GOD, I'm a freaking moron. I pissed myself off watching this episode because of the tickle scene. People were making such a big deal about on my social media, both defending and attacking it, and I spent 2 DAYS PREPARING FOR IT. And it was literally the most nothing thing ever. Can't even call it fan-service... Episode was good though and Bubble Girl is cute and blue and I like blue.

I think it ’s difficult to require the humor for Deku. But, I'm sure he can join Sir Nighteye's agency because Mirio's gags are not good neither.

Well ... things got serious and very dangerous, Overhaul is a character that I liked very much and his quirk is just as lethal as Shigaraki's, but I still think Overhaul has more to offer.

For a moment I thought that Overhaul would agree to work alongside Shigaraki's group, but they were not in the same harmony and this ended with the death of Magne in the hands of Overhaul, I must admit that the way Magne exploded was quite bloody and graphic, Compress then makes the same mistake and ends up losing his arm, but I don't think Shigaraki leaves things this way anyway.

Izuku wants to do his internship with Sir Nighteye, but apparently things are not very good between All Might and Sir Nighteye, besides he believes that Izuku should perfect his quirk first, but in the end he gives in and asks Mirio to present Izuku.
That little moment with Nejire was too beautiful and the good Mirio is still very funny, I'm glad he can help Izuku.

I can finally see Bubble Girl again, she is so cute and Sir Nighteye is so cruel with that "torture" against her.
I must admit that Sir Nighteye has a gaze that would make any villain shit in his pants, but the most important thing is that Izuku ruined his first impression with who his future mentor will be.

I enjoyed the villain clash a tad bit even if its a bit corny, other than that kind of a forgettable episode.

Introducing a new villain, (which will probably be a McGuffin) and sidelining the old ones when we already have an anti-hero sort of sounds like impulsive writing to me.
The plot is going to get dragged through the mud it seems.
It depends on how they handle them throughout the arc, if they are also active and going against the arc villain group then thats actually pretty interesting, if they just yeet themselves from the plot until the very end though then thats just bad writing.

I like the Idea of shiggy as a villain alot, him growing parallel to the main character, but I do think the series really needs to kick it into gear with him and actually make him more of a threat if hes gonna be the main antagonist. Cause so far him and league of villains have pretty much only jobbed and it wasnt exactly a show of power for overhaul to throw them off this episode, when its essentially been the norm for them to lose their cool or lose outright. This arc SHOULD be the opportunity to expand on him alot and assert his dominance over a rising rival so hopefully it doesnt waste that

Most critique of anything in this medium comes with a staunch defense of escapism usually projected from the defense. It's refreshing to see someone using their brain for once.
To be against a sense of escapism (especially in anime/manga/any form of media) isn't my intention, however; being in the garden is fine, it's when we're traveling to Mars (metaphorically speaking) that's when it gets a bit ridiculous.

Coming from someone who can only assume how it's going to play out, (since I haven't read the manga) I'm only seeing relatively similar plot-lines based on other anime/real life media I've consumed. The chances of this being different in that respect are incredibly slim. I just want to get it across that this isn't cynicism.

Shigaraki, at least from the writers perspective, is a dead character at this point. If this character doesn't have a break-away moment he's going to be left behind. The Yakuza are here to replace him; quite literally, Kouhei seems to acknowledge this, which sort of breaks the 4th wall for me a bit.
Kouhei is juggling way too many balls at once. As previously said, in retrospect, we already have Katsuki as an anti-hero - we don't need this forced faction to come in and bug Shigaraki. Simply put, the only way to put it: this is shounen jump material. It has to up the anti constantly and the story is going to pay for it.
The story so far, don't even get me started. I would've preferred if Deku denied All Might's advancements and became sort of an anti-hero himself or a Batman-like hero (with no powers).
Would've been original. I don't like where this is going.
Lie until what you want to be true becomes truth. Lie until you can't remember what's a lie and what isn't.  Lie until you aren't lying anymore!

This episode reminds me of Dragon Ball Z. Where King Kai will only train Goku if he'll be able to make him laugh. It takes a good talent to make someone laugh though. I commend Deku for his effort.

She got him back. If you understand the characters well enough, you'd know she did!

