10. Ranking in at number ten, Deku showing off his new Shoot Style to save All Might was cool enough to just barely make it into the final list. In the sub All Might says, “that’s right,” but personally I love the dub where he says, “you’ve got it, kid”.
9. Ranking in at number nine, Endeavor facing off against Hood was incredible. The fact that he had to go all out and use a plus ultra version of his special move must mean he was running out of options. It was a difficult fight, but he managed to win and prove to people that he has what it takes to be the new number one hero.
8. Ranking in at number eight, Deku, with the help of Eri, being able to constantly release 100% of his power was simply amazing. He would need to, as Overhaul in his final form was a scary opponent indeed.
7. Ranking in at number seven, Deku facing off against Muscular and using a 1,000,000% smash to finish him off and save Kota was incredible. Bonus points for Deku already being injured in the fight.
6. Ranking in at number six, All Might using Gran Torino’s teachings to open All For One up for a United States of Smash attack was spectacular. United States of Smash is the strongest move a OFA user can use, and should only be used as the very last resort, as using it will render the user incapable of using OFA ever again.
5. Ranking in at number five, Sun Eater used his Quirk in a unique way in order to defeat three tough villains at the same time. What he said about not “eating” your friends is true, as a friend who uses their friends is no friend at all.
4. Ranking in at number four, Red Riot getting back in front of Fat Gum so Fat Gum can finish charging his special move was awesome. Red Riot proved by doing this that he can be courageous, brave, and gutsy as well. The icing on the cake is Fat Gum commending him as he uses his special attack and blows the baddies away.
3. Ranking in at number three, Lemillion losing his Quirk was devastating. However, as a true hero would, he continued to fight against Overhaul even without a Quirk, using careful strategy, offense, and avoiding Overhaul‘s attacks to stay alive. It only cemented the fact that even people without Quirks can do a great deal (like Deku showed in the beginning of the show).
2. Ranking in a number two, this scene is the highlight of the newest season for me, and shows what fledgling heroes can do together when they really put their minds to it. It also just displays the teamwork they can easily utilize, and the future potential for each of them as heroes as well. Deku being able to control Blackwhip for the first time is great, and Deku receiving his first praise as a hero was the icing on the cake.
1. And the number one scene on this list? What could it be other than Deku, at the time just Midoriya, running into harm’s way to save the boy who bullied him growing up, Bakugo. All Might always said that meddling where one shouldn’t is the essence of a hero, and Midoriya proved this by doing something none of the other heroes at the scene could.
