THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE.
----------------------------------------
Props for making the narrative of this episode sound so exciting. Tbh, even Mineta got his own entertaining moment from this fight.

A hell of a fight as expected and well deserved victory. Well done, Team 1-A! And lol, they managed to drop a cute tease for Deku and Urakara. Amusing.

You already know when the theme song is playing in the background of a Shonen some stuffs about to go down and I have to say this episode went from strength to strength. Uraraka x deku developed a tad more and shinso's revelation was quite solid too.

So deku wanted to fight quirkless in a fight filled with supporting style quirks, guess it could have worked tbh, but the class b's quirks synergised extremely well together so against their specific comp in all honesty I doubt it would have worked. But it was a great idea going after the pure supporting type shinso since if he can't brainwash you, its basically a slug fest so deku did well to identify the weak point there.

Honestly quite shocked at monoma stealing one for all, thought he was going to do an internal bakugo but apparently it was a fake? Got slightly confused about that, if someone could explain to me what that was it would be much appreciated thanks. He clearly had the green lightning around him but he didn't copy it?

Monoma deciding to trap the field reminded me a lot of last season's world trigger season 2 where osamu learnt support style abilities that even when he was taken out he could impact the field, great stuff. Thought deku was going to lose but he managed to activate one for all further and take out shinso, much to his dismay.

Pinky's and grape guy's interaction had me dying, once a pervert always a pervert.

Class A won. Shock I know, but some great lessons were taught, like to be a hero doesn't necessarily mean 1 vs 1 strength but it depends on who was most prepared to take the necessary action. Solid stuff.

Tbh it was a decent conclusion to an otherwise somewhat hit or miss arc, with more misses than I'd like to expect but hyped about next arc because apparently its a good one. I do honestly hope next arc won't be more padded than this arc, since its kinda getting tiring to skip through around 6 minutes of 'content' to watch the new stuff.

SIDENOTE: Another good thing about this episode was the class a tsundere himself, bakugo and how concerned he truly was whenever deku was seen lol.

Man... I really wanted Monoma to use Deku's quirk and lose an arm or something. The guy's too cocky. But, anyway, the match got really tense as Class A and B both were trying their best to beat the other team. Deku even got control over the improved quirk for a little while.

The good thing was he didn't lose his composure this time and managed to beat Shinso at last and Class A defeated Class B. They also won all over. But, you can see how close these matches were. Class B is no pushover when it comes to competing with the others.

As expected of the opening to reuse previous episode's content and pad for time, it's no surprise.

No matter if Izuku's Quirk goes berserk or not, the 5th and final match will resume. Never thought I'd see both Ashido and Mineta work together in strange ways, while Izuku and Uraraka fight their own battle against Monoma being a stronghold.

Shinso has come a long way not to lose this battle against Izuku utilizing One For All's powers, starting with one of the vestige's Black Whip, while the rest (Uraraka, Ashido and Mineta) are doing what they're told to (lest Izuku goes out of control). But with another complete 4-0 victory, Class 1-A has won the final impetus, leaving Shinso with enough experience with twice the act.

Another Izuku X Uraraka moment of highlight, and of course not to mention that she bailed hard, but she's vastly different and improved from the days of the School Tournament arc in Season 2.

With that said, we've finally reached the end of yet another "tournament" arc. The next arc is what everyone has long-awaited for.

Of course they won this match and they won the tournament overall, class A is sure skilled, Uraraka was great in this episode she was probably my fav character for this one, I wish they showed more of this match though because it was clearly one of the most interesting ones so far, and it's finally the end of this arc xD

We get another new variation of "You Say Run" but I'll never ever get bored. In fact, the soundtrack outshines all element in this episode, it's Hollywood quality, the kind of music I expect from cinematic universe with hundred million of budget in production.

Deku is gonna need even more muscle to perfect One for All quirk, it'd be no surprised if in the end he's as buff as All Might. And Bakugo and Todoroki too, they'll probably end up full of muscle like All Might and Endeavor. But that's a good thing for me. I love big guy!

LOL at how Aizawa want Shinso to be a "quiet hero" like him. But did Shinso pass the test? Will he transfer to hero course? And if he pass, then in what room? 1A or 1B?

Finally this arc is over. MY god it was lame. Of course there are some dope stuff and important moments. I still love my hero academia. But this arc is weakest arc in the history of mha so far. If you did not think they will win I do not know what to say to you. I am just happy that this arc is finally over and now we can come back to the Real My Hero Academia stuff. Looking forward to that.

Hitoshi has become stronger and you can see that he has evolved well by eraser that fits him well as a Sensei. I looking forward to his development, and ochaco is also stronger with her martial arts.
Deku will have seven other skills from all users and he need to controll them all!

After two good episodes, Boku no Hero was back to the boredom the first 8 episodes were, also the fact that Deku managed to control the new quirk even for a second was ridiculous considering how much of a loose canon that quirk had been shown to be. Hopefully the new arc will be a better one.

This episode was alright but I couldn't help but feel a little letdown, sure he has his new power (that he now cannot use for a while) but come on, sticking with 8% still? and on top of that, the episode was padded with flashbacks out the ass. I understand the first 2 minutes being a recap but just let the show progress for Christ's sake, let's not make a naruto 2.0. For an episode it's alright, for my favorite anime, I'm glad this terrible arc is over.

Class A won the final match and won the whole class battle tournament overall, no surprise there. I really hoped the anime would have been able to make this arc more enjoyable for me than how it was reading it in the manga but unfortunately that wasn't the case, except for maybe 2 or 3 episodes. Oh well, we just need to get through next week's aftermath episode and we can put this arc behind us. I have faith that the arc coming up will be more consistently enjoyable.

