It's finally back! Things are getting serious as the League of Villains makes a move into all-out war!

Izuku "Deku" Midoriya (Daiki Yamashita, Justin Briner)
Quirk: One For All
So One For All is a bunch of different powers now! Wow! Neat!


Toshinori "All Might" Yagi (Kenta Miyake, Chris Sabat)
Quirk: One For All Quirkless
Hey, how come All Might never had all these cool powers? Did he even see the ghosts?!


Katsuki "Lord Explosion Murder" Bakugo (Nobuhiko Okamoto, Clifford Chapin)
Quirk: Explosion
I guess Bakuho has gotten a bit closer to Deku and Todoroki after their internship and movie, but he's still kind of a jerk.


Shoto "Shoto" Todoroki) (Yuki Kaji, David Matranga)
Quirk: Half-Cold Half-Hot
Icy Hot here has somehow become a main character. He's....I guess dealing with his dad and all that nonsense.


Tomura Shigaraki (Kōki Uchiyama, Eric Vale)
Quirk: Disintegration
Hey, Tomura got a whole bunch of friends last season! What's he gonna do with them now?

I'm really excited for this. 2 perfect seasons, 2 very good seasons, and only one misstep. That's an amazing average and I can't wait to see where the story goes from here.

This will probably always be my favorite MHA OP

I wasn't as down on the previous season as most folks here were so I'm looking forward to watching this new season (once it all wraps up that is, I feel like the show works significantly better for me when I can watch it at my own pace instead of waiting a week).

Haven't seen the first episode yet but did they start with another recap/anime exclusive thing or did they just jump right back into the story?

There's a very short recap right at the start of the episode and then it jumps right into the hospital assault.

Yeah that group shot of the other students is from a specific scene, so the kids not in that group just don't appear in the OP.

Bones is going to have to try really, really hard to not do plot this season or move things around in weird, confusing ways. Also hopefully there isn't another movie secretly in production at the moment so some moments might actually get a little love? who knows.

Was extremely surprised that this episode wasn't much of a recap (beyond the plot of last season) and poo poo popped off immediately. Of course, considering the arc, it's gonna be popping off all loving season so hopefully we can maintain the energy.

was a good first episode! I haven't read the manga but it felt like it was pretty much pure adaptation based on how quickly poo poo got real

anime is not good
i'm really digging the ending for this season. probably my favorite so far

anyway, nice to see a bit more dynamism in the animation than the last season. let's hope they keep it up

i burst out laughing when i saw that shot. i could hear the gilligan's island intro song going "...and the rest!" as they took a half second to cram everyone in between the multiple shots of deku, bakugo, and todoroki

One of the series' worst flaws to me - also kind of its only major one - is not developing the supporting cast like it should.

I watch the OP anime, the OP dub at that, so I know I'm far behind, but Ace must have died a long, long time ago, right? Yet he's still in Top 10 popularity polls.

Poor All Might "merely" loses his powers and receives a lesser role in the narrative/action yet he drops off the list. How unfair. Then again, Japan loves Hiei, so obviously their taste is very questionable.

I hope the MHA dub is only one weak behind. I'm just entertaining myself till then.

Pretty boys have long, LONG lasting staying power in character polls. It's because Ace is so popular that we have Sabo at all, or at least have Sabo the way he's presented in Dressrosa. The two characters pretty much feed on each other's popularity.

it's kinda wild looking at the # of participants per year for each show.

OP goes from having ~50,000 votes total to luffy alone having 1,700,000 in 4 years. that is loving insane lol

also i had no idea black clover was that popular. it has like 10x the total votes that mha does.

The last OP Poll is an outlier because it was a worldwide popularity poll online that you could vote for one character every day for like 2 months. That's why the results are so high.

The new episode is up and frankly Mirko should have been the #1 hero over Endeavor. Takes Endeavor AND Hawks to take down one High End but Mirko ganks two of them inside a minute? Queen poo poo.
