Exciting development that Tokoyami can fly! I've always thought he and Dark Shadow were so cool, but they were too limited. Now that he can fly using Dark Shadow, i think Tokoyami should be leveling up real fast this season.

It's really cool to see Class B's quirks, and I love to see that Tokoyami can fly now. Also, I think the mushroom quirk might be interesting...

It was nice to see Tokoyami get a power-up that lets him fly, although I wish that it looked cooler. I think these fights are taking too long to complete. I wouldn’t call them great to begin with and they don’t carry the same level of strategy as World Trigger’s battles to warrant how long they take.


I agree, I think the flying ability could look cooler, or the actual power itself could be cooler. For example, Dark Shadow wraps its arms around Tokoyami (which looks a bit lame), but as Dark Shadow is an actual shadow while Tokoyami is something like a shadow user, it would have been more "hardcore" if Dark Shadow could have merged with Tokoyami and that's how he could develop a flying ability!

Also, yes, I can already tell how this fighting arc is going to take way too long. Deku already being the 5TH battle is a bummer. Hopefully, another League of Villains invasion (while admittedly repetitive) will cut this training short LOL

Damn, Tokoyami was so badass this episode with his new move. As Deku said; it's such a simple yet effective technique and it really changes the way Tokoyami can participate in a fight from now on.

It's really pissing me off how everyone keeps hating on BNHA now... if you don't like it, stop watching it. I really don't understand what people want from this anime

Nah for real I was never expecting this episode to be this good. They are really improving Joint Training exponentially and that's mostly thanks to the awesome directing and animation.

Crazy to think that S4 was just a misstep, I still don't think JT is an a great arc but the anime is making way more enjoyable than fucking Overaul which is straight up hilarious.


Have to agree there, guess that second movie put a dent in Season 4's production as it's pretty surprising how well animated and engaging this season is so far despite the simple material. For me with S4 though it was less the animation (which was honestly pretty good for the most part save for some glaring examples) and more the editing/pacing, since it felt very stop and go. Like as soon as the action would get going, the pacing would grind to a halt for a 5 minute flashback. There's a way to integrate downtime and flashbacks without interrupting the flow of a story, but for whatever reason those in charge of last season didn't know how to do that too well.


So actually from what I've heard the movie is in fact barely responsible for S4's downgrade unlike we all initially thought. Basically the movies and the TV shows are made by two completly separate teams, which means that even if there was no movie, the animators working on it would've worked on an entirely different project.
The movie did steal SOME staff from the TV series (like S1-3 director and 1 or 2 animation directors), but its impact is actually really minimal.
And the positive twist about that is that if the Endeavor vs High End fight was as good as it was, it mostly was thanks to some animators present at Bones for working on the movie that gave a hand for S4's last episode, so it's actually a win in the end.

S4 mostly suffered from missmanagement of ressources and some really jarring directorial choices (like, you're assigning two random giants fighting to one of the most reknown animators of all time and absolutly no animation at all for Lemillion's fight ? wth) and while it did managed to give some wonderful episodes, most of the season was really forgettable.

This went amazing! This time Tokoyami. He was way cooler than before. And also Kuroiro, as creepy as amazing. This was like Kirishima and Tetsutetsu. But I still think the real fight hasn't began yet. It looks like Itsuka and Momo are perfect match. The fight is going to be enjoyable.

Still I am having a feeling that Katsuki will do something amazing and also very funny. Though I am looking forward to Mr. Perfect here, Iida.

Great episode, we get to see Tokoyami get some time to shine. Definitely wasn't expecting them to go as hard on the animation as they did. Shorter recap than the previous episodes also helped a bit, more time to the actual episode.

takoyami could've done that fly thing ages ago if he actually think and tried. hawks didnt even need to tell him, anyone could've gone "hey can you fly?" and if he actually thought abt it maybe he could. also does mushroom girl only grow mushrooms?? bc if the mushroom doesn't do anything thats kinda wack ngl not rly impressed by this episode, they're gonna keep at this for half of the season? i guess its nice to get to know their powers but eh im just not to interested in it ig

Can someone please tell me why on earth Kuroiro's BLACK and VANTABLACK were transformed into DARK and VANTADARK??? (Latter doesn't even make sense.) Pointless changes are pointless.


Nope, not just you.


The word Vantablack is trademarked by the company that created it, so they changed it for legal reasons.

Class 1-A has a surprisingly well balanced team. All of them have quirks that can compliment each other in a raid pursuit and capture mission. Invisibility, two light types, one dark type, two ranged fighters, a complete power house who can fly, and someone who can create anything.

Nice to see everyone from the first match reflecting on their mistakes. Especially Shinso is very critical about himself, but damn it took Aizawa 6 years to master the binding cloth? That's crazy.

I liked the fact that we got a little bit more focus on Tokoyami and his internship with Hawks. And ngl Dark Fallen Angel is pretty sick. This puts Tokoyami on a complete different level of possibilities for the future.

Also interesting to see more of the class 1-B quirks in generel. Kuroiro was definitely very annoying in this episode. But what's up with these mushrooms? Can't wait to find out next week.

Chuuni vs. Chuuni battle this week. Not gonna lie tho, Tokoyami's "new technique" didn't look all that impressive to me. Did he seriously need Hawks's help to figure out he could use Dark Shadow to fly?

Also, please tell me that mushroom girl can create hallucinogenic ones as well.

Wow you mean Tokoyami never thought how to fly with Dark Shadow before?
You literally have a Bird Head.
Lmao
I'm sorry, it just silly to me, it needed Hawks to told him about that.

Okay looks like we gonna have 2 Episodes per match, so it means this training arc will end in Episode 12 (First Cour).

This arc will probably take the whole first cour, but the second cour will have the villain arc and endeavor agency arc. This season is literally the set up to what is going to happen next season

Probably yes, they're adapting 2 chapters per episode, last episode stopped at chapter 199 and this arc end in chapter 217. So, we'll likely have this arc until episode 12-13.

And just for curiosity, the manga is now at chapter 310.

A little late to the party but here we go:

Art was crisp and consistent, nice.
Soundtrack was good.
Voice acting was good.
Animation was also pretty great. We had some traditional 2D sakuga but also a lot more CG sakuga. There's a lot of anime who put CG scenes and they look bad. But this was actually pretty good, the 2D characters and the CG backgrounds blended well together, and weren't too distracting. It's no UFOTable, but it's amazing nonetheless. Idk what's up with the animators, but they were very ambitious these past 2 episodes.

Yeah, this episode was pretty great too. Thank you Bones.

I kind of disagree, Ufotable's CGI is pretty decent, it's not like Studio Orange CGI, but it's good enough to blend in.
