Pretty chill episode with the gathering of Deku, Bakugo, and all the other important heroes. Reflecting back on recent events, it looks like Deku isn't forgetting about what he went through either.

Glad to see everyone enjoying the Christmas holiday mood and those are some cute santa hats! I like that special theme song they threw in the episode too. Perfect for the mood.

That Shigaraki clip at the beginning was some serious shit and the rest of the episode was pretty chill and that IzuOcha moment was cute too and that My.Lafy and Midnight fanservice was poggers.

"Trick or treat" yeah you can tell that she came from an abusive "family"

Mirko still baddest girl, but Midnight and MT. Lady ain't shabby at all. I enjoyed the interviews and the Christmas part a lot. Was just a bit surprised to see it now. Thought it would come after the next arc.

Todoroki and Bakugo's interview had me dying! The episode was another set-up one, but much more fun imo, and felt more cohesive as the plot points laid down were clearer and you can guess what's probably going to happen. If only they did this for the beginning of the season!

Anyways, like I said the interview was jokes, Bakugo's entire part got cut out of him just shouting at todoroki and only the corner of his head was visible LOL. Then the Mt.Lady interview killed me more, 'if you smile more you'll slay the ladies' 'I'll kill women if I smile?' So pure xD.

Seems like trouble's brewing - who would've guess huh?- as the kids are basically being forced into another work experience bout, but most of the heroes seem to be preoccupied or missing, showing how dire the situation really is. Bakugo's naming sense is truly reminiscent of Chuunibyou syndrome at this point but I can't disagree with him, they do sound badass for a villain that is!

Christmas party seems to be lighthearted but there were darker undertones laced throughout, and the trailer for the next episode does confirm that things are going to go weird fast, let's wait and see how the kids manage to worm themselves out of this one, especially with deku's OP single black whip that disintegrates as soon as he uses it xD!

The opening scene of the teaser for Tomura Shigaraki: the Origin story, now that's a BIG tragedy down the line.

The interview with the pissed-off Bakugo and vacant Todoroki of the usual Heroes saving circumstance, hah. Cutting off Bakugo totally was such a joke lols. But make no mistake, the incident in Deika City is just the beginning.

Hah, the fanservice of Mt. Lady and Midnight though, those bouncy boobs and delicious asses. Practicing Hero interviews for media appearances, well...this puts them in line for future spotlights...except the brash Bakugo again, he's to avoid the media. Izuku is DED stiff though for his phobia of stage frights, though to master One For All's Vestiges' powers would take a lot of willpower to break the doors open.

Restarting the internship work studies on a school-wide scale, manga readers already will know what's gonna happen down the pipeline. For now, it's the celebration of Christmas for all U.A. students. Nice to see Centipede and Bubble Girl for a cameo, as is Best Jeanist for showing Bakugo the world, that is "Explosion" is his Hero name lols. Even Eri and Aizawa-sensei joined in on the fun, though the cutesy Santa Eri mistaking Christmas for other holidays is funny. Even the IzuOcha moment is cute as well.

This will be the LAST time that we'll see these slice-of-life moments, because shit's gonna go down quick and fast for the 2nd Cour of MHA...My Villiain Academia is here to rock the world apart VERY SOON, with a new OST!

The opening sequence with Bakugo and Todoroki being interviewed was hilarious. They cut every Bakugo part in the interview. LOL. Also, since now all of them are gonna get more exposure to the media, they're going to get trained for the interviews. Todoroki clueless as ever, Bakugo suddenly becoming the loud and funny character that's put there to make everyone laugh, I like him this way more, and Deku being ridiculously bad at interviews. LMAO

In the second half, looks like all the UA students are going for the internship once again, they haven't decided yet tho. But, apart from that, it's Christmas Day and everyone is having a fun party. Santa Eri is here as well and she's adorable as ever. It was a fun episode, felt more like a filler since nothing major happened. But, upcoming episodes look much more promising.

Todoroki and Bakugo's interview was golden. Todoroki considers them to be friends :')

I love that Endeavor' s influence was mentioned ~ His drive is pushing other top heroes to be and do their best, too.

LOL, Nezu is such a wacky principal. Poor Aizawa.

Well, Bakugo never changes, even TV has to censor him.

