Here's hoping the anime does what it's best at and expands on things the manga couldn't find the space for

Anime-only fans are going to be spoiled by the second movie, since it apparently takes place further down the timeline than Season 4 and incorporates elements from Hori's originally-planned ending for the series

Wonder what that's gonna do to sales

Which cartoon animal represents Deku?

I wonder what Deku's thinking when he runs across a scared girl in bandages who recoils from him, being followed by Kai Chisaki

The episode preview was also hilariously spoilery

You could probably do a fun little riff in the idea of bakugou and deku's situations being reversed, where Deku had his parents quirks combine into Basically Firebdnding and he's a cheerful hero prodigy for whom everything comes naturally, and Bakugou is the quirkless one who is pissed off all the time and spent his entire youth physically conditioning himself to be a quirkless hero before meeting All Might.

Would Bakugo be getting One for All in this scenario? Because I think he'd have to mellow out a bit before All Might would consider him

Or is this a world where Mirio gets it, and Deku and Bakugo develop a little more naturally as heroes - still getting dragged into conflicts when they stumble into them rather than actively looking for them because the plot demands conflict

in case no one else has said it yet

overhaul's power is bullshit

"I know this is rich, coming from me, but your powers are BULLSHIT."

Overhaul's a cool dude with killer high fives. He and Shiggy would likely get along like a house on fire if they could hash things out.

If your Quirk is "I have wings" do you still need a Hero License just to fly?

Is there an entire subset of bureaucracy for people that don't want to be heroes but would like to be able to use their Quirks to make their lives easier?

People are going to be so confused and I really hope that doesn't hurt its sales too badly

Mirio phasing through Eri to kick and punch was amazing, and the fact he can still tag Overhaul without his Quirk is great

I mean, sure, he's completely screwed in the long run, but it shows Eri that Overhaul isn't invincible

Vinylshadow

Feel like the anime's missed a chance to show the girls doing something while the boys are rescuing Eri, which was something a lot of manga readers were hoping the anime would fix

(Having not watched the latest episode, for all I know the preview could have shown exactly that...?)

...huh, we're already to Chimerasaki

Felt like it took longer for the manga to unveil him - the perks of Hori not being in the process of dying and the seasonal format, I suppose

Eh, I disagree with that. There is an entirely natural and non-contrived way to make theoretical quirkless Hero Deku keep up with the usual shonen power curve - pair him with Mei.

There's "keeping up with the curve" and then there's "breaking it entirely"

I'd actually really like to see a recut of this episode that just tosses all the pace-interrupting flashbacks and extraneous padding dialogue, instead just focusing on the action. It'd be like 8 minutes long but it'd be a very worthwhile 8 minutes.

Ah, the first Naruto vs Sasuke Valley of the End fight treatment, where they kept interrupting the episode to show you dead Uchiha, where a fight that should've taken an episode or two instead took 5 (8 if you count the flashbacks)

Thankfully, the second one only took 2.2

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!

When Deku fights, he pictures the other guy as middle-school Bakugo. :v:

He'd picture them as people dissing All Might, but he's trying not to actively kill people

I loved this part. I also loved how they played really loving ominous music even though it's our hero beating the pulp out of the villain and making our hero look a bit freaky in doing so

That's because we're seeing this from Overhaul's perspective, where Deku being a wrathful god who's done with his poo poo is the right approach, so enjoy the ominous music, terrifying lighting, and Overhaul probably having a few regrets before getting punched by a nuke

Going by past experiences, Deku would somehow befriend the kid with the most tragic backstory.

He'd introduce them to Eri and probably accelerate the Quirk Singularity by 100 years

I think Deku's been living next to him for too long, he almost makes a comment on Nejire's boobs in this episode.

At least he's socially awkward about being around attractive women and tends to look away (as seen with Mei)

The Overhaul Arc suffered due to all of its good directors and animators being called away to work on Heroes Rising and they're thankfully back for the School Festival, which given that we're going into a play & concert combo, is probably for the best, especially since Hori was basically dying and barely got out finished chapters around this time

Gentle on the steel beam was probably one of the most surreal scenes the anime has produced
