This review contains spoilers for My Hero Academia Season 4, episode 10, aka episode 73 overall, “Temp Squad.”
The final moment of My Hero Academia Season 4, Episode 9 was the most intense and beautifully animated of the whole episode, and so what better way to hype us up as we leap into Episode 10, “Temp Squad,” than to recap that moment? It’s an unnecessary reminder, plot-wise, and it doesn’t set up the episode in any meaningful way, but it’s visceral and exciting all the same.
Something that Season 4 has been increasingly good at is fleshing out the stories of supporting characters on the hero side of the fight, and “Temp Squad” even gives attention to one of its enemy henchmen once the episode gets going. While we’ve now had two full episodes dedicated to the background, personal struggles, and motivations of Class 1-A member Red Riot, here we also get into the mind of his current adversary: Rappa, the “spear” of the “spear and shield” pair which Red Riot and Fat Gum faced off against in the previous episode.
