The new class of heroes finally have their own costumes! However, a new test begins where Izuku is paired up with his crush Ochako and they have to prepare to face off against..Bakugo.
You don't want to shake hands with him..
This week's episode really hit the right notes when it comes being a fun preview to what will come next time. We got Izuku or "Deku" getting his hero costume at last which is a funny green homage to All Might's look! Meanwhile his other classmates including Bakugo get their own new interesting designs as well. At this point U.A. High School is turning into the Hogwarts of Super Heroes when it comes to how the classes are taught by providing courses that teach fun situations in this fictional world.
One scene that got to me so easily was when Izuku's mother apologized to him for giving up on his dream. I know to plenty it was just "aww that's cute" but for me..I could understand that's how it is for
a lot of families when it comes to really tough situations. Not all dreams can be accomplished so simply and sometimes parents really feel like they are doing you a favor by teaching you reality when they themselves aren't aware its still possible to reach said goal.
Costume..check. Adorable love interest..CHECK.
The second half began the prologue to Izuku vs Bakugo where we see both of them go through their own inner dialogue about one another. We got Izuku really making the point home that he isn't going to just give up anymore and cry. Bakugo on the other hand is MAD LIKE CRAZY because he is under the impression the seemingly wimpy Deku that he knew his entire life has been HOLDING BACK his powers(unaware All Might was what caused it).
Can I just say upfront that Ochako is flat out adorable? Her motivation towards Izuku's nickname of "Deku" made the entire episode really come together into a full circle. The term "Deku" started out as just as Bakugo's way of acting like Izuku was a failure when now the term is evolving into the words "YOU CAN DO IT!!!"
