I appreciate the insight, but it doesn't solve the ongoing problem. But we'll see. The chapter was so short. The corrupted situation seems to be taken care for now, with Deku already about to unlock something or rather fix something. Other than that, it was an okay chapter. I seriously hope next year is far better for this series. It's still upsetting that the side characters continue to disappoint and really, it only makes it harder to care in the long run. The effect is stronger than ever, so it's going to be a challenge for me to care. It's worse when you realized the weakest portion of the series are when the side character get the focus. That is bad. Anyway, end this arc and renew my hope.

Personally, I think y'all have become wayyyy too jaded with what happened with Naruto. IMO, the arc itself is perfectly fine. It's just that Horikoshi's got other stuff on his plate. Aside from likely health issues, he's also in the middle of moving out to a bigger studio (as he should be for a top-tier mangaka). There were better story direction decisions he could've taken, sure. But it's hardly consequential in the bigger picture of things.

For example, maybe I could've had the first two sets won by Class A, followed by a tie and a loss or maybe there should've been 4 sets instead of 5, but really, it wouldn't have changed much. And to everyone complaining about Momo's loss, seriously..... People are making such a huge fuss over it that they don't see how much she'd actually accomplished at that time.

That line about "you have a good childhood friend" was frankly embarrassing, and it was insulting that All Might was the one to say it. Horikoshi's obsession with Bakugou is disgusting.

It's incredibly ironic that Horikoshi can write Endeavor so well, and yet he can't bring himself to do the same for Bakugou. It's a stretch to hope for a quirk-erasing bullet to hit him at this point (meanwhile Endeavor gets a nasty karmic scar across his face).

Hey guys! MHA finally got 2nd place behind OP this year!!

I saw someone on tvtropes claiming Joshua Hamilton stated that Keith and Acxa are definitely not blood-related on the Let's Voltron podcast. So, if anyone can confirm this, please come forward.

Also, just a thought: I predict we're getting a 2-year timeskip in the next season, and I'm really hoping Katie grows her hair out again.

As for Allurance, I definitely agree it felt rushed. Last season, I did feel that they were growing closer as good friends, but the leap from that to what we have now is a bit...jarring to say the least. I don't really support it, but I'm not gonna deny they do have some development. I just think it was too rushed. But most of all, I don't think the writers properly developed the chemistry between them. Whereas plance's chemistry was being subtly developed from the beginning imo.

They also tried very light ship-baiting with Keith x Acxa, but we all saw through that (and I am so freaking glad to see Plance flourishing on a romantic note in this season).

How so? Don't get me wrong, I'm a plance shipper as well. But I don't think there was any particular moment that would've opened up a strong possibility for them to end up together. Unless you were actually talking about Lance/Allura....

As for Keith/Acxa, I'm still iffy on that even though I'd be onboard with it. The thing that gets me is their last scene in the current season, where Keith and Krolia visits Keith's father's grave. Instead of seeing it through shipping goggles, I'm still suspicious that Acxa might be Keith's half-sister that Krolia never knew or something. Or maybe even a cousin.