Almost, that's something, although I still feel he is mastering the quirk very quickly...
God, Eri in Santa's clothes is so cute AAAAAA (≧◡≦)

Pretty relaxing episode, not boring but I hope the next one will be more interesting

This felt very out of place - or rather out of time, for me here in the summer heat, anyway. Nevertheless, it was fun, especially with Eri's random appearance; but also the shenanigans with Bakugou, or Nezu sitting on Aizawa... lol.

Being honest I was cautiously optimistic about how this episode would go considering the rearranging of events from the manga but I'm very happy with how this episode went. I think Bones knows exactly what they're doing building up tension with the disaster as Deika City. Along with that amazing shot of Shigaraki to open this episode! I mean holy hell did my eyes get wide when we saw him there! Oh man this is gonna be good. The meat of this episode was good too. I worried about the episode only having the interview practice and Christmas party being too stale but I think they did it well. The practice interviews with Mt Lady were funny especially Deku and Todoroki. It kept things light while also sprinkling in information about a foreboding presence that's overtaken society. People have to encourage heroes instead of criticize them since heroes are teetering on a dangerous edge. There's been so many dangerous occurrences that society has to rethink how they approach heroes. With a new number one things have changed. The Christmas was nice seeing Eri again, she's just so darn cute in her Santa outfit! Mixing up holidays like a little cutie! The whole montage of them exchanging gifts with that insert song was good too. Then with an after credits of Shoto inviting Bakugo and Deku to join him interning with number one himself. I have confidence things can progress well with the anime even with the rearrangement. There's a lot of awesome moments coming up.

SPOILERS True but for example my anime only friend instantly asked me this question when he saw this: Since when can Shigaraki just level a town? That's a pretty big spoiler in my book but y not that huge of a thing I guess. I'm very concerned for the Endeavor agency arc since it will spoil a LOT of things from MVA or there will be things that make little sense. Even just showing Hawks interacting with the MLA before MVA is kinda what?

Manga readers is it just me or does it sound like they are skipping over the next arc and onto the endeavour agency arc with only mentioning it, if so I'm going to be very disappointed because I am looking forward to see the arc that is supposed to be after the class battles(I forgot the name of it)

Pretty fun and wholesome episode, but the beginning with Shigaraki.. ITS BEGINNING!
After the agency arc tho but whatever. Eri was really cute. Christmas arc is over and now the real shit will start. New OP and ED in the next episode.

God, what a boring episode. Found my self skimming with the arrow keys just to get it over with. I only enjoyed the 10 seconds or so of Eri.

Also, they pushed the Meta Liberation Army arc back and are instead adapting the chapters after which are more drama and dialogue-heavy than action from what I recall. From the class exercise to this. Just toss the whole season away.

If you really think the whole season is worth tossing away, why continue to keep up with this season of the show?

Because you’ve commented on every single episode thread, expressing similar sentiments on many of them.


You could just not watch it or skip it. Does it not seem like a waste of time to you to continue to engage with something you view as worthless? Or is your free time that expendable?

That opening sequence with Shigaraki at the beginning was VERY interesting. Seeing him smile while causing huge destruction around him in Deika City certainly makes me look forward to the second half of this season as a whole, even though the arc related to this won't happen just yet.

Either way, the rest of the episode itself was wholesome and had plenty of funny moments, with one highlight being when Mt Lady was doing the mock interviews and, during Todoroki's turn, he misinterpreted her words about his "killer smile" and thought that his smile could actually kill the ladies. The fact that his reaction was genuine made this moment even funnier.

Then came the Christmas Eve party where everyone, apart from Bakugo, was wearing red or green Christmas outfits. Then Aizawa came along, who introduced "Santa Eri" to everyone...

And here I thought that Milim from Slime Diaries would be my undisputed choice for cutest female in a Christmas outfit this year, but Eri would give her a good battle, as she not only looked adorable as heck, but she got her holidays mixed up, from the "Trick or treat" halloween greeting, to giving out Easter eggs, while I'm watching this episode in the summer. I'm fine with this.......really...... XD

With the calm and relaxing party out of the way, Todoroki inviting Bakugo and Deku to join him to work with Endevour for their work studies should be pretty promising. I expect the second half of this series to be rather intense now, so I hope it lives up to the hype the manga readers are saying. =P

Particularly I found this episode very interesting, although Bones has reduced the animation which makes me very sad, yet the arc to come will be interesting, for those who don't follow the manga, the curiosity about Shigaraki at the beginning of the episode is exciting .
