This has been one of my favorite storylines in this series, and this episode did it JUSTICE! From the expressions of Endeavor and our trio, to the humor, action of seeing our boys in action, and the emotional complexities of the Todoroki family...this was my favorite episode of the season so far!
Thank you for watching with me and for all the support!

Oh, thank goodness! I'm so glad they're at least going to get into the MVA arc -- I was sweating bullets, to be honest! After thinking about it, it makes sense they're doing the Aizawa/Kurogiri storyline, and if they devote a whole episode to it, maybe they'll at least put in some flashback moments with them all to help build up that relationship. I just will feel bad if they leave out the Vigilantes stuff, because it adds SO MUCH depth to that storyline. I guess we'll see! But I agree -- I have liked the Endeavor Arc and a few episodes of Class 1A vs Class 1B, but this season has been very toned down compared to last season, and it's hard to put my finger on it. I honestly think it's because they've pushed the MVA storyline to the end of the season instead of having it throughout like the manga does. For the sake of streamlining, I can see why they did it, but it's frustrating to a manga reader, because we know how good it is, and the wait has been KILLER. I at least hope they go all out with the animation on Shigaraki and the Sadman Parade. :) *fingers crossed*

2021-08-05 15:19:00 +0000 UTCThis season has been a bit strange - has 5 or 6 10/10 episodes and the rest have been average. I’m glad that they are going to cover the Aizawl/Kurogiri storyline next episode which was really surprising for me too and the preview got me excited. The EA Arc has been ok and I quite enjoyed this episode, too. Thankfully it’s been confirmed that episode 20 will be the beginning of the MVA arc - as there is a title and short episode description. I hope that from now on the anime will get back to its good shape as the manga is fire currently and has been for 70+ chapters (including MVA of course) and I feel like it hasn’t been doing it justice lately.

2021-08-05 15:13:27 +0000 UTCI am beyond STUNNED **SPOILERS** that they are doing the Kurogiri storyline this season. I was NOT expecting that at all -- it has me VERY worried about MVA. My only hope is they are going to start the arc at the end of this season and then lead to the ending of it next season and the war arc after that? Because I'm nervous how they would cram all that information into 6 episodes. @_@ **END SPOILERS** And OOOH! I did NOT recognize Chuuya as Ending! That is so cool! I'll need to go back and re-watch! ^^ I don't like the idea of Endeavor "redemption" because what he's done is truly horrible and Natsu has every right to NOT forgive him. I don't think Endeavor should get off for what he's done -- I don't blame you for rooting for the other side! **SPOILERS** Not going to lie, I was having the time of my life reading the Dabi reveal and see Endeavor have the fruits of his abuse come full frontal and have to own up to the public with what he's done. I will be fangirling so hard when we get to the Dabi reveal, let me tell you! Hahahaha! **END of SPOILERS** And yes, in the future with the Manga, Rei is held accountable in a sense, too. So at least there's that. But yeah....Natsu isn't wrong in this. None of the kids are, really. The only one who really doesn't have a say in any of this is Endeavor. So there's that. :P

2021-08-01 01:02:58 +0000 UTCTHERE’S NO EPISODE NEXT WEEK!!! 😭😭😭 THAT PREVIEW GOT ME SO EXCITED!! Though, ngl, I am starting to feel a little scared about how few episodes they are leaving for MVA…UNLESS, they plan to start the arc this season and finish it in the next season. My only guess is that maybe they use Kurogiri as a way to interrogate him about what happened during the MVA incident and then flashback to it? idk I feel like they are doing way too much recap in this season. They better not cut too much of MVA!! I WILL RIOT ! 😭😭 One of my favorite parts of this episode was when I recognized Chuuya’s voice actor as Ending…I sck at recognizing VA so I was surprised by how quickly I recognized him. That scream is just so unique 😂😭 I think I am one of the few fans that does not like the Endeavor “redemption arc”. 🙈 I just feel like if he truly regretted physically and mentally abusing his family, he would turn himself in to the police. I would enjoy it more if I knew it would end with Endeavor facing some kind of legal repercussions for his actions but, as of now, I dont see that happening. I just can’t feel sympathy or root for an abuser. Every time he’s in a fight, I find myself rooting for the other party instead. 😅😅 I mean, I don’t even like how easy they let Rei off the hook. Like, I understand she was mentally incapacitated when she burned Shoto, but I can’t understand why she never ran away with the kids and worse that she seems to have forgiven him now in the present. I would never forgive someone who hurts my kids, especially if one of them “died” bc of said abuse. Honestly, Natsuo is probably the most rational and stable in the whole family.
