| Now this is what I call a real BnHA episode. Got me all fired up for the action again. Love how they use the soundtracks in the action scenes, really gets me pumped. Also, the scene where Uraraka gets conscious of Deku was hilarious. Hoping to see more development in their relationship |

| I really liked the episode. I can’t wait for the summer camp training though and see Kouta’s role in later episodes. |
| Next episode will be tough! Thank god In havent read the manga yet! |

| great episode, enjoyed it!! is next episode an filler? |
 |
| Ugh can they just get rid of Mineta please, he's ruining the series. So fucking annoying. |
It's only a passing thing, this shadow. Even darkness must pass. A new day will come. And when the sun shines it will shine out the clearer. |
hnnng, that bath house scene. |
| Finally this arc has started. I'm so hyped! Also I really like the opening now! :D |
| I bet Kota's father is still alive and became that villain Dabi in the last scene. Just because they have the same hairstyle which is pretty obvious in most anime. We'll see that in the next episode |

Hope UA actually looks into a student's personality before accepting them into ANY course. Mineta is the perfect material for a future rapist, or shall I say, Grapist.ttcchen said: CUTENESS OVERLOAD AHHHHH!!!   So it seems that they changed the manga scene...  Im pretty sure in the manga class 1-A met Monoma by himself in that classroom... I don't remember his whole class showing up in this arc... And Monoma. Dude. You need to chill.  Him and Mineta are both characters there for comedic purpose, but Monoma is WAY MORE tolerable and lovable. Mineta's just plain gross. Like Kouta said, learn to be a decent human being first. I seriously wish the mangaka would kick Mineta out of class 1-A and allow Shinsou to transfer.  I know this is a joke but Mineta got on the Hero Course due to the entrance exams. As Aizawa said, the entrance exams gave a huge advantage to those with physical Quirks like Bakugo, Iida, Midoriya, etc who could attack the robots. Mineta got through by disabling the robots using his sticky balls just like he did to the Forest Beasts this episode. Shinsou never had a chance of getting onto the Hero Course with the disadvantage of his Quirk not being able to affect the robots. However, Japanese schools change up their classes with every year, so not only do I expect some members from the Hero Course to change in Sophomore year with members from Class 1-B changing into Midoriya's class, and vice versa, I also expect Shinsou to be moved onto the Hero Course. The biggest question is how Hagakure got on the Hero Course given her Quirk is invisibility. |
| Great episode! I cant take people who say "BnHA is just another shounen" serious, this is how shounen should be, bad never was. I start to feel mineta is not already in prison just because hes small, like, really small. Nobody takes him serious. Once hes an adult he will become a sexuel offender immediately. |

lmao my fav scenes from this episode were definitely:  |
 |
| Hmm let's see what we get outa Kota. |
| this should have been the season 3 premiere! the Pussycat girl characters were really cute, I'm looking forward to seeing more of them in the future! <3 the part at the end with the new villain characters got me excited too, I hope we get to see them make a move soon! |
| You gotta love the banter between Todoroki and Bakugo. It's hilarious. What isn't funny though is Mineta and his perverted ways. I just wish he would grow up already and stop acting like a child. He's definitely the most disappointing of all the heroes in Class A. |
 |
| Pretty good episode. Like how their training starts pretty early by going against what the Wild Wild Pussycats have for them in the forest. Kota seems like an interesting kid and it was pretty funny when he hit Deku in the sack, poor guy. Ochako so cute as well. Am looking forward to the next episode. |
 |
| Mineta is forced comic relief character, and its so lame. This series has some good fights but really, I just can't get into this kiddy shit anymore, and the black and white good vs bad doesn't help, this is also why I don't like those super hero series like flash, super girl etc. 3/5 wasn't a bad episode tho, just bang average. |

