Knowing that Red Riot will be a vital character in the events of this arc, in turn, makes the insertion of a little portion of his backstory during the battle scenes quite understandable. This explains how, when the episode resumes after the credits, the name Red Riot is all over the news. Some of this extra content makes sense, such as the extension of the aftermath of the Red Riot battle scene where one of the bystanders asks Kirishima for his hero name.

Deku’s concluding monologue after the credits (which come in very early at the 19-minute mark) feels particularly egregious thanks to its reiterative nature. The addition of a fair amount of anime-original content also feels like an admission on Studio BONES’ part that they cut things a little short this time around. What makes this even worse is the fact that the meeting isn’t even finished by the time the episode is over! My Hero Academia 4 Episode 5 also sees fit to reiterate on the meeting between Shigaraki and Overhaul, which was already established last week. There’s also the fact that all of this content is largely tangential to the main plot, even if it does hint at what the contents of Overhaul’s evil plan might be with all of the Quirk-boosting and erasing drugs. There’s a real sense that the content of this episode is stretched quite thin, as it only covers about three chapters from the middle of chapter 131, where last week’s episode left off, to the middle of chapter 134 once more. My Hero Academia 4 Episode 5: Stretched Thinįor however fantastic those two cuts in My Hero Academia 4 Episode 5 were, however, I wouldn’t blame you if you came away from this episode slightly disappointed. Nakamura’s cut is ultimately more tangential, even if it is great to look at. The development of Kirishima as a character is one of the main focuses of this arc, and this is delivered above all else through the representation of his Quirk – so it’s great to see that the staff over at Studio BONES already have that aspect already firmly under control. That’s not because the Red Riot cut is somehow better than the initial cut, but because it matters much more to the story. Nakamura’s cut at the very beginning of My Hero Academia 4 Episode 5 was certainly great, but I’d say that Uda’s cut just edges out ahead. Effects and action lines really emphasize how much Kirishima’s body is being pushed beyond its limits, before finishing off with a stylish pose. Uda’s cut hardly captures the same level of detail as the artwork in the original manga, but she more than makes up for that with how deftly she is able to capture the motion of Kirishima’s Quirk in action.
