honestly when Uraraka fought Bakugou, I started out "We know where this is going", then goes to " No, don't tell me" when she figured out a strategy, and teared up when Bakugou just rips all of that work as simply as that. It was an emotional roller coaster it didn't say Bakugou is that more powerful than Uraraka, it tells a story of how Bakugou never underestimate his opponents and how people with even the simpler quirks can win against really strong ones if their opponent let their guard down even abit. Ngl, it was the first time I realized : it's not the ending that matters, it's the journey. Because those end up telling more about the story

Just imagine if it was actually a thing in highschool. We take children, put them in an arena and make them fight in a tournament of one or one fist fights, until they're is only one winner.

[@r.a.fgattaiguy845]

that would be really stupid

[@kaisawatson]

Ikr, they let 15yo kids potentially harm themself irremediably, but it's a perfectly normal thing in shonen anime.

[@r.a.fgattaiguy845]

It makes sense here, they are meant to show off their abilities while competing with each other, the only reason they can go so far with the fights is because they have an amazing nurse in the school, but even then, if they go too far, like in Deku vs Todoroki, they will stop them

[@kaisawatson]

Yeah, and it worked out so well that none of them had any sort sequelae, like a crippled hand or sth XD. Joking aside, it's not because you get healed that you don't go through high level of pain. I agree that it make sense, (and that it was absolute badass from beginning to end), but it still seems a bit twisted to me...

[@RHYDONMASTER]

[@moonraven6145]

[@juicyjuustar121]

Deku could have won but he wanted to save Todoroki from himself rather than win, he didn't care about victory, he wanted to save someone, which is the essence of a hero.

[@sobversion3]

Nah, it was stalemate going nowhere fast and Deku can only break so many bones before he goes down to the ice of Shoto

[@juicyjuustar121]

Rebellious Q Yes but remember that Todoroki has a limited amount of energy as well, and if Deku went on the offensive he could have won. Also Todoroki definitely would los against end of season 2 Deku since he can do 5% now.

A good video, but I think you missed one critical element as too why MHA's Tournament arc works so damn well, and its the Soundtrack, its expertly woven into the scenes to get that feeling of hype going, it starts swelling at just the right moments to get the blood pumping, and get you into the moment.

[@erichall090909]

Fieryone the soundtrack of MHA is absolutely Amazing

[@rona1068]

I FREAKIN LOVE BNHA’S SOUNDTRACK

[@RoFLduhasLoLgesagt]

THANK YOU! its the soundtrack of BnHA that makes the battles so good and the emotions flow like a river. the music gaves me chills so many times, thats what really is unique to that anime. and i think its one of the reasons its so good.

[@fhantom2115]

I can't remember where I heard this but I remember someone mentioning that it was not the music that was expertly woven into the scene but the opposite. The scene was made to fit the sound track, as you can actually hear the entire track from start to finish with no cuts. This is most notable during the fight of all might vs noumu and midoriya vs todoroki. Even after that fact, the whole thing just as impressive.

[@hugenerd8994]

yeah when midoria and icy hot did that last punch and the epic hype music climaxed i ejaculated

I liked the Tournament Arc because the lead protagonist doesn’t win, we learn more about Shoto’s abusive past and the brawls between quirks feel powerful like you feel the strength in a hit

[@CDexie]

@@Chelsie-bp8id I saw a comment once that said "Midoriya won the emotional battle, Shoto the symbolic and Bakugo the physical." and yet we still don't know who's the best of them three at the end of the tournament. Deku actively harmed his chances of victory, and Todoroki just gave up against Bakugo.

[@Kunoichi4ever4]

For me all 3 of them combined make the main protagonist, coz each of them needs to learn from each other before they can even attempt at being NO1. Midoriya can teach them heart. Todoroki show them the business. Katuski can teach them the drive. To success they will all need heart, drive and understanding of the hero business.

[@Catpuff818]

I've never cried during a tournament arch until My Hero Academia. Uraraka is the coolest and most relatable girl in recent shonen anime.

