I am not a tactical genius

Neither are they. That's why they act the way they do. These are street-thugs. Random punks and low-level criminals rounded up by the villain alliance to give them some mass of numbers to throw at everyone when they launch this attack. None of them know how to work together, none of them are very good at what they do, only a couple people in the entire attacking force of villains are what could be called "professional villains." The water villains acted like amateurs because they are.
So which is that?They are street tugs came here for some fun?Or a group of villains made a plan good enough to kill strongest guy on earth?

If first is true,a street thug wouldnt be cautious of a high schooler and charge in mindlessly...

If latter is true, they have a REALLY bad plan...I mean REALLY...

Either way they are more stupid than any random Slash-em-all character you kill over thousands of times...

A small group of villains made a plan to kill All Might. They collected as many random nobodies who had powers and liked to break the law as they could find, and told them basically "hey, we're attacking a class at that superhero school, we'll split the kids up so you can mob 'em; kill anyone you find. But remember that they are superhero candidates, so be careful." The professional villains have a theoretically workable plan to take down All Might. The assumption is that the garbage mobs should be good enough to take down the kids, so long as there are enough of them.

Why did Deku said "Do it like Kacchan!" Before he made the smash? LOL nice tactic from Deku.

I really wonder how All might and Deku decide on the name of the smash...why is a flick Delaware or Texas a full blown punch? Can any Americans explain to me if this have any subtle meaning to you guys? Is it the land size or else?

Anyway, really nice animation on the action scenes this episode. Love the tension and how the kids cope up, you can really feel they are the future heroes in training. 😍😍


you can google it. its quite easy. I'm not American, and had same question before.
this is Delaware, a SMALL state

they are being cautious. because those villains have an advantage in the water. plus they don't know the students' quirks. so they want the students to attack first, so they get an idea of what their quirks are, so they can counter that. that's why when deku acted like kacchan by charging heads on, the villains were smirking.
I am not a tactical genius but even i know that not giving enemy a chance to come up with a plan takes priority over being cautious.....

Villains' biggest advantage is the fact that its a surprise attack,when you make a surprise attack it means you have a plan while enemy doesnt,which gives you the upper hand...If your plan is seperating enemy AND WAITING,DOING NOTHING until they come up with a plan of their own,im sorry but that plan is plain bad...

from what i've seen, their plan is separating them and overwhelm them with sheer numbers. their plan to fight the kids will change accordingly to their quirks. and the villains who attacked deku's group all have water-related quirks. so they can't go on the boat. so their only way is to fight the students in the water. they can do it two ways. 1. break the boat and cause them to fall in the water. or 2. wait for the kids to make a move first so they can find out about their quirks, then they repeat 1.

unfortunately, the kids didn't make a move, so the villains were forced to go with 1. and because they didn't know the kids' quirks, they are unable to come up with a counterattack in time and so they lost.

your logic is correct that surprise attacks should be SURPRISE. but if the villains just charge head on without knowing their opponents' quirks, then they're acting unprepared like shounen mcs and people will call them stupid.

This is exactly what i am saying...They SHOULD've destroyed the boat right away before their opponents came up with some sort of strategy and they have the upper hand in water...
Destroying the boat right away doesnt have any disadvantage to villains...And this is such a simple thing that even stupidest thug would've been able to think so...

perhaps we're not thinking along the same line. if im them, i'd find out about the kids' quirks first, then attack them. plus, i see children, especially wanna-be heroes, as hotheaded brats like naruto who would take any chance to show their strength (cough cough bakugou and the steel guy who attacked the shadow villain without a plan).

Kinda slow episode.
We got cool teamwork with Deku and Mineta at the end, not to mention some build up for some fights that might happen next week with the "main" villains. Tsuyu is winning best girl contest with this episode ^-^ XD
We also got some characterization for Mineta... he is "okay" i guess. Just the comical pervert, not a big fan of him for now. Overall good episode just felted rather slow paced.

LoL Grape-kun is jokes, what kind of quirk is that. How did he even get accepted lol.

But seriously how did this shoe not immediately get green-lit for at least 26 episodes. 13 isn't enough at all. I best see a season 2 (and 3 and 4)

Aizawa is awesome and Deku continues to impress me.

The mangaka addressed that issue in an extra page in volume 2. Basically, he used his Quirk to immobilize the robots by sticking them to the ground, or plugging up their muzzles, etc. The problem though is that it in a real fight, the opponent would be able to read his attacks easily.

Not saying they should attack children without learning their quirks,i am saying they should attack the boat before learning children's quirks....because no mater what,their enemies being inside water instead of ON water would be advantegous for a water specialised villain team...

