Vigilante: Boku no Hero Academia Illegals Episode 3 Discussion

I'd do anything to make knuckleduster sleep at my house, I'll prepare his favorite beer brand, pack a lot of food in refrigerator, using the best lubricant, etc.

Anyway, in normal situation I'd say this spin-off could be even better than the main series. The problem is the main series is already very good, especially later seasons are peaked in almost every episode, so I can't say that vigilante reach that kind of level yet.

By the way, if you notice, one soundtrack has "Kekka Alright" element, Yuki Hayashi never disappoint me.
Update: I just know that this time there are actually three composers instead of one, but the other two seem to be someone Yuki Hayashi know, his assistant and his friend.

So the Pop Step fan is also the one ( or one of them) that they are after. Nice little twist, though I wish they had saved it for a bit longer, but subtle was never the MHA Universe style so I guess not. Man, it almost feels like these three are siblings at home now, lol.

Finally got to see Knuckleduster’s face—didn’t think we ever would. And Kazuho’s a schooler, huh? She looks so different and still cute without her Pop☆Step getup.

Looks like Kouichi’s house has basically turned into a hangout spot now for the gang now. Unfortunately, Kouichi can’t see what’s in a girl’s heart—denying so easily that he isn’t Kazuho’s boyfriend.

Daddy knuckleduster can do things to me

Seems like Pop will stay useless throughout the show. At least we have a new female villain.

Ah, Homeless Batman has a face under the bandana after all. Also, the guy has a day job? He's probably not homeless then.

"Plain" Pop Step actually still looks super cute. Ig she just has insecurities or beauty standards in her school are insanely high.

Lmao. I like how they turned Koichi's house into their makeshift base of operations. It's pretty funny. Poor Koichi tho. Or maybe I should be happy about him cause at least he has company now. I like how they're already acting and fighting like family as if they knew each other for years already.

Woah. All the past heroes showed up! It's a little nostalgic in a way. I loved the comic book-style transitions. I really hope these kinds of animations won't be exclusive to this spin-off and will actually be used in the last season of MHA... It'd be a waste not to. Tho that probably won't happen.

The drug spread is getting crazy. I wonder what the deal is with the queen bee character.

I work as a part time villian is pretty funny

as much as I absolutely HATE the mc the side characters are really funny and good

That bee quirk is terrifying

Plenty of Pop Step goodness in this one, I wouldn’t be mad if half the episode was dedicated to her performance lol, makes me wonder if they have an EP of her songs planned if they haven’t done that already. But unfortunately for probably most idols, there are some deranged fans, that Teruo fella went from being someone you could sympathize with to very creepy real fast, although I’m guessing it was the effects of Trigger that caused him to behave in a sus way, because afterward he was let go, but dealing with him in his fishy form made for a fun action sequence.

I also really enjoyed the main trio’s interactions with each other, Pop Step and Knuckleduster just kinda made themselves at home at Kouichi’s place and they’re not getting along, but at the same time it’s very endearing, I’m loving these three already. And it was here we got to see everyone in their casual fits, Pop Step is insecure about her appearance but I think it’s very cute, just a different kind of cute from her idol look, I’m also really liking the slight romance she has with Kouichi so far, it’s nothing too crazy but it’s made for some cute moments.

And lastly we got introduced to a new villain, Hachisuka aka Queen Bee, I love her design but damn is that a dastardly stunt she’s pulling by drugging up random people with Trigger, thankfully we got to see some classic heroes again to put a stop to it but I’m thinking our vigilantes will be the ones dealing with this at the source.

The banter between Pop, Knuckleduster, and Kouichi this episode was fun.

@XArceusX I don't know where you're getting the idea that Pop Step's real name is Kazuho given that up to this point, her real name hasn't been revealed.

@Gator Except that she has been very useful so far. Firstly, she was the key in tracking down the patterns of the villains (i.e. figuring out that businessman has been at every crime scene). Secondly, she was the primary reason that Teruo was willing to talk about how gave him the drug.

Just because somebody doesn't kick ass doesn't mean they're useless.

@KingBaller06 Um... it's literally in the "Characters & Voice Actors" section!?
