My Hero Academia’s Best Opening Yet? – What’s in an OP? (Season 3)
A Way Too Deep Analysis of Anime Openings. Today, we look at Odd Future by Uverworld – the new OP for Boku no Hero Academia Season 3. Could it possibly be BETTER than Sora ni Utaeba?

I think the crackling pink lightning around All Might with the burst of yellow at the end represent the power Nana passed down to All Might, and the power All Might has built on his own towards his final battle with All for One. It was a nice detail I didn’t hear you mention.
(I base this on the fact that, whenever the "constellation" of a powerful SMASH comes on, in All Might’s case you can see before the final, yellow "star" there’s a pink one that I think represents Nana, while on Deku before the final, green "star" there’s a yellow one, representing All Might. One could base their respective "power colors" off this.)

Why does Aoyama look at Deku?
October 15, 2018 @ 11:14 pm
One minor mistake when he says talks about the UA teachers vs the pros i’d like to point out Best Jeanist and Kamui Woods are already in position with the UA teachers. However they are not a teacher at UA.

O wow bass drop fuck yeah
October 15, 2018 @ 11:19 pm
Wait
WHERE’S TORU
October 15, 2018 @ 11:20 pm
I’m back for this now
October 15, 2018 @ 11:20 pm
Damn… I’m anime only. I’ll leave this in my watch list for the next 10 weeks I guess..
October 15, 2018 @ 11:22 pm
Op4 is LITTTTTT
October 15, 2018 @ 11:22 pm
When all might punched the floor and created a LITERAL HURRICANE that was my favorite scene. The rocks being blasted away, halted, and then spun around was such a beautiful and badass animation
October 15, 2018 @ 11:26 pm
I caught up to ep 61 from season 2 end in a friggin day jfc. I fell off the anime wagon at the beginning of this year because i had a ton of con stuff and a long trip around japan to plan and enjoy… Its difficult to explain how much i wasn’t prepared for the summer camp and exam arc despite having read the manga..

THIS IS SOOO GOOD
October 15, 2018 @ 11:29 pm
I really like how iconic game theory is. Alot of channels have made a game theory reference
October 15, 2018 @ 11:31 pm
I like it to???????
October 15, 2018 @ 11:32 pm
Its the best one yet especially the all might bit
October 15, 2018 @ 11:33 pm
Wait, you mean some people didn’t like this op? How!?
October 15, 2018 @ 11:34 pm
WAIT, THIS SONG IS BETTER ON SUBWOOFERS? AND I THOUGHT TIS WAS PERFECT LISTENING IT ON MY PHONE))
October 15, 2018 @ 11:35 pm
This is my favorite
October 15, 2018 @ 11:37 pm
I LOVED this OP, especially the part with All Might’s eyes exploding with blue light, very dragon ball Z like lol. Amazing hype!
October 15, 2018 @ 11:40 pm
This was good but Make My Story is sooo much better
October 15, 2018 @ 11:42 pm
wait where is toru again?
October 15, 2018 @ 11:42 pm
Kamui Woods is my favorite UA teacher
October 15, 2018 @ 11:42 pm
I like this OP too??.
October 15, 2018 @ 11:44 pm
Ahhh man that’s actually my favorite op of all of them!!
October 15, 2018 @ 11:45 pm
I just wanted to hear the song instead I have to listen to this youtuber talk the entire time. I clicked through the whole video never being able to just hear the song! UGH!
October 15, 2018 @ 11:46 pm
I love odd future even if I hear it on I pad
October 15, 2018 @ 11:46 pm
A bit sad about the minor spoilers but this analysis is amazing. Perfect work.
October 15, 2018 @ 11:49 pm
To be honest my friend and I loved it when we first saw it mainly becomes the song was awesome but I love how it certain scenes of the opening just flows.
October 15, 2018 @ 11:50 pm
Who the fuck complained about this intro?
October 15, 2018 @ 11:52 pm
You forgot one important thing. Look at deku’s shoes and shigaraki’s shoes
October 15, 2018 @ 11:52 pm
666 likes… somethings wrong here
October 15, 2018 @ 11:54 pm
Todoroki’s prominence could be a reference to how he’s one of the kids who goes to save Bakugou. Momo is also very visible during that shot, and she accompanies them as well.
October 15, 2018 @ 11:55 pm
People complained about this opening? This is one of my favorite OPs I’ve ever watched. Admittedly, I did watch the entire arc after it was already done airing.
October 15, 2018 @ 11:55 pm
DID YOU SAY EYES?!
INASA DOESN’T LIKE COLD EYES
October 15, 2018 @ 11:57 pm
If you point out touro one more time I swear to god xD
October 15, 2018 @ 11:57 pm
The first time I heard Odd Future I LOVED IT. Now I have it in my Spotify playlist.
October 15, 2018 @ 11:57 pm
im nearly done season 2 and so far, the only good OP was the first, hate 2nd and 3rd 🙁
October 15, 2018 @ 11:58 pm
Flashbacks to all the 1:13 jokes…..
October 15, 2018 @ 11:59 pm
What was the song at 5:30
October 16, 2018 @ 12:03 am
Toru? Wait are you joking?
October 16, 2018 @ 12:03 am
I use a phone and I think I hear it ?
October 16, 2018 @ 12:04 am
Did you realize shigaraki is wearing Deku shoes throughout the op
October 16, 2018 @ 12:06 am
its 3 people who’s eyes we don’t see. Don’t forget about Toru’s
October 16, 2018 @ 12:07 am
Who is toru?
October 16, 2018 @ 12:07 am
Wanna get a nightmare ? Imagine if Toei was the animator.
October 16, 2018 @ 12:07 am
14:40 also what’s really cool, Deku’s not turned COMPLETELY away from All Might, which shows that he still leans onto him and his style, which is later shown when Deku needs to compose his special move and comes up with shoot style
October 16, 2018 @ 12:07 am
This song is such a banger tbh
October 16, 2018 @ 12:09 am
I love all the openings.
October 16, 2018 @ 12:09 am
Glad someone else thinks this op was brilliant
October 16, 2018 @ 12:10 am
I feel like I’m just over analyzing this but, shigaraki and Deku both wear red shoes maybe showing another connection to them being linked in some way it’s either that or I’m just over analyzing it ?
