| THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE. ---------------------------------------- A daily reminder how serious Endeavor does his job. I see that Deku observed him carefully in their internship. Got to see more of Todoroki and his family....including the past trauma that his mother suffered. Honestly, I'm not a fan of this episode's pacing but I guess it was necessarily to show the type of character Endeavor was in the past. |
 |
| Pretty boring episode... I mean, half of it has been flashbacks that we've already seen 2 or 3 times .-. And the other half are Shoto's family problems, which honestly, I'm not particularly interested in... Well at least Endervoir is trying, and Midoriya's words are sure gonna influence Shoto c: |

| The boys are immediately learning what makes Endeavor the No. 1 Hero when he's already there before something happens. That's what means to be the No. 1 Hero. Then, we saw Endeavor remembering the past things that he did to his family and repenting on them. Things he could've done as a father. The boys still couldn't defeat Endeavor today but they got to go to Endeavor's place for dinner. Bakugo and Midoriya immediately caught up to the awkwardness between Natsu and Endeavor. He's trying to change and that's all that matters. It was a fine episode, overall. |
 |
| It's back to manga content, and some padding for the events happening 2 episodes back. The hellish family of Todoroki's, even Endeavor himself has flashbacks that he regrets not protecting' his own family, but subjecting them to the fiery torture session. For his inner monologue to last the entire 1st half of the episode, this is padding already done worse that's to make up for "lost" time. Back to Todoroki, Izuku and Bakugo, and the training arc continues with the father figure leading the trio forward...and inviting them back home for dinner wiith the formal re-introduction. Izuku and Bakugo certainly having heard about Todoroki's family situation, and now getting the raw taste for the atmosphere for real. A solemn episode that continues the rabbit hole deep within. Just...pick up the pace. |

| I feel like there’s a balance between set up and climax, and personally I’m not feeling this season has a good balance of things. We’re still in set up phase 17 episodes in - 16 without filler - and it doesn’t have that pacing that I can to expect from MHA. Don’t get me wrong the set up is much better this half than the first four, but it’s getting tiresome waiting for something to happen, if they started off with this cour or blasted through the class a bs class b arc, I might have not been this tired of it lol. Episode on the whole was framing endeavours character more, and I quite enjoyed that. The amount of death flags for endeavour this episode was crazy, or was it just me who saw them? The idea of his family eating together without him etc may just be the idea that he ruined the family, but imo the foreshadowing is pouting to endeavour being changed forever and not in a good way. Even as a fairly obnoxious and overbearing person, endeavour undeniably is a great hero, from how he helped out people to the speed at which he arrived on scene. Deku nearly switched the show into food wars with his PG analysis of the mapo tofu lmao, and Bakugos crass nature helped break things apart. The endeavour family does need healing for sure , and it’s not something they’ll overcome without major changes. |

| Please we already saw that backstory 4654654 times, the first half was useless. Deku and Bakugo eating at Todoroki's place with everyone, well of course the mood is tense. |
 |
| They always come a little piece closer but it's far from enough, don’t give up shoto, kat chan and deku. Pacing was okay, nice that wee se a little more about shoto family tragedy. |

| What's the ratio of enjoyable: non-enjoyable episodes of season 5 so far? 9:1? The MLA isn't enough to fix this. winshenv said: what is the real colour of touya's hair actually???? first i saw it red then todays episode its white wth?? He always had white hair, the anime bizarrely changed it to red in the earlier episodes. No idea why. |

He always had white hair, the anime bizarrely changed it to red in the earlier episodes. No idea why. You are wrong. He had red hair and it became white. @winshenv any further explanation would be spoiler territory. I read the manga from chapter 1. What I said is correct. He had white hair. Go and read the chapter of the Sports Festival. |

