| Lmao shooting horns from your head. What a dumb quirk. Her Japanese is also super foreign sounding. |
| This is probably my favorite battle of the arc because we get to see Iida, Todoroki, AND Tetsutetsu in action. I think the balance of Class A's team and the fact that Class B only has combat fighters in this round is so interesting too. Despite Class B seemingly having a disadvantage in that aspect they've actually overpowered Class A so far. Seeing that flashback to Iida giving his engines an upgrade made me wince - the way he pulls the engines out 😨 |
 |
| i remember a post about there will be some cool sakuga scenes in this episode, and there's none. when it ended I was like "What the fuck? that's it?", huge disappointment. but judging from the next episode's previews, I guess those scenes will be in the next episode. |
| If Sen wanted he could easily 1 v 3 team A and only Todoroki would win him, sincehis quirk is like a drill, if he applied enough speed to his arms and legs he could cut the enemies in half or in more chunks. And Pony is an excellent support. Liked how they interact with each other. And yes... Sen can probably rotate his tongue and his other part. |
 |
| The match did not start until 12 minutes in... I'm not a fan of this pacing. Thought I do like this battle a lot :D |
 |
| Todoroki finally gets a chance to shine, but this is not going to be an easy match as Class B has some counters to their quirks. I think Class A wins this match next week. |
 |
| So this is Class Reps time. Their team is well balanced as Deku said. They are the tough looking ones from the class. Their opponents are also quite good but compared to them their opponents are not that good to defeat all of them. But I think it depends on how they do it. Tetsutetsu and the softening guy are really the main problem. Softening guy is really quite a thinker. Must admit that he started the better than anyone on each team. But I still don't think there is a chance for them. 1-A is hiding their true form till now. Better watch it next time. Looks like it won't be that easy at it seemed. |
| Decent episode Seeing Endeavor being left on read like that was actually very hilarious, and he's so persistent with his messaging too. I'm really looking forward to see more development between the Todoroki's. Apart from that, this episode was somewhat bland. |
 |
| Well it wasn’t as bad as the last episode, but it is still plagued by the same problems. To much time wasted on flashbacks and recaps. The art and animation takes a dip occasionally, like with how Endevor looked. Even the OST sounds bad sometimes. That being said, this battle looks more interesting than the last one so here’s to hoping that it pulls through next episode. |
| Casual note that they low-key added a sex joke for Mineta. Mineta: "You haven't grown as much as me!" Ashido: "You're still the same (refers to him being short)" Mineta: "I'm not talking about height!" |
| Don't believe the hype. |
| idk why people complain about the pacing the episode is over before i knew it |
AyyMayy said: I hate the constant recaps especially showing the exact same recap shown a few minutes ago. This is the worst MHA has been. The only saving grace of this arc is that we get to see Class B and also Shinso. I can't wait for this arc to be over. I don't know what's coming after this arc but I've heard its better than this. next arc is meta liberation army which is in my opinion the best arc in my hero academia manga |
| Endeavor being left on read kinda made me feel bad for him... who the hell is Toya tho? Dabi? Also, I don't recall Tetsutetsu being this retarded before. He should be more careful around Todoroki or else his iron ass will literally get melted. |
| im getting tired with these practice matches, same fight formula, takes up a long time, and almost no lore important things in it. only thing that entertained me this episode was todoroki's sneeze |
| Todoroki's team is in a pinch as well...looks like Class B is really performing well huh! or at least...lolz 5/5. |
 |
| Better episode than last week that's for sure. I don't think the pacing's ever gonna really be fixed until the arc is over so I'm gonna try and stop complaining about it. I'll give credit where credit is due, character look consistently great, the Animation Directors are doing wonders, would be nice if there were a tad bit more animation but I believe we're gonna get just that next week considering the pv. Also, CGI Endeavor is very well done, but distracting nonetheless in my case. |
| so fucking boring wth I started missing with my phone mid-episode |

