| THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE. ---------------------------------------- My Hero Academia is back and we got Deku, Bakugo, and Todoroki with their training session with Endeavor. Looks like Bakugo made his point about being a top hero pretty clear. Also, got more storytellinga about Todoroki narrating about his past again, in particular his mom. Kind of a meh episode imo. |
 |
| That ending reminded me of the old hard work vs talent argument. Really goes to show that even if endeavour used to be this big headed pompous idiot he did put in a whole lot of effort to close the gap between him and all might, even though that gap was massive thanks to all might having two separate quirks and one for all being kinda broken. Catching up to someone in terms of talent is basically impossible, but understanding how you can take advantage of other aspects such as information processing does help and I feel like that's a lovely message, but maybe I'm reading into this a bit too deep xD! Hawks' triple agent business is fairly risky, thought he'd be caught out when the book was mentioned but surprisingly they convinced themselves that hawks was just spreading the message across impressionable youngsters. His feathers seem to be op at reconnaissance, hearing the sound vibrations from just one single feather seems brilliant. Endeavour realising the true meaning of what hawks was saying was interesting, I always find it kinda stupid how children are supposed to be stronger than the adult heroes who have years under their belts but I digress, it seems like the hero association has prepared for the worst to come anyways. I now get why hawks interrupted, to make sure the kids abilities are kept under wraps, smart move honestly. Deku is wayyyyy too analytical xD, the bit where he just went on and on and on about his shortcomings was jokes, even considering that endeavour actually listened to his ramblings. Bakugo's improvements are fair enough, he hasn't really been met with a roadblock - apart from his personality- but shoto surprised me with what he said goddamn. The end bit where endeavour gave each of them a task to follow was quite nice, as he's really taken it upon himself to improve the kids to protect the world in his wake, interesting stuff. Still more build up but this is actually some great foreshadowing unlike last arc so I'm quite enjoying the less action more mystery approach this shows taken, shows adaptability in a relatively overdone genre of tournament arc on tournament arc on fight scene with a new op boss business! |

| Looks like the Liberation Army is going to attack in four months and Endeavor has finally caught the signal by Hawke. But, before that, Endeavor decided that he's going to train all three boys. Even, Todoroki wants to get stronger after getting over the unnecessary hatred towards Endeavor. It was an alright episode. Nothing much happened. Just them training with Endeavor and learning from his experience. |
 |
| The League of Villains' uprising that's hidden under Destro's Meta Liberation Army with Hawks at the forefront, he's determined not to let any evidence go loose of their tracks that's hidden from him. And Endeavour having figured out Hawk's signal, there's no time to waste other than U.A.'s student work internships being a distraction front for MVA's arc arrival. Izuku's knnowledge knows no bounds, but getting drowned by all that information is totally unnecessary: it's micro-management of the new-found formation of One For All's Vestige powers. Bakugo is the same he's ever been, but between father and son Todoroki, the family restraint is one, and the hero acclaim is another matter. But no matter, these 3 are trained to be heroes under Endeavour's jurisdiction, and no holding back from gaining experience in split-second flashes. If anything, it's quick-fire learning lessons with very little time to spare of parallel processing. The only way is UP, not DOWN for these Todoroki, Bakugo and Izuku...moving forward ONE BY ONE. |
 |
| Hmm, so there are more heroes working with the villains... 4 months for them to train, I don't know if they'll skip it just on the day of the events or whatever, but I don't want to see 4 months of training :P |
| This was a build up episode, it looks like that hawks make his job good but the Liberation Army is planning a big thing in 4 months. Deku is still working with his black whip. Shoto make sure that he not forgive endeavor what he to his mom but he want train his flame technique. Bakugo want to know how to pass number 1.Nothing much happened in this episode. |
P O S I T I V E V I B E Sシ  |
| Good training time for Deku, Bakugo and Todoroki with Endeavor, they all have their own goals and motives, that's interesting. |
 |
| Endeavor is the best teacher. Even with Midoriya rambling a mile a minute, Endeavor understood everything and applyed his knowledge. His speech at the end of the episode was good, too. For Midoriya to improve he needs someone like Endeavor around because while All Might gifted him a quirk and trained him, All Might isn't an amazing 'teacher'. |
| The difference in quality between Endeavour agency arc and Joint Training arc is staggering. Suddenly I feel like MHA improved from its downfall. Long way to go for Deku, Bakugo and Todoroki. Endeavour's teaching is pretty cool. Gotta love Hawks for overshadowing the trio to make use of them as a trump card. Not interested in the next episode tbh. |
