Guys! Something felt off with Endeavor's jacket the moment it vanished! The shoulder pads of his hero costume doesn't match with the cover he's wearing and it made no sense! :O Am I the only one who noticed this?

Hawks knows something is going to happen and preffers showing it in action than using words. Interresting >.> Very clever too! Bakugou already dislike him for his first impression though XD

Good start for this new arc! The OP and ED are very nice ^^ Also, I'm glad to know that Best Jeanist is ok (it's been a while) ;-;

Finally one of my favorite arcs. Endeavor internship.

Endeavor's sidekicks are so sassy~

The opening and ending theme songs are fine. Maybe they will grow on me. I do like how cool Deku, Bakugo, & Todoroki look in the opening.

wow new OP!!! love it so much especially because it's focusing on our favorite trio. finally we are entering cour 2 and things started to get interesting. I've been reaally curious about hawks & the league of villain.

Bakugou outsmarting endeavor is really funny, hahaha. even all might said he noticed a 'similarity' between the two. also.. both bakugou and midoriya know about shoto's past. but shoto doesn't know anything about those two T__T

I like when hawks thought that endeavour wasn't a really 'bright' person (yea that big dude looks dumb most of the time) but endeavor actually noticed that there was something off about hawks!! he even figured the hints in the book. I must say i'm impressed....

anywayyy can't wait for next episode. I hope the trio can experience and gain something from the internship, get stronger!

Ok so what i have deduced till now is hawks is working as a triple agent :
1} Hero public safety commission
2} League of villians
3) Meta liberation army

those were also my thoughts watching the episode. I personally think it's hard to understand when they fast-forward and go back in time (present - X weeks before - X weeks later) and modify scenes so they don't ""spoil"" the arc that should've been animated first :/

This was a really cool episode.

New opening and ending, and in my opinion I think they both suck. I think the opening sucks more than the ending. It was really cool to see Hawks in action, and to see Izuku, Bakugo and Todoroki all interning at Endeavors agency.

I 𝘳𝘦𝘢𝘭𝘭𝘺 like the way this is being adapted! It's giving us the Endeavour Agency Arc but also scattering the build up scenes to the My Villain Academia Arc throughout it which is a brilliant way to keep from wasting time with the build up later on. That scene where Endeavour figured out Hawks's message gave me chills... the villains are rising right under the heroes noses.

I think Deku highlighting Hawks's age was important in this episode because the guy is taking on some hella dangerous role in this fight against villains. He's in such a precarious situation right in the heart of the enemy's operation whilst trying to keep it all a secret from anyone but the commission. It's too much for someone so young.

I guess it's kind of nice that they're sprinkling in some buildup for MVA during this arc, so when it comes time to backtrack to MVA they won't have to spend too much time on setting things up. We also got some hints regarding Hawks' various allegiances.

I might need to listen to the new OP a few more times to see if it'll really grow on me.

New OP was great, I think it might be one of my favorites of the entire series so far, you can’t go wrong with MAN WITH A MISSION, very good stuff. ED was also great, I love the slower EDs and I think it’ll be a good one as it grows on me.

Highlight of the episode for me was finally seeing Burnin, I’m not a manga reader so I’ve been very excited to see her in the show, give me more of her! Episode was pretty good overall as well, Hawks played it really safe when delivering that information.

although it irritates me there's some kind of secret society that has never been mentioned before, this is something that happens all the time in comic books, and it's kind of part of the charm of superhero storytelling. To me My Hero is skirting this line between comic book meta and anime/manga meta and I feel like it would have benefitted more from dedicating itself to one specific meta rather than just playing it safe.

Interesting opening. Not my favorite that the series has to offer but it's still cool. Not a fan of the ending but oh well.

As for the episode, it's refreshing getting to see hawks again because due to the class battle and all, it's felt like it's been a while. I'm honestly surprised endeavor wasn't accepting of anyone other than shoto with the three of them but I guess it does make sense.

New OP and ED and both are super catchy like usual, but I definitely prefer the OP this time.

Hawks got a good amount of screentime this episode. After what happened with Endeavor and the Nomo he now only got one more chance to prove himself the the leage of villains and the anti-establishment cause. Up to this point everything seemed normal, but what bothered me a lot was Hawks visited Best Jeanist, which was also a little surprise since we didn't knew what happened to him, and his weird behavior where it looked like he "attacked?" Best Jeanist from the back before it cut to another scene. Does that mean Best Jeanist is his target because of Dabis words "Make it someone other than the number one hero this time"?

Not sure who talked to Hawks when he got his coffee, but I immediately recognized Sugita Tomokazu voice. Maybe it was one of the new characters we saw in the OP?

The meeting between Endeavor, Midoriya, Bakugo and Todoroki was pretty funny but a moments later interrupted by a villain. As Midoriya mentioned it's crazy how fast Endeavor reacted. The villain himself with his glass ability was no match for Endeavor but it got also interesting in the little conversation with Hawks afterwards.

