Alright and it's episode 29 this week, "UA Students vs. Hero Killer Stain," or possibly the reverse of that, adapting chapters 51 and 52 with 53 from volume 6 of the original source manga. Yes, the fight with Hero Killer Stain has at last begun in earnest! And while that appropriately remains the focus I should first give a quick shout out to badass Gran Torino fighting that Nomu.
And I enjoyed his interactions with the bemused Endeavor. But if Endeavor is on the scene then...well anyway, while Deku rushes to reach Iida the emotionally unstable youth gets taken down pretty easily by Stain. I loved Stain's mini-lecture about Iida's blind rage and lack of heroism. Failing to notice an obvious rescue opportunity.
But just as despair begins to set-in it's Young Midoriya on the scene with a clean hit!
Now Deku's got his hero priorities straight. Something Stain somewhat humorously realizes.
Deku showed off some impressive movements in their brief tussle, but it wasn't enough. And he too falls prey to Stain's strange, paralyzing blade. Not all is lost however as Young Todoroki has arrived! Can the three now work together to take down Stain? What will Young Iida do?
