki fights Gigantomakia to prove himself worthy of all for one successor. While he we also get backstory on how he met Awful One. The hands that Shigaraki wears is the hands of his deceased family, a reminder of the tragic life of Tenko Shimura. You learn more about the doctor, uh, quote unquote Dharma Ujiko, who actually goes by uh Kyudai uh Garaki. Uh Awful One's right-hand man, his main boy, the same guy that told Deku that he was quirkless, and given the diagnosis of why he's quirkless. Same dude. Turns out he was 120 years old with his life force quirkless. Uh, after a month of battling the giant brute, Shigaraki and his gang receives a call from the leader of the meta liberation army, re death row, the son of Death Road, the unknown. Because it's kind of like what happened with August and Fairy Tale, where oh damn, like uh Zero didn't even know he had a feeling like this. I know. Uh anyways, Re Death Ro is rising up as well. Shigaraki makes the plan to have Gigantomakia smash up the 110,000 members of the Metal Liberation Army, kind of like Goku and Vegeta using Frieza to distract Broly. We get back to her Himikotoga as he fights the army members curious in battle. Her quirk, her quirk. I'm sorry, uh fucking up. Her quirk awakens, allowing her to use the quirk of the people she can transform into. Shigaraki can now use decay on targets he didn't touch, but at a certain range, you know, like whatever he decayed and whatever uh decay touch that also decays. So it's more like a domino effect in that sense. But it gets fucking crazy. Uh that's why I say if anybody, Shigaraki is definitely overpowered, even without all the one. Spice gets over his trauma and learned how to make a lot of copies. The abilities 80% of the population have used used to be called meta abilities until Redeathro's mother coined the term quirk as part of a plea to defend her son for being born with their powers at the cost of her life, which is crazy to our life. Um, so that's where quirk comes from. Shigaraki defeats Redethro, and I can see why he looks like Dr. Dufens merch now. And now the League of Villains absorbed the army and became the paranormal liberation front because they wanted to sound more meta and villains just seemed like oh well. See, that's the thing. That's what I love when villains don't believe that they're villains. That's a true villain right there, because it's like what some people say the devil's greatest trick is convincing the world that he never existed in the first place. A real villain will never tell you that they're evil. Like, that's just cartoon shit. But uh, that's just me. Hawks have been playing double agent, uh, knowing that Dobby kidnapped um Beth Genet and they try to play it off like they killed him, but that's not the case. They try to play it at all. And while Shigaraki seems uh seems more powerful, like seeking more power, we learn from the doctor about the quirk singularity, where with each generation, the stronger it's gonna get to a point where these quirks will get stronger and stronger to a point where it's gonna be unstoppable and it's just gonna ruin the world that way. So quirk evolution theory. Oh, so I am so you're on a poor part too because it's gonna get weird to not talk about the finale without you. Starting with you, how you feeling about season five?

SPEAKER_01: 2:11:01

I want us to say how I feel about season five, but I want to ask y'all a question first. Go ahead. So, what do you think of hero society as a whole at this point? And do you think that the previous society led to this point, or do you think that the quirks involved led up to this point?

SPEAKER_04: 2:11:22

Good question. Because it's like I told it's like what I said in part one, to where power makes a person more of themselves. Where it's like, do we blame the quirk or do we blame the people? Because people can have overpowered quirks and do good with them, like Shinzo, the mind controller, and he's trying to use his power for good, and then you have people like all for one, Shigaraki, and whatnot, to where they just want either domination or destruction. So for and it's crazy how, like, before you said the second part, I was like thinking how you feel about heroes and sighting um as of now. It's crazy because nowadays it was becoming more meta to where what if we don't really need heroes? Kind of like what the whole point of Death Sro's philosophy with the meta liberation army, where what if we just handle ourselves and you know govern ourselves? I wanna say quirks didn't exactly cause this to happen. It's more like, hey, you know, quirks just popped up. Like, who could predict that? It's really a matter of how we went about it. Like, see, the fact is, my hero, just like to be hero X, just like the boys, just like a bunch of shows and movies that's doing this, it's like they're using capitalism for hero work to the point where are they even being heroes for real, or is it more like a job to them? Is it more like oh a popularity contest or whatnot? And it's almost like if we took hero work more seriously, like being a cop or being a fireman risking their life, which they do, but they kind of make it sound like capitalized, like, oh, uh, it just feels like something they do for fun. Like you got so many people saying that, oh well, people just go to school, just to be a hero, just to risk their lives, and I'm like y'all kind of y'all kind of discounting the direness of hero work. So I want to say I can't blame the quirks because it's all it's just like a gun. A gun is harmless when there's nobody wielding it like it. If you put a gun on the floor, how is it gonna hurt anybody? But if somebody picks it up and point at somebody, now it's more dangerous. So I want to say the people brought it to that point, especially with the with the damn. I'm I'm lost for words right there, because that was a really good question, especially with the discrimination and prejudice behind people who have certain quirks, like the hero morph, for instance, where like, hey, they can't help but being born the way that they are, and they got criticized and ostracized for that, and that's what caused them to go crazy the way that they did. So, yeah, that was a really good question. But like, I want to say it just led to a point where people just did that to themselves, you know. And maybe we should take this as a lesson to where, yeah, you know what? What oh, you know what? It's funny how uh Sammy, you know exactly what I'm talking about, to where like we watched Grand Belm, which we're gonna review later on. And the main point is what if the world was better without magic? And I guess that's the kind of point of uh my hero to where between Death Throw, re-death throw, uh hero killer thing, like uh what if the world was better without these phony heroes or these overpowered superpowers that's making things worse because at some point it's just gonna be like the quirk singularity where people gonna keep trying to obtain more power to a point where it gets out of control.

SPEAKER_01: 2:15:48

But yeah, that was a big ramble, but uh it was it was a good question, man.

SPEAKER_03: 2:15:58

Hero was uh you asked a question of um said what was it again between quirks and people?

SPEAKER_01: 2:16:07

It the question overall was going about society. What do you think of the hero society at this point? And the the things that led up to this point, do you think it was because of the hero society as it was, or because of the villains or because of the heroes?

SPEAKER_03: 2:16:22

Uh probably no, hold on, hold on.

SPEAKER_04: 2:16:24

I'm sorry, hero, I'm sorry, but uh so keep in mind, like literally, I talked about this in part one to where all for one gave his brother a a sockpod quirk, assuming that oh, it's gonna be useful. Well, he ain't gonna do nothing with it. Turns out that created one for all, and one for all was a product of all for one, and they even said themselves that justice was born from evil. So if I'm blaming anyone, I would rather blame the villains specifically, because if it wasn't if there's not any villains, there wouldn't be heroes, and there wouldn't be this whole uh arms race when it comes to quirks. But uh yeah, Hero, go ahead.

SPEAKER_03: 2:17:10

I don't know. Uh I basically said I'd probably pretty much agree with the majority of what you said, but I would also say that uh pretty much quirks becoming a thing as it manifests. Uh majority of I would I would say quirks are the catalyst, and much to the comparison of how you would say a gun is it's not a bad thing on its own, but until somebody picks it up and uses it, obviously, and you know, even depending on the situation, it can obviously be dangerous. And when the manifestation of quirks came into the sexual powers, um that's when the society and the whole world changed, and you know, heroes were born and villains are born, and you can pretty much say it's like yin and yang. Uh, you pretty much can't have light without darkness, and you can't have darkness without light. But overall, it really is just mostly on the people because you can really decide what you want to do with the quirks um as the individual. And comparing back to the time of Deku versus Todoroki, this was specified of that too. Because even in the flashback of when Todoroki was with his mother watching TV with All Might, it was also said that, you know, why he says, I am here, because it specifies that it is your quirk, and of course, you're free to do what you can with it. But overall, that would probably be my statement. I would also agree to say that it's mostly the people and what they're doing with the quirks, and ever since they came into the manifestation in the world, it changed a lot of things, and because of it, it has made you know pretty much more heroes and more villains, and it basically introduced a lot more conflicts or more problems. It might have introduced solutions as well, but it definitely came with its fair share of problems. But that's my overall answer on it.

SPEAKER_05: 2:19:01

My thoughts on that, my thoughts about that. Sebbie, um, your thoughts on this.

SPEAKER_00: 2:19:07

I totally think it's it's the people to be fair and honest. I I a hundred percent agree with you all in the aspect of if you if you have kid A who's got a fire quirk, and kid B that has a plant growing quirk. And the kid burns down, the fire quirk burns down the plant quirk. What do you see where I'm going with this? Like it's it's the people entirely, it's it's the same aspect of as you guys said. If a gun is on the ground and someone picks it up and points at who's the bad guy here.

SPEAKER_04: 2:19:41

Right. See the uh the the person with the fire quirk could just left the plant quirk alone. But uh, if you're just causing malice just because you felt like doing it, then that's not the quirk's fault, that's your fault.

