This is injustice. They didn't even make best girl Momo stand a chance

It was an alright episode. Had a couple of good comedic moments but making the first round matches practically a joke for something that is built up to be important is what irritates me

Uraraka has such a cool power though. Think about it, she could punch people and make em fly using her quirk as well haha. Kacchan is a difficult opponent though. He can use his explosions to keep her at a distance and fly back in the field in case he get touched by her.

Hard to Lida :/
Another nice episode, although i happened more intensity ;)


its Iida not Lida btw


That aside
Midoriya is quite creepy with his annotations XD I would feel as weird as Uraraka if I ever heard that

Loved all of the matches! I wished to see Kirishima vs Tetsutetsu though, their similar quirks and personalities would easily make anyone excited and thus far it was my best match so far (Yes, even if they didn't fully show it) Let's see who wins in the arm wrestling or any else kind of decider lol, though I still can't see a winner emerging haha those two are so similar.
I absolutely love Uraraka's passion! I wish she'd bash that cunt Bakugo's cocky head in, but it probably won't happen. Best girl Uraraka will still steal the show though.

Poor Momo, she was so distraught :(

Otherwise a pretty straightforward episode, got all the fights out of the way. Mina was very fun to look at, hope she can do some upsets here.

Bakugo vs. Uraraka HYPE!

Tokoyami won his match handily. He actually is the dark horse of the tournament at this point. I expect him to go far if not outright win the whole thing. They setup Todoroki and Bakugou as 1 and 2 in strength, but I actually think Tokoyami is up there with the two other boys.

Probably even stronger than Midoriya and Iida at this point in time.

- Kaminari clearly hasn't played pokemon, electricity is not the best against grass
- Iida got trolled hard, that win can't feel good
- Mina is great
- Sad for Momo, she could've done better
- Wish we saw more of Tetsutestsu and Kirishima, that's a hardcore matchup
- Hyped to see Bakugou and Uraraka fight

We had a lot of battles here. I'm glad Mina won over the laser beam wierdo, Iida's battle against Mei was just Spam of her part, Tokoyami is a pro (Yaoyorozu didn't stood a chance), Kaminari was honestly pathethic and Kirishima and the other dude... were very similar.

I don't think Uraraka is going to win, though, Bakugo is pretty much Deku's "main rival" and his ability is too strong, it would be too weird if he lost just in the first round.

I liked the Mei segment, but IDK why she forfeited. If she was so much in control and could have won, she could have made claims suchs as "My quirk gives me no combat abilities, imagine someone with a combat quirk and my inventions". No reason not to show the machines winning a fight.

I forgot to mention this, but if Aoyama´s Quirk is that belt, doesn´t that mean anyone can use it?
Also, don´t their faces look sorta alike?

He shoots from his bellybutton, the belt's only use is to probably focus it like that and prevent him from destroying his own shirt

Great episode. Cool to see the fights extended from the manga.
Love Deku analyzing people's quirks & coming up with counters.

LOL Hatsume using Iida to promote her gadgets/babies. That was smart, but cheeky. She's amazing.

Mina vs Aoyama was fun. She is real agile.
Poor Momo. Didn't get a chance to show off her abilities properly. Tokoyomi using the distance as his advantage.

Uraraka vs Bakugou. Can't wait to see this battle.

It's completely okay that the matches didn't last too much. There's a big difference between some koseis and habilities in the characters and there are obvious beat downs like almost all the matches. Is surprising to watch how intelligent are some of them like Tokoyami, he's completely dangerous altough it doesn't seem like that.
It's time for Bakugo to advance beating Uraraka.

She doesn't care about winning. She fought hard to get to the 1v1 fights simply because it's a perfect platform for her to show off her gadgets. She managed to show off every single one she brought with her, so she has no reason to continue fighting in the competition.

Some nice matches in between. A shame that Yaoyorozu lost so fast, but understandable that these fights need to be short to give more time to the more major ones.

Super hyped for Uraraka and Bakugo's fight. Judging from the preview, we'll probably catch more of Uraraka's aggressive personality which should be fun.

It doesn't suit her interests to win. Everyone there can tell that she could have won, but progressing to another fight doesn't have any benefit to her. She's there to show off her products and her creativity to big-name companies so they'll consider offering her a contract once she graduates. She doesn't care about gaining the attention of heroes or proving her ability to fight.

