My Hero Academia: 10 Best Episodes

2. Infinite 100%

All Might One For All My Hero Academia
Bones

This chapter of the show manages to fit just about everything that makes this series special into one neat episode. You'll run the whole gambit of emotion from thrilling action to beautiful storytelling, tear-jerking moments and stunning visuals. So, how could it not find its way onto this list?

"Infinite 100%" brings the action of the Shie Hissaikai arc to its conclusion, as Deku finally grabs hold of Eri and tears her away from Overhaul. He then uses her rewind quirk to end the villain, using One For All without holding back.

The episode contains some of My Hero's most spectacular sequences. You've got the beautiful "Never Let Her Go" moment where Eri jumps into the arms of Deku, the mind-blowing showdown between him and Overhaul, the backstory on Eri's quirk/her relationship with Overhaul and Deku contradicting Nighteye's foresight quirk. It packs a punch in everything ranging from storytelling to music to animation.

Also, although Deku had already cemented himself as a true hero (see "My Hero"), this was the moment where he established that he wasn't just a great hero but a future number one.
