And that's it? How did she even manage to enter the school? Or prove she was the one who destroyed the robots?
I honestly believe she is supposed to be some kind of a mystery running gag.
Like everyone just goes "what DOES she do? How DID she become a hero??" and we never get the answer
Maybe she got a special pass thanks to her unique ability. There got to be special rules for Quirks that are not generally useful in combat, but otherwise helpful. Just think at the cooking hero or even Aizawa. At the age of Deku he probably didn't have his special wires or body strength to take down a robot. But his quirk is actually amazing, even if not very suitable to destroy robots.

Really unfortunate that I jumped into this right after HxH, as I had a steady stream of episodes to binge with the latter. One week drips are killing me.
This is really scratching the Hunter itch though.

The robots have tiny off switches.

I find myself a lot of weeks thinking 'they better not end before X' and then they end before X. Overall I'm pretty happy with this show so far, though. I really think the music is a big factor in why I like the adaptation so much.

The Robots are actually apparently relatively recent, something they started doing to cut down on injuries. Aizawa could have come up through the system back when they had human examiners, or he might not have gone to Yuuei at all; he's supposed to have been something of a rogue vigilante, at least a little.

It would be nice if Deku's planning and notebooks played a bigger role like the do in Baby Steps. Maybe I should just rewatch Baby Steps

That was a great episode, PLUS ULTRA!
My Thoughts Exactly.
Is it ever explained why Kachan hates Deku so much?
Like... its not a mild dislike or annoyance. He actively hates Deku, for some reason. Yet, it looks like they once were friends.
So... did something happen?
(You can answer in a spoiler tag)
Tbh, I'm surprised a hero academy would let a known bully who assaults innocent people into their prestigious academy.

Bakugou is a completely irredeemable piece of shit
There is NOTHING positive about him. He is a total psychopath and how anyone can even associate with the guy is beyond me.
He can't even say a single sentence in a conversation without calling someone else a loser or saying how "amazing and great" he is.

So far I really love that even though Bakugo is a super-gifted trainee (as is usually the case with the anime rival trope), he's not constantly fawned over by the other students. Unlike Sasuke, people don't just let his dickishness slide, and it seems more students are favoring Deku instead.
Fairly soon.
It makes total sense too, Kacchan is not behaving like a hero, Deku is, doesn't matter he seems to be less powerful, the other characters like him because he is heroic, Kacchan is not and people have called him out on it.
Just like how it would be in a real class!
Well, not exactly like that, but much closer to actual reality than most other high-school anime
At this point I'm questioning if he even wants to be a hero, or if he's just going through the course with the psychopathic desire to just have a license for causing destruction and fighting enemies.
I'm hoping the academy is structured enough to not give Bakugo Castle free reign to fuck up the city in the name of justice. If at some point a villain's academy is introduced and he defects, it'll be the most eye-rolling non-shocker ever.

manga spoiler answering Tuck's question
Iirc
he has a massive ego after being praised for being so awesome as a child. He fell in a river and Deku tried to help him up. He hated Deku's eyes since he felt like it was pitty and he has a ego problem.
As far as we know that's it.
As for the robots, if they couldn't detect her she could easily deactivate them.

Fun fact invisible girl is basically nude whenever she goes full invisible so mha has nudity every week.

This has always been my biggest problem with the series. This isn't the Hunter x Hunter world where no one gives a shit. We actually got a standard sense of morality here.

That would be terrible, we'd have to wait until the season is over to even start watching it.

If we are talking Part 1 Sasuke he wasn't really a dick. He more or less kept to himself. Bakugo is just the worst though, from what I've seen of him, he would be better off as a villain.

Nothing happened this episode and I honestly have zero idea why I watched it. I knew from the previous "next time on Hero Academy X" that the fight wouldn't be resolved.
Why do I torture myself so?

I really don't see why you guys are so certain Bakugou is a future villain. He's a bully, yeah, but that doesn't mean he's a villain. Being bad in one aspect doesn't mean you spiral down into infinite evil.
Comics do have characters switch for petty reasons, but that's not a thing in MHA.

Bakugo was actually pretty good at making sure he didn't get in trouble. Remember when he was complaining in the first episode that his friends were going to do something that could get him in trouble? (Right before the slime monster attacked him).
I just assume he is a current member of the Uchihara clan.
As long as he has no magical eye powers.

That gives us more indications about the inconsistencies in the world, or at the very least some glaring differences in morality. The guy scared Deku with his incredibly dangerous quirk right in front of a teacher who did nothing and later told the guy to kill himself likely because he knew Deku wouldn't tell anyone. It's also possible people don't give a shit when quirkless people are bullied, meaning it wouldn't have mattered even if Deku did tell.
Or maybe Japan is just that fucked up when it comes to bullies and that's exactly how it would go down there if super powers existed.

Ding ding ding. Really should have been disciplined for using his power in class right at him. He's seen as a golden child because of his power.
She's also naked. Canonically.
This isn't even a Japan-only thing.
In general Asia, even where I live (India), it's prestigious to "produce" a child or student who accomplishes great things, because those achievements are attributed to the teacher or parent.
So promising students have their flaws overlooked, exactly like Bakugou does. Don't want people blaming you or his parents, do you? And that's why Deku's mom looks so depressed early on, his "failure" is her failure too.
That's why MHA is written as it is, it's motivation to the children (and adults) that read Shounen Jump.

I'm still not sure invisible girl's power is to turn invisible. It might just be her form like Crow boy, pink alien, and the other guy. I wonder what her actual power is.
If her power was to turn invisible, you wouldn't think it would be on all the time. If it was her power it might be funny to see how she actually looks with Aizawa looking at her.

I wonder what she'd look like if Aizawa took away her quirk
That... is a really good question. I can't believe I've never thought of that.
Just don't try in combat because yeah.
He can only disable activated quirks.
There's a division between "activated", "automatic", and "form" quirks, yeah.
One for All is an activated quirk, you need to consciously turn it on, and it can be turned off.
Zero Gravity is an "automatic" quirk, if Uraraka touches anything with all the fingers of her hand, it loses gravity. You can see her not touch anything with all fingers in the manga.
Frog is a "form" quirk, Tsuyu looks like a frog because she's a frog-person.
Inherited quirks can fuse, and form quirks seem to fuse easier than others. Bird Bro and Rock Head Guy have quirks that have nothing to with how they look, they just have secondary form components to it.
Aizawa can deactivate activated and automatic quirks completely, but can't fully deactivate form quirks.
Oh right, forgot.
Well what if
All For One
What I really never got was how she passed the entrance exam when her Quirk has no apparent offensive utility at all.

Doesn't read OPs, especially not his own
So I think Deku's costume mask looks better here in the anime than in the manga.
Strike while the iron is hot I guess.