| Usually as the seasons progresses the ratings increase as more and more casuals drop off leaving more ardent fans to follow. It's quite telling that the ranking for the fifth season of MHA keeps falling lower and lower by the episode. Saw it coming though, the arc was rubbish in the manga as well. |
 |
| booooring season atm |
| Finally, Todoroki is here. I like his character so much but damn, poor Endeavor. Sad that we have to wait 1 more week until this match's finale. Also can't wait to see Deku's match vs Shinso, that's going to be interesting. |
Come on man,where is that Noragami season 3 masterpiece.We want it, Bones! |
| Those overused flashbacks really made this episode long winded. |
 Behold of my awesomeness~ controversial and/or sensitive topics likely devolve into the same repetitive, derogatory, abusive, and harassing comments can no longer be posted. But my feels. |
DMNorth said: Is it just me or has this whole arc felt like they’re stretching out moderately entertaining content to a point where it has become somewhat boring? I love the show, I love the rivalry they are developing and building on between class A/B, but I wish they went through these matches a little faster and got back to more engrossing plot points. I get that they have to stick to the manga to a degree... but I wish they could finish these matches up a little quicker and maybe have a separate (slightly more interesting) challenge between A/B afterwards if they really want to give the manga more time to get ahead. I'm right there with you. This would be a perfectly fine mini-arc akin to the License Exam tournament in S3, no more than 6-7 episodes. But since they apparently want to stretch this arc out to a full cour, they have to find ways to pad out the episodes with recaps, flashbacks and repeated exposition. As a result I find myself shifting around in my seat a lot waiting for the action to kick off despite liking the stuff that's happening on screen for the most part. It doesn't help either that the stakes are non-existent, Class 1A's rivalry with 1B doesn't hold a candle to past tournament arcs where they had to make a name for themselves in front of the world or getting their official hero licenses. |
| Are ya winning, diners? |
| Definitely a better episode compared to last week, even if it was just the build up for the the next one. I was wondering if Midoriya would tell Bakugo about what happened to him with One for All. Was pretty funny to see Bakugos reaction and All Mights inner monologue. I liked Tokoyamis little speech towards Todoroki because it's 100% true what he said. Both of them have certain responsibilities. But especially a conversation between these 2 makes me smile because I just can't unhear Eren talking with Reiner lol. Damn Todoroki just ignoring the messages of his father, what a savage. Comparing both teams even without knowing to much about the quirks of 1-B (besides Tetsutetsu) I would guess Todoroki, Ida, Shoji and Ojiro should easily win. Seems like 1-B will make it harder as expected. Especially Juzo shouldn't be underestimated. He's clearly the brain in his team. Interesting to see Ida also learned something knew with Recirpo Turbo. But to see what he had to make to achieve it looked disgustingly painful. Todoroki vs Tetsutetsu in a melee battle is also something you would want to avoid. But let's see how this will play out next weekend. PS: I also had a bad thought when I saw the "drill" part lol. |

| Says Pony can control up to 4 horns at a time, but shows her controlling 6 multiple times. This arc is so bad the animators don't even care to be accurate with Class B's quirks. |

|
| dont worry bro he is high on copium...from where did he saw 6 horns? So thats why kids dont do drugs |
| I'm so glad they're putting the characters to use. It's like they've been saving them in cold storage for two seasons. "How do we follow up a tournament arc?" "A....tourna.....ment....ar--" "No! That's brilliant! Let's do a tournament arc!" "That's what I was going to sa--" People, esp. fans of the show, dumping on this current arc because it's not an Endeavor fight, which kind of makes me wonder why ya'll been watching this. We finally get the cast the show was supposedly building up in all their glory. Characters who supposedly mattered are back. The story has finally come back to home base. Plus class B is pretty cool in that they're not far off and our main heroes can be overrated. Dunno, I mean the extra b-line antagonists plot got sort of...messy? It didn't have stakes that couldn't be sidelined for the main characters. It's much more vital to me if these characters are growing and advancing their skills in real time. Plots from the last two seasons felt like impermanent changes that didn't stick. I'm just glad that it feels like the show knows where it's going now and things have a place. Like we have a sense of direction and true north. Before I felt like a drowned sailor in a tempest of confusion. "What's the point of this?" "Who that?" "Why hasn't Deku actually changed?" "What happened to the rest of the characters?" "Who's this little girl?" Just poor storywriting. The author has loads of trouble with this big-ass story. What do I focus on? Who and for what reason? It's like Deku was training with that little old dude, Gran Torino, and ever since then we've sort of fallen off from the main plot into side missions. Deku didn't really advance as far as I can tell, we lost the best character (all might) and we lost track of everybody else. The great thing about this arc is it's pulling all these disparate elements back into focus. But I can already see the click bait articles bashing this arc because the fans find it boring and don't care about class b. |
| She used her 4 horns to push away Shoji from Todoroki as a matter of surprise then she loosened the grip of 2 horns on shoji's arms but kept the 2 horns on Shoji's shoulders intact to push him away even more. Now she can control 2 more horns and used on Tetsu to charge him on Todoroki...she can produce many horns but control 4 at a time as of now. |
| Wow this Class A vs Class B battle drags really. Getting bored already.What the fuck happened to this show, second half of S4 was already lame and now this. |

Even if you're "loosening the grip" on something, that would still be controlling them. If she weren't, the ones she wasn't controlling would just fall away and be inactive while he's flying through the air.  and immediately after this, uses another set to push Tetsutetsu towards him.   The only argument that could be made against this is she maybe stuck her horns into the metal behind Shoji (which we didn't see her do, and doesn't look like they would be deep enough to hold him very well) in order to gain control of another pair. Doesn't invalidate what I said for the other scene. Just because they aren't actively being moved, even if they're just floating there next to her, that's still considering being in control of them. Otherwise they'd just fall. |
