Found out that 90% of My Hero Academia fans skipped season 4 arc

Saw this stat on a Reddit poll by some guy with too much time. Checked the episode view counts on Crunchyroll. 9 out of 10 people just jumped to season 5. Never would have guessed that many skipped the Overhaul stuff. Anyone else surprised by that metric?

Whoa hold on, I'm gonna push back on this one hard. Look, the Overhaul arc dragged like crazy in the anime with all those recaps and slow pacing, I actually dropped it myself for a few weeks. If someone just wants to get to the war arc to see the big fights they paid for, I get it. Side characters like Kirishima getting a whole flashback episode when the main plot is stuck feels like filler sometimes. Plus you can read a 2 minute wiki summary and know everything important that happens, so really who cares if people skip?

MAN, that's WILD. My buddy Mark literally tried to catch up on MHA before season 6 dropped and he texted me asking what the deal was with all the Yakuza stuff. He was SO confused why everyone was suddenly talking about a little girl with a quirk erasure bullet. I told him he skipped the best part, that whole Overhaul fight with Mirio was INSANE. He just said he didn't have time for a "slow arc" and wanted to get to the war stuff faster.
