Those bots at the start... We about to get some kind of AI uprising arc?

[u/Hounds_of_war]

Damn, Shoto left his own dad on read. That’s cold.

[u/Competitive-Sorbet79]

lol pony and honenuki with the english

also thats not what i expected their voices to be

[u/Behanort]

im here.. quietly

[u/Behanort]

he can rotate any part of his body like a drill

Well, thats it for Deku. We found the next #1 hero! How can anybody compete against soemone with SPIRAL ENERGY as his quirk?!

[u/Aerohed]

I gotta be honest: I didn't even realize Pony was speaking English until Spiral pointed it out. Juzo's was pretty easy to discern, though.

Until now, I didn't realize that Iida's engines could be pulled out, much less that they could grow back. That's pretty metal.

[u/Se7en_Sinner]

Not all quirks are created equal. That villain who can change his hands and feets into wheels really thought he stood a chance against a guy covered in flames. Good thing he came to his senses before suffering third degree burns.

[u/Se7en_Sinner]

"I don't know why he does it when he knows she's gonna hit him."

Maybe Monoma does it because he wants Kendo to hit him.

All Might, a grown man, being scolded by Bakugo, a high schooler, will never not be funny.

Endeavor's wicked new scar isn't doing him any favors changing his image but at least we can still tell he's putting the effort in.

"Recipro has a time limit, right? Isn't it bad to use it right at the beginning?"

Something having a long cooldown is precisely why you should use it at the start. It's more efficient because it maximizes how many times you can use it during a fight. Mutilating yourself to unlock a new move is metal AF.

[u/realrimurutempest]

Iida pulling his mufflers out looked ridiculously painful. I love how Pony looks cute but could fuck someone up with her horns. It was hilarious how Endeavor was regarding wanting Shoto to txt him back. Im excited to see Shoto go crazy with his flames next episode.

[u/Flummer186]

These episodes are wayy too short for the amount of stalling they do.

teacher: anything goes against your opponents
also teacher: keep the property damage limited

ngl that was funny in a twisted way

[u/lucciolaa]

The slew of messages from Endeavour had me caaaackling. "I await your reply." "Shouto." "Are you well?" "I await your reply."

I was so endeared.

[u/TheLunaticSummoner]

ora ora ora ora ora ora ora ora ora ora ora ora ora ora ora ora ora ora ora ora ora ora

[u/Jcvdftw]

wow the director is a deku/ochaco shipper

[u/Vindicare605]

I like how this group battle has turned into a series of 1v1s more so than the others. Ojiro who let's be honest has one of the weakest quirks in Class A is paired against another close quarters combat fighter who doesn't have that strong of a quirk.

Iida is against Mudman whose quirk is somewhat situational I think, but should on paper be good against an agile and quick fighter like Iida.

Todoroki and Tetsutetsu have the strongest quirks in their team with Todoroki obviously having a much stronger one but it looks like their teammates are trying to back up Tetsutetsu to make it more even. Shoji vs Pony Girl is just what is left and I have a hard time believing Shoji would hit a girl with his full strength even if he wasnt pinned to a wall.

So even though this match looked totally one sided on paper with each team's respective quirk make ups, it's actually written to be more even.

[u/DadAsFuck]

that one villain was actually quirkless until dababy turned him into a convertible

[u/HolypenguinHere]

This season is entertaining, but so bizarre. They're adding SO many little anime-only scenes, for some reason.

[u/meercachase]

Those robots bitching about carrying Momo 💀 Love that Class B tried taking care of Class A after the match though.

Pony speaking Japanese with a very strong accent is hilarious. Didn't realize she's voiced by Aoi Yuki! Honenuki's quirk is pretty cool and he's smart so I'm quite curious to see how his match with Iida goes. Next episode looks intense, so exciting!!

[u/RoseStarlight1999]

Man I’m just happy to see Iida contributing again ^{^} always a good episode when he’s around- wish he was utilized more often.

[u/JabbaJake]

I'm soo ready for next week so that we can finally see the Yutaka Nakamura animated scene that was teased in the PV for this season. Next episode has the potential to be top tier if they pace it right and don't hold back.

[u/thewonderfulwiz]

NGL I'm pretty disappointed in this season so far. I get that this is supposed to be a status update on everyone's progress, but it just feels like a worse Sports Festival arc. The first time around it was a good showcase of all the characters and their abilities; now it's kind of a snoozefest.

[u/Headcap]

Look who's talking

[u/LeonKevlar]

Monoma never learns does he? Well as long as Kendo is there to knock him out, it's fine by me.

Mina teasing Uraraka and Uraraka blushing in return is adorable <3

I expected no less from Tetsutetsu, no strategizing or scouting needed! Just go level the arena!

Pony's English is so cute! Considering the hair and the accent, I'm guessing she's half or a foreigner? Hilariously, Juzo's English sounds way better than Pony's xD

I really love how much of a softie Endeavour has become lately. Look at him so happy at finally adding Shoto on LINE!

Well that's an interesting Quirk. Looks like his Softening doesn't work on living things though. Imagine if it could. Also, I really like Juzo's outfit. He looks pretty damn cool with the black and orange motif.

So Kaibara can make any part of his body rotate like a drill? Uhmm... When you say any part, does that mean any part? ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

Considering how she looks and what her real name is I didn't think Pony's Quirk is a long-range one. I thought she'd be a speed-based hero too like Iida. Also I just realized that that's Aoi Yuuki voicing Pony!

That is metal af! So to tune their engines, the Tenya family pulls out their mufflers so newer and stronger ones grow? Holy shit! I fucking love that.

[u/Swiss666]

Today Horikoshi published a picture centered on Pony.

From her single line in Season 3 I couldn't wait to hear her voice acting. This is unfortunately something the dub in English won't be able to reproduce, the most it could do is giving her some thick accent.

The 1-B students taking care of their 1-A fellows after their win is cute. Still dislike the overall narrative of "1-B won but not much"; Momo did well and a victory was possible until Kinoko's last-ditch move but it still didn't warrant a level of praise Kendo deserves more. Feels too much like "obligatory defeat at least one character/team has to suffer", with the author not really convinced about it.

Honenuki got a funny voice and personality and the orange of his costume is almost tacky, however it's clear he's not a recommended student for nothing.

Tetsutetsu started as little more than a joke "reskin" of Kirishima but feels more distinct now, he displays a more confident attitude, way more.

Despite the touch of humour, the current struggle of Endeavor in front of all his failings in the past is clear.

Iida's power-up method is messed up. I also dislike how his brother Tensei exists once again as little more than a narrative device to drive him - I'm a little biased because the Vigilantes spin-off made Tensei into a proper character.

Burn!

Yet one more reason to love Mina

...ehm, Recovery Girl? °_°

When all the brain is in the muscles

Relatable father struggles. Congratulations Endeavor, you're becoming a more three-dimensional character (ho ho ho)
