My Hero Academia 3x23 "Deku vs Kachan" REACTION!

[@Royal_Chief_Architect]

“I don’t ship them but narratively it makes sense” is the nicest thing anyone has ever said to me.

[@yasmin2867]

Darn, I'm so sorry-

[@explody7836]

At the core, the difference between Bakugo and Deku (and the reason All Might gives both of their goals credit) is that they've learned different lessons from All Might. For Deku, All Might is the best because he saves people. For Bakugo, he saves people because he's the best. The emphasis is only slightly different, but they both lead to the same goal -- both of them want to be a hero who never fails.

[@saininj]

Seriously my favorite episode ever. I can't tell you how many times I replayed this episode over and over. I pretty much memorized it.

[@aceofspade2120]

I love when they finally explain everything Bakugo is going through. And how he begins to grow emotionally. He is similar to Endeavour in that he's supremely talented, but doesn't get the emotional side of it all. And as I said before, Deku & Kachan are childhood friends. Bakugo couldn't Express this to anyone else. None of his squad at all. But the exposition is necessary to understand why things happen and why they act a certain way. It's as deep as you look at it. But you gotta dig into it. They don't throw it all in front of us like American tv

[@ZoiYoichi]

Probably in the top 5 MHA eps so far. It had everything and each element was at its best. Animation. Music. Voice acting. Character moments. That moment when the music cuts out and the background goes all black, you just hear n see Deku’s footwork is iconic. 10/10 flawless episode.

[@magortom]

This one and Deku versus Shoto, United States of smash, and probably episode 2 are my very favorites of the series also season 5 episode 24 & 25

[@ZoiYoichi]

@@magortom Deku vs Shoto was what made me fall in love with the show, great EP as well as the others you said. There’s actually a lot of great moments it’s hard to pick a top 5.

[@dablackangel]

This is one of the only episodes I would recommend watching the subbed version... the Japanese actor for Bakugo does an AMAZING job conveying his emotions.

[@poisoned_alchemist_of_life7232]

Heck yes. One of the few I went back and watched in sub too

[@nikolechastre28xd65]

I was just saying Nobuhiko ripped his vocal cords for that shit lol, it would be disrespectful not to watch it in the sub at least once fr

[@dablackangel]

Also... I'm a MASSIVE BakuDeku shipper... so I'm 100% with u 💖

[@jennybe4766]

Same, I'm glad that they said that even though they don't ship them, they can see why it would make sense cus narratively, it really does (especially with where the manga is at right now).

[@theoneguyoverthere]

I’m not, but… ngl, I can see it.

[@nsampone3]

All Might was right when he said they had equal strengths. Deku wants to save everyone, but he’s dumb about it. He dives in, does moves that leaves him weakened/vulnerable, and is too forgiving /not aggressive with villains that should probably be put down permanently. You NEED aggression when dealing with villains. Meanwhile, Bakugo’s desire to win is the type of thing that pushes you to fight smarter. Remember when he told people with minor injuries to take care of themselves in that exam drill? He was correct there. Deku would have wasted his time on them while other things went to sh!t. Bakugo is very much a small Endeavor and you’ll see in the next two seasons how his desire to be the best is a strength in itself. You combine Deku and Bakugo and yeah, you have a great hero.

[@VIRJALEN]

Bakugos ambition to be the strongest really is a good aspiration for a hero to have it’s not like he could help anybody if he was weak. In MHA your reason for being a hero doesn’t really matter as long it pushes you to get the job done.

[@xmant8842]

I love this episode so much. It's in top 6 episodes for me (really, most of my top 10 come from season 3)

[@HelenaSan425]

It's blitza the Jolteon btw

[@marvelbliss]

Well, it's nice to see you guys be a little more receptive to Bakugou now, but as I said in your previous reaction, being a nice guy isn't a requirement to become a successful hero. After all, being a wife beater and a plain all around dick sure didn't prevent Endeavor (who you guys even brought up yourselves) from taking the #2 spot while All Might was still an active hero, so you should definitely give Kacchan a chance! 😉

[@tianaquantussy4997]

Yeah but Endeavor will never be the #1 hero Bc of his troubling very bad personality lol, so Kacchan should make some changes

[@whiteknight8734]

Lol, Kacchan is no less bad than Endeavour. Endeavour was a wife beater but he is all round well -behaved during his hero duties and have the most number of completed Hero cases in history of Japan. (He started after All Might and Surpassed him before All might retired). Bakugo's only excuse is that he was a kid. but he was no less vile of a person than Endeavor even as a kid. The things about Deku and Bakugo's childhood that's been revealed in Manga (i won't spoil them here), Bakugo is literally getting whitewashed in the anime version over an episode by saying he too feels emotion and weak. I have yet to meet a manga reader who has read the whole story and considers Bakugo a redeemed person, let alone a proper hero till the very end of the story. He has so so much more to do before he can be called redeemed.

