Anyway, as far as the other party goes, I actually find it a nice touch that Todoroki is still full of self-doubt, despite everything Deku told him during their match. In a typical shounen, it's not uncommon for characters to have their personal demons dealt with right then and there once they confront them. Yet in this case, Icyhot is still troubled about using his fire powers, which I find a tad more realistic (at least, as realistic as a series like this can get anyway). Needless to say, I look forward to his future development. |

Another thing that I liked is that it brings up a different side of something most shounen get called out on: the difference that someone's mental state can make in their performance. Most shounen bring up the positive sides of this, interesting to see the negative side for a change.

I don't feel that bad for him, he still got the win. Other people got a lot less than that.
Not too surprised Todoroki lost. He might have been more even if he'd just stuck to the ice since using that fire was pretty complicated emotionally.

I get that it's more realistic that Todoroki's problems aren't fixed instantly like magic (as we see in many shounen) but it kinda sucks for Deku, who completely wrecked his hands and lost the match, yet there was little pay off. For now at least.

I gotta see the series has been proving itself very well in terms of how characters handle their various issues and each other. Ok yeah I still don't really like Bakugou and I personally can call anyone "interesting" but I'm still invested in their problems and want to see them succeed in the future. It's handling this well worn story very well. I assume next chapter we're going to hear from Stain or something, but I also wonder if we'll see the upperclassmen of the heroics dept? Maybe it's too soon for that but since this phase of the festival is basically over...

Also we need the close ups on Bakugou's raging face, that boy so mad I think he might be the spiritual son of One Piece's Doflamingo |

Wow, there is just too many contents in one chapter....Bleach should learn few tips from Bokuhero.
Also, this is the first time I see a winner of the tournament got chained like a criminal. Quite refreshing in my opinion. And it took Deku long enough to realized that he needs to use his power wisely instead of kamikaze every 3 seconds. |