Can't stand how they keep telling me about quirks at the beginning and how they STILL show info on every character everytime they show up, god stop it already, actually show and don't keep telling or guess what, you already have for most of this characters 3 seasons ago.

Finally what seems like a competent villain shows up, liked how they actually killed 2 characters even though 1 shows for 3 seconds, hate how in shows all about fighting usually nobody dies. I hope Overhaul takes over, always like a smart villain with a plan.

but the second part was so much more funny and highligth...

Holy shit! An actual death in Boku no Hero Academia! Kenji Hikiishi is the first character to die in this show! Didn't see that coming. Nice to know that the creator isn't afraid of killing off his characters. Would've been annoyed if nobody ever died in this anime.

Does anyone else get the strong sense of genericness from this, at this point in the anime? They keep trying to introduce more characters and each one is a new fail. I barely feel like watching this anymore, Midoriya is cringe.

Although it was ep 2, I just feel like I know what's going to happen at this point. New character gets introduced, then resolved. This anime (manga story) played too long a game rather than getting to the point.

Getting rid of all-might was risky.

LMAO sir nighteye is very strange and idk how Deku will do if he does his work study with him lol very interesting characters so far.
also interesting to see some unrest and chaos amongst the villians as Overhaul is introduced. I'm curious as to how this will play out for shigaraki now that there is some competition for the new leader of the evil organizations

So the beginning showed what we saw at the very end of season 3 with the meeting of Overhaul and Shigaraki. The conversation got very intense. But almost everything Overhail said was true. Shigaraki made a lot of mistakes and it didn't seem that he had a real plan even with all these new villains who came up to him.

I knew something would happen as soon as Overhaul mentioned he could be the new number one villain. But holy shit from one second to another Magne died (RIP) and Mr. Compress lost his arm. Overhaul is a pretty scary dude and Tsuda Kenjirou fits so perfect for him. I guess Shigaraki and Overhaul won't become friends in the future.

Second half was the absolute opposite. It's nice to see more of Mirio. Seems like because of him Midoriya will become a chance to meet Sir Nighteye. Who had thought that Sir Nigheye likes humor? He looks way to serious what you would expect it :D

That tickle machine tho lol. I personally think Midoriyas All Might impression is pretty funny but doesn't seem that Sir Nighteye agrees with it. Will be interesting too see if Midoriya can convince him.

I remember how shocked I was seeing Magne's death being the first one outright shown in the series and this didn't fail to deliver. The villains have absolutely no chill here, killing others from the same side without batting an eye.

Togata was able to introduce Deku to Nighteye but it looks like his accommodating behavior really was the least he could do considering how much of a tough customer All Might's former sidekick is. As funny as it is, making a mock impression of a superfan's favorite hero who that person actually worked with before was a very bad idea.

It's weird to see it translated as "work study" when they're saying "intern". But the job shadow thing they did before was already translated as internship, so maybe this is more accurate, or maybe Funi just effed up.

Midoriya's room is still a little weird to me. He knows All Might and has seen that he's also just a normal guy so having all that All Might stuff on display just seems weird. Maybe he'll slowly add more meaningful things, like that picture Tane gave him of himself and All Might.

Gran Torino giving Midoriya some advice. Yeah he didn't get any offers from the sports festival, but All Might has connections he can use. It's kind of like cheating but not really, All Might chose him. It's too bad All Might had to retire so Midoriya can't fight alongside him to learn.

"Mag Onee" was the least interesting in the League of Villains, glad he was the one who got exploded by yakuza plague boy and not one of the others.

Denki's playing with Ojiro's tail again lol

Midoriya begging All Might to introduce him to Sir Nighteye in the staff room while the other teachers butted in was hilarious. Midoriya is always so excited.

I like Togata a lot. He's a good sempai to Midoriya. I hope All Might isn't having regrets about choosing Midoriya now that he's met Togata. I'm also not entirely sure that Togata isn't his secret love child. They look similar and have the same presence.

Nighteye is a freak, poor Bubblegirl.

I thought Midoriya's All Might impression was funny.

I hope Midoriya can drag the details out of All Might soon, I want to know exactly how he and Nighteye fell out.

I wonder what his quirk is, something with small bullets...?

I felt so sorry for Bakugo when Aizawa announced that wouldn't allow hero work studies
(or what they called it, I forgot) but then said that it was okay for the first-years xD