Holy shit Endeavors agency is gigantic with 30 side kicks and over 100 requests a day. At least that means it doesn't get boring for our 3 heroes lol. I really liked the design of Burnin and hope we will see more of her.

I wouldn't say Hawks was to roundabout giving Endeavor a book with a code. I mean he gets observed, so obviously he has to be as careful as he can. I'm glad Endeavor was able to notice the message. The liberation army is the enemy and with a number of 100.000 they'll take action in 4 months? That sounds more than just bad and at this point I'm also not sure what action Endeavor, Hawks etc can make to stop that?

This was again more of build up episode but nontheless I enjoyed it a lot and can't wait to see how things will go from here.

I think it's supposed to remain a mystery. However we know Hawks is a good guy, so chances are he wouldn't have killed Jeanist or anything. Considering there was no big news call about it either his fake-out death will appear in the news next episode or Hawks will kidnap Jeanist. The latter will be more interesting because that way it'll make his allegiance appear a little more grey. However this show isn't some S-tier superhero drama so who knows what they'll go with.

considering how well he's being watched, this action was still incredibly suspicious. However because of the anti-establishment message of the story, it would seem to anyone in the liberation army supervising him that he's revealing his true opinion to the superheroes, so I suppose it was a smart cover. The final touch was giving some copies to the work study trio, which would have made it seem like his goal was to get the word out rather than specifically target Endeavor. He executed that plan as perfectly as possible, but I still feel like it wasn't the best possible plan to begin with. Either way pretty impressive for the relatively generic shounen storytelling that's been seen throughout this show so far.

I too am pretty interested to see how this is turning out.

I never realised. TBF it's been a while since I've seen it.
However at the end of the day like I said before - random supervillains showing up is part of the charm of superhero comic books, and I think my hero should have leaned into that more ridiculous side a bit more. We've already got a bizarre utopian society with no war. It's not like increasing the number of arch-nemesis would make the story significantly less realistic.

This episode was so-so, had a lot of still frames in the action scenes but things are finally moving forward.

The OP was decent but the ending was meh, didn't liked the ending that much.

I want them to switch to the My Villain Academia arc already, that arc might save this season, I really hope all the budget goes for that arc.

True. I also would find an possible kidnap more interesting, even if I have no clue what exactly Hawks or eventually the league of villains would do with Best Jeanist. This is a little far-fetched but if we think in a crazy way there's also the possibility of him becoming a new Nomu. Just an idea, so it could also turn out in a complete different way.

Also very true. This again shows how great Hawks as a great character is. Even with him being in such a difficult position, where just a single mistake or wrong decision could be dire, he keeps his cool and planned/prepared for the best possible outcome a lot of things in advance. I personally really enjoy these little mind games.

I'm not super worried about it, it seems like they're flipping it, and showing us the post My Villain Academia stuff, probably up to a certain break point, then will hit us with the flashback for all that right afterwards. Still 11 episodes to work with, and I think they'll still kill it.

If I had to guess, they want to set things up to get RIGHT INTO IT when S6 starts. If you know what I mean.

I love how attitude of the three amigos are so different toward Endeavor. 😆 Deku being respectful, Shoto being his stoic semi-indifferent usual self and Bakugo outright roasting him.

But the final minutes of the episode though... simply captivating cannot wait to see what kind of chaos is ahead.

A new opening, sounds quite nice.
We got Hawk, the double agent working for the Villians and or the Heroes. Took down Jeans for some reason.
Eri's letter was SO CUTE. Deku cried out a whole river after her mom's emotional speech xD That was funny.
Really important what Hawks said to Endavor.
Glad that they swapped the two arcs, it's better like this.

Are they skipping villian arc? I see some saying it’s coming after this, but is there actually any confirmation on that? Double checked the manga, this episode shows stuff that happens after the villain arc. Would be quiet sad if they skip it, it was quiet good and gave a different perspective on things.

There's a lot more to unpack here than in the last episode, especially with Hawks and his own personal stuff.

First, I do like how he's being the "double agent" but I don't really understand his role in League of Villains that much, with only 11 episodes left, I hope they expand on that a bit.

Also, I like how Todoroki, Bakugo, and Midoriya are all kind of main characters now. It's cool to see Bakugo in a role other than just kinda screaming and crying.

Can't wait to see the next episodes and look more into the Endeavor agency and see what the main trio gets up to

Its now episode 14 and its getting really good.. the ep is now laying out the groundwork for the liberation army arc, which will also lead faster to the latest chapter of the manga.. or maybe just some chapters away from it actually.. will they really show the story about the villain league? Haha.. that is really to see.. and things might get heated up from now on, as endeavor will now try to train deku and friends into the heroes they will become on the latest chapter of the manga.. as in this episode, we now see what hawks is up to this time, where he is now acting as a spy on all sides.. and at least, he could warn endeavor of what is to come.. anyways, i rate the episode a 9 of 10, 9 for both story and art.. :)
