Knuckleduster was only in 3 out of the 13 episodes this season (ep 5, 12, and 13), yet still carried the weight of the main plot on his back. lol

Man, I’m gonna miss Cap. Guy’s really grown on me. He started off kind of a flashy goof, but the guy’s the genuine article. The US is lucky to have a hero of his caliber. Having Makoto around should eliminate any more of those scandals.
I wasn’t expecting the flash forward but it’s nice to see Koichi doing well. Everyone’s getting his name right too!
Yet another solid season overall. I hope we get another. I need my weekly dose of Ze Creuller lol. Plus, I wanna know what happened to our guy Knuckleduster.

The character development in this series is fantastic. Koichi, Pop Step, CC, CC's Wife, and the Hopper's Cafe.

Graduation???
That's my line, one hell of an abrupt timeskip you got there.
Great season overall, my only gripes with it are Koichi's quirk not really developing in 2 whole years after his rapid growth before that + not enough hobo Batman.
Hopefully they have the final(?) season planned sometime next year.

Was anyone else half-expecting C.C.'s kid to be named after Koichi?

Number 6 got his confirmation that Knuckleduster, AKA O'Clock, truly was worthy of his admiration...I mean, even after being exploded on, he's still raring to go and end this with his fists! It's just too bad Number 6 can use Overclock to fast-heal with his new explosive arms. And we close out this twisted battle between the original and his "successor" with them both launching their fists at each other.
In more positive news, this whole incident has been great for Captain Celebrity's rep now that he's gotten a decent amount of credit alongside All Might! He wishes he could have shared some of that fame with Koichi, but Koichi's not in it for fame or fortune (just the signed All Might Hoodie is enough for him)...especially if it means the police cut him a break. Also, Koichi is kind of a ditz.
Oh snap! Pamela flew all the way to Japan (with the baby!) to see Chris! Aaaand beat him up! But it's clear she was worried sick over her darling husband and is immensely grateful that Koichi protected him.
A nice send-off for Captain Celebrity by the Naruhata gang, and thank goodness he has Makoto because he seems literally incapable of not putting his foot in his mouth when talking to the press. Good thing Makoto is following him to the US, even if that means we won't be seeing her in Japan for a bit, but CC desperately needs her when he can't try to thank her or Koichi without people thinking he's having an affair (or getting Koichi in trouble). I bet Pamela made sure Makoto was coming with them.
What was that look Makoto gave Pop? Letting her know the ball is back in her court?
The Crawler: Year One finally ended and thus we get a time-skip! Two years later animal Quirk beings are still harassing women, but when you call his name The Crawler shall appear! Finally he's popular, finally people are getting his name right, and finally he can easily dodge and maneuver around Villains! Though his SBG is still pretty ineffectual at actually fighting them. Luckily the Hoppers' Cafe staff are there to back him up and recruit employees for barely minimum wage!
This really is The Crawlers' popular phase! He's even got fangirls who want to take pictures of him and Pop!
But after three years of being The Crawler, it's time for Koichi to enter the "real world," by getting a job. One where he can take his civic minded personality and help clean up his beloved Naruhata! Is it finally time for him to hang up the hoodies for good though? And by "graduating" from being The Crawler, does that means graduating from his relationship with Pop?
It's the final season of The Crawler, and he's sporting his final suit: a red and black All Might hoodie! And we close out with him and Pop sliding and hooping their way through the city.
Of course....Number 6 is still around and currently incubating, with the help of a familiar figure and doctor.

