Trivial Highlights

This episode was made from the same taping as US-340

• Listen closely during Party Quirks as Ryan uses his Quirk to pick on Drew
  • Drew through laughter "I'm gonna kill you (2x), you're a dead man, you're f*cked up" -- The censors never caught that!
• This episode is incorrectly labeled as Season 1 Episode 5 on CWSeed
