LYRICS IN BNHA OPENING THEME SONGS THAT COULD ALLUDE TO BAKUDEKU

PART 2: OP2 Peace Sign & OP9 Merry Go Round & OP7 Starmaker

⚠️Warning Manga Spoilers (Chap. 367)⚠️

[mysterylover123]

Can you do a post of the mha openings and endings you like from least to most since we have season five completed I’m curious to know your opinion

LOL sure! I haven’t watched the s5 OPs all that much yet tho so I’m probably being unfair to them.

THE OPS:

#9. Season 5 OP1 “No 1″

I really knew Season 5 was in trouble when I saw this one. I mean, to be fair there wasn’t much to work with in this arc. It’s so laid back and there’s not a lot of drama, so of course it’s a little underwhelming. Still tho. Could’ve been more stylish. 

#8. Season 2 OP2 “Sora Ni Utaeba”

There’s nothing really wrong with SNU per se, it’s just a little basic to me. A little disjoined probably because it’s adapting two really really different arcs.

#7. Season 5 OP2 “Merry Go Round”

This one is growing on me, tho I still carry resentment for it having so little League of Villains stuff. Those artsy shots of the Big 3 really put it up a few notches. It’s nice to look at, it’s just not the right OP for this arc.

#6. Season 3 OP2 “Make my Story

This one has some subtly brilliant symbolism, like Shoto and Kacchan looking away from the camera. It’s low for me mostly for aesthetic reasons. Tho that shot of Deku and Kacchan casting shadows is one of the best in all the OPS

#5. Season 4 OP1 “Polaris”

This one used to be higher up, but the more I see it the more basic and bare bones it seems to me. It’s pretty much just a plot summary of the Internship arc, which isn’t one of my faves. Still, it’s gorgeous and the song gives me chills.

#4. Season 1 OP “The Day”

The first and still one of the best! My emotions get all tripped up by those shots of Deku on the bridge. And those Deku and Kacchan shots are still emotional, even years of hand holding and collapsed-hugs and apologies later.

#3. Season 2 OP 1 “Peace Sign”

The top 3 are a tight one. Peace Sign is a little lower because it’s a little simpler, but it still stands as the most...MHA of all the MHA openings. The most pumped up. It’s the Sports Fest arc, it’s the one that made this show.

#2. Season 4 OP1 “Star Marker”

Ooh, I was so tempted to make this one #1. It’s so feel-good. But it’s not quite the top MHA op. Still, it’s amazing to look at and only gets better, more ynamic, exciting and gorgeous, every time. 

#1. Season 3 OP1 “Odd Future”

I kinda suspect this one won’t be topped. I’m rewatching the Hideout raid arc right now actually, and I can’t help but get chills every single time this one starts. I KEEP MY IDEALS ZORE ZORE....”

THE EDS:

#9. Season 3 ED 2 Long Hope Philia

LOL definitely the most boring ED of the bunch. But it’s not that there’s anything wrong with it, it’s just really basic and not super energetic, with no really memorable shots per se. 

#8. Season 2 ED 1 Dakara Hitori Ja Nai

Again, don’t dislike this one or anything. It’s just kinda there. It has more of a gimmick than Long Hope Philia tho, being about the ladies, so it gets a small boost. 

#7. Season 5 ED 1 Footprints

The third one that’s mostly kinda boring and a little too basic. But it’s a little prettier than the first two and carries some nice peaceful Class A feels, so I’m ranking it a little higher.

#6. Season 3 ED 1 Update

This one sorta ended up the highest of the “basic and boring” EDs for me, possibly just because of the Arc it’s attached to, possibly because it just tells more of a vignette series than the other three. 

#5. Season 5 ED 2 Uso Janai

This one carries the feels for this current arc, and has some nice Hawks, Trinity, and LoV imagery. Still, it doesn’t have a narrative like the top 4, so I’m placing it down here.

#4. Season 4 ED 1 About a Voyage

Eri’s story. Beautifully told, emotional, and brilliantly put together. They really did not half-ass this one. 

#3. Season 1 ED HEROES

About a Voyaage and HEROES are both about a character journey narrative, but HEROES is Deku’s, and he’s our MC (even though I still have PTSD from the last year’s goddamn manga arc) so his one ranks a little higher for me.