[@GrEaTvIdGirL]

Sunneyu I think its not so much that he was giving her a chance, but more like he really saw her as a serious opponent. He is the only one there who didn't underestimate her because he learned from seeing Deku that he can't take anyone for granted, and I just loved loooved looooved this subtle showcase of character development from him. It shows how well thought this arc was because even tho the main focus there was Uraraka, both of the characters grew and shined through without taking away the spotlight from each other 🙏

[@evasprings8738]

srsly, ochako is really the most realistic girl.... strong and determined, plus there is a different reason for her determination not led my testosterone

[@Reflexzzzz]

What about her was frail?

[@sted21]

I agree, I absolutely love her. I really hope MHA won't go the Naruto way and forget about secondary characters. Latest arc in manga was so so bad.

[@guppy8073]

Going into it I was scared as hell to see best girl uraraka going in against the most ferocious fighter in the show, but during the fight I realized that there was no reason to worry because Uraraka is not there just to be a love interest and has her own strengths and motivations. It’s one of my favorite fights ever, because the characterization that goes into it is insane. We gain respect for both parties and a deeper understanding of a formerly somewhat superficial character. Hands down one of my favorite fights of the year (though it doesn’t come close to Deku vs Todoroki)

The 2016 Presidential Election was my favorite tournament arc.

Biggest upset in tournament history. All the good characters were taken out in the prelims, and I mean, they TRIED to make the final showdown tense, but in the end it just pulls this bullshit twist that comes out of NOWHERE and made a the majority of fans PIIIIIISSED. Really poor form from the Election Arc in my opinion.

[@justsomebody2765]

Thats Not Gaming Both main characters were shit :/

[@Uploaded1995]

For the people saying that the fights in this Tournament Arc are too short, I would point you to pretty much every other fight before them. Looking at the hype fight between All Might and Nomu, if you break it down to the actual fighting then that is roughly 5 minutes at a stretch. This series just doesn't have very long fights, it's not like Dragonball Z or Naruto was with long drawn out battles and tons of dialogue; My Hero Academia quite obviously has more of a style that leans towards the short and explosive/entertaining battles. When you look at the format at the tournament (the rules of the 1v1) and the source of power for the different characters (their Quirks), plus the fights that have come before them, it really shouldn't be surprising you that they would be short bursts of action.

[@bioshockinfintyfan]

its weird that people didnt like short fights in bnha but love it in opm.

[@joshlopez1773]

It’s not that they are so short but there is no build up to most of them: they are just hastily slapped back to back. Also there is a a lot of bulshit like how Deku got saved by an asspull, the attacks have no power to them. Deku hit Todoroki with a “smash” and he somehow survived? Or how doesn’t anybody get burnt by Bakugo’s flames. Do characters have super human armor or recover faster? Some of the drama bits were well done though, Todoroki and Uraraka in particular. Dark Tournament >>> MHA Tournament

[@arealnibbaa9929]

Josh Joestar But Bakugo'd quirk is explosion

[@joshlopez1773]

Lyenell Smith What is your point? Do explosions not have flames?

[@dudedude7846]

Josh Joestar the matches that were slapped together because the characters in them haven't been developed and they have limited episodes so they were just meant to be fun things. Also were you not watching the show? Deku hit todiroki with 5%.

[@d.a.r.n1869]

@Torika Gomutsutchi There is. I mean gaara had shukaku and his mother protecting him and gaara was a gr8 shinobi. As for Lee the only thing he had was hard work. He couldn't do anything. Things would've been lot easier for Lee if gaara didn't have his mother's protection. But gaara would still win.

[@d.a.r.n1869]

@Torika Gomutsutchi What r u talking about? I never said I liked gaara heck I like Lee more than gaara. It's true his story is sad but remember if his story wasn't sad then he wouldn't have been what he was when fighting Lee. He would've been more like Naruto.