| Seeing that Todoroki family situation is my favorite part of BNHA, I really loved this episode. Fuyumi is a sweetheart. The three siblings each are different examples of coping and stages of forgiveness. Fuyumi wants to move on and bring everyone together as a family again, Natsuo is still in the angry and bitter stage, and Shoto is in the waiting period. He acknowledges the good hero work Endeavor has done, but is waiting to see if his father can be a better man. And of course, Bakugo has no decorum though to be fair, sensitive topics aren't fitting for when guests are over lol. It's 6AM but now I want some mapo tofu T.T |
MegaStride said: Natinnine said: I love how the entire fandom at this point is just like "JuSt waIT foR tHE Next ArK it wiLL BLow YoUR miNd Away" honestly I am finding this season really disappointing. Hope they are right. I find the meme “The manga is better” to be funny, but it’s unironically true for My Hero Academia. MVA and + other manga arcs >> every MHA anime arc. It’s not even close. I just hope Bones makes it up by knocking season 6 out of the park, they need to do that juggernaut of an arc justice Ofcool2947 said: KaiserVonGogureo said: Man what a big load of nothing, I went to the preview after skipping to the halfway point to see if mva would start, but NOPE, they're still at that damn dinner table. So, at the MAXIMUM, we have 7 episodes for mva, but I'm betting on six, because the last episode might be the first couple chapters of the paranormal liberation war arc. What was Bones thinking with all these useless flashbacks? We could have had the rest of the EA arc this episode done in no time flat, and then we get better pacing for mva, but sadly, nope. Such a disappointment “Last episode might be the first couple chapters of the paranormal liberation war” How tf did you come to that conclusion??? They usually have the last episode have a chapter or two from the next arc, and I said might, so I don't know Mod Edit: Merged duplicated posts; please use the edit button. |

Yeah, they're gonna need all hands on deck for that one, maybe that explains why this season sucks, they had to split up their staff and all |

Looks like you also read with your eyes closed because it was red and it became white. https://ww6.readmha.com/chapter/boku-no-hero-academia-chapter-291/ Here you go. Come back and admit you’re wrong after you read it, I’ll be waiting. Stop posting spoilers you idiot. And did you bother to READ what I wrote? Here is the chapter of the episode that @winshenv was referring to. Toya always had white hair. The anime changed it to red and Horikoshi had to fix that by giving him specs of red in his hair like Fuyumi in a recent chapter. It didn't exist before. Notably, the anime also neglected the specs of red in Natsuo's hair as well. |

| this episode was kinda boring, but after watching the preview i think the next episode is going to be fun. im so excited uwu |

Your right in the hair changing but horikoshi decided to make it canon because of the animes mistake. |

It’s a pretty idiotic move to just change the hair color of someone on a whim, wouldn’t you think? Season 2 was announced and soon to animate when the manga was at the mini Dorm tour arc, and Horikoshi’s vision of here he wanted to go with it could’ve changed in that time. You’re just assuming it was an art mistake (unless you have a source that backs it up as one which FYI the mistake can always be changed in the Blu-Rays) and not also intentionally done so by the author himself. |

Yes, it's pretty stupid to change it for no reason. And no I don't think Horikoshi told them to contradict what was in his manga. |

| Man, What the fuck is Bones doing with the pacing? This episode adapted only 1 chapter, R.I.P MVA |
 |
| Ah......mad flashbacks in this episode bro holy shit. I get that they wanted to focus this whole episode on the Todoroki family drama, but realistically they could have done that in the first half, then finish the remainder of the arc (aka what we're gonna see in the next episode) in the second half of the episode. And if they really really HAD to use a whole episode for this, then this is what we should have gotten last week instead of a wasted episode for movie tie-in filler, then this episode could have finished the arc. So this arc will finish next episode, and it looks like we're gonna have 7 episodes for MVA. It's been a while since I read MVA (been meaning to go back and reread it), but I have a bad feeling in my gut that 7 episodes won't do it justice. |

| People on MAL refuse to actually enjoy watching anime. Your taste in anime isn't a personality trait. MAL is literally just anime Twitter as its own website lol. |
| As much as I hate the reordering of MVA, that was a damn good episode. |

You don’t even know if the author told the studio to change the detail or not and are just assuming that it’s a mistake. It's obviously a mistake because it's white in the manga, not red. You're the one assuming things here. Assuming Horikoshi who has no control over the anime can just call up the director and tell him what to do. Why then didn't he also tell them that Natsuo's supposed to have red in his hair too? |
