We're finally back! Now that the students of UA have gotten that whole Overhaul business behind them, it's time to get back to the stuff that really matters: school testing! It's 1-A versus 1-B in a fight for all....the....well I guess just full marks.

It's every Saturday, starting today!

Characters


Izuku "Deku" Midoriya (Daiki Yamashita, Justin Briner)
Quirk: One For All
After his internship with Sir Nighteye and learning that Mirio was the first candidate for One For All, Deku had his doubts, but he's more than proven himself the worthy successor to All Might.


Toshinori "All Might" Yagi (Kenta Miyake, Chris Sabat)
Quirk: One For All Quirkless
All Might's settling into retired life, still acting as UA faculty and leaving the hero duties to the new generation of heroes. And Endeavor. But gently caress him.


Katsuki "Lord Explosion Murder" Bakugo (Nobuhiko Okamoto, Clifford Chapin)
Quirk: Explosion
Bakugou is still Bakugou, I suppose. We'll get through to him eventually. He's the only one outside of Deku and All Might who knows about One For All.


Tomura Shigaraki (Kōki Uchiyama, Eric Vale)
Quirk: Disintegration
This guy just kinda up and disappeared after the whole Overhaul thing! I wonder what he's up to.

I'm not posting anything that they haven't put in the promo art or trailers. He's central in the promo art, so I put him in.

Yeah, it's worth noting that Horikoshi was having some pretty big health problems during this arc in the manga. So if things seem a bit off that's probably a factor

The chapters at this time were about half length as well, which might be why the anime is trying to pad things out a bit.

It's also weird how Mirko's Japanese voice actress didn't seem to be credited in her appearance last season so we had to wait a whole drat year to find out who voices her.

I kinda get how they might want to have the next arc be its own season and having it directly lead into the arc after this one would be better than having this as a weird interlude, but come on.

This is also fair since season 4 kinda ended right in the middle of an interlude arc itself.

No, but the production quality has sometimes taken noticeable dips due to many of the staff being busy with the movies.

The thread title was half a joke. Heroes Rising takes place during the Villain Academia arc, with Endeavor having his scar, Hawks being here, and the good doctor making a small appearance, but it was nothing super important. It was just funny that all that was happening while the anime itself was on season 3.

Waffleman_

I don't wanna I don't wanna I don't wanna I don't wanna!!!

It's set during the Endeavor arc, which is why the arcs got shuffled around to tie into the Japanese release.

- I'm not opposed to Deku getting more quirks, but I thought the pacing of Black Whip was extremely weird. He says "my gosh, there's no way I could possibly control this yet" and then spends a week with Endeavor basically just running around behind him and can now suddenly be confident about snatching a bunch of cars out of the air and lowering them to the ground.

This is a little less egregious in the manga, where the Endeavor stuff comes after the villain arc, so some real world time passes before returning to it.

It's definitely more than a week, yeah. Also the whole-rear end movie somehow takes place during it.

Also UA is a three year school, Mirio and the others are third years. They're talking about becoming second years and having a class under them. The series at this point is close to the end of their first year, which is what the talk of exams is referring to.

Yeah, Horikoshi had a statement at Jump Festa where he said that if all went planned, the manga would end in about a year. There's probably a good two or three seasons left of content to adapt.
