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.


How can the earlier episodes be boring if they had constant fights and character development

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


This wasn't a tournament. That's not how tournaments work.

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.

So, this arc is over ?
this arc's only last three episode were good
let's see why manga readers are hyped about the next arc
I thought AOT was overrated , but S4 changed my mind. It's epic.

Highly recommend it

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.

He ain't bad. He cares for his friends too. And he's the supporting character that's gonna outshine the MC.

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.

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.


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!

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


I agree I thought Uraraka was great in this short Arc. Sure she doesn’t have brute strength kind of power but I feel like she has grown a lot in her own ways! She also had a move without thinking moment which we can all appreciate (made me think back to Deku in season one right before he was acknowledged by All Might). Excited to see where it goes now as someone who hasn’t read the manga yet!

This is what I thought as well for the parallel with Deku, she sure has grown a lot in a psychological way, especially with her protecting goal, and she did perfectly well, and of course she still has the cute blushing moments xD

I had quite the thrill watching this episode.

Now that the Joint Training Arc is over, I'm super excited for the next arc in this series. Izuku using blackwhip like that was very nice to see animated, and it definitely looks better than how it looked in the manga. Shinso's transfer to t he hero course is definitely going to be interestig.

The 5th battle was so freakin' awesome. If One For All hadn't gone out of control, Deku's team probably could've ended their battle with an impressively quick victory just like Bakugou tbh cause they beat Class B real quick! I was blown away by how well Deku fought without really relying on OFA that much.

The thing that stunned me most this ep though was how far Uraraka has come; she took down Monoma so fast on her own and then showed the trust in her teammate to be able to see their plans to the end, assisting Mina & Mineta perfectly.

Still an underwhelming fight that had a couple good moments. Too much emphasis was placed on Midoriya and Shinso that the outcome of the entire match didn’t seem to matter. This whole arc was mediocre, but I’m glad we are getting to the “best arc” now.

You know, Shinso is right when he says that people like Midoryia will continue to move "forward" and that no one else can catch up to him because this dude gets ridiculous power-ups. In one scene, Deku couldn't control his whiplash and in the very next scene, he got it down without an issue.

Talk about conveniences.

it was actually worse in the manga since the chapters were only a shortened like twelve or thirteen pages. the anime has elevated this arc a lot with the great direction and fight choreography. people talk all the time about how mha doesnt focus enough on its minor characters well here you go. a whole arc about minor characters kicking a$$ and getting moments of shine

Pretty much sums up my feelings lol, I actually liked the arc, but it wasn’t because of the constant praise and development for Class A, but it was because of Class B and Shinso’s presence and what they did in this arc, I found them much more interesting and now that the arc is over I only want to see them more lol. I really hope these characters aren’t forgotten for 2 seasons like you’re saying, I hope to see them sprinkled in here and there.

But yeah, overall I enjoyed this arc, I liked it more than the first arc of Season 4, but I really wish we could have gotten another win for Class B, that would have made me like it a lot more, and maybe less Class A focus, but that’s asking way too much Ik lol.