| OH BOI MY HERO ACADEMIA IS BACK BITTCHESSSS!!! Around December I caught up to the anime so I started to read the manga.As of right now I am about to start volume 12 and I will not spoil anything the anime hasn't adapted yet. This episode however is not as good as the manga counterparts (Chapters 70 and 71). First of all let me say this, Kota's shading in the anime doesn't feel right. Idk I'm just picky with him as he is my boi. My fave non Class A character. Hell my discord pfp is a fusion between him and Kurama and has been that way for months.This episode was full of some filler that bugged me. The forest sequence was made longer and lasted half the episode from what was a couple of manga pages. Also they changed how Deku saves Kota. In the manga he catches him and gets submerged in the water and it's really powerful, but OH NO WE CAN'T ENDANGER CHILDREN SO WE HAD TO CUT THE SCENE. But the scene with the dick punch is better in the anime. Also the added Dragon Quest reference in the forest was hilarious as Horikoshi likes Toriyama who worked on the art in those games (I own a NES copy of DQ1). 4/5 Too many changes that bug me. Best change tho is thicc Deku lemme smash. My penis is hard. Seriously its a problem |
This post is brought to you by your local transfem gamer goblin. Will not tolerate bigotry and will fight against "anti-woke" sentiment to make the anime community a safer place.  |
| What's up with Monoma? xD This was quite amusing actually, I can imagine that Kota will have an interesting development from here :P |
THANKS SENPIEX  |
| I hope we get to see more of that villain girl. I like her a lot. |
| Summer Training with Hero Style and Survival Mode on seems like one fun thing to do. But then that sad story about Kota's past... I couldn't even care about Mineta and his "instinct" in this episode. :'( |

 |
| Ahh finally going to the main plot. It's nice to see the Pussy Cats in action, can't wait to see the other two. |

It isn't just "Western feminists". Nobody likes the guy. In fact, despite being one of the more heavily featured minor characters he keeps going further and further down the popularity polls. |

christoff522 said: 1. I have no idea wtf feminist programming and #metoo attitude is and it doesnt matter cuz im neither of those. Im just hating a character thats designed in a way to either be comedy relief or flame target. And according to the character popularity polls, it's clearly the latter even for the japanese fans. The mangaka has even been questioned on this topic and he's surprised Mineta received so much hate and he designed him to be comedy relief. So stop labeling every person you come across on the internet that you don't share the same belief with titles you clearly spent so much time dwelling on. It's only a waste of time because I have my opinions and you have yours. If labeling people and calling them out on their personal opinions is a hobby of yours then I suggest you go up right through that little red X marked door and take the google express to japanese bnha forums. There you'll find many Mineta haters for you to bicker with.ttcchen said: Come on, Mineta is a pretty standard anime trope, you're taking things a little bit too far, he's there for comic relief "young lustful guy".

| awesome action as always and i already hate that brat |
 |
| And scene of the week goes for Mineta, Heheheh Best scene of the the episode! Wow Midoriya improved a lot somehow. |
jooleyhooley said: Corvus8 said: Ah yes, the actual first episode, nice. I hope we can all just pretend that the filler from last week never existed. I don't see the point of complaining about extra content. We got original scenes out of the episode. The extra content sucks donkey balls. Episode 19 of Season 2 and OVA2 are the same. Fanservice and fillers are cancer of the anime industry. But apparently you don't mind and are entertained by that shit. |
 |
| "He fainted because of the fall" He fainted because of the TITTIES I can't believe people are complaining about Mineta, he's nothing new, his type of character exists in so many other anime. You have to be either a newcomer or really sensitive if you're THAT bothered about grape boy's existence |

| Eps 40 Ahhhhh so good. Midoriya, Bakugou, Iida, Todoroki top fighters. As expected we finally see some good action from them. The first Iida Bakugou attack seemed to be animated by Takashi Mitani? Also loled at the onsen scene. Poor Mineta can't catch a break lately lol. Interesting background from new side characters too. A kid who hates heroes huh? I'm wondering if Midoriya could change his opinion. Also, villain attack is coming... |
| Oh, another training arc? Gee, the amount of ideas on display here is truly stunning >.>. I thought Season 2 was already boring, stale and generic, but it seems that they're trying to beat their previous speed-record this time around >.>. |
| Nice! We're back to the usual quality content from Boku no Hero. Anticipating a lot for the next episode. |

It's not my favourite, but I like the show. It's a slight buzzkill when you're expectant of the story if you've read the manga, but it's still enjoyable content. When I rewatch/binge the seasons in the future, I'll enjoy re-seeing the pool stuff. I'm not going to dramatically complain about extra content, especially since we got original scenes out of it. With that said, it was nice to finally get into the main story too. I just don't see why people treat the first episode like it's a federal crime, just don't watch it if you see it's a recap and not to your liking. It's not that much of a big deal. |
 |
| Kota is new Inari from Naruto. |
| Very good episode. All the good content is ahead of us. I did have some issue with some parts of the manga being cut and a few things added. But overall good. AND MINA WAS EVEN MORE FULL EXPOSED. I love it. |

| There's something I want to add which I just realized. The little kid in this episode is pretty much a copy paste of the kid in episode 10 of Naruto. I knew I recognized that behavior. Anyway, I doubt it's intentional though, having a kid hating on heroes because their parents were killed by villains isn't really something uncommon to see in anime. |