[@d.a.r.n1869]

@Torika Gomutsutchi Bro try to understand. Both Gaara and Naruto are Jinchurikiis. Their childhood had basically been torture. They were shunned from everyone. Naruto later had Iruka supporting him but for Gaara the person who took care of him and really cared for him, his Uncle , was forced to kill him by his own father. Basically both Jinchurikiis had a sad life while its true that Lee also had a tough life but that was not that tough compared to Gaara and Naruto.

[@simonenoli4418]

My hero academia is the best generic shonen anime there is atm. Everything is basic and pretty simple. Characters motivations and goals, main theme, quirks and so on is stuff we've all seen times and times again. I love that the main character is the most generic naive do-gooder of them all with literally the most generic power there is (raw physical strength). Yet because of the simplicity of it all and the way different points of view and ideas clash organically it feels so damn relatable. You cannot possibly watch this anime and feel unsatisfied at the end of every episode even if you know full well from the start (saving some minor plot twists) what is going to happen.

[@r.a.fgattaiguy845]

BNHA is not super original, but it´s not generic either

[@simonenoli4418]

it is generic. literally every shounen its like this. not saying its bad. but that's all there is.

[@manasakaguchi]

All the troupes are just polished to a freaking T

[@simonenoli4418]

your english is too english for me so i don't really get what you're saying but yeah it's a AAA production, polishing is what they excel in they probably have 7 or 8 guys looking over the anime frame by frame. also the music is so damn good it has power but the minor chords make it somewhat melancholic and adds depth. it's a running joke that You Say Run can go with everything but that's because it overlapses many themes. I am honestly in love with the buildup music. the fast guitar arpeggio superimposing over the rhymic staccato really draws me in. it's extremely well made and i have the quirk of judging animes by their OP (if the song is boring so will be the anime because it's the same editor looking over both most of the time) so this just adds on my fondness for this anime. ok i wrote another chapter of my book ahahah

[@Hawwwlucha]

+NewKingBrandon it's as Bakugo himself said, it's a hollow victory for him because Todoroki held back on using his fire quirk and therefore did not give it his all to strive for victory. It's like winning by default when you worked your goddamn ass off to achieve the means to win.

[@ebonywarrior9465]

People tend to forget that there is also another difference between MHA and other shows. The U.A. sports festival is annual meaning MHA is going to have 3 tournament arcs.

[@Sanguiluna]

@@rlamas4783 Repetitive tournaments can work if done well. Hell, New Japan Pro Wrestling (technically not anime but still) does annual tournament arcs with the G1 Climax, and they never feel redundant or boring because even if a lot of the same characters come back, 1) They're not the same people they were last time because they've changed and evolved (and, in the case of longtime veterans, even possibly degraded) over the past year and 2) Certain matchups that didn't happen in a previous tournament can happen in a new one, so there's still the possibility for fresh action.

[@rlamas4783]

@@Sanguiluna well its a diffrent medium with actual people and not animation, anime tornaments in general are boring and get repetative(not actual real life fighting tournaments) they're basically a way to have multiple fights and imo are cannon filler to have till the author figures out what to do next, so basically for weeks/months you will get lots of fights that you either dont care about or are boring until they finally get around to the main fight of the tournament

[@Sanguiluna]

@@rlamas4783 "(not actual real life fighting tournaments)" Well neither is NJPW. It's fake fights between fake characters. If the viewer doesn't care about a tournament arc's fights, that's the fault of the writer for not making the characters engaging enough for the audience to get invested in, not the fault of the tournament itself.

[@KimiRaikkonen123]

Pick up the manga, you will be surprise.

[@plainuser48596]

Manga is actually way worse than anime - in anime if you got loads of conversations you hear them. But in this manga it covers 70% of the screen there really is barely anything left for the images. Might as well read book. And I mean this solely in context of Hero Academia not anima/manga in general

[@tarantinoburrows1406]

z What are you talking about? The manga is flames right now lol?

