My Hero Academia Season Four Episode Seven, GO! Review: It Gets Noisy.

3 and a half stars
The fight to rescue Eri officially began in the seventh episode of season four, the appropriately titled “GO!”
On par with the previous episode, “GO!” serves as good buildup for the fights that we will be seeing in subsequent episodes.
Picking up in the aftermath of Nighteye revealing the dark truth of what is happening to Eri, Deku and the other students are on standby while the pro-heroes try to find her locations.
It is during this time that we get both a lot of funny and emotional moments as the characters prepare themselves.
Deku and Mirio remain constantly intense and focused due to their desire to rescue Eri as seen by a touching scene where Iida and Todoroki attempt to share Deku up.
As for the other characters, they are a lot more comedic.
There is the funny moment when Bakugo demands to know what they have learned only for Kirishima to shout out that they can’t tell.
The funniest, and probably most adorable moment, though, comes after a text is sent out confirming Eri’s location has been found.
As Mirio meets outside with Nejire and Tamaki, Nejire has her implausibly long hair tied around her like a scarf in a humorously adorable moment.
However, “GO!” is not all fun and games as proven from the moment Nighteye discovers where Eri is.
This scene provides a flashback that perfectly shows Nighteye’s quirk in usage, much like a film projector, before the pro-heroes and students go to rescue the girl.
Unfortunately, Overhaul knows they are coming and goes to see the comatose boss of the Yakuza, apologizing to him because, “things are about to get noisy.”
And noisy they get because as soon as the police ring the doorbell one of the eight expendable bullets of the Shie Hissaikai bursts through the door, ready to fight.
This leads to a great display of many characters’ quirks, especially Ryukyu who turns into a dragon.
Another instance of a new quirk usage comes with Rock Lock who can freeze moving objects in place, which he uses to cross buildings.
Back to the action at hand, the characters rush towards the building to find Eri as the episode ends with Deku and Mirio thinking for the hundredth time that they will definitely, definitely, definitely, definitely, definitively save her.
That’s a lot of definitelys.
In any case, while the amount of time the two characters say this over the course of the episode does get repetitive, you can still clearly see their dedication to making up for not rescuing the girl earlier.
I would say that “GO!” is probably as good as the previous episode of My Hero Academia.
All of its buildup will finally payoff next episode with the eight expendable bullets coming into play, leading to standout moments from both Tamaki and Kirishima in future episodes.
