#be the same

“20-40 male demographic” haha ooh boy that’s some real Truth in Television. I guess All Might had more fans in the 14-80 female demographic. Though Endeav would probably have fangirls if he didn’t wear that stupid fire mustache all the time. I’m just saying. Todoroki’s looks didn’t come from nowhere.

This other perspective thing is interesting. That “here’s how those words strike those on the wrong side of the law” idea.

Wow that was lame. These Pro-heroes really are kinda subpar compared to the average Class 1-A student, aren’t they? We need them to hurry up. 

“Reservoir Dogs” Good God how much American pop culture is Horikoshi aware of?!?! That one’s a little more obscure than Spider-Man. 

Ooh, Giran and Twice! The most recent arc of the manga turned them into a ship, and a totally plausible one, so nice to see.

Todorokis, man. Don’t do anything halfway (Still not confirmed, dammit.) 

Twice’s backstory. is pretty interesting, in how it plays on that whole theme of Imitation. 

Trying to be exactly like someone else is always a doomed enterprise, because you can never truly be the original, and a copy is always less durable. Hence the dangers of excessive imitation as such an over-arcing theme.  

OVERHAUL. THE OST. Season 4 is gonna be intense, ya’ll. 

“Knowing who you are is important. Amen to that Hori. 

Ooh Deku is looking good as usual. And look, he didn’t break his arms this time! Fighting Kacchan is so good for him. 

Class 1-A again! You know, we’ve kinda developed this habit in the manga of cutting away from them for a really long them, and then seeing them again for like, 2 chapters of cameos. I’m starting to really miss them, every time they do this.

Haha Monoma lol. Just wait for the Joint Training Arc, Class 1-B. You won’t be laughing so hard at Kacchan then. 

Shinso! Yay! Also Sero says basically “wow, have you been working out?” which makes me think he’s as attracted to Shisno as I am. 

No place to sit? Throughout the whole opening ceremony? Wow, that sucks.  

I feel for them. Presentations where people don’t get to the point really annoy me. 

Good thing Deku and Kacchan skipped this presentation, actually. Neither one of them needs yet another guilt trip about taking All Might down (or so they think). 

It turns out it’s just a means to segue into introducing Mirio to the audience. (My first thoughts on this scene: Oh boy someone else to make my Best Boy feel inadequate. Well, I guess we just defanged Kacchan, so someone has to take over.) 

Oh, speaking of the lovers’ spat… 

Hey Momo, way to be considerate of Deku and Kacchan’s feelings.  

Nejire ships Mirideku. 

Ashido! Always great to see her. (Next season, ya’ll. She’ll get her due) 

All Todoroki is doing is watching Momo while she talks and I still think this is a Todomomo scene. 

“WHY DID I WORK SO HARD AT THE SPORTS FEST THEN?” Cause it was awesome, Uraraka! Why else? 

I kinda think they should’ve just let the agencies come to them anyway. I mean, the agency offers meant there was tons of competition anyway, so why not cut out the middleman?  

I feel ya Deku. Always feel this way whenever I miss a class.

Aizawa could not have devised a more perfect punishment for these two overly diligent students. They will never break curfew again. 

Mirio is such an eccentric oddball in this scene. He isn’t really like that anywhere else as far as I can tell, so I guess this was just to give him a memorable introduction. 

Wow he’s really incorporating that angry Kacchan energy into himself isn’t he? 

GODDAMIT MIRIO WHYD’YA GOTTA GO STEALING MY OTP’S OST FOR YOUR INTRO? Seriously, I’m a little confused. Why does the Big 3 get the “Katsuki and Izuku” OST for their intro? 

Buff Tintin, Nice Sasuke and Blue Elf will now apparently show our kids how it’s done.

Episode 62 is an interesting choice, since it takes a scene from an earlier Manga chapter and puts it together with later ones (the Twice stuff popped up right in the middle of what, in the anime, is episode 60. But they wanted to get to DVK2 ASAP). As a result, it’s a little oddly paced, but still decent. In some ways, I think DV2K should’ve been the season 3 finale, with the events of the Big 3 being the wrap-up (just like in Season 2), but i’m fine with how it is.

BKDK CORNER:

They’re so domestic here it’s not even funny. Straight out of a fanfic I swear to god. 

Look at that lingering look. Take a good look, Kacchan. You’ll be missing him for about 40 chapters after this.

(I probably won’t be able to do the corner for the Internship arc in Season 4, sadly, unless they throw in some filler. I’ll have to wait for S5 for more animated BKDK antics, besides that one moment in between arcs in Chapter 168.)

Best Girl of the Episode: Pony Tsunotori!

RANKER: The Big 3 Ranked

3. Nejire Hado - I love her personality, but we don’t get to see a lot of her quirk in action, sadly.

2. Mirio Togata - He’s lovable for sure, but he’s held back from my goodwill for being Deku’s supposedly better replacement.
