There's something I want to add which I just realized. The little kid in this episode is pretty much a copy paste of the kid in episode 10 of Naruto. I knew I recognized that behavior. Anyway, I doubt it's intentional though, having a kid hating on heroes because their parents were killed by villains isn't really something uncommon to see in anime.
But,the thing is how you develop the character after that. The concept of heroes is common and cliche too ,but the way the characters develop and how the plot keeps evolving,is what keeps you interested into looking forward to the next episodes

This episode was great, as usual.
But one thing that's eating away at me is that in a world where superpowers (or quirks) are the norm it's only natural for there to be good guys and bad guys utilising said superpowers; this got me thinking, "what is the purpose of the league of villains for this world to make them impactful for the anime?"
'Cause right now it just seems like bad guys being bad, and the only thing I've heard otherwise is that villain, "Dabi," saying something along the lines of cleaning the world of fakes [superheroes]; of which -in general circumstances- would be a great theme, but when it's the norm for people to have these "quirks," how can you judge who is fake or not. Because, if anything, Midoriya could just be really passionate.

Well, other than that I didn't like the fact that not everyone was tested in the same way -a shame, really!
I'd have liked to see their improvements, however minuscule it was

I initially thought Kota was related to Stain; I don't know why, it was something to do with the hat and eyes, I think?!

Lol😂😂😭, Mineta though; so close, yet so far - to be fair, even Kota was getting a bit hormonal. Just don't pee your self next time.

The one thing that stood out for me though, is that the distribution of each characters part was quite fair and the m-mc didn't hog the show time like what would usually happen
Well, I mean, only a small portion of people actually become Heroes. UA only has 40 students a year and they are the best of the best

The creator of Naruto spoke quite highly of MHA so maybe he wrote this chapter as an homage?

Mineta is forced comic relief character, and its so lame. This series has some good fights but really, I just can't get into this kiddy shit anymore, and the black and white good vs bad doesn't help, this is also why I don't like those super hero series like flash, super girl etc.

3/5 wasn't a bad episode tho, just bang average.


Uhh, what? Black and White? Good vs Evil?

Stain should have disabused you of that.

The extra content sucks donkey balls. Episode 19 of Season 2 and OVA2 are the same. Fanservice and fillers are cancer of the anime industry. But apparently you don't mind and are entertained by that shit.


It's not my favourite, but I like the show. It's a slight buzzkill when you're expectant of the story if you've read the manga, but it's still enjoyable content. When I rewatch/binge the seasons in the future, I'll enjoy re-seeing the pool stuff. I'm not going to dramatically complain about extra content, especially since we got original scenes out of it. With that said, it was nice to finally get into the main story too. I just don't see why people treat the first episode like it's a federal crime, just don't watch it if you see it's a recap and not to your liking. It's not that much of a big deal.


I'd been anticipating the show being back for 6 months and set up a marathon to lead me into season 3. I was really really excited, my hype was PLUS ULTRA and then we got something that, while probably the best recap episode I can imagine, still belongs on an OVA.

I was personally disappointed, though I'm not going to rant about it, but I was there on Crunchyroll and as I'd heard there would be anime original content I kept waiting to see the "Good stuff" but other than the (fucking hilarious) scene where Todoroki, Deku and Bakugo get shut down by Aizawa and the stinger it felt like a waste and I was personally kind of sad.

This episode was great though :)

Eh.. what are you talking about? You can't compare the general concept of heroes with a character's cliché behavior and backstory. I was just pointing out that this kid is the same as other anime kids we've seen before, whether he develops further than that isn't relevant as his backstory is the entire point of his existence as a character. He's just there so Deku can motivate him and show that a hero can succeed. Just like in Naruto. Once he does, I bet we'll never see the kid again.
It's only a passing thing, this shadow. Even darkness must pass. A new day will come. And when the sun shines it will shine out the clearer.

This episode was soo much better than the first one!!! It's not like the first one wasn't good but this one was incomparable to the 1st one xD

I think that maybe there is a traitor in UA high ranks, or the villains have some with an ability that can tell them the info they want.

Can't believe i forgot about that moment where that guy asked Uraraka if she liked Midoriya xD And it seems that she also forgot about that moment hahaha
Really great episode, it had a little of everything. I'm actually surprised that they acted like a team and fought together against those monsters, good job guys.

Poor Midoriya :(
Oh and that Mineta's part was hilarious hahaha

That ending! wow! In moments like these, you can see how more advanced the teachers are, compared to the students. He knew that their quirks haven't evolved that much. So, i can't wait to see their training, and also what the villains have prepared.

