Ep 31

It's that reporter again. Does she have a name?

3rd OP is starting to grow on me, but I still miss the 2nd OP.

I burst out laughing seeing the police chief. A freaking dog head

That was wholesome

I just noticed Ochako's phone is an old flip-phone. How cheap are her parents? >_>

lmao, I'm no shipper but those Ochako and Midoriya interactions are cute.

Poor Iida, but it's actually kinda cool to see a character actually get a permanent injury in a shonen, given how much actual damage they tend to shrug off only to be better the next day. Will it actually slow him down tho or will the show ignore it as if nothing happened?

Unrealistic, that video didn't end with the uploader saying to like, share, and subscribe

I assume this montage is the future villains. I recognize one of them from art of the show. Himiko Toga, I think her name is. Been looking forward to seeing her.

---

Toga is best girl

Even non-shippers love Izuku and Ochaco.

Her parents don't have a lot of money because their construction company isn't doing that great.

Completely ignored. I forget if it's even mentioned ever again.

Oh that's right. Now I feel bad for making that joke. :(

---

Poor destitute Ochako just wants to make cash money to help her family and this guy is making fun of her

He's such a badass, even though he's not exactly a great person. He's an interesting case. I love when he puts his hands on the Nomu's head and torches it until the flames turn blue.

Endeavor is probably my favorite character. Him or All Might.

All Might is my favorite overall, and Todoroki is my favorite among the students.

There are so many great characters, though, and if I were to make a list and really think about it, I'd probably end up with 15 people tied for first place.

Ep 32

Not much to say about this one since it's filler but it was fun little Froppy adventure and now I'm hungry for calamari.

Yeah, I would say All Might's my fav hero and Todoroki is my fav student. They so far have the most compelling stories.

I should warn you that another contender for best student is going to show up later. I won't spoil anything plot-related about him, what he does, or who he is, I'll just say a name so you know for later:

Mirio Togata, a.k.a. Lemillion

Oh yeah, he's pretty awesome.

Amajiki is great too, when he shows up. He's my favorite of them.

Ep 33

Now we return to the plot

Can't wait to see Ochako in an actual fight now, feels like she really leveled up

Sero swinging like Spider-man

I'm glad Midoriya is impressing. Even Bakugo has to acknowledge it.

Mineta btfo'd for being a perv

So that's the story of All For One. But what was All Might holding back? This mystery ain't over it seems.

All For One huh. I get it. All For One = takes all Quirks for himself, One For All = gives a Quirk to others

I don't think I like that foreshadowing with All Might

You must watch more and watch faster.

Stop eating and going to the bathroom.

there are some very interesting parallels here to the concept of Inherited Will in One Piece

Ep 34

"Is it necessary for heroes to be sexy?" Yes. Yes it is.

What exactly is Midnight's Quirk? I noticed the captions didn't say, even tho it said Mt. Lady's.

Sure, Midnight, sure.

"I think you're amazing...for your age." This is anime so I assume Midnight is the ripe old age of 23 or something.

"Mineta's Quirk: Pop Off" Oh he's poppin' somethin' alright.

lol Poor Ashido and Kaminari being at the bottom of their class

Mineta's in the top 10?! It's always the clowns that surprise you.

Momo being number 1 was expected, but her getting excited to tutor the other students is pretty cute.

Monoma's a jerk. I like Kendo tho. I'm glad to see more of her.

It's hard to believe Bakugo and Midoriya were ever friends tbh. :\ Guy just exhudes hate for no reason.

Momo is rich af!

Students vs Teachers for the practical exam. Does this mean I'll finally see what Principal Weaselthing can do?

Midoriya and Bakugo vs All Might? This should be good.

So that's why he's called Sugarman. Sugar is literally his superpower.

Tsuyu and Todoyomi vs Ectoplasm. I think this is a good match for Todoyomi at least with his shadow against Ectoplasm's shadows.

Midnight's quirk causes her to release an aroma from her skin that puts people to sleep. She used it during the tournament

Ep 35

Tokoyami, not Todoyomi. Why do I always mess up Birdhead's name

Asui and Tokoyami kick ass together

Didn't expect Momo to be this insecure. But it makes sense given her poor showing in the tournament. So is the contrast between Momo and Todorokie, like she got recommended through being booksmart and he got recommended through being strong (as well as being Endeavor's son)?

C'mon Momo, you can do it!

Nice

Oh hey, a plot reason for the boob window. >_>

Happy they pulled it off. Aizawa totally went easy on her in the last minute tho.

I always pictured Bakugo as an extreme case of the tsundere trope. Like on the outside he's screaming at everyone, but on the inside he's like "I love these guys" lol

Better than Kojima's excuse for quiet, anyway.

