[@Hakuu_A19]

The reason no one catches onto Deku having one for all is ignorance from everyone to an extent. From their perspective, he's a fan boy with a similar quirk to all might just shouting out all his signatures moves like it's WWE

[@Blackfoxloki]

That's awesome

[@nixonesport1998]

Nah. Just anime logic

[@ryanklip24]

Arif Ahmed this is further explained because people don’t know all mights quirk or how it works. So it very much looks like Deku is also strong and is a fanboy and all might has taken a liking to him because of that.

[@ryanklip24]

Prïnce Nixon nah, imo it makes a lot of sense.

[@adamirwin9751]

As well as that powerup quirks aren't that rare. Super strength seems to be a common enough type of quirk for people to have.

[@jbriggs06]

Everyone always assumes "shouldn't they know Deku's like Almight?" That doesn't make any sense though... It cannot be THAT strange that someone would mimic the worlds greatest hero... There's probably thousands of kids with strength based quirks who try to mimic Almight. Hello look at how many people scream "Kamehameha" irl...

[@cormano64]

For real, All Might has a ton of hero fans around Japan and probably the world. And deservedly so.

[@thestairguy]

@@LD1E60 You seem to forget that no one else knows that quirks can be transferred by certain people. To everyone else you're born with what you got and that's it. They all just assume Deku is copying Allmight. Or, like Todoroki, he's somehow Allmight's son.

[@nhahtrebor91]

[@alec8485]

Kappa that’s why todoroki thought that Deku was all mights love child or whatever. You’ve got to keep in mind, particularly since the public doesn’t know about all for one, the idea of transferring quirks is probably inconceivable to people. It’s just not something anyone except for the hardcore conspiracy theorist would believe. Also, Dekus manifestation of the power is still different enough from almights (almighty has no lightning of power lines, unless those are just there for the viewers benefit, but I don’t think it is) that it just looks like they both have overwhelming general strength augmenting quirks, which could also be why people think all might gives preferential treatment to deku (I.e. deku reminds all might of a young version of himself). There are other strength based students, but none of them have explosive strength like that. Combine that with the public villain attack from season one against the sludge monster, and that could give people the reasoning of why all might sees potential in deku, and focuses on helping him. And the similarity in fighting styles and names could easily be explained by dekus known fanboy-ness. (Sorry for the potential incoherency of what I wrote, multi tasking while typing out comments can lead to nonsense).

[@jas8288]

@@LD1E60 To everybody else in this world, it is unfathomable that quirks could be transferred like that. Deku could easily be a super fanboy with a strength quirk mimicking his hero. If someone managed to connect them, they would probably think they were father/son (like todoroki did).

Blood type is actually normal information to share in Japan, a lot of other anime/manga include blood type on character sheets. They think blood type affects personality, like Type A people are well-organized or Type O people are optimistic; It's kind of like horoscope signs.

was that actually confirmed? i always thought, that was just a guess from fans. 😮

[@chrisschoenthaler5184]

SeriousLife From what I’ve seen, the manga actively teased that this might be the case, without solidly confirming it. Also, that kid was Tsubasa, the grandson of the doctor who confirmed that Midoriya was quirkless.

[@CaffeinatedKing]

It's probably a good idea to remind you guys that quirks being transferred to and from people is not a thing that exists, as far as the world at large knows. It's why Deku was confused about inheriting OFA in the beginning, why Bakugo was so angry and confusd in the beginning also and why Todoroki wondered if he was All Might's secret child during the tournament. We as anime fans having seen so many shows, we assume that a power can probably transfer because it's anime, Deku mentioned in the very start that transferring has never been considered in debates about quirks. In MHA it is an entirely unfathomable concept, which is why the obvious answer to Deku's similarities to All Might don't come to mind for most characters. On top of that, 80% of the world has quirks remember, so all kinds of strength quirks (with different rules, triggers and limitations) are probably fairly common place, the idea of a person being inspired by All Might to the degree of copying attack names isn't too shocking, especially with how little people tend to know about the specifics of another person's quirk.

