Class A sends Sato, Jiro, Bakugo and Sero. It is a fairly balanced team but they need to be careful as Class B is bringing in Tokage.

In the previous episode, Tensei Iida and Juzo Honenuki continue the battle after Shoto Todoroki's massive ice attack that engulfed a significant portion of the battle zone. Honenuki, who is buried under a thick layer of snow, powers up and goes full throttle.

He uses his new power, called Recipro Turbo, to go after Iida. At this point, Iida wonders if Honenuki can beat him using the new power. When Honenuki hits him, Iida is blown away. He knows he cannot counter Honenuki in his current form.

Iida decides to retreat and head over to Tetsutetsu and the others.

Meanwhile, Izuku Midoriya and his classmates are watching the match on a giant screen. Midoriya is surprised to see Honenuki and comments he is even faster than Gran Torino.
