I thought for a second that Aizawa was gonna make everyone do the ball test again, and Bakugou would explode at how much better Midoriya would do this time around. Without a broken finger or anything. Also, Himiko at the end was <33 Ahahah yea that would have been hillarious atm Deku is the only one who get stronger when it comes to raw power |
SanOro said: Pretty sure everyone saw it already but if you did not, there's an after credits scene. wow, seriously, thanks for pointing that out. I closed the video as soon as the credits came up (as I usually do) but that post credits scene actually had some important stuff in it. |

It’s already been touched on how society is honestly bad in this world and they mostly do it with comedic effect with how they chained up bakugo during the sports festival but they will touch up on it in the upcoming episodes how society honestly isn’t good . The league of villains are just “ bad guys “ . The world isn’t black or white it’s grey .This episode was great, as usual. But one thing that's eating away at me is that in a world where superpowers (or quirks) are the norm it's only natural for there to be good guys and bad guys utilising said superpowers; this got me thinking, "what is the purpose of the league of villains for this world to make them impactful for the anime?" 'Cause right now it just seems like bad guys being bad, and the only thing I've heard otherwise is that villain, "Dabi," saying something along the lines of cleaning the world of fakes [superheroes]; of which -in general circumstances- would be a great theme, but when it's the norm for people to have these "quirks," how can you judge who is fake or not. Because, if anything, Midoriya could just be really passionate. Well, other than that I didn't like the fact that not everyone was tested in the same way -a shame, really! I'd have liked to see their improvements, however minuscule it was I initially thought Kota was related to Stain; I don't know why, it was something to do with the hat and eyes, I think?! Lol😂😂😭, Mineta though; so close, yet so far - to be fair, even Kota was getting a bit hormonal. Just don't pee your self next time. The one thing that stood out for me though, is that the distribution of each characters part was quite fair and the m-mc didn't hog the show time like what would usually happen Yh, when I ended with "Midoriya could just be really passionate," I was referring to Stain the hero killer episodes (idk if it was was an arc or not). I felt that they wasn't enough to justify it. Funnily enough, I recall writing something similar at that time as well |
 |
| HHHHMMMMM Just having these adorable little idiots back doing nothing was great, having them here and ACTUALLY DOING SOMETHING... Its fantastic. Training has started, and it's... THE STRUGGLE HAS NEVER BEEN SO REAL. Ummm... also yall have me a bit concerned here, wasn't the first episode basically just a recap? Like, not an actual first episode? It was just filler and flashbacks, I don't think comparing the two is even really all that fair here. |
A Wild and Small Otaku has Appeared! |
| A really sloooow start to the new season. First that horrible filler episode, and now this super cringy summer camp episode with attempted peeking on the girls. Ridiculous!!! No matter what happens after, this season will be the worst of the three so far. |

 |
| aww,i recall from the manha that part with mineta and kota on the wall, but damn laugh so hard when he felt on his lida face and that punch, forgot about it this episode really put a smile on my face, but real things are about to start |
The spider is watching |
| what's really great about this anime is the accuracy and attention given to the source material, the pacing has a good flow without skipping the essential information |
|
| yes mineta, walls are meant to be climbed!! repect xD |
| Hmm... this episode was quite good, especially the bath scene :D |
| I really enjoyed this one! It was funny and action packed so me likey! Cannot wait to see what happens next. <3 |
| Kota is a mini Bakugou lol Although I still consider Kota to be the weakest part of this arc. Of course Mineta would try to climb the wall. Poor Iida got a face full of Mineta. Time for some more training! |
 |
| I think having a flashback episode at the beginning was sort of a mistake. I'm not sure if the series had a cap off OVA for the second season, so maybe it was necessary. Honestly this, kept in mind of the current rating, the third season should be taken into consideration in which perhaps this episode is actually episode 'one'. Plus sexy cat girls fuck yes. |

Corvus8 said: Ah yes, the actual first episode, nice. I hope we can all just pretend that the filler from last week never existed. I don't see the point of complaining about extra content. We got original scenes out of the episode. |

| 'Precocious brat' . Haha. |

Viltas said: jooleyhooley said: I actually really like the optic of having Kouta in this story, or even Bakugo in general. They offer a good contrast to Shigaraki. Bakugou never had villainous tendencies to begin with, he's just an ass. There is no doubt what so ever that he wants to become a hero. If you look at "hero" and "villain" as simply being a black and white titles then I guess you could have that perspective. It's overly simplistic IMO. Can you fully be a hero when you're that much of an ass though and more or less telling people to kill themselves? He's showing some growth and being much more cooperative with his peers, so he's on the right track at least. But I don't think he started off very heroic, he possessed personal qualities that a lot of villains tend to have (e.g. selfishness, a lack of caring for others, abusive behaviour). He's still one of my favourite characters though (for his growth, and the entertainment and humour he brings) and I find him way more interesting than Deku. I just think it's ridiculous to say he didn't have any villainous tendencies. Just because you're classified with the "hero" label doesn't absolve you of villainous characteristics and tendencies - you could make a similar case with Endeavor. But whatever. |