[@soroneir1260]

But books are 100% text and they're still enjoyable...

[@plainuser48596]

Books are 100% text and are enjoyable because they are fit for the format. Mange on the other hand is composition of both text and pictures. But as is in MHA manga there is hardly any images left

[@Healthandwellnessp90]

I gotta praise u for the montage that starts at 0:22, incredible editing👍👍👍

[@Kill3rR0s3]

I honestly loved the tournament arc for Hero Academia so much, I got to meet new characters, more backstory it stayed true to Midoriya's character (which some arcs just don't do and the main character just becomes all about winning) and they did it all within about 7 episodes AND HAD A WINNER. Excellent explanation Gigguk!! :D

[@emppu1012]

Wow, I'm positively surprised and pleased. Boku No Hero Academia's dub doesn't sound bad at all. Maybe I should try watching it. With animes I usually prefer the original Japanese versions because in them the makers (most of the time) really invest in the voice acting and it's (usually) high-quality and tolerable. In dubs I've noticed it isn't so nearly as often. But I appreciate a good dub and I don't dismiss a dub just because it's a dub. If an anime has poor voice acting but the dub of it doesn't obviously I watch the dub because they did better work with it. So if people here insult My Hero Academia's dub just because it's a dub they should stop and listen. Deku's voice actor is good and so are the other characters' and I can really respect that. Can you?

[@KeranKeranos]

Shout out to One Punch Man's manga tournament arc, where nothing happened and nobody wanted it.

[@carrot708]

Which was the point. That's the joke. It's happening while elsewhere, the other characters are actually fighting the villians, and Saitama's caught up in a bog-standard martial arts tournament (though it has some pretty hype fights itself)

[@BuikQuik]

Isn't the tournament the piece that the main creator let the artist write? Or did i hear that from somewhere sketchy

[@RR-vt1bp]

What tournament

[@DINONERD27]

There's a fine line between a good joke and an unfunny waste of time that spans a few months.

[@artstsym]

The manga (not the webcomic) has just finished a fighting tournament arc that ONE wanted to do but had already moved past when he came up with it. It's a bit trite, but the core stakes for Saitama are well established, and it's intercut with other intriguing stuff happening around the city (monsters).

[@kevincen5736]

How to do a tournament arc: "Do you know Dragon Ball Super tournament arc?" "Yes." "Nothing like that."

[@NSKarthikeya]

It's a battle royal.Go watch the OG DB if you want the best tournament.

[@malcomalexander9437]

Or: "You know how JoJo has no Tournament Arcs?" "Yeah?" "I'm not doing a Tournament Arc."

[@alinblaze4534]

sounds legit.

[@Copefiend]

Malcom Alexander isn't Steel Ball Run basically a massive tournament arc?

[@malcomalexander9437]

KInda, except for the fact the plot of Tournament Arcs is the Tournament itself. After a certain point Steel Ball Run kinds stops focusing on the Race, and on the actual goal of the Race(which is a secret plot of the POTUS' to find Jesus). Basically, the race becomes less important for the actual plot.

[@fyrma936]

Guys, I think we figured out why Bleach sucked. Didn't have a Tournament arc.

[@shigerou16]

Fyrma I dont think it sucked but thats your opinion. But I disagree about it not having a tournament arc. The whole retrieval and arrancar arc were tournament arc as the consisted in 90% of 1 v 1 matches.

[@nial1396]

Bleach sucked past the first arc. It didn't know where it was going, vampire arc was horrible, I agreed with the vampires more than I did the good guys, vampires weren't fleshed out enough, saving orohime arc was okay because it was one fight after the other, like a tournament, but character had no development past their one fight and would never be seen again so who cares. I gave up when the princess filler arc started, because I realized the show was wasting a tonne of time and kept you hooked by giving you a glimpse of an interesting character(ichigo's dad) and then ignoring them until way later.

