what is this strange ritual

i don’t know why i’m surprised that he’s so much taller than deku

Great way to start a conversation.

O-kay...? Why is this suddenly so important?

Not the greatest people person, this one.

This part in the opening is funny because it looks like Todoroki looks over to see some of his classmates and a clone of himself.

oh my fucking god

everyone else has got some kind of forward motion in their pose and then there’s him

that suits makes him look hilarious

So it’s a variety of contests that narrow the contestants down and ends in a one-on-one battle.

Is it too early to make predictions on who’s gonna make it to finals? Dunno how many can even be in the finals but my guess is:

Deku and Todoroki are a given, as well as Kacchan. 

Iida or Ochacho, but not both. I’m leaning more towards Iida. 

Momo, definitely.

Alright, now he’s making everyone hate your class. Or him, more specifically.

iida that’s not helping

So, he’s nervous and defaults to being a dick because he doesn’t know how to deal. Except he’s not reveling in it because he doesn’t really believe what he’s saying. Cool.

Well, Todoroki is exceptionally frightening.

Episode 15.

His skill level is far above and beyond everyone else, yet it makes a lot of sense if his dad is indeed Endeavor. He’s apparently solved the most crimes in history, and probably would be the top hero if All Might wasn’t around. Though, Todoroki is kind of a jerk, and I don’t yet understand what his issue with Deku is yet. Jealousy doesn’t really seem like his thing, especially not with how skilled he is, so I don’t think it’s that. 

He said his “stupid old man” is watching, so maybe he just has something to prove to his dad? And is taking that out on Deku, because he has All Might watching over him? I dunno.

As for the rest of the episode, the beginning was mostly build-up for the Sports Festival, but now that its begun I’m really excited! I can’t wait to see what everyone is capable of. 

Also that kid who hates sleep is a little scary too, to be honest, especially since he seems to be able to mind control people.

Hey, that’s not too bad.

Mm, yeah, that’s about what I expected.

If this is all about showcasing these kids quirks allowing them to use their power however they can is pretty fair.

lookit all these cgi and copy pasted children

are they all going out through this one door?? that’s a recipe for disaster

oh my god they actually called him that

Okay, that’s super sweet.

Ya know, wanting bad things to happen to other people for your own personal gain usually makes you a bad person.

...Todoroki? He was one of the recommended students, so it makes sense they’d take the child of a prolific Pro Hero.

Does that mean his mom has ice powers? That’s pretty cool, getting both of your parent’s quirks, split right down the middle.

Momo was recommended too, right? Are her parent’s pros as well?

*GASP* IS HER DAD BEST JEANIST

he can turn everything into jeans, she could probably make jeans if she wanted to, it’s perfect

then starve

“hot”? your standards are so low

Ah, yes. So clearly it makes sense to just crowd around the doorway and stare at them. That’s the best way to scope out the competition.

On the one hand, yeah that’s rude and annoying.

But, to be fair to Kacchan, these other students are also being rude and annoying. 

Hey, its that kid who hates sleep. I guess you’re an antagonist this season.

Are you not in the hero course? You’re in the opening.

Ohhhhhh, okay. I get it. 

I was (still, somehow) under the impression that everyone in this school was just here to learn to be a hero. I forgot there were other courses that weren’t hero related.

So if students get to be transferred into the hero course, does that mean others get transferred out?

we’ll if i’d just wait a literal second i’d have my answer

what in the absolute fuck

I guess his quirk is mind control?? That’s pretty fucked.

That is way more competent than I expected out of Mineta, not gonna lie.

you didn’t even say anything this time and you still deserved that

OH

Okay. These are the obstacles in the obstacle course. Got it.

Of course it wouldn’t be hurdles or mud puddles.

oh jesus fucking christ