Just wanted to say I LOVE your avatar! |
|
| Uraraka is seeing Deku more and more as an interest... :) they’re so cute Oof training camp. I get what Esaer Head is saying. Though they’ve improved other skills They aren’t ‘stronger’ I’m excited to see this training and what the villains plan to do Also again Uraraka is going to win the ball thing because ... she literally gets infinity ... wow a queen Great Epiosde! |

Just because you're classified with the "hero" label doesn't absolve you of villainous characteristics and tendencies - you could make a similar case with Endeavor. But whatever. I'm not seeing it black and white. His views on bad and evil have been made crystal clear from the start and they will further showcase those once this season progresses. What you see as villainous tendencies depends on your definiton of what makes a villain a villain. He is just very rough around the edges. Not being nice doesn't equal being a villain or having villainous tendencies in my eyes. He's learning about life and people along his way of growing up. He's becoming a lot nicer over the arcs and realizes that to become a fully fledged hero you have to make those you rescue feel safe not intimidated. Maybe you're just misinterpreting his agressive nature. They really haven't. All we were privy to at the beginning of the series whether anime or manga was that he wanted to be the best hero of all time, and he saw this as an absolute eventual truth. That was more motivated by his ego and desire to best everyone else, which in and of itself doesn't really show much heroism in terms of quality but anyway. His views on bad and evil were only more fleshed out by the end of the first season where he came face to face with actual villainy during the hero rescue training, and they only increase as further arcs progress. I'm well aware of his progress later on, but that's not what I'm commenting on. I'm talking about where we are right now. And misinterpreting? We're analyzing a fictional character - it's subjective opinions we're dealing with, not objective facts. Lol! You have a simpler way of classifying the hero/villain dichotomy, and I'm looking at it in a more nuanced way. So we're going to be at an impasse. You're going to interpret it your way, and I'm going to interpret it my way. |

| Liked the training portions of the episode. It showed off the students and what they can do while also maintaining sense in all of it. They don't act brash and still cooperate. Kota is a character I already dislike. He comes off a kid character who suffered tragedy and takes it on others who had nothing to do with it. It's unreasonable, unlikable and never really justified. Bakugou's mentality is understandable when you look at his upbringing which provides an interesting perspective compared to Kota's which is just extremely unlikable. I'll see where they'll go with him and see how it plays out, but so far? Not a good first impression. Mineta is hilarious. Uraraka remembering what Aayoma told her, which makes her fluster up around Deku. Hey, where is Aayoma anyway? I didn't see him the entire episode or maybe he didn't catch my eye. |
| Sincerely, from Scorpio. |
thehund said: I second this; I would say by either 5th or 6th episode of this season you will be singing a different tune. Way sooner if you look at the future episodes' title |
| well the training camp starts... I hope it gets better than this |
 |
| And the training camp begins. The Pussycats are quite cute. They sure did gave everyone a tough time with those Earth Beasts, but Class A managed to make it. Class A did a good job working together. Poor Kota and his troubled past. Mineta and his perverted personality was amusing. Plus Ultra! |
 |
| They are making a bigger deal out of the Deku x Uraraka ship, guess that's a form of fanservice since it's a popular ship. Am not a big fan of ships in general but guess I'll let that slide since it will have importance towards the middle/end of the season. Otherwise it was perfectly adapted. Well done. Loved Mineta's Plus Ultra moment ;D |

