ALL FOR ONE VS ALL MIGHT! | My Hero Academia Episode 11 Reaction (S3)

[@noske6388]

The most beautiful thing about this episode is that he only heard the lady that was stuck. He heard her, and nobody else. That's when all might got the strenght to keep going, all because he heard one person believe in him.

[@ArkanMatlub03]

I mean, no one else was there that said anything

[@noske6388]

@@ArkanMatlub03 that's why I said this. He needed one person to believe in him at that moment and it was all he needed. ❤️

[@GabrielRojasAhumada]

He is like deku, this fight mirrors deku vs muscular, both of them regained strenght when they notices they still had 1 person to protect. Even All Might uses his broken arm like deku always does

[@FrizFroz]

That lady is a real homie.

[@driel.du_ub]

Who helps the heroes when they're suffering?

[@eddiewalter6003]

It always gets me... Allmight's bait and switch punch. "It's weak!" - Mechanically, it is. His weight is wrong, it's an awkward angle. A clumsy hook without a lot of strength. "That's because my back wasn't in it!" - A lunging step. Planted leading foot. Pivot at the hips. Tucked fist into a rotation out for full extension. That's a hell of a lot more than his back.

[@christmassuy84]

“腰を入れる”My waist(back) is in it means I do my best, in Japanese

@@christmassuy84 so, logically, if he said “that’s because my back *wasn’t* in it,” he was meaning “that’s because I didn’t do my best”

​@@christmassuy84 Not a bad localization. "Put your back into it!" is a common phrase for giving it your all, and makes a similar pun about his punch form.

I heard AFO's VA came to check on him after that.

[@cry-o1436]

Plus ultra amirite?

[@CountForte]

What I appreciate most about this scene is that the average viewer is more afraid for Toshinori than they normally would be because they're familiar with the mentor death trope, and then it gets subverted.

[@GabrielRojasAhumada]

And not only that but we see the menton win fighting like his student, using the signature deku style of punching even harder with the broken arm, and switching the power between his limbs as needed

[@CountForte]

@@GabrielRojasAhumada Yeah, absolutely. The fact that it was so bad / frowned upon for Deku makes it surprising that it ends up being an inspiring lesson for a dire situation.

[@CountForte]

@@colt1903 Yeah, some of that growth shown in future scenes are some of my favorite moments.

[@madladdie7069]

@@CountForte I mean, the reasons it's frowned upon for Deku don't really apply here, hence why it's a fallback.

[@VBane]

The mirroring of Allmight launching his final attack with a wrecked arm that looks so much like Dekus always gets me.

[@Poke-ladd]

AFO might be considered a generic final boss, but he’s so good at what he does, manipulating people that the trope works

[@GabrielRojasAhumada]

I mean, I thought that is what he wants right?

[@YouAnd_OnlyYou]

AFO is an absolute cheeser and I'm here for it.

[@ignaciotaborda6538]

more than manipulating I just love his shit talk, he just knows what to say to make it feel personal and because of that, truly hurtful.

[@wildeyoung3943]

I love that flickering spark turning into a raging flame one last time. Beautiful scene

[@blakeverdon4492]

Flames burn brightest right before they go out. It's the perfect metaphor and visualization for All Might and each of his fights leading us to this. It's his final fight, and thus, the most visually stunning and impactful on the world.

[@mike-ology444]

The English dub has endeavor yell "show him why you're better!" Which is similar but really hits different

[@KushinaUzumaki32]

yeah i like both sub and dub but i really prefer what endeavor says in english dub right there

[@soybajo-kira8585]

This shows dub is on par with the sub imo

[@coraz6825]

I honestly prefer the dub for MHA. Not necessarily for the delivery but for the writing of the dialogue itself. I think for native English speakers at least the dub’s translation is more impactful than the sub’s

[@wolfarrow6521]

​@coraz6825 I agree watching in sub felt weird, none of the lines were delivered like they are in dub. Both versions are good watches though

[@madladdie7069]

The sub for this show has some really good bit. Like what they do with Shiggy's voice.

[@mordirit8727]

It's been years but to me "Farewell, All For One. Farewell, One For All" is still the hardest hitting line in the manga

[@Juice1984]

I thought I had gotten over it, but I bawled just like the first time 5 years ago.

