I don't mind the slow pacing. Fits these type of episodes. The next arc is more on the fast paced side anyway, so Bones should manage it with about 6 episodes left for about 20 chapters. I wouldn't worry too much and rather try enjoy what's going on right now. Knowing about future development makes me like this part more than I did when reading the manga.

Even if Endeavour is now reaping what he sowed, that man is going through a lot. I feel some sympathy for him(for everyone involved in fact)

My talking academia

Come on mha you are not death note nor attack on titan where every episode have so many plot points so even if they talk the whole episode it’s interesting and debatable. But this season of mha is getting lame as fuk. Like how did bone think they can go on till 18 episodes just with black whip episode. And this todoroki story is cliched and easily predictable. And I’m not a manga reader but the ending scene is a give away i guess. Sure i know about the boy in photo

I didn't even knew today was the episode.That's how less interested I am in Mha.It's pretty sad cuz it was the anime that got me into watching anime.Again,nothing really happened this episode. The first half was all flashback and the training of the main 3. What do they even learn from this training other than improving their speed? The training system is pretty useless if the teacher doesn't even teach them anything. When they visited Todoroki's house, it was also useless cuz there wasn't any development at all. The only reason people including me are sticking around is cuz of MVA arc or many would've dropped it already but then again, MVA alone cannot save this season. I hope MVA arc stretches all the way to season 6 so it doesn't feel rushed at all but seems like that'll not be the case.

I feel like there’s a balance between set up and climax, and personally I’m not feeling this season has a good balance of things. We’re still in set up phase 17 episodes in - 16 without filler - and it doesn’t have that pacing that I can to expect from MHA. Don’t get me wrong the set up is much better this half than the first four, but it’s getting tiresome waiting for something to happen, if they started off with this cour or blasted through the class a bs class b arc, I might have not been this tired of it lol.

Episode on the whole was framing endeavours character more, and I quite enjoyed that. The amount of death flags for endeavour this episode was crazy, or was it just me who saw them? The idea of his family eating together without him etc may just be the idea that he ruined the family, but imo the foreshadowing is pouting to endeavour being changed forever and not in a good way. Even as a fairly obnoxious and overbearing person, endeavour undeniably is a great hero, from how he helped out people to the speed at which he arrived on scene.

Deku nearly switched the show into food wars with his PG analysis of the mapo tofu lmao, and Bakugos crass nature helped break things apart. The endeavour family does need healing for sure , and it’s not something they’ll overcome without major changes.

Man what a big load of nothing, I went to the preview after skipping to the halfway point to see if mva would start, but NOPE, they're still at that damn dinner table. So, at the MAXIMUM, we have 7 episodes for mva, but I'm betting on six, because the last episode might be the first couple chapters of the paranormal liberation war arc. What was Bones thinking with all these useless flashbacks? We could have had the rest of the EA arc this episode done in no time flat, and then we get better pacing for mva, but sadly, nope. Such a disappointment


yeah ,do they think the viewers have short term memory loss. every single second wasted is ruining mva arc. if this was a long running anime or 50 episode season ,then i wouldnt mind these fillers and recaps.


One Piece does the flashbacks, and even then it's unneeded, but for a much shorter show like this, it's so unnecessary

Well this ep was focused on Todoroki's family and Endaveor. Pacing is alright, not sure if we will still get MVA arc in the 4th season.
Todoroki is able to forgive his dad, that's a good thing. But takes a lot of time so props to him. Natsuo is unable to forgive him.. so the ''family'' endaveor is always dreaming off is impossible at the moment.

I enjoyed it. But I can understand why others may have found it frustrating, particularly if the thing you're in for with this anime is action. I like the interpersonal dynamics and complex history, it brings depth to the story and I think it helps us understand character style of battle and decision making during action packed episodes.

Bakugo is great.

The flashback usage was a little on the excessive side, but I still like this episode. The pacing was pretty slow compared to previous episodes, but it felt like the right pacing when it came to the subject of the Todoroki family.

It was nice of Fuyumi to invite Midoriya and Bakugo over for dinner, but you can feel that awkward tension around them all when they were eating, not helped by Natsuo still struggling to forgive Endeavour for what he did in the past. I'd like to see more of Toya died, though.

Midoriya and Bakugo did prove to be good ice-breakers when things got too awkward, with Midoriya especially being honest and straight to the point with what he thought about Shota. Hopefully things between the family will go in the right direction sooner or later. =)

they poured everything into a MID JT arc to make it look cool and now Endeavor agency looks mid i guess they gonna pop off with the last MVA fight like S4 finale

This episode adapted only 1 chapter of 15 pages and 1 page from the previous chapter , meaning they adapted only 16 pages in 1 episode , WHAT THE ACTUAL FUCK IS BONES DOING WITH MHA ??!
I know for sure they could have adapted all 4 remaining chapters of this arc to get us done with it and get to the serious thing ,but they chose not to
This is the slowest adaptation i've ever seen , this is slow pacing level one piece !

I can really see people's frustrations and major complaints. I still enjoyed the episode. I can understand where they are coming from. Of course changing events around seems a little weird or upsetting. But as long they are adapting the the stuff right. Then I do not complain too much. Endeavor's agency arc is going to close very soon. Then the "Big One" can finally come.

The first half definitely had mad flashbacks lmao, though I liked how Endeavor was reflecting. The second half of the episode though was fucking great. Midoriya and Bakugo's reactions while they were eating and Natsu was taking shots at Endeavor was fucking gold. Let Bakugo enjoy his mapo tofu in peace. Episode 19 will most likely be the start of the arc we've all been waiting for as the next episode is the climax of this arc. Really looking forward to the next episode.

