Im gonna be honest, I was finding this arc a chore to get through. And now im 3 episodes behind. I really don't feel like watching all 3 so at this point im wondering if I can just skip this arc?

I did get spoiled a few things but I stopped caring about MHA spoilers a while ago, so heres what I know:

Deku has multiple quirks and learns black whip. And a few other things.

That begs the question, by skipping this arc, am I missing anything important? Or can I just skip it?

Edit: Im caught up now so there is no need to post on this thread anymore.

Obviously none of this arc actually holds any importance when it comes to the conflicts the story has, it just works to give more scenes to the characters and gives the watcher school moments. Midoria needs to show how much he progresses in the power scaling through these arcs, to become the greatest hero.

If you rly don’t want to watch it then skip to episode 10, the most recent episode, that’s when he gets blackwhip. I would recommend watching episode 9 as well though, it shows some great character development for Bakugo.

The round 5 fight is major canon and integral to the plot, it’s the one fight you don’t want to miss out of the 5.

you’re 3 eps behind…might as well slog thru with it because the important Deku stuff happened this past episode and it seems like this arc will end soon
or just skip one more episode and watch from there bc Bakugo’s battle is short and sweet while the important Deku stuff is after that

I personally stand by the idea that skipping any canon parts of any anime is a bad idea that you will regret at some point I’d say that with you being 3 episodes behind and this arc having at most 2 more episodes that you’ll be better off just watching these last few episodes and if it helps I’d say this arc really just gets better with every chapter in the manga and so far it’s been the same for the anime so you should enjoy the upcoming episodes more than the previous ones

Honestly, if you skip it you won’t miss THAT much. However, i think that after 4 long seasons we finally get to understand One for All wayy more now. I personally wouldn’t skip this part because in my opinion it’s the closest we have gotten to understand Deku’s power.

Unless you care about character development and to check up on how 1-a is doing with their quirks, try watching all, but if you care more more about plotline and not character development, go to episode 10. But from episode 8 it’s not boring much but rather enjoyable since the animation goes bonkers from 8 and up.

I guess there’s nothing too important going on but obviously if you want knowledge on like every single reference or thing they do then I’d say just watch

I'm 6 episodes behind, can I skip to 9 without missing any major details?

I actually forgot.You can skip Round 1 and you SHOULD watch from round 2-5 as Round 2 is important for Momo's development,Round 3 for Todoroki and Round 4 for Bakugou.Ignore my other post.You can skip round 1 tho.

Episode 8 onwards is peak MHA, don’t skip.
Also match 5 is insanely important to the main storyline, 100% DO NOT SKIP. I would highly recommend watching the rest of the arc, only the first few matches are boring.

This arc is good but it doesn't really add much to the story other than the *spoiler warning* introduction of the new OFA quirks and maybe some character and quirk development from the characters.

well a bit bakugou s' attitude developed and no I think you should watch it the last 3 eps are fire even tho this arc was so bad I think it's going to end soon and the new arc will be so cool

i recommend watching the episodes with increased speed instead of just skipping them.
i knew what to expect from this arc so i didn't watch this season weekly and instead binged the first six episodes with a friend. the pacing is pretty bad in this arc. i expected it to end in 8 or 9 episodes..

I think you shd just take the 1hour to get through these last 3 episodes you missed because theyre actually the best of the season so far, especially the most recent one

at the very least watch the most recent ep

watch it if you want to see how people imporved using their quirks. if you dont want that, start from the bakugou fight (match 4)

For anyone still reading this thread, yes you can skip most of this arc with little consequence. Some stuffs brought up but most of this whole thing is just to remind us who all these characters are. Minor bits of character development are there but better moments are down the line. Start this season from episode 10 and you should be good.

If you're short on time, sure. You're not missing much. The consensus is episode 10 when things started to branch out.

dang, well I respect all of the opinions here but personally I love this arc. I get it doesn't add too much in the story but we get to see class 1a and class 1b duke it out and see the growth of all the characters. I love that we got to see class 1b who we barely see. Its a very fun and enjoyable arc in my opinion.

The arc is boring but I def don't recommend skipping it, you're better off suffering throught 2 hours of meh content than complain later that the show didn't do anything to make you care about 1-A and 1-B.

My suggestion for anybody who is bored with the arc is to just watch some clips on Youtube. Anything worth watching will be posted there. Everything else will be irrelevant.

This arc is soo good that it is a pain to wait weekly that is why I will watch it after it finished airing ,

It's not like AOT level where you can wait weekly because the pacing in the final season of AOT was a masterpiece

if you only enjoy" a handful of episodes out of the entire series, why are you even watching it? you can just drop it and watch something that you actually enjoy watching.

While this season is mostly mediocre so far I would recommend to at least watch the previous 3 episodes since they are the best episodes of this season, the latest episode that aired was boring though but sadly it's relevant to the story.

But to answer your question, yeah you can skip almost everything that aired on this season. The next arc will hopefully be a good one.
