Yeah, not much to this episode, but things should pick up now.
They can win partially. Deal real damage without destroying the heroes.
Peace.
Man, I wonder how other stories manage to do it then. Oh wait, they let the villain succeed at first, THEN defeat him.
🐧
First big group fight since season 1. Looking forward to class B especially, now that they also gain the stigma of being attacked by villains. I wonder where Shigaraki is? He hasn't been shown yet.
Episode 42
----------------------------
We've found a solution to Deku's problem. What's already broken can't be broken again, so let's use 100000000000000000% smashes on the broken arm!
Not having a believable way out of this fight made it a bummer.
If it's not Isuzu-chan Mii~
Extremely lame episode. Bs power up.
And villains fail.to accomplish anything AGAIN. Why should I be scared for our heroes because of this Team Rocket 2.0?
So they'll kidnap Bakugo, woohoo, so evil! Why didnt that one viain actually crush the blue catgirl's head? He's EVIL. Why not do it? Oh I know: because that'd be a small victory for evil. Can't let that happen :/
Did I miss an episode? Isn't only 1 of the 10 villains down?
Indeed. His hand is still all scarred up from when he had to double use his fingers against Todoroki. And healing girl specifically said she wouldn't heal injuries like that anymore.
So they're going after Bakugo because he's the most likely according to them to become a Villain?
If you showed me Muscle Villain's mug and told me he was Bakugo's dad, I'd believe you.

I think you guys should just stop watching action/adventure shounen altogether.
HXH is shounen, too, and didn't suck :/
The exception to the rule, which also at times fell into the same pitfalls you're complaining here about.
I thought the fight in this episode was quite exciting, BS and all that, but the emotion that came through as the action was being developed was very good.
I don't know man, using an arm despite it being broken (and having lost mechanical integrity) is like Sunrising from the dead. We overlook it mostly, but it's still a shit move.

I don't mind the way the arm thing played out so long as there is a price to pay down the road. His second 100% smash was weakened enough that he got trapped because the arm was broke by the first. That checks out. The turnaround was a combination of the kid's distraction and shounen resolve. It was not tactically satisfying, but to outright dismiss for that it is to dismiss other similar shounen power ups like Gon's nen-puberty, Rock Lee's effort, or every time Ippo stood back up, and I can't bring myself to do that. What kind of trick was he supposed to use against a discount All Might if not overpowering strength in that situation?
All Might overdid it in season one and got reduced by it, Midoria did the same thing in the tournament and has a crooked hand now, so I expect a similar fallout for this stunt. I'm actually more impressed that this whole fight was a single episode. Apparently, we've got things to do and places to go.
As far as the villain's victories, it is implied that the corpse guy ate Ragdoll (one of the pussycats), so that's a loss, right? We don't know what Dabi did to Aizawa. The Big-lipped dude seems to gain his striking strength by creating an attraction between an object (the stick) and a person, so someone right next to the stick has no room to build up the momentum for the lethal blow, if I'm spit-balling why he asn't killed her yet, along with the nebulous "anime time".
I'm still loving what MHA has to offer and don't feel that it has betrayed any expectations I've built for it yet.
Gon's spontaneous growth basically killed him/rendered him powerless. I'm sure Midoriya won't face any such consequences. Also Gon's growth happened towards the end of the anime and after he had mastered various nen-techniques. Midoriya is still a beginner, who got a powerup because ... because. It's similar to Ruffy's bs upgrade when he used gear 2 without any prior mention.
Rock Lee and Ippo are both boxers/martial artists who dedicated their life to their sports. It fits that they'd have a specially firm will.
Tbh if this season ends without some real accomplishiments for the villains (and I mean dead heroes, yes. And dead heroes that aren't All Migh, because his death is way too predictable), I'll drop this anime. S1 had me hooked, S2 already was lackluster.
Why are you assuming Midoriya won't face any consequences when he HAS faced consequences in similar situations? While it may end up being true, you really have a terrible habit of jumping into conclusions prematurely.
Also, I don't think the assumption that his "power-up" is out of nowhere, if we can even call it that. We already know that One-for-All in essence has a baggage of power passed down from people who have carried before him. In fact, prior to his shout we saw some of the foreshadowing that led to this supposed "power-up". We've already seen him seemingly access the presence of previous users to get out of jams in the past (not saying that's what happened here, but again it can fit).
Also, I think we're taking the 1,000,000% very literally. Obviously he didn't do such a thing or he would've destroyed the whole mountain at minimum. In my opinion it was nonsense he shouted at heat of the battle to illustrate that he was putting everything he had into it damn the consequences to go along with the new Delaware-Detroit combo with a mixture of nice adrenaline.
Healing Girl only said that to stop him from doing reckless things. This case is clearly an exception. If he didn't push himself, both he and the kid would be dead.
Peace.
He shouldn't actually have an arm anymore.

Wait, why?
Peace.
