BN // MHA S2 EP20

—————————————————————————— Inspired, Izuku takes the stage to battle Hitoshi. However, Hitoshi taunts Izuku about Mashirao and gets him to talk, activating his Brainwashing Quirk. The crowd watches in horror as Izuku stands immobile in the middle of the ring. The Boy Born with Everything { 全てを持って生まれた男の子 , Subete o Motte Umareta Otoko no Ko ? } is the nineteenth episode of the My Hero Academia anime and the sixth episode of the second season. Summary. The first match of the finals is underway, but Izuku has stopped in his tracks. Present Mic attributes this to Hitoshi Shinso’s Quirk. Eraser Head comments that the match is an example of why the U.A. Entrance Exam is flawed ; Hitoshi has a powerful Quirk, however, he was not admitted to the hero course because the practical exam was based on scoring points by fighting robotic villains. Story. Izuku’s mystifying vision. Hitoshi’s Quirk, Brainwashing, allows him to control anyone that talks to him. He tells Izuku he is lucky to have been blessed with a heroic Quirk, then orders Izuku to turn around and walk out of bounds. Izuku obeys and starts walking towards the edge of the ring, much to the shock of everyone watching. All Might yells for him to stop, but to no avail. In Izuku’s head, he struggles to stop himself, but is completely helpless to disobey Hitoshi’s order and continues walking, his mind is feels like it is full of fog and his body is moving on its own. He remembers what Mashirao told him before the match. Mashirao explains that during the Cavalry Battle, he was under Hitoshi’s control until he bumped into Ibara Shiozaki. Izuku could have avoided being brainwashed had he not talked to Hitoshi, and now there’s no outside interference to break Hitoshi’s hold.