SPEAKER_00: 2:19:57

Exactly. And and that's where I

SPEAKER_04: 2:20:00

think we're um and again going on with the people as well so let's take uh I'll take senzo for example since he's got a pretty quirk a pretty cool quirk that can be misconstrued as a villain quirk per se um it's a if someone goes oh my gosh Sinzo's a villain because oh he can mind control you know and and if that constantly happened if he didn't have that hero mindset what do you think that would look into as if Shinzo decided to go well if no one's gonna respect me as a hero they might as well respect me as a villain bro that's crazy because that's literally what Barnacle voice said in that one episode when he decided to become a villain it was like oh well if you're not gonna give me the respect I deserve as a hero then you're gonna respect me as a villain a villain who bro like but no you're right you're right like Jinzo could have gone down that route but gladly he had that support system with all those people saying uh hey Shinzo you did a good job out there like you you probably can be a hero after all like um Dory Lear said hey yo like uh your power is yours like you can be a hero if you want to and I was just gonna say that it's once again like I know some of you weren't on for part one but once again I'm saying you're like if things were different he could end up like he would call Toga to where if she had that support system and you know the whole thing with her and Uraraka like that whole thing. So we're gonna talk about it even anyway but I'm just saying like if things were different uh Toga could have been a hero but nope like even her own family was like nah like hey yo what are you doing like why are you smiling like that and I'm like hey yo like Toga just built their mother like he like she straight up like people that she hurt like she kind of gets off of like she kind of wired differently where like hey yo that's just one of those things where you gotta uh understand how she functions then you get work with her but uh they didn't want to do that so she went down the road she did it hell same thing with uh fucking Dobby to where like if he got that support system instead of the way he got treated by Endeavor and whatnot he wouldn't have been a villain so it's really crazy oh bro it's attachment theory in a general to where I know you're a father so definitely listen to this but to anybody who's out there as a parent listen I'm gonna keep saying this I'm gonna keep saying this as long as I live that how you treat your child can affect how they function as an adult so be careful with what you say and what you do because they're gonna take that to heart and they're gonna take it a thousand miles into the adulthood yeah it's all about a matter of perspective right so if you're looking at let's say you're looking at the political sphere of today's society you got Democrats you got Republicans nobody can really be independent because independence rarely win anything so you're forced to be in a bubble in that same manner you got to look at um like all for one and the first user they seeing stuff from a different perspective when they're looking at a comic book same thing for Ton and Deku one sees all might smiling and saving everybody one sees him just winning it's all in matter of perspective can I take it one step further like we did the Attack on Titan review and remember how we said how Armin and Aaron was looking at the history book the geography books and whatnot and Armin was like hey man like seeing the rest of the world sounds awesome and then Aaron's like yeah yeah that would be awesome but they took it two different ways no that's that's a fact like I'll still say Armin's dream I mean Aaron's plan was a corruption of Armin's dream like Armin just wanted to see the world Aaron wanted to see the world by any means necessary even if he had to kill to do it but I'm not trying to build up by Aaron Yeah I'm just saying like it's kind of like that where they both looked at the same material but took it two different ways but um was that on your season five overall in season five couple of things I wanted to hit on um so there's a difference between the manga and the actual anime right so in the manga the villain art happens before the endeavor agency art and the anime switched them but that that kind of ruined the tension because you didn't know if like the villain survived or not um but in the anime it's a little different because you already know they survived like okay fair enough and then Deku's quirk singularity you the quirks are evolving at this point. You see all the different kinds of quirks evolving and then Deku's quirk singularity leads to black will um we we focus a little bit more on the the redemption of endeavor uh as we deep dive into the total family trauma and uh that dinner scene bruh like listen not so wasn't having any of that I'm like man I can't sit here and pretend that this motherfucker over there didn't do what he did to my mom and my siblings right this crazy and then uh senzo the joint training and pacing uh I think it was kind of a little slow um it took a little bit too long it took about half the season um but it led to a good outcome for the future and then you I like that the tone shifts that's the best thing about that whole season the tone just go from a lighthearted school settings to like a dark villain centric origin story and the production choices with them made it a great season you know what's crazy I thought this was like the last slow season of the series because like crazy enough like most of season five was like them just having the typical school life um thing going on and it wasn't till like halfway into season five maybe maybe like the last five episodes that's when they focused on the villains I almost uh wrote this off like damn like season five is almost uneventful as uh fucking season one to where like yeah season one was like the introductory art so I'm not gonna give it too much flat but uh excluding season one it felt like season five was like the slowest like uh all the other seasons like at least something was like popping up in both sides of the season like part one and part two uh core where it's like something was always popping off in those but uh season five just felt like eh you know they just doing their thing like normal school life and whatnot and then next thing not they got switch over to the villains and uh you see them uh racking up trying to accumulate power and all that but yeah it was a good season but felt a little slow all right uh we need to go ahead and try to keep it moving so movie three world heroes mission essentially I'm gonna make this real quick because I got a bunch of notes but we got three more seasons in a movie that I'll talk about so I'll make this real quick a doomsday cult called uh humorise uh believes that quirks will eventually become so powerful that they'll bring about the extinction of humanity like I just said the quirks uh because of this they planted bombs all over the world filled with trigger gas which kills quirk users by driving their quirks out of control and dying in the process and their leader fleck turn plans to use these bombs to save humanity by killing the quirk population once again uh this is what happens when people see these quirks and be like oh like we gotta get ahead of this like kind of on some accelerationist type shit where we need to go through these measures to make sure that human humanity goes back to not having quirks so it's it's kind of the same thing like this guy's kind of stealing overhaul's flow to where instead of those bullets with uh quirk deleting uh rounds it's like okay let's just use gas this time so I'm like yep this is pretty much uh overhaul knockoff here and essentially Vidoria and class one eight handle staff the last fight is obviously gas and um I'm trying to think um no I'm good like I just I just thought the last fight was great but uh outside of that plot right there about the same thing uh it's mainly it's really this time around class 1A well not most of them but uh mainly cos uh it's mainly baking go and totoroki that was involved it was like mainly those three where they bakingo and totoroki handles everybody else while Vidoria fights quite that's about it uh y'all got any thoughts on royal heroes mission uh none here that's that's that's about all I could pretty much say for it too it was obviously I agree with the last fight being uh that was that was animated very nicely too yes yeah that last fight that last scene was dope as crap man and the it it really counters because the first the first scene is dope too the entrance oh man the entrance and exit so the beginning scene and the end scene peak yes and it led to the most peak of seasons season six oh boy I can't wait to talk about season six before we get into that um talk what's all you had on it yeah that's all I have gotcha and Febby do you have any notes on world's hero mission the only thing is that we actually get to meet another one of my favorite characters Roddy and that was about it yeah your Roddy was cool he's cool season six paranormal war and dark hero my boy Jacku the arc he went on in this arc here who the heroes both pro and aspiring begin their plan of attack on the paranormal liberation front uh Mirko versus Dr. Garaki and the Nomu's I thought the fight was pretty good it's unfortunate that Mirko losing an arm a leg and half her uh rabbit ears like one of the rabbit ears like one of them gets torn off that's unfortunate uh hawks versus twice uh we find out that Hawks decided okay yeah at this point I'm just gonna go ahead and betray you now and Twice like what why are you doing this I thought we were friends I'm like see that's the problem the too trusting so that's what you asked get and then he ends up killing twice and Dobby's just like even though the dude wasn't crying like his because he uh explained that his tear dust literally burned off where I'm like hey yo don't don't let this smile fool you I'm really pissed off like and what kind of hero goes around killing people like I like that was crazy but uh keeping it going Shigaraki awakens from his capsule and immediately used decay destroyed Jacku hospital and the surrounding area gaining the power of all one which was crazy like as soon as he got that part and started showing out bro I was like bro that boy Shigaraki which leads to the first fight between Midoria and Shigaraki and let's just say Midoriya was not ready. He was not ready yet Aiza ends up cutting off his own leg to prevent his quirk from being deleted and loses his right eye in the battle yeah like that's the thing that's the crazy thing about this anime and this war to where you can tell that some of these characters are not gonna walk out of it the same word some people lose limbs eyes and whatnot like scars like this a real war like this isn't one of those oh well everything's all good everybody came out us game even if they got hurt is like oh well we can fix that no problem no no they are losing limbs and shit losing lives and shit and yeah uh Deku uses float and danger sense for the first time uh Udaraka and Toga fights again Dobby reveals that he is Toyota Todoroki exposing Debra online by the way that was a crazy moment right there to where we who the fuck is surprised Dobby was Toyota because I knew that shit way back in as soon as I saw those blue planes I'm like those blue flames and those blue eyes I'm like is that Todoroki's brother I bet you that's Todoroki's brother and he's supposed Endeavor in like a 40 test move oh man I was waiting for this moment but the fact that all might retire early and now endeavor's the number one oh even better ooh even better I can ruin his reputation even harder now that he's number one that was crazy but not as crazy as Lamillion regaining his quirk in time to help the war and best genius arriving in clutch like I thought best genius died but turns out he didn't and I'm glad that Lamillion did get his quirk back awful one manages to take control of Sigaraki's body and made his escape to recover his own body Dr. Garaki Redestrogan Mr Compress and over 1000 army members well front members were arrested while Midnight and the other heroes died in battle and what pissed me off was Midnight died off screen. Like what the fuck happened? Yeah all for one and Sigaraki break into the metahuman super jail Tartarus to reclaim all for one's body this caused the villains captured to be released into the wall breaking out prisoners from other prisoners as well just you know coverage tracks where all for one just didn't want to make it look obvious that this was planned so let's break out the other prisoners so give him the sniffer for some uh we get backstory on Hawkes his criminal father was arrested by Endeavor his mother sold him off to be trained as a hero and he ends up being like this assassin hero and I'm like wow crazy like that really buggy oh I I like how it all started as far as Hawkes liking Endeavor it all started with his mom buying the Endeavor plushie but that's only because the All Might plushie was too expensive. So you know this is fine. This will be alright you'll you need good with this right Bidoria ends up leaving Yiway to prevent classmates from being attacked by Shigaraki which starts his vigilant the arts uh quote unquote dark hero art Midoria has his rematch with Muscular and he uses Moespring for the first time in this match and bro unlike the last match he he made light work out of Muscular like Muscular like hey it's that kid from the camp like oh he's gonna be like last time and Vidoria was like yeah you're right it's not gonna be like last time then we have uh a good fight Vidoria versus Lady Magun where Deku uses Fajin for the first time and man listen listen listen listen I fucking love this fight because he was kind of going crazy with the quirks to a point where my one of my favorite scenes was when he was going to kick Lady Magun and she kind of sidestep out of the way but the fact that he saw all those after images I'm like bro like they going fucking crazy with the animation especially with Deckup where like D just pulling on bullshit where I thought where where'd you learn this from where are you coming from with this like in all the movies I'm like you doing some shit where I'm like bro you moving differently like where are you coming from with these techniques the footwork the improvised attacks and shit like where are you coming from with this shit and um the more elusive awful one is being the more impatient Midoria grows ignoring his health and his friends' concern in pursuit of the similar fear eventually his classmates locate him before it was too late which led to what I thought was being really hype Midorian versus class 1A like on one hand it makes sense that he didn't want to hurt him but damn I kind of wish it would have gone crazy in that where like he actually fought them instead of just trying to run away but uh can you imagine him giving his whole class the fade like Lamillion did in uh fucking season four well no no it was season three like late season three like the last one or two episodes of season three where Lilia gave class one eight the fade and it would have been crazy if Midoria gave them the fade too with all those quirks but uh eventually they taught nojusu Midoriya into coming back to UE and a whole bunch of people didn't like the idea of him coming back to UA because he's the main target but Uraraka convinced them to let UA be his My Hero academia where it's like hey total drop and then same meets all might at their last one or two episodes that's pretty much season six.

SPEAKER_03: 2:39:18

Starting with Hero the Tongue tell me your thoughts on season six okay so I'm just kind of jumping around here but um I think the first talk about Davy um especially talking about like the earlier seasons when he was revealed I had the same feeling too with his blue flames in his eyes definitely had a feeling that he was uh you know at least related to endeavor had something to do with him. Um of course it wasn't a sure shot just because he maybe had the same fire corp or something like that, but until it was officially confirmed and I had a thought in the back of my mind that I was like yeah if he has something to do with Endeavor and he definitely does He was pretty much a bomb, like waiting to explode at some point later down the line, and it's gonna hurt a lot. And it it really did too. It done a lot of damage.

SPEAKER_04: 2:40:09

Um That was the crazy part where like his expose was like a cherry on top of the concerns and uh disillusionment that the civilians had on the heroes, anyways, because it's bad enough between all my retiring, all the collateral damage and whatnot. They were already kind of getting tired of heroes, and then on top of that, they find out that their number their new number one was an abusive asshole. So it's like, damn, we people really not fucking with heroes now.

SPEAKER_03: 2:40:42

Yeah, it's kind of like the uh, I don't know if this saying fits here a little bit, but it's almost like that saying with, you know, never meet your heroes in a way, because it's like it's like almost the equivalent of meeting some celebrity or something like that. And you know, un understandably not everybody's perfect, but then it's like when you meet somebody or you know, get in contact with somebody you looked up to or they're so highly praised, and then you find out there's a really dark history behind them, and after that you just look at them in a totally different light, and it it's like wow, okay, you regret sitting there and interacting with them in the first place. I don't how do they look up to this person? It's like basically like that with Endeavor, I bet ever since that whole fiasco went down.

SPEAKER_04: 2:41:30

Bro, I'm glad you said that because I'm gonna be honest with y'all. I can't say I really look up to anybody. I mean, I would say my parents, like, I respect them, but like I don't really idolize anybody, and I'm not excited or jumping at any opportunity to meet with any celebrity. Like, I can't like a celebrity, but I'm not really all that interested in meeting them. In fact, I want to say the last, the only time I was like, you know, it would be really cool if I meet this person, it was Jason David Prank, but I can't do that anymore because he passed away. That was that would have been like the only time where like it would be really cool if I get to meet this.

SPEAKER_01: 2:42:09

You know how dope it is to meet him?

SPEAKER_04: 2:42:12

Bruh, I it would have been great, it would have been beautiful, but yeah, but still, my boy is an icon, three different disciplines. Hell yeah, like bro, like he he was really about it. Like, he wasn't he didn't just have hands and fucking power and he had hands for real. Like he was actually doing that shit on with martial arts.

SPEAKER_01: 2:42:35

I've been like, bro, you remember when you beat all them out their megazords?

SPEAKER_04: 2:42:39

Yeah, no, like just GTA style, like just jank him out the megazor, like, hey, I want this smoke up close and personal.

SPEAKER_03: 2:42:51

Yeah, but uh yeah, so with that whole fiasco, that was definitely interesting, and it also comes with the saying again of you know, I'm pretty sure Davy, I think he did say this, but you know, you read what you sow to endeavor, and yeah, he he quite literally did. It he did have it coming, honestly. It like oof.

