This arc can't get any more boring tbh. Sakuga on these battles is honestly a waste of budget. Save that shit for MVA

Mod Edit: Removed baiting.

Hey the fighting this episode was actually pretty cool. Good animation as well. Horn girl with her horrible English is a bit of a meme but her quirk at least proved useful for transportation.

We got a badass episode this week! Concluding the third match here with a visual feast for the eyes! After how last episode ended it looked like the Class A team had their backs against the wall about to lose. But they snatched a stalemate from the jaws of defeat with Iida breaking out his new speed and Todoroki relaying more on his fire. We've seen a lot of focus on Shoto trying to overcome the past hes got with his father especially when it comes to using his fire, with it coming back up here. Todoroki has a crazy amount of firepower with his flames he just has to use it. Obviously one of the big themes of this story as a whole is going beyond your limits, that comes into play here with Todoroki having to push his flames further than he ever has before. Using his flames to turn Tetsutetsu into a smoldering piece of metal. Whom was also going beyond his limits in this match. Mudman using his quirk really well making himself sink down so Iida cannot get him. I loved the animation this episode! It looked incredible in all aspects of the match. Iida speeding around, Todoroki flames, Tetsutetsu barrage, everything looked awesome. Pony ultimately deciding to end it with a draw since she couldn't make it back to the prison in time. A crazy end to our third showcase. Next up a match I've been waiting for, Bakugo enters the arena!!

That Nakamura cut was the second thing I could say was good about this season so far, first was the opening song. Not his best, but still a damn solid one to say the least.

Pretty good episode, probably the best of the season so far.

The cuts for Iida's entries were awesome and that kick to Honenuki's face was insane. Todoroki's fire is great as always, he definitely gets the best animation sequences.

I just realized that Pony is voiced by Aoi Yuuki, I knew there was something awfully familiar about her overly foreign styled accent. It was Aoi Yuuki. I probably didn't notice in any previous season cause she barely has any screentime. xD

Yo, that was an awesome episode, they fucking popped off! Definitely the best episode so far of the season, and did you see that fucking shit, they really started off the episode like that, with Iida zooming all over the place with those magnificent cubes, like bruh. Match 3 was my favorite match in this arc and the anime fucking went plus ultra. And I honestly really liked that it ended in a draw.

Pony fucking launching herself with Ojiro straight to prison was so hardcore. And then Iida straight murdered Juzo, they really gave Iida the love this episode man, you love to see it. Iida definitely developed compared to how he was in the Stain arc. Todoroki too with the callback to the iconic sports festival match and we even got the Todoroki theme along with it. Tetsutetsu though was also hardcore, this match was just so great, everyone was awesome, even Kaibara and Ojiro even though they got eliminated early. Poor Ojiro being called ordinary by everyone lmao. Really looking forward to the next episode, it's Bakugo time and Setsuna as well.

These fights suck. IIda can run through mud? Todoroki can take punches from a guy made of steel? Horn girl couldn't drop her teammates off on top of a building and use her horns remote controlled to put Todoroki in jail? Tail guy is still useless.

Juzo soften the ground so that Iida can fall and then hardened it to trap him, Juzo thought that Iida's limit was only for 10 secs but the new move had a limit for 10 minutes and he broke through the ice with his leg amd glided through the solid ice.

When Todoroki took the punch he felt weak and was about to collapse.

If Pony would have landed the unconscious Juxo and Tetsu then Shoji would have nabbed those two, you have seen that Shoji destroyed those horns and he can recreate his arms many a time, Pony stood still coz all four of her horns were in use and she was carrying herself and other three boys so it would have been difficult to move and Shoji has a limit of how far can he recreate his limbs so he wasn't able to reach her.

Tail guy has not improved, yes.

This is one of the best episodes I seen so far. Ida made some significant improvements in this match, but he needs to stop being so hard on himself. Todoroki finally realize that his heat is his greatest strength and let those flames loose. I almost screamed "Plus Ultra" because Todoroki has the potential to surpass his father he just needs to use his flames more often and stop holding back and relying on his ice. Both Class A and Class B showed out in this match.

Not just that. It appears that, although they've had classes in being a hero for how long now, they haven't had a basic fighting tactics lesson.

I mean come on. Your power is to generate copious amounts of fire and ice at short and medium range and you fight an enemy who can turn to steel and punch real hard. Solely from this, that means the battle is one of distance. Todoroki's primary goal should be to keep in Tetsu medium range while taking him down. Tetsu's primary goal is to get within striking distance.

Yet Todoroki did not once try to keep a good distance, even though he can blast himself up and back with ice. Which he can also do with Tetsu.

Not to mention it's just stupid to fight someone so resilient first. Horn girl wouldn't stand a chance against either Iida or Todoroki. Just let Ojiro keep Tetsu busy.

Iida's power up bit was pretty cool and loved Juzo, B class seems to be so much better than A, they have better tactics, better teamwork and have evolved their quirks so much more, granted they can actually go to classes unlike A.

Great episode!! Finally things are starting to move. All these last 3 teams have at least 1 character I like.

Iida finally got some focus. I started to not like him but this episode was great. Todoroki also being 10/10 but I just can't like tetsutetsu. He just feels like a brainless character with no development. I prefer Kirishima to Tetsutetsu and it's not even close. Also I found someone that I dislike more than I do with Ochako. That horn girl was annoying. But again, great episode AND NOW BAKUGOU!!! I don't love him or something but I can't wait to see him in action!!

