My Hero Interlude Ends With This Episode
Well, I think this may be my least favorite episode of the entire season of My Hero Academia. When we left off, Bakugo, Shoto, Camie, and Inasa had to rein in a bunch of problem elementary school students. When words failed to reach them, they resort to humanity’s other, time-honored solution: violence. Or so it looks like: in truth, they’re just trying to reach those kids hearts.
Oh, and Midoriya and Aoyama end up bonding while Bakugo and Endeavor own up to their short-comings.
Winning the Hearts and Minds
Every now and then, they’ve got to deal with the quieter moments. In this case, we see Bakugo, Shoto, and some students from Shiketsu High take their remedial classes for their provisional liscences. Their first lesson: winning the hearts and minds of the people. By people, I mean a bunch of schoolkids.
My Hero…Slice of Life?
So, last episode of My Hero Academia saw the end to one of the biggest stories in the anime’s history. Overhaul loses the ability to use his Quirk, and Sir Nighteye died surrounded by All Might, Deku, LeMillion, and everyone else. What could one of the biggest shonen anime on the market do to top such an amazing arc? Apparently start a new one with a slice of life theme.
A New Hope Emerges
You know what I love about the creator of My Hero Academia? The fact that he understands how great Shonen heroes don’t give up hope in the face of impossible odds. That, and he loves Star Wars as much as I do. And yes, the title for this is a reference to Star Wars.
Lemillion’s Heroic Power
After several episodes of waiting, Lemillion manages to catch up to Overhaul and retrieve Eri. But can he beat him on his own? And I don’t care what IGN says, the fight’s not “a letdown”.
League of Villains Appears!
As the raid on the Hassakai’s base continues, the League of Villains members Twice and Toga suddenly appear! What could they posstibly want, though?
The Unbreakable Shield of Red Riot.
When faced with the overwhelming power of one of the Eight Bullets, can Red Riot and Fat Gum’s unbreakable shield hold up?
Resolve of Suneater the Hero
With the raid on the Chie Hassakai underway, Amajiki takes on three of Overhaul’s enforcers. It’s time to show why he’s called the hero Suneater!
Magical Girls Save the Day
After days of fruitless searching, Nighteye finds out where they’re keeping Eri. Thanks to Magical Girls toys of all things.
A Girl Named Eri
My Hero Academia, Season 4, Episode 6 Review/Recap Ever since Midoriya had to Overhaul take that little girl, Eri, he can’t stop thinking about how scared she was. Before we … Continue Reading A Girl Named Eri
Red Riot Roars Onto the Scene!
It’s always important for a shonen story to give focus to the supporting cast. In this episode, Red Riot bursts onto the public stage for the first time!
Fighting Fate
After a two week break, My Hero Academia returns with a new episode. A chance encounter with a villain forces Midoriya to make a difficult decision. Not long after, he learns why All Might and Sir Nighteye split up, and All Might’s task of fighting fate.
Fanboy Meets Fanboy- Deku vs. Nighteye
In order to do a work study under Sir Nighteye, all Midoriya had to do was get him to laugh. However, it looks like his impersonation of All Might only offended the older fanboy. The meeting of the ultimate All Might fanboys shall commence!
Overhaul Means Business
With the (surprisingly) good recap episode over, MHA starts Season 4 in earnest with our first look at the new villain, Overhaul.
My Hero Academia is Back for the Semester
I couldn’t resist being able to write about the new season of My Hero Academia. It’s one of the hot anime right now, and I love superheroes. Despite being a recap episode, it manages to avoid falling victim to the problems of recap episodes.
