Did Bakigo miss the shot because the other heroes were trying to save him?

The best episode of the season, the result of the animation, the soundtrack and the voice actors, all together they did an excellent job to give us this good episode that made me cry.

I wonder why he died. I guess that last moment was his best? I do not know. Because I thought he was about to have his glow up so he could stand next to Deku, but... I guess he is that weak. Fucking Tomiko. Only if Deku was with him

I doubt hes dead but this was still a really strong ep and probably the most ive enjoyed one since like season 3 when the series dropped off in quality.

His heart stopped he is dead
Sure his heart stopped but remember he can combust, he just needs to restart his heart and I'm sure there's a Deus Ex Machina with his powers that will revive him.

It’s weird, when reading this part I did not buy Bakugo dying one bit but watching this I feel like I 100% would’ve if I were anime-only. I guess that’s how you know it’s a good adaptation.

You will be missed

.

Huh, so the "BIG THREE" were actually friends from quite a while ago. And they helped push and improved each other to become stronger.

But their combined power still isn't strong enough to beat FingersButHole

And Baku attempt one last time after he learned to read some of the dude's movements, however Baku doesn't have the firepower like the other top guys... and.. WELP...

Baku's firepower is one of the strongest, but that's in comparison to the other students, compared to say... Endeavor... Baku's probably only about half power.

.

I am going to bet Deku's going to go crazy when he found out Deku's dead

Also... All-For-One using the Quirk-rewind potion to recover... that's cheating dude, I wonder if this also restores his "powers" back... the "real A41" that he gave to FingersDude, and the ones destroyed by NewOrder...

@IzanaSolos BRO, I DIDNT READ THE MANGA cause I'm watching this with someone... THEY KILLED HIM D:

Holy hell, I didn't know he DIES, I thought I got hit by a rock or something, like the world was pulling a prank on me. He had some great progression, I don't think he stays dead and if he does, BRO THE FUNERAL IS GOING TO BE SUUUUUUUUPER SAD OMG

I remember when the manga reached this part, and at the time I wasn't a manga reader but I was active in the fandom. So I just see people spoiling 'BAKUGO DIES!?' and I'm just like WHAT? Haha, no way, it's probably that [moment he took that hit for Izuku that I can't remember when] again. And then it wasn't. And it looked so realistic (i was convinced it wasn't actually in the manga but fanmade😭) and I'm just still here in denial like haha what? What? Keep in mind this is someone suddenly getting a major spoiler without any context. I didn't know how it happened, just that boom he was gone. Then I read the manga lol which was still a shock then cause I somehow forgot I even saw it.

There's no feasible way to save Bakugou that I won't call bullshit on. And I'm calling the bullshit right now because there's no way this show would kill off a major character without giving them a big W moment first.

This was an amazing episode. The only part I didn’t like was Bakugo’s sacrifice because we just had a fake out death for him last season, so it is hard to believe he is actually dead now. (8/10)

Bruh, Deku is taking ages to reach his friends. Just like Goku in DBZ.

But seriously, what a great freaking episode. So good it almost made me tolerate the fact of how stupidly overpowered Shigaraki currently is.
Tamaki's plasma cannon sequence looked fantastic and I absolutely loved all of Bakugou's scenes. Dude's character development over the last few seasons has been simply amazing.

I got spoiled on Bakugou's "death" a few weeks after the manga chapter dropped so the last snapshot didn't surprise me at all, but wow I didn't expect the anime to hit that part of the chapter already. A good episode, definitely the best one this season so far. Although that's a pretty low bar for me tbh, I'm still really annoyed by this episode as a whole because why and how the FUCK is Shigaraki not dead yet?!? I mean, I know One For All is the only one that could defeat him, but still, watching Shigaraki get blasted with a bunch of beams and watching him regenerate again and again and the good guys getting shocked faces again and again at him surviving the blasts is extremely repetitive and frustrating to see.

Anyways, I really don't believe Bakugou is truly dead, for multiple reasons, but I'll give my kudos to the author later if he actually had the balls to kill him. I surprised myself by being so close to tearing up when it showed the scene with Bakugou wanting an autograph from All Might. I always have such mixed feelings about Bakugou. He's definitely the most interesting MHA character for me by far. Like, when the episode focuses on him, he really shines. I love the second and third seasons of MHA because of him. But otherwise, in scenes when he's a background character, he really annoys me with all his yelling and screaming. Well, I digress - too bad there's no new episode next week, what a cliffhanger to end on...but I'm definitely looking forward to the next episode now.