SPEAKER_04: 2:43:12

Yeah, see, that's that's the main thing why I don't like autolize people because I kind of see the humanity in everybody at this point to where I'm like, even if you seem like a good person or whatnot, it's not like I'm suspecting you of being a bad person, it's more like I'm just not gonna believe you're a perfect person. It's more like uh even though I respect your work, that doesn't mean that we're gonna hit it all very well. As it ain't like I'm I wanna be your friend or anything, but like, you know. Yeah, I agree. And um some some post some folks are just really good at their job, and you admire that, but that doesn't mean that uh they might be a good person. Like uh you could hear shit that they did behind the scenes, and hell, a lot of times um we don't realize how bad it is until it's all way too late, where like you see some celebrities, like okay, Bill Cosby. Yeah, say more. Yeah, yeah, that's you. Yeah. It's like goddamn shame to where I'm like, dang, I would really fucking with that dude. And then I hear what he did, and I'm like, oh, oh, dang him. I don't know if I can fuck with you like that. I don't know if I can fuck with you with you like that anymore, but uh yeah. Uh hero, what's the hell you got on season six?

SPEAKER_03: 2:44:38

Uh let's say the one more thing I would touch on moving on to the dark hero arc is um he has two interesting things, or maybe three. Uh, you know, with Deku overall against Lady uh Nategant and uh fighting its, you know, Musker, I gotta say that it was also really interesting, despite where his mindset was at the time, you know, the vigilante arc or arch hero arc, it was really interesting to see how his use and how he would improvise with multiple quirks at once. And it it really, it really did play well into how strategic like Deku really is and how terrifying it is sometimes because like he was already, you know, still a bit of a threat when he didn't have those multiple quirks. Like, you know, even with his shoot style and all that, he was already alone just dangerous and considering his tactics. But when you give him multiple quirks and he can work with that, and I'm pretty sure he even surprised his uh predecessors too at that point where they were like, wow, he's it's amazing how he's utilizing each and every quirk in a way. And obviously, I like the way he utilized that against Lady Nugget, Muscular. And like it was another moment too. Um oh yeah, I will say, at least with Black Whip, uh, I definitely I'd probably say it's my most favorite next to well, there's an there's another one we haven't talked about yet, but Black Whip is definitely a favorite because obviously Spider-Man slash venom vibes from that.

SPEAKER_04: 2:46:10

But no, it was crazy how like he had the powers like Spider-Man, but in this vigilante art he was going down, he was moving like Batman, you know, like that obsessive discipline, like lack of sleep, lack of eating and whatnot. He was like, he was so he had tunnel vision when it came to taking down Shigaraki, all for one the league of villains. He he was like, hey, I don't got time for all this, like I don't got time to eat, I don't got time to sleep. I need to stop these villains now because like while we just laughing and playing around with each other like um nothing's happening, these villains are accumulating power and we need to put them in check before it gets way out of our control. So yeah, I need to like even Shigaraki said it himself to where even though uh Midoria came off impatient, at least he had the right idea to come at us now versus waiting to give us time and you know like you don't you don't give Batman prep time. Like, like uh as a villain, I'm like, if I knew exactly where Batman was located, like why would I let him have press time to beat me? So I I I understand. Like I understand that uh he had to do something, but he was kind of being impatient about it to a point where it was bad for his health.

SPEAKER_03: 2:47:31

Yeah, then uh my final thought, capitalizing on because I've saw I've I've seen some of the fandom even argue about this and debate about it. Of you know, what if Deku actually fought the whole class right there? If he was, you know, in his prime, if he was, you know, well nourished and you know, he was healthy right there. And I I will say, like, you know, just at least in my opinion, you know, had he been fully healthy right there in his right mind, I I think he would have basically folded all the class, Todoroki and Baku and Kuri. I think I think he would have.

SPEAKER_01: 2:48:09

He had to have a whole son. This man started a whole lineage to try to catch up to All Might.

SPEAKER_04: 2:48:15

Yeah. And hey, All Might only had those hands, that's it.

SPEAKER_03: 2:48:21

Yeah, right.

SPEAKER_01: 2:48:21

And then Deck who got all these quirks.

SPEAKER_03: 2:48:25

Yeah, so he's got like he's got like a combination of hands and tactics, like, and brutally ruthless ones at that. If he goes through with them, he knows everybody uh in and out, pretty much in his class.

SPEAKER_04: 2:48:36

Oh, and that's why uh the worst person in the world anytime. Yeah, because like you said with Lady Nagon, Muscular, all those other people. This dude's still a fanboy, so he takes notes on every fucking person that he knows. To where I'm like, yeah, I know how you um you move, I know how you're funny, so I know how to counter you.

SPEAKER_01: 2:48:59

If Deco was the hero killer, oh my word.

SPEAKER_03: 2:49:02

Bro. Oh my word. Yeah, that's that would be like one of those what if uh type of storylines.

SPEAKER_04: 2:49:10

Imagine someone who's out to kill you and he knows you better than you know yourself. Jesus Christ. I know, I know your sleep schedule, I know where you go to work, I know where you go to school, I know all that shit, bro. I got you so fucking clocked.

SPEAKER_03: 2:49:29

Yeah, pretty much Batman with the powers.

SPEAKER_01: 2:49:32

I'm glad you said Batman, because I was thinking Superman after you know the incident occurred. My boy just ruthless.

SPEAKER_04: 2:49:43

Bro, I would have gave that to uh All Might. Like, he's like if All Might had all those best of his powers, I'm like, bro, like you couldn't tell All Might.

SPEAKER_01: 2:49:52

Bro, what?

SPEAKER_04: 2:49:54

Bro, what I'm still a little confused on All Might and his um his quirk and how he can transform to like small might to big might like I think that's the stockpiling aspect of it to where like oh you stopped pile all that power, but the best you can do with it is like okay, I could be a little bit more muscular, but like but he could already use one for all at 100%, like day one. Yeah, so I'm like that's but then again, keep in mind with each user, with each holder, one for all gets even stronger. So it's like, yeah, definitely didn't have the physique for exactly like um all my dead, but at the same time, it was like the quirk itself, like one for all itself, it was like it was just getting stronger and stronger with each user to a point where even if Deku, like man, if you get to all for one, uh excuse me, one for all 100%, full count, all that other shit, is like it's just gonna turn out different because it's probably stronger than when All Might had it. So just imagine that like you going up against someone uh that could have been potentially stronger than All Might.

SPEAKER_03: 2:51:13

Mm-hmm. Yeah, and uh I know the blast out here, but I guess to um I know what you guys were saying about why does All Might have to buff up or something like that, and you know why he has that small form. I think this is this is just my theory or just kind of a guess here. But I think he has that small form because of uh way back in season one when him and Deku uh encountered each other for the first time. Um they were on the rooftop of that building, and when he shifted to that small form, um Deku asked him why he looked like that, and he said it was because of some kind of battle that he suffered some kind of injury, I forgot where exactly, but it took that big of a toll on him. And that's I think that's my guess on why he has a form like that, that small form, because it did that much damage to him, but I I could be wrong.

SPEAKER_04: 2:51:58

Okay, hold on, hold on. You're on to something. You're on something. Because first of all, like it was that event that happened six years ago against all one, right? Yeah, I have a theory because the way Vigilantes uh is going to where we're about to get season two in 2026. Uh I think what's gonna happen since the events of Vigilantes happened, what, six, seven years before my hero? And what happened during that time? That fight? Yep. So what I'm saying is we're gonna see that fight. We're gonna see that fight in vigilantes. Uh but yeah, like as far as uh expansion thing, I'm like, I go ahead.

SPEAKER_01: 2:52:47

But um, you know, if I remember correctly, from the manga, they they was like uh Toshi Nori was All Might's assistant. So so they will see him in a small form, but thank you All Might assistant. I can't remember what time frame that was.

SPEAKER_04: 2:53:07

That is a good question. That gotta be like somewhere between season one and three, because by the time season three rolls, then we all the whole world knows what uh all might really look like. I I'll look back into it.

SPEAKER_01: 2:53:22

But uh no, no, I think that was in the manga though. So you don't know they speed past uh in the anime.

SPEAKER_04: 2:53:27

Okay, yeah, yeah, they they did do that. Um was that anything that's all y'all got on season six? Uh Zebi, uh I know you haven't said anything yet. Uh, you got anything you want to say on season six?

SPEAKER_00: 2:53:42

So I'm gonna talk more on the fan service side. My man that he cut off his leg. I don't know what happened, but that made him even better. I'm just saying, my man cut off his leg and it made him better. Um anyway, everybody knew that. I'm sorry, from the moment we met Dobby, everybody knew it was Toya. Like the moment we found out that oh yeah, Toya is this Toy is that wait a minute, that's Dobby. Like, that was all over AO3 before they even had any common sense. Everybody knew that. And when it eventually came out, I had a feeling like they were like, We're just gonna give it to the we're just gonna give it to them. Because at this point, it was like, Yeah, that's fine, whatever. We knew.

SPEAKER_04: 2:54:40

Yeah, I'm like, yeah, I kind of figured at the very least, if not his brother, Dobby was gonna end up being like Totorooky's right-wing, some like his nemesis to some degree, for like, ain't no way you're gonna have like another flame quirk villain. Um, well, not another another flame user coming around, and this time he's on the villain slide, and he's not gonna fight Todoroki. That would have been like crazy. That that would be like uh fucking Magneto never fighting Storm in any of the X-Men movies, even though that would have been hyper shit.

SPEAKER_00: 2:55:24

Uh and then that last episode where you know when All Might arrives at the final battle at Camino, and then he stained even shows up and is like, you're not the real All Might. Pause, wait a minute, and All Might's like Yeah, I am. I mean, I mean Okay to me that was hilarious. I mean, it was a real like moment, like show, like in the part, but at the same time, Stan is like, Yeah, you're not the real All Might, but it wasn't the power that made him, but the ability to inspire, and that was like boom.

SPEAKER_04: 2:56:12

I think it was kind of crazy how like in a way he he was in denial that that was all might, but at the same time, by the time he finished talking to All Might uh fucked off, it's almost like he knew the whole time that's more it was hard to believe that's all in other words, it's almost like saying it wasn't that he was in denial that that was all might, but more like, oh, you can't be all might because the all might I know would be out on the field. Exactly. Exactly. You just being a little bitch right now. I don't know who you is.

SPEAKER_00: 2:56:44

Suck it up, buttercup. Get your shit on. Let's go. Come on. You you ain't my hero.

SPEAKER_04: 2:56:50

Hey, once you start acting right in, get your head up your ass, come kill me.

SPEAKER_00: 2:56:56

Exactly.

SPEAKER_04: 2:56:58

Come kill the man that killed 40 heroes. And hospitalized more than that.

SPEAKER_00: 2:57:07

Exactly.

SPEAKER_04: 2:57:11

Okay, cool. Uh anybody else called hero?

SPEAKER_01: 2:57:15

Yeah, I got just a few things. Um Dobby's broadcast. It was one of the last attacks on the public trust in heroes. It actually led to the demise of Hero Society. It was already on just splints and needles, all right? And then as soon as that hit, boom, society collapsed. You'll see it even throughout the second half when heroes quitting, civilians taking up arms, all of that spurred from that last push that they had to change society, all from Dobby's Dance. Um the voice actor in English and in Japanese, man, they did a fantastic job on this scene. Like the tone, it just was dope all around. I watched it in Japanese first, then I watched it again in English. I was like, man, I don't know which one I like better.

SPEAKER_04: 2:58:16

Bro, I love how while Dobby was revealing himself to Endeavor, he did the whole, like he already uploaded the expose at the same time he was playing Endeavor, and then Endeavor then was like, hey man, nobody's gonna believe this whack job. And meanwhile, at this um part B of the scene to where it's like, yeah, here's the uh DNA test and everything proving that I am Endeavor's son, so uh he can't refute the fact that I'm not his son. But yeah, no, no, he he really fucking caught Endeavor over like damn, he got you dog.

