RATING: 3.5 stars

This one was kinda meh... I liked that we finished up the part about Gentle Criminal, because WOW did I not care about that lmao. But now we're focusing on Endeavor? Which... why? I don't really know if I'm gonna be on board with a redemption arc for him because he was a massive jerk to all of his kids for literal years.

Other than that, it's cool to finally see the breakdown of the top 10 heroes- I've been hearing about Hawks a lot in the fandom and now I've finally gotten to the part in canon where he exists lol. He seems pretty interesting- there has to be more to his mentality of 'I don't want to be at the top' despite being the number two hero now that Endeavor's number one.

And I think we've almost wrapped up everything with Eri? I'm glad Mirio has a chance of getting his quirk back now. And he and Eri after the school festival were adorable. There were like four panels of him mimicking everything she did and it was so cute lol.

Oh, and I have to mention: I once again have no idea what's going on during the fight scenes, so... yeah. It's like a blur of random things and I can sorta make out "oh, there's Izuku's head" or "that looks like a hand?" but they've gotten really confusing again.

I'm not actually sure what the next arc is after this, assuming it's not just about Endeavor, so it'll be cool to be surprised for once lol. I've gotten spoiled for enough of this series before.

Non sono riuscita a farmi piacere l'arc di Gentle, ma ho apprezzato molto l'introduzione di Hawks e il focus su Endeavour. Non vedo l'ora di avere il volume con l'iconica scena di Todoroki tra le mani, meno male che settembre è vicino.

Sufrí más a Gentle Criminal en el anime porque siento que lo suyo tomó más capítulos ahí que en el manga. Punto para el manga.
Ahora, lo importante. Apareció mi marido. Hawks, yo te amo. Y con su llegada vemos un poco más de cómo se organiza el mundo de los héroes con lo del ranking. Hasta ahora solo teníamos números, ahora vemos cómo se llega a ellos.
Y por último, vemos un poco más de la familia Todoroki.