[@Sheechiibii]

@@whiteknight8734 'Endeavour is a wife beater but...' yeah, Bakugou is less bad than Endeavour. He's not a wife beater and he's not an adult, as you just said. Those things absolutely make him not as bad. He's both done less harm and did it before an age where he's old enough to be considered fully responsible for his actions. Unlike Endeavour.

[@whiteknight8734]

@@Sheechiibii Did you read the manga? If not, please don't argue about some of the things you don't know . You do understand that this complete anime is from Midoriya's point of view right? So parts of the things that you see here aren't really as accurate as you think. Deku is kind and forgiving by nature, so he naturally doesn't think of Bakugo for all the horrible things he had done to Midoriya, also in the anime the skipped most of the bullying part, but more is probably yet to come in next few seasons. I don't wanna spoil it but Bakugo at one point bullied Midoriya so much as far as telling Midoriya to kill himself because he was a quirkless loser and Midoriay did think of suicide. I don't give af about Bakugo being a kid or "having trouble expressing his feelings' , under no circumstances bullying your fellow classmate is okay, definitely not to that level that he thinks that killing himself would be better than living. Being a kid can't be an excuse for bullying others in the worst kind of ways. everyone had a childhood and most people don't bully others as a kid. and he has done less harm? so you actually believe , than mentally and physically tormenting a kid is less damaging than doing the same thing to an adult? I actually wonder how old you are to be honest cause your logic is not as mature you would like to think they are

[@Sheechiibii]

@@whiteknight8734 I guess you're forgetting about the existance of Endeavour's children. Yes, an adult being physically and emotionally abusive to an adult and children is worse than a child being physically and emotionally abusive to another child. I don't see how you can possibly argue otherwise. Everything you are saying about Bakugou applies even moreso to Endeavour, who as I said has done worse without the excuse of being a child. Which is why legally what Endeavour did would be punished far more severely.

[@willfanofmanyii3751]

Bakugo: "All Might is always the winner!" "Even with All Might's power, you somehow managed to lose... WHY?" Bakugo literally isn't putting Midoriya down, pay attention.

[@Causeimtheflash]

I don’t agree with all the people saying you guys don’t understand Bakugo’s character. I think you’re allowed to criticize someone while understanding where they’re coming from. Not everyone likes characters like him anyways and I like seeing different points of view. Just bc they don’t stan him like you do doesn’t mean they’re bad reactors. Bakugo is an asshole and doesn’t know how to deal with emotions properly, they’re right about that. Yes he’s not a one note caricature but he is a jerk, nothing he says or does will change that. I was constantly frustrated with him too at this point in the show

[@xXFoiXx]

He shouldn't have to change. It is Deku who is annoying and whiny and deserves all the hatred he gets from Bakugo. And as this episode points out it is Deku who always follows bakugo. Bakugo has every right to not want this shitty person around him.

[@Causeimtheflash]

@@xXFoiXx damn who hurt you 💀💀

[@HelenaSan425]

@@xXFoiXx you sound so depressing it makes me laugh ho sad of you 🤣

[@jayroc62]

Been looking forward to this reaction for a while 😂🙌

[@MPW2012]

Deku didn't say Bakugo was his hero. He said All might was his hero but Bakugo was the one in his life.

[@spacekid2608]

yeah he did say that, kinda. he said bakugo was the hero in deku's life, but all might was his hero 'out' of his life before he knew all might personally.

[@Blackdeath607]

You Guys keep hating a kid, wtf

[@vevesumi]

and now here is when bakugo's redemption arc starts

[@whiteknight8734]

Redemption only begins when a person understands his faults to begin with. People have such a biased opinion about this show's redemption arcs. Bakugo is far far away from being redeemed. He has only started to seen himself for who he is and toned down his ego. Real redemption will only start when he starts reflecting on all the horrible things he did to Deku during their childhood and change himself.

[@yagirl2124]

JUST came across a video of yall reacting to the first ep and clicked on your channel to see your LAST video is the reaction to my FAVORITE EPISODE IN THE ENTIRE SERIES

[@jaysenstoudt7610]

My biggest issue with MHA anime is that they drag through the slow moments, then speed through the big moments. At least in the manga, they both get the same timeframes more or less.

