@MDL:

I like when people kinda start to get it…. but they don't fully get it yet.
Like "oh man, just you wait...it's coming."

They can tell that he's good, but they can never possibly imagine HOW good.

It adds to the comedy immensely as it makes it feel like a looney tunes skit. Even baring witness, first hand, what Saitama is capable of everyone either tries to play it cool, play it off as a fluke and forget about it, get unreasonably angry, or simply achieve extreme denial bordering on insanity. Saitama is a tacky caped bald man with a stoned out face so everyone always assumes he's a normal citizen or the lowest of the low in the hero rankings. Literally turning expectations on their head.

! I wasn't 100% in the know when it comes to Hawks, but it would appear that he's a double double agent when it comes to his actions. Also Dabi seems to be in the know in some capacity and working with him (forgive my ignorance) so things are slowly clicking in place for me. I hope Best Jeanist is alive and Hawks filled him in. It would make sense for him to go off the radar to not rise suspicion for Hawks operations. Though the body in the bag doesn't sit well with me in the slightest since it would mean either he DID kill Best Jeanist, or he killed a random person and played it up. Overall this is gonna be a huge stain on his record as a hero. Its hard to say where this all will lead, but whatever hawks was working towards, he went in too deep.
! As for shiggy and the gang, besides himself, everyone seemed to only unlock their potential in the heat of the moment. So there's still room for progression.

! Well that was messy…
! At least we're getting some good character insight for Shiggy. The whole hand explanation for his various hands made my skin crawl and it was great

! So both Atomic Samurai and Zombieman have reached opponents that are counters to their style of fighting. It's always scary to see S-class heroes with their backs against the wall, but it's some of the best fights in the whole series and what I yearn for. To this day, the fight between Metal Bat and Garou was some of the best content I've ever read. Seeing other heroes get the same amount of page-time is, and will be, great stuff.

@Satsuki:

Now I wonder if the two newbies will bleach their hair again.

From what I recall I don't think Kumi has complained much to her brother. He knows that she hates seeing him get hurt, but she also goes to his matches when she can, which already makes her greater than Ippo's mom in that sense. But lately she's gotten more selfish about Ippo boxing, in part because he might be punch drunk, and in part because she just wants a normal relationship. But sorry, Kumi, you'll never get it.

Its quite honestly because she knows, deep down, that he'll go back to it. No matter how much she fights for a normal and safe relationship, she sees him drifting back to danger. You could see it in her reaction to when she visited Ippo after the news of being punch drunk. A part of her was happy that he was finally out of danger but the other part was devastated that his dream was over. She's emotionally conflicted and its why she acts so selfish and protective over him. Eventually, like her brother, she's gotta learn that boxing is his path and his passion. If she can't, she's gotta let him go.

@El-Matematico:

! I generally dislike this sort of "character progression" because it permeates the idea that mental issues are simple to solve if you get to the source. It's also unrealistic so it breaks my suspension of disbelief.

! This is a special case and makes sense since his trauma was that he never knew whether he was a clone or not and if he got hurt he'd disappear forever. He overcame this because he was forced to feel pain and found out that he still existed after the fact and given the circumstance of his crush being in danger this snapped him out of his fear over the matter. The underlying problem however, of the clones thinking they're real, might cause trouble in the future but only if a traumatic experience like before resurfaces. Until then, he's pretty much a free man and it made for a great character moment to show how powerful his quirk really is.

@Satsuki:

Yup, BK lost again. And we know who won. Actually I would have found it even funnier if The Colonel showed up.

Although whichever played Ronald did it CREEPY.

Pretty sure it was Nice Peter. Hair wasn't fluffed enough so it made him look kind of weird.
That beat was insanely good, btw

! Wendys does it again.

Wow, when shounen grit and determination are what causes the heroes downfall instead of their victory. Forgetting fundamentals is a pretty good character realization.

Guy Fawkes vs Che Guevara

As ERB returns, so do I to Arlong! I love this to the point where my eyes got damp. I most certainly missed these. The behind the scenes made this even better.