| hey, todoroki showing off his inner eren yeagar oh btw, why is everytime deku's monologue he always will mention that before he was quirkless or something that got to do with all might? so strange and cringe and weird cant he talked something else other than need to be strong or i love all might  |

| dayumm...I didn't noticed XD |
| Good episode. Hawks really has a tough job on his shoulders wow and Endeavour is quite OP |
 |
| What a good episode, maybe not *that* good, but compared to the episodes we’ve had so far this was it. However I don’t know how to feel about next weeks ep, another ship mission with Asui?? I feel like I’ve seen it like 2 times already lol. Hoped that after today’s episode things would start to go somewhere. |
         7x  |
| Decent episode with us getting to see more of Endeavor training Deku, Bakugo, and Shoto. But man next week's episode....do we really need a filler right now. Next week will be wasted, then I'm assuming Endeavor Agency will finish in episode 17, which leaves the last 8 episodes for MVA. Hope it doesn't get rushed. |
| People on MAL refuse to actually enjoy watching anime. Your taste in anime isn't a personality trait. |
| Great episode! I really enjoyed seeing them learn from Endeavor. Endeavor be 10x more better of a teacher than All Might is lmao. The episode was definitely directed super well, yeah sure there's a lot of flashbacks, but they help solidify the dialogue. Looks like next episode will be anime original, looking forward to the Ryukyu agency's work study. As much as we all want MVA already, complaining is pointless since I am sure they already completed and planned out the season, so just save ya'll judgement after the season is over. Sure they've made some questionable decisions, but they have never really rushed an arc, so I am not really worried. |
 |
| oh no, based on the next ep preview, they're dragging this again...i wonder when would the cluster boom will happen? oh nice best girl Toga Himiko has few lines this episode! 5/5. |
 |
| Lol 6 hours since discussion started and still on the 1st page. Interest in this season is dead. At this point I don't think even MLA can save it. |
 |
| This episode was pretty good. Parallel processing was explained in a nice way along with an example. That aside looking forward to more. As for Hawks. Oh dear. What he is doing is really risky as many will say. As many will also say one wrong move, and it is over. Though expecting the worse to come, and we will need more manpower. Though sadly it is the kids who is going to be that. Hope every hero does a good job teaching/training those who are with them because they got only 4 months. |
| Damn, this season is dragging too much. 15 episodes in and nothing of importance happened. The only wow thing was the discovery that Deku will have multiple Quirks. Still, Deku's new Quirk got shelved, probably for the rest of this season. Plus the next episode seems to be a damn filler. I'm bored.... |
 |
| It looks like there are going to be a few training episodes for the looming threat. Now, we also know the main threat of this season. |
| Signature removed. Please follow the signature rules, as defined in the Site & Forum Guidelines. |
Boi... assets on Boku no Hero are skyrocketing  |
| So many flashbacks or recalls the past few episodes.. |
 |
| I really don't understand why they put that scene on the beginning of the episode. Adapting Endeavor's agency arc before the next arc was a wise decision but that scene just don't fit well. And a filler next week, seriously...? Meta Liberation Army Arc is short but at this point I'm afraid if it will do justice to the manga. |
| Imagine how boring this world would be without Japan - a comment at youtube |
How is her right arm outside of the cloak? |
|
| This was a pretty good episode, especially compared to almost ever other episode this season. It was fun to watch and funny too. Man with a Mission OP, it's been quite a while since I heard an OP done by then. I'm liking the ED more though. |
 |
Things I didn't notice because I'm too much of a perv |
| A slower, but important episode setting up how the trio will grow and their deadline. Endeavor is shining more than I thought he would be in this prominent role. Looking forward to the next episode. |
| Hawks continues with his undercover work with the Meta Liberation Army which includes members of the League of Villains. He's been tasked with spreading the Meta Liberation ideology around to get as many people to join the Meta Liberation Army. I wonder how many of these so called heroes are secretly working with the Meta Liberation Army? Meanwhile, Endeavor has taken Bakugo, Shoto, and Deku under his wing to train the next generation's Big Three heroes. He gives them a couple of things to work on, but they have a long way to go before they can become pro heroes. |
 |
| I'm so torn. I enjoyed the hell outta this episode, it might've actually been the best directed one this whole season lol, every scene worked immensly. But I'm now 100% convinced that the order they chose to adapt sucks, I won't get into detail as to why to avoid spoilers (because clearly the anime doesn't lmaoooo), but this is just hurting both this arc and the next one. |
| After a weeks break, MHA is back with episode 15. This was a relatively uneventful episode, but it was enjoyable to see Deku speak, and Endeavor actually catch what he was saying. Exciting things are coming with Hawks, and I'm very interested to see more of Tokoyami's progression. It looks like he's been progressing a lot. |
