Is that supposed to be a movie tie in villain?
So that's an odd choice to throw in an episode or 2 that have nothing to do with the current plot…This was episode 19? I dunno why they felt the need to stretch it.
The episode itself was okay. The interactions with the other school is nice.

No idea,just a hunch. I would make more sense than create a filler episode unrelated to plot in the middle of an arc.

Pretty much all of those I get, but…why Timburr for Ochaco?

Looking it up on Bulbapedia, I can see a few things.
They're based on construction workers, which is Uraraka's family business.
It's big thing is lifting a heavy object, something Uraraka is also good at, albeit for different reasons. It also ties in to how she weaponized a pillar in that first heroes vs villains test.
It's a fighting type to go along with her martial arts.Waldorf: You know Statler, after watching the last one thousand episodes of One Piece, I think I've come to a conclusion.
Statler: No you haven't.
Both: DOHOHOHOHOHO!

Hope that's the case because the preview visuals were as basic as you can get.

For some reason next week anime episode is original stuff that doesn´t have any relation with the current arc, it´s a little weird since up until now Mha´s fillers were used to give screentime to other characters without messing up with the story timeline.
The reason is a Japanese annual 24 hours-long charity event called "Love Saves the World". BNHA will have a special episode that ties-in with the event, but other shows will just have no episodes at all and continue in two weeks.

I'm watching the dub of the episode where Team Yaoyorozu beats Team Saiko.
There's a bit that reminds of something I forgot to mention before. When they first detect Sai's group Tsuyu wonders if they're a group that got separated from the rest of their school and are hiding.
A superhero podcast I like, The Red Panda Adventures has a quote for exactly this situation in a conversation between the Red Panda and his sidekick, the Flying Squirrel.
Red Panda: You know what my problem with that idea is?
Flying Squirrel: It's a best case scenario?
Red Panda: It is, in fact, a best case scenario. -

That is adorable. Is that Treeko with Deku though? Why Treeko for Deku, he's not plant based at all.
And Mineta doesn't deserve a pokemon as cute as Wailmer!

Great Deku Treecko

Ahh okay. So is this not actually counted for the season episode total?
-

Nah, apparently it will be a normal episode.
How I understand it, they are trying to keep all of the Interniship Arc in Season 4 by killing time in Season 3 with fillers and padding (recaps, unnecessary flashbacks, etc.)
They just used one of those inevitable filler episodes to promote the movie during a charity event.

Horikoshi drew another thing on his twitter account:
!
-
Uh…Huh...Anime what at 5:30?
-
says the exact same thing he writes for every ep - "anime coming up, starting at 5:30"
-
@CCC:

Ah okay. I don't recall seeing these before.
-
yeah the text in the drawing itself never really changes, but sometimes he writes more interesting blurbs in the tweet itself!

I see I see.
In unrelated things. I'm watching a character poll where this group is voting for 1-A characters folks they like the least so it's left with the most favorite. I definitely feel Horikoshi has written 98% good characters cause it's hard to chose.

The least liked Class A characters? Who's winning, Bakugo or Mineta?
My money would be on Mineta because, despite all the "BAKUGO BAD!!!!!" that goes around, he still has people who like him. Mineta is not so fortunate.

I think Bakugou is one of the best characters in the series… I really doubt he'd lose a poll, hell he's probably the most popular character in the series. I think Animal talking guy and Juice drinking dude would lose something like that. Just due to lack of personality. Mineta might be awful but at least he's got character.
-
Bakugou is just like Rohan, a good character but you would hate to have him around you.
Of 1A I think Ojiro, Koda, Sato, Shoji and Hagakure are the one if least development. -

Mineta was out in round 1 I think. Bakugo is still in it. I think Bakugo has grown on people in the west a lot more so he has more fans and slightly less haters lol..
Toru, Jiro, Mineta, Sato, Aoyama, Koda, and Ojiro are out currently.

Gonna say Deku Todoroki Bakugou make the finals… and Tokoyami. Not sure in what order.

The west has now gotten past the part where "he's just going to be another Sasuke style traitor rival, lame". So that helps.

So volume 20's cover is out and it looks blimming incredible. Best cover so far imo

Who's the girl at the very center?
Nejire Hadou.
Is the cover of a western comic? I swear I saw something familiar….Star Wars?

