As someone who also enjoys regular slice of life/school/comedies, this is one of the best festival arcs and I honestly prefer it over some crap that's going to come after this. Just try to enjoy it for what it is folks.
Before this season aired, I was told that the arc that comes next (overhaul) was going to be the best arc and the next one after that was going to be shit so in other words this arc. Thing is that I've been enjoying this arc more than overhaul's so I guess ppl are complaining just cuz this is a slice of life arc. So far, I agree that it is on the higher end of festival arcs.

I always hate that the tail end of every season is just filler esque and rather boring. I'll still ride the rest of this season out though cause my girl Jiro is actually of use finally. But why the hell is she singing in English when they ask her to sing? Can we please stop shoe horning in that Youtuber singer or whatever into everything? This completely ruined any sense of immersion I had wtf.

JC, the cringe I get from Gentle and la Brava, can't help but fast forward them. This season keeps hitting more lows and lows, it's amazing.

Apart from the last few minutes the episode was so boring. The comedy wasn't even funny at all

I don't know, it's only me or this season is undertone?
Even the big hyped fight with overhaul seemed nothing special , it wasn't even emotional to me. I prefered the fight vs muscular a lot tbh

But maybe it's just me

"range has been an issue for me and I couldn't think of a solution"

BS, he could have just thrown rocks and other stuff at his opponents. Given his strength they would have been rather devastating projectiles even at 8%. This solution is so obvious that there is really no excuse here.

Ok this episode was much better than the previous ones. Its been really "ok" recently so Im glad to see a decent episode. That talk with All Might at the end was great. I always love the one to one talks All Might has and this one was really nice to see. We havent had much between Deku and All Might so this was nice to see. So now he's learned another way to progress his power. I look forward to seeing him be able to pull off more.

Seems a lot of series are having english singers these days. Personally not bothered by it.

My God, the amount of people complaining/whining about the lack of action and fights... honestly, it really seems that despite still being high-schoolers, "fans" can't understand the idea of Deku and co. finally getting a break for themselves.

Anyways, decent episode overall. The SoL moments were nice and though the comedy was a bit jarring for moments, it was still bearable enough.

On a side note, Jirou's singing didn't feel much rock-like but it was impressive nevertheless. Doubt that was her actual VA singing tho.

I'm enjoying the chill episodes. People who want pure action should stick to DBZ or something similar. This is a good time to see how characters such as Bakugou have developed. Honestly, he has developed the most, even more than Deku who pretty much still has the same personality as before with only slight improvement now that he's able to talk back to Bakugou and others.

I'm excited to see Eri enjoy the festival.

Also, as a manga reader, don't expect anything too exciting to happen in a long time. The manga only started getting into the really interesting battles.

WELP, why do people "ONLY" expect action out of this series?

Anywho, quite interested about villain duo Gentle Criminal and La Brava's involvement in the school festival, more than gaining views. Their idea of villainy is nothing superb, but depending on human perception engages them to act vigorously.

Even as Class 1-A settles in on doing a rock band for the festival, for Bakugo, he's still very unsettled about others ever since the incident before, but it's great seeing his matured personality shine through his distaste for people dissing them.

While the others settle into their positions, asking Jiro to anchor singing and playing, that's something, but the English singing, please tell me that's real coming from her VA. HAH Mineta momentary breaking the 4th wall with his character design, and with giving him his "time of harem" LOL

For Izuku, fighting to control All Might's power is still very wishy-washy, but he decides to teach him anyways to master the power even further without breaking his body.

Mirio has brought Eri to U.A., unbeknownst of the villain duo invading the school. Her welcome will be of most importance, but danger lurks with every direction.

Do you guys really not understand what filler is? Filler is an episode that accomplishes nothing at all in the overarching plot. Which is kinda the polar opposite of what this episode did.

This episode had: 1-A working out their plans for the cultural festival, laying the groundwork for Deku's next improvements, and laid out what the villain for this arc's focus is going to be. There was also some good characterization for Bakugo which isn't something that would happen in a filler episode.

i read up to the end of this season in the manga so i'll keep watching for 1 more fight that i hope they'll do right, overall i'd say you might be better off reading the manga for this season, this wasn't terrible but so far no fight scene really gave me the feeling i had in the previous season, this might be a first 7/10 for mha for me. i hope they'll do season 5 better.


i don't agree. This arc AND the next arc both should be enjoyed in anime format. This arc because of the Gentle fight will be more emotional and heart-breaking with animation and voice acting and soundtrack, while the result of the school festival should be obviously seen in anime format where we can hear Jirou sing and witness the greatness of the show they came up with in motion.

