While most of the time, MHA A quality anime, it is also outstanding Some fights that aren't as good as their manga counterpartsand as a result they disappointed fans. Whether it's due to lackluster animation, disappointing voice acting, or rushed storytelling, the six battles below are some of the most egregious examples of this practice.

6 Miryo Togata vs. Overhaul

Emotional conflict that should have better animation

• Chapter 150 to 152 (Manga) Episode 74 (Anime)

This cannot be denied Mirio Togata One of the most lovable characters in the series, and during the Shie Hassaikai Arc, he proved just how much of a hero he was when he sacrificed his traits to save Eri. Even after losing his super strength, he continued to fight the villain Major repairs And his companion, Chronostasis, with his sheer power and will. It was one of the most emotional and inspiring moments in the manga, as Horikoshi's beautiful art and intricate tableaus made readers feel how strong Miryo was at this pivotal moment.

Unfortunately, the anime version leaves a lot to be desired, as the fight itself has little to no animation and is instead presented as a series of slideshows. While in reality, it's not that different from the manga, the scene was so popular that most fans expected Bones to express it more in the anime, but that didn't happen. In the end, the beautiful music was the only good part of the anime adaptation of this fight.

5 Izuku Midoriya vs Gentleman Criminal

The climax of the school festival was much desired

• Chapters 176 to 180 (manga) episodes 84 and 85 (anime)

Each arc of My hero academy Anime often has an exciting battle with incredible animations, especially if it's the hero of the series Izuku Midoriya is involved For this reason, deco Opposite dealing with mild criminal It was shaping up to be the best fight in the second half of Season 4. It started off pretty well, as the animation did a good job of conveying Gentle's fun elastic powers, but the rest of the fight didn't match up. hype, because it wasn't as good as the other battles in the series.

The original version was faster, more dynamic, and even more tragic than the anime adaptation, and so what seemed like a climactic resolution to an emotional conflict in the manga was more of a pointless brawl in the anime. Later on, the season ended with an incredible showdown between Endeavor and the Hood, so it's clear that the animator's focus was more on that fight.

4 Tomura Shigaraki vs. Destroy Again

The result of a poorly adapted (but important) story arc.

• Chapters 233 to 239 (manga) episodes 111 and 112 (anime)

The Meta Liberation Army Arc, better known as My Villain Academia, is notorious among avid manga readers for its poor adaptation that omitted important scenes and sped up the pace. As a result of this flaw, the fight climaxes Tomura Shigaraki and Destroy again It was very disappointing

Without all the scenes that were cut and due to the arc's short duration, it was almost impossible to convey to the audience how sad and sympathetic the League of Efrain is, and thus, Shigaraki's vital development is not felt as strongly. The final moment in the manga, where he awakens his freak and completely destroys everything around him (including the Re-Destro armor), looked great in the anime, but Horikoshi's art It made him seem much scarier and more dangerous in the original manga.

3 Izuku Midoriya vs Tomura Shigaraki

This long overdue rematch in the anime was very disappointing

• Chapters 233 to 239 (manga) episodes 111 and 112 (anime)

After a lot of build-up over many different episodes and story arcs, the history arc of the Supernatural War of Independence was finally going to give audiences the long-awaited showdown. Izuku Midoriya and Tomura Shigarakiespecially after both of them had gotten so much stronger in recent episodes. To make things even more intense, after the villainous friend Katsuki fatally stabs Bakugou, Deku is completely enraged.

Unfortunately, the animated version of this fight did not live up to the hype. In the manga, the enraged Deku looked like a fearsome, unstoppable beast who would do anything he could to defeat Shigaraki. He didn't look nearly as menacing in the animated version, mostly due to the censorship and inappropriate use of bright colors. The animation was also choppy and slow, which was very disappointing for what was supposed to be the climactic battle of the entire arc. Overall, this is a fight that is definitely better in manga form.

2 Mezo Shoji vs. spinner

The anime lacked much vital context

• Chapters 369 to 374 (Manga) Episodes 151 to 153 (Anime)

The concept of discrimination against people with mutant traits – also known as heteromorphs – was introduced relatively late in the story, and during the final war, when it mattered most. spinner And his army of extremists tried to attack the central hospital. This led to his conflict with the young hero Mezo Shoji In a fascinating encounter

While both the manga and the anime don't really address this as much as they should, the original manga at least sets it right a few years back and shows some important scenes that show Spinner's suffering and He gives a lot. Need for Character Development As mentioned earlier, most of these scenes were completely cut from the anime, and as such, the fight lost a lot of emotional impact. The animated version isn't too bad, but it seems like it came out of nowhere in comparison.

1 Effort and Hawks Vs. All for one

The choppy animation and bright colors made it seem less intense

• Chapters 353 to 364 (manga) episodes 144 to 150 (anime)

When at the beginning of the Final War Arc all the heroes were divided into different teams, Pro Heroes try and Hawks They were assigned the most challenging task: trying to destroy All for one. This led to a brutal and complex fight where the Devil Symbol made full use of some of his most powerful stolen attributes as the two heroes pushed their powers to their limits.

However, the team's animated adaptation was hampered by many questionable directorial decisions, such as the use of bright colors and some harsh animations that ruined the dark mood. It doesn't sound bad per se, but most fans expected a meeting this important to look better. In comparison, Horikoshi's art really shined in the original, especially when Endeavor lost an arm and made a new one out of his own fire. It was one of the most epic heroic moments in the manga, while it looked good in the anime.
