10 mile new episode rundown:
The new OP is A) an absolute BOP and B) giving me whiplash from the tone shift
-League of Villains dismember Chisaki!!
-Boppy Kitschy School Festival Funtime Yay!!
-More Pro Heroes Are Dead!!!!!
It’s like the narrative equivalent of the flutes coming in a measure too early
Aizawa turn on your location I just wanna talk
That being said this OP is fucking fantastic it took me like 40 minutes to watch this episode cuz I just kept rewinding the OP like a happy idiot
Gran Torino: “Kurogiri’s quirk is designed for stealth and yet somehow he’s been spotted four times? That’s fishy”
Tsukauchi: “Look I stopped bringing into question the League of Dramatic Bitches’ sensibilities when they smashed their fists through a police car and de-limbed a mob boss for funsies. Which they did yesterday.”
On That Day Humanity Received a Grim Reminder
Kurogiri says servants - plural - I don’t think I’m gonna like the explanation for that.
I shouldn’t be laughing but I’m laughing^^^
Just the extra layer of Fuck-You-Deku-ness
Deku: “Mirio is quirkless. Sir is dead. All Might’s gonna die. Can this day get any worse?”
League of Villains: -sticks their Chisaki’s leggy up-
I’m thinking back to the Training Camp arc when Deku saved Kota and immediately pawned him off on Aizawa and what I mean is BNHA as a whole is just like *hands Aizawa a small child* *hands Aizawa a small child* *hands Aizawa a small child*
MAN you know Night Eye’s whole character really just served to knock Deku’s legs out from under him huh? Sir be like, “You’re not good enough to be All Might. Also you stole that future from Mirio. Speaking of stealing from Mirio he lost his quirk. And speaking of Futures All Might is gonna die horrifically. And speaking of dying horrifically I’m gonna do just that and you’re gonna kinda think it was your fault.”
Deku… offering to give away AfO to Mirio…. let my little boy live.
Mirio shuts him down no-comment. What a good boy. What a star. What a lad.
The cuts between Mirio being Completely Broken, and Mirio putting on a smiling face for Deku’s sake are killing me.
All of Class 1-A gathered being concerned and wholesome is my life blood. They’re good kids, Brent.
I relate to Satou because I, too, try to solve my friends’ emotional troubles by giving them food.
Iida: “EVERYONE!!! IT IS IMPORTANT TO BE QUIET AND GIVE YOUR CLASSMATES PERSONAL SPACE”
Deku: “Actually Iida, it’s oka–”
Iida: “EXCELLENT BECAUSE I CANNOT BE QUIET NOR GIVE YOU PERSONAL SPACE IT IS AN INTRINSIC FLAW IN WHO I AM AS A PERSON”
They don’t say it, but I’m choosing to believe Iida has extra empathy about the situation given the Stain arc, especially since his brother’s tragedy ended up all over the news too.
Sero Taking One For The Team
I appreciate Kirishima being willing to kind of admit that hes not okay.
My aesthetic is Kaminari heckling Bakugou then getting dropped on his face.
I think this is kind of a self-roast ^^^ the “unlike the rest of you” alluding to how Bakugou has provisional training… unlike the rest of them… He’s angsting about it.
Endeavor: Long time no see… Former #1 Hero All Might… Let’s chat.
Present Mic:
By which I mean it’s an inverse of the Sports Festival Arc.
Endeavor: “SHOTO! PERFECT! I HAVE TIME TOMORROW TO SEE YOUR TRAININ–”
Shoto: -hangs up-
Endeavor: “….Ungrateful. Rebellious. Truly he is my most SPITEFUL child…”
Toya “Dabi” Todoroki, off on the lam dismembering mob bosses and burning people to death due to a serious case of Fuck Endeavor-itis: “…Yall hear something just now?”
oh i LOVE the Shiketsu dumbasses they are BACK
In theory there could be someone who occupies top-left but that would require another character beside Todoroki who can stay silent for more than 1.2 seconds
There’s a third axis “dumbass” and they’re all as far along it as possible.
Using the school festival motif in the ED to hint at things/characters to come is really good and clever??
Bruh that’s Night Eye’s 10 Year Commemorative poster that’s now on Deku’s wall in the ED….
-burned off photo on the Todoroki corkboard in the ED- we GET IT Toya’s MISSING but also yes this DOES cater directly to my interests and i would sell GOVERNMENT SECRETS for a CRUMB of Toya confirmation please do this MORE.
Like at first I took it as an issue with perspective but the more I think about it the more I’m like “flat frog. flat flat frog.”
