| Great episode, Ingenium is really cool as always but Kuroman definitely stole the spot here ! Really wonder how much he can do with his quirk now that we know he can fly 5 episodes left, really hope for a S2 |
| Deep dark fantasies |
| KOICHI GOD Bro got found out in the most fucking heroic way possible, peaaak π₯π₯π₯ This was a great episode, damn, Ingenium and The Crawler are the coolest duo I've seen in all MHA, no joke. The only bad thing about the episode was Koichi's mom, I hate her, she sucks, like, imagine slapping your grown-up son in front of his friends for no real reason, she even said she always slapped him when he was still a baby just to stop him from flying, poor dude lmao Kazuho looks so cute π₯°β€οΈβ€οΈβ€οΈβ€οΈβ€οΈβ€οΈβ€οΈ  I hope Koichi begins to fall in love with her soon, they can date when she's and adult (I know what happens). |
Sorry if my english is bad (γ£Λβ½Λ)γ£~~~ Btw, cry about it.  |
| Another cute episode. Koichi's Quirk is evolving ! It's nice to see Knuckle Duster and Pop be casual lol Also, since when have there been animal Quirk Users!? Or am I tweaking?? |
 |
| So you mean to tell me that Koichi was able to fly all this time with his quirk but because of his mom's abuse (played off as a joke), all he can do is crawl?? Let me spell it out again: he could be flying all this time but because of his mom tearing him down during his entire childhood, all he was able to learn was to crawl on the floor!! He spent his entire life not knowing he could fly, he thought his quirk was kinda lame, because his mom made sure he could never lift off the ground in every sense of the word! THIS IS THE MOST IN-YOUR-FACE ALLEGORY OF THIS SHOW SO FAR AND IT WAS PLAYED OFF AS A JOKE! I hate it here. |
| Damn... his mom is awful. Her baby starts accidently using his quirk and her solution is to start slapping him? Wtf... |
| I don't know if it was intentional, but the bus chase scene reminded me of the movie Speed. Very fun episode all around! I continue to be pleasantly surprised by this anime! |
| Cat bus is the real hero here today. Everyone else was along for its ride. |

Reply to ka7eMARU
dang, pretty interesting that he could fly all this time, but forgot overtime
| @ka7eMARU As someone who is anime only I am starting to feel like death flags are everywhere fo these guys. |
| Huh, it was nice to see someone that self limited his quirk, usually it's all about training. Big reveal with the fact that animals can use quirks too... |
| A quirk that allows you to slap/punch your child from afar? Easily the dream quirk of any abusive parent. Well, this episode ended up being way better from what I expected when I watched last episode's preview. First half with Kouichi's mother humiliating him for laughs was kinda "eh?" but that epic second half definitely made up for it. |
Interesting that Kouichi can fly |

Opinions vary from person to person.  |
| Koichi's mom is toxic. Aside from her slaps, her disheartening lines were really annoying. |
| Amazing, Kouchi can fly!!! Great power!!! kekeke |
| Solid episode. A Totoro and Speed reference. |
 |
| It's over for him π parent visit to that place. But hey Pop had the golden opportunity in that close of last ep. Cute Pop. Welp, ruined by Makoto π but what can ya do. Pop π«‘ thank Cute Pop. Coming in for the assist to make his place more lively. Whole gang got together to be all showy for mom XD Makoto actually feeling up Knuckleduster muscle XD hold up Pop still cute π In what world is clothes being put together quick a compliment in that scenario π W for the group takedown of the cat bus tho. Altho his identity is not being hidden at all.. I guess he's still doing what he wants to do |

| Damm, he can even fly with his quirk now. |
 |
| Yelp, what's a strict mother having her Fly Swatter Quirk be so powerful then her own son's Slide and Glide? Haha lol Obviously, Makoto is too old to pass as Koichi's "girlfriend" which his mother notices straightaway, though she does not dismiss her entirely. That being said, with Kazuho's arrival however, the neighborhood girl, and the old man Knuckleduster himself, he's rather professional and keeps it strait-laced all the way. Obviously, the comments around Koichi being unfavorable to Kazuho, and damn son can't even compliment a girl like her well enough to earn her slap. The Tokyo trip, however, takes a turn for the worse with Kuin's Trigger experiment of a cat absorbing the bus that Koichi, his mother and Makoto are in, though initially with both Pop Step and Knuckleduster taking tools that will help get a cat's attention, it's Turbo Hero Ingenium that keeps everyone safe with Team Idaten for assistance. But when Ingenium almost runs out of jiuce, it's Koichi who steps up to the plate saving Makoto, the only one left on the bus, working together with the pro hero. Even when all hope seems lost with the runaway bus making for the break, it's his ability to fly that was a locked-out feature from his own mother, that truly cemented him as a grown-up. More than the girlfriend rivalry between Makoto and Kazuho, how far will Koichi go to have his Quirk be utilized to the max? |

