And just so you’re warned, the first episode of season 6 breaks the pattern and is not a recap- season 6 hits the ground running. Since you’re planning to watch the OVAs anyway, you could watch them all before season 6 to spend more “fun” time with the characters before shit gets serious, or watching after could still work as well as a way to “recover” lol- if you watch them all before season 6, you could still include the one that was released after season 6 called “UA Heroes Battle” as chronologically it actually takes place around where you’re currently at (between Christmas and New Years), just make sure not to watch the opening and ending credits since they are the ones for the second half of season 6 and most likely would spoil you

Next week’s episodes are some of my favorites from this season- you mentioned already watching 17 and 18 which revolve around the Todoroki family, so I’m pretty excited to see that when you’re ready to drop it. The rest of this season after that is pretty interesting too, it’ll be fun to see what you think

We did first learn about quirk enhancers last season during the Overhaul arc- and even though he’s out of commission, I assume there’s still plenty of the drugs he produced out there on the market, as well as those produced elsewhere, so it’s not just something relevant to the filler and the movie- also, keep in mind that Shigaraki took the quirk erasing bullets (I think there were 5, though maybe now 4 since 1 was used on Mirio/Lemillion) when they intercepted Overhaul and took his arms (and thus his ability to use his quirk since it requires his hands)

Yeah, episode 16 is filler- and I believe the post credit is actually a set up for one of the movies (and they designed the episode to indirectly feed into that as well I guess)