SPEAKER_01: 2:58:53

He got you, yeah. Um, I really like Dark Deku or Deku Black, you know what I mean? He don't I like Deku Black, that's a good name, yeah. But you highlight that this man is a 16-year-old, and he got the weight of the world, and he's carrying it alone because he's the only one that can use those quirks, and he don't want his friends to die. Like the amount of mental fortitude it takes to leave, knowing knowing that it's for the betterment of your friends, bro, it just shows the kind of hero Deku is.

SPEAKER_04: 2:59:25

Hold on, uh before I forget, uh, here I'm glad that you mentioned Black Whip and whatnot. I'm I'm glad y'all mentioned him Black Whip because remember, the fourth user who was it the fourth user or the fifth that had Black Whip. Uh I'm I'm kind of getting mixed up. But uh point being is that uh the original user of Black Whip even said, I'm pretty sure it was the fifth, or maybe sixth. But uh no, no, sixth was smoking. Uh he said, hey yo, like I'm I'm the original boy with Black Whip, and that's strong enough. Than what I did. I'm like, whoa, hold on. Black Whip, he, the way he's using Black Whip is stronger than yours. I'm like, yeah, that's what all One for All does. It's like it takes a quirk and strengthens it. So that's why it's like with Deku, it's like it's bad enough that he was injuring himself using one for all and whatnot. But keep in mind that one for all gets stronger with each user. So All Might might have had a better time using it. But with Deku, it's like he gotta handle the weight of All Might using it, Nanashimura using it, and all those other users.

SPEAKER_02: 3:00:39

That's true.

SPEAKER_01: 3:00:41

Yeah. But uh, was that all y'all got on season six? I thought that the bath scene was dope. Um, I know Deku was stank after being out there for so long.

SPEAKER_04: 3:00:54

Bruh, I straight up thought, what if that ward just turned brown? Oh no.

SPEAKER_01: 3:01:00

My boy was stank as hell. And then there's the more gray area. All right. Um, the two things, Lady Nagant, she represented like the dark side of the Hero Public Safety Commission and uh Assassins Day Hired to keep the peace. Similarly to uh like the third Hokage um in Konaha, you got a secret society that's taking care of the dark stuff that you shouldn't have to worry about, even though he was a fake Hokage or whatever.

SPEAKER_04: 3:01:28

But I don't agree. I'm like, he was a substitute. I don't even like look the way I see it, if your face is not on that mountain, on that um mountainside, you weren't you weren't a hokage for real. I don't ain't knowing you. Yeah, that is true.

SPEAKER_01: 3:01:47

Um, and then the moral the the morality between Hawks and Twice, right? Twice was a villain, but I mean, that's my guy, bro.

SPEAKER_04: 3:01:58

Yeah, like he it was like he he reminded me of um buddy, bro. Like I know he's based off uh Street Fire thing, like Zongi. I think that was his name. Uh Zongi from Wrecket Rap, where it's like you may be bad guys, but that doesn't mean you're a bad guy. You know what I'm saying? Where it's like, yeah, you're a villain, but you're not that bad of a person. Same thing with Toga, to where it's like she may be a villain, but when you really get to know her, she's not even that bad of a person. She's just circumstances. It was really circumstances. I think it's the same thing with Twice, where it's like both of these two, that's why, see, that's why it makes sense for them to be friends, because both of them are just lost souls trying to find a place to belong. They find each other as like, okay, let's be friends, let's be like a family of villains. And you know that tour toga up when Twice died.

SPEAKER_01: 3:02:52

So yeah, that's true. And then I gotta highlight the character growth for Bakugo again, bro. Because at this point, it's so significant. Bakugo literally bows and apologizes and uses Deku's name, bro. He said Izuku. I'm like, bruh, when you started calling him that.

SPEAKER_04: 3:03:17

Yeah, that's like name bases. I don't call you, I'll call you Inko.

SPEAKER_01: 3:03:23

Yeah, his name Kakarot, bruh. Call him Kakarot.

SPEAKER_03: 3:03:27

That sounds weird to me. Vegeta called him Goku. It's like, wait, what?

SPEAKER_01: 3:03:31

Yeah, jump crazy, bro. But it it just it just shows you like the growth it is. Like, um, I know I mentioned it in the last part, but when you look in that avatar the last airbender and you see the growth and comparison when you contrast these two, these it just shows the the the depth of character development. And then um, a last thing I really want to talk about is one of my baby mamas, Mirko.

SPEAKER_04: 3:04:00

Uh now I I don't blame you. I don't blame you on that one. I will fold. I will fold.

SPEAKER_01: 3:04:08

Yeah, you feel me? I said a hip, a hop, a hippie to the hip, hip hop, my boy. Oh, we're gonna be fucking like rabbits, all right.

SPEAKER_00: 3:04:19

Sound bad just to me with my fucking husband.

SPEAKER_04: 3:04:22

Okay, let me put on my rabbit ears real quick.

SPEAKER_00: 3:04:25

You know, you know, he don't have to do the work, I'll do it for him. I'm just saying.

SPEAKER_01: 3:04:29

She told up on high ends, bro. She told and she's gonna do it with one leg. Both of them, both of them did, you know.

SPEAKER_04: 3:04:40

It's crazy, ain't it? Oh, you have a pair of weeds now? I'll work with you, baby. Don't worry about it.

SPEAKER_01: 3:04:44

Well, they opposite legs.

SPEAKER_04: 3:04:44

I got no, it was both of them. She ended up losing both of them.

SPEAKER_01: 3:04:50

Oh, both of them, yeah. Oh, that's even easier, you know.

SPEAKER_00: 3:04:56

Is I lost his leg again, he don't have to do no work, and uh, yeah.

SPEAKER_04: 3:05:01

Don't worry, I'll take care of you, baby.

SPEAKER_01: 3:05:03

I don't worry about that. Don't we try to take my baby motherfucker?

SPEAKER_04: 3:05:05

Well, you missing a leg. I don't, I didn't even notice that.

SPEAKER_02: 3:05:09

Oh my god.

SPEAKER_04: 3:05:11

Oh yeah. So no, I'm like, I was too busy looking at other things.

SPEAKER_01: 3:05:18

But yeah, that's all I had on season six.

SPEAKER_04: 3:05:21

All right, but uh all right, we'll just try to speed up because it's almost getting close to that time. So season seven, stars and stripes in the trader of UA. Star and Stripe, the All Might's former protege, stands on top of a subjet on her way to Japan from the U.S., the strongest woman alive. Her quirk new order allows her to give something new rules after touching it and calling out its name. Then there's Star and Stripe versus Shigaraki. Star lost and died, but succeeded in ensuring that Shigaraki and all for one can't use New Order and destroyed multiple quirks of Shigaraki's in the process. So she didn't lose for nothing. The athlete that was like a pre-war dub for the heroes, like so. Shout out to Star and Strike, like Kathleen, you went out like a G. Hagature, invisible girl, finds out that Aoyama, you know, guy with uh naval laser has been forced by his parents and all for one to betray Yue the whole time he was enrolled. Aoyama was originally quirkless, but all for one gave him quirks so that he could be like everyone else. In exchange, you know, I'm gonna need you to like snitch on your friends for me. Uh Hagagure finally reveals herself when defending Midoria from Aoyama's laser. Dobby gives Toga the preserved blood of twice, allowing her to activate twice his quirk and his ultimate ability, uh, technique, uh move, whatever you want to call it, Satman's parade. Aoyama tells Midoria that All For War doesn't want to take one for all. I mean, he doesn't just want to take one for all, but he the all for one wants to plunge the world into chaos and poverty to a point where he can show up and pose as this dark savior and rule the planet. Which by the way, I didn't mention this in part one because I was gonna wait until now. But that one episode where Aoyama was like telling me, Doria, I know if like with the cheese squares or whatever that was, like, uh, letting him know, hey yo, I know your secret, but hey, don't worry, I'm cool, I'm cool. But uh that was just Aoyama's way of crying for help because he just he was just feeling so guilty about being this mole that all he wanted was a quirk. Like he didn't know he had uh pretty much the all for one's little snitch. Like he didn't know that he was a he was essentially gonna be the Randall to all for one's uh Miss Spencer, you know, you know uh Monoma uses Kurogiri quirk to warp to the heroes, to Midori and Alyama before all for one was able to do anything, while Shinzo used his improved quirk to trick all for one using the Alyama family initiated the Divide and Conquer plan, splitting up all for one and from Shigaraki and the rest of the front and the jailbreakers. By the way, like I said, kind of alluded to in part one, I kind of like how Monoma, even though he came off as a hater of Class 1A at birth, like I like how he's getting some shine, like actually contributing to the war. We got Hasume and the support course helping prepare UA to be Shigaraki's cop in the sky. And it's crazy how Hasume was just holed up in the uh lab the whole time, like and Midori and them thought, oh shit, you don't know what's going on. Like, no, no, no, I know. But I'm just staying in the lab and staying in my lane doing what I need to do to help you all out. So I like that. I like how Hasume, like, it kind of makes you feel like, oh yeah, Hasume and Midori's gonna hook up and Udaraka just gonna feel some type of way every time. Um, the two of them are near each other. It's like, man, she ain't all that. Her titties ain't that big. I mean, I got big titties too, you know.

SPEAKER_01: 3:09:33

Uh scandalous.

SPEAKER_04: 3:09:38

Anyways, Bakugo and Mirako versus Shigaraki, and this is where uh Mirako loses another arm, I guess. Or it was like that was when she lost her other leg, I believe. Yeah, yeah, yeah. That was it when it lost other leg. My bad, I wrote that wrong in the notes. Uh we got Midoria, Udaraka, and Aswi, versus Toga. Uh, this is where Toga confessed to Deku and almost snitched on Udaraka for having a crutch on Deku as well, but luckily Midoria didn't hear that second part. We get Todoroki versus Dobby. We get more backstory on how Toya became Dobby, how he was a backup vessel for All for One, how his resentment for Endeavor kept him alive for all those years, and how he planned for death. We have Endeavor and Hawks versus All For One, which you know, shit happens. Uh UA's big three arrived to fight against Shigaraki by using his strongest technique. Bakugo starts to understand his quirk a lot more, but Shigaraki hits him so hard that his heart stopped. Which, by the way, like is but bro, the anime girlies was prepared to drop my hero at the thought of Bakugo dying. Like, I I was there when I was reading the manga and I saw that panel where Bakugo just laying there lifeless with that all-mite uh trading card right beside him, and a bunch of girls, including one of my friends, straight up said, Hey yo, if Bakugo dies, I'm dropping this whole series. They treated it like fucking Daryl Dixon. If he died in uh The Walking Dead, I'm quitting the whole fucking fucking um series. I'm like, I'm I'm like, bro, he was that fucking serious.

SPEAKER_05: 3:11:34

I'm like, damn, like really, I love Bakugo that much. Okay.

SPEAKER_04: 3:11:40

But uh Ed Shot uh helps him out by reviving Bakugo doing um CPR or whatnot. Like I thought Edge gave his life to say Bakugo, but no, that's not the case. Like you see him at the end where he's hanging out with Bakugo and fuck uh best genius. Yeah. Uh all for one returns to his prime, you know, looking uh young using Aries rewind, which by the way, he was able to do that because he used to vial her blood that was preserved, I think, by overhaul. But either way, the villains was able to get their hands on her blood, so it was on what like a one-shot thing, like he can use it, but he can only use it once. Uh Lamillion distracts Shigaraki long enough for Deku to arrive. They're like, How about these peaches? No, that was actually like the funniest part about this whole war was him showing his ass to Shigaraki to try to distract him the way he made Night Eye laugh with that joke. But uh, it was effective enough for Deku to come crashing in to um fight him. Speaking of which, Deku uses Gear Shift, the second's quirk, and this is the last quirk to be revealed from One for All's Arsenal. And he was like, Oh, well, you can't use Gear Shift that much because you know it's like a situational thing where um increase the speed of whatever you touch, and in case some case you uh we get prejudice against heteromorphic metahumans, we get Shoji, aka tentacle, and Coda, the uh animal guy versus Spinner. The name for the League of Villains is inspired by League of Legacy. Okay, so hero, you were here for part one, said this new to you. But I had a Freud and Swip where I almost said League of Legends while trying to uh talk about the League of Villains, which now I can say, which is funny because the League of Villains name was inspired by the game. Yep.