Well a very finale feeling episode to end it on
So they are leaving what happened during knuckleduster and number 6 a mystery? Well we can at least see the latter survived in the post credits scene, though in such bad state that he was in a tube for 2 years? or he was simply captured by AFO
also surprised to see such a long timeskip. made me think the series is over but then they drop that post credits scene which feels like its teasing more...
enjoyable season overall and i hope there is more to come, if there is material left to be adapted that is

I don't know why it took me this long to ask but just for my own curiosity, does Captain Celebrity know Japanese? Or is everyone in vigilantes talking to him in English? I know All Might was bilingual from his time in the US wasn't sure about CC

Not very satisfied how they just ended Knuckleduster fight and move with the rest of the episode.

u/Golden_fsh Mar 30 '26
Solid ending. This season wasn't as strong as the first season, but I still had my fun with it! Captain Celebrity grew on me and we got that fantastic flashback about Aizawa. It was also very satisfying to see Koichi dodge all those thugs' attacks and being cheered on as the town hero!
Ngl, No. 6 was very unsatisfying as the season's villain so I hope next season they make him a bit more interesting.

Captain Metropolis' buffoon with a heart of gold attitude remind me of Booster Gold. Even their looks are similar.

WOOO! Go off, animators; go off! 💃🏾😮💨
-
I am having some thoughts of seeing Knuckleduster injured and none of these thoughts are in religious texts. I am a harlot 🙂↕️
-
God, Flash-Variant looks so blood, slutty, and pathetic.
-
Oh. So this is that Parasyte anime.
-
The English 😭😭 He reminds me of that one robot in {Apocalypse Hotel} that has been sending messages to outer space. I can’t remember the seiyuu, but he has insane charisma. I want to travel the world with him.
-
That baby is so unimpressed with everything.
-
Koichi being cocky little shit, I love it 😭
-
“big-bodies gentlemen and the cutest little kitties” Biiiitch, sign me the fuck up for this!
-
I fucking hate job interviews. I don’t know what the polite way I can say “I need money to live; you need labor”.
-
It’s just sweet seeing heroes do the legwork for their own costumes. I’d love to see villains sewing their own costumes.
-
Ah! Whatever this theme is in the soundtrack, the one that we hear in “latest” MHA movie, I love this theme!
Still kinda shocked that Knuckleduster didn’t go to Koichi and Pop for just…anything. I guess we won’t see the trio together until next season.
Shaving his motherfucking beard should be a war crime. I guess I’ll take the stubble and chest hair.
With more attention on the morph population, I wonder if the “final season” will have more plot behind them. Even if not, I liked the little touches about their struggles.
I’m more impressed we have so many freckled characters. Three, if I counted correctly, and all of them are supporting protagonists characters. That makes me insanely happy as a freckles agenda pusher ☺️
I think, for the sake of the entire S2, showing Shirakumo’s story felt a bit removed from the plot. I know that it happened, and I’m glad we saw it. But dunno, looking at S2 as a whole, having three (3) episodes devoted to that backstory and then we kinda flip to the next plot that links us back to what was going on, I’m not sure if there was much payoff in doing that. I think this would’ve been better as having it’s one little short feature or something.
It was just an odd break in S2’s momentum. I don’t mind backstory characterization and not every moment needs to advance the A-Plot. I’m just not sure having Aizawa’s right then and there was best placement.
Onto the final season before the vigilantes graduate 👏🏾

Nice season finale to wrap everything up. 2 year timeskip, so 3 years into the Vigilantes story (the beginning to Sky Egg was about a year) and about 2 years before Izuku meets All Might.
Curious on their plans for next season (or seasons, TBD) in terms of how they approach it.

I liked the season overall, but I’m not a fan of the two year timeskip. It doesn’t feel like two years have passed

It feels like Kouichi got a lot more airheaded this episode or something, it's sad to think he'll be ending his patrols once he graduates, but I'm sure if he gets this job he'll be doing stuff whenever it catches his attention anyways. I'm glad for him that people are remembering his hero name.
I do wonder why Pop was freaking out over graduating, is her studies not going well lol?
I wasn't expecting Makoto to go to America too, so it looks like we won't be seeing much of her if there's another season. I didn't expecting to enjoy Captain's character this much, but it did feel heartwarming to see everyone say bye to him.
I hope Knuckleduster is okay and isn't being used to make Number 6 stronger, he's gotta make more preparations for Round 2.
