I don't really agree with people saying the brackets are ruining their excitement if you watch their review after none of them was salty about it and they did go into the intricacies of the episode
These guys care way too much about their damn brackets. They are so salty that midoriya lost that they aren't appreciating this episode
They always question the sense of things whether or not they have personal stakes in them. For example discussing the robot in Korra or how she became a giant. They would most likely wonder about the legitimacy of the win regardless. And the bracket thing is most likely to get them invested than get them out of it. They also mentio how they liked the episode and question how the finale will stack up so they probably enjoyed it.
My thought is the Brackets should be 1 point for round 1, 2 points for round 2, 3 points for round 3, and 4 points for the final. A side note: The explanation that Bakugo gave for how Quirks work also explains why Uraraka could not continuously use her powers to float her team in the cavalry battle. If I remember correctly that was one of the questions you guys asked during the episode. Now we know why. (You know I really hope they read these or at the very least someone does so he can tell the rest of the group. Just hoping all the explanations/opinions we give, not just for this show but others, don't fall on deaf ears)
They are always 1-2 in advance so it's hard to bring up something that has been relevant in a long time. Also I thing in Gravity girl case there's already the explanation about her getting sick which they probably know now(they mention in a recent reaction I think).
Not wearing a costume during the festival is supposed to keep all the students equal. Only the hero classes (A and B) actually have costumes. Gen, Support, and Business do not. They don't want any of the students to stand out so they can't wear their costumes. Also, the only reason Aoyama could wear his belt was because it helped his quirk. Bakugou doesn't need his grenade's - those only give him more fire power, if he needed them to use his quirk he might have been allowed to use them. Mei mentioned something like this as to why the support students could bring gear that they made.
Endeavor is a piece of crap!!
It's just a bunch of sour grapes from everyone who lost in that bracket. If it was the other way around I'm pretty sure they wouldn't care. Those walls though didn't do a thing. If you watch it and pay close attention Shoto's attack melts hole's in them and Deku, more than likely, was able to punch(or in this case) "palm" through them. Besides Deku was in the air, he had no defense. He was being blasted out of that ring no matter what especially with the force behind that explosion. One last thing: Since their attempt to stop the fight was unsuccessful(though it may very well have saved one if not both their lives), Midnight, the ring announcer/ judge deemed it Shoto's win.
They both have the same Quirk so the edge obviously goes to the one with the higher rank class 1a
Had the ref not interfered, they both could have been killed by the attacks. Besides what would Deku do in the next battle. He is so damaged that recovery girl would not be able to heal him in a single go.
Rhop earning his editing credit yet again
I love how Calvin thinks he is an expert in combat and has broken his fingers. When has Calvin did battle after breaking his fingers. Deku can't do rapid fire shots.
Mad kudos to whoever edits these. The added effects on this and the All Might vs Nomu fight were superb.
imo blindwave brackets kinda overshot the enjoyment of this arc for you guys id just chuck em and just enjoy the story n stuff :P
it does feel that way doesn't it? At least we know who will win in terms of brackets
Dude, Rhop did an awesome edit job! Also, one of the best episodes! Nicely done.
And thats what makes him the worlds greatest hero.
I think you guys missed the point. This episode is one of the best examples of why Midoriya is the best hero. Its because at the end of the day being the best isn't all about power, its about your virtues and the way you conduct yourself as a hero on top of your actual abilities. Midoriya lost because he threw the fight, he cared more about making shoto use his fire, and save him from living a life resentment then he did about actually winning the fight, or becoming the champion.
Agreed. If Deku won without Todoroki using his left it potentially would've ruined Todoroki's development as a character AND Deku growing to be a hero.
also that editor was on point with the fire and ice frames probs to you dam that was good :)
Agreed Rhop did an amazing job. I watched the full length and then watched the YouTube cut, and the frost/fire edits around the edge of the screen were perfect for the feel of the episode. Well done, Rhop!
best episode of season 2 love this episode :)
I think I speak for most of the people waiting for this reaction for weeks that most of the crew except Eric didn’t react in the way we wanted them to. This episode showed us an amazing fight between two fighters and a great message being delivered to one of them. The brackets made them focus too much in the fighting aspect and not the meaningful aspect of the episode.
These comments had me so worried they'd be shitting on the episode, it wasn't that bad. I've watched this show with so many reactors and some of them have had their own disagreements (this is the 3rd time i've heard people blame Cementoss) with how things played out but they've all said, regardless of the results, they enjoyed watching it.
Sure, Izuku lost the competition. But in return, he had Shoto accept himself and become a better person overall. I think it was worth it the trade.
Great episode, not so great reaction.
I hope ur trolling been waiting for this reaction since they started, fight was so epic.
I feel like the brackets have ruined their experience of the tournament
same
Greatest episode of the season has arrived
Why are they SOOO SALTY ! The meaning of this episode is awesome and you're all salty because you lose againt Eric. Good reaction tho.
Its fair in my opinion. The teachers interfering completely demeans the whole point of the tournament. I 100% agree that there should have been a tie breaker. Unfortunately when it comes to writing, they probably had the two finalists and then after that decided how they would get to that point after.
Man, this was such a hype episode that everybody was looking forward too. I thought Eric's reaction/thoughts were spot on and lived up to the hype. Can't say the same for the rest unfortunately. Calvin gets so annoying with his BS explanations that are almost always wrong...The interference had nothing to do with the end result. Todoroki was winning this regardless. Also, Shane adds no value to the discussions (always looks bored/disinterested) and makes empty remarks (calling Shoto's reasons balony...). Eric saved this reaction tbh
Was so looking forward to seeing your reaction to this episode, I'm a little dissapointed you spent most of the time acting salty about the result rather than talking about the real character development that went on here.
