My Hero Academia Season 5 Filler List

Okay, let's be real. We all adore My Hero Academia, right? Explosions, dramatic quirks, and the sheer determination of Deku to become the world's greatest hero. But sometimes, even the best heroes need a little...breather.

And sometimes, that breather comes in the form of...well, filler episodes. You know, those adventures that don't *quite* move the main storyline forward? It's like when you're driving somewhere exciting, but have to stop for gas and a bathroom break. Necessary, but not exactly the thrill you were hoping for.

Season 5: The Filler Files!

Season 5 of MHA had a few of these "bathroom break" moments. So, grab your snacks, maybe fast-forward button handy, and let's dive into the *maybe-skippable* episodes!

The Not-So-Crucial Cases

First up, we have a few episodes that some might consider skippable. Think of them as those side quests in video games that give you a cool item but aren't essential to beating the final boss. Opinions vary wildly on these, but hear me out.

The Joint Training Arc had some stellar moments, but some folks felt it dragged. Maybe you weren't *totally* invested in every single Class 1-B member? It’s okay, we still love them! But if you're feeling the need for speed, some trimming might be in order.

Let's talk about episode 89 "Operation New Improv Moves". It's a fun little breather, a chance to see the students just hanging out. But does it change the grand scheme of things? Probably not. Think of it as watching a blooper reel – entertaining, but not mandatory viewing.

Then there's the latter half of the season, sometimes seen as having pacing issues. Imagine waiting in line for a rollercoaster, only to realize you've been inching forward for ages! It might be good, but the wait, oh, the wait!

Is It *Really* Filler Though?

Now, before you sharpen your pitchforks, let's get something straight. "Filler" can be a harsh word! Sometimes, these episodes offer valuable character development or world-building. It is not always a bad thing.

Episode 98 - The Unforgiven is a recap episode. Recap episodes are like cliffsnotes, they refresh your memory, but don't add new story material. So, feel free to skip if you have a great memory.

Even episodes that feel slow burn can plant seeds for future plotlines. Imagine those seeds as tiny, adorable squirrels burying acorns. You might not see the tree right away, but trust me, it's coming!

Ultimately, it depends on what you want from My Hero Academia. Are you laser-focused on the main plot and epic battles? Then, yeah, some of these episodes might feel like a detour.

The Hero's Choice: Your Call!

But if you're enjoying the ride and soaking up every detail of the U.A. High universe, then these episodes can be a fun bonus. It's like ordering extra toppings on your pizza – not strictly necessary, but definitely makes it more delicious!

Ultimately, deciding what's filler and what's not is a personal choice. There is no right or wrong answer.

So, go forth and watch (or skip!) with confidence! Just remember to enjoy the journey of Deku and his friends. Because even with a few "detours," My Hero Academia is still one amazing ride.

Plus Ultra!