SPEAKER_05: 3:13:54

I was like, man, what the fuck? Really?

SPEAKER_04: 3:13:59

All right, all right. Uh Gentle Criminal, La Brava, and Lady Gun and Siketsu High shows up to help the heroes. All for one steals Hawk's quirk. Dobby was ultimately defeated by the Todoroki family and was incarcerated. Like, I thought he died, but turns out, like, when you get to the last episode, well, second to last episode, if you're counting the more OVA that's coming on the mech. Uh, I thought he died, but turns out, oh no, he's still alive. He just he just incarcerated and like hooked up to a machine to where like you can barely see his face. Uh oh yeah. Toga has been ultimately defeated and killed. Well, she wasn't even killed, but she ends up dying after giving a blood transfusion and having a heart-to-heart with Udaraka. Spinner has been defeated and arrested. All Might puts on a power exosuit to fight all for one, courtesy of David and Melissa Shield, which is why I say at the very least, the first movie is technically canon. And also, is he copying class 1A's flow with some of these moves? Because he was using like a move from every member, as long as like you have like Bug Go, uh, well not bugging it, but uh he was using like different techniques that was inspired by his uh students, like such as uh tapeboy, Sarah, and Pinky and Hakadura and all of them. I'm like, damn, what the fuck? But yeah, that was season seven in a nutshell. Let's start with Sebi this time. Uh how you feel about season seven?

SPEAKER_00: 3:15:51

So season seven is the one that I had to go back and re-watch because to be fair and honest, this is one of the last series before, like one of the last series I watched starting with this. Um I thought this season was really deep in retrospect. We meet Star and Stripe, love her, like yeah, she's one of my favorites uh female heroes. Um just the fact that we a lot of dark things are happening, in my opinion. I mean, you have Toru who spies on Yuga, uh Ayama, fine now. He's the UA trader trader. When before we knew we knew there was a UA trader, when this happened, there were so many things up in the air. Oh, who's the UA trader? A lot of people suspected it was Hagakura.

SPEAKER_04: 3:16:50

Um wow, that is wild. Because it was like it was he was one of the main ones trying to defend Ao Yama.

SPEAKER_00: 3:16:57

You're right, but before that happened on Tumblr, AO3, everybody thought it was Hagakura. Oh, she's invisible, so no one really knows that she because she could be at one place and she could be at the other, you know. She could she was the main, like I don't want to say villain, but she was the main like person that everyone thought about. Yeah, suspect. And when they found out it was Ayama, they're like, Oh, that makes so much sense because things were clicking up. Like, Ayama couldn't use his quirk very well. He kept on getting sick, like he has this type of vibe, he looks at the screen, like it looks at uh he breaks the fourth wall.

SPEAKER_04: 3:17:40

Can I mention this one detail to where you remember when Midori was fighting class 1A and everybody had something to say to him, and he was the only one who didn't say anything, he felt guilty about it. Yeah, that should have been that that should have been uh our hint right there to where I'm like, hold on, Allian didn't say anything about uh Midoriya, and hey, they had that one episode together, so you would think he would have said something.

SPEAKER_00: 3:18:13

Um just we we get to see like you know, like Toga and like her how she was and how it's just a lot of things that happened that really just put a perspective on a lot of especially the villains uh toga and twice. You got to see like why they became like we already knew how they became this way. We saw bits and pieces of it, but I think this just made it even heavier.

SPEAKER_04: 3:18:48

Um it's like they gave us teasers just to keep us interested, but and wait until now to be like, oh, I get the full picture now.

SPEAKER_00: 3:18:58

Yeah, like when we got to see twice, you know, how when he was in a couple of seasons ago, when we were like, Oh, this is how his life is, you know, he gets up in the day, like a get ready with me video twice edition. Um we actually got to like sympathize with them. I think that's why I liked it because we got to sympathize. Monoma with the clutch. I'm just saying I hate this character, I really don't like him, but he showed up, he did what he needed to do. That's I'm just saying. Um yeah, that's pretty much what I have. I mean, yeah, that's like I said, this is one of the ones that I recently watched, so I didn't really have a lot of notes for this one. But again, I love Otaco and I love Toga together. They're my OTP.

SPEAKER_04: 3:19:53

Oh man, like you remember what that part when it was like, oh, what if the um roles were reversed and uh toga was. Was in this nurse outfit um fighting Udaraka, where Udaraka didn't even look all that different. The only difference was she was like wearing a cape and she had uh dark lines under her eyes. Um that was just about it. Like her outfit was just pretty much the same anyway. Uh I you think that oh uh well, because keep in mind it's like black and pink, so it's almost like what you're gonna make it pink and black?

SPEAKER_06: 3:20:27

Yeah, yeah.

SPEAKER_04: 3:20:30

But uh hero, how are you feeling about the season seven?

SPEAKER_03: 3:20:35

Uh it was definitely I'd say it was also pretty deep, and it was a lot of impact in many of the fights and the conflicts. Uh, I guess you can say speaking on in particular Star and Stripe, even though, even though it was a shame that when we first saw her arrival and she was pretty much off party, she definitely left the impact still, despite you know being off. Like it still had significance. And without it, it it things probably would have gone differently. So uh she she was a very very cool character though, and it was cool to know a little bit about her. And I could pretty much say I was also a bit surprised about the UH trader, but then again, it's like sometimes sometimes it's like you gotta expect the characters that are ironically unlikely to be suspected. But when you saw the way he was moving, it was like, okay, it this makes a lot of sense now. Hey, you know what?

SPEAKER_04: 3:21:32

This reminds me of when I reviewed Wednesday, where I tried to tell a couple guys who and Cali High Kaisan, hey yo, listen, you gotta watch the one person that been quiet a little too long. Like, see, it's it's never see, it's kind of like um if y'all watched a pup named Scooby-Doo and there was this character named Red Herring that Brett always blamed for everything, but that's the point. Like, red herring, not person, but the literary term, a red herring is some something to distract the person reading the mystery uh from guessing it too soon or too obviously, to where it's like, yeah, you have this one person who could be it, but the obvious culprit can't be the real culprit. Because if it was too obvious and it actually turned out to be the culprit, then that's not much of a mystery, that's not much of a surprise. So it had to be someone that came out of nowhere, like almost like someone that you wouldn't even expect to be a traitor to UA. There goes Ao Yama. Where like this guy was so about being fabulous and whatnot, you wouldn't expect him to be a traitor.

SPEAKER_03: 3:22:43

Yep, no, and that's definitely what threw me to the loop for a second. Uh just moving on to the Todoroki versus uh Dabby fight. That was that fight definitely had a lot of impact on it, and it was a type of fight that really I don't know if you say closed the chapter on their you know, a family conflict, but it still got a little bit deeper to where it was just like it was just absolutely insane, especially at the end of it. And yeah, even getting to the like conclusion of it, it's like they're still definitely picking up the pieces and still trying to mend it together.

SPEAKER_04: 3:23:20

Bruh, like crazy enough, that final that fight between Shoto and Dobby, because I gotta keep in mind that they're all toterokies at this point, like you know, like uh it's the whole total rookie family. So, like, I like how to defeat Dobby, essentially, Shoto was assisted by Endeavor and his family to a point where it felt like the family Kamehameha Meha in uh the cell saga of Dragon Ball. Or I couldn't say the second, or maybe the third, no, no, it was the second, uh, the second Broly movie where it was Gohan uh firing off his Kamehameha Meha, and then it was Goten, Goku, and all those like that, all like being behind them and whatnot. It felt like that kind of body where it's seen as like y'all all bend together to defeat this villain, but what makes it sadder is that it was one of your own.

SPEAKER_03: 3:24:23

Mm-hmm. And just uh just to lastly uh to kind of go quick here, but the All Might vs All for One, and I really like the support gear that uh All Might had and even the smile that he he had going with it. But I'm just saying too, when it comes like sometimes the support gear and whatnot, like them, they they really go underappreciate it sometimes because it's like with all without all that tech and support gear that they offer and they make, it's like man, they wouldn't be characters or practically almost all of them who wouldn't probably have the ability to control some of their quirks or you know, capitalize on the weakness of their quirks. You know, it's like I I don't know. I just like seeing that aspect of just where the support gear is going and also how it improves in the future, too.

SPEAKER_04: 3:25:14

But I feel like talk your opinion on season seven.

SPEAKER_01: 3:25:27

I'm glad you asked. I have I know we wanted we're talking about season seven, but I wanted to remark on season six one more time. I wanted to clear something that I forgot. Stane delivered the coldest line I ever heard when he was talking to All Might. I wrote it down so I can make sure I said if a person has the soul of a hero, they exist only to help other people. But if a god is reduced to a mortal shell, one who can fall in the rain, what then? I was like, yo, it showed that he was observing what was happening between Deku and the All Might, trying to trying to see if that was the true All Might, bruh. That's something so dope.

SPEAKER_04: 3:26:18

Yeah, because like see, keep in mind that Stane, even though it doesn't seem that way, like basically by how he moving, like Stane pretty much is an extreme fanboy of All Might. So it's pretty it's like his way of saying that it's crazy how my idol has been reduced to this. Like, keep in mind, you're the symbol of peace, and hell, you said it to endeavor yourself to where when you're the symbol of peace, you gotta be the type of person that puts a smile on everybody's face and gives them hope for tomorrow and all that shit. But you just wiggling your thumb, you're dicking your hand and whatnot, you're like you're not doing anything like um if you're not all might anymore, as far as I'm concerned.

SPEAKER_01: 3:27:12

That's a fact. But good thing that All Might is indeed All Might, you know?

SPEAKER_06: 3:27:17

Yeah.

SPEAKER_01: 3:27:18

So just a few things on season seven I want to hit on. Um, I know we talked about Star and Stripe already, but I just wanted to show that Star Stripe being a fangirl of All Might, calling it All Might Master, it adds a beautiful layer to All Might's legacy. It shows that All Might isn't just popular in Japan, he's popular not just in America, but all around the world. And he even said it himself. There's people crying out right now that want me to help them, and I won't be able to save them.

SPEAKER_04: 3:27:52

And that's why we have heroes in other countries.

SPEAKER_01: 3:27:55

You know what I mean? Alyama. Um I like the way that class 1A reacted. I would like to think that if that happened to me, I would choose the same way that they chose to hold his hand instead of arresting him.

unknown: 3:28:09

Right.

SPEAKER_01: 3:28:10

It shows heroism, bro. It it shows true heroism. And if you look, even from since the hit the hero killer art, they shown true heroism. And they learned that through their class rep because he didn't. All he wanted to focus on was revenge, and he's he's learned that um through you know, through tragedy, through experience, you can learn that kind of things. And then um, I want to talk about the the end of the total rookie tragedy. The conversation between Shodo Dobby and Endeavor is the highlight of the season. Um it led to Endeavor's atonement and his final stand against off one. It it shows that he's truly redeemed or that he's on the path of redemption and that he's willing to die to stop the monster that he helped create. And then toga versus Uraraka. Oh my god, my baby mama versus my other baby mama. I do not like that fight, but with Uraka got her quirk awakening, so zero gravity expanded to everything that she touched, and it became a battle of words. So talk no jutsu again throughout the whole thing, and it led to the sacrifice. I appreciate Toga for giving her blood to save Uraraka because if I had to choose between the two, I would probably choose Toga, but I would be sad that Uraraka has something that happened to her, so I will let Toga sacrifice herself for Uraraka. I like that. That was the best possible scenario, and it led to the final scene of the Iron Mike, the Iron Mike, bro. I was so excited when I seen that shit. I said, Oh my god, I didn't even bro, that is the exact scene that I left off on in the anime. I mean, in the um in the manga, and I watched it in the anime. I said, bro, I didn't read no more manga after that. Literally, I read no more. I said, you know what? I'ma wait. I'ma wait.

