Seems like this arc will focus on Jirou mostly, then slowly transition into Todoroki's arc...this is my anime only guess lol

The attention to detail is immaculate. The new OP sets the tone/mood for the next 10 episodes. I'm assuming the following episodes will generally be leaning towards the slice of life genre following the students lives after the previous 2 massive episodes. The new ED ends with Midoriya saying broken in Japanese increasing the song's impact. I thought that was pretty cool.

Great calm episode!

Gran Torino managed to capture Kurogiri, but decouvered that giant disaster walker, it will be troublesome!

It is nice to see how good person Mirio is, and his positive personality is really amusing, and Mirio helped Deku to stop thinking about give him One for All!

Todoroki and all class A are back, and honestly i didn't miss Bakugou at all, still the same annoying character!

Seems we are going to see Todoroki and Bakugou exam for now!

I am glad to see the last students from other school, and seems the true Cammie is there now, i found her na awesome and cute girl!

Gang Orca and Endeover are also there!

Curious for following episodes!

New OP was alright; I liked the first cour OP better..
A part of me wants Mirio to get his quirk back but the other part thinks it would serve the narrative better if he went quirkless.

That giant creature All for One created looks terrifying!

And the real Cammie makes an appearance. If I'm remembering correctly, we haven't seen her quirk in the anime yet right?



That's a great find! Definitely supports the Dabi Todoroki theory! (Please don't spoil if this has been answered in the manga!)

Having not read the manga, I hope this cour plays out similarly to season 3 and avoids the formulaic mold of seasons 1 and 2.

Love this show! I think it continues to prove itself in the discussion for a top shounen product. The quality of animation, character development and narrative stakes which draw authentic emotion from its fan base started off strong and has continued to improve where as a show like 7DS has completely fallen off into obscurity.
what do u mean formulaic mold?


Let me preface this by saying I understand the viewpoint of MHA not being a battle shounen and the arguments for it being more of a "slice of life".

Imo; I believe the 3rd season to be better than season 1 and 2. The formula isn't strictly a MHA problem but an inherent characteristic of shounen products in general. I feel like formula of 'introduce bad guy, train for an arc, defeat said bad guy' has gotten redundant in shounen. And while MHA is not the worst offender by any means, it has never felt like it was meant to become a long running shounen a la Naruto, One Piece, etc. What I mean by this is that it has a pretty clear end point in sight. ("This is the story of how I became the world's greatest hero")

While the first season is obviously needed for world building and character set up, the second season falls very flat with no evolution of stakes (though Stain does save the season for me).
In the third season there is always impending danger, even during the "school arc" moments where the League infiltrates the license exam. I think MHA is at a point now where we don't need 'training arc' followed by a couple episodes of battle. The world and characters are developed enough to a point where a consistent narrative can stay interesting and continuously progress.

Coming off from Overhaul's demise, both body and Quirk, Shigaraki and his League of Villains are ready to strike again, just not now, because the transition to the School Festival arc is here, with a new OP/ED!

Gran Torino on the lookout for Kurogiri, while the enemy himself is looking out for the successor for All For One: Gigantomachia, the only one left to follow the plans for the grand Master. Even All Might is warned, and danger is lurking closely as ever.

Even then, Izuku and the others are back from their Pro Hero duties (or sacrifices, much rather) from the heavy casulties of the Overhaul arc. Mirio is still smiling and inspiring even if he has lost his Quirk from Chisaki's quirk-erasing bullet, but this also means that Izuku has an even HEAVIER weight on his shoulder for any villanous efforts past this venture.

ONE thing's for sure, this incident is FAR FROM OVER at the back of their minds, the weight ensuring that Izuku, Kirishima, Uraraka and Tsuyu are NEVER FAR from danger that could happen anytime.

And also, good to see the entirety of Class 1-A once again, while on the other side, it's been long that Bakugo and Todoroki has had their 2nd try at the Pro Hero provisional license training once again, the only 2 failures from Season 2, plus the others that we've hadn't seen before.

More than just being the last 10 episodes, this episode is sure to turn the tide for the after moments from now on.

Mirio lost his quirk but Eri's quirk can recover it. Why not tell Neito Monoma to copy Eri's quirk and recover Mirio's power?

