Yeah as bummed as I am about the pacing of it all that cut - along with a few of the others where they'd actually let the characters loving fight each other for more than a couple of frames - was rad as poo poo. Deku blasting Overhaul out of his JRPG Final Boss form would have been a stand-up-and-cheer moment if I had just liked the buildup more.

As someone that didn't like the Overhaul arc at all in the manga, I appreciate that they got through it in a timely manner and am happy with the way the arc worked out. Initially I was worried it would take them like 20 episodes to get to this point just based on the amount of chapters they adapted per episode in previous seasons. I think someone hit the nail on the head earlier when they pointed out that it feels both too short and too long. They kind of spend a good amount of time setting it up, but then have to speed through things in order to wrap it up because there's so many goddamn fights and it's too action heavy and it both feels like too much and too little. And even with some spectacular animation put in here and there, people find plenty of room to complain, since there's just way too much fighting that would require better and more extensive choreography and a lot of work. More than the lackluster and confusing story boarding and example of the manga could even provide a good outline for, since Horikoshi was doing badly health wise on top of his existing issues with complicated readable fights. I don't think they could've reasonably turned the turd that was the Overhaul arc into something amazing without a more loose adaptation or rewriting parts of it. It does have some strong moments, however. I don't really mind the flashback interruptions, but it's apparent that at this point in the manga they just wanted to wrap things up and fully establish what Overhauls deal was anyways before doing so.

I'm not sure how it played out in the manga, but I think it would have been better if the flashbacks explaining Overhaul's past and his reasoning for exploiting Eri were saved for next episode or something, to give us viewers something to on last bit of info to chew on before he's put out to pasture. Then they could use the free time to really go hog-wild on that fight. As it stands I still think it's the best episode of the season so far, but it isn't anywhere near the likes of Deku vs. Todoroki or All Might vs. All For One was.

At the very least, I'm glad that they were willing to experiment beyond "standard triumphant shounen" with the score. However, it's kind of a sudden thing to do that's obviously throwing everyone off, myself included.

I remember it being said that this whole arc feels like a shonen "filler" movie being adapted into the series proper. Makes me wonder if the arc can be edited into an actual movie and how that'd turn out.

The best thing about this is that we got a glimpse of what is at the end of the training for Deku. It was wonderful to see it in all of its DBZ super saiyan 2 form.

It's kind of funny that Nighteye somehow saw Deku lose this fight considering what an absolute murder-stomp it turned out to be. Vengeful God Deku is the scariest thing in the show so far.

Is Midoriya's super-strength just kind of accepted as having no upper limit by everyone now? Is there not going going to be anyone next episode who asks how Deku was able to kick the air so hard it exploded?

They already saw him do that kind of stuff back when he was breaking his bones with every use. Him being able to output that much power isn't all that surprising.

The people in Deku's life who aren't already in on the secret of One For All seem remarkably uncurious about the exact nature of his quirk. That journalist from earlier in the season and Todoroki are the only ones I remember prodding him about it at all since he entered UA.

TheKingslayer posted:So the music that plays right before Deku kicks up outta there is You Say Run with vocals right? Yep Also, the reason they used AfO's theme for Deku when he was beating the poo poo out Chisaki is because that's what All Might in his prime was for villains. As terrifying (more terrifying, in fact) than AfO when he showed up last season. That's why groups like the Hissaikai were torn down. That's why crime was steadily plummeting. Because that's what anyone who stepped a toe out of line had to contend with.

Uh, I though it was pretty obvious that the point is that Eri's rewinding, by its nature changing the flow of time, is a direct answer to Nighteye's determinism of "the timeline I see is unchangeable".

yeah nighteye's time vision probably doesn't see when time goes back the other way, even if it's just for one person edit: the simple act of Deku being alive now, though, gives hope that Nighteye's vision for All Might was from a timeline with a dead Deku, and now we're off-roading this mother

On the whole, I liked this episode a lot more than I thought I would. The only part that really gave me pause was that random insert song in the middle.Anshu posted:Maybe future-sight can't account for the effects of Eri's Rewinding quirk? Yeah, this is what I think it is, and it makes this feel even more like an undisputed victory for Eri specifically, more than anyone else.

The most recent episode made me cry. Eri is my new favorite and I hope she doesn't disappear after this arc. I do wish we'd gotten more from Uravity and Froppy's crew. It bothered me a lot that we had some great female characters around who... got to be unceremoniously shoved offscreen together for the majority of the arc. I was very excited when they showed up at the end of last episode, but then it didn't go anywhere.

It sucks because like someone posted a while back one of the big three didn't get their moment to shine and it wasn't either of the guys. I like the insert song and it surprised me that it was sung in english. Dr. Stone also had english insert songs and I'm wondering if there is reason for it.

  Was extremely satisfying seeing Deku with Dad Might's eyes Also drat kid, you scary - it only took you a few moments to figure out the basics of Eri's quirk and realize that using OfA at 100% could offset it - even if temporarily since Eri's was growing stronger the more use she used her Quirk Deku wins once again by destroying his body faster than it can be repaired!

On one hand, this arc is already pretty fight heavy and probably didn't need another big fight scene, but on the other hand, it sucks to see the girls sidelines like that. At least Toga got to be cool.

Now that I know her power it seems kinda lame, less creative than what the boys have, and also I'm not sure how effective it is? So she uses her life force to shoot laser spirals? Does that mean her power is slowly killing her? And the power she's getting out of it doesn't seem terribly effective against "a really big dude." I don't get it, what sets her apart from the normal students at UA and puts her on level with "horrifying shapeshifting chimera monstrosity" and "real life speedrunning glitches?" Really disappointing unless they give her a big show off fight later

According to the wiki, it uses stamina rather than life energy, so that might've just been a weird subtitle. I guess it's sort of like Fat Gum's ability in that it can be a devastating attack if enough energy is put into it, but it also leaves her completely burnt out afterwards. That being said, it's definitely less impressive than Amajiki or Mirio's abilities.
