| Woof, woof police chef killed me. I wonder if he licks his own balls and sniffing another people butts. Huehuehe :) New bad guys appears. Nice! |
| "The future is always blank. Only your willpower can leave footsteps there." "Ruling over death means ruling over life. Death is the climax of life. To have the best death, you must honor life." |
| I'm really excited for the next episode. The preview is really appealing considering it's an anime only episode....and we'll see Frog girl <3 |
 |
| that ringtone :D I had to replay that one 3 times. Cant get enough. Maybe I lack some empathy but when they suddenly had that serious "oh no I took an arrow to the left arm!" moment I was like - what?! His skill comes from his legs. He wants to be a hero - while its certainly not nice to have long time injuries, why is it important when he only needs his legs for this job. He is not even left handed I believe. So whats the big deal. Midoriya hat serious injuries during the tournament without even capturing a dangerous killer. Thats bad. And on top of that he can even get an OP to heal his arm. So whats the deal. Nice to see ideology playing a big role. usually kids in shonen can lay waste to entire citys and they are heros, but here they acted outisde the law (even when I think self defense would cover them, after all he let them no choice when they wanted to run away.) and have to deal with that. |
| "This emotion is mine alone. It is for Madoka alone." - Homura or how I would descripe Mahou Shoujo Madoka Magica. |
| Like-able episode for me. First part, It was good to see those guys defend their pride especially Todoroki. The chief was really nice because he really cares on what's happening. Second part, A nice with slight serious conversation with both Midoriya and his group, and some serious call from Gran Torino to All Might. Uraraka still on training. lel. Last part, About Stain huh, It was okay I understand a little, and everyone in the league of villain are interested in him in different way. Anyway. Next episode will about the new characters. A little interested. *Already read the manga. so no spoiling allow. *First time to do this long. |
| wow ..stain had this much of an effect I did not see that coming...hmmm awesome episode |
 |
| I was really hoping for better dog puns from the chief of police, but the episode was really good. The soundtracks during the intense conversations were on point. |
| I wonder who the next victim of The Hand Crusher will be lmao. Ah and I was hoping for more of Himiko-chan, damn it!! |

xskitzox said: I think the whole "punishment" scene made no sense. I guess if they want to cover up who captured stain because they are minors that would be fine, but to say their quirks were misused because the villain had injuries, that's just dumb. He was in the middle of killing someone, obviously he wasn't going to stop killing that person by someone using harsh language. Does that mean that no villain is allowed to be injured even if they are in the process of killing and refuse to stop? Stain was arrested but he was walking with the police, while some of the heroes left on stretchers, seems like his injuries weren't as bad. Who would be willing to become a hero if the villain is able to kill or severely injure you, but if while you defend yourself or others you happen to injure the villain you get punished. Holding heroes to a higher standard is just a matter of investigating, was the amount of force used justifiable? If yes then no punishment. Clearly in this scenario where someone is being killed the amount of force used was justifiable. They aren't heroes though, that's the problem. They are highschool students who do not have hero licenses, hence they do not have the freedom to harm someone with their quirk without permission from a superior. |

| Loved the ep got to learn a lot more about Stain and whats going on with the villains. The love the character design of the guy with the stitches. |
| THE POWER OF...CHARISMAAAAA!! Dio Brando had it, and so do All Might & Stain. Now I understand why everyone loves the Stain arc so much- it's practically the first major turning point in the story since Stain's appearance and defeat have given him so much exposure. He's pretty much the poster boy for the down and outs, the people that can't fit into- or don't want to be part of- wider society. Also gotta give props to MHA for its realistic use of social media- it makes the story feel like it's happening now in modern society, and not in some AU of Japan or some nameless fantasy land in the middle of nowhere; right from the more obvious propaganda videos of Stain on the internet to the advert Momo was in. It put a smile on my face! Looks like Stain's defeat is drawing in all the crazies though, and hopefully we get introduced to some interesting villains since imo that's been the weakest part of MHA so far. But I can forgive that since this is a long-runner and it's been concentrating on building the main characters before anything else. Also, All For One is a person as well as the name of All Might's Quirk?? Who is it, his evil twin or something?? It's gotta be something linked to his ability though which definitely raises some questions... Next episode seems to be the calm before the storm. Looking forward to seeing what all the other U.A kids got up to! |

Looking forward to seeing what all the other U.A kids got up to! Seriously get your reading comprehension up, all of you. All Might's quirk name is ONE FOR ALL (As in One stands for All, selflessness), the person who seems to be behind the Villain League is called (or is referred to as in his quirk) ALL FOR ONE (as in Everything for One, the opposite of what All Might is). They are probably friends from the past at one point where one gone full evil and the other is All Might. This is a saying they have divided in two. I'm sorry, I didn't realise I was taking a specialised comprehensive class on titles and syntax on this MAL forum lmao I think everyone who watches/reads MHA knows what All Might symbolises by now, however, since his Quirk's name is one half of a two part phrase, it's pretty easy to slip up now and again. Anyway, at this point, all I'm sure of is that All For One's Quirk has gotta be something to do with stealing other people's Quirks. |

