These few are the most nail-biting, thrilling, passionate, exhilarating, and definitely worth a rewatch.

10 His Start (S4, Episode 25)

The final episode of season 4 highlights the struggles Endeavor must face to replace his rival as the Number 1 Pro-Hero. He must stop an intelligent Nomu from destroying the city and harming himself and the town's civilians.

First season All Might is not one to mess around with, as fans see in this exciting episode where he fights off the League of Villains. The incredible, powerful, beefy hero pushes himself past his physical limits to protect each and every person in Class 1A, and it's amazing to watch.

Viewers also get to witness the impossible regenerating strength of the Nomu, a foe that will soon become a major weapon of the villains. All Might deserves all the praise in the world for his impressive save in this episode.

7 That Which Is Inherited (S5, Episode 10)

This amazing season 5 episode reveals the jaw-dropping twist behind Deku's inherited quirk. After accidentally releasing his predecessor's quirk Blackwhip, Deku spirals wildly out of control. Once Shinsou is able to stop him, Deku is met with a previous user of One For All and learns about the details of his shared quirk.

The plot twist is so unexpected, and blew audiences' minds far and wide. The thought of the crybaby protagonist having six different quirks is unbelievable, and made for an interesting choice in the story's direction.

6 Let It Flow! School Festival! (S4, Episode 23)

After a somewhat annoying battle against the wannabe major villain Gentle and his parter, La Brava, Deku is able to head back to UA to take part in the school festival. Due to its lighthearted atmosphere, the episode surrounding this event is a stellar one.

The band performance is truly immaculate, way better than any manga reader was expecting. Seeing all of the students having a blast in their band is one of the happiest and silliest moments in the entire series. The song is absolutely one for fans to play on repeat.

5 Climax (S2, Episode 17)

The serial hero killer Stain finally falls in this episode. The UA Class 1A trio Deku, Shoto, and Iida are stuck in a bleak place against the villain, until they manage to gather the strength to beat him down together.

3 Deku vs Kacchan, Part 2 (S3, Episode 23)

In this fantastic episode, Kacchan has to let out his feelings in the only way he can: through violence and screaming. What's more, Deku is all here for it. The two lifelong rivals sneak out from their dorms and fight in the empty training grounds, testing to see who is stronger than who.

Katsuki reveals the emotional trauma he recently experienced, and Deku can finally trust him with his ultimate secret. It's powerful, touching, and fun to watch several times over.

2 Infinite 100% (S4, Episode 13)

In this episode, Deku is the final hero to face off against the evil Shie Hassaikai leader, Overhaul. Deku isn't used to using One For All at 100%; however, charges his power up to the highest extent with the help of Eri, who can reverse the damage done on his body for a limited time.
