My Hero Academia has hit a major turning point in its third season as the battle between All Might and All For One reaches its conclusion. But fans did not expect how dramatic the ending of this battle would be.

Not only did the latest episode reveal more about All Might’s past with his teacher, but it revealed his greater connection to All For One, his connection to the League of Villains, and ultimately, it revealed his greatest attack in the series to date: United States of Smash.
Because of the wild places the episode goes before its end, as the battle essentially upends the fabric of the series completely, fans are still stunned after seeing the episode. With some citing its the best in the series yet, it’s just another shining example of why the third season of the series has been great so far and My Hero Academia‘s greatness as a whole.
Read on to see what fans are saying about the episode, and let us know what you thought about it in the comments! That United States of Smash punch was really something, wasn’t it?
For those unfamiliar with the My Hero Academia juggernaut, the series was created by Kohei Horikoshi and has been running in Shueisha’s Weekly Shonen Jump since July 2014. The story follows Izuku Midoriya, who lives in a world where everyone has super powers but he was born without them. Dreaming to become a superhero anyway, he’s eventually scouted by the world’s best hero All Might and enrolls in a school for professional heroes. The series has been collected into 15 volumes so far, and has been licensed by Viz Media for an English language release since 2015.
My Hero Academia‘s first movie, My Hero Academia: Two Heroes, is scheduled to open August 3 in Japan, but will hold a special World Premiere at Anime Expo 2018. The film is expecting to hits U.S. theaters this Fall. The film will cover a story not seen in the original manga with series creator Horikoshi noting that, “Of course the movie will be filled with Class A’s great efforts, that character’s past that hasn’t been in the manga yet, flashy action scenes, and much more.” The film also previously revealed its first key visual depicting a character fans have never seen before, and a trailer revealing an All Might in his prime.
