Man, that human tail is real gross. Not sure what kind of power that's meant to give him. Suppose it'd hurt if you got hit by it, but it also looks like a weak point.
So the recommended heroes were fire/ice guy, long ponytail girl, and two more right? Falcon seems like he has a power that would get him recommended, but who's the last one?
OK. I thought it was a hidden frontal tail =P
Still, that feels underwhelming compared to some of the other heroes. Though it seems that he might have some martial arts background based on his costume.
Actually, it seems a good number of them have some rather limited powers. Makes standing up to some of the more powerful classmates seem impossible.
Too bad it seems us anime watchers won't find out why he's so loved.
It looks pretty thick and meaty. I bet it has a lot of weight behind it when swung and can be used to do some neat maneuvers or tricks.
Though he better watch out for short Italian plumbers as they have a tenancy to grab tails and throw their owners into bombs.
The hair around the chest is just a design of his hero costume

It's basically a super flexible third arm that may be more powerful than his normal arms.
The tail itself is the power. It can essentially be used as a very powerful third arm. This makes Ojiro basically the martial arts guy.

Well, they can't, really. Not all heroes are created equal, not in terms of power at any rate. Still doesn't stop them from being great heroes, just means that in a stand-up fight some of 'em are gonna be hopelessly outclassed.
With this talk about his tail being a powerful third arm and such, and looking at that concept art for a length reference... why didn't he lunge it at ice-heat guy when he was walking right next to him as though he was a badass? He didn't even make use of his single unique element!

Mah man.
Because the dude has just frozen the entire building and at that point you just have to accept how outclassed you are.
Screw that I'm a
It's kinda reinforced by the other guys, upon Deku's return, saying that they had to give their 110% to match what he did, and that'd mean pushing yourself to your limits. Guess I might be too picky here, but it's a bit weird.
Stunned in the moment... Sure, I can buy that. You're right, freezing an entire building like it's nothing would probably leave me pretty awestruck, and then I'm disadvantaged face-to-face with the dude who did it. Then again, the protag definitely wouldn't have settled there, if only because of his attitude.
This was the first time they saw him using his quirk seriously, it was just to overwhelming. Even Bakugou admitted he was outclassed.
Her power is to seep acid through her skin, you'd be playing with fire.

Great episode, got to see the rest of the cast alot more (although I wish they gave more screen time past the 2nd battle, I really did want to see the Tsuyu and Tokoyami team.)
I like Bakugou being different, a constant recognized asshole, I just hope he doesn't stay the same entirely. Doesn't really have to involve him becoming more likable, but I just don't want him to just be the exact same dude throughout
Cause at that point it's GG. Dude just needs to move a little away after getting 1 good sucker punch
Really, it would only be sorta spiteful, no point to it anymore

The doctor in Episode 1/Chapter 1 mentions how you can get a mixture of your parent's quirk, and mutation quirks seem to easily mix with other quirks

The student who had extra limbs which he could grow body parts on was an interesting power. I hope we see him get more play later in the series, anime or otherwise.

tokoyami is great because he is a deliberate parody of the moody emo edgy character but is still infinitely likeable.
He actually did try in the manga too. But Bakagou brushed him off just as quick.
His name even contains the characters for "darkness" and "shadow", he's the best bird bro though!
Deku's just doing a combination of self-protection and being nice by trying to explain to Bakugou that he wasn't being a douche and hiding his quirk. That stops Bakugou from being a douche to him for the rest of time, you saw how angry he got from believing that Deku lied.

That scene was incredibly cringe in the manga too. Deku isn't particularly smart.
More like naive in that particular case. I mean, it's obvious Deku didn't know what the hell to say to Bakugou despite feeling guilty or bad in some way. So it sounds like Deku is just spouting nonsense. Even Bakugou was like, "The fuck are you talking about?"

I dont understand what people found cringeworthy in that scene? Why wouldn't you want to speak to your best friend after facing him in such an intense struggle. And then the last Midoriya saw was the look of pure horror and shock on Bakugo's face.

Don't see the cringe either. It was a pretty good scene.
Despite the flashbacks and emotional scenes that have lead Deku to believe he can now achieve his dream, giving him the conviction and courage he has sought, it's not the best thing to then see him constantly avert his gaze and suck up to someone who, for all intents and purposes, is a self-absorbed asshole who doesn't actually deserve that kind of treatment.
But other than that, maybe don't reveal your biggest secret out of nowhere like that? Saying something like "I can't tell you why, but I recently gained a quirk" would even be better than what he said.

The beginning of the manga was quite forgettable. Doesn't help that my memory sucks too.
5 more. Can't wait to see the rest of the anime. I didn't forget what's about to happen

Midoriya considering Bakugo as his friend at all is the problem to begin with
to be clear, it's a very particular, relatable teenage thing to have no idea who the right people to give a fuck about are, that's why it's cringe
This is how I saw it. Basically, he knows how Bakugou ticks.

Not a ton, but yeah, he has some pretty baller scenes.
best friend?
What power does the girl in red that was transferred have? Super strength?

Yeah, bruh
It hasn't been revealed yet. If you really want to know:
She can pull any inanimate object that she can think of out of her skin. That's why she's so exposed. She pulled those barricades they used to bar the door out of her skin.
don't worry about what DTL says
Her power won't be revealed until later, but it's
the ability to create any non-living object, provided she knows the exact chemical and structural make-up of that object. The object spawns through her skin, hence the skimpy outfit.

That makes me curious, has the author commented on civil war at all?

It's a pretty cool power and is great for setting up more strategic battles
let it go deets, let it go
Probably, but it's not like have his Twitter.
Probably because she's invisible.

Thinking about it now I hope people never make some lewd doujinshi with his power.

Been meaning to ask about that. Why is that?
I never read the manga, but I have seen pics of her a couple of times.
Also, to you think this comic sums up Bakugou's life up to now in a nutshell? Or am I exaggerating?
He's been saying all his life he's the best in the world, but seeing everyone else in their mock battles, including the ice guy, shows how far behind he is or might be.
