Hey wait, what happened to HeroAca episode 5? Don't worry, you're not going crazy - it's missing and I don't know what happened to it. There's kind of a mystique to a lost episode though, right? Well not really I guess. Sorry. We'll fix that sooner or later. Anyway this episode is a doozy, because we covered some hard-hitting shit in it. Strap in for some good, sweet backstory. It's Deku vs. Kacchan, a thrilling battle awaits!
