Finally, Knuckle Duster gets back in on the action! His whole half of the episode was gripping! The animation, the pacing, the dialogue; I was all in!

All Might rushing over and saving the day is why he's the number one hero! The Naomasa and Makoto flashback to when they first learned about her quirk was nice to see. All Might complimenting his passionate plea for help is right, because Naomasa certainly was a moving orator.

This No. 6 and Knuckleduster confrontation is also very exciting. No. 6 has quite the unheroic mindset if he wants to be Knuckleduster's successor. Something to which Knuckleduster is glad to already have Koichi for, which I can concur. Even so, this explosive battle between old quirk wielder and new quirk wielder has left off on an interesting cliffhanger.

No. 6 said he was an O'Clock fan, but I'm thinking he's got an unadmitted love for explosions as well.

So everything worked out, and the emotion behind Naomasa’s plea for Toshinori to save him was just…. EXCELLENT! I saw his tears, heard his desperation, even the flashbacks of him and Makoto, there’s nothing he cares about more than his sister no matter what he actually says to her, and Toshinori shows just how much of a force of nature All Might is. AFO had to step in and tell Test Number Six how All Might bends physics to his will. Lowkey bro was glazing.

So none of those bombers were successful because All Might was able to stop them by himself, proving that he’s a force of nature.

We can tell from the conversation afterwards that this is a time before he tells Naomasa about One For All, so something between this and the start of the series, Toshinori tells him/

Then we find out that Knuckleduster is O’Clock, and that his quirk was stolen (likely from All For One) and somehow Number Six got it. Now the dude wants to be just like him, but Knuckleduster intends to put him down and says he already has a pupil in Koichi. We’ll see how this battle goes, and last season ended with Knuckleduster getting a fight as well (however in Season 1, it ended on the penultimate episode).

But apparently two years pass since this Sky Egg incident according to the preview and it seems that The Crawler will be done, so I wonder what will come of that.

All might saved the situation haha well he's not the best hero for nothing. Knuckleduster against Number 6 was good, though I hope he's fine...

All Might surely has this effect of when you see him on screen you know things will get better, he is after all the symbol of Peace, the man is simply THE symbol of hope, strength and stability in the world. Woah seeing who Knuckleduster was prior to losing his Quirk to who he is now :(. Poor guy has lost too much but still fights for the people, a true chad!

First, we get All Might charging in like a superhero, grandstanding and making a spectacle by saving the day. Then, we get our Batman, the great Knuckleduster, coming in with a sneak attack and going savage on the fraudulent O clock wannabe. No other character gets me this excited than All Might and Knuckleduster. They’re simply the most interesting heroes when they step into action and have a yin and yang dynamic.
