KEY POINTS

  • Juzo Honenuki is giving a tough time to Shoto and the others from Class A
  • Class B continues to shine in the training battles
  • "My Hero Academia" Season 5, Episode 8 is airing this Saturday

The third match is heading toward the finale as the Class A team faces tough completion from Class B's Juzo Honenuki. "My Hero Academia" Season 5, Episode 8 is titled "Match 3 Conclusion."

The official preview trailer for Episode 8 teases Honenuki becoming one of the most important players from the Class B team. However, Izuku Midoriya believes Class A can still bounce back in the match if they utilize Iida's new Recipro Turbo technique and Shoto Todoroki's left side.

Midoriya is banking on Shoto and wants him to give his best. He wants Shoto to use his skills and become what he wants to be.

In the previous episode, the third match begins. It is revealed the match will happen in a different location within the industrial facility. Class A's Shoto has two wide-range attacks of ice and flame, while Iida has speed; Shoji depends on his remarkable scout capabilities and Ojiro is excellent at close combat.

Midoriya notes Class A is sending a balanced team for the third match. Before going into the match, Shoto remembers the last battle featuring Endeavor and Hawks. He also recalls his childhood training days under Endeavor who wanted him to become the best in the Todoroki family.

The flashback gives a hint at how Endeavor was hard on his kids, including Shoto.

The episode also reveals how Midoriya must remain careful before he faces Hitoshi Shinso in the fifth round.
