A lot of old faces including Muscular's return this season. And damn, he looks like he wants to tear some shit apart.

I'd like to think this episode as his chance for revenge but luckily, he is captured again. I have to say, this Dark Hero arc is off to quite an intense start with a lot of attitude.

Man I feel sorry for those two heroes, particularly that guy. He has to take such life-threatening beating just so he could serve the stage for a flashy entrance.. for none other than our very own, Dark hero Deku-kun. But there's still someone who's even more pitiful than him.. yes that Muscular guy. Dude was fodder just so Deku can put on a presentation of his quirk lmao.

Anyway, the next few episodes are where this arc is good and this series was.. before it went to where it is right now. So hope they don't rush things through the good part.

Deku: "This is my full power"
Also Deku: Uses Full Cowl 45%

Deku's vibe is different now but I dig it. Him using the mask more and added Gran Torino scarf is adds to that vibe too. He really be becoming a badass lol.

Never ending plan to watch list...

Might be just me but after so many different series, I'm a little tired of this "oh i gotta leave my friends in order to spare them!" shtick. One way or another, it never works. And after so much struggling, suddenly Deku's in such perfect control of all his abilities, just because he had a chat in his mind, huh? Man, I wish things worked that way.

Deku isn't fucking around he trashed Muscular. 

"Don't get too stubborn with your belief. Sometimes, killing is a form of salvation. Keep that in mind"
Gran Torino saying some heavy lines, I wasn't expecting that. I won't get my hopes up for Deku going full Red Hood tho.

Really looking forward to seeing Lady Nagant based on that preview.

Deku's current stance reminds me of Numbuh T from Kids Next Door... but in a way more serious tone really. His new squad is even composed of 5 members. Talk about coincidences.

Here we go, the start of Deku's vigilante arc, and what better way to kick it off than with a rematch against Muscular. Unfortunately for this meathead villain, Deku is much stronger and more proficient with his powers, so yea, you're 0-2 now lol. The animation on that final blow was clean. 

We got Deku keeping himself on the move constantly to keep the ones he cares about out of harm's way, while also teaming up with All Might and the top 3 heroes. Quite the squad he's got backing him. Can't wait for Lady Nagant next episode.
People on MAL refuse to actually enjoy watching anime.

Your taste in anime isn't a personality trait.

MAL is literally just anime Twitter as its own website lol.

Vigilante Deku arc has now started, and it's off to a great start.

Deku's outfit looks amazing, and All Might looks drippy as well tbh.

Loved seeing Deku make quick work of Muscle Man. Just comes to show just how strong Deku has gotten. Can't wait to see how they flesh out the rest of the quirks he's gotten. Also, Deku is really trying to be Batman, he even uses smoke lmao.

We'll see Lady Nagant in animation. Another peak women. Hype :)

Deku vs Muscular. Not exactly the rematch I was looking forward to the most but it was still fun to watch.

Deku isn't the sole vigilante. He's got his team. That surprised me.

To be honest I am disappointed this was supposed to be one of the best fights in this season but it didn't give me the same feeling that I got while reading the manga. it just felt wrong, it felt like something was missing.

Next few episodes are worth the watch for sure. Deku's change of behaviour is quite exciting to see. Well, I'm just gonna wait for the best of the best to arrive. But as of now, Deku's fight against the Muscular man was pretty well done.

Deku using all his new quirks. A rematch that's long been desired by fans is finally here. Deku vs Muscular but this tike Deku won't wreck his whole body by going overboard like last time. Having a stronger body and knowing how to use One For All better Deku can easily annihilate scum like Muscular. I did like how Deku at least tried to reason with him. Going like hey is this really the only path you could've taken and once Muscular response a resounding yes so it's off to the beating. Some very slick animation moments as Deku saved Shindo and flung Muscular around with Blackwhip. The anime really did a great job showing how much stronger and more competent Deku has become. Unlocking these new quirks, fighting Shigaraki, realizing how serious things have become has all helped to change Deku. I liked how those stubborn civilians were moved by Shindo nearly sacrificing himself to help them. I understand they're not very trusting of heroes right now but his point about these jail breakers being psychopaths was very much reinforced after seeing Muscular nearly kill a kid. This younger generation can help the old stalwarts realize the true meaning of being a hero again. Deku deciding to go off on his own and leave him mom did get me teary eyed. His mom has seen him go through so much and after nearly escaping the fight against Shiggy with his life it's easy to see why Deku mom is saddened by him leaving. But with the top three heroes and All Might by his side things can hopefully start to get better thanks to Deku.

Poor Inko, I almost cried.

It feels like Deku matured a lot, maybe because of his calmness, but the cinnamon roll slowly becomes a man. It's sad seeing him and class 1A like that though, what wars and all those trauma do with kids... All of them seems so serious this season.

For some reason I thought Deku will be totally alone, but being in contact with the adults was suprising in a positive way. So he just left the class but didn't broke all his connections, that actually makes sense. I don't think we saw something like that before.

We got to see the new Deku in action here, and putting him against an old foe like Muscular was a good way to showcase how much stronger he is now, I also enjoyed seeing some familiar faces like Muscular and two students that stood out at the license exam, all these characters appeared in Season 3 which was the newest season when I got into the series for the first time so that was nostalgic lol. And that scene where Muscular was defeated swiftly by a Detroit Smash was really nice, loved the way the water was divided by the attack.

And I also really loved the scene between Midoriya and his mom, showing that scene from the first season where he was “saving” her as a kid and then showing where we’re at now hit kinda hard, this part of the season in general has made me reflect how far we’ve come mainly thanks to the ED song and visuals and this just enhanced that. And I also really like this trio of top heroes + Midoriya, they seem like a ragtag bunch but they’re here to get shit done. And I’m really looking forward to Lady Nagant next episode, been needing some more baddie waifus lol. And it just occurred to me, is she named that because of the Russian rifle Mosin Nagant? If so this makes me like her even more lol.

Just finished it. I’m still ugly crying from the moment he had with his mom. To be fair, I’ve always been a crier, but the fact that I have a toddler now made it worse. I can only hope that I can inspire her to do strong, amazing things with her life in ways I won’t realize until later.

Deku sure looks much more cooler now. Also, the fight between him and Muscular was awesome. I feel so bad for Deku's mom. She's so sweet and she cares so much about him. Almost want Deku to quit and live a happy life with his mom but he has a score to settle.

I had to drag myself away from play Hogwarts Legacy as ive been binging a bit, but anime is life!

Awesome eps. Totally understand Deku looking totally badass now, but this eps really shows his determination and why he left the class. Personally, I think it was so he could get some mad ass battle experience in his new outfit and looking cool.

On a side note I noticed the opening was quite desaturated in colour and give it a really cool vibe, so I dug out my tv control and turned down the satuartion on my tv. If it wouldn't take so long id be tempted to watch it all on the lower setting :D

Muscular got one-hitted by Deku only because Yo used his quirk on full power on him. Honestly, I don't know if Deku could defeat Muscular so easy on a clear 1v1.

Next episode PV visuals look great, seems like Bones saved big part of the budget for it.