This episode was very good with that animation and the music. Story was good until author forced it to make 1-A lose.

Firstly, Todoroki got knocked out with a random pipe. I know it is possible in real life but up to that point nothing was that much of realistic, then why now? For example Todoroki burned the whole place down for a long time with a very high heat and we barely saw effects of it on the place. Those metal area should have melted after he used more heat like his father, IF it was that kind of a realistic logic. Proof is the Tetsutetsu itself, because in this episode they said he almost melted even though he surpassed the limits of iron.

Another problem was the big metal that fell on Iida. We saw how fast he is now, so he could've dodged it easily by going left or right and keep running.

I wish author stop forcing story to something unnatural.

This is probably the best episode of season 5 so far. It felt like fast paced action that only lasted for 5 minutes, despite the match being 20 minutes and the episode being 25. This is what I hoped that all the matches of this arc would be. So far, the closest animation we've got to this epispde's level was that one scene in one of the first episodes where Kaminari rushed towards Beast Man.

I'm also very surprised by how much was given to this episode compared to the others. They pulled out a page from Spiderverse, which was something that I really enjoyed. Great episode overall, definitely a high 9.5 of maybe a 10 out of 10, compared to the other episodes. I do hope that season 5 continues to be like this, and possibly overtake the hype of season 2, which I believe was the epitome of BNHA.

This isn't a manga discussion post, but I guess I can say that yes, there is something coming out of this arc. Give it one or two episodes, and hopefully it won't feel like a filler anymore.

Quite a match. Honenoki and Iida just took things to another level. Obviously you can expect that much from a responsible class rep. Shouto was amazing there but for sure this isn't his best at all. I think he and Tetsutetsu fought similarly, without any plan. That is why they both ended same. Shouji and Ojiro were in disadvantage. Horn girl was pretty tough for them. Drill man taking down Ojiro was awesome. I think Ojiro needs development. However the whole fight was between Iida and Honenoki. Without them the fight was just dumb.

Next is Katsuki. He sure has changed. His smile describes a lot of things. There is a dangerous plan he has. And also he is the best fighter in the whole class. This is going to be amazing. Hope Katsuki can show us something. Sero is also with them. This guy is totally awesome. He can back-up the whole team. Jiro and Sato are no less. Still, Class B has some advantage. This is sure exciting. Can't wait for the next episode.

The animation this episode was insane, especially the combat scenes between Todoroki & Tetsutetsu. Their fight highlighted that Todoroki needs to find a way to compete with close-range combat cause his quirk just doesn't adapt well to that at all! Tetsutetsu was a fucking champ with the way he endured all that heat and really rushed Todoroki to his limits.

I can't wait for next week's ep.... Bakugou's turn at taking on Class B! Wooo!

I think this episode was handled a lot better than the previous eps so far this season; the flashbacks felt more natural and like they actually served a purpose, the animation was 10 x better and the cinematography just made things a lot more interesting and exciting. BUT, I understand that not every episode can be like this (y'know, budget, not every ep can be god tier, etc).

Amazing episode, best match so far, it ended up as a draw but I feel like Class B won this one, Iida did really good and Todoroki has finally noticed that he can't always rely on the ice, Shoji couldn't help much with his quirk nor Ojiro, they need to improve a lot. Also, the animation was good on this episode.

Tetsutetsu vs Todoroki was incredible, unfortunately we couldn't see the entire fight because of that Juzo guy.


I'm liking this arc, hyped for the next match, let's see how much stronger Bakugou is.

Hey idiot they have been training with using battle tactics that is literally what All might said on top of that madman used softened the ice and then pony used her horns to send Tetsutetsu to Todoroki and he kept at a close distance then pony went after Shoji and Drill guy went after Ojiro which left lida to mudman then it went from their class 1-b had a plan their not idiots they created the situation so no class 1-a couldn’t do that

First off. Interpunction. It exists for a reason.

Second, starting with calling someone an idiot does not invite constructive discussion. Is your best attempt at communication really name-calling?

Third, you just described the fight to me. I saw the episodes as well, no need to repeat it. To quote you: "class 1-b had a plan their[sic] not idiots they created the situation so no class 1-a couldn’t do that"
So class 1-b has a strategy, but class 1-a didn't? Not very smart then?
Moreover, I was talking battle tactics, not battle strategy. They got themselves caught in their opponents' strategy, that does not mean you forgo tactics.

To repeat myself, Todoroki's primary goal in a fight with Tetsu should be to remain at a distance at all times. Every step that Tetsu takes forward should be two steps Todoroki takes back. He had plenty of time to ice-boost himself out of there. If class 1-b has the time to horn-boost their allies into favorable positions, Todoroki could simply do the same. Class 1-a has the fastest guy on their team, yet barely made use of him (also, no way that tower hit him. He was already running away, and toppling is quite slow compared to just falling).

Not doing any of this just shows Todoroki and his entire team has no idea how fighting works and has no idea how fighting with their powers work. Their entire approach was storming what's in front of them like a bull.

This season so far is mega disappointing. It might just be me, considering I haven’t had to wait for an episode before, but after waiting for a FREAKING INTRODUCTION EPISODE for episode 1 is fraking infuriating. Ntm the fights this season are kinda boring. Not the best at all. I know what happens in the manga after these fights, and that’s the only reason I’m still even watching. I mean, they could probably squeeze these into one episode, but no. 2 weeks gone by.