Without spoilers, next arc (season 5) is the best arc of mha PERIOD and you definitely need to watch it get animated.

Gentle reminds me a lot of Phantom Thief B from the Trails series. They are both jovial lunatic antagonists who really do their own thing, who want to revel in their own glory. They are capable of violence, but envision themselves as intellectuals. Would be cool if Gentle stuck around for a while, though he'd have to be defeated and captured eventually for the sake of maintain accountability.

I wonder how La Brava fell in with him. Was she some teenage girl who fantasized about living an exciting life, saw Gentle one day, and then ran away from home in the hopes of becoming his apprentice/sidekick/partner?

Episode was awesome. I don’t even understand how MHA garnered a fan base of so many whiny babies. Action was never MHAs forte. It has some good action, yes. But it’s strongest points have always been, exciting moments, great characterization (especially for villains) , awesome worldbuilding, and just a unique sense of fun and great emotional core. This arc is an amazing balance of everything MHA is good at and to complain and hate on it cause “mah action” is hilarious and shows me that many people don’t even realize what makes MHA good.

The school festival stuff seems boring af after all the nail-biting action we've gotten so far. Also I could care less about this gentle villain guy who seems like more of a clown than a villain.

Only redeeming part of this episode was All Might teaching Midoriya some new moves.

If this is all that we can expect to get in these last few episodes of the season, then I'm over it... Next season plz, I'm not interested in these boring developments.


word. couldnt say it better, s4 keeps hittin new lows...hope they got somethin at least interesting in the manga for the next season cuz this shit boring af

Gentle is climbing the steps to being my favourite BnHA villain with an incredible speed. He has motives. He's fabulous. And he's a true gentleman. That's what I call a nice villain.


Same, he's really different than any other villain that's introduced in BnHA, he's really charismatic.

but now these two are that type of characters I can't stand to watch for longer than a few minutes, it's not exactly their problem (anyway, I don't want to complain about characters when the mangaka gave me All Might the best written hero-teacher-whatever EVER), simply don't like them so I don't wanna watch them

Damn! Deku will have long-range shots! And if he combines with his powers..oh boy!

Eri is so cute, hope nothing will happen to her.

For a series that was listed as a solid 8 in my books, this is quite a downfall. I can't take this.
I wanna drop this so bad, but the only thing that is making me go trough is literally the last moment of this season when certain someone makes something cool.

From an 8 to a 3/10, basically.

Right ? Hard to believe that there are 6 episodes left and nothing of relevance actually happened in this season.


A lot has happened, you're just not paying attention.

- League of Villains now has access to a weapon that can remove quirks
- Nighteye predicted that All Might will die soon (while Deku proved that it IS possible to change predictions)
- The heroes are now "in control" of a girl who has the power to "rewind" people
- Everybody else finished their licensing exams
- A new villain is trying to deconstruct what it means to be a hero and a villain (though honestly, he seems like another attempt at a Stain-like character)
- More development for a lot of characters

In a way, it reminds me of One Piece's Skypiea arc, where the main story is separate from everything else going on, but a lot of developments happen and concepts are introduced that will become important.

It's crazy how I'm enjoying every single aspect of the show, I can't wait to hear Jiro's singing at the concert. I am completely looking forward to Gentle and La Brava breaking into UA, what this does is he's going to show that UA is in fact breakable so fix that mistake, which basically means UA will never be broken into by actual villians in the future.[I am not a manga reader, these are anime only theories!].

Eh, Gentle is nowhere near Phantom Thief B, for starters, B is more stealthy and does riddles while Gentle doesn't. And last but not least, B is far way more likable than this wannabe.

Filler? it's in the manga, since when did manga have filler? Gentle is one of the best written characters in mha. it doesn't matter if he's important or not.


Manga can have filler. Filler is stuff that is a waste of time, like this arc 😏
