| Ragdoll is back! Good to see her back in high spirits. Reflecting back on the past, they can never forget that AFO stole her quirk. The drama surrounding Aoyama is complicated as he has been with his class for so long and never really stood out as a 'traitor' until now. Reflecting on this episode, it's interesting how being described a hero is about. Episode did a good job at capturing the raw emotions imo. |
 |
| After the most unremarkable twist in a rather, what is and what will be, an unremarkable arc, the writing here is practically begging us to feel sorry for Aoyama, emphasizing just how much this weird as fuck guy has suffered all his life lol. Of course, these guys being the model anime characters have already judged him innocent. Fucking stupid, though anyways, seeing Hatsume after a while was the first and only good change this season. I mean it took them a very long while to come to the realisation that they should not fight AFO and Shigaraki at the same time lol. This masterful planning and scheming from All Might aside, I’m feeling very infuriated how they’d simply redeem Aoyama saying he helped us pinpoint the location of AFO. That’s just how simply characters get redemption in this series, even after pulling one heinous crime after another, sigh. |

| It's great to see that Hatsume's defining characteristic is still very well intact. After Deku's desperate plea to Aoyama, Tsukauchi instructs Tamakawa to cover Aoyama's mouth. He reminds Deku that despite the circumstances, Aoyama conspired with AFO, and there's still uncertainty about whether he's been booby-trapped like Lady Nagant. Therefore, they cannot allow him to speak again until he's thoroughly examined at Central Hospital. Tsukauchi continues interrogating Aoyama's parents, who reveal that they didn’t inform AFO about the Kamino Incident since they could only communicate with him when he reached out to them. I'm not thrilled with how the students reacted. It feels like someone should've been more upset. Bakugo's anger was there, but it was sort of brushed off. Even though he's a victim, he still put everyone in danger twice. And their plan to brainwash All For One seems like a long shot. Plus, the way fire can counter their plan feels forced since we know Dabi's fire isn't that powerful here. But I did like the honest talk between Aizawa and Aoyama. They have a plan; now it's time to enact it. |

| Seeing Mei again was the highlight of the episode for me. Only other girl than Ochako I would like to see end up with Deku. Anyways, Aoyama still gets no pity from me. Someone should have given him hell but alas no one did. |
| Do they want me to be serious or laugh with these mood changes lol? Iida and Midoriya's face reminds me of the lemon meme that's been really popular in Japan lately Scene after credits. Class 1-B let's go! Always loved the moments in MHA where characters from a while ago show up again. |
 |
Things are brewing splendidly, can’t wait to see more characters return to the screen. Lemon meme |
| the gadgets chick is back with her classic booba gag of falling on deku huh. i completely forgot about the pussycats gang. |
 |
| divide and conquer is the plan against the villains but damn this episode feels so slow |
| Mostly a dialog-focused episode centered on Aoyama's situation. That part of Eraser Head's speech "I won't expell you" made me laugh, but other than that, I didn't feel anything else. Seeing Hatsume-san again was nice (and she seems a little more mature than last time), and judgin by the tropes, their plan will succeed, since we didn't hear its explanation. Next episode's title "let you down" is a verb prhase, but it is not conjugated. The full phrase could be "I won't let you down" or "I did let you down". I hope it is the former. |

