Personally I liked it going from cartoonish/comical to badass.
This week had some really good stuff, but also somethings that didn’t work well from my POV.
Kirishima’s speech to Fatgum at the beginning actually did more to build his character than all of last week IMO. Likewise Rappa actually developed from a standard goon to a character with at least a bit of substance. Seeing what motivates him and the respect he earned for Kirishima (although that means he wants a deathmatch with him later ). Also great to see Toga and Twice get actively involved (hadn’t seen Toga get this psychotic/vicious before). And bringing out how Twice feels responsible for the death & injury if his teammates shows the camaraderie that seems lacking in Overhaul’s group.
However, the way they kept jumping around from scene to scene felt out of synch and even the fight choreography didn’t seem to flow very well at times, though it still offer more excitement in a while.
The season seems to be improving somewhat anyway, so hopefully they can keep the momentum going.
