Yeah I didn't like that episode.
What exactly was the point of Bakugou vs Reze? This episode didn't expand upon the scaling Death Battle already had for MHA, nor CSM. It had a result that nearly everyone knew was going to occur. It was barely talked about by the fanbase in the weeks leading up to it, and even after its release, I've barely seen any fanfare beyond the same unfunny fanart posts being made and spammed everywhere.
Even the episode itself I found was kinda just really boring. The analysis for Bakugou was basically just the same stuff they already talked about for MHA in two previous episodes. And the fight itself felt so bland at times. It didn't fill me with the same sense of hype that Shigaraki vs Mahito or Deku vs Miles filled me with, and those were both stomp matchups. Literally any matchup would've worked over this one, I don't see why they devoted so much time to this dead Twitter meme.
The only thing this episode accomplished was furthering the whole "MHA Street Tiers" meme that was already starting to die down until this came out.
It doesn't help that this episode came out so soon after Shigaraki vs Mahito and Deku vs Miles, it feels like there's been way too much MHA on the show recently. I'm getting tired of seeing the verse.