Great episode showing the last match between class a and class b. Deku and Shinso both fighting to show how far they've come. Not quite as exciting as last episode but still fun to see the match conclude in this way. Deku going straight at Shinso not letting him get any kind of advantage. Trying to use that new blackwhip power but only lasting for a second. It won't be a power that Deku can just use whenever he wants, its gonna take some mastering. Uraraka doing a great job this episode taking down most of the class b team. She put Monoma in the cage along with Yanagi and constraining Kodai with Mineta grapes. Uraraka has definitely matured like Erasure said, she's moving without thinking jumping in to save her teammate Deku while also taking down the baddies. Mina and Mineta going head to head with Shoda, Kodai and Yanagi for a while. Keeping them busy until backup arrived. A great showing by the class a team here they earned the victory. Everyone showed how far they've come. Now with the matches over its time to wrap this arc up.

That scene was the best part of the episode for me, but why would deku blush if he partially wasn't thinking during the whole incident, meanwhile iirc the girls have been teasing Uraraka about deku.

Implying: those were good fights and that constant fights equals enjoyment. Also, the minor character development wasn't worth happening over 11 episodes. That's why people on the other episodes' discussions were saying that this arc was so much better in the manga, most likely because it was shorter than the adaptation for the anime.

Honestly, I enjoyed the first and third fights as well. Thought they were quite fun.

This is more of a calm before the storm type of arc and understanding that made me enjoy it more than most I guess.

Especially when I know the state of the story now in comparison, the mostly light-hearted pace was a nice reprieve.

Kinda dissapointed with this episode to be honest, the class B team looked so promising but then they sorta just gave up. Monoma's "last contribution" did absolutely nothing to Deku, and the part when he copied his quirk was so anti-climactic. I have a feeling Shinsou will just be put completely aside for 2 seasons now that he's given Deku a bit of development. All in all i'm really dissapointed with the direction the show is heading, MHA has so many good side characters, but the only characters that are focused on are Deku and Todoroki.

The hero class battle has come to an end, and once again Class B has been outclassed by A.

We finally get to see Shinso joining the hero course now that he's passed the test - three seasons after he claimed to be aiming for a course transfer.

Am I the only one who wants to see Aizawa's hair in a ponytail more often? That hairstyle looks really good on him and much better than his usual mop style. =P

Either way, the battle is over and it was a pretty close one all-throughout. Once Deku got himself under control after the emergence of his new power, he was able to get on with it to take down Shinso. Uraraka, the MVP of the entire match for me, caught Monoma and was able to get back in time to help Mineta and Ashido to turn the tide of the fight in their favour.

We still had a few moments where the episode got me laughing, like how Mineta bouncing into Ashido's breasts while saving her from an attack (lucky bastard) and Ashido teasing Uraraka about Deku, which made her blush hard, was a super cute moment, too.

Class A won overall, thankfully, but I'm still impressed with how class B performed. Same with Shinso, as his overall performance was enough for a passing grade from Aizawa, but I do like how he wants to do better than what he did here. =)

After an enjoyable episode last week we're back to the panning still shots of characters talking about how inadequate they feel and thinking about what they'll do. The exact opposite of what I want. At least this tournament mess has finally concluded but there's still another episode wasted with wrap up next week. Best part of the episode was easily seeing Uraraka put in some work, short-lived as it was.

Not really much happened in this episode tbh.Except that pacing has really improved.So next episode will be left as a cooldown and then the villain arc will start from 13?
Btw it is later explained why Monoma wasn't able to copy Deku's quirk.

Well it seems real world experience comes through over book knowledge but if you look at it the 2 in class 1-b who do have experience Kendo and Tetsutetsu won and tied respectively in their matches the only other one who was still conscious in that arc was Awase (quirk weld) and in his match he was the only one to actually put Bakugou in a pinch.

Ehh episode ,they wasted the first 3 minutes on a recap. :/

Monoma's "last contribution" really did nothing to Midoriya lol

I wish Shinso did more this episode than just run away and get caught. I expected some new technique but nah. And they really didn't have any use of Shinso's mask during this whole match. Shame, the way he used the mask before was really fun.

I like the "oh fuck" moment when we realise Monoma would explode into pieces if he used OFA. Everyone there needs to realise that Deku didn't just get super strong with 0 repercussions.

I'm not the biggest MHA fan but the past 5 episodes have been mint. So much good stuff even if its a meme at this point how many training arcs MHA has (and that some are better then actual confrontations in arcs). Deku got the whip quirk which was going crazy but he reigned it in for at least a little bit before getting exhausted. 8% OFA overwhelms most characters in the show so its a good balance for Deku's physical strength, endurance, efficiency and health. 15 to 20% (atm) makes him too much of a glass cannon.

Nice episode, surprised with Mineta actually doing something, but the new quirk for Deku feels weird, just like "Hey there will be more interesting stuff to come so don't drop this show because of nonstop festivals and shit", but he still won't be able to use it for a while, I'll wait for it ok but why the tease man.

Fantastic episode and conclusion to the arc. The arc we've been patiently waiting for is upon us, let's fucking go. I really loved the post match review, Aizawa is based as always. Damn, Shinso going all spiderman was dope, but our green spiderman wasn't about to let the purple spiderman get all the glory. That final sequence of Deku capturing Shinso was really smooth. Uraraka was mvp though. Really looking forward to the next episode and a new arc.

Everyone did great! Mineta, how unbelievable! Guess it's very Mineta, so it's to be expected what is his true goal was >_>; It was very risky for Monoma to try and use Deku's quirk, but glad he didn't activate it or we all know what could have happened... Mina wanted to hear some confession come out from Uraraka, and that blushing is so obvious >w> Deku could have blushed too! It could be too funny to watch both of them getting nervous X3 Can't wait to start the next arc! It's going to be hype!