[@droiidaster]

Even if MHA is not in my top 3 It's one of the best lines in every manga ever It's just so powerfull and emblematic

[@redlighting844]

Fax even with the current stuff going on none of that holds a candle to this ep in terms of emotion

[@RebelGiga]

It was the line that ended a generation 😢 and started a new one.

[@AsobiMedio]

@@droiidaster MHA has a problem with consistency, but its high points are monumentally high.

[@Essendiinanis]

Alica's "I need you to win" hit just as hard as the civilians begging All Might to win. She, in that moment, became one of the citizens watching the news. This is one of several reasons why I adore Alica as a reactor. She's so perceptive, but also so invested in the show that she BECOMES part of the show! She transforms into someone on the side, watching everything going on, as opposed to a force observing the universe. I respect her a lot, and wish her nothing but the best! Maybe when I am more financially stable I'll toss some money her way to help with her cancer recovery. She deserves it. Don't give up Alica! We're here for you!

[@heishinayo2024]

I'm watching these reactions now and you deserve some fucking props cuz that's the most beautiful shit I've read today 😭

[@Alone-SF]

I like how the only proof AFO gives for his claims is "that's totally something I would do"

[@CharlesTaylor-lo6ol]

You may be surprised to find that comparisons between all might/endeavor's relationship and deku/bakugo's are not a new concept. Its generally accepted that its probably intentional

[@AugustoEL]

It is basically, what could happen if they never get a better relationship, the gap would grow and they will paralel the past.

[@Grimbear13]

As I sit here tears in my eyes again (can never not at least tear up at this episode) I recall the first time I saw it I was reverted to a 10 year old kid watching Saturday morning cartoons. I was watching it in my theater room with my big ass 200" screen and I had a big bean bag at the time in the middle of the room. I moved down to it to lay down and as this fight built up, I slowly sat up until I was sitting there Indian style elbows on knees eyes welling up screaming cheering for All Might to win and praying my fave char wasn't about to die! I fucking LOVE this episode.

[@kaku4434]

I never thought i would witness an epic yet emotional fight, this marked the end of an era in the my hero universe, what an amazing episode

[@sunsothy4755]

This episode never fails to hype me up now matter how many times I've watched it

[@daeji3006]

I've seen this episode maybe 20 times before, never felt nearly as emotional as I have right now watching this "with you". A great episode, a great reaction. Absolutely stellar all around experience. Alicia uploading this early helps my sleep schedule more than anything else to be honest. Thank you for your reactions, your positivity, your emotions, your everything. I know I'm not the only one that appreciates it. ❤

The writing for the dub is a LOT better, like a LOT so (to the point I feel like people actually miss out on stuff in sub which is sad) But the impact of the voiceacting for the sub is there. That United States of Smash hit so hard, you can feel it in your soul, that sub VA put their everything into it.

[@TooMuchCarbs]

Did you know that ALL MIGHT's voice actor actually fainted when he delivered that "United States of Smash" line? I think it was a combination of many takes and how vocally straining that line was.

[@davidwilson6577]

Horikoshi's writing. You've got the lines like 'that's because my back wasn't in it', and AfO's 'that's something I would do'. Just on a line by line level, really powerful stuff. You've also got the super subtle worldbuilding about All Might's past, deciding to be the symbol of peace because the world they lived in was so crime-ridden even with heroes working against the chaos of a superpowered society (remember this when more of the history comes up, All Might is GOAT). The pressure on the narrative for the main characters to do the same thing. Work in Endeavor's motivation at the same time. Kamui and Mt. Lady need their development too. And oh yeah, better foreshadow that traitor stuff. Can't forget about that.

[@Kyle_116]

I really like what the English dub had Endeavor say when he screamed at All Might. Here, the sub says "What's with that pitiful back!" In English he says, "Stand up and show them why you're better!"

[@Amyisntcreative]

No cause every time Alicia is crying this much I feel protective LMAOO. This was such an impactful battle and it really set us up for further in the show.

I have seen this episode like 10 times and I was still crying there with you. I've had All Might with he raised fist as my desktop BG for months

[@mezz09smezzanine]

I've seen a few reactions to this episode, and sure seeing most of them leaping from their chairs and screaming cheers at "United States of Smash" was awesome, but I don't think I have ever seen an episode of anything more deserving of a reactor that can let the tears flow.

