Once again, Mineta knows where the goods are with a great view of Momo's butt. Shame that she caught him out though. XD

It's cool to see the other student's performance too. Todoroki just made the entire thing look ridiculously easy when he froze the whole building, including the 'villains' and thus, achieving his objective with ease.

Deku is now getting acknowledged by his classmates after his performance, which surprised him, but I'm sure he's happy about it. =)

Overall, it was a great episode and I'm curious about the main villains and what they'll be doing in future episodes to come.

Why would you be lol?

Because currently I don't see anything likeable in him and would rather see him turn into a potentially entertaining villain?

That'd be too reminescent of the Sasuke BS. If that happens here too, I'd be seriously disappointed with this series.

My favorite episode so far.

Iida swooning when being praised was so LOL...

Momo with perfect analysis, even All Might was stunned...

The music which started playing when Todoroki froze the building and they showed the other students was really great.

My favorite character Tokoyami looked so badass walking slowly towards the "villains" with his dark cloak and then suddenly revealing his quirk.

The class interactions were funny as hell, Mineta, Aoyama and Iida are a riot.

Powerful scene at the end, even All Might does not have anything to say to Bakugo. As much as an asshole he is, I just cannot hate him - his strong conviction to be the best is just so charismatic. Nice to see him admitting he is not so great though :)

Perfect episode 5/5

So happy to see Tokoyami, Todoroki and Momo get their screen time :D

Bakugo stole the episode - loved the scene between him and Deku at the end.

Great episode overall, just wish it was 24 episodes instead :(

Bakugou get totally rekted mentally in this episode. Ice dude is OP as fuck, he didn't even need the intervention of his partner to complete the training. The students of Deku's class are cool and likeable so far. Apart of Uraraka and Iida, I like Tsuyu, Mina and the bird dude (who has a really badass Quirk).

The final part of Bakugou made him a bit more likeable in my eyes. He is an asshole without any doubt, but he has redeeming qualities and I find his determination cool despite how much of a jerk he is.

And we see the villains at the end. Cannot wait to see them in action.

Bakugo got a real explosion of reality. Not only Deku "beat him" but now he is starting to realize the world is a big place and that he is far of being the big shot he thought he was since there are people with far stronger Quirks, not to mention more hardened mentalities that far outclass him. GOOD, you needed that you lil arrogant shit.

Funny how Deku becomes the center of attention. People adore him and that's nice. Getting looked down for being Quirkless and now getting praise and respect, that's beautiful.

I love All Might's english phrases (Oh Shit), and he got a proper scolding himself. He is a pro hero but realizes he has a lot to do before being a teacher. He is a mentor but at the same time he is learning himself.

Last but not least we got our next psycho villain. Ever since I saw Kouki Uchiyama voice Yuu (Charlotte) and Bairi was it? (Guilty Crown). I'm entirely convinced he fits the psychopath profile way too well.

As a manga reader, I wish the the word "Sasuke" would be banned from all Boku No Hero discussions in existence. It's bad enough people wouldn't stop on Mangareader until Bakugou saved us recently from it, it's even worse to see people are already starting that bs here way before the Sasuke conspiracy theories reached peak annoyance by crazed Sasuke seers at a point in the manga.

BTW, he's much, much, MUCH, more like Vegeta than Sasuke, if you have to do comparisons.

Anyways, the real reason I came here was to ask if anyone could tell me who the other two official recommendations were to join the class other than Todoroki and Momo, because I seem to have completely forgotten about this and I can't seem to find through google who these other two people were. Spoiler tag it I guess when responding.

Shitty personality =/= villain route

The problem with Sasuke wasn't so much that he turned into a villain, but that he -never- grew as a character. Not once. He was always a whiny bitch and even when shown that he was completely utterly wrong, he did the same vengeance shit again.

Bakugo's current trajectory is villain (Heck, the other students even say as much in the previous episode), which is not necessarily a bad thing in terms of story. Having him suddenly become a good person after having been a bully his entire life would make absolutely no sense.

Damn Bakugo needs help. His inferiority complex is way too strong and he literally just went catatonic. Watching Bakugo was really quite painful. When he, an extremely prideful person, started shivering and crying in front of the whole school, you know that shits hitting him way too hard.

He needs some counselling at the very least. I really feel sorry for him.

Kacchan reminds me when a elite kid goes to Harvard and realizes they're a dime a dozen. Although exaggerated, being on top of everything your whole life and suddenly becoming nothing special really hits the pride and ego hard. Looks like he'll break down that hurdle thru the power of rivalry though lol.

Next, the villian appears! Man I hope there's a second season.

Though he doesn't have to be goody goody with others. He just needed to tone down his douchebaggery a little then he'd be fine. No need to be a villain imo.

