3 episodes in and although everything's been enjoyable enough, it all feels like we're just doing prep work for whatever story is next.

At this point, I feel like people should be used to the SoL nature of the series. This isn't like the main series, where the focus was mainly on Deku. Here, while Koichi is the main character, the story has no issue shifting focus to the supporting cast. Though I will always find it funny that a major Eraserhead flashback happened in this series instead of in the main series, where it would have been more relevant.

Yeah, I’m fine with the more laidback tone of Vigilantes, and while I do like the leads, some of the best chapters are the ones where they don’t even appear.

Knuckleduster being O'Clock wasn't what I expected, but the parts are all there. We could already surmise that O'Clock stopped renewing his license after losing his quirk, but becoming a vigilante makes sense for a hero who would no longer qualify for anything official. I did think it was interesting that a speed hero's super move would be based around punches, but didn't put it together that it was the boxer in the room.

In the manga, the Aizawa flashback arc comes after the next one, but I suppose they changed the ordering because they thought it would work better in the middle of the season than at the end of it.

The timing of the flashback is weird because originally this lang was running in parallel with main, so the flashback was actually tied to the current events in main. Now it's just weird , but well, they had to do the arc before the sorry was over anyway.
Having seen the designs I am glad they kept someone's " nudist beach" outfit as it is tied to the lore. |

If the upcoming Eraserhead flashback arc is the one I'm thinking it's about (read the manga can't watch crunchyroll) it's gonna a lot of weight to that one moment in the main series.

I remember making my little brother read Aizawa´s past before season 6 began.
It makes 0 sense for this to be in the spin off, outside of it being a ploy to get people to read it of course and still pisses me off. The saddest part, is that this is one of the only 2 good arcs in the whole manga. |

From what I’ve heard it was supposed to be in the main series but Hori couldn’t figure out a way to have the story flow naturally into the flashback so he wound up putting it in the spinoff instead. |

His editor told him to cut it out and Hori was a little bummed about it then, he talked about it with the spin-off team and convinced them to do the full flashback. BTW The same editor wanted to cut the ReDestro arc, he wasn't succesful about it but he shortened greatly. I can blame the reviewer's confusion about Pop being in the mixer, thay have cut a couple fo scenes that give context. - Midnight was during Narufest, and she was impressed by Pop/Kazuho's performance. She's a regular there, and they became friends. - When Aizawa gave the call to Midnight, she was about to meet Pop, she managed to sneak in to the mixer but there was only 3 girls when there was supposed to be 4 for the mixer, instead of adding a random bystander into the investigation, she brings Pop because she trusts her. It's no big deal, but that's the explanation. |

The flashback was later during the manga. Still not in a great place, but less awkward than in the anime. There was an effort to synergize with the main manga since it was happening while Kurogiri was being revealed as Shirakumo in the latter. Of course that got lost due to the timing of the respective anime adaptations.

That makes sense. To some degree, I'm not sure if there is a good place to put something like that since, like the reviews point out, it's more of the story happening around our main characters instead of them being more involved. It also doesn't help that Aizawa and his backstory was already part of the main series, and adding to the backstory of a pro hero in a series that is about vigilantes is a bit out of place no matter what. |

-Be Mashima. -Has flashback he cannot place in the main manga. -Draw the flashback as its own series as a montly manga while still drawing the main series weekly. -Be like Mashima. I am joking by the way, Mashima is a monster. |

On the plus side, having Prince as a hero and (not) Majin Buu fighting (not) Goku on the Flying Nimbus was amusing. But yeah, the flashback is too long, especially when we know where it ends up.

MHAV would be x10 better if the series was about the main 3 hunting street level menaces and Aizawa was the antagonist trying to stop them.