Iirc Neito can copy other peoples quirk for 5 minute

I'm loving the visuals for the OP and ED, especially the OP being Kyoka Jiro-centric. It's important for the events that will come after Todoroki and Bakugo complete the license test.

Btw, I've read the manga but I can't remember why despite Shishikura Seiji failing, why didn't he retake the exam like Todoroki, Camie, etc.? They all lost during the first license exam right? Why isn't he retaking it like the rest of them?

it seems like a new arc is upon us...

so giganto whatever his name is is the new villain??? my hopes aren't that high for this new guy. it's sad overhaul's reign is over because his villainy seemed to be on such a high level. i don't expect much from this new guy. he can probably only destroy things and has no real thought processes or well thought out plans in the works. but we will see....

i hope eri recovers ><

also, i admire mirio so much for his perspective and attitude even when through these trials and tribulations! he is a dictionary definition of a hero and the fact that deku considered giving up his power so mirio could use it instead hurts a little. he's not thinking about why all might wanted him to have it and also not giving himself enough credit for being the person all might chose. deku should trust in all might a bit more and cherish the power he was given. i can understand thinking about wanting to help mirio out, but don't say it out loud, my guy.. and of course all might heard the whole convo smh

good luck to todoroki, bakugo, the girl, and the funny head shaved guy who hates todoroki lmao
also, i wonder what endeavor wants to talk to all might for. that should be interesting!! we knew this encounter was coming eventually.

The new opening is a lot of fun. It’s already giving a way different feeling from the first half of this season.

Mirio has an amazing positive attitude. I hope we eventually see his quirk return.

We get some more Todoroki and Bakugou stuff which is nice after how much screen time they’ve gotten this season.

i'm pretty late to this episode, but i really enjoyed it. new themes are great (better than i thought they would be) and it was a great ending to the overhaul arc. bones definitely did it justice.

from what i can see looking at the ED, it sounds like the second half of the season will actually be including the pro hero arc, which i'm unbelievably excited about. it's one of my favorite arcs so hopefully they'll be able to fit it in since the festival arc is relatively short. the visuals from the ED actually gave me chills and hyped me up,


can't wait to see bakugou and todoroki with the kiddos

If there's one thing I'd criticize about the Shie Hassaikai arc, it's that I think Lemillion and Deku were way too attached to Eri too quickly.

I get that they're heroes with strong convictions, and they feel somewhat responsible for not saving her the first time they ran into her, but the level of attachment they had with her, and she with them, needed to be built a little more or toned down.

It sounds wrong, since they're heroes, but I think the implication of failing to save Eri should have been focused more than just Eri herself. I feel like both Deku and Lemillion were invested in Eri's well being almost like they were her family. If that was the intention, then I guess they did the job, but I think it came off a little too strong.

So, looks like the true end of storm and everyone is getting back at school..
w0w Kurogiri has been captured!? isn't it too easy!? or maybe part of a deeper plan of some villains?
oh and that walking disaster "Gigantomachia" looks like a perfect match for All Might in his prime form...i wonder how would it fare against Deku with 100% full cowling with no consequence power of Eri!
5/5.

Finally, actual character arcs I can care about. With the double best baes of the anime, Bakugo and Todoroki. Midoriya is an empty container of space. He's too touchy feely for me. It comes off as maybe I'm thinking he's a femme. I mean can someone with such intense feelings grow up a normal hetero guy? I'm not so sure.

Thank God, I need as much of a break and space from Midoriya the nerd as possible.

Now we get to see what big-boss flame guy is up to and confront actual implications of the world and see Bakes and Todos figure out how to work together as a team.

Maybe we can get a decent arc out of this season yet.

The new OP is way different compared to the one before but I like it. Like someone mentioned it also reminds me on Bleach.

Gran Torino is such a badass. How easily he overwhelmed Kurogiri was crazy to see. But this Gigantomachia guy is something else. The dmg he did in the forest from what we saw later in this episode he's very strong. I guess that what you can expect from a servant of All for One. At least Gran Torino was able to capture Kurogiri, even if I'm sure Shigaraki will try to rescue him at some point.

I'm so impressed by Mirio. Even after all what happened to him in losing his quirk and even worse his sensei, he still is able to look into the furute with a smile. He was also able to cheer up Deku, which is nice. I really hope Mirio gets his quirk back, he's such an awesome character.