[@sylendraws1249]

Maybe the reason people don’t assume Deku has All Mights quirk is because people view quirks as a part of their body and something that cant be transfered. If this happened in real life but with athletes instead of heroes you wouldn’t assume one transfered their genes to the other.

[@Merilirem]

Yeah the only one who thought that so far was Todoroki who had to assume he was All Mights love child. Deku also breaks himself.

There are currently about nine people in total who actually know that it’s even possible for a quirk to be permanently transferred from one person to another.

The blood type is a long standing thing with japanese. You see it in some older game manuals. Is a shorthand for what kinda personality.

[@fablihakhan904]

Todoroki has a gift of empathizing and understanding the darkness in others even a little more than Deku. Probably because he himself was faced with his dark side. Thing you have to remember is All Might said Todoroki gave a similar vibe to Midoriya. Todoroki too is really a true hero but he had given in to his frustrations and forgotten his inspiration. Midoriya cleared his head and helped him look up from that. Now his journey is to struggle and recover from limiting himself and finding who he is as a hero. Helping Iida is one of his first steps to understanding who Todoroki really is. Honestly one of my favorite characters. Whose journey I am so freaking excited to see.

"Full Cowling" is originally "Full Cowl", it's just for whatever they translated it to "Cowling". And if I were to guess, it's a generalized superhero reference, like how Batman has his "cape and cowl".

In the sub it kinda sounds like he's saying "full cowling" too so that might be why.

[@FlubbedPig]

@@itscris1973 It sounds a lot more like he's saying "Kaoru", which would be the way "Cowl" phonetically translates into their writing system. But yeah, when it's said with all the background music and emotion the extra syllable at the end kinda tricks you into hearing an "ing". It's not a bad translation, it's just kinda weird to me. The ACTUAL ones that bug me are in Season 3 where english words are clearly audible in some attack names but they're translated completely differently in the subtitles/dub audio.

[@ZainKaneko]

the original is actual "full cowling" and was original subbed as "full cowl". the problem with that is "one for all: full cowl" sounds like the name of a super move...which isn't how quirks work. "full cowling" isn't a name or a command...it's a description. the reason he still has to tell himself to go "full cowling" is because it's still a new way for him to use the quirk currently but you notice he stops saying it later in the series.

One thing people don't really notice on their first viewing is what amounts to an important character moment for Endeavor. His catchphrase of "I'm here because I'm a hero" is the exact opposite of All Might's which is "Because I am here!". This is important in setting up what makes Endeavor number 2 instead of number 1. Even though he has incredible prowess and abilities he can't get over the hurdle into the top spot because he views being a hero as a job and that's why he saves people, because he is obligated to and he's really more into the wealth, admiration, and perks he's gained from being a hero. All Might reached number one because he wants to save those that can't save themselves and that moral determination put him on top in the eyes of the people. Others put All Might on top. Endeavor is number two because he wants to be on top and saves people to reach that end. Endeavor wants to take the top for himself, even if that means knocking the people above him off the ladder instead of climbing higher.

Anime academia has many chapters already but I believe this chapter end is the most stressful cliffhanger. Everyone love MHA before that but everyone hate it after that.

[@DumbIdeaPresentedStupidly]

"maybe he should up his power a little" We literally just had an episode about this

[@noisepollution4473]

I love how this show shows the knock-on effect of good deeds. Like, Todoroki is empathizing with and saving Iida because Deku did the same thing for him. And Deku did that for Todoroki in part because Deku is wonderful, but also in part due to the inspiration of All Might's heroism. The show makes sure to show the lasting effect that good deeds have on the world around you. I love it.

One really cool thing is that I've seen all these episodes, I have seen all of naruto, all of atla, and its amazing because they get to watch all these amazing things for the first time like there's SOO much shit that's gonna happen in naruto and my hero academia and we get to feel like we're watching these for the first time as well. Cuz the sad truth is that there is not much of amazing animes and shows out there and after watching them completely, it kinda leaves a hole in you that only another show of such caliber can fill. So it's amazing that we get to experience watching these shows for the first time again. Keep it up! and please don't stop watching Naruto! And watch rising of the shield hero!