SPEAKER_04: 3:30:20

You know what? I can't wait to talk about season A now, but uh go ahead.

SPEAKER_01: 3:30:25

But yeah, that's all that's all I had, bro. I I'm I promise you, I I decided to wait from there, and I read that so long ago, so long ago. When I watched the season, I didn't know what was gonna happen. Matter of fact, I watched the season and dub. No, I watched the whole to stretch it out because I didn't want to, I was crying every episode.

SPEAKER_04: 3:30:47

I watched the whole thing dub except the very last episode, but that's only because ironically, by the time I was finished, that's when it came out. I'm like, well, I already watched it now, so yeah.

SPEAKER_01: 3:31:01

But yeah, that's all I had.

SPEAKER_04: 3:31:03

Yeah, it's got you.

SPEAKER_01: 3:31:07

Yeah.

SPEAKER_05: 3:31:08

Uh Sebbie, did I already ask you how you feel about season seven?

SPEAKER_00: 3:31:14

Yeah, you got movie.

SPEAKER_04: 3:31:16

Okay, gotcha, got okay. I just want to make sure because I know we been kind of all over the place, but yeah, you're right, Tuck. We got a movie to talk about. The final movie, at least for now, because who knows? Because the way I see my hero academia is going on a generational run. So I dare say that they're gonna try to keep having like they're gonna keep trying to keep the MHA name alive somehow. Because we already got vigilantes and they're already trying to give us an OVA like six months later. But I feel like what they're gonna do is we're gonna get more spin-offs. Kind of like what they're doing with The Boys, where they had like a few seasons, they only have five. The fifth one's coming out in 2026, but they're gonna keep coming out with all these spin-offs just to keep the whole franchise and IP alive. So I feel like I wouldn't be surprised if there's another movie coming out. I would not be surprised at all. But uh let's talk about this last one. You're next. Now, okay, first of all, I don't like how the dub says now it's your turn. No, give me what you gave me in the sub when all my point at that fucking camera said no, you're next. Uh oh, whoa, whoa, whoa, what does that mean? Like, is he no? That was a cold ass line from All Might. Like, but they kind of ruined it ever since then. Like, I'm kind of glad the movie called it you're next because I'm like, that's what I prefer. Whole point with the movie was you have this leader of the Golini Mafia family, Baldo, who watched All Might's final battle against All For One and his final declaration of it's your turn, dedicating himself to become the next similar piece. And let me tell you, first of all, this is the real fucking All Might knockoff right here. Like, Deathly tried, but like I'm kind of glad he uh stopped doing that. And if it would have been crazy where it's like, imagine Midoria beats Dark Might, because at that point, like halfway into the movie, everybody's not buying this whole oh, he's uh new all my no, we ain't we we don't acknowledge you, we don't recognize you. Like, okay, fine. If you don't, if you're not gonna acknowledge all my department dark might, I'm still gonna take over the world and say y'all already love me and respect me. I'm like, no, that is not gonna happen. I don't know where he's coming from with that. But uh speaking of overpowered bullshit powers, his quirk, alchemy, lets him convert anything he touches into something else. So he takes those coins and just converts into full power, uh, into um pure power, so that's how he's able to do those punches and whatnot. Uh I thought that was like interesting. In fact, I'm gonna say your next is my favorite movie out of the four by default, because even if all four felt like the same movie, at least with this movie, it's like, okay, I really like this movie. I like what they were trying to do with this movie, uh, especially with uh Yulo, uh, who has this mechanical arm and wears the eye pads to cover his uh robotic eye, and he also looking after Anna, uh who's also like has like this quirch where if uh she touches him or anybody else, uh they gain more power. But when he touched when she touches uh you uh I'm just gonna go by his last name, uh Kadini. Like, yeah, because that's easier for me to say. Uh when he touches Kadini, it uh causes him pain. So basically, uh Darth Mike was using Anna to create more power for himself. And obviously, of course, class 1A and Midoria had to deal with them. But at the last fight, even though the last fight was pretty good, obviously, of course, and you know, Midori gave him the fate. And honestly, I'm gonna say that's like between that and the fight in two heroes with you know all my and Midori versus um Wolfram, I feel like this is like the my favorite fight out of the four movies. But crazy enough, I kind of wish Midori would have said something along the lines of you call yourself an All Might fan, but you doing all this shit, you're a disgrace to the game, bro. See, that's crazy how one fanboy from another, another want to be all might from another. I'm like, that would have been crazy. Wherever I imagine Vidoria saying, like, oh, you're a disgrace to the fanboy game.

SPEAKER_01: 3:36:07

That's a fact. If they would have thought about the law of equivalent exchange, who would have to worry about this?

SPEAKER_04: 3:36:14

Oh yeah. Uh how you feeling about your announcements?

SPEAKER_01: 3:36:20

I hate dark might. I want to make that completely clear.

SPEAKER_04: 3:36:26

Um nothing like All Might, but he wants us to insist that he's the new All Mighty.

SPEAKER_01: 3:36:31

Might makes right is the dumbest thing I ever heard. Yeah, he was kind of being corny about it too. Uh the visuals though, the budget was clearly plus ultra. Okay. I just want you to know whatever that budget was, it was so colorful. The animation was dope. Um, between six, between season six, season seven, um, it highlights Deku, Wakugo, and Shoto. Uh, I thought it was dope. Um, aside from you know, Dark Might. If Dark Might wasn't in it and they had a different villain, I would like it better. But it did, it does highlight the quirk singularity and the history of one for all. Um, so I I think that was good, at least. Um, but that's I mean, that's all. Uh, I just don't like Dark Mike.

SPEAKER_04: 3:37:26

No, I feel that. I I don't like him like bro, like bro, you you you need to get the fuck out of here. You need to get the fuck out of here. Uh I will say, oh, now that I remember, it's crazy how with All Might himself, it's like, you know how people like to paint these variations of Superman to like, oh, what if Superman was a bad guy? What if Superman was black or whatever the case may be? It's like we get, okay, we got All Might, right? And we get All Might if he was a villain, but not Darth Might. I'm talking about during the uh, I think it was like, no, it was the final exam. It was the final exam. Uh back in season three or two, two or three? Yeah, it was two. It was season two. Where, you know, Vidoria and Buffalo were doing the exercise, they ended up going against All Might while everybody else was dealing with other teachers. We get regular All Might. We get All Might. If he cosplayed as a villain, we get All Might as a Girl, Starring Stripe, and now we got an actual person who's trying to be like All Might, but he's a villain. So it's like now we got All Might as a villain. So, yeah, that's that's the main reason why I say All Might kind of reminds me of Superman to a degree to where it's not only that he's this super strong guy that everybody looks up to, but a lot of people like to copy his flow. And he was kind of copying his students' flow with those techniques when he was in his armor, but I'm not gonna complain about that part. I'm just saying. Uh oh yeah, uh, by the way, after all that's said and done, when Anna's quirk began to fade away, uh Gadini decided to take care of her even after the fact. Uh Dark Might ends up being defeated and whatnot. We find out that uh Alba One, who escaped hard, waits patiently for Shigaraki to reawaken and once again like technically as can, but it doesn't really affect the floor of the main series, you know what I'm saying? So yeah.

SPEAKER_05: 3:39:55

Yeah. Hero, you got anything you wanna add on to this movie?

SPEAKER_03: 3:40:00

Uh not too much other than just uh I remember when I did watch the movie uh the English dub version and I don't know why. It just made me think of when I hear Dark Knight talk and obviously St. Voice actor, but he reminds you when when he talks, it's kind of like when you hear Goku Black from Dragon Ball Super. Yeah. His speech completely changes in his tone of voice, where he's he's kind of like that, you know, typical, you know, rich or like the high society rich villain or whatever in the tone the way they talk in the fancy sense. It's like this is what Dark Might reminded me of, too. Like the voice actor, like did the same thing as a Goku voice actor.

SPEAKER_04: 3:40:47

Yeah, it was almost like, I mean, even though it's not exactly voices, but it's almost like imagine that troke to where, oh, uh, imagine him with a goatee or a beard or something, and oh no, he's not but uh yeah, that's those are my thoughts on it.

SPEAKER_03: 3:41:08

Other than that, of course, you know, I mean I don't like Dark Might either, but I I will say his his quirk was interesting, and the way he was using it and utilizing it was interesting, I can uh admit that. Yeah, yeah.

SPEAKER_04: 3:41:22

Sebi, how are you feeling about this movie?

SPEAKER_00: 3:41:24

Your next fuck this man. I'm so sorry. The way that he the okay, the way that he acts and the way that his body just when he goes to caress Anna and it just oh my god, like don't revive Stranger Danger. Pause. Yeah, not happening. I'm sorry. Like, you're not gonna do that. I do want to say, Deborah though, she she's something, she something, yeah. Um, but I don't know, just the fact that Dark Might gives those, yeah, that stranger danger vibe. Like, no, I'm good. Thank you though.

SPEAKER_04: 3:42:17

And bro, by the way, how fucking out of touch have you have to be to where you're trying to be the next symbol of peace. But who would believe that somebody named Dark Might is the symbol of peace?

SPEAKER_00: 3:42:33

It's in the name Dark Hello.

SPEAKER_04: 3:42:35

Yeah, I'm like, that's like Decepticons run around like, hey, we're here to help. And then it took John Cena from the uh Bumblebee movie to be like, hey yo, they're calling those Decepticons. That doesn't raise any red flag to y'all. I'm like, thank you, John Cena, thank you. Because what makes you think I'm gonna believe anything you guys say when you literally call yourself the Decepticons? Why would I believe anything you guys say when you literally call yourself Dark Mike? I'm like, you're automatically suspicious to me.

SPEAKER_00: 3:43:14

And then at the end, when Anna and uh Julio they're together and they hug, just soft feelings inside.

SPEAKER_04: 3:43:23

Yeah, I see this is why I say your next is my favorite, because if even though all the movies just kind of felt like the same movie, at least this one felt like an actual movie where it's like, okay, well, I remember most of what happened in this movie. So I'm like, okay, it's a really good movie. Like, I would definitely rank this on top of all the other. In fact, I think rank all four movies, I would say you're next, then Heroes Rising, then World Heroes mission, then two heroes by the ball. Only because with two heroes, even though that fight scene at the end was great, it it was mainly, oh, we're gonna pretend we're gonna get robbed, and then the realists were like, nah, we're not pretending anymore. This is real now. That's it. Not much to it on that movie other than you know, things switched up, but they took care of me anyways. That's it. Uh but yeah, I guess we can all agree to say fuck the dark mite, right? All right, uh, and was that all you got on the movie, Sebbie? All right, final season, and I'm gonna blade through this one real quick because I have it's ironic because even though both season one and season eight have the shortest amount of episodes, I also have the least amount to say about both those seasons. Where yeah, things happen, but with season eight, I'm like, I'm just gonna make this real quick, real. So, armored all might versus all for one. And bro, oh, you know what? That reminds me. Tup, I am so glad you said what you said when you told me that uh you kind of fell off on Might Hero after season seven, because I still remember like it was yesterday, where it was me, you, and Koki Gasu on a different podcast, and we were pretty much kind of talking about Might Hero. You brought up all my and I was sitting there like, oh, and then you were like really curious about what I knew. Um but I was like, actually, no, no, no. In fact, it was me, you, Koki Gasu, and Talos.

SPEAKER_01: 3:45:46

Yeah, Tello's was talking about how Deku was working at Burger King.