You'd think in a society full of mutant powers, the Good Samaritan Law would receive plenty of adjustments and emphasize that it's made possible to save someone from villains' attack. I mean it's just non sensible otherwise. In such a volatile and unpredictable society, following every rule to the letter would be near impossible and each incident should be looked on a case-to-case basis. |
 |
| Good wrap up and transition episode. So strange how anyone could be born with a dog head as their quirk. How would that work genetically, very strange. |
 |
| Endeavor got all/most of the credit for defeating Stain. That detective is a dog xD ´ A quick preview of some enemies... The Union of Villains will get so much stronger... When this ends, manga here i com. |
"There is no such thing as an Anime elitist. You watch Anime, therefore, you are trash by society's standards." |
| Nice wrap up of the Stain arc, and I'm looking forward to see next week's episode because it will show what the other UA students were doing. I also liked the part in the episode that showed Momo filming a commercial for hair spray |
Daniel_Naumov said: That is precisely why they are real heroes, and the real world ones are the best we could get to. They follow the rules thoroughly, not giving in to temptation or anything. Not making even villains suffer, this is heroism. Did Stain really suffer though? I mean it's a world where people have super powers that could potentially go bad anytime anywhere. Sure we don't necessarily need to kill the bad guys but helping someone else from a certain death seems like a perfectly legit reason to use your quirk, licensed hero or not. To compare it to our world, you don't need to be a police to stop an attempted robbery or if you save someone from being killed/raped. A bodily injury is inevitable in situations like that and I figure there would literally be tons of that kind of situation in a society where heroes and villains are clearly distinct. It just feels awfully unfair and stiff that there was even a possibility for the UA students to get punished for saving Native's life, especially considering that they did attempt to alert the pro heroes while trying to stall Stain. It just so happened they managed to beat him before the pros arrived. |

| Ugh this show just keeps getting better and better. I feel really bad for Iida, I hope his arm will heal soon. I love the friendship developing between Iida, Deku, and Todoroki. Todoroki, you so kawaii bastard! I missed my best girls Uraraka and Asui so much. Ugh. Woof. |

| Guess that Todoroki found himself a good nickname now. XD |
| Great episode as always. Loved the part where the dog inspector lets the boys of the hook. The OST was really emotional. Also really glad to see that everyone's keeping up their spirits after this encounter. Stain may have been defeated but his ideology will not be forgotten and the world is surely gonna change. Whether this ordeal of using Stain as a stepping stone to facilitate the growth of the League of Villains was part of a Master plan is something worth considering. We got our first tease of All for One with an ominous conversation between All Might and Grab Torino. That All Might ringtone and Todoroki's joke was epic. XD I love how Bones gaves us cameos for some of the characters we'll see in the future. Always a pleasure to see Bakugou in his internship. xD Anime Original episode next eh? I have faith Bones will make a fun filler. :) |

ironace said: Yes, exactly. And hence BnHA's potential keeps on growing.believe it or not, this story is as much about deku becoming a hero as it is about shigaraki becoming a proper villain. He is not a proper bad guy because he is growing. Also, during stain and shigaraki's conversation, it became apparant that shigaraki was a noob bad guy who didnt even have a clear goal.He didnt like stain and wanted to kill him. But the outcome was unexpected but he took advantage of it.shigaraki took stain's creed or goal and used it for himself and recruited people. In a way, he also has grown-though its not as apparant as most character development. Seigen said: Hahaha highlight of the episode! (Plus the foreshadowing to whatever the story behind one for all is!)"The Hand Crusher" damn it he was so serious too :D A phone call... is here! A phone call... is here! LMAO. [quote=HavocParker message=51821289 Horikoshi (the mangaka) has written a bit more detailed explanation about "Quirk Usage Law" in the manga volume 9 extras. I don't think this counts as a spoiler, so for those who are interested, here's the page: http://i.imgur.com/1xN4LZd.png[/quote] I love how Horikoshi tries explaining everything. It makes everything much more believable. Thanks for the share! Also, endeavor's expression in his picture in the newspaper was hilarious - like he knew he was being credited with the efforts of children xD |