I guess Midoriya, Uraraka, Kirishima and Tsuyu just need some rest after the events.

We finally got more to see of Bakugo and Todoroki and their special course. Camy seems to like Todoroki a lot, at least from her first impression of him. There were also some other familiar faces from the last season, so it should get interesting.

I wonder what Endeavour wants to talk about with All Might.

Not to forget the visuals for the ED were amazing. I love to see characters when they were younger.

Gran Torino was able to capture Kurogiri which was a big step in the right direction towards crippling the League but a way bigger and threatening asset of theirs has made his debut.

Deku and the others finally having that Overhaul situation behind them is a pleasant thing and they deserve a break~ It's also great to see that Mirio's making the most out of his current situation even if he's most likely still grieving over Nighteye's death and the loss of his Quirk behind the scenes. I'm hoping that Eri will be able to use her Quirk again on Mirio to get his powers back soon but I'm also hoping that they won't end up using her as a tool to heal everyone else after that including Deku and All Might because of the intense strain the reversal process causes her in addition to the long cooldown time after each use. Not to mention that it would be the easy way out kek

Bakugo and Todoroki's remedial exams are coming up and I'm confident that they'll be able to catch up with the others in no time once they pass.

The new set of theme songs have arrived and I like how laidback they both are in visuals and song choice. There isn't going to be much of the usual action going on but I'm very excited to see their festive school festival in animation~

New OP is very light-hearted for this series. I don't really like it. No, not at all. It seems like it belongs on an OVA rather than the actual main series.

Good to see what Gran Torino's up to.

Mirio's so strong. Looks like Midoriya's doubts are back and he's gonna feel unworthy again and wish Mirio had been chosen.

Is Aizawa sensei sad about Nighteye too in the flashback or just comforting Mirio? It's hard to tell. His face never changes and he didn't seem to know the guy so probably the latter. He is a good sensei.

All Might overheard Mirio and Midoriya, but he's probably not too happy right now either. Will he even say anything to Midoriya, or just let it simmer like he did with Nighteye's prediction?

Kurogiri is caught, but crazy forest giant is not. Oh no.

Finally a lot is happening in episodes again.

Also, I'm glad that this half of the season looks like it's going to focus on Todoroki's/Bakugo's training sessions. I've missed seeing them in action.

I really hope Endeavor and All Might make it up, Endeavor's been less of an asshole lately.

The second half starts! New op and ending!!

Quite a calm episode. Though threats are getting bigger. And this time it is huge. Good thing they got Kurogiri.

Izuku is not completely like All-might. He is too serious in his work that he forgets to keep the smile he likes to keep. He is very emotional too. Where Mirio is quite similar to All-might. Even he smiles like him. Mirio is acting like Izuku when Izuku didn't had his quirk. But Mirio has a chance to recover.


Glad to see Katsuki again. Seriously I missed him during the fights. Looks like he got a new friend, Shouto XD!!!

I looooove the ED. I watched Survival Kunren OVA before S4 so I’ve already seen the OP & ED, Shout Baby is so good!!!!! And those visuals erhhhmagerdddd

I wonder how Yakuza arc is going to affect them from here on. They seemed to have matured from it & it has definitely affected them. I hope it’s not just ignored & treated as nothing happened lol

Iida is the best isn’t he♡ I loved the flashback to when he & Shouta ate with Deku & he broke down & he couldn’t share with anyone what was stressing him out. That was so sad. He knew he was struggling, iin-cho indeed♡

L O L @ Kaminari calling Bakugou KACCHAN & straight up calling him out. I laughed lollllol this boy is fearless when it comes to Bakugou.

There’s never too much Kacchan & Shouto. I’ve missed them!!!!!! And the Shiketsu folks are back! I smiled seeing Yoarashi again ;)

I wonder why I always get a bit teary when all students of their class come together, somehow it's always fun to watch them interact. Next episode should be good with more screentime for side characters, also we finally see the real Camie who acts like a gyaru xD

Unbelievable filler following the same trend they did with second and third. Use to relief some stress after putting so much effort over the Overhaul arc? At least theres a connection with Mina-Kirishima little backstory over those gigantic quirk person whatever he's doin, seems important. But anyway let's back to the filler part, Bakugou and Shoto restart their license exam course, then need to beat the children!