SPEAKER_04: 3:45:51

And no, and I was sitting here like, oh bro, like listen, listen, I'm not trying to spoil it for you. I'm like, I was trying to move on and shit, but you were really insisting, and I'm like, hey, listen, listen, listen.

SPEAKER_01: 3:46:04

Fuck all the robotics and everything for.

SPEAKER_04: 3:46:10

But no, listen, listen. It's just it could be the same thing with Baku. Where it's like, it looked bad, but y'all got him. And I'm like, bro, based on that when it was brand new, when that channel was brand new and it looked like it wasn't looking good for on all my I sat there like I'm sorry, but it don't look good.

SPEAKER_01: 3:46:31

Yeah, y'all was telling me, bro. That's what I told you. I had read that.

SPEAKER_05: 3:46:35

I didn't even want to tell you the mug, bro.

SPEAKER_01: 3:46:37

You didn't want to read the mugger. I stopped right there in the mother, bro. I said, I ain't no way I'm finna watch this.

SPEAKER_04: 3:46:43

Bro, they almost gave them the right treatment. I'm like, no. No, bro.

SPEAKER_01: 3:46:48

That was that would be so fucking trash.

SPEAKER_04: 3:46:51

No, I'm like, bro, it don't look good. The way he was carrying his body, I was like, oh, it don't look good.

SPEAKER_01: 3:46:58

All might was getting dragged, man.

SPEAKER_04: 3:47:00

Yeah.

SPEAKER_01: 3:47:02

Quirkless and everything.

SPEAKER_04: 3:47:06

But hey, you know what? Stain appears to help All Might, but he dies trying to stop All for One. Even had his quirk taken. And I'm like, damn, like that's sad. I'm like sad. But All Might barely hanging by a thread as All For One makes his way to fuse with Shigaraki carrying this man like luggage. And Bogga reawakens just in time to save All Might and help me Doria fight Shigaraki in All For One. Uh speaking of which, we get backstory on the Shigaraki brothers. By the way, yes, uh going back uh back when um we got backstory on Shigaraki, uh uh Tomura Shigaraki. We were learning like, oh well, uh why are you giving me this new name? Well, okay, Tomura is Japanese for Tomaru, which means to mourn. And okay, that explains that. But what's uh Shigaraki mean? And it's just my last name. I was like, you probably get son to me now, so I'm gonna go ahead and give you my last name. And I'm like, oh, so that's your last name. Okay, and I'm like, damn, like, just imagine, like, uh, I don't know if they actually mention his first name. I'm gonna look it up right now as I speak. Zen. Okay, his first name is Zen. Okay, fine. Zen Shigaraki. I'm like, bro, imagine if he never gave away his real name. And I'm like, okay, cool. That means anybody with a death note can take him out. I'm joking, but um we get back to around the Shigaraki brothers. Their mother was a homeless alcoholic that can see the twins alone under a bridge. I don't know how she managed that. I guess she just kind of pushed them out on her own. Uh, presumably dying afterwards. Like, obviously, she died. She wasn't around before the events of all this, so she must have died during childbirth. Uh, awful one has been moving like a villain from jump. He treated his younger brother like a possession, even gave his, even gave his name Yoichi. So I'm guessing he also gave himself his name. And I'm like, you went with Zen for your name? Okay, whatever, you know, whatever. Uh Awful One gave Yoichi the stockpile quirk right before the second one for all holder came to rescue him. Awful one, oh, by the way, uh, his name was Kudo. I remember now. Uh Awful One caught up to them and killed Yoichi. And, you know, it was kind of like uh it was he wasn't even trying to kill Yoichi as more. Like, give me my thing back, like give me my stuff back. Like, not even thinking of him as a person, but I kind of accidentally killed Yoichi. And has been hunting down the successor, the successors of One for All ever since learning that Yoichi can transfer quirks the whole time. And this is the part where I say, honestly, it sounds like all for one is kind of childish trying to reclaim his property, that is his brother and one for all. And then we have Bakugo versus all for one. Like, I know I kind of mentioned that um before, but this time it's like this is the actual fight, where Bakugo damages All for One to a point where the villain's rewind became his undoing. Like literally, it was like Bakugo was doing so good trying to at least attack him to a point where, okay, he gotta keep rewinding his bike to heal. But Bakugo just kept going to a point where all for one just became this crying baby, and then next thing you know, he just out of existence. But that was just his body, his original body. His consciousness is still in Shigaraki. Like, we're gonna find out in the last couple of uh, well not the last couple episodes, but like the last episodes of fights. Shigaraki ends up stealing danger sense and all for one gave Shigaraki his original quirk fat. By the way, yes, all for one is that diabolical that he swapped Shigaraki's quirk as a means to an end. Oh, um, before I forget, because I know I didn't put this down in the notes, all for one is so diabolical that he pretty much planned everything about Shigaraki's life. Even before he even was born, where he met up with uh Tenko's father. Um, I forgot his name, but he was uh Nana's son, and essentially his daughter, uh Shigaraki's sister, she was too old for either that or it was like something to where uh um he couldn't use her, but he convinced Tinko's father to hey yo, you should have another son because you should have another child, you know, and then he pretty much planted the whole time to where, oh, I'm gonna be this friendly old man that's gonna secretly steal his quirk, and then when I meet him again, I'm gonna give him decay, and then that's when that kicked off everything to where, like, literally everything about Shigaraki was fabricated by all for one because he needed somebody to use as a puppet for his plans. He was on some Aizen type shit. That's what that was right, though. Yeah, and then we have Carnage Deku versus Shigaraki, where it's like, you know how he used Blackware to kind of like um wrap around his body and it kind of looked like carnage a little bit, you know. Like, bruh, you don't even look like a hero. Yeah, he's a villain at this point. Like, what the it was crazy. But the vestiges, and we did agreed that the best way to defeat and save Shigaraki at the same time is to force one for all into him, and Deku uses Talk No Jusu to convince Shigaraki to fight all for one's control over him. This caused the consciousness of uh all for one to dissipate and the remnants of all for one to dissipate, but at the same time, this also causes Shigaraki's consciousness to fade, so that kills both of them. Midoria won and saved the world at the cost of becoming quirks again. And after all that, Todoroki, the Todoroki family visits a barely living Gabi. Midoria Utaraka has some feelings to get off the chest. A little boy named Koki with a quirk and trauma similar to Sigaraki is seen out in the public, but an elderly woman held his hand and prevented history from repeating itself. I don't felt the need to um mention that because it's crazy how we were so close to having a sequel to the same bullshit. But they were like, nah, we're not gonna let that happen. We know what happens when we just leave people along to their trauma and their depressions, where they just become villains because we didn't do anything about it. So, get on that. We find out that Mr. Compress, oh, by the way, yeah, yeah, I did mention that he was fucked up. But we find out that he wrote a book in jail. Uh, eight years after the war, we Dorian seen with a job as a UA teacher, All Might, Fox Girl, Hansume, his classmates, his other friends, they all got together to develop a power suit for Destro, allowing him to mimic abilities of one for all and to become a hero again. And in case we never get around to actually talk about the OVA on the record, let me just go ahead and knock this out the way. Basically, it just what was what were they doing during the eight-year gap between the final episode and the war and whatnot? And essentially, Funky Go's pro hero debut was at fifth on the billboard. Totoroki debuted, or either they debuted or they worked towards it, but like I don't know. Uh Totoroki uh debuted or became the second number second hero of Japan. Lamillion is the number one with a million lines say. So you know how he said uh I'm gonna save a million lives one day, and he actually did that. So he did that. I'm I'm happy for it. And then we have our boy Midoria debuting on the billboard at fourth, the one for all hero, the symbol of hope, not peace, the symbol of hope, the greatest hero in the world, and also Midoria and Udaraka as we begin their relationship with each other.

SPEAKER_05: 3:56:21

That's the end of the series, that's my hero academia.

SPEAKER_04: 3:56:25

But before we wrap this whole review up, let's go around the panel. Let's start with Sally because I know you got things to do and you gotta go to sleep. How are you feeling about this final season?

SPEAKER_00: 3:56:37

It's over, it's finally over. It's I have to say, for someone who gets a lot of my favorite enemies, don't get second seasons, and I'm orange high school hosts. Um, anywho, um so for this to actually go on for quite a while, for us to get vigilantes, for us to get movies, like I I loved my hero academia, I love it now. Like I'm just so happy it's over there, to be honest with you. And the ending was sweet because you could becoming a teacher. He's quirkless, unfortunately, but he he teaches students at UA. Like, what better can you get?

SPEAKER_04: 3:57:27

Like, he can actually like uh fuck all that, fuck all that. You're supposed to be alright. We put we need to get you out on the field. I don't care. Like, you know what? You know, hey, hey, everybody, get together. All right, well, what what can we do for Midori? Because I can't stand him just being a teacher at a school because bro, like all this shit, all this shit I did, like I was his I was the Vegeta to his Goku to where I was ready to be his bribal for life, and then he just gives away his quirk just to save the world. I'm like, nah, fuck all that. Get back on this field. Like, we're gonna get you into the suit. Fuck all that. Like, you could be a teacher on the side, you could be a teacher on the side, but I need you out on this field though.

SPEAKER_00: 3:58:10

It and I think that was the best part. Like, Gwakuko's like, yeah, no, you're coming back. Like, I don't give two shits. Like, here's the suit, I don't care. And then when he carefully accepts, I'm like, Yay, and then Shigaraki's ghost. Oh, that was tough. That was so touching. I'm just happy it's over.

SPEAKER_04: 3:58:35

Because once again, Shigaraki is the same thing with Toga, Dobby, and a whole bunch of these villains, where it's like, if things were different, he wouldn't even be a villain. Like, he probably would have been gone to Bro, you know his original quirk, the one where it's like he had those light rings and he was able to bounce around. That was his original quirk. Over one stole that from him. Like, no, let me replace that with the case so I can use you as the perfect pawn for my game. Because you know, I need someone who's traumatized enough to where he'll become a villain and crash on his own, but then I was like, I can use that now.

SPEAKER_00: 3:59:12

Yeah, it was it was a good day when I got to watch that. I mean, it was what December 13th that it came out? Yeah, it it was nice seeing it and going, that was a good ending. How many OVAs are we getting?

SPEAKER_04: 3:59:29

Well, at least one, just one. Um, yeah. Like that's kind of crazy, but then again, I think Vigilante is gonna say Vigilantes. Yeah, like Vigilante is gonna keep going. So it's like it's technically not the end of the My Hero Academia franchise. It's just more like that's the end of the main series. It's like the same thing with the boys, to where once the final season comes out, then the prequel is gonna show up, and then we might get more uh backstory and more perspective on the main series, and who knows. That might end up making a sequel series and whatnot. So who the hell knows?

SPEAKER_00: 4:00:06

Vigilantes can keep coming out because then I get to see more of my husband, and that's all I have to say.

SPEAKER_04: 4:00:13

Oh, by the way, how you feel about Aiza with uh the shorter hair?

SPEAKER_00: 4:00:19

Miss my I saw it looks good in whatever you want to put him in. I'm just saying I prefer his longer hair because I'm the scruffy, tired eye looking man. I like that whole thing, but I think I can rock with the shorter hair.

SPEAKER_04: 4:00:38

Cool, cool, cool. Hero, how are you feeling about the last season?

