Okay, let's talk My Hero Academia Season 5! Forget the intense hero battles and strategic training for a second. This season was lowkey hilarious.
The "Joint Training" Arc: A Comedy of Errors (and Quirks)
Remember the "Joint Training" arc? Class 1-A versus Class 1-B! It was supposed to be a serious showcase of their growth.
But honestly, it felt like watching a bunch of teenagers trying to figure out their superpowers while simultaneously dealing with raging hormones and awkward rivalries. Think chaotic energy meets superhero shenanigans.
Monoma's Mind Games
Oh, Monoma. Bless his antagonizing heart. He spent the entire arc trying to get under Class 1-A's skin, and it was glorious.
His constant taunts and desperate attempts to prove Class 1-B was superior? Chef's kiss. The guy is a walking, talking meme.
His copying quirk plus his superiority complex made for some truly laugh-out-loud moments. Every appearance he made was a guaranteed giggle fit.
Bakugo's Explosive "Therapy"
And then there's Bakugo. Remember his team battles? He was basically undergoing anger management therapy...via explosions.
Seeing him try (and sometimes fail spectacularly) to cooperate with his classmates was surprisingly heartwarming. Especially his begrudging respect for his team!
Who knew that watching a perpetually angry Pomeranian learn to play nice could be so entertaining?
Shinsou's Big Debut
We finally got to see Shinsou in action! After all the hype, it was amazing to see him using his brainwashing quirk in a team setting.
He's a seriously powerful character, and his strategic thinking was seriously impressive. Even better was how his interactions with the other students showed his growth.
Seeing him try and fail to make friends, and finally finding common ground with Deku was truly a heartwarming moment. It makes you root for him.
More Than Just Fights
Season 5 definitely had its serious moments, with the setup of the Paranormal Liberation Front.
But in between all the doom and gloom, there were pockets of pure, unadulterated fun.
It reminded us that even in a world of superheroes and villains, these are still just kids figuring things out. It's relatable.

The friendships, the rivalries, the awkwardness of adolescence - all amplified by superpowers. It’s a messy, hilarious, and ultimately heartwarming journey.
