There appears to be some contention with the latest episode of My Hero Academia's anime, as the recent installment features Midoriya unleashing a new power that was deep within the heart of One For All in Black Whip, and a few fans are looking to set the record straight as to the reasoning as to why Deku used this out of control ability. With Blackwhip being unleashed during Izuku's fight as a part of the Joint Training Exercise Arc, which could not have happened at a worse possible time, he learned more about the vestiges of One For All and the fifth user of the Quirk.
The Joint Training Exercise has had some major battles to kick things off with this fifth season, but the exploration of Deku's Quirk has been one of the biggest moments of the season to date. Learning that the power of Blackwhip was wielded by the hero Daigoro Banjo, Deku learns that because the power was unleashed by his anger, it became uncontrollable, though fans seem to be debating as to what was the trigger. As many fans believe, it seems as if Monoma's insults hurled toward Izuku's friend Bakugo was what caused him to lose control.
Twitter Users took to social media to share their thoughts on the idea that the insults hurled at Bakugo were the reason that Deku lost control, proving that their relationship has strengthened over time and has had some big effects on the personality of the young, hot-tempered hero:
This should not be a controversial opinion
Bakugou is Literally

Luckily for Deku, Shinso and Ochaco were able to calm him down to the point where Blackwhip was suppressed, but the fight for the victor of the current battle of the Joint Training Exercise is long from decided. With the final fight in full swing, season five will have plenty of other surprises left for fans.