Honestly, I find it as much a waste of time to think about this as it is to think about why having conversations while falling down buildings can even occur. Trying to apply logic to some things isn't worth the time, it's what suspension of disbelief is for.

Either way, they're just random mooks picked up off the street for this operation. It should be evident that they're just randoms by how easily Aizawa can take on like 50 people at once.

Shouto being OP again
Mineta's perverted mind
Deku using his brain
Deku and Mineta's power combo

Tsuyu is definitely the best girl. She's really strong, works well with Deku, and I loved how she just spoke whatever was on her mind last episode. It was awesome to see Deku strategize! And it was funny when he told himself to be like Kacchan when he did his Delaware Smash. And Mineta was able to actually be helpful despite obviously being the comedic pervert. It's really sad this isn't long-running. 3 more episodes just doesn't seem like enough!

Just recently started reading the manga, and really my only gripe about this episode is that I thought Mineta was done better in the manga for the whole end part. there was a lot of comedy there that I felt was lost a little bit in the anime.

That Punk Hazard dude was really cocky, just because he's too OP with half fire & ice quirk. Didn't like him but kinda like Bakugou more now that he's teaming up with the red hair dude (forget his name).

Btw Midoriya ffs can you stop with your scared crybaby expression already..!?? The show's almost over and you still show that kind of face every episode ╮(¬_¬)╭

I wouldn't say they're underdeveloped, just inexperienced. I mean when you look at Tsuyu, Bakugou, class rep, or that ice guy their quirks are definitely not underdeveloped. So far only Izuku who can't really control his quirk and that Mineta guy who doesn't know what to do with his quirk. The rest seems pretty in control.

Isn't that more of an assumption on your part? We don't know whether a person with an electric quick would have or wouldn't have enough time to come up with an effective way to use his electric quirk. For all we know, that person could be great and effective in working in a short amount of time.

For example, there's Todoroki, the one with the ice and fire quirk. He's very quick thinking and pretty powerful. In a situation such as the one Deku found himself in, the moment the boat was destroyed, he could have frozen the water in a split second. Stopping his enemies on their tracks.

Then, attacking the boat on the enemies part wouldn't have been a smart idea after all, right? Then, giving themselves the time to first observe the students in the slight possibility of finding out whether there is or isn't someone with a strong quirk on the boat, could have given them a better chance of counter attacking, right?

Look...i dont understand why we keep talking about same thing...There is NO demerit to luring the enemy into your territory,in this case their strongest territory IS WATER...Right?Thats why they throw them to water section right?

Then can you tell me how on earth throwing enemy INSIDE water where you can OBSERVE them better while they cant speak or think properly is a bad idea...

Even Todoroki,in your example would come up with a better plan in time,because this is not a 1v1 fight,there are 3 students so even if one of them is a genius if you strike fast they will not be able to counterattack as a team...If you do not give them time to chitchat and think that is...

The action this episode was pretty good. Aizawa is awesome. The ending part with Deku, Tsuyu, and Mineta was both funny & cool. And Todoroki is getting more screen time, which is great.

Gah, I'm excited to see the next 3 episodes, but I'm also sad there's only 3 more episodes left. Hopefully there will be a 2nd season, & we don't have to wait too long for it to come out (though I'll probably start reading the manga before then).

YES...Because they broke the ship anyways...they just gave enemy time to think...They didnt learn about their quirks,they didnt gain anything they just simply broke the ship few minutes later without no reason...If Todoroki has ability to freeze water he will still freeze it,but he will have a better plan with his team...

They attacked when they found out their observation bore no fruit, but they wouldn't have known if they hadn't observed first. Deciding to first attack and not observe first already seals their fate--the same cannot be said by choosing observation first.

You're talking about the outcome, disregarding the process that lead to it. Had they attacked without observing and was someone like Todoroki on board, their loss was guarenteed. Had they taking the option of observing, possibly finding out Todoroki's quirk, they could have planned against it; a few of them distracting Todoroki while the others made their escape to a place they could fight properly, for example. There are several of imaginable ways to fight against Todoroki's quirk, had they have gotten the chance to find out his abilities. They wouldn't know whether they do or do not have a shot at winning, if they don't observe their enemies first. Who even jumps straight into danger without knowing what they're going against; are you asking to get killed?

It's weighing two unfavorable possibilities and choosing the one that could bear the most success (keyword ''could''). I can't believe you have trouble understanding why a person would first observe instead of jumping in the unknown, and why choosing the latter FIRST is the most unfavorable of the two.
...At least let me finish.

look...
-Observing someone until they reveal their capacities IS a plan and i can understand
-Rushing to attack them like a mad man IS a plan even if it is a reckless one,i can understand this too

>Waiting few minutes and THEN attacking WITHOUT gaining anything is NOT a plan,it is not logical,and stupid even for a brainless street thug...


