So far, since Midoriya is the protagonist, the series is more inclined towards the idea of presenting a hero who is not at all strongest but does present himself as a brave symbol of peace. That being said, this also lays some ground for the future of the anime’s narrative. So considering Midoriya’s current hold on his powers and abilities, it’s quite questionable if he is truly worthy or not. But if you think about it, even Mirio’s personality and traits do come in tandem with the textbook definition of a superhero. Just like the Pilot, even this episode seems rather uneventful as it only repeats all of its references to Midoriya’s journey of self-actualization and how he is determined to prove that he is indeed the true descendant of All Might’s legacy. My Hero Academia Season 4 Episode 3 Review Somewhere around the end, Night Eye tells Midoriya and Mirio about Overhaul who is starting to take the entire world of villains by storm. Meanwhile, at the academy, while some young heroes of the UA struggle to find legit work-study superheroes, some of them get to work under some of the greatest names like “Hawks”. Though he still questions All Night’s decision of choosing the boy as his superhero descendant, he sees something in him and takes him in for a work-study. But this is when Night Eye realizes that despite being extremely desperate in that situation, Midoriya avoided touching any of his All Might collectibles. Soon, though he does get close, Midoriya runs out of time and he falls to the ground with a bleeding nose.

But Night Eye, whose quirk allows him to foresee all the moves of his enemy, is easily able to defend himself from all of Midoriya’s attacks. Midoriya, for obvious reasons, goes all in and gives it everything he’s got to somehow get his hands on the stamp. This gets Night Eye’s attention and but before approving Midoriya for the work-study, he challenges him to steal the approval stamp from him in a limited span of three minutes. Losing themselves in their fanboyism endeavors, an impassioned conversation sparks between them where they start discussing All Might’s greatness. Trying to turn things around, Midoriya tries to convince him that he tried to impersonate All Might’s face from the “vinegar riverbank incident”. Disappointed, he turns away and dismisses Midoriya’s proposal. He then complains about how Midoriya has not been able to perfectly imitate All Might’s face and has failed to acknowledge the correct size of his wrinkles. With a stern look on his face, Night Eye slowly walks towards Midoriya and examines his face. But instead of finding it funny, Night Eye, who holds All Might in high regard, gets offended by the fact that Midoriya is making fun of him. Somewhere around the end of Episode 2, Midoriya pulled off the perfect metamorphosis of All Might’s face just to make Night Eye laugh. My Hero Academia Season 4 Episode 3 Recap Titled “Boy Meets…”, episode 3 may not be as action-packed and disturbing as its predecessor but it does hold a lot of significance in the overarching plot. That being said, considering its current pace, this might just be one of the last few light-hearted episodes of the season as gradually, we’re heading towards a rather dreary part of this anime.

But very subtly, the anime is actually laying a solid foundation for what lies ahead. Some might dismiss this episode by calling it another filler that’s just trying to delay the best parts of the season.
