    Ya that's what I remember, and it ended in a way that made Endeavor and the other heroes look like they could pick up the fight.
    And I believe that's how the season was supposed to end, even if the arc itself is still ongoing.

    The last episode ended fine. Just watching it again is enough of a reminder.

    If it's not Isuzu-chan Mii~

    Gotta love the fact that they bothered to re-introduce everyone from the main cast and all their abilities but not that one guy who had one appearence during the school-tournament.

    I have no idea why he used that other guy's voice to brainwash.

    Probably because that other guy is the beast tamer/master. Silly idea I got reading your question, but why not for a guy who gets all the beast attributes to have a tamer/master.
    Or at least a partner he gets better results with. For a brainwasher, using a significant other voice probably helps a lot.

    All the things I really like to do are either illegal, immoral, or fattening. And then: Golf.

    You get brainwashed by him if you answer his question/statement/taunt.

    Enemies that know of this naturally would avoid answering if asked, so the dude changes his voice to trick you.

    I'll reassert that Boku no Hero does group battles probably better than any other shounen. Tactics, mind games, and clever usage of powers were just what I expected.

    As an aside rant, one thing that always bothered by about Fairy Tale was how it constantly bloated its cast and then spent more and more time trying to give them all some screen time. Like scraps for those character's fans; dug its own grave with that. MHA is content with giving side characters a spotlight and then simply allowing them to disappear until they are needed in the story again. Class B hasn't been shoehorned into the series more because it's really not about them, and I would like to call out the restraint in that.

    To be fair, Dragon Ball and Naruto do that, only with way fewer characters.

    Like Shino or Lee? Fuck you. Like anyone except Goku and Vegeta? Double fuck you!

    That episode was dope! Amazingly fun.

    It's so much better than the average power vs power theme most shounen fights/shows have.

    Good ol' shounen spirit with a side of chunni *chef's kiss*. Is hawks genuenely interested in raising another hero, or is he a triple agent?

    I'm sure it has been scrutinized to death already, but apparently dark shadow did not levitate due to his cord attached to Tokoyami serving as an appendage and supporting weight, but because the darkness itself is weightless or apparently anti-gravity, and the teather is keeping it from floating off... This power property doesn't make much sense, but it looks neat. I like when a character learns an entirely new application of their power, even if it really shouldn't have been explained.

    Kendo has always had one of the more cute character designs. But that quirk- I don't even know how she got into the hero course with a quirk like that, and still says Yao still has better grades than her. I wonder what her advantage is?

    Mushrooms. Just mushrooms. I wonder how big the board with hero powers is that Horikoshi throws darts onto to decide who gets what?

    She might just be an incredibly competent fighter.

    But yeah, her quirk sucks.

    Or because fighting isn't all that is needed to be a hero.

    Kendo is the big hand-girl, right?

    Pretty sure she can use her hands to get rubble out of the way, dig victims up, or just grip villains and hold them in place.
    It's just logical to assume that she gets enhanced strength when she enlarges her hands proportional to the size of them.
    Otherwise the weigth of her hands would make it impossible for her to move around.
    Imagine yourself getting into this:


    There are certainly some superpowers that are completely useless against that. And imagine getting bonked by that.

    I mean, it's not any worse that the A1 guy whose power is "Tail".

    Dont' forget Tape and Grape. Acid also is a little limited. Invisible girl too with flash bomb. Like, how did she even take down any robots anyway during the exam. Kendo's doing fine compared to all that.

    Dark Shadow's is weird so I would just leave it at that. Cloaking the DS to improve its ability seems to be required, and you'd just have to give it the benefit of doubt that Dark Shadow would just fly from its tether and can't lift anything up with it.

    I was about to say... damn fungus has no killing power, but she just turns into a bioweapon. That escalated quickly.

    This anime is so bad and I cannot stop :/

    I want to punch that dumb mushroom girl in the face everytime she does her orgasm-tongue out face :/

    And Yoyoraorru's "genius idea" that everyone praised as genius ... was the most low-iq, dumb idea ever. Oh, people need to see in the dark, so i send them a thermal visor - GENIUS!!11 :/

    I give her points for knowing how to make thermal goggles from scratch though.

    This is the risk that pure ability-based fight dynamics constantly run with- how the characters use a plethora of powers likely won't match up with out we'd use them, and that makes us frustrated because we tend to think ourselves pretty clever, yet somehow teenagers (written for children) should be at least as quick witted as us.

    I've decided that commentating on the metatextual elements like what shounen is and who it's for aren't really enriching the conversation anymore- we've all agreed to disagree on how appropriate the student's decisions are, so I'll leave it finally to rest.

    The fight had some fun turns and mushrooms can be pretty deadly I suppose, if they end up blocking your wind pipe. Aoyama was thoroughly useless, as expected, and Yaomomo got to show off a bit of growth. All in all, a good battle for side characters.

    I was disappointed the mushrooms didn't give us a better idea of Invisible Girl's figure...

    Well, we also have a lot more time to think. Even just between the watching, and the posting here.

    That said, we have LESS time to think about it than the writer. So it can be frustrating when it seems like we put more thought in it than they did.