#2. Season 2 ED 2 Datte atashi no Hero

The beautiful Fantasy AU ED! Yes, it’s amazing and wonderful and we all love it. It has amazing BKDK vibes. But I think I ranked them before and stated that it’s the perfect ED for the Fantasy aU - but not for HeroAca. That distinction goes ti...

#1. Season 4 ED 2 Shout Baby

This one reduces me to tears sometimes. The music, the imagery (throughout the whole thing, not just the last few minutes), the meaning behind each shot...it’s an ED as well put together as an OP.

BNHA OPs 1-7 Ranked

This is my personal opinion. Obviously. The OPs are thoroughly subjective and everyone has their favorites and least favorites. This is just my ranking and its a hard list for me to do because they’re all. So damn good. I’m including both visuals and music here for criteria.

#7. OP 3 “Sora Ni Utaeba” by Amazarashi (Season 2 Part 2, Eps 26-38)

It’s so hard to pick a least favorite. They’re all so good. The imagery in this one is neat and the symbolism is lovely. The song is nice enough. There are a few nice images here and there. This one is just my least favorite of the seven - partly because the song is a little bit too calm for me, and partly because it feels like just a basic summary of the events of the arc in imagery. I think the real reason this one is lower down for me is because it’s tone doesn’t exactly match the arc it’s attached to. The Stain arc is a little dark for this upbeat intro.

#6. OP 5 “Make My Story” by Lenny Code Fiction (Season 3 Part 2 eps 51-63)

This one has a pretty kickass song, albeit one that’s more of a rock jam than an emotional hitter. This one is actually lower down because aside from the final shot of All Might’s shadow encompassing Deku and Kacchan, the rest of it is again just more of a plot summary to me than a big symbolic fest. It’s just straightforward lineups of the characters rather than the more creative images of other OPS. Or maybe it’s just the PLE arc.

#5. OP 1 “THE DAY” by Porno Graffiti (Season 1, Episodes 1-13)

S1′s OP still stands up ok after all this time. This one is very Deku centric, which is probably what makes me like it a lot. All the broody Deku imagery and the opposed BKDK shots, the falling notebooks and the opening image of him reaching out towards that void image of All Might. Also the song is this darker, more edgy jam compared to some of the others and it still stands up after all this time.

#4. OP 7 “Starmarker” by Kana Boon (Season 4 part 2 Episodes 77-88)

This OP is pretty perfect for the season it’s attached to. It looks like a slice of life OP, lower speed and more easy-going in tone, with lots of shots of characters having fun. I’m really into the symbolism of it here and there, especially the part with the candy apple and the brooding scenes of TodoBaku. And all of the Jirous. So much of Jirou in this OP.

#3. OP 2 “Peace Sign” by Kenshi Yonezu (Season 2 Part 1, Eps 14-26)

Ah, the classic. The fan favorite. Most peoples’ pick for at least 2nd place if not first. I do love the song. It just sounds like the soundtrack to BNHA. It fits so well. I think it only lands in 3rd because the imagery is a lot slower and more simplistic than some of the others, at least more so than the top 2, but what we do get is pretty nice, especially the shots of the MCs working out towards the beginning. A respectable 3rd.

#2. OP 6 “Polaris” by BLUE ENCOUNTER (Season 4 Part 1, Episodes 63-77)

Boy howdy did this one grow on me. I started out being annoyed with it and now we’re here. 2nd place. A close second even. The music is epic (I find myself singing along to the title and doing so with gusty). The imagery is all perfect - never though they could make the internship arc look this great. My favorite, of course, is the shot of Deku and Eri falling, but the other stuff is pretty awesome too. It’s so close to being the best. But for now, still unbeaten:

#1. OP 4 “Odd Future” by UVERworld (Season 3 Part 1, Episodes 38-51)

Of course the best arc has the best OP. This one has been the best, to me, since  i watched season 3. Still is. Never fails to bowl me over. The music, the imagery, the symbolism for the All Might vs All for One Fight; the shots of the characters, the way it tells you everything while giving away nothing and hypes you up. I KEEP MY IDEALS ZOREZORE is freaking life, man. And that last shot is the series in a nutshell.
