The villain introduced in this episode had a very interesting quirk that seems like it would be a pain to deal with, but other than the character the episode was kinda meh.
@rk4sasuke It's definitely up there in terms of having a big skill curve to learn it, not unlike Best Jeanist, though the implication is that All For One is somehow behind this Factory, so it makes you wonder if this was an artificial Quirk or possibly modified in some way (like a certain character being given Chisaki's Quirk but without the "repair" part)

@Yhoto You're right. That scarred dude is the Bee guy, but in a different body (I don't know if it's the person's original body).
@KingBaller06 I don't know that it's Bee, but Bee is around in that Mister Zappy Scar did get the Queen in a container and disappeared, so they'll be back, trust me

@deg First of all, I WAS ALSO THINKING ABOUT THE FLASH, IN PARTICULAR FLASHTIME.

Secondly, it seems that he doesn't always have super speed on and it has to be activated and when it does, he has a cooldown between uses.
@KingBaller06 We don't get a big explanation until later, not sure it's gonna be until the next season, depending on where this ends. Knuckleduster does come back, though he's not gonna show up in this season much, if at all until the end, but it's been several years since I read the series

@Ahohite-killer except there weren't any civilians in danger? I mean, that is the loading dock of the mall, the only people around were a handful of workers who were already being evacuated out of the way.

"Again don't move or we'll shoot!"

"Okay but this time we're super serious, don't move!"

@rasterman7 The way they were presenting it, the Quirk appears to be able to enhance speed in a concentrated fashion, not long term since that would be like a non Gum Gum Devil Fruit user trying to enhance their performance via "doping" like Luffy did. The body would not survive it or your lifespan would be cut down even if you somehow acclimated to it. The Flashtime moment felt like it should've had some indication that it isn't like the spurts of speed he was using before, he was seeing everything in such slow speed that he was able to do all that in the span of probably a few seconds in real time, but it was more like 30 seconds for him
@holdingnothing Yeah, no I wasn't implying it was broken but there must be some way to take advantage of those spans he isn't able to use it, not like the police could do much with that.

@0451 Now that you mention it, you're right. It doesn't make sense that the police aren't allowed to use their quirks.

Which is why I assumed outside of heteromorphs, the police were quirkless.
@KingBaller06 I think most of the police are quirkless or have quirks that are mostly useless. Still, this feels like an asinine rule because a lot of cops would probably risk their lives unknowingly just to save paperwork or something. I'm guessing this will probably be addressed in some way later in this series.

@holdingnothing If you speak about something that's gonna happen, whether it be a character's appearance, character development, future events, anything that isn't already displayed in a released episode, it's a spoiler.

It would be equivalent to me telling a new MHA watcher that down the line Izuku will be able to use multiple quirks.

In both cases someone is spoiling something that will happen in the future.

@KingBaller06 Izuku using multiple quirks is far more detail than what I gave about Knuckleduster maybe reappearing (depends on how much they adapt anyway), merely that you can anticipate that, there's far more surprises I could've said that I didn't.

@rasterman7 That use felt inconsistent to me, even having read the manga to the conclusion and knowing other details vaguely about the character and the Quirk. Tsukauchi does have good instincts and I think he's going to be a focus somewhat for next episode if it's adapting what I think it is

@Gator honestly it's a little wonky in the anime, the way it was illustrated in the manga made more sense.

@KingBaller06 The people on this forum are insane. They spoil willy nilly without a care in the world. Luckily I don't care about this show so I don't care about being spoiled.

But it's because of people like them that I have to avoid reading discussion threads of shows I do enjoy.

I wish the mods would delete posts like theirs. Instead of putting all their energy into locking threads they don't like because it has an opinion they don't like.

Maybe I'll start reporting people like you, @holdingnothing.

So is it speeding up time or slowing it down? He never moved very far away from people which makes me think he is slowing down time and then gets to his distance limit.

I had forgotten about the new villain from last season. Looks like he has some kind of quirk that allows him to move at super speeds for a short time that somehow incorporates electricity. Looks pretty limited to how far he can go and often he can use it.

Great for Koichi to immediately use his new quirk ability right away. He went full chad and saved Pop Step.

Crab girl is so cute, easily one of my new favorites.

Being able to cut anything that fits between your fingers or legs? Hey, Kaniko could be a really competent pro Hero with that quirk.

4/5 episode. Pop needing to be rescued for the umpteenth time was annoying but I enjoyed the parts with the speedster and the way how they portrayed his quirk's usage was pretty cool.

I take back what I said about the anime after this ep

The main villain showed up, and with overwhelming energy on his side. Sent by All For One, his powers couldn't be anything less than absurd. I believe his personal Quirk has something to do with controlling machines. But, super speed on its own is already powerful, but using it to STOP TIME? I'll say it again: STOP TIME! How could All For One use such a trump card on a random villain?

I felt bad for the police officers, but especially for Pop. She had to endure all that dizziness for so long. Thankfully, Koichi was there to save her once again, giving me some great moments of my favorite couple. Still, the real highlight was the incredible duo Fat Gum and Monika. Cutting through metal with just her fingers is brutal. And that kick? That was insane! Once again, I was wrong about her. She's incredibly strong.

The anime is back in full force, and I'm excited for more moments like this. I'll say it again: I'm betting this is Koichi's season!

Dubious and honest analysis from neonerd.

Hmm, Koichi didn't really do much here huh...

All he did was jump onto the crab, but didn't do anything. Everything was done by the Crab Girl and Fatman.

The only thing Koichi did was pick up Pop... lol

.

Here I was thinking he was going to use a combination of his power + new power to stop the crab, but nope... nothing.

.

Also, that "Flash" dude is interesting, but obviously he has tons of limitations. While he can move like "Flash", but he can only do it for a couple of seconds and then have to recharge, he also doesn't have "fast sense" to see attacking coming toward him. So he can't really dodge them like "Flash" can.

.

So... we got Superman and Batman in season 1, and now in season 2 with Koichi as Spiderman and the new villian dude as Flash. (and a couple of Kamen Rider, lol)

What other superheroes are we gonna have?

Monika was pretty cool sussing out where the illegal goods and the fake employee. Too bad no one was prepared for how OP his quirk was! It's a good thing he only went for the police officers body armor and not to take them out, because his super speed is wild!

Fat Gum tanking that explosion at the cost of losing all his fat stores was also cool. That's why he's such a great hero.

This episode was a good follow-up to the premiere; I had a lot of fun watching it, especially with the various action set pieces! The super speed villain against the cops was a great scene; it's been done before, but it's still effective when done well! Also, I enjoyed the chase after Pop's possessed GITS-looking robot.

The ending scene between Kazuho and (a sleeping) Koichi was cute. <3

Turns out the undercover cop’s hunch was right, and she exposed a new and powerful villain! That light-speed quirk is incredibly powerful. The villian had the opportunity to kill the police, but he only left them immobilized. Considering it’s My Hero, they wouldn’t show anyone dying anyway like that anyway

I wonder who’s behind this drug distribution because they went through a lot to eliminate all evidence.

The guy with the big scar has a pretty broken Quirk, and I think this is the first time we’ve really gotten to see its full potential in action. If he ever fully masters it, he could easily become one of the most dangerous villains in the series.

I was waiting for Koichi to come in and save the day, but unfortunately, he’s still too weak to do much right now.
