EARLY ACCESS MHA Season 2 Episode 15 Reaction

Im guessing they will stay unavailable since you wrote this 3 years ago. I was really hoping they would at least upload the full reaction I really wanted to see their reaction to these.

Stories thru art

I want to watch this episode and others so bad that I became a patreon, I was wondering if you guys could fix it? Or upload it somewhere else?

Bayan M

I really want to watch this reaction as well as the ones for episode 16-19 but its no longer available. I wonder if you plan to fix this or if they will just stay unavailable??

Or maybe these "many others", and yourself, are more obtuse than you personally believe. Perhaps YOU read nuance into something that others didn't, but for most, Toxic Chainsaw's involvement was directly never implied and was immediately dismissed. By the way, I know what literally means, I was repeating literally because literally I don't need you trying to lecture me on how to use literally. Don't try to correct my grammar, when you can't even accept an utterly unevidenced fan-theory being utter nonsense. You try to talk down to me about what I "believe" when you and these "many" others, who don't seem to be around anywhere, believed something objectively wrong. Get over yourself. It wouldn't matter if millions of people had the wrong idea that Toxic Chainsaw was involved. It would still be wrong.

Princess Paladin

Considering that I, and I have also read the responses of many others, who also assumed that it was Toxic Chainsaw, it was not nearly as clear cut as you personally believe. Perhaps YOU didn't hear the nuances that others heard, but for many, Toxic Chainsaw's involvement WAS indeed implied. By the way, "literally" means that he actually said those words, word for word, which he DID NOT. If you indeed know what was said, you'd know that.

Irenesharda

I think Zoro is better to understand since he still could use his tongue. It would be more like a ventriloquist does. With Stain though, he doesn't even use his tongue!

Irenesharda

The same way Zoro can talk perfectly despite having a sword in his mouth.

Riru (〃＾▽＾〃)

That's terribly tragic!

Tammi M

Lol I thought that same thing when I first saw it happen! XD

Tammi M

@Jennifer Jacobs I know what was said. No, that wouldn't lead me to believe any such thing. The context was clearly that he wasn't responsible, and All Might LITERALLY said it was in a fight that was kept secret, meaning it LITERALLY wasn't Toxic Chainsaw. There is no way anyone could reasonably infer that Toxic Chainsaw was even implied to have been responsible from that exchange. He was clearly dismissive of the idea and moved on to say the injury occurred under different circumstances. His statement was very clearly a rebuttal of the guess Izuku made, without saying who actually injured him, because, yes, he didn't know Izuku well at the time. This isn't some nuanced issue where you need to dissect the dialogue. It wasn't Toxic Chainsaw, they never said it was Toxic Chainsaw, and they never implied it was Toxic Chainsaw. That's all there is to it.

Princess Paladin

So much hype!

Jack Black

@Mavengoose Unlimited No, it's just frustrating when they continue to be confused about something that is a non-issue and was cleared up ages ago.

Princess Paladin

Here's a question. How does Stain speak coherently with his tongue lolling out of his mouth? He shouldn't be able to form understandable words! lol

Irenesharda

Actually, he didn't "literally" say that. What they are missing is that All Might never even brought up Toxic Chainsaw--DEKU did. All Might said that he got the injury from an enemy five years ago. Deku said "Five years ago, was that when you fought Toxic Chainsaw?" All Might responds that "You are well-informed. But a punk like that couldn't defeat me." The way All Might said that and the way his tone and words were framed would lead you to believe that Toxic Chainsaw was the one that injured him as his statement sounds more like he was saying that the villain gravely injured him, but he didn't allow for himself to be DEFEATED by him. The words used here are crucial. I too thought that it was Toxic Chainsaw that caused the injury until this arc came up. But we have to remember that All Might didn't know Deku very well here yet, so I would propose that his statement was purposely misleading in order to divert the truth. He trusted Deku with the main parts but not the entire story. And this makes perfect sense. Remember that a large portion of the superhero society DO know about All Might's injury, but NOT about One For All. Considering that the villain is probably intimately connected to All Might and One for All, All Might probably had to hide that connection from other heroes, and so they TOO might think his injury was the result of his fight with Toxic Chainsaw.

Irenesharda

Ah! is that the correct romaji spelling, my bad. Thanks for pointing it out, as I like learning something new. So Bettlejuice actually says "Nou ga fureru!" It makes sense now, arigatou :P

Steven Long

Their Deku vs. Todoroki video was an hour and a half originally, this doesn't even compare.

Kyle

Yeah, the line is followed up with "this fight wasn't made public to the world" clearly showing that it was NOT the villain he just mentioned, because Deku wouldn't have known about it.

Kyle

I think it is better for reactors to doubt the information given on show since it will lead to interesting analysis. I would want to ponder what kind of involvement Texas chainsaw guy had with the incident that caused the injury to all might. Just my thoughts.

Mavengoose Unlimited

There's no context. They really don't spoil anything that I can think of. I think "spoiling" may be being used too liberally here. And I'm someone who hates spoilers. Without context, some random shots don't mean or reveal anything. And they aren't plot points either way.

Princess Paladin

No, I'd say that some of the last few shots of the opening even spoil what happens up until episode 24-ish.

Riru (〃＾▽＾〃)

This isn't a spoiler since it wasn't ever mentioned in the series, but the creator of MHA confirmed that the Nomu with wings is actually the same person as that kid with wings who was Bakugou's childhood friend in the flashback of the first episode. That's why we don't see him around after Bakugou and Izuku hit middle school. That is honestly some messed up stuff.

