Glad to see Teru making some friends. I think she and Iko an get along well given the latter's bright personality.

This episode kinda makes Teru fit in with the group even if she's more shy than the others. However, I do find more Iko more entertaining to watch so far. Hopefully Teru starts to grow out of her shell. I mean, she is already getting into photos and hanging out with her comrades so there's chances. What a cliffhanger!

Teru and Iku are cute together. ^^ With all that blushing, they are like Umika and Yuu from Hoshikuzu Telepath, haha.

And the plot is getting even more interesting.

Shy vs. Stardust. Interesting.

A good transition episode with a more light hearted first half where Teru and Koishikawa got to bond a little, and we got to see Koishikawa's kindness a little. Stardust seems like an interesting character as well, though I do hope he isn't just a one-note antagonist-like character that's just Shy's opponent here and nothing more. Seeing that he's a hero, I would imagine he'll be able to teach Teru some things through a duel.

Teru and Iko are hanging out together, though her once injured leg got better thanks to the side effect disguise of the curse.

As thanks, Iko treats her for a day out, but of course, she doesn't know that Teru is a NEET while the latter tries to speak up. Iko's basically the only person outside of the heroes knowing that Teru is Shy and takes a detouring bringing a lost child back to his parents. Iko even knows of Stardust like a fan, but Teru getting a call from Spirits to teleport her back to the heroes' spaceship with said guy who represents Britain as its hero.

Teru accomplishing the fact that the cursed ring is still intact from this Stigma, and both her and Iko follow up to the spaceship while Unilord/Yunicchi is just cooking meals in her spare time. For Iko, it feels like she's meeting all sorts of heroes being the typical fan, and with Stardust's arrival, they can finally talk about Stigma and the completed ring, which this is the first time it's appeared in its full form, which can cause a great deal of calamity. As to why Stardust is here, Yunicchi tasks him to work with Shy to route Stigma out, though it comes with its consequences as well.

For a start, some training with Stardust will prove that Shy has what it takes should Stgma reappear again, and this would serve as good battle practice and experience. And no matter what, the work of a hero is never done until evil's been dealt with.

I like Stardust's realism towards being a hero, to be fearless and ruthless, is what it means to be one.

Stardust seems like an interesting character. Makes sense a veteran hero who seen some stuff wants to give the rookie a taste of reality. This will be good for Shy and I'm looking forward to seeing hero's using their powers against one another.

Ha yes, Teru and Iko's totally not a date chapter. I really like that part, the relationship between these two characters is cute and it's a nice transition from the seriousness of last episode. I also really like how Ebio is part of the date because they are not in the manga and I like seeing more of that character and also because they replace the narrator. We also finally see Stardust, I love him.

I got the feeling that Stardust's description as a psychopath was just a joke or an exaggeration, but then he goes and says things like "I cut it" and really means it. Hopefully he won't be too brutal with Shy.

Considering I literally switched to shy directly after watching this weeks episode of stardust telepath I couldn’t agree more.

Teru and Umika are very similar.

God dam I’m loving this show. I never thought I would enjoy a superhero show I typically hate those kind of things.

The whole vibe of this show has been great so far and the villain stigma is creepy af.

Iko is definitely a major superhero fangirl

That cliffhanger genuinely annoyed the hell out of me. I was ready to see Shy and Stardust fight.

This I definitely my favourite thing out of the many other shows I’m watching this season and Teru is a great mc.

So Iko is powerless (for now) but a hero to the common people and able to do things Shy can't, as an "extrovert." While Shy is a superhero who can do physical acts Iko can't but an introvert.

While the plot hasn’t hit its stride quite yet, I’m loving how it’s going at its own pace regardless. We had two very focused episodes and then the third was breather + set-up for Shy vs. Stardust.

I’m excited to see some of the animation flair to return from episode 1 in the next episode.

So her legs got fixed as a side effect from the ring. I hope there aren't any bad side effects on her. Now Shy gotta fight hard to earn their approval, good luck girl. I enjoyed watching the two of them this episode.

