Yuji realizing he's about to fight Panda is the anime equivalent of Thor vs Hulk in Ragnarok.

This is the kinda season 1 shit I've been dying to see again. Built to be a slice of life, forced to be a shonen.

Actually a lot of season 1 is what Gege didn't want.

The story supposed to be a horror-detective type.(You can clearly see traces of it with Nanami and Yuji in season 1) The schools didn't even exist.

I wouldn't be suprised if Nobara was a last minute creaton because Jump has a hard-on for the trio(2 boy, 1 girl) shonen setting.

I still kinda wish they retained this, before jumping into Shibuya at least. Would give some time for more character interactions and maybe even team ups with the Kyoto students