[@XxKingCraZyxX]

Now I hear Alicia's: Mommy?! Sorry. MOMMY?! Sorry. but twice as intense 😂

[@sleepybeef2412]

In the past I've had a friend ask during an anime discussion if there was an anime I'd like to forget and experience again for the first time. I still do not have an answer to that question, but if there was a single episode I'd like to experience again for the first time, it would be this one. The Shigaraki twist, the soundtrack, the despair felt by the immovable symbol of peace, the United States of Smash, the defeat of All for One and the end of One for All. All these things I'd love to experience again for the first time.

[@CrownofMischief]

12:25 no need to relax, you're exactly right. As I saw one person put it, Endeavor is basically a reflection of what Bakugo's future would be like if he continued to hold on to jealousy and pride without getting proper closure. Of course the difference is Endeavor's pride extends to his progeny beating All Might. Bakugo would probably never take that route because no way he's letting some little sh!t kid of his be better than him.

[@iansynge7656]

You know what this always makes me think of? It makes me think of a movie, set after the end of a long-running shonen series, all about the hero of THAT story passing on the torch to the next generation. We never got to see All Might's journey. But we FELT the weight of its finale nonetheless.

[@pjsmith97]

13:09 This is one of those things that the dub kind of changes or clarifies that I liked. In the dub, Endeavor shouts "STAND UP AND SHOW THEM WHY YOU'RE BETTER!". It's meant to showcase that despite his hatred, he knows All Might is a better hero than him, and he can't stand to see someone he's struggled to compete with for years be defeated like a chump.

[@captainomega6315]

This episode made me cry like a baby. It made All Might one of my favorite superheros

[@ceramicholiness]

Gotta check out the dub for this one too. Endeavor’s big line becomes “STAND UP AND SHOW THEM WHY YOU’RE BETTER” and I’ve cried every single time.

[@Italianchef26]

Man, it's always such a bittersweet but hype moment when you hear the whole crowd cheer "All Might! All Might! All Might!"

18:53 Best final attack ever

[@jenniferarnold9681]

Ok here's the difference, when I heard Endeavor say what's with that pitiful back, I heard it like, Straighten your back! Don't bow before evil, show them why you're number one!

[@That_guy_you_dont_know]

Two big dudes punching each other will never be this much epic

[@tboy817]

I definitely prefer dub dialogue especially Endeavor's "SHOW THEM WHY YOU'RE BETTER" Has to this day stuck to me

[@Sccorpy]

I know I saw this in a reddit thread and elsewhere, but I still love this fact. Can we appreciate WHY All Might is the Symbol of Peace? Because before All Might, evil ran rampant. AFO was at the peak of his power, criminal activity was at an all time and the attempts to bring peace constantly failed. All Might, stopped it. All Might brought about a World of Peace where evil was put away and the World can shine bright once more. One man, stopped the machinations of so much evil and power BY HIMSELF! This is why this moment is so powerful (to me) as it shows the unyielding heart of the hero that All Might is, regardless of his form and just makes you think... just how effing strong WAS he in his prime, when THIS is him at his weakest?!

[@CaffieneKitty]

Damn, watching this episode after watching season 6 and 7 hits _different._

[@OtomostheCrazy]

You probably already read something like this by now, but what Izuku was referring to when he said he heard the opposite of “Next, your turn” is that while everyone else thought All Might was talking to the criminals, it really meant that he had used up everything he had, and it was now Izuku’s turn to become the pillar of hope for the people

[@could9c]

Fun Fact: in a way to do the United States Smash, the voice actor of All Might faint in the middle of the performance

[@spadeas49]

Alicia, you were afraid that All Might would die and in a way it is, but Toshinori is still alive and it remains a plus for the rest of the events. Only now, we'll have to imagine a world without All Might and that's where things will be "interesting".

[@fatesrequiem]

NGL, this fight climax had tears streaming down my face the first time I watched it. MHA has made me cry more times than a shounen has any right to.