I‘m kinda skeptical of Stardust; even before the psychopath/acting scene it felt like planting red herrings for him to be villainous. Then add on the antagonism/pragmatism with challenging Shy. It could be a smokescreen or a deeper darkness in his own heart. We’ll see!

While I like Teru I thought Iko acted more as a hero when she helped the kid out that got lost in the mall. On that note hopefully Stardust gives Teru a good lesson in both fighting and gaining confidence. Also, it was nice to see Ms. Pepe again, she makes me laugh.

I have two problems with this

1. The fire power appearing i so sudden, there was literally nothing on the history that refers to shy have this power, well, unless she even so lost the battle, there is really no very bad but it was strange

2. Teru don't have nothing reason for say that she say's, everithing appear out of nowhere only for make a attemp of epic and emorional moment but it doesnt work, also her motivation of " i have people arround me that supports me" its one of the most genericselements in the anime

Loved this episode! We got some really cute and just wholesome moments in the first half and some more serious stuff in the second (with some more cute stuff sprinkled in lol). And we've got a big fight coming up with Stardust, and I think we can understand why seeing as Shy really doesn't seem that skilled with fighting. It looks like things are going to get rough though, as it looks like Stardust won't be holding back

Quite a cute and inspiring episode with grim cliffhanger at the end.

I got to see lots of Shy (Teru) and Iko's adventure. Teru is finally outside and trying her best to be with her new found friendship!
I've got to say. Iko's voice is somehow familiar, it's somehow weird at first but I kind of like it now.
Anyway, Teru's personality is so endearing. Her words to express her heartfelt appreciation is outstanding, and quite adorable.
It's not that I dislike this genre but... to add unnecessary fan services to/in/for heroines
and ultimately destroys her character and personality; their purity tarnished because of it,
is the only thing I hope to not happen to them. For that sole purity is my fan service.

I also love Stardust's VA (he's also Gyro Zeppeli from the JoJo fighting games) his voice is just so smooth. I'm glad I'm not watching the dub now

Honestly, I don't think there is a lot to say about this episode. I guess Teru and Iko got to spend some time together, but it wasn't till the latter half of the episode that the story actually started advancing.

I'm interested to see how will the show handle Stardust. He seems to be propped up as the hero who makes the tough choices and that will probably bring him into conflict with Shy, who gets her first combat practice.

I'm not excited for this episode, but I'm still left wanting to see what happens next.

I had high hopes for this the hero genre can be so fun. Anxiety and being shy is relatable by many people.

When I was watching it at first I thought the main character Shy was cute but a little too forced. It felt like someone's impression of a shy person that has never actually met one.
It's overly dramatic in poor ways.

Its teru's day off, and her first nerve wracking date with her new friend koishikawa, whose leg injury completely healed due to the effects of her previous transformation.| After helping a lost boy, koishikawa geeks to teru about the rockstar britian hero "stardust", Luckily for koishikawa she might be able to meet him as teru AND herself is summoned to the heros space hideout to discuss the previous incident (via spirit's gate).|
At the hideout they meet leader of the heros unilord, and koishikawa is amazed of the place, then they all have a supper together?| A meeting with stardust, spirit, shy, unilord and koishikawa then takes place where they discuss the incident and significance of shy capturing the whole ring| The villain boy is revealed to be called "stigma" and The evil ring is revealed to converts peoples hearts to power, which is actually what the heros bracelets do to give them powers but much more sinister due to amplifying dark emotions.|
Unilord sets up a battle for shy with stardust to test her capabilities, and shy agrees with stardust conditions of quitting if she loses. With shy's only win condition being to hit stardusts face atleast once, stardust starts the countdown with the flip of a coin, and the battle begins.

Cool date, but not really, kinda boring. And shy is pretty dumb for accepting those conditions, like shes literally a newbie hero why would she agree to willingly quit for losing to a professional. Also im confused since they implied shy was the first person to get the ring in one piece, but didnt stardust cut his friends finger off to get the ring? wouldnt the ring also be in one piece in that case (excluding his friends finger)?
