| It's All Might! Just when they needed him the most to take down the Scarred Man, he delivers. Or at least he arrives at the right place, at the right time. Also impressed by Koichi's determination despite the state he's in. Glad they also didn't forget about Knuckle in this show. |
 |
| Wait omg I thought this was the final episode for some reason. They really upped the production quality for the Knuckleduster vs Number 6 encounter, wow |
 |
| all might is really deus ex machina the fight between knuckleduster and oclock is cool too also sexy mirko spotted again  |
| Amazing episode, Boy did i miss you Duster, don't get me wrong seeing peak form All Might doing number one hero stuff is great fun but he stole the episode like he always does, wish they tackled the o'clock backstory more but it was still a great scene Next ep is the finale, i wonder if they adapted everything or if we're getting a s3 at this point |

| Fuck yeah dude. I fucking love Knuckleduster and Number 6, what an awesome 1 on 1 we get here. We get a little bit into 6's backstory which is interesting, and some INCREDIBLE animation of him moving at super speed, this looks so gorgeous animated |
 |
| Ah yes gotta have an obligatory flashback scene before something life threatening happens. Nobody will blame Tsukauchi for asking the no. 1 hero to save his sister tho. All Might is the freaking GOAT. Was wondering how tf he'd save the tower but somehow he did it. Literal deus ex machina but Ig it doesn’t count if the show acknowledges it? Anyway, cool to see Koichi finally meeting his hero. Bro deserves it. CC got humbled again. He should feel lucky he's still alive. Also, "Japan's" no. 1 hero? Ik CC was the no. 1 hero in America but I thought All Might was the no. 1 hero worldwide. Maybe he's not atp? Also, it feels surreal to see him doing a normal office job. Imagine if he kept his phone silent lol. Glad he has sense and kept it on. I really want an All Might prequel spin-off. Specifically set during his prime. Finally Knuckleduster is back! No. 6 vs Knuckleduster was so awesome and it’s only getting started. So the villain's "name" is No. 6? He didn’t even seem human. Also, it was already pretty obvious but if anyone had any doubt about Knuckleduster being O'Clock well this episode should clear it up. Knuckleduster proving why he's the homeless Batman with those crazy backup plans. So I'm not sure how I feel about him being someone who originally had a quirk. I was hoping he'd be this universe's equivalent of Batman or the Punisher. I don't think there's a character like them in MHA who's a quirkless vigilante from the start at least no one who had a focus like him. Wtf was that preview. We're time skipping that much?! |
| They went so hard with the animation for this episode. Makoto and Nao's childhood scenes were so cute. I gotta say that Knuckleduster's explosion scene was so damn crazy than All Might's scene. Those Yutapon cubes were absolutely amazing to watch. That must have been a dream come true for Koichi to have his favorite hero carry him. Speedster wanted to be a hero like O'clock but O'clock disappoints him by calling himself as the worst villian that needs to be taken down 😭😭 Just one more episode to go. |

| All Might saving the day by rescuing everyone in the Sky Egg was expected, but it was satisfying in how he cleared a space wide enough to accommodate the large venue and got everyone out safely. Not only that, but his Nebraska smash cam in clutch to create a vortex to entrap and destroy the rest of the enemies that number 6 sent out. That's where Knuckleduster stepped in and their standoff was tense. The effort that Knuckleduster goes with his tactical approach and attacks are impressive, considering that number 6 now carries the quirk that Knuckleduster used to own. The animation during their battle, especially the first building explosion, was excellent. So once again, just like the previous season, Knuckleduster gets the last major fight. The way the episode ended on an explosive cliffhanger was worrying, so I hope that he's okay. |
| Amazing ep All Might slightly past his prime is still broken asf. Bro really aura farming. Knew Scarface would be mad asf. Bruh everyone dead fasho. Nvm, u can't stop All Might lmao. Those 2 sequences of AM were amazing. So he's called #6 and he stole Knuckle (OG O'Clock's) quirk. Never thought he'd use bombers on himself, but alr. Like Ik he was insane, but this is different. 10/10 |

this season will adapt up to chapter 60+ and there is 120+ chapters in total so there is likely gonna be s4 for the finale arc
| @deg really cool to know, just hope we see more Duster in s3 and possible s4 then since most of s2 felt off without him. |

| Kinda funny how they directly address that All Might is a deus ex machina lol, but he’s quite the awesome one at that, his display here while saving the Sky Egg was very sick, bro somehow had enough time to pave the ground and save all the animals before sitting down the Sky Egg safely, that made it kinda comedic along with the coolness lol. And not only that, he also saved Captain Celebrity and Kouichi, as well as shut down the speedy fella’s (who’s “name” was revealed to be Number 6) final terrorism attempt, W All Might for real, and W Tsukauchi for getting All Might to come there, no way could he refuse that cry for help to save Makoto (I liked the bit of Makoto and Tsukauchi backstory here as well). But All Might wasn’t even the best part of the episode imo, that would go to Knuckleduster for his badass fight against Number 6, he messed up the long range assassination but he prepared way beyond that with the explosives rigged up in the building and the recording played back in 300x speed to waste Number 6’s quirk time, he really had it all figured out, it’s just too bad Number 6 had one last trick up his sleeve with that bomber villain being a part of him, I doubt that was the end of Knuckleduster (I hope not anyway) so it’ll be interesting to see how he survives. Also, we did get a bit of Number 6’s backstory, so he’s not even a person huh, it makes me wonder how he got his current form then. And the Overlock quirk is actually the original too, so he stole it from Knuckleduster/O’Clock, and it’s interesting how Knuckleduster didn’t see himself as a hero, well he certainly inspired one person at least, although it’s someone as twisted as Number 6. And next up is the finale, I’ve quite enjoyed having Vigilantes back so I’m gonna miss it once again. |

