| Another undercover investigation type of episode. I've heard of this type of case before. Pop Up also had to get her hands dirty again. Not going to lie, I find Kaniko kinda fun to watch in this season so far. Her undercover status and unusual style makes an interesting mix for her role. But yeah, it looks like their city still has a lot of corruption and crime problems to deal with. This just feels like the beginning. That got really messy with the crab. |

Bro thinks he's the thing (seriously, add him as a skin in rivals for him though) |

| That was a long recap. Idr if Season 1 had them. Return of that bee bastard. His quirk now seems way too OP. At least for normal policemen. Kaniko is really badass. Her quirk is cool too. It doesn't make sense that cops aren't allowed to use quirks. I know they're not heroes but what's the point in limiting them? Seems like an unnecessary risk. Koichi got to be a hero, I mean vigilante again, by saving Pop again. That exploding crab thing was dangerous but at least he got a new hoodie out of it. Pop riding Koichi at the end was weirdly wholesome. The animation of this episode feels like a downgrade compared to Season 1. Hopefully, it improves in later episodes. But wouldn't be surprised if it doesn't because final season aired last season. They probably should've taken longer to release this to polish it more tbh. |
| Fatgum and Kaniko in action! Kaniko's quirk kinda op, can cut through anything just with a scissoring motion. Kouichi's new abilities didn't help much in the ramping crab incident, but his efforts really captured Pop Step's heart more and more. Sweet.  |

| Being able to cut with her legs was insane! That's some real pro hero potential |
| Kaniko is a pretty fun character. She's cute for sure, but I did enjoy seeing her cracking on with her job to try and find the suspicious cargo shipment. It's just a shame that the villain in question is pretty strong. He did get a little too cocky and had a bullet graze his leg, but the way he flexed his quirk to knock back the police officers makes him a tough opponent to take out. As for Koichi, he did his best to rescue Kazuho from the mecha crab mech and, with the help of Kaniko and FatGum, they both got out of the way unscathed. Seeing Kazuho reflect on what happened with flushed cheeks as her mind kept on thinking of Koichi's heroics was rather sweet. =) Overall, this was another fun episode. |
| GREAT episode this villain really looks strong... |
| if you hated this episode/chapter, just watch/read something else... 100k on IG (https://www.instagram.com/otakuweek?igsh=em5kY3Q4NTVtNXlh) Discord (https://discord.gg/vbZrk64uH7) for anime links / news / recom etc |
| What the hell was the police doing? "Don't move or we'll shoot!" *moves* "Again don't move or we'll shoot!" *moves again* "Okay but this time we're super serious, don't move!" *runs away* At least they shot when it was already too late, but goddamn... |
| And back to the "crabtastic" incident we go having Kaniko deal with the identification of the smuggling only to come with who's gonna be the villain of the season. He's got a super speed electric type of quirk which while enhanced makes him have the ability Fry had in that one Futurama episode. While he got away, Koichi was there to rescue Pop from one of the crab bots left there for show. Of course he was gonna save her, he's that kind of way. On the way we might have witnessed some bonding yet unfortunately he fell asleep, oh well. Good start overall |

| Good ep Didn't expect scar face to pull up so early. Usually masterminds got henchman, but in a sense, they alr got taken out. Kaniko ain't that bad as a undercover agent. So bro got super speed and can slow down time, nice. Koichi is too grown to be this cringey. Need him to act his age and maybe he'll look cooler to the masses. Love how Koichi, Fatgum, Kaniko worked together to save Pop. Lol, anime be so obvious. It was obvious that he was gonna sleep after all that action. 9/10 |
 "Hard work is worthless for those that don’t believe in themselves" - Naruto Uzumaki I rate by enjoyment |
| So Kaniko can not only snip things between her fingers, but also her legs, if she ever got a boyfriend I’d fear for his life if you know what I mean lol. Jokes aside, this was a fun end to the opening arc of the season (although that recap was a bit too long imo), they found the contraband in the crab boxes but weren’t able to finish the job thanks to the new speedy villain and those hacked crab machines that could also self destruct. It created quite the dangerous situation, but thanks to the heroes, no one died and the damage wasn’t as bad as it could have been, and Kouichi was pretty cool when he saved Pop Step too, that was a very bad time for her to trip but thankfully Fat Gum showed why he is packing all that fat, only now he’s lost it all lol, I can’t remember if we’ve ever seen his low-fat form before now but that was cool. Unfortunately tho, the speedy villain got away after he thoroughly finessed the cops, they had the upper hand for a moment but they weren’t ready for his Za Warudo style aspect of his quirk, so he got away for now but I’m sure that’s not the last we see of him. And poor Pop at the end couldn’t thank Kouichi, goober was knocked out cold lol, but the important thing is knowing that she cares. |
| 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. |
Reply to KingBaller06
@rk4sasuke He wasn't introduced in this episode; he was introduced in the final episode of last season.
| @KingBaller06 hmm I may have to do a rewatch of it then I honestly don't remember him at all tbh |
| Let Koichi sleep, he was pretty heroic today :) I like how they showed the speedsters power in action. |

mha officers are always so reluctant to us there gunas till its to late lol
| @Ahohite-killer unlike the US many police forces do not resort to firing their guns unless they have no other choice. |
