 I've called this show predictable, but I didn't see Sion being this angry because he has a crush on Will. What a story... |
| Sion is crazy and MC doesn't even care. Writing 5/10. Animation 9/10. |
| “Do what feels right in your heart. You will be criticized either way.” (Eleanor Roosevelt) |
| Sion really needs to be ended. I don't care if there is some redemption arc or whatever but he is just jealous and angry. Him being forced to quit the school or having his arms cut off or something needs to happen. Imagine costing your team and your teammates only chance to win easily and being petty instead. Great VA, Cool character, still needs to die. |

I have really liked the discussion between the two rivals and GOD DAMN COLETTE IS HOT ASF
| @Zakatsuki_ you forgot to add smoking there. i'm sorry, i couldn't help myself. anyways, sion's reactions to colette looking like that had me cracking. who knew that boy is pure asf despite being tsundere "please look at me, laggard!" fixated on will. |

| I don't get why so many hate on this anime (based on reviews) lol, it's actually pretty hype, sure it's kinda generic, but this doesn't need to make it automatically bad |
Fight for All That's Beautiful in The World ! |
This episode was so epic! I love it <3 By the way, I really love Collete role and leadership <3 she's amazing! Although it may not seem like it, I think she has a crucial role  |

| Omg...So Shion's reason for hating Will is LITERALLY the same petty and immature reason as Draco's reason for hating Harry Potter when Harry rejected his handshake trying to be friends when they were in their first year. And he pulls this stunt in front of everybody watching in 4k on camera. Every time I think this show has some originality to set it apart from being a Harry Potter knockoff or generic fantasy trash, it proves me wrong. At least they kind of explained how Hulio was able to be in any location he wanted...with magic ice clones. Although if he had that power, he should have just placed one of his clones at the final goal. With that annoying fight with the fire boy out of the way that I fast-forwarded through at 2x speed for how boring it was, maybe it'll finally be worth watching the next episodes where hopefully ice boy gets his smug wiped off his face. |
| Why is this like a re-furbished myhero academia tournament/plot :D A guy with only punching power - check An ice and fire guy - check (although mixed) mic guy and dark-mellow Snape guy from previous episode - check Even hair color is similar & basically the same Greenish and dark - Midoriya (Will) Light brown - Ochako (Colette) Ice&Fire Todoroki and Bakugo have been mixed between characters though. Midoriya doesn't want to battle Bakugo - check This episode lacked Midoriya and Bakugo voice-actors to be perfect. lol |

| So Sion is being this elitist self righteous jerk thinking "I am better than you but is kind enough to take you in" and when he gets rejected, his ego gets shattered. He then feels the need to get reassurance about his superiority. Which obviously, when he gets saved instead by Will, it only tarnished his ego even more and not the reassurance he was seeking for. Despicable character despite I can see the series trying to shoehorn him as a friend in the future by making it look like he wanted to accept Will and stuff. Actually would had been better if it was just the traditional "I looked down on you but was proven wrong so I respect you instead." At least that would make him more bearable Also this episode was overall kinda bad with how much the fight got interrupted by the same flashback replaying like four times and all the unnecessary spectator commentary that offers little to nothing of value. At least put the chatter at the end and give us a continuous fight scene. Not this coupel second action and cut to randoms saying "wow! I got nothing good to say but I felt like speaking so yea!" Also let me see Colette fight Julius! I was honestly more interested in seeing her fight than Will vs Sion. |

| I was just joking in the beginning of the episode when I was thinking Sion just wanted to be like, "Notice me Senpai!" to Will, but I can't believe I was actually right lmao. This show is the true harem of the season. We already have at least 6 people obsessed with Will - Elfaria, Colette, Sion, Rosti, Iris, and Julius. The reason is still so stupid though; like, Sion really couldn't keep his pants in until the tournament was over? Really?? It'd be so stupid if the scouts are still willing to pick him up after all this. |

| TATAKAE!! Beautiful Sakuga fest in this episode. What a beautiful bromance we got right here lol |