| While the Deus Ex Machina part made for the first few minutes of the episode have an abrupt conclusion to the Sky Egg dilemma where I thought Koichi was going to use with quirk as a flight but instead was solved in an instant, it was Kuroiwa the one that saved the episode from being just a memory of Makoto as a child. The villain doesn't really have a name rather it's an experiment, probably from All for One or from an unknown entity that stole O'Clock's quirk and as we have know previously got to control his daughter. This is some nasty business and he wasn't going to let it pass more so by arming himself with knowledge. This is the kind of fight I'd have liked to see more of in the original series, not having a contest of strongest quirk but a tactics battle of wits where information can make the difference. Now that the building has crumpled and 6 has no more limbs regenerated as fast, his remaining black creature detonating might be his key to escape. Can he do it? What will be of the lives of the ones in the other side of town? I'm quite interested in knowing how it ends or whether it will continue. |

| WATASHI GA KITA!!! These words from Oru Maito still give me chills. Knuckleduster for sure is the best part of this show, who brings a gun to a super villain fight?? Only him. Number 6 is an interesting villain, but also a disposable experiment for All for One. |
| Imagine how boring this world would be without Japan - a comment at youtube |
| ALL MIGHT MY FREAKING GOAT GETTING THERE LIKE THE G HE IS! A TRUE HERO! It seems whoever is directing this show loves knucleduster cause he is the only spinoff character that gets all the budget, not even koichi lol |
| There were like 50+ GOOD heroes, top 10 kind of heroes, plus like 100+ cops, and they STILL had to call All Might, just how trash are these people, my God, the final AFO fight show how much of a disgrace every hero truly is, but they don't even get the opportunity to shine in this spin off huh, fucking pathetic. No wonder Stain was so crazy to find a TRUE hero like AM, they all are fucking frauds lmao 🤣 Legit the only heroes here were CC and Koichi (random ass vigilante bud). Knuckleduster is such a fucking chad. |
Sorry if my english is bad (っ˘▽˘)っ~~~ Btw, cry about it.  |
| All Might is the best deus ex machina ever! I loved that scene of him just taking care of the Sky Egg when I didn't even believe he could do anything without flight. There's no way Knucleduster survives that! That would be retarded on a Pell level. 4/5 |
    WATCH KANAN-SAMA! |
| So... there goes Knuckles... I doubt he has that much "Batman" preparation for the unexpected. (since Knuckles isn't rich and doesn't have the tech to immediately send in reinforcement equipments like Batman do) . Also... so... that's where All Might gone... I wonder if anyone at that office meeting knew that skinny dude was All Might all along... was All Might spying? LOL, WTF... |
| Nothing Written Here But Us Anime Bunnies *boing boing boing* |
| best episode so far, All might is always nice to see but knucleduster fight was so grounded and grim, want to see more. They really held back on the visuals, could have been really gory |
| The All Might part was pretty cool, I really do not care about Knuckle vs villain dude though. |
| Though the way All Might saved the Tokyo Egg and its 50,000 guests was impressive, it was still ridiculous, even for him. What if that park, which happened to be at just the right spot, was full of people at the time? Could such a mass destruction really have "zero fatalities"? Anyway, it looks like that Overclock psycho is one of All For One's and his mad doctor's human experiments. I couldn't tell if his super weird past form in the flashback scenes was how he felt or it was how he really looked like. Knuckleduster / ex O'Clock was fully prepared for him. But did he really need to bomb an entire building? I hope the building was empty, but did he even check? |
 |
| The episode name kinda gives it away. lol |
  |
| Finally! Knuckleduster has returned! |
 |
| I dunno if anyone else thinks this, but I honestly hate that All Might had to step in and save the day. |
| Cool acceleration quirk and all but oh boy is this season's main villain lame asf. Still a nice episode tho. This spin-off definitely needs All Might and Knuckleduster to have more screentime. |
| WATASHI GA KITA! Rollercoaster episode. "The Sky Egg was bombed! We're going to die! All Might is here! We're saved! Oh no, another bomber swarm! We're going to die! Nebraska Smash! We're saved! Oh no, Speedster is still on the phone with AFO! We're in danger! But Knuckleduster shot him! But a bird made him miss and he caught up! But he had an audio trap and bombed the building to a falling trap and shot him again! But he regenerated and mutated his arm into more bombs!"       |

| Yeah this series is at its best when we get the overanalyzed badassery of Knuckleduster's high octane fights. |