GoldenDevilGamer said: GangsterCat said: Episode 19 will be filler, Episode 20 will cover the rest of the Stain arc, then Episode 21-25 will be the next arc.so episode 19-25 is going to be garbage filler? It was probably made because Tsyu-chan is a fan favourite with barely any screen time in the manga. BTW the 1st episode of FMA:Brotherhood is filler with an anime original character yet over 900,000 people on MAL watched that filler episode including you. So jokes on you @GangsterCat XD |
| HACKs! 🤢🤮 |
| Stain has been defeated, but it seems new villains will be rising up to the challenge shortly following his example, things will just get worse in the future. Meanwhile the other students are... just kind of doing whatever... and will be doing whatever next episode AND I LOOK FORWARD TO THAT as well as to finally seeing Himiko Toga in action, I've seen a lot of fan art and stuff of her and want to know more about her. |
A Wild and Small Otaku has Appeared! |
| The Marathon was..... worthed it. Bones did the job very well. Marathon from S1 and stopped at Stain arc's end. Pretty sweet. Pffttt, 'You can't kill people (read : villain) just because she/he kills people' dat cliche still lives on, eh? Ah right, this anime is about hero after all, and in the end those 3 being set free, even still... sigh !@F#$C%K^DA&P*O@#L$%I^&C*E Best thing in eps 18. Todoroki : Hand Crusher. Cool All Might phone's ringtone, he's genius or wut? lel. |
| Awesome wrap-up.. now, MORE FROPPY! |

But I can forgive that since this is a long-runner and it's been concentrating on building the main characters before anything else. Well with Stain they definitly did a great job without a doubth one of the most interesting villains (or antagonist in this case?) ive seen in a while, a great add to the series in general and would be great to have him in the story later on again, i suppose you are talking about the lack of some villain figures apart of Shigaraki and bunch of Nomus? because if is thatthen yeah he have been pretty lonely in that aspect, but without a doubt more interesting people will join it and fill more the villain side of the story. Yeah, well I wasn't I huge fan of Shigaraki anyway, and I'm still not. He's pretty standard so far as far as shounen antagonists go. Pretty sure we can count Endeavour as an antagonist at this point (despite him ironically being a hero), so I'd put Stain just below him in terms of being an interesting antagonist. It's just nice to know that Horikoshi can actually write great villains, so I look forward to more in the future! |

| Even with no action this episode is still awesome! the media got a glimpse of Shigaraki & Kurogiri above the watertank Chief police is a friggin dog! bwahahaha funny hell! and he giving a lecture to the young heroes. But as long it won't be public, there would be no punishment! lolz...Todoroki got pissed-off to INU! Bakugo is still stuck with those tight jeans! hahahah! bwahah! very funny Deku! talking on the phone with a girl is amazing huh! you doutei! nyahaha! looks like Iida would be temporarily handicapped! lol those 2 made fun of Todoroki about making jokes! This is the most hilarious part! the ringtone of All Might! LOL all might is all troubled talking with Gran Torino again! The League of Villains is near! The hypeness is here!!! The ant concept is quite nice! What did Gran Torino mean by All For One? the inverse of One For All!?!?!? Oh My God! so many new character villains!!! 5/5. |
 |
| This show is getting even more interesting.. All for One? But I wonder how the students will keep getting themselves involved with real villains. I'm looking forward to learning more about some of the new villains we saw, especially the crazy-looking girl and the guy with the stitches on his face. But first, it looks like Tsuyu will finally get more screen time :) |
G_Spark233 said: Another great episodes. Too bad that Stain got arrested so quickly after his introduction but I really like how he left a pretty big impact on the series. Those last few minutes gave me chills! I can't wait to see her again.  I wish this series had more major female villains. Since Himiko is suppose to be the Harley Quinn of My Hero Academia, why not have the Poison Ivy, Talia al Ghul, and Catwoman versions too. |

I mean it's just non sensible otherwise. In such a volatile and unpredictable society, following every rule to the letter would be near impossible and each incident should be looked on a case-to-case basis. To preface, I agree with you. I think that if they encountered The Hero Killer in the process of killing someone, they should be allowed to do whatever is necessary-- up to and including killing him themselves. It shouldn't matter whether they are licensed or not, even if it would be more messy for the police to deal with. Still, narrative-wise I think this could potentially serve a good purpose: It gives additional legitimacy to Stain's point and worldview. The methods he was using to try to bring about his goals were reprehensible, evil, and unquestionably wrong, but his claim that the society in Hero Academia's setting has forgotten what actual heroism is may not be. Quirk usage is overregulated; heroes are called such despite often doing what they do for wholly selfish reasons; and actual acts of heroism aren't even necessarily recognized, as in this episode. What makes it interesting is that he still holds All Might as the ideal, much like the general public. All Might is the only person he views as "worthy" of stopping him, as such. This makes his ideology potentially more sympathetic to the setting's people despite its extremely dangerous/evil nature. |
| The police inspector was cool and his "guau"!!! xD |
| Well, I'm finally almost caught up... didn't take very long though this show is easy to watch a ton in one sitting lol. Love the villains especially Shigaraki and excited to see a glimpse of new ones. But one more episode and I'll have to wait every week for a new one :( Fun watch though, hospital scene was tense but I'm glad the kids realize they made the right decision. |
| Great episode. Despite Stain being detained, his influence is as strong as ever. He's compelling because his ideology makes you feel conflicted. Can't wait to see the Tsuyu episode! |
| Makes sense why some people would be attracted to Stain's ideology. Dude's got a point. These villains now have a sense of purpose and guiding principle and not just spreading fear and destruction. Interesting. Also "All for One"? hmm.. |