I'm just saying, season 3 is good! It also has a better theme in my opinion.

[@vix_djcninja3154]

@@beastbakugo3044 please be cautious, these people haven't seen it yet. So please don't talk about it

[@jordanholt9170]

Season 3 is basically the Bakugo reflection season. Basically everything that happens in the first half is because Bakugo is a terrible person, and the second half is the fallout of what happens. And the second to last fight in season 3 is one of the best in the series.

Suraj was HILLARIOUS here lol.

"I hope somebody dies" _~moments later~_ "oh man i wasn't hoping he would die, that's fucked up" Nahid lol Midoriya helped Todoroki out of a dark place; Todoroki helped Iida out of a dark place. This episode and reaction was 🔥 I love how Todoroki's pushing Stain back with ice to not only keep him in Deku's presence, but keep him away from Iida and Native.

[@pedroribeiro9746]

"i don't think anyone's really gonna die in this show" me: *wipes a single tear*

[@ForbiddenFate]

Stain actually has a really cool backstory but they don't really talk about it in the anime or the manga. It's only really talked about in the spinoff manga "my hero academia vigilantes"

[@kingleo2134]

Damn now I’m all caught up and now I have to wait for reactions😭

Wonderful speech and insight for Todoroki loved the music. 🔥🔥🔥

that winged nomu is the kid with wings from the 1st episode

[@Spooky_man]

In my opinion... This episode is actually WAY better in English dub than in the sub

[@ThisisKyle]

"Somebody needs to die, to make the show seem real" Manga readers know what's up

[@Minuet888]

I love in the bottom left corner it just says logo instead of the title

[@yugoxgc]

Why would you expect anybody to have a reaction at all to Deku naming his attacks like All Might. The guy is THE NUMBER ONE HERO. It's like repeating catch phrases of your favorite character. EVERY kid in the world with a basic super strength power would calling their attacks the same. All it tells the villains is that Deku is a huge All Might's fanboy. Like probably about a million other kids in this world

[@Nobody-tq2ld]

I thought Rana said *“Those some fly nomu~”*

[@detectiveprincegoroakechi4815]

When you guys finish season 2 before starting season 3 check out the movie my hero academia two heroes, it happens between season 2 and 3

"Similar to him being stuck by that purple haired guy...Tetsutetsu?" 10:28 *Breathes in* Me: *Boi*

I love how it just says "LOGO" where the series logo should be. XDDDD

7:38 "Deku Dek-ed him!!" I gotta say, I've never heard that pun before... :'D

[@hiimanhuman]

11:41 anyone else find it halrious how fast Stain threw that fucking dagger ?? dude was not wasting any time at all !!!

[@pj_spirit]

To be fair, with 80% of the entire world having quirks, someone with an ability like All Might’s and then copying him isn’t exactly all that hard to imagine. Kirishima (hard boy, if the Normies read this and still don’t have names down) has a quirk that’s like 2 different people, Tetsutetsu and Crimson Riot, and he even made his hero name Red Riot to pay homage to Crimson Riot. And they show (no spoilers) in the manga that some people identify better with others simply by having similar quirks. It’s not too unreasonable for the characters to see Deku copying All Might’s moves, making his hood and mask look like his hair and face and All Might favoring him, as Deku just being a Plus Ultra fanboy and All Might being biased due to their quirks being near identical. Hell, we’ve already seen 2 water based heroes at this point in the show (no names or context coming up but incredibly slight spoilers for Normies) and later on there’ll be 3 more. (No unknown names or context but incredibly slight manga spoilers) Someone even calls Deku a Gran Torino rip-off because of how he starts moving around with all of that jumping about.

[@bunnykizu5565]

I really love your anime's reactions! If u want some anime recommendations you might wanna check this out. -Sword Art Online (action, fantasy, romance) one of the best animations, the details are so good :) -Blue exorcist (action,fantasy) I forgot the plot but it was a school type of anime just like hero academia. -The time I reincarnated as a slime (action,fantasy) if u want a OP main character. There r so many good action anime but u can see it first^^

[@Blackfoxloki]

Hope you guys catch Stain's ideology.
