| What's great about this episode is we really got to see lots of amazing moments for Suneater (1v3). Also our first glimpse that Overhaul's gang aren't just pawns (or don't feel like pawns). They have their own reasons to fight & support their leader and the cause. This is why I love the villain focused arcs |
 |
| Nice episode focusing on Tamaki, but I'm really looking forward to next week's episode to see Kirishima get more time to shine. |
| People on MAL refuse to actually enjoy watching anime. Your taste in anime isn't a personality trait. Take me back to the days before MAL became infested with Twitter's favorite buzzwords. |
| This episode was very good! I didn't know Amajiki was that strong. It just showed he's a lot stronger than he looks which is amazing! The villain eating Suneater's quirk was very creepy it was insane! The preview for next episode makes me very worried about Kirishima... |

| Great episode! Some flashbacks about Mirio and Tamaki, they wer epretty interesting! Tamaki decided to handle that trie, it was an intense figth but Tamaki managed to defeat them all, didn't expect him to eat minerals and use the same power as him, Tamaki have quite an awesome quirck, and he was also badass! Seems next episode will be about Kirishima, looking forward to it! |
 |
| So they became villains because they were used and thrown away, so they respond positively to Overhaul who wants to use and throw them away. Fucking big brain. At least they acknowledge they're trash. Suneater's cool though, I love tentacles. |
| Sieg Zeon! |
| Good episode, even if the format seems a bit artificial (some generic character development and just enough time to defeat the bad guys, life is really convenient...). Regardless of the manga pacing, as an anime only viewer, I also found the pacing a bit slow, but much better than the previous two episodes. I also liked the continued social criticism of people rejected or exploited by society because of their kosei. And we learn that Sun Eater is an anthropophagite, since the crystals are made of human cells, yuk. Next one is quite promising with Kirishima! |
Nobody5464 said: Nighteye didn’t use his power and can still use it so I don’t get that complaint. And Mirio can’t fly and is not immune to gravity, he also can’t see if he’s using his quirk in his face. How exactly is he supposed to find mimic who can be anywhere in the walls or ceiling? The whole point of moving the walls was to loose track of the other guy and let Overhaul escape, if they defeat that guy they could still follow the plan. That´s what I refer to as ¨Still use the precognition¨ Mirio explained that when he deactivate his quirk, he gets pulled up from the direction he came up, that´s how he literally warped to the ground multiple times to attack the kids from 1-A. He have also trained his senses. I am pretty sure that the movement of the buildings have an epicenter, so Mirio could go for that or simply warp to different directions. I am trying to avoid the fact that the dude that went to move the walls could also strangle or just splat the heroes because that is way too violent for a regular shonen and of course they are not all going to die. |
| Good episode, but the animation went to shit several times. Aizawa's quirk is seeming real inconsistent, and apparently this has been an issue for a while. When it was first introduced it seemed like he could only activate it on one person, and required constant eye contact for it to function, but this episode, the wiki and everyone's understand of it all seems contradictory. This is either a retcon or a real shit job of explaining things by the author or maybe a bit of both. |

| You cant eat your friends? Why didnt someone tell me this sooner?! Anyway, I feared this would be one of these filler like "lets throw exactly one episode on a side character and call it a day, as long as we dont progress the main team" episodes which ruin pacing, but it was good enough and this was build up before. As long as this is over now it was decent. |

deg said: pacing is slow again but good enough episode its hard to be a perfectionist like Suneater since its like self-harming in a way when you always look to blame yourself for everything but he can overcome it sometimes  So weird, you say the season is slow some others say season is rushed. i say the season is moderate given the chapter adaptation count of 2/3 per ep. This episode was fast paced tho. |
| This episode was so good I love Tamaki I'm so glad he beat them I'm suuper excited to cry next episode though, we're finally getting Kirishima's backstory. I can't wait! |
MonkeyDJasper said: VitorLeiteAncap said: relax there buddyThe pacing is not a problem, it is actually perfect, this season is filled with characters development and strategy, things that are Hunter x Hunter(2011) level! Not as detailed as hxh but i do love the more emphasis on planning this season. I was re-watching and reading hxh. It is not as great as i remember. Still better than FMAB, which i found a 7/10. Old_School_Akira said: MoonStar9 said: Good animation makes for good fights... That's mostly what people watch battle Shonen for mate. The way the fights are written is what people watch battle shonen for as well. And Hero Academia’s fight are mostly end in one punch or hit. So if the writing in the manga is bad, sakuga won’t make it better. You are right about the sakuga not making stories better like Mob psycho s2, i didn't love that season. I will say you are being unfair when describing MHA fights. You stripped it down to bare bones to belittle it. When what you said can be true for all anime/manga fights even hxh fights (eg, Gon's team won the dodgeball match by dodging and hitting the ball). It is like how sport athletes belittle video-gamers or vice versa. There is more to it. A majority of MHA's fights are strategic, not saying asspulls don't exist in the series but people forget the tactical fights usually because anitubers crap on the series using the exact statement you made. i can give multiple examples proving MHA's strategic fights if you like.

