Here I was thinking that Hawks was a bad guy. They got me good.

I like the focus on Endeavor and his family.

So we got to see the original person with the "All For One". That was interesting.

Can't wait to see Class A vs. Class B. Looking forward to that.

Well this was way better than the first ep but that's not surprising. But turns out that OP is the real opening huh. It's so basic I thought it was something only for ep 1 lol. Well anyway the best part of the entirety of mha has been in season 2 when learning about Todoriki's family an shit, so that stuff was really good this ep. Show would be more interesting if it just focused on Endeavor more.

Wtf????Do the kids really rated it 1/5 because it had no action?Lmao sucks to be them.

The Va for One for all 1st user 10/10.
But I feel like they gave us an abrupt ending.The cliffhanger could've been much better.Not that they are leaving out any plot points or anything it's just that the pacing is seeming to be off.Hope they don't mess up Meta liberation arc cuz it's the second best arc in Mha.
Also the character designs and the animation is also improved compared to the 1st episode but the pacing seems to get more worse.

I also don't like how Dabi and Endeavor battle was presented in a flashback form.It would've been an epic cliffhanger if Dabi met Endeavor in the last episode of season 4.
I feel like the soundtrack would've been more sinister than what we heard now cuz i've already heard this ost in season 3 and it doesn'tt feel like much scarier compared to season 3
Not really much information we got out of this episode 3/5

I don't understand what you are on about when the story was presented pretty clear.

Sadly still no shinso or 1-B... But we did get some unintentionally funny bits😳 Shoto just chilling and eating at the family meeting was hilarious. The other part was "you only read til volume 3!"

Have you seen the preview?We may see them in the 3rd episode.I feel like they could've just introduce them in the 2nd episode itself.

I feel like they should've revealed us he's not a bad guy in the later episodes or maybe in the war arc in season 6.That would've been an epic plot twist.

MHA openings are always so forgettable to me. Anyways... best part of the episode was everything Todoroki. Lmfao can the show just focus on Shoto and his family please?
Had the biggest sigh of relief to find out Hawks was a double agent. Love him too much.

Worst part of episode was everything Deku and his flashback/dream.
I don’t read the manga but idk felt like the way the backstory was presented was bad. Just my opinion folks.

Next episode looks like it will be fun tho

Did they just leave out the All might and Deku's conversion when he was out jogging?THAT WAS SO IMPORTANT!That was the moment when Deku was starting to lose his trust in All might on not telling everything to him.I hope we at least get to see it in a flashback form.

That was in S4 when Nighteye said that All Might die soon.

I re-read chapter 192 and 193 to check if there was scene like that you were mentioning but there aren't any scene like that and the anime adapted the chapter faithfully just skipped a few manga panels such as Recovery Girl healing Endeavor and offering him a M&M and Mirko looking for Dabi in the area and Mirko compalining about that ooey-gooey stuff when he kicked Dabi while teleporting when she kicked him but I am fine if they cut a few comedy panels else it would have ruined the seriousness the anime wanted to show.

So Hawks is a double agent, which I bet Dabi thinks as well. More focus on Endeavor and his relationship with his family. It will probably be important if this season goes how I think it will.

The One For All dream Deku had was a big information dump. I liked how All For One was actually characterized as pretending to help people with and without quirks to gain their powers and loyalty. I did not like One For All’s voice.

Ah thx for the info.I'm just pissed they included the part where Dabi meets Endeavor in a flashback form where it should've taken place right after the High end battle.
I got confused.I thought when Deku went out jogging All might was with him and they would have a conversion.Anyway I'll edit my comment.Thx again.

Natsuo's reaction is understandable. It's not easy to forgive a trashy dad from the past but I'm hopping Enji can show the family he really changed for the better soon.

The cat's reaction was very strange... Doesn't Aizawa supposely likes cats??

Ok episode, it wasn't that special, but one thing I know is that the training with class B is going to start next week and I can't wait for the action X3

Honestly, the moment where Shoto asks something important before slurping his noodles loudly was random, but funny as hell! XD

Still, this was another serious episode as we get to learn more about what Hawks is doing behind the scenes as a double agent. It's a risky strategy, so it'll be interesting to be how his side of the story unfolds.

As for Endeavour, his visit back home had that air of awkwardness and high tension, as Natsuo still harbours anger towards his father for what he did in the past. Shoto agrees with Natsuo's views, but he wants to see how things go, which is a nice optimistic view from him.

What Endeavour did before in the past was wrong and it's going to be easier said than done when it comes to him "atoning" from his mistakes, but you can see that he's serious about making things work and making that first step in talking to Natsuo will be tough, but hopefully this will be another step to him regaining even a small bit of trust with his family.

Lastly, we get to see Midoriya's dream, with the other One-For-All users, including the very first one, who is the younger sibling of the user of All-For-One, which was really interesting.

I d look forward to the battle between Class 1A vs 1B. That should be really exciting. =)

Todoroki with the scar comment, was probably one of the best lines I have seen here, considering how much of a dick Endeavor has been. I do like this character development for him though.

