My Hero Academia S2 |OT| This is Going to Stain my Hero Record. No Manga Spoilers!!!
- Thread starter SalvaPot
- Start date
I'm just talking specifically about the fantasy ED universe where nobody appears to actually have powers, hence there being no need for Momo to wear a metal bra and no armour anywhere else
I appreciate the reference that this ED made, & the new OP is pretty good, too. Though the outro in particular was hilarious in how it got hijacked.
As for the episode itself, I'm glad that they didn't waste any time in having Midoriya master One For All (to an extent).

Holy shit that was a great episode, especially as an introduction for the new arc.
When the ED started and I saw an Island I was like "OMG are they doing an ending based on the Medieval Fantasy drawing Horikoshi did!?!?!?" My eyes grew wide when I first got my glimpse of Medieval Deku.
Bravo.

So Deku is doing what Goku did during the Cell saga in DBZ, when Goku trained to make Super Saiyan his natural state instead of an activator. Seems cool and makes more sense to treat it that way instead of being explosive with it.
Boring but necessary, as are most training episodes. It had a good setup for what comes next.

Great episode - and great looking, too. It's a quiet setup episode but everything that happened was interesting and it set up a few mysteries to be resolved later on.

New song is better than peace sign and the day.
Especially during the chorus when the kid goes over it

Really like the new opening and ending.
The episode was good, loved seeing Gran Torino and was cool seeing Best Jeanist animated.
Also, like some of the new ost.

Momo's bikini armor is inexcusable.
That aside, I enjoyed this episode and the ED. Seeing all the different characters at their internships, even if it was only for a short montage, is definitely something I appreciate.
(The girls still need more screen time, though.)
As for the OP, I have no strong feelings about it one way or the other.

The new OP doesnt stop the trend of the series getting worst and worst OPs as it goes on, I fear for s3. I like the group but this wasnt their best song, in their previous anime it was awesome as well as the other version on the ost that was more of an acoustic street side version.
I liked Shigaraki screentime in the episode, he needs more as hes like the series best antagonist. And he did the best preview lololol. I love his voice.
Kiri x Testsu x 4 was such a good moment and Shoto and Endeavour, please give more scenes of both groups anime, please.
The ED, lol Kaminari

Yup, same here, no complaints.
Love Gran Torino & they found a great voice for him.

Really don't like the new OP, wasn't much of a fan of the last one either, the new ED is great though.
It's a shame, Season 1's OP was great, but they get worse and worse each time, both in the song and the visuals.
At least the show isn't getting worse!

You cracked the code, the show is sucking the life out of its own OPs to get better!

A top the covers her breasts but leaves a large open midriff all the way around would make more sense than her actual hero outfit, the small boob/belly window in her outfit isn't really all that practical for her quirk.
In that ED I don't think anyone has their quirks though, and there is no practical application for that armor that she has in the ED, it provides no actual protection, it's just a dumb "sexy" costume.
Gran Torino lowkey becoming my fav character, he's funny and serious when he needs to be
No chill old guy lol
omg

New OP does nothing for me. I can like the new ED just for the setting though.
Also this was what the ED was based on:
Most of the characters roles are pretty obvious (Ochaco as a witch, Katsuki & Eijiro are barbarians, Tenya's a knight), but is Tsuyu supposed to be a bard/inn keeper? And what about Izuku?
He is an adventurer. Fitting because he is the MC.
Tsuyu's a bar wench. Izuku's wearing merchant garb, but it also works as a stand-in for a generic hero outfit. (Dnno about those shoes, though...)
Ah, thank you both for clarifying. I forgot to mention this, but I love assassin/rogue Mashirao and fencer Denki. Fumi as a wizard/shaman is pretty fitting.
And I find it funny that people are annoyed with Momo's outfit (I have no clue what she's supposed to be), despite Mina's (Warrior?) costume is just as revealing.
what, you ain't never seen a pair of ye olde sneakers?
I don't have anything against revealing costumes. I just hate bra armour because it has literally no application whatsoever.
Revealing costumes at least are easy to move in, but a metal bra has all the disadvantages of regular armour plus also it doesn't actually protect you much at all

To me I feel like Izuku is the 'Novice' class from RO.
Ochako is a sorceress
Tenya is a Knight
Shoto is a Prince
Bakugo is a... Barbarian/Dragon Tamer(?)
Kirishima is a Rogue
Tsuya is a Bar Maid
Ashido is an Amazon
Aoyama is a... Paladin(?)
Ojiro is a ninja
Kaminari is an Archer
Kyoka is a.... Huntress(?)
Tokoyami is a Warlock
Yaoyorozu is a.... Warrior
I honestly can't make out anything for Mineta
Ochako is a sorceress
Tenya is a Knight
Shoto is a Prince
Bakugo is a... Barbarian/Dragon Tamer(?)
Kirishima is a Rogue
Tsuya is a Bar Maid

I get that, but Mina's amazon outfit is just as impractical. I'm pretty sure that singular breast plate is going to do jack squat against any sort of blow.
Your guesses are close to mine:
Izuku - Merchant/Adventurer
Ochaco - Witch/Sorceress
Tenya - Knight
Shoto - Noblemen
Katsuki - Barbarian/Dragon Tamer
Eijiro - Rogue
Tsuyu - Bar Maid/Inn Keeper
Mina - Amazon
Yuga - Fencer
Mashirao - Assassin/Ninja
Denki - Archer
Kyoka - Huntress
Fumikage - Warlock
The only ones I can't figure out are Momo, Minoru, & Hanta. I assume Momo is a warrior, but it's a vague guess.
I thought it might be more like an archer's leather chest guard
I can't remember any other character wearing boob armor that I've liked, but I love Momo sporting it. Although I'd probably like any ridiculous outfit she or other HeroAca's female characters would be wearing simply because I love all of them both for their looks and personalities. Hero Academia might be the first shounen series with 5+ female characters where I couldn't find a single one with a "meh" design (to my taste).
Maybe it's just me, but it's much easier and quicker to pull something from the chest area than from your abdomen. So to maximize practicality you'd leave both areas open: you have arms/legs for the quickest pull of small or thin objects, chest area for the quickest pull of medium-sized objects and midriff for the least convenient pull of bigger objects.

Both the new OP and ED are great.
I actually imagine that his quirk was great for taking down the mock-villains in the exam.
Doesn't change the fact that he's such an irredeemable sleeze ball.
But he's a sleezeball with talent ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)
