Is this a training arc? Either way, I’m loving it. It may not be action-heavy, but it focuses on character progression and builds up the next storyline, keeping things engaging.

A great episode that offers a fresh perspective as the students begin their internships. While it focuses more on the main character, it still gives glimpses of others, making the world feel more expanded.

Go, Midoriya! I love this episode—it doesn’t feel slow despite focusing on growth. Seeing Midoriya in a new light was refreshing, and the setup for the upcoming storyline made it even more intriguing.

Not bad

That is what you called an over power Grand pa ! he move like a nibble cat ! The suspense of the hero Killer is on different level ! loved the vibe .

[SPOILER] Introduction of a new legend, Gran Torino, chaotic but lowkey a genius mentor. The change of pace and the focus on controlling the power is very satisfying to watch. The animation for the high speed bouncing is trippy and clean.

Don't be fooled by appearances! The'senile' façade of Gran Torino conceals a legendary racer. The Taiyaki metaphor is revolutionary because it teaches Midoriya that power is a flow rather than a switch. One of the most satisfying episodes to date is seeing Full Cowl's birth.

Episode 14 introduces a dynamic shift in tone with high-energy character interactions and rapid development. The training sequences feel fast and impactful, blending humor with meaningful growth. It’s a strong arc opener that expands the hero world.

EPISODE CONTEXT

Sitting at the midpoint of Season 2, this episode transitions from the Sports Festival arc into the Internship arc, following the students' hero name selections in Episode 13. Midoriya's placement with Gran Torino rather than a conventional hero agency signals a deeper exploration of One For All's mechanics and legacy. The groundwork laid here directly feeds into the escalating threats ahead, particularly the Hero Killer: Stain confrontation that the season is building toward.