Riru (〃＾▽＾〃)

Also, All Might literally said in Episode 2 that Toxic Chainsaw did NOT injure him. No one was "leading" Jacob. It was clarified that All Might said that Toxic Chainsaw wasn't responsible for the injury. Deku just guessed based on the time frame.

Princess Paladin

"At least there's only three..." --"ONLY?!"

Tammi M

Aww shucks

Semblance of Sanity

ALL ABOARD YA BEAUTIFUL BASTARDS :D

Semblance of Sanity

Haha awesome! Glad to hear it! Yeah we do use things like that as fuel for our more heated discussion. That potential ambiguity from OUR perspective gives us opportunity to go down a wonderful rabbit trail though lol.

Semblance of Sanity

We could discuss MHA for HOURS, there's so much meat to it!

Semblance of Sanity

Excellent commentary!

Semblance of Sanity

Omg, it was such a trip to hear my comment from last week's video about Toxic Chainsaw get mentioned in this week's discussion. It wasn't my intention to write a leading comment, just to remind y'all what how that ep 2 conversation went since you two were arguing about it. Also one more note: the line "That punk couldn't have beaten me" can also be translated as "That punk couldn't have hurt me" or "That punk couldn't have done this to me", because translating is tricky and none of those would technically be incorrect. All this to say: in the perspective of the original language, there really isn't any ambiguity in what All Might says and means with that line. *slinks away*

Carmadillo

I just want to point out that you were discussing a SHONEN for almost as long as you discussed pyscho-pass. This is good.

Sadovari

He's 4th in overall ranking. This includes things like influence, popularity, crime rates statistics etc

Lupus Rose

Buddy that ain't fun at all...

Tony Cao

Fun fact: In the manga it states a possible character who was used for one of the nomus who has appeared quite far back in the show. Like at the start of season 1 far back.

Fing3rP0P

I say Iida (hypothetically) sealed his fate when he called himself a hero. Stain saw revenge in Iida's eyes, but still hadn't decided to target Iida at that point, because he's just a kid. It seems Iida noticed this, got frustrated, and intentionally declared himself a valid target by introducing himself with a hero name.

Heejung Kim

dont think best jeanist i the 4th strongest hero 4th popular hero i think it was mention

christopher thao

My personal spoiler threshold would say yes, but my instinct would always be to wait until the end to be certain. You only get one chance to view something for the first time after all.

Sofia W

I'm still hoping for some actual deaths. I don't want this show to go the way of Fairy Tail where they keep threatening a character death but never following through, resulting in any shred of meaning in sacrifice or danger evaporating and an inability to take any potential harm inflicted seriously due to knowing nothing will actually stick.

Princess Paladin

So, like, safe to watch after the next episode then?

Princess Paladin

Ok... but these guys very clearly watch things and try to figure things out. Therefore, it would spoil them. I don't know how you could watch this intro and not be spoiled frankly.... it's not a matter of "trying to call it", it's very much in your face. It literally shows elements of how the Stain/Iida cliffhanger from this episode plays out.

Sofia W

Actually, nōmu (or noumu depending on how you romanize it) means brainless!

komorebi

No it doesn't. We're beyond the point of spoilers. There is nothing it spoils "strongly" or otherwise. I don't want to spoil anything. I watched it the first time it came out and wasn't spoiled for anything. I guess the difference is I watch the openings and enjoy them, I don't try to guess what's going to happen based off of them. The trying to predict what's going to happen while watching the show thing, to try to "call it", that they do is honestly one of the less charming parts of SoS's reactions. I'm just like, "Guys, just watch it and see what happens. You can make guesses afterwards if you want." So, perhaps my experiences are different. But I think just watching an opening for an enjoyment instead of trying to use it to guess what's going to happen is the better way to go.

Princess Paladin

Please don't yet! The opening spoils the upcoming episodes pretty strongly. Why do you want to spoil it for them (assuming they haven't watched it yet, which I hope is the case)

Sofia W

You guys are right, MHA is a very typical shounen in term of plot armor and not killing people off. What make it special are the outstanding graphics and the unique relationship between characters.

GUYS. PLZ. DO A REACTION TO THE OPENING. T_T (Also good reaction)

Princess Paladin

Love it when reactor/analyst pick up on stuff like conversation between big badie and shigaraki from episode 13 after the all might plus ultra fight

Mavengoose Unlimited

I recall that Nomu means 'to drink' in Japanese. Also, Genome is said like genomu in Japanese i.e. those nomu are an artificial cocktail of DNA :P

Steven Long

HYPE TRAIN CHOO CHOOO!

That last "Shine". so good.

Peasant

Thanks Kyle for confirming! I didn't know who YonkouProd was but they seem to have access to Japanese manga news. So glad it's true :D

Phyllis

All might also said that the true fight was kept secret because he asked to be kept secret :D

VinterSvart

You're right! My (Caleb's) mistake!

Semblance of Sanity

Yeah he said he would deal with them later! (in reference to the league of villain and their shenanigans)

Jason MacNeil

It'll be crazy yeah, but we'll make it out of this alive! I'm sure the discussion will be insane too!

Semblance of Sanity

So excited!

Semblance of Sanity

It's definitely real, yonkou is never wrong with his leaks.

Kyle

I'm not sure where the source is coming from, but according to this tweet, <a href="https://twitter.com/YonkouProd/status/913364788578783232" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">https://twitter.com/YonkouProd/status/913364788578783232</a> mha/bnha season 3 has been confirmed. Since the last ep of season 1 confirmed season 2, hopefully the last ep of mha/bnha that comes out tomorrow confirms season 3. :)

Phyllis

so true xD

VinterSvart

Clare

You should just bite the bullet and make the next reaction a double episode reaction shits gonna get hyped and if you keep it to one a week neither us nor you will survive the waitwait
