Personally, I think the IQ quirk used by Saiko is one of the most unique ones so far. It felt more like a mind games between the two sides this week.

Momo really impressed me though with her thinking and taking the risk to ultimately allow her team to secure the victory.

Heh, Bakugo is still a hothead by rushing into battle as usual. Very expected of him. I also agree with Eraser Head about the two guys he mentioned about Class A. Not bad, this arc has so far been rather entertaining.

Glad to see the forums are back, now to get back into it.

Momo really showed she's one of the smarter students of class 1-A by pulling off that victory. It was a very risky tactic though.

Bakugo really just keeps being the hothead he is. Their opponents quirk though, it looks rather disturbing and reminds me of something very unpleasant.

Isn't Saiko's quirk similar to Nezu's (Principal of UA)?

This is a filler episode done right. I didn't really care for this arc in the manga, nice to see Bones changing my mind here in the anime.

I was really hoping for the forums to be restored before the United States of Smash episode to see reactions here, but better late than never.

this is why

Episode 17 - chapter 106 : Class 1-A (one chapter adapted)

the anime adapts an average of 2 chapters per episode.
there are 15 remaining chapters left for this arc.
8 reaming episodes.

it airs on a 25 TV time slot in Japan.

do the math.

the Endeavor fight from season 2 was also anime original content.

As always, 10/10 xD
Amazing episode, gotta love episodes like these where there are multiple fights happening at the same time.

Momo surprised me so much, she outplayed that girl! Glad that she thought about a different way to save everyone because in the end they also saved her ;)

Todoroki as always, came and won xD Now let’s wait for Bakugou but it will be probably similar haha

The ending of the eps was so great, Eraser is right, they don’t realize how important they are and with every episode we can clearly see them, when their class don’t know what to do they always think “what would Midoriya/Bakugou done in this case?”.

Can’t wait for more!

So far, this arc is extremely avarage. The only reason why this show is having a 8.87 right bow is thanks to the first arc. But this new one is by far the worst one of the series. It is almost 100% characters fanservices, and no story progress. The All for One arc give the viewer a feeling of tension on almost every moment, but on this arc there isn't any tension anymore

Shoto was such a lone wolf in this episode. He separated from the pack and he’s the first one to pass from UA, as expected from a recommended student. However, it’s kind of boring when it’s just him, I like seeing his interactions with his friends. He even got a side eye from Inasa. I bet Todoroki doesn’t give a fuck.

I’m glad how this episode focused on Momo together with Shoji, Froppy and Headphone Jack. I love them all. I love how they were all inspired and influenced by their classmates like Deku.

I can’t wait for the next episode. I’m sure it’s going to be awesome with Bakugou and Denki. LOL at Kirishima for turning into a blob of human flesh. He just looks like something Junji Ito would shit out.

LOL at Seiji Shishikura for being insecure about his slanted eyes. He should get double eyelid surgery that’s really popular in many East Asian countries such as South Korea, Japan and China if he’s so worried about them.

It was an enjoyable filler.

Ahaha I think I'm in love hahaha

The guy Bakugo and the others were up against had a pretty gross Quirk. Like, I'm just glad he wants to be a hero.

Anyway, I thought this was a fun episode. I don't really care if it's filler or whatevs.

Good on Momo, Jirou, Tsuyu, and Shoji for passing the test. Only 40 spots left!

That dude from Shiketsu High has such a gross quirk. His attitude kinda sucks too, I wouldn't want to be him tbh...

3 seasons in, I don’t know why people want another tense arc. It’s nice to have balance in the show between more school focused arcs like this and the more dramatic,conflict driven arcs like the first half of this season.

This whole license competition thing is just too intense and everyone is fighting and shit and I'm lying if I said it's not fun nor entertaining because it is but it got me thinking that this is what Stain is fighting. This whole rigged system of superheroes that are now prefessions that you need to prove yourself for before you become one and of course as any profession there's compensation. Why does one need a license to be a superhero? Why can't just anyone even those quirkless types just do something good for others and not get money for it and still be considered as heroes? Because as it is now everyone takes being a hero seriously not because they enjoy helping those in need, it's because it's their job, with All Might as the only exception and also Deku. Stain for president goddammit!

This is personally one of my favorite episodes in terms of seeing how each group of students are working together with their quirks. That IQ shiz really had me on edge most of the time. This battle is getting intense!!

Of course, there would be a character with a quirk to increase their IQ. This one's quite a unique ability that is similar to Sato's quirk in a way since Sato eats sugary things to get stronger whereas Saiko has to drink Tea and close her eye to increase her IQ which is already goddamn high! Interesting...

I am utterly amazed at Momo's plan which successfully capacitated pretty much every enemy in that building. She along with the other quite literally made Saiko, the IQ girl submit and admit to UA'S SUPERIOR INTELLECT! Only now did she finally ever used that book momo always has on her back in battle.

After the last episode I really thought Todoroki would have had more problems.

So we finally got someone with an IQ quirk. Sai has 150 IQ and her qurik make it even higher even if it's funny that she has to drink black tea and close her eyes for it.

I also liked these mindgames between Sai and Momos team. Sai's plan overall was pretty solid and it seems there's nothing Momo an Co. could do. I was thinking maybe about a drill to get 1 floor lower but that wouldn't had helped to much. So Momo's idea was perfect.

Bakugo reckless as always was looking for opponents. But what in the actuall fuck happened to Kirishima. He transformed into a weird looking mass. And now Bakugo has to fight someone of the Shiketsu.

Aizawas speech at the end was nice and he's totally right. Midoriya and Bakugo by far have the most impact on class 1-A. I'm so excited to see how this will go on.

That all girls school was ridiculous. A formula for the best way to defeat enemies.
They shoot the windows which magically become all foggy (watch the glass on the top that is actually physically disconnected from the panels on the bottom) but don't shatter entirely. And then the next moment that girl shoots through that glass with pinpoint accuracy. Oh and they also hacked the buildings infrastructure. (Why do they even have shutters? To protect against typhoons?) Yeah, alright.



And all that trouble to eliminate 4 opponents. That was one lame setup for a fight.

One of the weakest episodes so far.
