I honestly completely forgot about this fight. I really disliked the CONSTANT interruptions for them to stare at each other and flashback, despite the really good animation and realization of the fight.

Season five is confirmed. What's funny is that everyone who cares anywhere is excited for My Villain Academia but not a word about the entire likely 1 cour that the Joint Training arc is gonna get first. Anime only people are gonna think it's entirely filler, lmao

the anime tends to speed up battles and the training arc is all battles, i don't think it'll be nearly as dragged out as spending a month on one out of five fights

As someone who just binged the manga "that arc" was fine and kind of needed as a decompression after the others. I imagine it would have been obnoxious in real time but it's not gonna be in a much shorter time like the anime will go through it.

the last match will probably spillover into a second episode since it gets interrupted by OFA's new powerup

The training arc was partly frustrating in the moment because of the shorter chapters making it take longer and also all the fights after the first being relatively predictable which made waiting for them more frustrating.

It won't be exactly one match per episode anyway because they're not all the same number of chapters.

And aside from Shinso MAYBE joining the hero course, there were no real stakes, plot or characterwise, and fighting for fighting's sake is just boring no matter what. I'd rather decompress with something fun, like the school festival. E: MIRKO COVER MIRKO COVER https://twitter.com/WSJ_manga/status/1245698448864587783?s=20

There was no stakes in the school festival arc either, at least the joint training had fights that weren’t deku for once

As someone who loved the Joint Training arc I think that as long as they don't siphon all the talent into another movie, season 5 being that arc plus My Villain Academia would make it the strongest season so far easily.

The stakes are "low" but they're real and immediately understandable. It's one of the, if not the, best arcs in the series.

The fights are often the least interesting point of MHA. Which is why Vigilantes is better than the main series.

Looking back on the 1-A vs 1-B arc after all this time, it's really only the Momo and Todoroki matches that I disliked, and even then it's mostly the Momo match I hated. With the Todoroki match it was more me thinking all the stuff between Todoroki and Tetsutetsu was really dumb while the rest of the fight going on around them was alright(Iida really shined in that match). I liked the rest of the matches in that arc, so if they can condense the whole Momo fight to one easily forgotten episode, it will be a huge improvement to the arc.

Then you remember she’s a recommended student like todoroki and inasa and it gets super funny

All four the of the recommended students got chumped in that arc. Momo lost her match badly, Todoroki had his dumb thing with Tetsutetsu, Mudman got his head caved in by Iida and the match ended in a draw, and Lizard girl got destroyed by Bakugou.

I've got to be honest, the training arcs are fine when I'm reading them, but I literally cannot recall a single thing from any of them, except for All Might Vs Deku/Bakugo, because it was funny watching Superman grab kids by their face while yelling "NO ESCAPE FUCKERS!".

Mudman literally has a thought bubble about how he didnt wanna be useless like momo and dropped the tower on iida and everyone causing the draw (seriously go re-read this part cause it’s like momo gets double poo poo on) Todoroki was selfish but didn’t get anywhere close to chumped And genderbent buggy the clown only lost cause she thought bakugo was gonna ditch his team, didn’t jiro throw the grenade that bakugo gave her and that’s how bakugo even got the drop? Momo coulda threw loving real grenades to help her team lmfao

The Todoroki Tetsu match was solid. Like I guess it's just a rehash of Todoroki's deal of not liking to use his fire powers but at least there was an attempt to use these fights to explore character growth which barely happened outside of Shinso and like 5 pages of Bakugou vaguely being a team player.

I dunno, I thought Todoroki going "hmm, my fire isn't working, what if I just get hotter and try melting him!" was dumb. Iida ripping out his mufflers so he can use his Recipro Burst longer was way cooler.

That's solid too, the 3rd match is pretty ok it's just kind of boring. Probably one of the better fights of the arc though.

The parts of 1-A vs. 1-B that stick in my mind is Mushroom Girl choking out Tokoyami and Kendo's response to handing Momo's team their asses being "but I don't FEEL like I won".

Right, in order: The Froppy fight had some good back and forth, established some minor stakes with Shinso's part (also making him look more like a threat for when Deku would have to deal with him), and built to a fun final. Momo's fight sucked. Todoroki's fight had some moments, but mostly it was just there. Bakugo's fight was just a blitz of Bakugo being the best. And Deku's fight had actual plot and Uraraka kicking absurd amounts of rear end, so it was good. Basically, we've got 60 percent good, 20 percent eh, and 20 percent bad. It's just discussion focuses on the bad. If the anime speeds things up, it should be better. But... we did also say that about the Overhaul arc.