| @Green_Giorno The school principal from the main series is a mouse with a quirk. Seems that a lot of people here forgot that he existed. |

| @Green_Giorno I think the cat police officer was a human with a cat quirk or something, amd I just remembered there was a dog police officer in a suit that made burst out laughing when I saw him the first time. |
| That's the most motherly quirk, if there ever was one to begin with lol. I'm glad though we played the entire thing with laughs and all, and not some emotional breakdown where the mother might have felt some sort of self realisation after Koichi's narration of how he always wanted to be a hero. Pretty neat second half, and hey, now Makoto knows who Koichi is. Btw, all of these people should've tried finding the cat after the rescue xD |
| So Kouichi can fly. Cool. And the bee brat is still on the loose, with no heroes or police looking or even caring about her and Trigger. This is the most improbable aspect of this show; the police and the actual heroes are not only indifferent to Trigger and its bratty distributor, but they even release Trigger users soon after detaining them, without really questioning them or tailing any of them. I know this is done so that our Vigilante trio catch the brat themselves, but the complete inaction and indifference of the official authorities does not make any sense. It also directly contradicts how eagerly they went after Trigger 2.0, or however it was called, in the parent story. |

| He can fly let's go |
 |
| Great episode. MHA could become something great if it didn't insist on focusing on dozens of training arcs and forcing me to give a fuck about each and every side to side characters I don't care about. |
| The whole cat-bus chasing part was great. Ingenium really went all out this time around and even Koichi managed to fly even though for a little bit. His mom really made him go from flying to crawling oof π |
| Lmao the amount of references this episode was crazy, the movie "Speed", My Neighbor Totoro etc ... One of the more interesting episodes even if his mom was a bit of an ass. Also Ingenium is just a blast (pun intended) to look at, always reminds me of Genos from One Punch Man. |

| Crawler's mom is definitely strict. That cat bus was something else. At least the cat was fine after, but bee girl is evil, that's for sure. Crawler flew! That was amazing! Also, Makoto now knows that Kouichi is "The Crawler/The Cruller." Will she keep his identity a secret? |
 |
Big reveal with the fact that animals can use quirks too... What reveal? The President of UA (OG series) is literally an animal... right from the start of season 1 episode 1... lol... Dude's got the Human Quirk. . also, lol... since when was "You put that together in a hurry" a compliment... is this a weird Japan thing, or is Koichi just retarded in speaking to others? . Tho... his combat ability... was "The Crueller (LOL)" always that fast? Dude's going backwards and still going faster than the Bus... So.. why didn't he just enter the Bus and get Makoto out before the bus went over? LOL... (when he was playing distract, he could have gone in and saved her) . And fly huh... I guess the reason he can't really fly on demand is due to his mom... where she just constantly slaps him for it, so he developed a sort of PTSD for using flying, so his deep concious mind made it so it's hard for him to use it. It's the same concept why some people have trouble do stuff they got PTSD on. (even simple ones that majority of regular people can do) So Koichi would have a greater control of his quirk and maybe even become a hero, if only he didn't get suppressed by his mom. (aka: the opposite of Deku's mom) Helicopter parents are fucking annoying and ruins their childrens lives. I also just realized... that Koichi awakened to his power as a baby... as main series explained that most people besides the very first Quirk Baby, only awaken when they're about to enter elementary or middle school. ONly those exceptionally gifted awaken to their power as a baby and can have great control over their power. But Koichi's mom ruined it by giving him PTSD, so he would had been as strong as Baku right now if he had control of his powers, but he don't as he doesn't even know he have those powers as his early childhood memory of him ever using those powers is blocked by PTSD from the mom. |