This was a fine episode.

First part was fast which was a logic way to end things about the training and we got some new character introduction, which was nicely done.

Second half was more interesting, we have a new Deku-Bakugo moment and villains entering the story.

Watching this to me is like watching the original Naruto series, there are some similar ideas and it looks like we have a new promising shonen series.

This series has such a charm that even episodes in which there isn't that much going on like this one are very enjoyable. One thing that I liked quite a bit is the fact that Bakugo felt outclassed by someone else other than just being beaten by Deku,
Also, I say it every week but the ost is topnotch stuff.
5 main aspects I base my ratings on:
1. Did DramaEnthusiast make a thread about it?
2. Is it better than Breaking Bad?
3. Did MellowJello recommend the shit out of it?
4. Has it caused a (very entertaining) shitstorm on MAL?
5. Is it actually good?

Scratch the fifth point, it's not very relevant...

Kacchan got a nice character development this week! It's nice to see that he really isn't just a spoiled kid who absolutely won't bow down to others, but actually able to tell his own weakness. But seriously, that ice kid is seriously insane.

(It'll be even nicer if Kacchan tried to be less neurotic though, lol. Just watching him always contort his face make me exhausted)

Deku really told him about his little secret haha, I wonder how will All Might repond to that decision

Nice episode, the issues between Deku and Kacchan are being handled well. Seeing the flashbacl from both of there perspectives is a nice touch imo. Todoroki is pretty OP, wish we got to see a little more of Tokoyami but this wasn't a bad introduction to his ability. I like All Might's concern over Kacchan as well. They're really bringing the feels out through the anime. Very nice teaser of the villains at the end of the episode.

Other students are just as wrong as Bakugo is when he says Deku can't be a hero.
Repeating what KonoYume said, having a bad personality is not the same thing as being a villain.
Bakugo won't become a good person anytime soon, but he isn't a villain either.
Despite what it looks like right now, BnHA isn't a completely Black&White story about perfect heroes defeating evil scum. Many heroes act like actual people with flaws.
Maybe you will entertain the thought of Bakugo as a hero more once you see how Endeavor(Hero #2) is as a person.

What did that have to do with anything? Edit: Misread it at first. But, no, they're not wrong at that point. Bakugo wasn't wrong either. When he was without a quirk, Midoriya could not be a hero in the sense that he wanted. The fact that he got one later doesn't change that fact. In the same sense, if Bakugo fixes his shit later, that doesn't make the other students reaction to him during the class wrong when it happened.

Yeah, sure, a bad personality doesn't equate to being a villain. -Acting- like a villain does. Bakugo acts like a villain. I will entertain the thought of Bakugo as a hero when he starts acting like it, which may or may not happen.

Only 1 chapter adapted this episode huh.
I can remember someone on reddit predicting this
If they adapt 2 chapters per episode from this point, the anime should have adapted a total of about 21 chapters.

Todoroki is badass. Really wish there was more than just 13 episodes ;-;
Anyway, good episode. Enjoyed the little bit at the end with Midoriya and Bakugou :D

Izuku probably wouldn't have been as cool or effective as he is after getting a quirk, but he still would have made a good hero like, say, Mumen Rider.
As for fixing his shit later, I will yet again say that a character can be awful as a person and yet be a hero. I agree that Bakugo's behavior is not hero-like, but then Luffy's behavior isn't pirate-like either. In BnHA world, heroes aren't as heroic as heroes are usually supposed to be but I really don't wanna spoil anything so I will refrain from continuing this argument any further.

I don't think Bakugo acts like a villain. He just has a bad temper and doesn't think twice about bullying. Neither of these are good qualities but aren't really villainous either. Harry's dad was also a bully and I doubt one would call him a villain.

Bakugo swore he's just getting started, which is just the title drop for the episode. It's nice seeing some character development in him. I can see why he wouldn't believe Izuku. Who would believe that he had borrowed someone's Quirk? Oh well, it did led to Izuku's declaration.

Anyways, it's nice to see that people are starting to admire Izuku! I also find it nice for this episode to show some of the class' Quirks and personalities. The people who got recommended are really strong. I look forward to hearing more from them, though by how these shonen anime work I can say that they'll have at least a huge supporting role... Or at least those who were seen here.

kacchan is still the same fucking kid he was since the start of the show

Like seriously , he lost a fight then his elite world shatterd on his head after seeing that there is some people who are stronger than him out there

I'm glad he's gone ( hopefully he'll come back as a fucking villian )
Also deku need to stop trying to justify what he is doing to that brat kid , there was no reason for him to follow kacchan and explain to him .
Not a bad episode but kinda slow 3/5