Bakugo may be out, but the Big 3 are still as relevant as ever, now with Lemillion's return to fight against Shigaraki. Still, while his physicals may have given out, his spirit still lingers being one of admonishment. And try his best for Lemillion to stall time while Best Jeanist covers Bakugo for both Hagure and Tamiki to initiate their attacks, they're not called the Big 3 for nothing, at least not for this moment to extradite their powers to the max.

Even when Bakugo knew he could not stack up against Izuku when it comes to facing Shigaraki, he tries his best with his new Cluster move once more, that Shigaraki saw him as an All For One equal, even as an extra whom like Izuku, also admired All Might the same way. And as the Light Fades To Rain, it's apparent that there's no saving Bakugo at all...he's truly dead.

Bakugo died not once, but twice, this being a rather brutal way to go out.

A fight to the death between Bokugo and Shigaraki. The Heroes cannot get a break but seems the body of Shigaraki not fully melded together so this can be a weakness in the future. Bokugo fights on despite suffering heavy injury. Rain falls as Bokugo seemingly lifeless body lie on the ground with the Heroes watching on. Shigarakai has landed a punch right on his heart. Will Bokugo survives?

This ep was one of the top 3 eps of whole mha for me, I seriously gave up on mha a long time ago and was just watching it for the sake of being up-to-date but this single ep changed my mind for the second time i cried while watching an mha ep the amount of emotions this ep holds is unbelievable,, I didn't like bakugo as a character i still don't but he is a hero afterall and he knows what should be done to win the battle even if he has to sacrifice his life ... and he now's knows the hardships that deku went through all this time to be a hero so he does the same .... and also loved to see the old gang back with lemillion.

I bet like 100000$ that Bakugo isn't dead "permanently". I watched too many animes and can smell that "shit" from mile. ;P

any second with shigaraki or afo on the screen = me getting disgusted and wanting to turn off the screen lol
seriously, gotta love how this piece of shit is so strong that he can get hit by thousands of attacks and just keep going like nothing happens, yay amazing

anyway, rip bakugo? i remember people going online sharing this picture when it was in the manga, so i was already expecting it to happen sometime, but it's not like i knew when, so it still hurts to see (and i bet it will be even more painful when deku appears, oh god)

small Hado was pretty cute, but no matter how curious and friendly she was, people got mad at her and made her turn into a quiet person, until her 2 best friends joined her, that was a very nice scene

also, looking at the preview.......... it seems like todooki's fight is actually not over yet?

This episode was so damn good. But it also made me finally understand why MHA sucks in general now: Nobody is allowed to achieve anything but deku.

What exactly would you like them to achieve facing basically a god? Are you new to shounen genre? It always was about main character and it will always be. Others are there to enhance the story, push MC forward, support him but they will never be at his level. There are exceptions but they only prove the rule. I'd say MHA still does a better job than most other series trying to keep side characters as relevant as possible even when we are in "peak power" arc where things go completely out of whack and MC and his archnemesis reach levels unobtainable to anybody else.

"MHA sucks in general now" - we knew from chapter 1 that nobody (except for one person) can stand against All for One. I swear people are delusional or the series makes really good job at giving people a slivers of hope that other heroes can achieve anything against him. How many times Tomura has to explain they stand no chance against him because his power is comparable to All Might at his peak? He said it like 3 times this episode alone and some people still not get it, when it's all laid out in front of their eyes.
@Thaeril My profile is public. You can see what shows I have watched.

If you dont want side characters to do anything, then you dont need to give them hype up moments. Big 3, Bakugo.. all achieve nothing. Shigaraki does not even want to leave, he wants to wait for Deku.

MHA has some really good parts, but its biggest strength is easily its big and interesting cast. Deku is actually lame. Shigaraki is lame. And the story focuses way too much on them.

A character saying something generally does not make the plot less shit. Simply dont give the least interesting character bullshit powerups.

Similar to the previous episode. It was executed well, but I never really cared for Bakugo or Shigaraki as characters so it left me a bit cold. I just always found Bakugo an obnoxious, loud, grating character. The little All Might fanboy moment was nice, but kind of too little too late. We could've used more of that earlier.

I mean, I assume he's dead. Otherwise Jeanist's reaction would end up feeling kind of cheap.

Accidentally watched the preview instead of skipping it, kind of regret that because next episode looks pretty good and may redeem one of the most disappointing moments of the season. Can't wait.
