That final battle was intense and a solid way to end the arc. But lmfao, Bakugo was hilarious! The wholesome aftermath was a nice touch, though it’s obvious another conflict is starting to build. Really intriguing.

A great conclusion to the Sports Festival—well, maybe not for Bakugo. Lmfao. As much as I understand him, he’s still ridiculous. I loved this episode, especially the aftermath, which felt wholesome yet tense as a new arc begins to unfold.

The internal struggle for Todoroki makes the fight feel somber while Bakugo is pure rage. The animation for the final exchange is explosive and high budget.

Honor is fought for by the finest of the best! Bakugo vs. Todoroki demonstrates the festival's greatest power. It's amazing to witness this level of competition, when demonstrating your actual strength is just as important as winning. An incredible, high-stakes conflict of wills!
