This reminded me, I was wondering what Midnight was trying to do. Popular media would suggest her powers are pheromone related and she was trying to calm them down?
I'm really curious about the two big guys in class A. Right now we still have no idea what they do. The guy wit the lips seems to be kung fu related but not sure about silent fish head.

What's the name of the bird dude with the Persona/Stand?
I want him to win, but I know he won't. Bakugo and Todoroki both hard counter him.

Tokoyami
He's so cool and earnest.
Most of the time I only notice it in the opening. I have to agree tho. It seems to be overused for no reason.

Dark Shadow seems to be pretty strong during the day. I bet he can take a 100% power Detroit Smash at night.
Can it even be hurt? It absorbed attacks from Bakugo and Kaminari with seemingly no damage in the chariot battle, and that was during the day. Seems like the only way to beat it is to take out Tokoyami himself.
It also had weakness to light, which is why it reacted to kaminari electricity and recoiled IIRC it just no one noticed until he told deku, so Todo and Baku would be a problem at least in the day
It's basically a Stand that doesn't affect the user when hurt.
Besides its weakness to light it comes out instantly and works as a great offense and defense. It has seems to have no discernible tax on the user also which is a rarity for quirks. If trained Tokoyami could easily be a top hero.

I do have to say I love the names of the characters in this series. They are basically all Japanese language puns.
His quirk is harder to control as it gets darker.
Most locations are named after Star Wars places as well.

First Ive heard of this when de he mention that maybe I forgot
During the Calvary to Deku while it gets stronger in the dark it's also harder to control and vice versa

This is the only anime i've seen where this is a thing. There's a new 2017 policy about it or what? not even Season 1 had this annoying effect.
I never notice it but i remember in one of the gaf threads that i starting to be pattern i don't notice it until i'm posting a gif. Could be a recent thing
Man this could make for some interesting fights with villains or so... can't wait.

So we know that the Hero Course entrance exam is pretty much bullshit and unfair for people with non-combat powers.
How did Red Eye teacher dude ever pass when Shinsou couldn't? Can't negate a robot's quirk.

Guys, it's clearly
1. Deku
2. Tokoyami
3. Tsu
He's good at combat regardless. Robots don't exactly have quirks, yeah, but neither do the negated supervillain, and Eraser Head was kicking their asses too. Major thing Shinsou wold need to improve on is also upping his basic combat training - remember, Eraser Head talked about how, quirks negated, Izuku beats Shinsou every time

Season 1 did use dimming in the TV broadcast version, and then removed it for the BD version. There's no new policy about it, but the amount of dimming used depends on the broadcast station's regulations and however the people editing the video decide to meet them - I have no idea what kind of criteria is being used here.
There are other schools besides UA, it is simply the best which would explain how people like Aizawa, Snipe(gun guy) since he couldn't bring it and incredibly minor spoilers
Midnight
Though it does have Invisible girl passing somehow
Yep his time to shine has yet to come...
Season one showed he has considerable hand to hand...just not suitable to be ganged up on.

Season 1 definitely had it. Watch the opening again.

Right when All Might shows up at the 1 min mark, the screen dims like crazy
I got spoiled on that moment.

It does?
Exam could have just been different when he was a student or he could have studied somewhere else.

It's been in a million shows (only during broadcast, not blu-rays), although seemingly a fairly voluntary policy that isn't entirely consistent.

Being a good hero doesn't necessarily come down to how strong you are, but rather, your ability to handle a variety of situations. Todoroki seems okay, but Deku's unrefined as fuck.

Ya in the first episode, they had that one pro just put out fires.

What I keep asking myself is how the invisible girl even got in the class.

Kaminari love is alive and well here. Im loving s2 thread.
Her invisibility is her natural state like Todoroki's bird-shaped head. She can't turn it off nor would Aizawa be able to stop with his quirk for example. It's merely a byproduct of her quirk which centers around light or reflection of light.

You mean Tokoyami [Dark Shadow]
The reason why it's so agressive is because it airs at the 5:30 Saturday time slot so a lot of kids are watching. Most anime airs after midnight so it's mostly older audiences.
Taking credit
Makes you wonder how her parents are. Are they invisible too? Has she ever saw her parents? I don't know how I can live knowing my parents could be right next to me and I'll never know.
Plus they'll be naked.

I'm so glad I started watching this show that happens to be animated by Studio Bones and Yutaka Nakamura especially.
It's episodes like this that make me proud to be an adult that watches anime.
I will never see anything like this in any medium. Such a work of art.
Listen, there are two types of people:
1) People who recognize that Deku is by far and away the best shonen protagonist in recent memory (and pretty much the best character in his own series)
2) People who are wrong
How many prominent new shounen protagonists are there anyways lol