I love how the first thing we hear out of Bakugou in this episode is him screaming, "Die!" 😂

Uraraka is too precious. I would love some more romance development, but I also know that this is an action-battle shounen :P Well at least it seems like it'll happen before it's all over :)

I'm interested to see how Kota ends up appreciating heroes, and hopefully wanting to become a hero himself. Maybe he'll even manifest his own quirk? Or maybe he already has one, but refuses to use it haha. We'll see!

I always wonder why thunder-guy (zapping one) doesn't have some magneto helmet to stop shocking himself. Yes I know that in the forest he was in his casual clothes, but earlier he had his hero suit (more like protohero suit) and it still occured.

Kota was in heaven for seconds. :D Lucky guy.

RIP Deku ballz.

sooo tired of Mineta and his annoying "pervert" trope, absolutely trash character. he has no purpose aside from "humor" aspect, which i don't even find that funny since that trope has been overused 1000 times in shounen

i do love training episodes of shounen anime though, so this is exciting for me. but honestly nothing really interesting happened yet, i hope this doesn't turn into a typical boring shounen that continues forever with no consequences or anything meaningful

I really can't wait for this training camp! I'm really excited to see what they'll do next! I'm also really excited to see how Uraraka and Deku will develop as this season goes on, I ship them lmao.

One thing that really annoyed me this episode was how much of an idiot Mineta is. I liked the part where the little kid (I already forgot his name, damn) shows him his place. I liked it a lot. (It was also really funny to see him fall down as well and faint, poor thing)

Speaking of the little kid, his introduction with the whole punching Deku in the balls thingy made me feel really bad for Deku lmao, poor dude. I'm looking forward to seeing more of the kid!

Ugh, this thing with kid hating X, because he lost his parents because of that is one of the most overused shounen cliches ever >_< I hope it won't take too much of the screentime, to convince him that heroes are cool and they do the right thing.

The training camp has begun, It's nice to see some classic scenes like when class A students fought together as a team or when Mineta was trying to peek at the girls.

Kota's attitude is annoying but the reason for that makes it acceptable. Quite an interesting character I must say...

Well for fuck's sake, they should've just made this Episode 1. The episode before this was completely unnecessary and did NOTHING to sate my appetite for the new season. By episode 2 I think we're back on the right track. Quirk training means we'll see more development from many of the characters. Koda is really mysterious and I'm sure that he's going to reveal himself as some sort of secret prodigy in the near future.

Also I really like the Wild Wild Pussycats but I'm sure I speak for most of us on that.

What I liked about the 2nd season was that we got to see more of Shigaraki and we're seeing more of him again.


The girls class B are pretty cute too and Mineta definitely agrees. LOL at Monoma being salty as fuck, his quirk is so awesome but he's such a bottom.


Pixie Bob is sensitive about her age but she has an awesome quirk. That little kid with them, Kota, looks adorable even though he's all pouty and frowning all the time especially with his cute hat. Yes, even after punching Deku's dicku otherwise we wouldn't have gotten that awesome reaction from Iida-kun afterwards.


Kota-kun did a good job smacking down Mineta but got all flustered after seeing the girls and their thicc bodies.


Poor Kota. :( No wonder he doesn't like heroes.


Finally, it's time to improve their quirks. I'm excited to see what happens.

If Deku did that baseball throwing test they would have seen how much he's improved. He has better control of his powers now and can use it without damaging his body. Anyway, this one is mostly on the funny side looks like the next one's gonna be more serious.

That was way more action as in the first episode. There hasn't anything changed at all, that guy from class b is absolute same as in season 2 :D

So we saw new characters with the Pussycats and that kid Kota. When they showed up I had a feeling the training camp already begun. It's crazy that all of those magical beasts came just from Pixie bobs ability.

Fucking Mineta again wanted to see the girls. Good thing Kota stopped him even if he was totally overwhelmed by himself when he saw the girls naked :D

Must be hard for Kota to lose his parents that early. It's reasonable that he doesn't like heros.

I was a little bit shocked that Bakugo toss was this short. I wonder what Aizawa is up to. This will be a hella training.

Seems like the villains are also ready to make their move.

Bakugo's "bonding" moment with Kota, Mineta getting his comeuppance (twice), the introduction of the Pussycats!

Quite the troll move of Aizawa to single out Bakugo at the end there. He probably wanted to pick the guy people would expect to improve the most.

I loooove the new ending. It's got a cute slice-of-life vibe to it :) <3