The whole point of the walls was to show that not even a pro could stop the power that both of those two coming at each other. They broke through the walls with ease. That's my take of it at least.
the salt is real, shoto froze his feet to the ground so he wouldnt be blown by the aftermath. really deserved by shoto
I am with Shane on this one: SHENANIGANS!
Calvin at it again with his very convincing bullshit
Na man.. don't you know Calvin knows everything? *Eric says reasonable explanation as to why Shoto won* Calvin: "No that can't be right because then id be wrong"
Props to the editor for the border effects :D
Yeah me and Calvin are of alike minds I truly believe those walls interfered with dekus attack since it was more of a piercing thrust I think it could have cut through todorokis attack however as the teachers said would his body have held up probably not which is why I think midoriya could've won I'm ok with him losing to interference in this case considering the circumstances
From how I see it, the explosion from Todoroki's blast would've blown Midoryia out regardless.
Pretty sure most have told you but since you're watching both at the same time and I heard I think Eric comment on the beautiful animation but these guys and ladies are probably my favorites in the business studio bones the same studio responsible for FMAB
Yeah, the brackets have made them go a lil bonkers. Also the salt Calvin has for the ending is real. Cementoss's walls did nothing here, considering what Midoriya did to the floors from the first training exercise, after all. Brackets were a cool idea, but man.. it's really getting em invested in a different way. Still an amazing episode regardless of who won!
Am I rude to say they're a little butthurt?
I liked the bracket idea, but it did kinda make the guys get more upset about the outcome and worried about whether or not it was "fair" because it messed up so many of their brackets lol. They were more worried about the outcome than enjoying the awesome fight!
Or the character development. Even though Midoriya could've won he wanted Todoroki to accept his left side cause that's what a hero should do. I don't buy cementoss's cement blocks did anything to the outcome of the fight honestly, Midoriya was too beat up and did one final attack and it didn't work - simple.
SHOOOTOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!
Great job with the editing, this episode was amazing and the reaction reflected that in every way
They’ve done that with the editing 3 times I believe, and they’ve all been awesome and well placed
The Blast blew Midoryia out of the ring and Im certain Midoryia was done. Also Todaroki looked spent but i still think his head isnt right quite yet and wont be for a while. An abusive parent will mess your head up
You can say that again
No you can actually see midoriya attack break cementos cincrete
These guys really care more about their bracket than the kids hurting themselves. Crazy haha
Support Girl (Mei Hatsume) was allowed to wear her stuff because of two reasons. First, she is a member of the support class, she can't be expected to battle more combat heavy classes like 1-A and 1-B. Second, she built her own gear, unlike Bakugo who designed his stuff but didn't build them. Support Girl mentioned this before but I think you guys talked over it.
Spoiler alert!!! Don't read if you are watching along with Blind Wave!!!! If you watch closely when Deku launches his final attack he very briefly uses OFA correctly (sort of). If you look very closely you can see him protruding green lightning from his arm for about 2 frames before he and Shoto collide with the pillars of cement that Cementos created!
The creator of this series actually cried when he first saw the animation for this scene
The way I see it, since Midnight's gas didn't reach them, only Cementoss's cement slabs were put in the way but it looked to be just in the middle so benefiting neither side, they both hit it very powerfully but Todoroki hit it harder so it knocked Midoriya out fair and square.
Guys the cement did jack shit. It immediately got destroyed and didn’t effect the outcome of the fight, just stopped the kids from dying. This bracket has made you guys more invested in the competition than accepting what’s happening in the show.
I agree that the outcome of the fight probably wasn't affected by the cement, but the teachers still called a winner after they tried to stop the match which feels kinda sketchy. Midorya wouldn't have been able to carry on in the tournament after that fight so Todoroki would have won by default anyway but i understand where the guys are coming from.
After watching season 3 ep 4 i get this?! FCK I JUST SHITED MYSELF AGAIN HAHAHAHAHA
If you go back you can see that Todoroki's blast started from the right and blew through to the center block. Midoriya's punch hit the block on the left and the force blew through to the middle. When both met it created an even bigger explosion. The refs didn't help Todorok win. I don't think it's fair to say he only lost cuz of the refs intervening. I also don't think the author intended it that way either, I'm confident that Todoroki was meant to win this match in a fair way. Also, those fire and ice effects were an awesome touch!
From all the reactions I've seen these 4 guys (especially Calvin) are the only ones who are seemingly butthurt about how Shoto won this match. Deku get's A LOT of shine later so this was well deserved. And yeah the animation was spot on, best fight in the tournament imo.
Calvin’s wrong. The superheating was just a side effect of todoroki aiming his attack. BOTH their attacks got blocked. It was a fair win don’t be salty
They said that they aren't allowed to wear their costumes because it would give them an unfair advantage. ONLY the support class can use gear IF they give a written request in advance. Iida was an exception because it was Mei's gear.
And the support class had to be the ones to make the gear
Best Saturday ever seeing this reaction, watch episode 42 and infinity war later today!
THAT EDITING!
hell yeah
This episode was lit.
THIS and the NEW episode of MHA got me emotionally crying. it's so epic!! God bless you all
That new episode was god tier.

Was thinking the exact sameness thing.
