My Hero Academia

I was thinking season 3 would end on the Deku x Bakugou fight, but it turns out the OST has one track named "Mirio" and one named "Overhaul".

Do we know how many episodes there are supposed to be?

25 i assume? I think Season 3 will end with the introduction of Overhaul.

After all, Dabi and Toga were introduced in the last episode of Season 2

I think Mirio vs. the whole class (minus Bakugo and Todoroki) is one of my most anticipated moments.

Really, anything with Mirio is great.

Well I believe it’s another 24 episode season like season 2 was.

We are at episode 14 at the moment leaving only 10 episodes left so yeah considering the test isn’t that long, there might be enough episodes left to introduce Mirio & Overhaul.

So hype all around.

so Im guessing it will end on the twice chapter then and show him see overhaul in action?

We will at the very least get to the fight between Deku and Bakugo, but with the track "Mirio" on the season 3 OST we might go a little past that as well. Depends on how quickly they adapt the two parts of the exam.

Also when we are on the topic of the S3 OST, man does Mirio and Inasa's respective fits them well!

Relatedly, today (July 15) is Mirio's birthday

And Deku's.

Oh man that Overhaul theme is just bitchin.

It’s a mix of hip-hop & oriental style perfect for a Japanese gangsta.

Discussion in the anime thread got me wondering: what students in Class B are you most interested in, if any?

I'd go with Manga Fukidashi (speech bubble for a head guy), Shihai Kuroiro (the guy with charcoal black skin), Pony Tsunotori, and Yosetsu Awase.

I'm interested in Awase just to see how he fights with a Quirk like welding. Seriously, he came in 10th place during the entrance exam. How did that happen?

I'd say Tsunotori. I'm a sucker for big, Jigglypuff-esque eyes in character design (part of what makes Tsuyu catch my attention) and I also like how she's relatively innocent in how she can be made to say ridiculous things without realizing.

Maybe he stuck a bunch of robots to the floor like Mineta did.

I like that mantis guy & pony girl is really cute.

IN order: Kendo, Manga, Pony, Ibara, and Reiko.

Awase's Quirk lets him weld anything to anything, it actually seems pretty powerful. He came 10th in the Entrance Exam, remember.

F'rinstance, did you notice that he'd actually stuck Momo to his arm rather than carry her?

I mentioned his placement but, no, I didn't notice that's what he did. Which I guess answer the question of whether he can detach things or not, I'll have to go and look at that again. That alone answers a few questions I had.

So anyway, some people didn't like the whole thing with Endeavor sending Rei her favorite flower because it might have some unfortunate real life implications. What do you think might have been another way to get the point across (that Endeavor hasn't just forgotten about her or the rest of the family) without doing so?

Not sure, but they are right that such things don't actually say the abuser has changed. Because an abuser can still love the person they abused, remember things they love, and still treat them horribly. As he still emotionally abused his son after stopping the physical abuse he didn't really change until recently. So long as abuse continued it does say him sending those flowers is him not making a real effort to make up for his mistakes.

Luckily the abuse has stopped at the very least.

All he has to do is keep trying to be a better person........ & apologize to his wife & kids eventually.

It will depend on the future chapters

Especially on mom’s and the other children’s reactions. I think that if they just welcome him back like nothing happened, then yeah that’s bad. I’d imagine the mom at least appreciating the gesture but still uneasy around his presence and not gonna be all smiles at him

Well, right now we do have a range of reactions from his family. Fuyumi accepts him already, Natsuo wants nothing to do with him, Rei believes he's changing but still can't stand to be around him yet, Shouto is still angry but seems willing to give him a chance, and if Dabi is a Todoroki then he clearly hates his dad's guts.

I think the intent was him attempting to demonstrate that he actually cared about her as person as opposed to just a vehicle to get more powerful children, but it's hard to say how much weight it carries until we learn more about exactly what their relationship was like since we basically haven't seen any of their interactions.

My speculation was that mom actually fell for Endeavor at first even if arranged marriage but under his abuse became terrified and angry.

So there was some kind of love perhaps which may be why she’s accepting the flower but who knows

That's actually been kind of weird to me. I'll be okay with it if the story says there relationship wasn't always terrible, because it doesn't need to have been terrible from the beginning to lead where it did.

My thing is that I find it weird how some people have just been trying to say that Shoto was just entirely wrong about everything. Like, the entire plot line just does not make sense if that were the case.

That's why I'd want more information before trying to judge what exactly it means. There's a pretty big difference between "the relationship started off good before being torpedoed by Endeavor's obsession" and "the relationship was unhealthy from the beginning."

And I don't think it's so much "Shoto was wrong about everything" so much as "he's the only source of info we have and we don't know how reliable he is." While there's most definitely some truth to what he's saying, the facts remain that 1. he has an obvious bias against Endeavor that could be coloring his memories and 2. he's the youngest kid, and therefore is the least likely to have any idea what his parents' relationship was like at first.

Obviously he knows that by the time he was around it was incredibly unhealthy, but it simply doesn't tell us anything about what it was like, say, ten years prior to his birth.

I've said before that my personal theory of what happened is that their relationship was fairly stable at first, but Endeavor got subsequently more unhinged with each child that didn't have the powers he wanted. By the time Shoto comes along, Rei is stressed out from basically having to raise the kids herself (since Endeavor takes no interest in them) and his treatment of Shoto is what finally causes it to hit the breaking point.

Seems pretty reasonable
