Worst thing about the adaptation:





they removed the symbolism of the chair, which divided deku from his mom, and what she said and what he wanted to hear

7/10

I had the opposite reaction. I felt Bakugou's, uh, antics, were played up for a more comedic effect than in the manga.

I love how pretty much 90% of all scenes in the show are accompanied by a swelling orchestra.

'Cus then you can't have cool battle damage.

Also, Iida kept his mask on the entire time!

One of the prevailing themes - in fact, the very first one presented in the show - is how society forms the individual and how this can have positive and negative effects on people. Bakugou is clearly a large part of that. He's an rear end in a top hat, but it's also super easy to see why he's an rear end in a top hat and understand that, but still condemn him for being an rear end in a top hat.

Bakugowns. I love him. His action scenes are cool. I don't see how you can see it as torture porn when every single time (so far) Deku manages to outshine him and be the better person, set to a soaring heroic chorus.

Bakugou is a character who changes one pebble at a time.

Dude's a bomb waiting to explode in everyone's face and nobody, neither his classmates nor the faculty, seems to care about fixing that issue before it explodes.

Because this is the first time UA actually sees that. He's been abrasive and rude, but this is the first time his attitude really comes to light for everyone. He has also displayed several heroic characteristics found in All Might himself: he is confident, self-assured, someone the people can look up to and declare their savior.

Deku is selfless and heroic, yes, but All Might is also so much more than that. All Might is, to the general populace, someone who is incredibly cocky and self-assured, someone who never shows a hint of fear, someone who absolutely dominates every battle without so much as a sweat. Neither Deku or Bakugou are All Might, but together they form something very close to him. And they're both still children with room to grow.

Also, several classmates in this very episode told All Might to call the fight off because of Bakugou so I doubly don't see this.

Yeah, I really appreciate how expressive they made Hagakure compared to the manga

I thoroughly enjoy well written characters who are assholes. They're so much fun and they usually keep up the pace and get things done, arrogantly sneering all the way and beating down the underprivileged for a (maybe) good reason.

As a manga reader, I had no problem with the pacing in this episode. You're weird.

Also episode was really good.
