A draw.

And, with that my predictions are thrown out the window. But, let’s backtrack. Iida woke up but couldn’t move, leaving Pony, Shoji, and Ojiro to duke it out for the win. Naturally, Ojiro gets thrown in jail evening the score to one apiece. Now, I’ll give Tailman credit for freeing Shoji, but the jail thing balances his performance to zero. Sorry, Ojiro.

Meaning, Class A is screwed.

Todoroki didn’t have a specific heat attack, he simply increased his fire output to dangerous levels. Not what I expected, but still cool, ha. It’s also a stepping stone for Todoroki to began copying Endeavor’s actual fire attacks.

Ojiro did something, Y’all! He helped takedown Pony with Shoji. But, Mudman ruined their day. I’m assuming Ojiro and Shoji are trapped in the now hardened ground, leaving Pony to, I don’t know, win the game?

Let’s review.

And, Todoroki’s the coolest in Class A. Get it? No? I’ll explain later.

We learn how Iida developed Recipro Turbo, by self-mutilation. And training. Can’t forget the training. But, mostly by ripping out body parts. Thanks, Grandpa Iida!

Mudman does the smart thing and escapes to back up tetsutetsu while Iida does the same for Ojiro. That’s one Class B student down, three to go. Maybe Ojiro can pull himself together and help take down Mudman. HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA! Woo! But, seriously, I hope he does something useful.

Juzo isn’t a recommended student for nothing.

As predicted, he’s the guy leading Class B to victory, dealing with Todoroki’s ice, as well as, making objects soft ahead of time. I expect a short flashback about him getting into UA soon.

Poor Ojiro is in trouble. I need to know what’s so awesome about him. I want to see him shine as a character at least once this match, to show why he’s a UA student. More so, I want Ojiro to be the exception. To be someone who got into UA almost purely by hard work and training, not by his quirk. Because let’s be honest, Ojiro’s quirk isn’t amazing. It isn’t flashy. It isn’t overflowing in potential. Doesn’t mean Ojiro isn’t any of those things, but it does mean he has to work harder to make his quirk useful. I want to see that.

My Hero Academia is off next week and I couldn’t be happier. Seriously. Horikoshi deserves a freaking break!

I hope someone plays this song for Tokoyami.
Since this was another short chapter (Don’t waste your break only playing Spider-man on PS4, Hirokoshi.) we don’t get to see Aizawa punching Aoyama and Hagakure in the face, but let’s assume it happened off-panel. We gear up for match #3. Team Idia VS Team Tetsutetsu.

We get some foreshadowing that Todoroki will use at least one of Endeavor’s attacks this match. He’s never done it in a fight so far. Should be an interesting moment. Meanwhile, Iida is ready to prove why he’s in most official My Hero Academia promo art. Let’s hope he earns his keep or the upcoming X-mas poster will have Mineta instead. Eek!

Is there really anything fighting wise left for Toshinori to teach Deku?

The kid already knows the basics and has copied almost every one of All Might’s attacks (Oklahoma Smash being the only move he hasn’t yet performed comes to mind). Face it, Toshinori has the knowledge and experience to continue mentoring Deku, even helping Deku improve his current abilities. But, when it comes to coming up with new fighting moves I think the former #1 is tapped out.

But, this is a battle shonen, right? Deku has to learn new moves, right? So, what will he do? Easy, get someone else to teach him. No, not Aizawa? And, not Gran Torino. I’m talking about seven teachers who’ve been with him since the day he ate All Might’s mighty hair: The previous One For All users.