So Hawks is undercover pretty much, a surprise, especially since the preview last week made me think he's a villain lol.

A lot of info this episode. I am curious about these Vestiges though, seems that the first One for All user is the brother of All for One, I mean it was pretty obvious that there has always been a connection between them, but didn't think we would be talking siblings. Can't wait for them to dive deeper into it.

Probably the first time we see the Bunny hero, Mirko fight.
Endeavour is seriously injured, the big guy lost an eye too.

I don't remember Santhc at all. So Hawk is doing either a betrayal or a double betrayal, I seriously don't know.
Ah, no, his eye is fine. I guess Hawks is on the hero side after all.
Well, the second half was interesting! So Deku is using 20% of One for All's full potential.

I enjoyed this episode! Hawks had me a little nervous when he met up with Dabi at the end of episode 1, but I'm glad it's been cleared up that he's working as a spy. It sucks that he was thrusted into this position, though. I feel like the response to Endeavor by his family was pretty realistic. You can't expect them to be entirely forgiven for ruining all of their childhoods, even after fighting a huge threat like that Nomu. The biggest highlight, though, is the backstory of One for All. It really answered some questions whilst adding more questions. I'm ready to see Deku learn more about it as this season goes on.

Decent episode of MHA in which we get to see the pro heroes in action again. Hawks is trying to get into the League as an undercover agent, but he seems conflicted about it. He better not blow his cover around Dabi. Endeavor may be the #1, but his family life is toxic. Natsu refuses to speak to him. Shoto seems indifferent about Endeavor, but still doesn't forgive him. Fuyumi seems to be only one trying to bring the family together, but the trauma from Enji's abuse still runs deep in the family. Enji still has a long way to go to patch things up with him. Meanwhile, Deku has a dream seeing the former users of One for All, but then he sees All for One confronting and killing his younger brother. It seems like the All for One's younger brother is trying to communicate with Deku via One for All.

The way they animated the backstory was great, definitely the best part of the episode for me. Yuki Hayashi once again with the absolute banger of a soundtrack.

It's nice to see Endeavor try to redeem himself and get along with his family. :)
Class A vs Class B next, arguably my least favorite arc of BnHA but let's see what the anime can do to make it more engaging.

Woow the bot hate train is here!

So Hakws' parents died when he was young and the government helped him, and that's why you are very grateful to them?

the animation was OK, I forgot that in MHA they tend to exaggerate facial expressions

the passage of time is very slow, but at this point it became normal, although sometimes not acceptable, I hope it improves

Ooooh damn, One For All is finally awakening within Izuku now and the origins of the power are being revealed. You know All For One is truly evil because of the things he did to his younger brother out of 'love', like imprisoning him and forcing him to bear a power that he never wanted.

I have to say, I don't think Soichiro Hoshi is a good fit for One For All. His voice is too cartoonish (for lack of a better word) for the role. I always thought that he'd sound more soft-spoken but firm. In fact, I always thought Nobunaga Shimazaki would be perfect (Haru from Free!). It's not a big deal though I guess cause he doesn't talk much anyway!

We were finally introduced (kind of) to the new bunny hero. Hawks is working for the League of Villains since the fight from the last episode was a setup. We learned more about Endeavor and his family troubles. Due to his obsession with being the number 1 hero, he fractured the relationship of his own family. We already know what happened to Rei (Shoto's mother) and Shoto. He just didn't know how it affected his other children. We don't know what happened to Shoto's older brother (but the manga readers already know). Now, he wants to change for the better which is why he's putting in the effort but he still doesn't know what direction he should take. We get to see the other heroes/people with All for One, even though some of them were completely covered up.

Can't wait to see the next episode.

Having read everything from the manga, its good to see things animated, however, I feel like the first two episodes in season five were completely wasted. They could do without the obligatory "extra" episode all together, and this episode should have been a foot note included in a larger episode. Overall I am very disappointed in this season so far. I know it will get better, but there is so much good content coming, that its a shame they started out the way they did.

i agree that the back story of All for one was a bit childish and not how a grown man motivation would be, But it's fucking shounen anime that's what you should expect from the first place.

Great episode in my opinion.

Those injuries don't look too good, I hope endevor gets better soon. Also the hawks thing with dabi and the league was interesting. It's also cool on how we got a glimpse of his past and how he was somewhat of a child prodigy. I also understand natsu's grudge against his dad, it's really hard to forgive someone like that.

Also deku's dream was very important to the story. We really see the relationship with the two brothers more closely as of now.

Can't wait for the next episode!

Aye this is honestly pretty amazing so far. Congrats to Studio Bones for bringing us a high quality product despite this harsh pandemic that's restricted so many things.

The art is nice and crisp. Aestethically pleasing.

The animation is pretty smooth.

The voice acting, OST's,OP and ED are kinda bangin'.


Overall, this episode got me real excited for what's to come next. The quality of the direction of the show feels great so far.