[@Sheechiibii]

I have to dissagree about Bakugou's mum, in the few minutes we saw her she acted like episode 1 Bakugou, emotionally and physically abusive. If she didn't seem like an @sshole then how can Bakugou? She raised him this way, he's just like her for a reason. If that's just a 'big personality' then that's all Bakugou has too.

[@TVGameControl]

Yea everybody love talking shit bout bakugo til this episode lmfaooooo put some respect on my dawg name this is more than deku settling a little boys tantrum, this is a duel between young men in order to recognize real. Y’all should watch yu yu hakusho and get the expert Kazuma Kuwabara’s take on manliness lmaooo but naw on some real ass shit this episode was manly as fuck, like you don’t know what it means to niggas to see these niggas fight, it’s like sasuke said two niggas so strong that they can tell each other’s feelings without saying a word and just by the blow of they fists

[@evolutionxbox]

Quick question: where does the channel name come from?

[@Kaempfdog]

Just to make a few things clear. Deku and Bakugo are essentially brothers. They don’t like each other and they aren’t friends, but they have a long history neither can really abandon because Deku wants to surpass Bakugo. More so than he wants to surpass All-Might. They are now officially rivals and not a bully and victim. They still aren’t friends and Bakugo honestly STILL didn’t accept anything about Deku as a person during this fight. But he does accept All-Might’s decision and respects the power he has. And since he wants to surpass All-Might he has to keep himself ahead of Deku who is guaranteed to surpass him one day as the new holder. You can’t be rivals without mutual respect. And although Bakugo still respects next to nothing about Deku himself at this point, it’s still enough to qualify. And Bakugo LOVES to compete and show he’s the best so honestly Deku is a good person to compete against. Is it healthy? No it’s still toxic. But it’s SEVERAL notches up from the early seasons. They can one day make it to ground zero and not WELL beneath it. And that’ll be when they’re friends. Dating? No. Leave Uraraka for Deku. She’s too good for Deku to go with someone that doesn’t have the capability for a relationship like that.

[@stefastefabn8800]

Vikings reaction plsssss Best show ever trust me!!!⚔️⚔️

[@Liesmith424]

It wouldn't make sense for them to date because Deku clearly has a thing for Uraraka, and Bakugo clearly has a thing for Bakugo.

[@katchkartoons]

Only Uraraka's feelings have been confirmed, and Bakugo can love and does love more than just himself.

[@xelectrix]

Season 4 is my fav. I'm excited

[@tofu_golem]

You're about to meet Le Million, one of the best characters in the series.

You guys should watch the movies

You guys will never understand bakugo or endevours developments

[@graysteel]

Bakugous character went from shit to barely ok after this episode. It’s a awful conclusion, especially since people favourite part of the episode doesn’t even make sense.

[@carlli254]

@@graysteel disagree he went from shit to favourite character in season 2

[@graysteel]

I think they understand how bad of a character he is better than any reactor does really.

[@xXFoiXx]

@@graysteel If Bakugo is bad then how bad is the rest of the cast considering they always lose against him in popularity?

[@graysteel]

@@xXFoiXxThe same reason people like any anime character while others don’t. That’s a dumbass question. People don’t care about the actual depth of a character. Plus, Bakugou was always ranked highest in popularity poles, so people literally liked him just because of his quirk, the fights he’s apart of, and people who relate to being him.

[@dark1stknight555]

yeah anime pacing sometimes comes from the manga itself since its mostly where these types of anime start sometimes its because they catch up to the manga and make their own filler and sometimes the manga itself has some filler

[@haha-lj5sq]

If it’s in the manga it’s not filler.

[@moonl8536]

Fire reaction 🙌🔥 As always & this what we call Rivals , this what a lot of Man rivalry go thorough . It looked as relationship which don’t make sense they just bonding with fist , Nondays is toxic in the anime community I’ve learned lol 😂🤦‍♂️

[@anime-kun9231]

6:00 😂😂 so your that kind of mha fan the kind we despise the most

[@theoneguyoverthere]

So ultimately, Bakugo’s real nemesis is toxic masculinity.

[@blackprotagonist]

another reason Kirishima’s good for him lol. He’s got his own brand of manliness going on

[@xXFoiXx]

There is a reason bakugo is by far the most popular character winning everything by a landslide. This episode confirms this story would've been better had deku ended himself and followed Bakugo's advice in episode 1.

You lost me with the second sentence. What the actual fuck lmao

[@jaycienlovelace3123]

You need to chill☠

[@xXFoiXx]

@@thedapperpotato427 My man there is a reason the character who is solely defined by hating Deku and told him to end his life is the most popular character. If people could vote for Deku to kill himself they would. Which is kinda what they do every popularity poll.
