Recap / My Hero Academia S4E5 "Let's Go, Gutsy Red Riot"

Go To

Krishima and Tamaki assist Fat Gum on a nightly patrol. They soon face a group of villains only to encounter one with a gamechanging weapon.

Tropes:

  • A Day in the Limelight: This episode largely focuses on Kirishima's work study with Fat Gum and Tamaki, with Uraraka and Asui having their own battle at the beginning of the episode.
  • Foreshadowing: After taking down a giant villain, Uraraka and Asui are invited by their mentor Ryukyu and the Big Three's Nejire for a special assignment, revealed in the next episode.
  • Megaton Punch: Kirishima, powered up on "Unbreakable", is able to punch through the Blade Villain's mass of metal and punch him out. Although, he's still under the affects of whatever he took, so he's only down for a few minutes.
  • Next Tier Power-Up: Kirishima develops a new form called "Unbreakable", further strengthening his Hardening Quirk to the point of deflecting most attacks, especially the drugged-up Blade Villain's mass of metal.
  • Wham Shot: When one of the villains shoot at Tamaki, he finds out he can't use his Quirk.
  • Wounded Gazelle Gambit: The Blade Villain plays up being pathetic to get Kirishima to lower his guard. He succeeds in this, but Fat Gum knocks him down before he can really get away.
  • You Are Who You Eat: Or rather, what you eat. The narration describes Tamaki's quirk as this, stating that he had some takoyaki (octopus) and fried chicken before going on patrol.