SPEAKER_03: 4:00:45

I feel pretty good about it overall. And even though I I read the manga pretty much ahead of time and was already done right there, I watched the I would say I pretty much watched the anime too to the end. And I gotta say the two main topics I'll probably touch on real quick, and well, there's three, but I'm I'm gonna touch on the two because definitely definitely very controversial, probably within the fandom. But uh play a little bit of devil's advocate here. Uh the first thing I'll probably say is about the ending, and I can't remember if there's a little bit of a difference in how the manga may be portrayed it versus the anime. I can't remember, but um either way. I I know a lot of the fandom, um, you know, maybe half and half didn't agree with how it ended with, you know, and obviously it connects with the whole McDonald's Burger King memes, and they were funny, but um I think some people genuinely made it seem like that because Deku genuinely became corkless again and whatnot, it made it seem terrible, which you know, people have their opinions, but that that's fine to think. I'm not gonna sit here and act like I'm gonna force him to think differently, but I think because of that though, you know, with Deku standing for obviously being a hero, and you know, that that's the essence of being a hero, and sometimes that's making sacrifices and quite literally giving up his quirks, which is like giving up the powers to save pretty much a lot of people. I think that's what made it a pretty good ending in my book. And I'll even compare it to another anime. I've said I've said it before on another platform, um, but I like to compare the ending from this season and whatnot to Formato Alchemist Brotherhood. And I'm comparing it to that because I mean, think about it. Like being realistic here, how many people like if we actually have powers in real life, but imagine being given the option to obviously save the world, beat this big bad villain, but you have to give up your powers in exchange. And being brutally honest, I don't think a lot of people would do that. Like, you might have some that will do it, but I don't think everybody would, and I think that's what makes it interesting, because like in Brotherhood, you obviously see um you know Edward to get Al's bodies back, he had to give up his uh alchemy, which was a pretty huge thing to do, and that's what made it a good ending as well. And uh that's pretty much like on that first topic, and I think the second one I wanted to touch on was um trying to remember here. Uh not gonna lie, I was gonna talk about the shipping thing too, but I think that's a topic I wanted to avoid. Um that would probably get out of hand, but um shoot. I'm yeah, straight up the train of thought, but uh overall that's at least that's the one thing I want to talk about with the ending. At the the ending I I found it's satisfactory at the very least.

SPEAKER_04: 4:03:50

Yeah, now see, we've already talked about this on Facebook where yeah, we were like saying how like people wanted to shit on Death Who so bad, like uh a lot of people just didn't like Death Who ever since they found out that he had like multiple quirks. But like, to be fair, him giving up his powers. Okay, okay, hold on. First of all, uh Tuck, we already did the Harry Potter H3 movie, right? And you already know what I'm about to say to where like we all went around the panel and we were all like, hey, yo, if that was me with the elder one, I'm gonna snap it like Harry did. I would have at least kept it in like green guns or something where I'm like, okay, well, I'm not gonna use it like every day, but like I'm gonna just break it, you know. So I kinda understand where they are coming from, but with my hero academia, them getting mad that he gave up his quirk defeats the purpose of the whole series. Because remember, one for all is inherited, it's transferable to where even if he beat Shigaraki and didn't give up one for all, he had to do it eventually, anyways. So I'm like, I don't know why y'all being mad, it had to happen anyways. Like, hell, even the second move when he gave Bakugo one for all, but it didn't fully transfer because the best just didn't want that to happen. Um, I felt like that was uh foreshadowing to what was going to happen anyways, where he's gonna have to give up one for all or find a new successor. Like, you know, that one kid that he bumped into uh while he was down and about. And I was like, oh yeah, you can be a hero too. And um, this shit happens, but oh well, damn, I'm on my last leg. All right, hey, kid that I just met uh not too long ago. Uh take this hair and inherit one for all. Like it was gonna happen either way, but this is like the best way he could give up one for all to not only beat the big bad, but also to save him at the same time. It was like he gave up the quirk in a way that makes sense for decades.

SPEAKER_03: 4:05:59

Yep. And uh, oh yeah, okay. I I think I I think I just remembered too the I guess it's a like a little thing, not as big of a deal. But I've also seen some part of the fan that made the assumption on, you know, when everybody was doing their own thing, the whole eight-year thing. I think there were some people that were like kind of, I guess, crapping on Beku's friends about, you know, of when he was a teacher and all that stuff, they didn't go see him the whole time or anything like that. And I'm thinking like I thought they were would be hanging out like every so often and whatnot, because it's understandable they may not have a lot of time to see each other. I mean, in fact, that's realistic to like real life, really, because I mean middle school, high school, and all that stuff, and college or whatever, you're not gonna have a lot of time to be interacting with your friends sometimes, and you might even lose some friends here and there.

SPEAKER_04: 4:06:49

Exactly. See, that's what I was just about to mention to where like it's one thing if it was like grade school and college, where yeah, you have more time to like hang out with them because you're young and you know, all that shit. But when you're an adult, when you have a job, when you have uh marriage or kids and whatnot, you're not gonna have time for like that. Like they're out on the field uh doing hero work, he's out there um being a teacher, like even without quirks or hero or whatnot, it's like realistically, you can't really expect your friends to just be available to you all the damn time. Like eventually they just gonna uh be busy with their lives and social youth. So I don't once again, I don't understand why people are making it sound like um they don't. It just means like maybe they were hanging out with them off screen, but what you want a filler on that? See, that's I want to say some folks kind of piss me off, like with Dragon Ball Z, Dragon Ball Super, the Dragon Ball franchise as a whole, to where they want to act like Goku, the guy who likes fighting, to be spending more time with his family shit, which he should, but that's defeating the point of the show to where it's about martial arts, it's about fighting, it's about them being out on the field. But you want to take the guy who likes fighting off the field. Meanwhile, Gohan, the guy who doesn't like fighting, who does hang out with his family and shit, y'all saying, Oh, you fell off. You need to be back in the field. But what do y'all want, fans? What do y'all want? Because why are you why are you trying to push the guy that doesn't like fighting into fighting? And meanwhile, you're trying to uh have more filler episodes where Goku's just doing regular shit. Yep, I agree. Yep. That makes no sense at all. But then again, I stopped trying to argue with fans. People want what they want, but it doesn't make it good or valid. It's like people just have their purposes in like I'm not gonna judge, I'm just saying like it just defeats the point.

SPEAKER_03: 4:09:08

Yeah, same. I'm I'm I'm being the same race or something. I'm just like, yeah, I'm I'm if they got their opinions and that's their thoughts. I'm I'm not gonna sit here and like doing some 100 comment section debate about it. I'm just gonna leave it as it is. But uh overall, that's that's pretty much my final thoughts on the season and the series. I I'd watch it over again.

SPEAKER_04: 4:09:27

I'm sitting there like, damn, I'm thinking like with Goku or Gohan. I was about to make another comparison to where I'm like, why is it that you always feel this one way about Goku and then feel another way about Gohan? I feel so mad. Anyways, uh that was all you had on the final season? Yeah, okay, cool. Uh oh yeah, this the shipping, by the way. Once again, why are y'all mad? Like, why are y'all mad that Midori ended up with Udaraka? Because, like, oh uh I'm I'm mad that he's not straight. I mean, that he is straight, excuse me. Uh, and I'm like, why are you mad? Like, it was in our face the whole fucking time. Like, hell, they even admitted that yeah, they like each other, but they're standing on business trying to focus on their hero career as they should.

SPEAKER_00: 4:10:21

Like, ah, because why would you not give up on a perfectly good gay relationship between uh Kraski and Midoria and Todoraki, you know? Why can't we just have that and call it a day? That was a joke, by the way. That's a joke.

SPEAKER_04: 4:10:41

No, no, I get it. I get it, I don't even tell them. I'm just saying, like I'm just saying, it's like, bro, where are y'all coming from with that? The weird part was when they were trying to ship Udaraka with Bob to go. I'm like, bro, they do not like each other.

SPEAKER_06: 4:10:57

Udoraka.

SPEAKER_04: 4:11:00

But no, no, no. It's like imagine them being like, oh, well, yeah, they they it seem like they don't like each other, but that's just the thing. It's like people who act like they don't like each other, they end up being together. I'm like, no, that's not the case.

SPEAKER_03: 4:11:19

Yeah, I don't I don't even dive into at least when it comes to anime or really anything in general.

SPEAKER_00: 4:11:25

I'm not really whole big into the whole shipping thing, but I will just say that's a hero asked me, like, here, ship this, and I'll be like, okay, that's fine, I'll ship this later. Like for days.

SPEAKER_03: 4:11:36

Yeah, my my opinion on it is just overall, like, um, how do I put it? It's just if people want to have a headcanon of two characters, even if they're two characters that are just the um the most unlikely to be together as their head cannon, that's fine. And they want to do it as a fanfiction, write it down somewhere. That that's totally fine. The problem is it's just when you try to totally act like it's supposed to be uh or when you think it's supposed to be an actual thing, like you're taking over for the author or for their series, and you're mad over it. That's where the problem is.

SPEAKER_00: 4:12:09

Like, and that's exactly what happened with um with this particular um with my hair academia. Everyone got so upset and frustrated that Bakugo and Midoria wasn't gonna be together to the point where the point is that uh the writer had to go, wait, cause that no, that's not what this is happening. And the fact is that Hirokoshi already had given so much leeway to all of the fans. Like he purposely had rewritten so much stuff in the manga to the anime for his fans that he said, no, I'm getting this one moment of Udaka and Deku together. Like, fuck y'all.

SPEAKER_03: 4:12:56

Yeah, you gotta gotta draw a line as an author. Like it's it's gotta happen. Yeah.

SPEAKER_04: 4:13:04

Uh then like uh Tuck kind of stepped out. I was just about to ask him if he built by C thate, but that's that's on me. Like, you know, I was kinda hoping that we would be done like an hour ago, but here we are. Okay. But uh damn, like okay. Uh, y'all got any final things to say on my hero as a whole?

unknown: 4:13:33

No.

SPEAKER_00: 4:13:34

Thank God it's over.

SPEAKER_04: 4:13:37

Okay, okay. Okay, okay, okay. To be fair, that's like uh I have mixed feelings about that because on the one hand, it was one of those shows where I'm like, damn, it's over. But then again, I'm like, I'm kind of glad because if they went even longer, I'm like, nah, they're gonna be warding down the product to a point where uh I'm gonna hate it even more. So and I mean a 10-year run, like can't even be mad about that.

SPEAKER_03: 4:14:09

Yeah, sometimes uh there just needs to be stuff that just it needs to come to an end. There's just some stuff that just has to end right there, it doesn't need to be continued.

SPEAKER_04: 4:14:22

All right. Uh I kind of feel bad that I didn't get uh tough time to talk to about one of the final season because like I don't know if he's jumping back on or not. Um well if he does, then I guess we'll just talk about it. And I mean, if he doesn't, then we'll just talk about it in another time. But uh I might go ahead and close it out. But before I do that, I can't forget the video games. Like My Hero Academia All of Justice is coming in February, and don't forget about My Hero Academia Ultra Rumble, where like I I remember seeing TikToks uh Deku with all the all for one one for all powers, excuse me. Uh I'm sorry, I'm kicking this mixed up between all one and one for all. Uh and bro, he's so overpowered. Like, people were like saying, damn, like y'all made this kid a little too overpowered in the game. I'm like, that's kind of the fun of Deku, you know. He had these seven powers. I mean, not seven powers, uh technically, yeah, technically seven, or eight, you can say eight, because it's like, yeah, he's strong, but also he got the abilities of the first second, third, fourth, fifth, sixth, seventh, excuse superpower, seven, yeah, seven powers, and I'm like, yeah, I mean, I would expect that from someone who's overpowered. Yeah, but yes, uh, we are done. We are done with this review, and I'm imagining it's gonna probably be about five hours because part one was definitely about two hours, close to two hours, and this was like two and a half, so this is gonna be like a four to five hour review. So uh apologies in advance for those with uh bad attention spans. But if you made it this far, hey, I'm proud of you, my boy. But yeah, let's go ahead and close this out. Uh Savvy Hero, I thank you for being on. Tough. I know this is your show, but I glad that you were on when you were. Ladies and gentlemen, just remember to stay nerdy and that great thanks to coming. Go ahead and have yourself a good morning, good afternoon, good evening, good night. But ultimately, do take it easy. We're gonna go ahead and zone up out of here and get ready for a productive 2026 year, or at least hoping that we get fairly productive. We're trying to get after, like, we're trying to get after with uh video game streams and a whole bunch of other things other than the podcast, but we just gotta get that ball rolling. So we're zoning out. Thank you for listening. Peace.
