Scope expansion in sequels is a common thing, but at times can be really harmful. Bigger does not always equal better, and Weak Hero Class 1's smaller scope and more personal story of friendship, bullying and betrayal was one that hit a lot harder and had me far more invested.

Weak Hero Class 2 is a fun short little action show with some heartfelt scenes but at the same time it is one that just becomes comically absurd that it enters into borderline fantasy story. Whole highschool mafia and childhood connection bull, the one note characters with 1 or 2 personality traits that are barely explored due to the time constraints, the show is trying to do everything all at once and didn't succeed in excelling in anything.

What were very fun and brutal action scenes in the first season that featured brutal hits that held weight and dealt damage, Season 2 opts to make every character take superhero levels of damage. The coreography is fun but the hits hold no weight, no meaning, what's 1 shot to the knee versus like 50?

It's a betrayal to the core of the first season, but as its own fun short highschool bromance romp it has its charm.