TOO MUCH SAUCE 🥶💯 |

| Like others, I'm having trouble taking any of this seriously. Aoyama, pretty much one of the most underdeveloped characters? I think? And at the same time one of the most extra of them all.... having gotten that twist, outta absolutely nowhere - I think, my memory's hazy and fragmented at best, but either way... a little too much. It's not that I don't like him, I've just never found a reason to really care for him either, yet now this whole Plot Twist™️ is really milking not only him but his entire family. On top of that, the stylistic changes that are now front and center so much and so often - smaller details to be sure, except for how built and mature Aoyama himself suddenly looks now... I'm sorry, I just can't take any of it seriously. And to me, feeling this sort of disconnect is one of the worst red flags. The episode itself wasn't bad, putting aside the usual manga/anime tropes, it's obvious we're getting a dose of silly with the gloom, and trying to give everyone (one last?) on-screen appearance before the storm, including some returners. The balancing overall works well, at least, for a few scenes we can switch off from the weight that is Aoyama. Even Aizawa's philosophy at the end there is a good attitude for a teacher to have. |
| HATSUME’S BACK!!! Man, it has been so long since we’ve seen her, I can’t even remember when the last time was lol, but I can still remember how much I like her, i remember when I first got into MHA back in 2018 I thought Jiro would be my best girl of the show, but Hatsume appeared in Season 2 and she became my favorite and she still is. And her scene was unfortunately pretty short here like her appearances have been since her time in that first tournament arc, but it was still the highlight of the episode for me, I love seeing how she’s still doing what she loves while all this war stuff has been going on, because it’s as she said, for the support course this is their hero work. But enough simping for Hatsume, the rest of the episode was pretty interesting as well, I liked seeing Nejire again alongside Fat Gum, Ryukyu and Tamaki during that one scene, Nejire with short hair looking cute for sure. I also liked seeing the planning for taking on the villains, the fact that the only chance they have of winning is keeping them separated just goes to show how strong the villains are, if they’re able to fight alongside each other it’s game over, it’ll be interesting to see how they manage that. And the last scene between Aoyama and Aizawa was nice, Aizawa might not sugarcoat anything but he definitely means well and wants to help his student, Aoyama really is lucky he has such good people around him. And lastly there was that after credits scene, love seeing Shinso again, this episode is giving me lots of Season 2 nostalgia lol, I’m looking forward to seeing how he gets involved. |
Reply to Xeehad
These episodes are giving 'filler' vibes. I hope things escalate quickly from here on!
| @Xeehad None of this is filler, do people not know what filler actually means anymore 💀 |
| People on MAL refuse to actually enjoy watching anime. Your taste in anime isn't a personality trait. |
| Of course it had to happen again. I guess his danger sense doesn't work on her because she is predictably unpredictable. I still thought even with his character development since he would still freak out over that similar situation. That meow by Hawks was completely unexpected lol. |
| Another solid episode, imo this one flew by. I thought it was pretty silly, but also serious and entertaining. Tbh if you're not a manga reader then I don't want to hear any hate about this season so far, just shut up and be patient. The upcoming fights are gonna be epic, and I think it's a good thing that they're slowing down and trying to include everyone before the big fights, bc I know that it's just gonna be a couple main fighters for like the majority of the season, until they all pull up to help deal the final blows. I'm super excited for the rest of this season, I cant wait to see all these fights animated, cause they are definitely some of the best in the entire series (other than All Might vs AFO). |
 |
| Oh look, much more side characters showing up with each of their own contribution. Looking forward to see Shinsou development tho, he seems ready to rock next. Also, Aizawa and his role as a teacher giving a solid idea of how they gonna do something about Aoyama. But still its also depends on how the league of villains react to the current situation about the void that being left out. Shall they take the heroes initiatives again? |
 Hide and seek is the best offline games on this fatamorgana-called-world-thing. Please comment nicely. I am newbie here. I'm level  on mal-badges. View my badges  |
| More one disappointed episode, where is the emotion in this supposed drama, Looking back i never thought the it will be necessary drop off MHA, the start of the show was very promising, but in the lasts seasons the anime don't get anything right. |

@thebrentinator24 Tell me when did I said these are fillers ? It's frustrating when people don't read comments properly before replying.
| @Xeehad Well when you say it gives filler vibes that would naturally lead one to assume you're at least implying this is filler. |
| People on MAL refuse to actually enjoy watching anime. Your taste in anime isn't a personality trait. |
| Good emotional episode! |

| Damn. It's been a hot minute since we last saw Hatsume. I don't think she was in the last season, was she? It seems like she has been living under a rock all this time. But considering how good she's at her job it's probably for the best. I totally understand why the kids want to help Aoyama. They're his friends. Idk if it's realistic for ALL of them to be forgiving but it does make sense that most of them would want to help Aoyama. And Aizawa wants to help him too. All that being said, he's still a criminal and he would need to get punished in some way. If not then it'd be stupid. At least he can repay by taking part in this new operation to get All for One and Shigaraki. |
 Peak episode right now. |
| Some ok moments but mostly boring melodrama that didn't click. |
 |
| Hatsume makes her appearence once again and I won't deny that I'm jealous of Midoriya of having Hatsume crash into him in that fashion. The fact that he mentioned his danger sense not working for this did make me chuckle. XD Most of this episode was more focused on building up towards the inevitable final battle, where we got to see the students of 1-A voice out their reasons for supporting Aoyama. I do feel for him, but I do still see him and his parents being punished and contributing to society in due time. Still, I did enjoy the scene with Aoyama and Aizawa, where the latter was voicing out how he wants to help as much as he can. My respect for him grows higher because of that. |
| Ida looks like Batman with that fit |
 |
| Seeing Aizawa, Tamaki-senpai and Shinsou in this episode gave me butterflies. Also since I'm not a manga-reader, I'm looking forward as to what will be Aoyama's role in this mission |
