    The obstacle course had no rules other than staying on course right? Why didn't Todoroki just freeze everyone in the tight tunnel starting area..? Sure, he might accidentally kill some of them, but the teachers are there to save them before too many kids die. At least that filters most of the contestants.

    Izuku winning with no powers was nonsense, but that has been consistent with the rest of this show. I've always complained about how events are logic defying and don't even follow the rules the story sets for itself (Insta-heals, Bakugo fight, and now enduring explosions that can throw you hundreds of feet), but I have come to accept this as the show's style. It's not an oversight but a willing sacrifice to make cool and heart-pounding scenes, and as long as it is able to achieve that, I can overlook it.

    All true. For all the "malice" some of the Group B (and other) guys had, they certainly went about this calmly. I expected them to gang up on the Hero Class fellows since that's what weaker groups do against strong individuals - gang up.

    More importantly, given that Bakugo's power essentially allows him to fly, and all of the obstacles could easily have been flown over, why didn't he just fly the whole way?

    That "style" being, "a clever plan will beat huge magic powers". And that's a style I'll always get behind.

    Fun stuff.

    I'm curious if blond guy's quirk is allowing him to effortlessly steal everyone's headbands, or if everyone is just being inexplicably oblivious.

    Am I the only one who finds this whole "cavalry game" super ... weird? Carrying others and running around like that .. wat.

    And it kinda feels bad seein Asui competing against Midoriya. That´s my ship, goddamit!!1

    Anyway, cool episode. Although I´d like to know why black Falco Lombardi so easily agreed to join Midoriya´s team.

    I wish there was more to talk about, but there were some good elements this episode. I like that other classmates get an opportunity to shine.

    Speaking of shine: What exactly is that one guy´s ability again? You know, the one who thinks he´s a super star but apparently has no useful ability?

    You talking about the guy who shoots a laser out of his stomach?

    He gets stomach aches. Judging from the he's carrying, he's been using it plenty.

    Falco was fine joining teams because he wasn't hung up on beating Izuku. Remember what they said this episode about "Sometimes you have to peg each other down a few notches, and sometimes you have to work with those you don't necessarily like?" He figured there's more to gain by working with Izuku than against him.

    I reckon ice guy not using his left hand (flame) is going to be his downfall here.

    It's because it proves that Izuku respects him, and Hatsume. They both get a chance to show off defending the person who is going to be attacked the most. Ochako is simply nice...but her jealousy of Hatsume is funny.

    Episode 18

    --------------------------------------









    I've never played cavalry before, but when the bands are all stacked around your neck, surely it's easier to grab them all than to single out particular ones (if that's even possible).

    I'm still confused about Deku's powers. I chalked his limb breakages earlier to be from not "using his powers properly", but more and more we're being told that it's about him going either 100% or 0% with no grey area in between, such that his body can't take the reciprocal forces. That's what was reinforced today where he went 100% against air without major injuries.

    So then how does All-Might beat the shit out of villains? The human body can only take so much force on its own. You can't fight at 40% forever and expect to get good. There has to be some insane (read: superpower-esque) type of body adaptations going on that will let Deku fight like All Might. Simply putting brakes on his power isn't the whole story.

    Good episode. Black Falco continues to be my favorite hero. Can I please have a video game with him as the hero? Thank you.

    I liked how none of the three favorites succeeded in the end. Bakugo didn't get first place. Ice-Burn wouldn´t have gotten a band strap without Lida´s help. And Midoriya would have been Game Over without Black Falco.

    Looking forward to single activities, though.

    Yeah Midoriya's body just isn't used to that power. I think All-Might once said that it takes a long time to get a body that can handle it perfectly. Right now he has the super human strength without the super human durability. Sure you can destroy a wall with a punch but you'll also break your arm.

    I like how Bakugo's personality, which was infuriating to me when he was portrayed as almost a villain in the early episodes, has become hilarious to me now that he's a frustrated good guy.

    I'm not sure he went 100%. He can't actively control his power (and I wonder if he ever will considering he's not even trying), but I believe he might auto-control it subconsciously as long as there could be a human victim (he's not a human himself but a deku, so his own wounds don't count). If he had use full power just on empty air so close to half'n'half's face, we would have seen a dude bleeding from his ears at the very least, probably worse.

    I was already hoping Midoriya would drop out, but when he finally got over himself and used his power, I was again hoping for his success. It would have been such bullshit if he had bullshitted himself through without using a quirk at all, against such competent competition.

    @Buff - The fact that Deku didn't grab them all is another example of this show's drama over logic tilt. It was intentional, not an oversight.

    The stupidest part is that the enemies actually bragged about switching the positions of the bands...

    Deku didnt grab the wrong one. Ice-Fire guy intentionally played the band straps differently.