I never said they should attack and get killed,i am saying destroying boat EARLIER has no demerit,but lots of merits...They should have attacked the boat,not the students...BECAUSE NO MATTER WHAT KIND OF QUIRK STUDENTS HAVE,VILLAINS ARE MORE POWERFUL IN THE WATER...THAT IS A FACT...

Just picture a pokemon battle...In a water arena, a water pokemon is against a mysterious pokemon...You dont know what other pokemon has...Would having that mysterious pokemon inside the water have any demerits?If that pokemon is an electric pokemon you will be dead anyway,if not you will increase your chance by 10 times because you are a frickin Magikarp...

It's because their observation bore no fruit, that's why they attacked. Observation was their plan and it didn't work, so they chose the plan with the most risk (plan b, attacking the boat) because there was no other option. Plan 'a' had failed.

And the latter of your statement is no fact at all. There are quirks out there that are more powerful when in contact with water, as I have said several of times. Electricity would have knocked them out. Ice would have frozen them and restricted their movements. And that's just the tip of the iceberg.

Just picture a pokemon battle...In a water arena, a water pokemon is against a mysterious pokemon...You dont know what other pokemon has...Would having that mysterious pokemon inside the water have any demerits?If that pokemon is an electric pokemon you will be dead anyway,if not you will increase your chance by 10 times because you are a frickin Magikarp...


It's exactly because you don't know what that mysterious pokemon is capable of that throwing him in the water could have its demerits, if that pokemon has an ability that is stronger than water.

And it's because you don't know what they can do, that you observe them and increase your chance of finding out what they could and counter attacking. Only when that plan fails to bear fruit, then you attack, but only after. You don't attack first until you know that 'plan a' didn't work.

I am frickin done...I pointed out countless times in this thread that they did not prevent children from touching water,they only made them touch the water after they made a plan...

This is exactly what i am saying,they screwed up big time...You cant change a plan after you made your mind...They screwed,they fckd up big tme,they made a stupid decision,they lost....WHICH IS LITERALLY THE ONLY THING I AM SAYING...They should have stick with a plan till the end...They didnt thus they frickin lost...Changing plans midway OBVIOUSLY didnt work...Did you watch the episode?

Who gives a shit whether they weren't prevented from touching the water or how they were made to? It's about the possibility that there could have been students with quirks on the boat that could still wreck the villians by being thrown into the water, as you have said so many times. Even if water is the villians territory, it doesn't mean it doesn't have any weakness; electricity and ice being a few of them. It doesn't mean they wouldn't still get their asses handed to them.

Of course you can change a damned plan if you find out it's not bearing any fruit. They're running with a time limit and they're aiming for success.

Did you watch the episode? It wasn't the change of plan that didn't work; it's Deku's tactics that became their downfall.

So you wouldn't think Todoroki who gets thrown in the water, freezes it including their limbs--which restricts their movements--is a demerit?
So you wouldn't think Todoroki who gets thrown in the water, freezes it including their limbs would not freeze his allies as well in the process?

With enough time to plan, he should be able to defeat the villains without harming his allies.

Someone has forgotten he also has his fire quirk... Or the episode in which Todoroki has already proven that he is capable of freezing people and thawing it without hurting them (thought it were only their legs), during that lesson with All Might as their teacher for example.

in shounen every villains have a cease fire while MC is thinking of a plan to defeat them. Once the MC is done they attack which obviously fail bcuz they let the MC think of a plan. It is not always thinking up of plans though sometimes there will be flashbacks. Basically shounen fights are shit and thinking is a free action.

Sure, a lot of shounen fights have this concept, but in regards to this particular fight that happened, there was an actual reason for their hesitance. Logically speaking, people don't jump in the unknown--so to speak--without trying to find out what they're dealing with. It's a sure way to get yourself killed.

I really don't get why this is doing so bad in Japan. It's easily in my top 3 this season alongside Re:Zero and Jojo. Epic soundtrack as usual, well-animated action, likeable characters, a true BONES color palette, great voice acting... Hopefully it does well enough to earn a second season at the very least.


MHA has some shonen clichés BUT Deku is "not" as "cool" as your regular well-loved MC by the Nip audience. Maybe that's a reason.

Maybe people see know why Tsuyu is best girl. She's just so likeable all-around, and Aoi Yuuki is absolutely killing it as her VA to make her character even better. Lol @ Mineta also. "For a frog, you have surprisingly large boobs".


Tsuyu is best gril. And will always be. Hopefully she'll win the Midoriya bowl. BUT how about giving some love to this Punk rock DFC?