This episode was pretty heavy with the ever-present sadness that hangs over the Todoroki family. Imo the Todoroki aspect of BNHA is one of the best parts about the franchise; it's so well written and explores this complex and scarred family unit brilliantly.

I feel the same as Shoto; even after reading the manga I'm still not sure how to feel about Endeavour. He did some unforgivable things in the past but he's trying so hard to make up for them and there is a lot more to the story than meets the eye... but does that mean he should be forgiven? I still don't know.

Straight up the Todoroki family subplot is by far the most compelling story element of this entire series. This is easily one of my favourite episodes to date. I think it's surprisingly well done despite this being a battle shounen at its core. All the characters perspectives are believable.

I wouldn’t say just cause rei aftermath scene was cut means mva is gonna be in trouble, cause if you remember in S4 ep 2, magne’s death was shown with blood and compress arms were blown up by overhaul and blood splattered.

Or maybe that rei aftermath scene was cut due to a child being involved with violence. Not sure though.

Because the other kids was Fuyumi and Natsuo.
Why in the Photo he has a white hair? Lmao I'm confused, is this an Error by the Studio?

So Endeavor think Toya is dead...
Now I'm curious what the story behind it.
They keep Teasing us about Toya, it must be something important later on.

I'm still gonna hold on my prediction about Toya is actually Dabi.

Almost a quater of the episode were flashbacks that we have already saw. I wouldn't mind if the plot point were the same but the animation were different, for example.

Overall, I gave this episode a score of 3/5. It was not "bad"... but it was a bit uninteresting for me.

If you’ve read the manga, you would know this training isn’t useless and by far the most important training session Deku has ever had. Guess you didn’t pay that much attention to reading the manga.

Possibly the kid with the ball in the Flashaback isn't Toya, but a cousin or friend. Toya is Endevor's first child, so he should be older than Natuso and Fuyumi. But the kid with the ball in the flashback is about the same age as them or so, so I think he's someone else.

About your prediction, I'm almost 100% sure that Dabi dyes his hair to hide his identity. He has Toya's eye colour too.

This might be the worst episode so far when it comes to padding things out with flashbacks. I would be shocked if that whole bit with Endeavor's flashbacks was less than 5 minutes. Which is a shame because the stuff with the Todoroki family was really good. Problem is it took half the episode to get to it when it really didn't need to. Anyway, hope next episode is the end of this arc and we can finally get to MVA.

Ok, now I'm starting to get concerned.

I figured if they finished up the Endeavor Agency arc this episode, we'd be able to get a perfectly paced MVA adaptation for the last 8 episodes. But now it looks like we're only getting 7.

Why did they think it was a good idea to pad out half this episode with flashbacks? Not to mention, only adapting 14 pages of material for one episode is just unacceptable for a seasonal series.

Endeavor makes me ಥ﹏ಥ

I’m rooting for him, I really am. I hope he realises it takes more than just him realising his mistakes & actually acting on them to make it up to his family, through his words, actions, and time. It’s definitely going to take more than just doing the dishes lol. His character just hits a little too close to home.

Also. I’ll pretend those off-model!Shouto at the start didn’t happen. Jesus.....

Lmaooooooo @ Bakugou’s morning hair & morning face XD

Deku going Kaaachaaan~! every time he acts out never gets old. L O L @ “Don’t analyse the food!!!!!!!” Lololllllol

Flashback to Kacchan being the Master Eavesdropper. And I guess he really loves his mapo tofu LOL

Those who lash out are hurting too. Poor Natsu.....his pained expression when he was listening on to what Deku was saying to Shouto about him getting ready to forgive. Fuyumi has been trying so hard to hold the family together.....

I’ve also been spoiled to death on who Toya really is but I still can’t wait to get to it. Next episode on the unforgiven, damn these titles.....

I love how the entire fandom at this point is just like "JuSt waIT foR tHE Next ArK it wiLL BLow YoUR miNd Away" honestly I am finding this season really disappointing. Hope they are right.

Yeah the next 2 arcs are really solid & things get really intense from that point forward, in the manga my favorite arc happens prior to the endeavor arc after class a & b fights but they went a different direction with it & switched the order in the anime, which is a shame because certain parts won’t hit the same but I’m actually worried they might skip the arc completely or show it in flashbacks instead which would literally be the worst thing they could do. As long as they don’t completely drop the ball with the anime you should be in store for the best arcs yet back to back start with the end of this season or the beginning of next season. My suspicion is they switched the order of arcs to have a good finale for season 5 since the second half of season 4 sucked butthole after a pretty hype arc to start it.

This episode was good but I'm worried about pacing of the season overall, not many episodes left for the supposed "hyped MVA arc" to do much either being rushed or being cliffhanger'd. They using a lot of padding techniques with the flashbacks to drag things out.

Regardless, Todoroki's family drama brings some much needed depth to the series. You could cut the tension with a knife at the dinner table, Endeavor tried to get the gears running but Natsu wasn't having that. Fuyumi is basically holding the family together herself, it's a tough role in that type situation. Takes some strong mental strength.

Y'know it's bad when Bakugo himself is calling you out on stuff.

Oh yeah you could be right, the red hair kid are around same height as them ...
I didn't notice that.
But it could be the older brother are shorter, there is a possibility.
So idk lol.

Yeah especially the way Dabi called Endeavor by his real full name, must be a reason for that.
