C&C - My Hero Academia - "Long Time No See, Selkie" [8/21]

[Nobodyman]

Opening Theme: "Merry-Go-Round" by Man with a Mission
Ending Theme: "Uso ja nai" by Soshi Sakiyama

Previously on My Hero Academia: With Hawks’ message in hand, Endeavor now understands the true reason behind the Hero Public Safety Commission bringing back the Work Study program: to ensure everyone is ready for the forthcoming attack of Shigaraki and his combined forces. Accepting Midoriya and Bakugo as his students, Endeavor first seeks to understand what each has to work on. Midoriya hopes to master all of his other quirks, and Bakugo desires to know what he is missing besides strength. Todoroki interjects, intending to learn everything he can from Endeavor, to become someone like All Might. Endeavor sets a goal for his interns, to defeat a villain before he can by the work studies’ end. Thinking of Tokoyami and the other young heroes of the next generation, Hawks sets his own goal: The villains will not succeed, and hopefully everyone will still be smiling by spring.

Tonight: Ryukyu brings her work study students with her when Selkie asks her to team up with him.

Notes: A reminder that MHA airs at 12:30 AM starting tonight. Remember to catch it then!

Note: This is a filler tie-in episode to promote the newest film, "World Heroes' Mission". Unlike the one that promoted the first movie back in season 3, which was an out-of-sequence story in the middle of an unrelated arc, this one is actually set during the arc we're currently in.

Which adds credence to the theory as to why they moved the Endeavor Agency arc to before the MVA arc.

 

[Space Cadet]

So, we get another movie-tie in episode, those are always fun to watch.

 

[Nobodyman]

Previously on MHA: Just so you know, the other kids are doin' stuff too.

We doin' Christmas stuff again?

Oh, it's a recap.

 

[Kitschensyngk]

Oh, this is filler? Okay, no recap then.

Meanwhile, back at the Christmas party...

Happy winter breaks, kids! Ha ha...HEROES DON'T GET WINTER BREAKS!

All the better to hug Deku with.
Though isn't wearing steel balls on your wrists sort of impractical?

 

[Nobodyman]

Yes, I'm sure those big bulging gauntlets will be easy to move around in.

It's not just a filler episode, it's a "girls" filler episode!

Wildfire? We bringing California into this now?

Return of Sea Lion Man!

Get it? He's a NAVY Seal.

 

[Kitschensyngk]

I thought Trigger made Kill la Kill, BNA and Little Witch Academia.

A Nuke factory exploded? Kain won't be pleased.

 

[Kitschensyngk]

Get it? He's a NAVY Seal.

Which one is the skipper?

 

[Nobodyman]

FAAAAAANSERVIIIIIIIIIICE!!!

Yep. It's the obligatory beach episode.

 

[Space Cadet]

This turned into a beach episode all of a sudden.

 

[Kitschensyngk]

The beach. It's one of THOSE episodes.

I thought they were an excuse to show the girls in swimsuits.

 

[Nobodyman]

The Girl With the Dragon...Body.

Violent and villainous and porous is he.

Her voice gets very masculine in her dragon form.

 

[Kitschensyngk]

Watch out for runaway blonde debutantes in submarines!

Are you Sirius?

"I'll be over here with the binoculars if anyone needs me."

Too much Bloody Eye.

WINNERS DON'T USE DRUGS!!

 

[Nobodyman]

Fly a plane? She doesn't even have a learner's permit!

Ze plane! Ze plane!

Uravity's barfing rainbows.

 

[Kitschensyngk]

Oh, that's what those things do.

Pull back on the throttle!

He shouldn't have had the fish.

*cue the "Blue Danube"*

 

[Nobodyman]

Sooooo...what did any of that have to do with the movie? Guess we'll find out when we see it.

Ah, there we go.

 

[Kitschensyngk]

And more swimsuits. With hats this time.

Otheon? Where in Europe is that? Is there some kind of show or movie we should watch to understand it?

Ahh, the famous Pink-err, Gold Panther.

"Humanity will soon know salvation."
At a theater near you.

 

[WickedChild]

In tonight's episode:

 

[marklungo]

This might have been a filler episode, but at least it was a fun filler episode.

 

[Yojimbo]

lol, different first days.

Mm, so that drug is still in play. And it's called Trigger. First time I think it was given a name in the show?

Obligatory beach fanservice. Check.

Yeah, not too swift if they were only counting on obscuring visuals...

Happy to see Uraraka going beyond her limits and the grappling gauntlets were a neat addition.

Kaflin? Otheon? Googles. Ah, ok. That's the movie tie-in. Otheon comes up in World Hero Mission. And this Flect character must be the movie's big bad. Maybe Otheon is an Othello nod? To Cyprus or Venice? Shrug.