[@megasean3000]

Fyrma What would a tournament arc in Bleach even look like? I doubt the Soul Society, who is a major stick in the mud, would do a tournament to see who's the best Soul Reaper and I don't see them solving the living world's fate with the Arrancar over a tournament. Guess the Fake Karakura arc is the closest we got to a tournament arc with a battle royale type setting.

[@Ms10000123]

+Reborn Not the point at all? It is about how they fit the simplistic view, not their characters. Don't you understand that difference?

[@Flameysaur]

yeah good point. Stain doesn't seem to be a completely terrible person, well he is, but he has some complexity to him as well. and Endeavor is 2nd top hero but at the same time a terrible father

[@spindash64]

Even though I suppose I'm not far enough into the full story to say for sure (since the anime is far behind the manga, as it should be), it seems to be a Deconstruction-Reconstruction of the idea of Superheroes, similar to the incredibles in that regard, now that I think about it: "And if everyone is super... no one is" So Acedamia tries to put that theory to the test, in a sense. And while it points out the flaws in the system, in the end, it also brings us back to the original idea of a hero.

[@g.wilson536]

owl Stain is a completely terrible person, but his ideology, though twisted, was proven to work, because the areas he had hit actually had a drop in the crime rate in them, so he has evidence that his way works. It's in this way that whether a simple character or not, he escapes the idea of a typical villain.

I love the dub of my hero academia. I usually use subs but my hero academia is a diffrent case. Its such a good show that to me, dubs or subs dosent matter to me

[@themightypancake5695]

Thank you for being unbiased! For me, I alternate between what shows I watch dubbed and subbed. If it’s an anime that has a good reputation for its dub, then I watch it. However, if there’s one where the voices just annoy me, then I watch subbed. I usually go for dub most of the time, just to see if I want to stick with it, but for the most part I am fine with either

[@Bramblestar9339]

I am watching it both ways. The only thing that every truly bothers me with dubbed anime is when they don’t keep the subtext translation that are necessary when it’s dubbed. Like Deku’s here Notebook for example. When it appears on screen in the sub it has translations, but in the dubbed the just show the book and we can’t read what is says (I mean unless you’re bilingual). I just would maybe like an option for like [Translations] and then a separate option for [Closed Caption with translations] for those who need closed captions because maybe their hearing isn’t that great and sometimes they miss stuff that’s said.

[@kimberlysohrenssen7362]

I respect your opinion

knowing about anime doesn't mean you can make a good one. That's why people dreaming to be writers/comic artists often decide to become editors: they are good at recognising good works, but can't make them. On the contrary, a pro writer or mangaka is most likely able to be a good editor as well.

I think dubs are getting better for Anime, but there were alot of really awful sounding dubs I've heard so far. Even in Germany, which has one of the best and biggest synchronization industries (because every single movie and tv show is getting dubbed here), had really shitty dubs. One of the best examples: Naruto. Even though it's insanely popular all around the world and so in Germany, its dub is horrendous compared to the quality you'd normally get to hear for tv shows and movies.

[@JoBikotch]

That's what I said, didn't I? Yeah, it's actually kinda sad how bad german anime dubs are when Germany generally is the country with the highest quality dubs for almost every other department of film and tv.

BROOOO THE WORLD TRIGGER TOURNAMENT ARC IS PEAK. TEAM FIGHTS, CHARACTER DEVELOPMENT, HYPE, SEEING EVERYONES DIFFERENT TECHNIQUES, UNDERDOG STORY, AND EVERYTHING ELSE YOU COULD THINK ABOUT. although its not 1v1 id say its perfect, you should give it a watch (also the fact that world triggers power system is #1 in my opinion). Also, even tho world trigger has one of the LARGEST amount of characters, the author is somehow capable of giving each and every single one of them powers, abilities, and tactics that work perfectly for each team, plus every character has their own personality, motives, goles, relationships ect that just make the show feel alive like no other show ive ever watched. Trust me, you will never watcg a show that makes you care as much about a side side character more than world trigger will.