| Though it bothered me a bit the fact of seeing Tamaki talking instead of knocking those villains out, it was still a decent episode. Now, I'm totally excited to see my boy Red Riot in scene (again) next week! |
deg said: @amperevenon its been ages since i have read this part of the manga but i do not remember having pacing problems in the manga though maybe the anime is just lacking enough impact for me right now The pacing problems for manga only exist for those that read it as it came out instead of binge. The release was irregular, at times coming out every two/three weeks, going on a month hiatus a think twice. The mangaka felt ill during this time too. Another thing is that if this was hxh this pacing would get no complaint since hxh is much slower than mha. MHA is usually fast so when it slows down it is not what people sign up for. Same goes for series like Gurren Lagann, one expects a certain pace from it. The issue with this season tho is the animation and build up. Sun-eater should have been given more screen time before this. I still related to him since i am a perfectionist whose hard on myself for not being perfect. As for animation this series was gone for 1 year and possibly worked on for a couple months longer but i see some still image underwhelming instances like Kiri and deku smashing the wall. looked good in manga not anime. The room being distorted was stunning tho but I should be seeing endless sakuga every ep like kiri vs blade dude or this episode's fight with sun-eater. |
deg said: @amperevenon i read the manga of My Hero Academia weekly though and the impact i was talking about is the enjoyment one or emotional one the animation and direction is fine for me Well, enjoyment is subjective. The direction is great in terms of improving the script, like putting the mina ashido flash back earlier in the arc in anime to revisit later which felt like it came out of nowhere in the manga. But in terms of assigning animators the directer is misusing them. He made nakamura animate 5 secs of ep 5 (giants fight) opening scene. It looked cool but that guy should be saved for bigger, longer fights. I also don't like the team being split up for the movie. The anime and movie will not look the best it can. |

The anime and movie will not look the best it can. lol ye i atleast agree that Nakamura was wasted on a not important scene and ye just for the OP visuals production quality alone this season seems underwhelming compared to previous seasons production quality but overall to me its still fine and i got no major complains so far on the production values factor Yeah, i hope it gets better production wise, i think this arc will end at ep 15. Also be careful what you say around me about MHA. i am a mha d-rider. One that will call it out on bs and defend it using objective evaluation when it deserves it. However, not above making fun of you while defending like how you gave Black Crap Shooter a 8 and 9 i bet you loved its "PhIlOsOpHy". I digress, goodbye. |
| This episode managed to do an entire fight in one episode. That's pretty good pacing. Anything more & it would be rushed. Also the animation was pretty good at places. Suneater's chimera attack was rather well-animated. |
| I used to be a watchmaker. |
| This episode was nice we got to see our lil shy guy's back story and more of his powers and how they can be used I'd give it a 8.5/10 |

And the season doesn’t look any different from the previous seasons. |
| HACKs! 🤢🤮 |
| Tamaki Amajiki is the MVP of this episode! 5/5. |
 |
| Tamaki ate crystals xD rip his teeth |
 |
| What a great episode. Loved it. |

His power works on everyone he is looking when activates and while activated he doenst need to focus on that people anymore, they will lose their power until Aizawa deactivates his quirk. Thank you captain, but it's almost like I said that people have had different interpretations of his quirk due to the author's writing lacking clarity and this has been a long-running issue with the manga readers. I also specifically said the Wiki contradicts that and the manga seemingly contradicts itself and those interpretations, or at least lends itself to that issue, even though the author may believe or have intended the manga to be taken in a way that is actually consistent. |

| The pacing in this anime is pretty slow but I kinda enjoyed seeing my favourite characters backstory. Ppl now think that Tamaki is gay just because he admires Mario...? Not sure if they know what friendship is but.. alright you do you ig? |
