My Hero Academia: Season 5 |OT| We Are Deku
- Thread starter Tace
- Start date
- Anime/Manga OT
Y'know, I went into this arc with low expectations but I think I'm gonna find it fun.
I enjoy seeing the way characters work together as well as new powers via Class B
And I also was not expecting that sudden burst of animation quality here.

So uh... will we ever figure out who the mole/snitch is at UA? Really letting that plot line linger aren't they?
If I had to guess it'd be Aizawa as hes always in the places Class A gets attacked. And I'm sure he would tell them about Recovery girl so the time's he IS injured by the League of villains they make sure not to outright kill him.
but also him being the mole is too similar to Professor Snape. I originally thought it was going to be the Principal, but there's a scene where he was thinking to himself and he was definitely on the students' side.
I just hope it's someone substantial and not like...idk... Monoma or some character we've heard talk once before.

it cant be him, he had the option of letting medoria die at the end of the overhaul arc and didnt.
Oh yeah that's right... Maybe the League of Villains/AFO want to capture him instead of outright killing him?
didnt they hint that it could be a student too?
Hopefully it's Mineta so they can beat the crap out of him.
More seriously, I guess I could see it be Can't Stop Twinkling, but I'd be really sad if it was him.
On rewatch, this episode is still really nice. Felt like it had a pulse for once and this is one of the lesser fights in the arc. Tomo Okubo didn't work as much on season 4 as she did the other seasons but seeing this makes me hope they got her doing more directing work this season
I actually felt very bored watching this episode. Felt like the episode wouldn't end... felt like I was watching a episode of Dragonball Super Trash. I love MHA but damn I couldn't care less about any of these Class B people. Some of their quirks are cool but there just had to be a better way to showcase them than some stupid competition.
I mentioned this was the "lesser" fight in the arc and that's because it features the less notable members of class-B, and honestly Class-A since as we can see the last three fights have the main characters in them (Tsuyu fans in shambles or whatever). It's partly why a lot of us are surprised the episode was animated so well. Hopefully the next few fights will be even more exciting.
This was fun. Arc feels like it's getting elevated a lot by the adaptation in terms of direction and audio choices - they're playing class B like villains here with the soundtrack and it's working for me.
Pretty sure that was clear when all she did on the Overhaul raid was literally just "she is there", like what was even the point
the plan is good, her team is awful, is basically just her and Tokoyami
you need to understand that some character will get more focus than others in each arc
Kirishima got focus in the overhaul arc, doenst mean he is a main character now, he was quickly pushed aside to put focus to kaminari, shinso and tsuyu
same thing in season 3, kirishima did nothing in the camp while tsuyu fought, but she wasnt in the rescue while he was
It doesnt make one a main character or not, both arent main characters.
Honestly it is just recency bias really
To be honest the Overhaul raid was Horikoshi not knowing what to do with his female characters, like the only thing the 4 of them did was distract a guy long enough for him to become Overhaul final power-up which it is jarring as their male counterparts (Kirishima, Tamaki and Fat Gum) got the spotlight and big moments

I definitely think he was lost in what he wanted to do with them, he clearly set them up to do something but in the end didnt
All Might: "This arc is like dress rehearsal of the real thing for the students. 🥲"
Hmph.
I actually kinda like the guy who fought Toko tho.

He still says Vantablack in the voiceover. The subs are just being stupid.
It's actually an issue of the name Vantablack being copyrighted.
Which would be a problem if they were making a paint or describing the color of a product, but I don't think the trademark applies to the term when used as the name of a fictional superhero, lol.
I suppose it's better safe than sorry, but it's a little eye-rolling when you can hear the man say Vantablack.
The backgrounds in this show are really boring and uninspiring, just as with the Overhaul arc, all gray and generic. Also, that cgi scene doesn't impress me that much tbh... Not trying to be negative but I don't see that big of an improvement so far when it comes to animation either, still prefer earlier seasons. I really liked some scenes from the episode before this one though. I hope the setting gets more interesting.
dude you should rewatch the earlier season then, it usually only hit this level of animation in bigger fights
and the backgrounds in this episode were amazing, kyushu at night was perfect
Guess we'll just have to disagree on this one, as I don't see this anywhere near some amazing fights that we have before tbh.
Also can't agree about the backgrounds being amazing.
It is on the simple things really
like see how well they animate Kuroiro merging into and unmerging from things compared to how they animated Mirio doing the same thing.
There is also a lot of character animation
Not feeling this season at all so far. The untimely exposition dumps, the uneven animation, the slow paced story, etc.
And these random butt shots are fucking weird.

Yeah, at this pace we're gonna get 2-3 episode per team fight, so we're not getting anywhere. They really need to pick up this pacing.
If this season is all about this weird "tournament"... yikes.

Saw that. More or less confirms that they're adapting three arcs this season (Joint Training plus the two arcs after it)
It really sucks that the story's written another repeat of a class tournament except with absolutely no stakes and it only exists to show off new moves the students learned offscreen.
So we're getting like 8-10 episodes of this tired stuff unless the bad guys interrupt it (again).
Feels like these episodes are going to be best watched with the fastforward button like that horrendous school festival arc was. It's a shame because the second movie was pretty great.

it happens because it is a primetime TV show, so people that never watched the series can somewhat understand what happens