You're going to interpret it your way, and I'm going to interpret it my way. Using smart words doesn't make you sound much smarter you know, you can talk to me like you would to any other person on the street. You can refrain from putting me into a drawer as well, it's getting cramped in here and it doesn't help your argument. Are you perhaps already this prejudiced of my argumentation that you're not open for further discussion? Then the question rises why you reply in the first place. This is a discussion post and I'm feeling like I'm not getting anything out of your replies other than - "you're under me lol." What does the term misinterpreting coming from me have to do with seeing my standpoint as objectively right? When did I ever use the word objective? We obviously have different opinions so your right is my wrong. That doesn't make your in my eyes wrong false. Catch my drift? I don't get this part of your reply, you're being a bit passive aggressive. Saying he could clearly become a villain is just wrong to me, and in a sense gives you a bit of a black & white POV. In your eyes he's having negative character traits that ultimately lead him to more likely become a villain. You're saying since his good will doesn't match his villain-like actions from the start that his intentions aren't clearly heroic. Did I get that part right? Quote: "They could definitely turn out all-around bad" That's where I already disagree. I really like your Endeavor comparison here, I can see where you're coming from. But even Endeavor, as Todoroki stated in Season 2, has the qualities that make a number 2 hero. His drive might seem villainous, but it is that very drive that has nothing to do with wanting to become a villain in the first place. If you have good intentions but force your way to get there in a non-heroic way you're not a villain and in my eyes don't want to ever become one anyways. You just don't get yet what being a hero really means as a character in that universe. "Smart words"? Better than you? I said we each had opinions of a different nature, putting us at an impasse. Opinions are unique to the holder, not better or worse than another... just different from one another. I'm sorry you're not getting anything other than "you're under me", but I have no idea where you get that. And saying that someone is misinterpreting something implies that their interpretation is incorrect in contrast to your own. And I'm saying that this whole notion is moot since we're dealing with subjective matter, our opinions. I think if you have villainous characteristics/personal traits that yes, you'd perhaps be more inclined to be radicalized (this word is kind of a bit too dramatic or harsh for what I'm describing, but I think you catch the gist of it). I guess you could also say corrupted to join a cause instead of radicalized. I think environmental factors can play a huge role, and why we see . I think environmental factors also play a huge role in keeping Bakugo in the straighter and narrower side of things so to speak. Even in the first season, All Might showed a lot of concern with Bakugo's tendencies, Okay, and FYI telling someone they're misinterpreting something or that they don't get what being a hero is in MHA is what's condescending here, lol. So it's kind of funny that you're accusing me of that earlier in your post. I plainly get what it means to be a "hero" in that world. What I'm saying is that in terms of personal qualities, they're not really determinants of whether or not a person is socially labelled a "hero" or a "villain" there. There are lawful and chaotic personalities on both sides IMO. So essentially heroic qualities and heroic titles are not one in the same, as villainous qualities and villainous titles are also not one in the same. To me, it takes more than a title to make a hero... even in that world. And this is a subjective view, not an objective fact. Similarly, saying it doesn't take more than a title to be a hero would also be a subjective view, and not an objective view. What you interpret as my condescension, is really not that. Namely, I believe we have different views, not superior or inferior views. |

| Great episode, great buildup to this season! |

| The episode felt really simple. But it was still fun. I felt like some scenes got omitted or cut out. Am I wrong? I felt there were some scenes that should be there. |
| Great episode. Mineta is up to his usual shenanigans (which is hilarious btw). Figures that iida, Midoriya, Todoroki, and Bakugo would do the best on the journey to the lodge. Kota’s past may be sad, but I think he’ll have a better opinion of heroes in time. |
| I love the little clips with Class B. Also We're starting to see more of the villain league. |
| modge |
| Wild pussycats ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°) i like what iam watching Another, well good build-up epusode for MHA |
 |
| Hopefully the slog through these early episodes to get to the main course is worth it. Also, everything to do with Mineta is absolute cancer. |
| I always loved that honest side of Mineta. |
| The bath scene with Mineta is everything that is correct in anime. |
 |
| Summer traning camp started earlier and we had quite some nice action cause of it. I am loving the character design of those Pussycats. Poor Deku, that must have hurt! (that one hit KO to the crotch) Mineta's perverted side never fails to amuse me. Camp will start properly now and Eraser Head's grin at the end though, he makes it seem it will be more like a "hell training camp". |
 |
| Mineta is awesome. Deal with it. |
| I AM SO HYPEDDDDDDDDDDD My Deku x Ochako shipppppp <3 |
| The pussycats ladies have unispiring desings, not to mention that the blonde one is so similar to Momo. Kota on his flashbacks looks like young Deku. However their characters are good and I hope they get some development in the season. The action was great, the choreography decent and I hope that this season steps up the quality. 3/5 |
 |
| Really fun episode and boy am I glad to be getting new Hero Aca content |

Heiach said: The previous episode is considered as episode 39 for the overall series and episode 1 of the third season. It's not labeled as episode 0 anywhere. The first "episode" of the second season was labeled as episode 13.5 overall, and episode 0 for the second season.Is this episode 2 or episode 1 (with the previous episode being episode 0 as it was entirely filler and a re-cap)? Have they released episode 0 as a separate entry on MAL yet? |
 |
| Mineta is really annoying. Honestly, I would love everything about this series if he was just not present at all. Otherwise, another fantastic episode. Can't wait to see more Dabi. |
