In this episode, they had Mt.Lady come by and explain how to deal with the press. I wonder if that was in direct response to the interview that Bakugo and Todoroki gave after beating those villains. She explained that a hero's ultimate move is like a calling card, they're a good way for people to remember them, scare villains and just reassure people. They don't just shout out the names of their attacks because it sounds cool, which is completely fine.
They actually brought up the whole traitor thing again too.
They don’t think there’s one among the students at least, but there has to be one.
Like how else did they know where the training camp was, they're getting their information from somewhere, someone feeding the villains.
To have the work-studies be mandated this time by the safety commission because they think something bad is going to happen and they're willing to let the first year students that have their provisonal licenses out again.
Bakugo can name his attacks pretty well, but his hero names are all so bad. Like they're puns in Japanese, but that doesn't translate well into English.
I liked what Best Jeanist said about their hero names being a wish, how you want to be, or how you think you should be. He might not say it, but I think Bakugo really cares about him.
Eri coming in the little suit and not knowing the right traditions for the holidays was so cute.
Once again, Midoriya doesn't have any real options for the work-study in mind. He tried everyone he could think of, but after Sir Nighteye's passing, his agency is too busy, and Grand Torino is too busy as well. So Todoroki actually recommended that they try getting one with Endeavor.
It was a fun episode, I just wish they could have this somehow actually come out during Christmas. In general, I liked this arc. There were some upsets like what happened to Kirishima in his match or how Tokoyami had 2 people down and their team still lost, but it was pretty good.
