I loved that Kazuha/Pop was about to pretend to be Koichi's girlfriend until seeing Makoto was there too πŸ˜‚


Also. It seems that now Makoto knows Koichi's secret and after he saved her she might have a crush on him. So now Kazuha has real reasons to be jealous πŸ˜…

@Kuterisu That's a dumb question if you know that's not what they said in Sub.

YES I WATCHED THE DUB BECAUSE I'M PRIMARILY A DUB WATCHER.

1. No one criticized you for watching the dub. I was just asking for clarification. So why are you so triggered and feel the need to TYPE IN ALL CAPS like that? I'm not judging or shaming anyone for what they choose to watch.

2. It's not a "dumb question." Koichi's mom and senpai really didn't say that in the original language. But what if it was just a mistake in the English subtitles? How am I supposed to know whether the whole "called him daddy" thing came from the English sub, the English dub, or even the Spanish, German, Italian, Latin, or French versions? This is an international community—anyone could be here, dear captain. It's not uncommon for translation errors to happen.

So please keep it calm. Thanks.

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

KOICHI GOD
Bro got found out in the most fucking heroic way possible, peaaak πŸ”₯πŸ”₯πŸ”₯

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 πŸ₯°β€οΈβ€οΈβ€οΈβ€οΈβ€οΈβ€οΈβ€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£Λ˜β–½Λ˜)っ~~~
Btw, cry about it.

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.

I really enjoyed this one. Seeing casual Knuckleduster was great and weird how formal he can be. The action part with the Spirited Away bus was good, but it became amazing when Ingenium used that rocket form and Koichi's quick just evolved, that was sick.

Nah Koichi is the Man

Makoto Definitely Owes him one. That was a Save of the century in an anime if I ever seen one.

Also Mom’s quirk is comically hilarious. Hitting him without actually hitting himπŸ˜‚

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.

I was expecting a fun, chill episode and we get this?! I'm not complaining, though. x)

This was really cool. I enjoyed Koichi's mom dynamic with the other characters, as well as the action. The reveal of his ability was awesome! I never got that far in the manga, so that was completely unexpected for me. Also, I didn't think his secret identity would be revealed to Makoto so soon, that's cool.

It's over for him πŸ’€ parent visit to that place. But hey Pop had the golden opportunity in that close of last ep. Cute Pop.

Welp, ruined by Makoto πŸ˜” but what can ya do.

Pop 🫑 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 πŸ™

In what world is clothes being put together quick a compliment in that scenario πŸ’€

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

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.

I was wondering how Koichi’s mom kept hitting him from far till I realized it was her quirk. That’s dangerous!

So much for Makoto pretending to be his girlfriend. Mother’s know best hahah. I thought things would get worse when Pop Star and Knuckleduster barged in min but they were normal! Looks like Master has a professional side to him.

Sad a wholesome day out turned to a life or death moment but Ingenium came to the rescue. Guess that cat is out of the bag, literally. The Crueller’s identity has been exposed.

The Crawler gained a new level up, the ability to fly!

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 πŸ’€

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?
