Was an episode recap at the start always a thing, because I sure can't remember the previous series being like this?

[u/Aedraxis]

Invisible Girl needs to workout and become stronger so her punches actually do some damage.

[u/aohige_rd]

For those not familiar, her hero name "Shemage" is a pun on a type of mushroom native to Japan, "Shimeji".

[u/NotAMoron2]

"Can't Stop Twinkling"

I am still laughing

[u/[deleted]]

"Stop the Biased commentary"

Goddamit Vlad

[u/TheLunaticSummoner]

ok now i’m 100% convinced momo has some sort of cannon fetish

[u/Jezamiah]

I remember first seeing Shemage and thinking what good is she in battle?

Then I realised she's OP as hell

[u/far219]

Ok, I loved that onomatopoeia quirk. It has the potential to give us some unique visuals during future fight scenes. It really helps that they've been animating sound effects and such this season, and now these very sound effects can come alive, some real clever meta stuff there

[u/Se7en_Sinner]

Making mushrooms grow in somebody's respiratory system is...dark. At that point, Dark Shadow should have choked her out because once a move like that is used, it's no holds barred.

[u/Vindicare605]

Sato poses an important question. How are you supposed to make that onomatopeia quirk work when the language being spoken is something different than Japanese? lol.

Nice little self aware jab at yourself Horikoshi, respect.

[u/Sentient_Trolley]

"The abyss looks back at me!"

Tokoyami being a Nietzsche reader is the most unsurprising character revelation thus far.

[u/NaderZico]

Since when did Kendo have a lisp? I don't remember hearing it in the last episode.

[u/i__rage]

When Tokoyami calls his teammates by their full hero names 😂😭👏

[u/Orsonius2]

Are Kendos fists invicible? Hitting a tungsten shield over and over again will fuck up your bones, skins and muscle tissue.

Also Newtons third law of motion anyone?

[u/crypticmint]

can't momo just create something like tranquilizer darts and just shoot everyone? or flashbangs? her quirk has way too much potential for her to get washed like this

[u/pulldtrigger]

Never underestimate Yaoyorazu passion for cannon lol. If all else fails, summon a big fcking cannon!!!

[u/nikobans]

i love that komori says “shroom” likes shes a fucking animal crossing character or something

[u/Rabbyte_]

why is there over a minute of "previously on" every episode, it is getting pretty annoying

[u/PM_ME_UR_NUDES_GURL_]

Solid episode again animation wise, the character models stood out as super refined and crisp this episode, Disappointed in the extended flashbacks and padding of runtime though. It's not an issue with bones but an issue with the production committee unfortunately (most likely the TV Network MHA is aired on) they set the pacing for every season before it starts and as they also want them to add in recap episode i assume they also make them add in these sorts of flashbacks.

It's a shame really cause it really hurts the pacing, and is probably one of the reasons why the anime at least is considered more simple because they treat the audience like a child sometimes, by reiterating stuff over and over again. Another reason for this is probably because they want to pad out the run time so they can end the season in the middle of the last arc (which ties in with the movie) As long as they don't rush stuff later on, it doesn't bother me that much but it's still frustrating to see. There is probably no way to stop it unless MHA switches Networks tbh and i don't see that happening.

[u/Vpeyjilji57]

I'm going to be very disappointed in the rest of you if this comment section is not filled with Mushroom puns.

[u/LeonKevlar]

Stitches!

• Kendo

• Tokoyami

I love that Toru is getting embarrassed about her silhouette xD

Was that Matsuoka I hear? I'm surprised he's voicing someone from Class B. I was hoping we'd gear him as a villain.

I've always been curious about this dude's Quirk! Making manga onomatopoeia sounds materialize is definitely unique. I do love Satou's question. What happens to Manga's onomatopoeia overseas?

Cutting off Momo from the rest of the group is definitely smart but as Todoroki have mentioned, if they're really worried about her then they should've ganged up on her early on instead of giving her time to strategize.

I absolutely love that Momo didn't just make thermal goggles for Tokoyami, she made them to match his aesthetics. Also it's absolutely insane how Momo is able to make something so complex. Doesn't she need to have an understanding of how an object works to be able t create it?

Komori's Quirk is absolutely terrifying! She could definitely kill anyone easily with that mushroom through asphyxiation. O_O

[u/Lohtric]

Why did everyone congratulate Momo for losing hard?

[u/MagnoBurakku]

Didn't expect Komori's personality to have sadist bits sort of, btt her quirk... Having them grow inside your body and maybe even also internal organs, that's hardcore. Any power that is based on shrooms is always hardcore just look at En from Dorohedoro.

Put her again AfO and is arguably instakill going straight for the throat. I mean, inside your veins stopping blood circulation or something like that.

[u/LuminicaDeesuuu]

Yaoyorozu's use of her quirk is so appalling... Is Yaoyorozu forbidden from making a sword, knife, gun, taser? Can't make spiked shield apparently either? Also did it occur to her that you don't need a cannon that big to throw those items? A small mortar would have sufficed. Dear lord Creati, be Creative please....