Oooh. I keep forgetting about her.
The cover does have a Star Wars feel about it. And I find it kinda funny who he chose to feature on it. Like I would have swapped at least Ochacho, Asui and Ojiro for Mina and Aoyama.
-
New cover is fantastic! Deku's in Star Wars pose separating hero work and school life and trying to keep them balanced. Composition and art are good and give the low-stakes-but-emotional arc an appropriate movie poster feel. The only out of place thing is Nejire, who apparently was the key to everything while I wasn't looking.

This is the specific Star Wars reference btw:

Hypothesized Star Wars homages:
Other stuff (Hori comment, 1-A kid appearances on covers):
Got the two latest volumes and man, the Viz translation for Seiji Shishikura is ao great, any translation really since his dialogue is so flowery.
The only line of his I definitively prefer in fan-translation though, is "What's abnormal is a world where the rank and file hold sway."
I super love that line.
What's translating his dialogue to english like, is there anything peculiar about it? -
Just sort of stuffy with some pretentious vocabulary thrown in.

Yeee he reads like a dictionary/thesaurus, it's entertaining, thanks.

Ahhh! I'm excited for a new chapter. 90% of the discussions I've seen have been about Bakugo's winter costume (really the only weather appropriate one), his 4th wall destroying secondary quirk and Shinzou.
I'm all excited to see how this class training will go. This may be the best time we get to see class B in action and how Shinzou would do outside of a 1 on 1 situation.
-
The chapter opens with Koda sitting on a pile of knocked-out 1-B students.

Lol. That would be surprising.

shinsou vs. bakugo is overwhelmingly in shinsou favor since Shinsou could just call bakugo a bitch and bakugo's already lost

But isn't Bakugo aware of his quirk? He may actually not say anything back lol.

Shinso: You know what's weird? I'm not even ordering him to fire explosions at Midoriya, he's just doing that himself.
-

"Hey, Bakugo, how does it feel to be the fourth strongest person in your class? Oh, wait, Mineta. Fifth strongest."
-
I am curious how well he can use the quirk if getting slightly hurt negates the affected person. In a fighting situation with multiple fighters that would get tricky.
But besides him hopefully we get to see class B folks we never saw in a fight. Is Welding guy a better version of Mineta? What can comic bubble face guy actually do? What does the transfer student do? Actually I guess outside of like 7 of class B we haven't seen their abilities.
-
This 4x4 is so simple and yet so effective. I am really hyped to see this and hopefully this time none of the fights is offscreened.
That said, my first reaction when I saw Asui was on the first team was "damn, she is losing to give Class B a good first impression". While I would understand that, this girl is dying for some good feats under her belt so please.
-
Noice chapter.
Really great stuff.
But Shinso mask better be kept a secret, but them again he is under Aizawa's belt.Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
-
My guess is that we'll only see 100% of shinso's battles. (unless in the middle of fight 2 we get a reveal of the traitor)
-
I think Shinso is very much suited as an infiltrator or espionage type.
"Hey, guard."
"Freeze!…!!!"
"Unlock the entrance for me, then go to sleep."He'd also be an awesome hostage negotiator.
He just has to get one direct reply out of the suspect and he can order a quiet surrender.Come to think of it, can't he do that for most villains since villains just love to talk? (Stain, Shigaraki, Overhaul, etc)
He could wipe out a lot of villains really quickly by telling them all to surrender without a fight. Like geez.
Just bring him along for everything. -
He's going to die just before smoking the traitor isn't he? A Maes Huges type of death.
-
Really, Class A? Vine Girl is hanging out by herself and you don't consider that a trap? I blame Froppy, she's the default brains of that team. She should've been the one stalking around alone, using the guys as a distraction. But, I love the Class A's teams. Nothing in particular stands out, I just love how random they are.
Didn't think about the Class B quirks we know about getting upgraded. Nice. Hope Horikoshi at least shows us every Class B quirk in action.
Fight 2 with Momo leading should be fun. We got a shadow quirk, light quirk, and invisible quirk. Predicting sight shenanigans happening. Not sure how B can stop Iida and Todoroki. Unless someone on B has an OP quirk. Fight 4 has Tape VS Glue. Other than that, I think A will steamroll them. Fight 5 will be the showstopper, of course. Monoma will be the one to beat. If he doesn't use Shinsou's (and his entire team's) quirk at the start I'll be seriously disappointed. And, I hope Uravity doesn't get taken down by Shinsou pretending to be Deku.

Why'd you put that thought in my head? lol
Replace death with losing his quirk like Mirio and I totally agree. -
it's good thsat unlike naruto, this manga is not suddenly forgetting his setting of "students steadly improving"..this exercise should be a good showcase for the ability of everyone..i just hope it doesn't get interrupted by the nth villain invasion.
