Listening to the new OP once more. I guess one thing about the song is that... I dunno if it's the right word to use, but the flow feels kinda off compared to the past 3 openings, and it feels like it ends abruptly. Like kinda the length of the OP isn't enough to make the feel the song reach its completion, or something like that. It has a nice sound, more or less, and the animation makes it worth it, I suppose.

Uverworld has made good songs for previous anime’s but this one feels off and honestly the first song I’m not really feeling for MHA as their first 3 OPs have had really distinct songs that fit the animation I mean I probably will like it more over time but I just don’t feel the sound meshed right with the animation to an extent nor does it really set the tone moving forward. However, the OP seems to mostly be targeting just the training camp arc so I expect a better More serious song for whats about to happen after

Hmm, yeah. After watching the OP, the visuals are great, but the song is kinda off. With the tune, when the title graphics appeared by the end (probably didn't help), it kinda gives me the feeling "huh, it's over?" or "it felt like it was just starting". So, visuals are good, might like it more or tied with Peace Sign, but music wise it feels lacking, either below or tied with the third opening.

This is def my least favorite opening I rank the first 3 openings on the same tier as each other as they were all good appropriate songs with great visuals corresponding This was def lacking and the song choice was bad since it never really jumps and hits that gear

Also I meant to mention in regards to OPs, the Tokyo Ghoul new OP is damn good and struck the right one that MHA missed on imo

Just a random thing I noticed on the OP. Kinda spoiler-ish, I guess...? Hard to know unless you read the manga, and even then it might not be a noticeable thing. {Spoiler}On the shot where the class jumps, Tokoyami's Dark Shadow has red eyes, probably foreshadowing what happens to it at night.

Recent chapter is out. {Spoiler}Seems like the fight between Deku and Gentle is gonna end next week. Pretty long fight. Ish? Maybe? I dunno. So far, I guess it's a nice way to show Deku's new and improved fighting style. Gentle and La Brava are also a fun pair, and the past few chapters did give them a nice backstory showing how they became the zany pair that they are. Kinda nice since so far all the villains Deku and class 1-A has fought have been firmly on the side of evil, and the pair have some light-heartedness to it.
That said, I'm getting some big forebodings on how this arc will end. Eri getting kidnapped? Shiragaki making his move? Traitor in UA being revealed? Gigantomachia getting unleashed?Something's bound to happen, especially since this arc and the previous arc have been fairly light.

{Spoiler} This has def been the calm before the storm with something big happening. They have sort of given everyone a break since Night Eye died but you can see something building in the background which is going to lead to some fun encounters. The UA traitor should be a big subplot but more and more they are going into serious territory and the one thing I can say is their are real consequences for their actions which is a nice change of pace from others who bring out high stake situations but the pay off isn't what it should be. {Spoiler}

Him saying that he's a fan of All Might is veeeeeery suspicious. Not serious here. Maybe.
That said, I have some doubts on the possibility that the traitor is one of the teachers. On the attack on the USJ, Kurogiri managed to warp some of the students to random locations in the area, using numbers to try to deal with the students who got warped. If a teacher is the traitor, then the League of Villains should have had some intel on what the quirks of the students were, and Kurogiri would have warped the students to areas that they'd have a hard time fighting in.
So most likely a student. I'm thinking of someone from 1-B, though for most part I admit that I'm biased since I kinda don't want anyone in 1-A to be the traitor. Especially in the recent arc with the class just having fun with festival preparations. It'd be a real blow if one of them did turn out to be the traitor.

He does have that other side from being experimented on by humans so their is a grudge their but they offset that with his nice character to the kids. He wants to protect his students but he's also admitted to hoping to be able to change Villians into good. I mean that's my shot in the dark so take it with a grain of salt Other then that your obvious choice is someone from 1-B. Class 1-A doesn't make sense when we've gotten to know the cast and known of them have really shown evil tendencies tho that obviously doesn't stop them from being evil. At worst if it's someone from 1-A then you have a brainwash storyline probably coming {Spoiler}

{Spoiler}Being coerced to do it might also be possible, though far less likely.
And, one other thing I'm guessing. Deku and Shiragaki will have an encounter sooner rather than later, or at least something that will involve the two that'll cement each other as arch enemies. The first school year is ending soon, after all.

It would probably be the best way to introduce the traitor while also giving Midoriya his first Loss to a villain properly and giving him a reason to continue to get better as a hero. The best thing about this story is you can continue this through their school years well into their proper hero years so there's a lot to sink into. {Spoiler}

{Spoiler}Definitely has to happen soon-ish than later. Maybe during their summer break, though that could be pretty late and the class would probably be separated from each other. My guess, Shiragaki and his team try to get to All for One so he can inherit AfO's quirk. Deku gets involved. Close fight, but Gigantomachia is unleashed. Chaos happens.
On second thought, that seems a bit too contrived. Shiragaki still has stuff he took from Overhaul. No doubt it's gonna come into play, and they still have the doctor who was alongside AfO around (is he? can't recall). Whatever's gonna happen, it's gonna throw things into some crazy stuff.

Also, it's nice that the manga and anime are in close proximity to each other, release-wise. {Spoiler}My guess is the training part of the training camp will continue up to episode 3, and the villain attack gets happening on 4 (or at the end of episode 3)

Hell, we still got All for One himself in jail as you mentioned who wants Shriagaki to inherit his quirk. You can say the dangerous thing about them as they have been made to look like fools a bit so people aren't scared of them as they should be which could be dangerous once everything starts to come out {Spoiler}

S3 episode 2/40 is out! Since it has aired, not sure if spoilers are needed, but might as well. {Spoiler}Main change from the manga as I remember is that the first bit of the training camp where the class had to go through the woods has been expanded a little, giving the whole class a chance to show what they've got. ...though in Tooru's case she was just a distraction. Even Kouda did more by calling upon birds. Would be nice if Tooru gets to show more (hah, I see what I did there) in later manga chapters, since for most part she just kinds of acts like comic relief.
And some speaking lines for the 1-B girls. Ghost-like(?), sleepy looking girl looks interesting. Likewise, would want later chapters in the manga put some focus on class A and B working together. I'm pretty sure we haven't seen the whole class 1-B, too.

I will be watching this later when I can. {Spoiler}

{Spoiler}{Spoiler}{Spoiler}I really liked this episode. Possibly the biggest highlight was Kota bitchslapping Mineta off the wall after after telling him instead of trying to be a hero, he should focus on trying to be a decent human being, first. To the cheers of so many viewers, I’m sure.
This show is unique in that a lot of times, there isn’t a whole heck of a lot that happens per individual episode, but I never feel that any episode is lacking because of how the stories and characters and interactions just flow so well together.
I have a sinking suspicion that the fun is going to start at the end of next week’s episode. I haven’t read much of the manga (only recently got the first Volume), but I know some of what’s coming ahead, and I’m really looking forward to it.
And remember: A punch to the scrotum is unforgiveable Wait. 2/40? This season is going to have 40 episodes?!? Wouldn’t that cause the show to catch up with the manga super quickly?
