| Very interesting episode First off, the episode in itsef was great, the content was great and it was really well presented. That Shigaraki sequence was excellent despite some lackluster lighting. So now it's certain that they are switching Endeavor Agency and MVA, this is a weird choice and we can only speculate about their reasons even tho they are guessable. Whatever their reason are, they aren't making it easy for themselves at Bones, because a lot of the tension in EA is built upon what happened in MVA, so if they adapt EA as it was in the manga, it will blatantly spoil the outcome of MVA which would be a HUGE shame. They're clearly taking the approach of having MVA building up as this mysterious event that shook the story in ways we still don't know as viewers, which on paper is def super cool and an original way of adapting, but MVA is a great arc because it's surprising, and while the surprise isn't already completely spoiled yet, I'm afraid they will show too much. Next episode will probably confirm whether or not that was a good call or not, as of right now I'm not 100% convinced. |
Zooz80 said: emraanash said: thanks for the explanation. so they are going to show villain academy arc in movie or season 6? Nop, my villain academia arc is going to be the main plot of this second cour. Since endeavor's arc doesn't have any big fight, they decide to move the villain arc climax to the end of this season for people to stay hyped to the next season. Season 6 will focus on the biggest arc of the series, not just in terms of what happens but also because it has 54 chapters. I didn't know that, thank you so much for the infos. |

Red_Ranger_Wien said: I will be nice to you and explain what filler means:TheOneOfSeven said: It wasn't a filler episode, this...was actually canon in the manga as well. And? It was still very much filler/padding. Filler is a non-canon episode, most famous ones are beach episodes which hold no connection to the story. But if they adapt from a manga and add a beach episode which is in the manga, then it's not a filler. You are welcome. |

Being canon or in the manga does not mean it's not filler. Just because it became popular for anime fans to only refer to "non-canon" material as filler doesn't mean other kinds of filler don't exist. |
| This episode was so cute, especially Santa Eri omg~ Might've been better if it didn't air in June though lol. Deku and Bakugo working with Endeavour will be interesting. And Dabi's in the next episode too x3 |
| So many fillers, I can safely say out of these 13 episodes only 2 episodes' worth content were given |
| هیچوقت بهتر نمیشه |
| Having read the latest chapter of manga, Midoriya wishing for a Happy Christmas next year hits hard |
 |
| L O L they deadass cut Bakugou out from the interview & he was so pressed about not getting any exposure lol!!!!!!!!! Shouto is such a cute little puppy♡ Wowie Christmas festivities in the middle of the year (for us) lolllllol. At least Kacchan wore the jacket at the end xD You could only see his back view but Shouto was definitely stuffing his face with food LOL they should have showed it to us!!!!! No one can get enough of his chewing. And Eri was so cute!!!!!! Deku’s words always make me wanna cry. What’s up with that foreshadowing. The next arc is definitely going to be good. Because there’s going to be D A B I |
 ꕤ but i’ll probably remember over and over again you were there and everyone else was there — the day we all searched for just one thing ꕤ |
| I feel like the Endeavor training arc will be kinda cool but I'm not sure I feel like this anime is going the generic route |
 |
I mean...he wasn't wrong. Also, although I know the last arc was necessary to bring in Shinso and also show character development, really relieved to move on |
| So now that the ED for this part of the season is over, I have to ask: whose birthday was it?? All Might's? Deku's? Aizawa's? Horikoshi's??? |
 |
| when Midoriya said he hoped to have another xmas party next year it broke my heat </3 |

