| Endeavour is a fantastic mentor; the way he listened to what each of the boys wanted from this internship, plus the easy-to-understand examples he used to explain the methods he applies to hero work and driving home the realities of being a hero in the real world, not in a classroom environment, were all signs of a great teacher. The Commission is making the same mistake they made before; they're putting all the pressure and strain on a single hero. Before it was All Might and now it's Hawks, who is carrying a massive burden that a veteran hero would strain under and he's only 22 years old! Also, their backup plan is to use a bunch of kids if all else fails? Madness. |

| It's been a while since we've seen so many members of the League of the Villians. As we know, they'll destroy everything in 4 monhts. Shit will go down then. Can't wait for *that* arc.. Pretty sad that they need to use kids as their back up plans but oh well.. a lot of heroes are working for the liberation xD Endavour listening to Deku's rant was probably the funniest part of the episode. It was funny but also pretty amazing that he understood everything that Deku said. He's the n1 hero afterall. Well this arc is pretty fun, everyone's evolving and it'll be handy later on. They have to power up in order to defeat the MVA. Good ep. |

| Pretty good episode of Endeavor teaching the boys how to be a hero, and about life in general, I really liked the comparison to learning to drive, the way we learn is very interesting lol. I also liked the buildup to whatever the Meta Liberation Army is planning, but I’m not surprised to see the League of Villains once again, although I’m glad there are some new villains mixed in to make it more interesting. Seeing what the side characters were up to in slideshow format was also great, I’m glad to see Yui again even if it’s only for one shot lol. Lastly, Burnin got some good bits in this episode, I require more Burnin! |

| I heard they're currently working with a new key-animator or something (correct me if I'm wrong) that's why the quality suddenly improved so much. This episode is interesting! Idc for those who said it's boring. this is a much needed break after that joint training arc. also more screentime for our trio. well, I don't like Enji the father but I have respect for Endeavor the hero. He actually listened to deku's rambling and provided conclusion (todoroki & bakugou deadpanned in the background lol). I thought he was just a himbo but he figured hawks hidden message. Also every bakugou and todoroki's interaction is always so funny, they have compatible quirks as well, the explosion and the fire side. I love these two. |
Maxxzs said: TheGeekSqaude said: they are already spoiling mva, so it would never get true justice I don’t really think it’s to the extent everybody is making it out to be. It was clear the League of Villains is still a thing well into the future, with future manga volume covers themselves having Shigaraki on it as well as other characters. I feel as though knowing that the League of Villains is with the Liberation army provides a transition to MVA, almost like a heist story starting with the protagonists sitting on a huge haul of loot, with narration flashing back to what they went through to gain such an abundance. I agree with you, I’m an anime only and I don’t think I would have been surprised in the slightest if they waited till later to reveal the League is once again behind the big bad guy event lol. |
| Haha they nailed the comedy of Deku's rambling about Air Force in the anime |
Florent3571 said: 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. Yeah, I wonder what the director was thinking |
| IS next weeks ep anime only? I don't recall seeing any of the preview stuff in the manga. |
 |
| I still think it's very strange that this Liberation Army just popped up out of nowhere with a League of Villains partnership. From what I've been told in a previous episode thread, they had a whole arc before this one in the manga to actually establish this group within the series' universe, which I really feel like it's missing here. Everything that has to do with them just leaves me with a "something is missing here" feeling. From my anime-only perspective, they went from literally nonexistent to apparently a major threat in the span of a single episode and I'm just not feeling it. |
| I'm not too interested in this whole agency stuff. I'm just sick and tired and wanna get to the mva arc. Next episode looks better though. It looks a little fillerish (I know it's not) but hopefully it'll be nice seeing what some of the other characters are up to. Though as I stated, it's not ideal for me |
 |
| Absolutely loved this episode even if I wasn't ready for the beginning. Hawks really has to watch out. The smallest wrong step could end up in a disaster. But as he said, if the villains underestimate Deku and the rest of the students it could end in a big surprise for the villains and advantage for the heroes when it comes to a big fight. It's obviously risky because neither of the students have a lot of experience and they're also still very young but on the other side this internship will help them to close that gap, even if it's just by a little. God damn do I love Endeavor. He's such a great teacher. It also shows his true character and how hard he had to train himself to get on this level, always in mind to overcome All Might one day. Just the couple things he told Deku, Bakugo and Todoroki brought every single one of them a big step further. From not knowing how to get better in controlling their power or what they're bad at, to having an exact plan how to train for it. Therefor "One thing at a time" is a great title for this episode. |
 |
| Parallel Processing is explained better here than in the manga imo and next episode is filler? wtf |
| Meta Liberation War in 4 months everything going to be baam!The students of the Hero academics are insurance for pro heroes for fighting against villians if they failed. Endeavour Agreed to teach hero studies to Bakugou,Deku and Shojo.In the beginning This anime series used to be go in speed.Now this season is little bit of slow though..I am anxiously waiting for next week episode. |
 |
| What a fantastic episode this was, oww, i am speechless. Endeavor can be a good teacher if he's motivated at it, this time i guess Hawks helped a lot xD The whole car analogy was such a great example, can't wait for Deku to use his skills at will without any injuries. I guess this whole mess will start soon... |
"There is no such thing as an Anime elitist. You watch Anime, therefore, you are trash by society's standards." |
| Not gonna lie, I didn't expect Endeavor to be such a wise mentor. Really enjoyed listening to him talking about how a hero should be from his perspective. Pretty good episode overall. |
| Pretty understandable Midoya's explanation as always, 4 months before the big battle to begin. I really can't wait for that. |
    |
| TBH It's a filler episode and I think they are planning take it as a Shonen series ,cause if it's a Shonen it's definitely gonna blow... I suggest to move the storyline quickly and stop doing filler episodes. |
| mahi |
| Just thinking what the League of Villain is planning. |
| Really not happy with Bones' reordering. This episode they straight up spoiled MVA and next episode is filler. I can't even enjoy the Endeavor Agency arc (which they're doing well) because of the mess that is their restructuring, |
 |
| Damn Truck-kun almost killed another person. :( |