[@Abyss_Princess]

18:53 All Might's VA really put his heart and soul into that

[@Kelibarth]

It goes without saying just how emotional the whole All Might scene is, but what I find incredible after re-watching this episode is that one Endeavor scene. The second he sees All Might, battered and bruised, he screams out in rage. What is he thinking about? His own family and how he mistreated them. As awful of a person as he was outside of work, it's fascinating that in that very moment he immediately recalls his past actions, akin to asking: what was all the suffering he caused even for if it all ended up like this?

[@tycol322]

AFO gets a lot more twisted once you realize the scope of his powers and one theory is that he didn't just select Shigaraki cause he was the orphaned grandson of All Mights master but that he orchestrated the entire situation that put him there.

[@selensewar]

That might sound cheesy, but i really do cry every time i see The Scene. Such a great episode of a great show.

[@FandomDude]

Honestly i really liked Tiger's speech in the dub "you have to stop him all might this personification of evil, pros and citizen everywhere are praying for your victory no matter what you look like you're still everyones hero" sounds so good

[@sethgibson5148]

Man the dub did Endeavor so much better this episode. "Stand up and show them why you're better!" Way better line then what they had him say.

[@natsuotodoroki]

God, even now, several years later, I get like, maximum chills when watching this...

[@Butane9000]

It's more then that for Endeavor. The knowledge that All Might is so weak yet somehow maintained his ability. The idea that you worked so hard against such an ideal image only to realize the dude was surpassing you while actually frail and broken. As for what I mentioned last episode the name Shigaraki Tomura has significant meaning that'll be revealed so keep an eye out in later episodes for it.

[@AtomSkeptic]

The last time they fought all might beat all for one's ass blind while all mights guts were hanging out.

[@sentientcorgi1240]

I guess we did get that death Alicia was fearing since S1, the death of All Might the hero persona.

[@joshuadunn2]

In this one case, I do prefer the English dub to the sub when it comes to Endeavor telling All Might about how he has always tried to surpass him, but no matter how hard he tried, it was never enough. Here in the dub he says "What is with that pitiful back?!" In the dub, he screams "STAND UP AND SHOW THEM WHY YOU'RE BETTER!" And for me, that hits SO much harder and deeper, and it says so much more about who Endeavor is as a character. Despite what he may say, there's is no one he respects more than All Might, because that is the person he has always measured himself against and been found wanting every time.

[@en4833]

It's not. It's a mistranslation and completely misses what Endeavor was feeling at that moment. Endeavor sees All Might as this insurpassable wall, and to see him in this broken down, deflated state, completely shatters Endeavor's world view. That's why he asks "What is that pitiful back?!", because he can't understand how this man, who he has worked his entire life to surpass, could seem so weak and powerless. Endeavor saying "stand up and show them why you're better" is not only a mistranslation, but it's also completely out of character for Endeavor.

All-Mights MJ game 6 moment

[@bthsr7113]

Symbols have power beyond mere ink, cloth, and the muscle underneath. Though they are not as indestructible as one Bruce Wayne instance believed. At least, not here. Though of course, even when a symbol crumbles, those who it inspired may still stand firm. You just KNOW that AFO aimed All Might specifically at that new chopper full of bystanders. AFO: I cast Vicious Mockery, does my dark revelation give me advantage? The only person All Might heard was the one immediately behind him. Even beyond this one series' conventions, the number of times a superhero thinks back to their origin to find resolve is.... substantial. Or even if it's not for resolve, it's to contextualize who they are for the audience. Consider how many times we've read or watched the Waynes die over the decades of Batman Media. Of particular note in my mind is the graphic I take zero offense at you saying Endeavor is similar to Bakugo. I actually agree with you on that. A singular pillar with no backups. All Might's drive to be a symbol of peace means that if he falls today, the entire world will feel the shock. The way All Might is rerouting power..... He may not be the greatest teacher, but it takes a wise master to learn from the apprentice. UNITEDSTATESOFSMASH! Man, my best friend and I were whooping it up when we first saw this final blow. He's out of juice, but he used the last drops well. Don't you dare feel bad for crying. This is one of the most potent moments in the show, and it is exceptionally bittersweet. Appreciate seeing snake lady actually heroing. A whole lot of things are going to change. One thing that hasn't really is that Deku needs to speedrun his training. AFO is down for the count, but All Might just retired on international live news.
