Episode 46
To the people saying that the students are not on a vigilante mission, I think you're wrong. In order for the students to retrieve Bakugo, they will likely have to (illegally) enter the villains' place of residence and take Bakugo away. They could instead alert the proper authorities who have legal permission to pursue and retrieve Bakugo on their behalf. Also, we expect that the villains are not going to give Bakugo back without a fight, so the students are likely going to get into a fight and try to solve the problem with illegal activity. Lida comparing the current stealth mission to his own mission is mostly accurate. The students are doing this on their own without consulting adults and they are putting their lives in danger against permission from their guardians. After Lida made his irresponsible action, he realized how important it is for the students to consult more experienced and knowledgeable heroes who are in a better position to act. I'm happy to see Bakugo taking inspiration from All Might, but I think Bakugo's perception of All Might is still off. All Might probably considers winning to be "helping people at all costs", but Bakugo seems to think that winning means "beating up bad guys at all costs". I hope to see Bakugo evolve a bit more towards the "helping people" side rather than the "hitting people" side of heroism. |

It's hard not to see the plan to rescue Bakugo as anything other than vigilantism. Momo already gave the licensed heroes what they needed to rescue Bakugo, so now it is about making up for their own perceived failures. I can certainly sympathize with Iida's anger that Deku and Todoroki are acting on their own after they barely avoided any real punishment by virtue of saving someone's life in the process. Even if they aren't considered to be in technical violation of the rules, which assumes that their sneak in-sneak out idea works, it still makes for a bad pattern where they get by as long as things work out.
I'd say you're right. Both he and Deku are shown being inspired by videos of All Might's exploits, but Deku's is the video of All Might saving lots of people from a fire, while Bakugo's is a video of All Might fighting several villains at once. |

but that can also be used as a valid reasoning to compare this rescue arc to saskue's rescue arc. i mean if he were to learn the truth about his hero savior all might from all for one, i could easily seeing that actually happening. after all bakugo is supposed to be the definition of the anti hero. |

With regards to the episode 47 review:
He is the All For One user from the One For All origin story (the story was the origin of the quirk itself, not All Might). There's only ever been one All For One (it's both the name of the quirk and the villain himself). Deku even says, "That's All For One." in the post-credits scene of this episode. Seems like sort of an odd thing to lack info about, maybe go rewatch a bit of episode 33 to hear the story again. |

Sam, as someone said above, he is All For One. His name appears on-screen (as it did back in episode 38) when Shigakari's asks for help, and then Midoriya states who he is at the end of the episode. Heck, the name of the episode is "All For One"
 I'm guessing it's been some time since season 2 so you forgot about him? 'Cause judging by your review of episode 33, you knew who he was:
Anyway, I'm digging the new background songs we got in this episode, especially the ones when AfO shows up. |

I'm really glad they chose one of the MHA' fandom favorite moment to give to Yutapon. This was the perfect love letter to the moment that propelled KirixBaku through the stratosphere. These two grabbing hands was perfectiob. Yutapon going insanely extra on it will make it even stronger now. Bless studio BONES. Giving MHA fans so much.
Now give me even more Kiri and Baku merch!(there is already so much I'm going to declare bankruptcy) |

Yutapon actually chose to do that scene
Apparently Yutapon joked about making Bakugou flying off into the stratosphere but the staff stopped him. https://twitter.com/sekise10/status/1005378371944046593?s=19 r/anime's discussion of said scene: https://www.reddit.com/r/anime/comments/8q06xv/clip_my_hero_academia_bakugous_jump_by_yutaka/ |

I'm glad Sam pointed out how extra that rescue scene was because even though it was a technical marvel it also completely took me out of the scene.
For anyone who read the manga you know how tame that scene was by comparison and seeing it in the anime just made me think "if you could have always done that, why wait until the others showed up to get you?" He flew like half a mile before even grabbing Kirishima's hand after basically nukeing himself in the air taking out all the villains around him. Sometimes less is more and they honestly went way too far with it no matter how cool it looked. 4/5 |

Glad the review made note of All For One's relationship with Shigaraki. It's interesting to me that he seemed proud that Shigaraki showed enough maturity to ask for help as soon as he was clearly over his head, and he even complimented him for showing improvement, even if the overall plan was a failure. Plus, he seems to consider himself some sort of protector of villains given how he blamed All Might for "sacrificing" them in order to become #1.

Wait what's lukewarm about it? He was super positive and showed that he really enjoyed it. Also the lastest BC episode was amazing. It wad easily one of the best episode this year. it definitely deserved the praise he gave it. He gave really well written thoughts for both too. I don't get you BC haters sometimes. Would I have given the episode a higher grade myself? Of course. But a B+ is great so I don't have much of a problem. |

I certainly don't care about the letter-grades, but I do find it sort of confusing how he can write a glowing review with only a few criticisms that are all like "but this slightly bad thing is actually good when you think about it"... and then give it a B+. Some episodes got an A, but I don't really see why he felt differently about those.
Maybe it'd be better to just leave out the grades entirely... but people need their condensed numerical score of a subjective thing. |