| This was probably one of the better episodes of MHA in a long time. It had exposition that didn't completely bore me to death. Is the next episode filler tho? Edit- Yes, it is indeed a filler, as suspected. Looks like Bones want to fill the 25 episode each season quota at any cost. Kind of a shame after this episode which I liked. |
| Omg that was hilarious when Deku was explaining the % of his power to Endeavor lolllllolllll. I love how Endeavor listened to what they had to say seriously & didnt shit all over what they said. Also the ED is so fucking good it’s been so long yet still not available on Spotify me cries |
 ꕤ but i’ll probably remember over and over again you were there and everyone else was there — the day we all searched for just one thing ꕤ |
| Nerd Deku is hilarious. |
 |
| Its great to feel such pressure. Their responsibility just got serious. |
 Behold of my awesomeness~ controversial and/or sensitive topics likely devolve into the same repetitive, derogatory, abusive, and harassing comments can no longer be posted. But my feels. |
| I feel like,this whole episode could've finished like,in 12 minutes while removing unnecessary overused jokes and flashbacks. The hype is really dead huh?One day passed and the replies didn't even cross a hundred.I'm laughing right now as well as feeling sad. Tiagura said: Good job Bones, Not only you did spoil the ending of MVA, But the next episode is a filler! wouldn't it make sense to shorten that garbage arc (Joint Training) instead of MVA?! But I guess the movie, and the Japanese fanbase that only like to wank on the Main cast is more important than the plot and the writing! Lmao you're forgetting that Anime is made for Japanese audience in the first place and the Japanese fanbase don't like villains that much.You can barely see any villains in the top 10 except for maybe Shigaraki,Dabi,etc.I feel like Bones are dragging this arc because they are afraid they'll lose viewership if they start the villains arc.The main reason why anime like JJK,One pice,Detective conan,etc are doing so well in Japan is because the heroes are constantly winning.Welp,money comes first before the actual story when we talk about business. Patosaurus72 said: I haven't seen this episode yet but I've heard people say it spoils MVA. So should I watch this or wait You won't know what happened as it was out of context.So I'd say watch it.Waiting doesn't make a difference. |

Shiro0347 said: David08 said: And with this episode they completely spoiled the end of MVA and removed almost all the stakes. Great. David08 said: what do you mean by that?And with this episode they completely spoiled the end of MVA and removed almost all the stakes. Great. In a future arc, that is supposed to be taking place right now, it follows the perspective of the League of Villains, so it's being called My Villain Academia. In that arc, fights happen, and certain characters lives are threatened, it seems that some of them might die. During the meeting in this episode, they revealed several characters, 1 new one that hopefully people who want to remain spoiler free didn't get a good look at, but it also showed some League of Villain characters who survived the arc. I'm not the type to care about spoilers, I willingly read the manga specifically because I wanted spoilers, but when I read that arc I was super into it and burned through it in 1 night, all to see if any of the dying characters survived. It was intense and really didn't let me stop because I had to experience it in full. If I had seen the meeting scene ahead of reading that, it would have lost all it's intensity. Would have been boring. There is nothing we can do to prevent spoilers for people who watch todays episode, but the best advice to avoid them, is not to re-watch, especially the meeting scene. I like spoilers and even I think it's better to forget that scenes characters and go into the villain arc as blind as possible. |
Snailoverlord said: I actually like this season so far and as an anime only watcher I'm getting really annoyed at all the manga readers complaining about everything. No manga/book to on screen adaptation is ever going to be the same. Never has been, never will be. They're always going to change things or reorder or completely miss huge important chunks out. Also, even though the next episode will be filler, I thin it will be nice to see what the other students are doing and it will probably give us insight when they will undoubtedly come together in 4 months about what others have been doing. focusing on the same characters all the time gets boring. As a manga reader, I'm right there with you. WAY too much complaining about it. It's gonna be fine. Sit back and enjoy, because it's gonna be really good! |
