Whoa, it looks like Shinso's skills improved including a new technique in his arsenal. Impressive.

A lot of action as expected in this competition. Tbh, I'm also impressed by Class B's Ibara. Gotta love how in all these tense battles, they still threw in some comical moments. Class B is no pushover.

Much better animation than previous episodes. Especially the parts where Shishido appears were smooth. Probably the only thing that I have complains about is the amount of explanation and narration done by other characters, but other than that, the episode was far better than decent imo

Shinso and Class A students were really in bad shape, but they managed to get up thanks to Asui's strategy and Shinso's Persona Code. Okay, let's see how the next battle goes as well.

P.S. Asui's VA didn't sound similar to the previous eps. Sounded more like Kumoko from "Kumo desu ga nani ka" than the Asui herself than usual.
Even if I'm alone, I'll go, even if I want to die.
I can hear your voice, saying I shouldn't die.
Even if it's difficult, even if I cry from loneliness
I can feel warmth from deep inside my heart.

Going round-and-round and flowing, time is ever-changing.
I can't remember what happened anymore, but
If I try and close my eyes, I can hear someone's laughing voice
For some reason, now, that is My Most Precious Treasure.

Damn that was a good fight...Asui and Shinso were the MVP for sure and yeah...Vlad King should stop biasing.

Excited for the next match

Shinso was pretty awesome in this episode. Shishida was looking good as well. Little fun moments in the middle of the episodes were great to watch like the biased commentary and Ibara's "I must whip you" LOL. Ibara's vines can be quite scary. Aside from that, Class B showed great potential in their teamwork but it wasn't enough.
Also, Tsuyu did an amazing job with her plan. Basically, it was a pretty action packed episode. Much better than the previous episodes.

A lot of useless dialogue and recap from the previous ep, but on the whole was good especially with the unique planning they used to overcome their adversaries.

Let the class battles begin!

Shinso is the hero we're most looking forward to amplifying his powers, and his Quirk "Brainwashing" is evident of that with his helper voice-changing mask of Personas Cords. And Vlad King, your biasness never ends. But if this is any indication, this inter-class battle is much harder than the Sports Festival Tournament arc, and Class 1-A really have to being their A-game against 1-B.

For so long, Asui's toxic mucus is only heard once way back in Season 1, and to see it execute as a vital piece of strategy is nice. Along with Kaminari's scapegoat thinking, the pairing of Shinso and Asui makes the dream team work.

Excited to see when Shinso's power is used against Class 1-A.

The strategy is so realistic even though it's based on fictional superpower. Though I'm not emotionally engage in this match much because it's not feature my favorite character, but a new variation of "You Say Run" at the end really save this episode. I'll never get bored listening to variations of "You Say Run".

Quite good animation in battles

First battle, class A wins it ٩(◕‿◕。)۶ , Class B should not be underestimated either
Asui was also impressive with his strategy
Shinzo, despite his little experience, is improving and has been very helpful, I would love to see how he evolves 0.0

Good fighting and strategy. Good job Asui and Shinsou, they are both cool. And also the nature of Shiozaki is quite funny.

Can't wait to see the next match which is Tokoyami's greatness!

I'm loving seeing class-B quirks... Plus Shinso is main in this one so I'm just happy about that. Hoping he'll beat Deku and 1-A honestly 😳

If 1-A wins every match I'll be upset

Shinso really has grown a lot as a hero since we last saw him compete like this. He may have said at the start he's several dozen steps behind but he's really not. We saw it here with this episode that while his thinking isn't at battle speed yet Shinso still is very adequate in a fight. Helping his teammates disrupt the communication of the other team which lead to the class a victory in this first match. We got some great action are first real dose this season in the joint training arc. I loved some of the cuts and animation in the episode, it all looked great showing off the various quirks. Shishida and Shiozaki moves were done well, along with Tsu and Kaminari using there's to disrupt. Solid conclusion to the first match with not only class a getting the victory but Shinso proving his worth and how far he's come.

Great strategic fight I really liked it. Shinso is cool it’s nice to see him grow as a hero since season 2. When Kaminari told him he liked him even tho Shinso said he didn’t come here to make friends I found it very wholesome lol.

Okay i loved it. But the animation is really not that good. At some frames, the movement of characters were off and the actions were'nt that fluid. I was already upset about how AOT hasnt had any 2d fight in S4. And now seeing mha i am very upset now.

This episode was set solely on the latter half of the first match between Class 1-A and Class 1-B.

It was cool to see Shinso further becoming more adept to the hero course. It's also good that he is self-aware that his quirk may be powerful but his lack of experience is what holds him back, meaning that he can put trust and reliance in his team.

Kirishima and Koda got pretty much owned right from the get-go. However, we did get to see Asui's leadership skills, and Kaminari's pointers in action.

I loved this episode. But I think there was a mistake at the writing. When Kirishima was falling down to the enemy with great velocity, he was in the red gauntlet mode. His quirk gaves him sharp edges all around his body. So he could have used this chance to pierce through the vines and beat her up. Panicking is not a excuse because he has gone through this kind of fights countless times.

Also I'm glad they keep praising Shinso, he doesn't show it but I bet he's very happy when they praise him and his quirk after people fearing his quirk most of his life.

No one is talking about Kaminari idea to essentially play everyone by acting as a decoy their chances were essentially escalated by like 80% percent or something his idea essentially allowed Shinsou and Asui to do what they do Kaminari should get an acting award he played all of them

Great episode! They really pulling out all the stops to make this arc even more enjoyable than the manga for the ones that didn't like it, cause this episode's production was clean as hell.

Shame Kirishima was captured quickly, well that just goes to show that Kirishima is a threat so they had to deal with him first. Kaminari using his brain cells to give the team a chance for victory. Shinso is one of the reasons for their victory, but Froppy was definitely the mvp of the match. She beat a dude with another dude.

Really looking forward to the next episode, let's fucking go my boi Tokoyami.

This episode was pretty good and a good showcase of solid teamwork from both teams.

Tsuyuu deserves the most praise, as her planning to strike back at 1-B after getting caught by surprise was pretty smart of her. Coupled with some good thinking from Shinso and even Denki, their plan went off perfectly.

Some parts of the episode had some nice and fluid animation, which made this episode more satisfying. I know we'll see more sakuga in later fights, but getting a bit of it sprinkled in this episode was a nice addition regardless. Nothing to be upset about, unless you expect god-tier animation every episode... ¬_¬

Either way, I do look forward to the next battle, as it involves Tsukuyomi. =)

I think Kaminari and Tsuyu are equal in terms of praise that they deserve then shinsou as he has a chance to prove himself even more in his second match

Best episode of Season 5 so far.
My thoughts:

-The art in the previous episodes looked kinda... awkward, I would say. But it's got much more consistent and crisp for this one.
-The animation was spectacular. We got some very nice fluid and expressive sakuga moments. The best were definetly Denki approaching Shishida and Shishida chasing after Shinso.
-Rin's VA didn't gave to go this hard on the voice acting, but he did, haha.
-Soundtrack was nice.
-Tsuburama is a fucking simp.
-Shinso is now one of my favorite characters.
-Tsuyu's voice got... Deeper? Matured? More serious? Idk how to say it exactly but I hope I'm not the only one noticing Tsuyu's different tone.


Overall 9/10 or even 10/10 episode. Lots of hype and Bones is doing an excellent job with the directing, even though this is considered one of the weaker arcs of the manga.

This episode was great. Personally im enjoying this season so far way more than the start of last season. Also anyone know why Tsuyu sounded different? It still sounded like yuuki aoi tho which is weird.