| So is that a real Christmas song that played during the party or one MHA made up? Cause I was sorta diggin it and wouldn't mind blasting that around Christmas time |
 |
| YESSSS!!!!! ALL 3 OF THEM ARE GOING TO THE SAME HERO, ENDEAVOR! I love this. I like Bakugou more now and those 3 are basically the most powerful students. The Christmas party song was so heartwarming, seeing everyone happy felt good. But now, what is going to happen. Why is gran torino not available at such an important time. Also rip Nighteye, I still haven't forgotten that scene :'(. Best Jeanist is also nowhere to be found apparently? Don't recall seeing this before so it' my first time hearing about it but I'm not surprised. Seeing the sad part of Bakugou sure feels good. |
Come on man,where is that Noragami season 3 masterpiece.We want it, Bones! |
| Todoroki's interview with Mount Lady was funny. He really can be dense sometimes. The entire Christmas segment had me smiling. |
 |
| Shoto: if I'm smile, they die? Lmao Eri Santa saying Trick or Treat just so adorable Lmao Mineta got Aoyama Photo and Eri got the Giant Sword. Funny Christmas Episode. New Arc next episode? Finally. |
 |
| ite mayb da show wil start bein interestin now 🙄🥱🤭 |
 |
| Boy this episode is even more bittersweet if you're caught up with the manga |
| Oh, great. More Endeavor. I hate that guy. |
| The previous ep was chill, this ep goes far and beyond with its mellow and charming atmosphere. A Christmas ep, where everyone is basking in all the fun together. It's wonderful... Wonderfully ironic. The red flags are already being hinted at how tense the Hero Agency is becoming... With all that being said, it's time to return to some more action with Endeavour in the next ep. |
  |
| Lmao Shoto's interviews are always hilarious. Also when Deku was nervous and standing stiff, Kaminari was like "When did he learn my Hardening?" I couldn't hold my laughter lol. Also Mt. Lady's ass and Midnight's tiddies' shots by Bones are never disappointing :D Eri is so damn cute and precious. PROTECT HER AT ALL COSTS. Aye they gonna go their work study under Endeavour. |

| This is a very ominous line to close the episode with |
If you are going to disagree with me, don't bother talking to me. I will seriously hurt you! |
| The joke that Todoroki slays the ladies with his smile is both hilarious and true. |
| Shigaraki at the start hyped me, where he went :/ lol |
| Ngl I actually liked this episode!!! Why?? Eri ofc!!!! It was kinda cute when she said "Trick or Treat"!!! Also Eri and Tokoyami carrying a large sword reminded me of Guts(from Berserk) Welp I'm glad everyone had fun in the Christmas party |

| So if I understand correctly, the villain academia arc is what's supposed to come next, but they swapped it with the endeavor agency arc since their 3rd movie supposedly occurs during that time, allowing them to release side by side each other. They just give us the tease at the beginning to assure the fans that that arc is indeed coming- just not yet. First we got some work to do with Endeavor. Best visuals in any OP or ED from this series so far in this first ED of season 5. Just some panning stills, but pretty good looking ones imo of just the class out shopping. Idk, I just like it. |
  NYANPASU  whiskey tango foxtrot |
| Great episode, Santa Eri so cuuuute! |
| I'm Bruneian and I like anime. And Manchester United. And fat cats. |
| Bit of a filler episode but I enjoyed it. I feel like with the coming chaos the villians are going to cause we need to this wholesomeness. Because after this we might not get much of it for a significant amount of time. Plus, Who doesn't love Eri, I always melt whenever shes on screen shes just too cute. I love how she does stuff for every other holiday except for Christmas, that had me laughing. |
 |
| Everybody loves Eri! I lol'd when she said "In sickness, and in health." :P Will Deku and Bakugou do their work study with Endeavor? |
 |
| Kek Shoto funny respond toward Mt Lady interview looks perfectly suit as a dad joke there! Meanwhile Deku-kun? Aw shit Eri in santa costume mode, truly fluff and simply adorable. Tho, need to learn to make a better respond around, Eri! Also, Mineta received a punishment from Ashido, kekw xd. All in all, can't wait to see them doing the internship time again, especially since Shoto, Bakugo, Deku under the same roof!... |

| I thought this episode would be interesting with Mineta and Mt. Lady, but it was actually quite meh. |
| CHRISTMAS ERI MUST BE TREASURED AND PROTECTED AT ALL COSTS!!!! |