Honestly considering all the comments how is the anime still a 7.8?? Silent majority?
| @CocoaGalaxy It's been falling, it was above 8. But in general viewers here like well animated action even if it has the most generic story. |

Boring AF.
Only reason I'm not dropping this abysmal anime is I'm 6 episodes in. Otherwise, it's not worth a second of my time.
And yep, it looks like Will will be the "eternal victim" for the foreseable future. ZERO interest in supporting this weak loser.

| @WienGirl Why keep going if you dont like it? |
| Waste of an episode, so disappointing. Sion = "Look at only me!" so he has a major crush on Will and has extreme jealousy ... not the time for this outburst. Collette was completely left out of this episode, frustrating, it would have been amazing to see her defeat Julius, but no, they refused to show us. And we don't even get to see Will kick Sion's butt, are you kidding me??!! Half of this episode was spent on totally irrelevant people that took away from what was actually going on, show us the main characters. Producer / Director / Editor / Animator can't any of you see that they waste so much time in these episodes on things that don't matter at all?? Then Collette off camera fights Sion, while some how Will barely makes it to the Arena to face "Julius", how predictable and boring, you blew it so much it hurts. Another failed anime. |

Note: I don’t lazily watch 3-5 episodes, biasedly compare to other anime, or unfairly judge by surface level similarities. With every anime I start, I watch the entire series, both Japanese Sub & English Dub, then judge each anime based on what they present, to give an honest and fair rating.  |

so Filvis got isekaid nto this anime or what :)
| @sakkyun Either they really are connected or the author got lazy and is just saving on character names and designs. |

| is this sion's coming out of the closet episode? |
 |
OK, THIS EPISODES ANIMATION WAS INSANE. SION USING A GUARDIAN WAS CRAZY! Hopefully, they fight again this season, but the next episode is gonna go crazy JULIUS VS WILL!!!!  |
 |
| Sion, you are just a big ol tsundere aren't you. Why are you looking at everyone but me, don't ignore me 😂 |
 |
| This show is so divorced from logic it's sometimes painful to watch. What do you mean "what's happening", everything around you is burned to cinders. You are being attacked you stupid idiot. The reason for the attack is even worse. He turned his back to me... what kind of retarded reason is that. So no one has the right to refuse help from Sion? Pure stupidity. And they make him comically evil, just like every one else, just so you don't get confused who to root for. Dear lord is character design retarded. It's either angel with blue eyes or dr. evil himself. No in between. EVERYONE must be either evil or angel. EVERYONE, teachers included, people on the streets. No one ever says anything. There's no police. There's no law. There's nothing. Just wild west. All the while "watchers" go... ah this kid is promising he can already kill with such good spells. No motherfuckers, he's evil, easily triggered and vengeful shithead. We get it, everyone is evil. Just let the society rot and leave this city. There's a better virgin for MC elsewhere. |
| Well, the fight between Sion and Will looked really cool and was promising, but the end was really underwhelming, Collete was just like "You 2 have to stop" and they stopped. It's not like she didn't say it earlier, but I guess this time around Sion was interested in something else. Talking about that, was Sion confessing to Will or what? I kind of understood his character story, but it's still kinda weird the way they phrased and showed it. Well, Will's entrance in the arena was iconic, I wonder if he really will be able to defeat Julius. Also, how was Julius able to leave clones of himself so close to the end? The field was just created, it's not like he put them there the day before or something, like, I didn't understand that. I don't know, the anime has good fight scenes and potential, but the writing isn't convincing me honestly. |
| Bad episode overall. Tired of BS "i always wanted to be your friend" lmao. The background story was even more trash.... This is the prime example of how not to write a Bakugo character. Colette saved the cringy scene thank god. Great animation tho. I did liked the backlash on Sion by the public. |

| I am hoping that Will will start to be less naive after this. It's truly the one thing holding this show back from being anything more than a pedestrian show with decent animation quality. |
 |
| The animation is good, and the plot and worldbuilding really feels like this could be great but this subplot with Sion is mid. So very mid. |
 |
| From one fight to another, Will can't be catching any breaks lol. |
 Never ending plan to watch list... |
