English Dub Review: My Hero Academia: Vigilantes “Major”

Overview:

The American hero Captain Celebrity sets up shop in Japan, and it isn’t long before trouble begins.

Our Take:

Regarding hero names, I think Captain Celebrity might be one of the worst. But if we’re ranking them based on how they fit a person, then this one is spot on. Captain Celebrity is as big a douche as he sounds like. He’s a typical womanizer and only cares about helping people so long as there is a crowd and a PR opportunity. It was surprising that Makoto was one of his “cheerleaders,” but what wasn’t surprising was his making a move on her. Fortunately, Makoto is pretty smart and ended up calling his wife to make any issues go away.

The next episode is going to be pretty fun, I think. Koichi’s mother is in town, and of course, he lied and told her that he has a girlfriend. You don’t have to be a genius to figure out that he’s going to get either Pop-Step or Makoto to “pretend” to be his girlfriend. If I had to guess, I would think that he will ask Makoto because she’s more “normal” and isn’t in high school. But it’s clear that Pop-Step has a crush on Koichi, and if he doesn’t ask her, that’s going to cause its own set of problems.