SIDE CHARACTER BATTLES GO! Watching them all battle in their own unique ways was quite entertaining, especially Mei. Next is Uraraka vs Bakugo, and I'm really freaking excited, though Bakugo's face kind of ruined the intensity.

Lots of girl power this episode. I love it.

Mei is secret best girl, using her match as one giant advertisement was genius.

Mina never gets enough love so I'm happy she was able to strut her stuff, despite her opponent being a cupcake. Spunky pink girl for the win.

I really feel sorry for best girl Momo, she has a great quirk and is really smart, but she's never been really able to do anything. I'm hoping she gets development some time in the future, she deserves it.

This next episode is going to be intense, Ochaco doesn't stand much of a chance unfortunately.

There are so many kinds of battle in this eps wkwk A Second Battle (Kaminari vs Ibara), Men's Battle (Tetsutetsu vs Kirishima), Battle of Pride (Tokoyami vs Yaoyorozu), Comedy Battle (Mina vs Yuga), and Didn't Want to Battle, Promote Only (Mei vs Iida) wkwkwk. It's a shame that Yaoyorozu can't do much against Tokoyami, she's one of my favourite female chara after Uraraka. I think Tokoyami, Mina, and Ibara will become dark horses in this competition because of their quirks and physical abilities.
I think I can't watch next episode because Uraraka will face Bakugo...I hope Uraraka can win the match but it'll be really difficult, especially vs that hot-headed Bakugo that never hesitate at all. But still I hope Uraraka can give her all because she's one my fav chara.
I hope Deku or Todoroki will meet Bakugo in the next round and kick his ass wkwk.
And Mineta...you're the best wkwkwkwk

I gave the first season a 9/10, but this season is a 10/10.
We got some great fights, glad that they are showing it.
That green haired girl is strong and cute too xD
Tokoyami did a pretty nice play, but i feel bad for that girl...she was so excited but she couldn't do anything.
Iida was used by that girl xD What a great advertisement move hahah
Good luck Uraraka! I believe in you!!! Gambatte :D

LOVED this ep. That was a hilarious "battle" between Iida and Mei. If she hadn't before, Mei has definitely shot up to my short list of favorite MHA characters with this match. I'd like to see her again, perhaps in a more practical crime-fighting setting, but I bet she'd be just as content making a mint selling heroes her crazy gadgets. :D

Sad for Momo with how her match turned out, a mortifying defeat. Really hoping she can bounce back and doesn't just become this mediocre, indecisive bit character who's occasionally fanservice, but I wouldn't be surprised if that's how she went. That said, Tokoyami seems like a tough opponent no what quirk you've got. Just all-around powerful.

As for Uraraka vs Bakugo.. I'm rooting for you girl! I don't have high hopes but I'm sure you'll give it all you got!

Haven't watched the manga, but I'm pretty sure Finals will be between Midoriya vs. Bakugo. Childhood rivalry, etc. etc. typical shounen trope.


What I'm stoked about is the Semi-finals. Tokoyami vs. Bakugo!! We do know that Tokoyami's Dark Shadow can defend against Bakugo's explosion. We've seen that in the cavalry match. We also saw that Dark Shadow has pretty long range offense even under the sun, we've seen that against Momo. I just really don't know how it'll play out.

I like Ibara, she's savage beneath the nice girl surface haha.

Oh pls. Tell me why is this annoying guy liked by some again. Mineta is probably my most hated character from this anime. Pls burn him.

Dem Hatsume is that genius who doesn't care about being no. 1 as long as she meets her aims. Hope she gets her motivation tho, would make for good development.

Why is Aoyama so sparkling n weird, makes me laugh so much im like shut up every damn time.

Tetsutetsu Tetsutetsu

I swear everyone is cool. Uraraka.

Quite sad my bby girl Momo lost but at the same time I hated the way they made the bracket, I like both Momo & Tokoyami ;_;

I mean it's so painfully obvious that it's gonna be Midoriya vs Bakugo but maybe that's what they want us to think? Another finals match that'd be quite interesting to watch is Todoroki vs Tokoyami.

Ibara is interesting as well and honestly I can see her beating Iida.

Boku no hero is a pretty standard battle shonen until the end of the tournament.