She breathes through her skin lol

Ep 36

lmao Did Aoyama actually use Ochako's "crush' on Midoriya to their advantage? Or was that just a happy coincidence? Either way, they scored a win!

I love Kaminari and Ashido, they're are pretty much the class airheads.

So that's Neku's deal. He can cause chain reactions. And he's not a mutated human, but a mutated animal. So even animals can have Quirks in this world.

What is Koda? Is he like the Thing and made of rock or something? Nice to see him do something since he's in the background a lot. His appearance doesn't seem to relate to his power of talking to animals tho

Can't Jiro just cancel out Preset Mic? Oh, she's trying that. Didn't work.

Koda's mom. So are they just a family of monsters? >_>

Gross, but effective

I hope those are dummy bullets

Hagakure streaking saved the day. And I was waiting for that type of joke. I give credit for the anime holding out this long.

I understand, Mineta, but crying blood is a little much.

Well, time for the main event. But there's like two episodes left of the season and aren't any closer to finishing the League of Villains arc. >_>

It's one of the best arcs. Give it time.

Ep 37

Deku punches Bakugo in the face in this ep right? Please tell me he does.

K, I'll take All Might body-slamming him.

Did he just vomit milk

Oh he actually did it. :3 Good.

This was called Bakugo: Origin but we didn't get much origin at all. :p

It feels wrong seeing Deku punch All Might. I know it's to pass this test but still. Boy worships him so much.

Well they passed. Now it's the League of Villains and the season 2 finale

---

Ep 38

Stitchface and Toga. Can't wait to see what they do. Villain never get along, do they.

Class shopping trip! Good to see they hang out as friends. Except Bakugo but that's expected.

Malls aren't extinct in MHA's world. Lucky them.

Bad touch! Deku needs an adult!

So that's what he looks like without the hand mask thing. I thought he'd be scarred or instead he just looks like he's in serious need of moisturizer.

The mall is called Wookies! I love these Star Wars nods.

Yeah, bystanders, just ignore this guy with his hand grabbing a kid's neck.

I don't think that was lesson you were supposed to get out of that, Shigaraki.

Lots of setup for the next season. I'm guessing season 3 starts with the camping trip. As for this season, I really enjoyed it. Both halves, the tournament and the internships were entertaining, especially the back half where they faced Stain. Fights were really good, and seeing Midoriya's growth was awesome. Can't wait to see more villain fights with him. Last few eps with just the practical exams feel like it coulda been one episode instead of 3-4, but eh, that's shonen for you. Overall a 8/10.

Probably gonna take a break for real now so I don't burn out.

Ivynn posted...

Not exactly. His quirk is literally being a genius. He can make insane calculations on the fly and understand the effect it will have.

Which he can use to cause chain reactions, but that's not the only thing he can do.

It was on purpose.

Aoyama is largely a pretty unimportant character, but he does get some really fun moments across the series. He can step up when he really needs to.

Next season is one of the best, for sure. You're in for good shit. Season 4 is also awesome. That's as far as I've watched, actually; I took a break to let more episodes build. Need to find some time to catch up.

---

I love/hate Aoyama. He's so weird, but he has one of my fave moments in the series lol And I love how he's always aware of where the camera is.

At least whenever they take time to show off everyone in the class like that, it's entertaining to see them all use their Quirks or strategies in interesting ways. Just kinda doubling down on the fact there's no real bad character in Deku's class.

He's honestly one of my favorites, if not my outright favorite character. I find his absurdities to be really endearing and hilarious, and his big moments are great.

Season 5 has some great moments, but I would say it's the weakest. It's also the season that makes the most departures from source material.

It also introduces the big 3, who I wish got more focus.

Last thing we heard it was the teachers concluding that none of the students are guilty, and that was a few arcs ago already. Tbh at this point I wouldn't be surprised if it was just AFO being able to sometimes look through Deku's OFA and relaying info like that

it's possible that the traitor is loyal specifically to One For All, rather than to the League of Villains. thus, while he was in prison, they weren't super active

except the traitor comment was in reference to the LoV and not AfO. It's never been brought back up again, even in the manga, and there's no evidence to support there being a traitor other than Hawks, who wasn't actually a traitor.

the traitor comment being in reference to the LoV doesn't mean the traitor was directly affiliated with them.

and... the evidence for a traitor in the first place is that they knew the students would be there, which meant they had insider information. a traitor (specifically a mole; that is, someone who was working for All for One all along) is the simplest explanation for that

There is literally no proof of that. It's a one off line from one of the first arcs in the series that the teachers dismissed, and has never been brought up again.

The plot point has been dropped. This isn't some 4D Qanon stuff. When you pump out a chapter a week for years and years, sometimes things get dropped. Especially when they're from super early in the series when it is first finding it's footing.
