Finally at camp and out of the forest, class 1A sets about strengthening their perks, soon joined by class 1B, but all is not well for the heroes. The episode opens on Vlad King telling class 1B what they'll be doing and how he wants them to shine like 1A has done previously. When a student asks how they'll be training when everyone has different perks, he simply explains they'll be training themselves like any normal work out, pushing their perks past their limit to get used to and past the negative effects. The group finds class 1A already working to strengthen their perks, and are horrified at the grueling difficulty and manner Tiger of the Wild, Wild Pussycats. Class 1B asks again how everyone's quirks will be kept in check with such training, and the Pussycats explain their own group's powerset can keep track of everyone. With the ability to monitor everyone, the Pusscyats serve as a way to quickly train the students, who have less time than normal to advance. Despite struggling to improve, Midoriya remembers that after being given a power too strong for him, he was able to get better with help from All Might and Gran Torino. As he continues working, an annoyed Kota watches. Class 1A learns they have to start cooking their own food, which Iida quickly realizes is to train them to feed victims of disaster situations, and encourages the others. Though Momo says everyone needs to learn how to make a fire, the group tries and fails to use Bakugou's quirk to cook, but succeeds with Todoroki's. As the group eats and some accidental insults are said, Kota walks away from the group, disgusted, which Midoriya notices. He brings curry to the boy, who becomes more angry that Midoriya found his "secret place." Though trying to help, Midoriya's efforts to relate to Kota only serve to enrage the boy further. As the class sleeps, a group of villains led by Dabi arrives. Despite some being anxious to attack, Dabi says they need to wait for three more people. Explaining a small, experienced group is better than a bunch of power, Dabi says they're going to prove they hold the heroes's peace in their hands. As most of 1A struggles with their training, a small group suffers the most, having to take long classes with Aizawa along with their training as a result of low test scores. Aizawa also warns Uraraka and Aoyoma, who almost failed their tests, and tells everyone to remember where they came from to understand how and why they need to keep pushing forward. Midoriya asks if any other teachers will be coming, and Aizawa explains that like he said when they learned the camp had been moved, the school had to keep things quiet. With All Might especially a target, few were told and no other would come. The classes worry when the Pussycats say fun will come after the hard work, and Midoriya is broken from a stupor about All Might by Tiger pulling him back to train. While preparing dinner, Uraraka is shocked that Bakugou is good with a knife, and Midoriya opens up to Todoroki about Kota. Todoroki says it's likely hard to reach the boy because they are all strangers to him. Explaining that words need to be followed by action, he suggests Midoriya not keep poking into the situation, as he tends to do. After dinner, the Pussycats explain the coming game to the students. While teams from one class enter, teams from the other will wait in within and try to scare them. Not all goes as planned, however, and the heroes and students are in for a violent sudden end to their game. The season so far is definitely picking up faster than the first episode, a filler, did. According to the My Hero Academia Fandom Wikipedia, the scene in which we see the students training their quirks wasn't shown in the manga. While I'm a constant reader of the manga, I'd forgotten this wasn't shown before, but was glad to see it here, as it was interesting how many different kinds of training were going on at once for all the different quirks. One can't help but feel bad for the group that has to take extra lessons, but considering how hard they're working and having Aizawa as a teacher, it's just more likely that they'll improve. Though it's great seeing Midoriya try to reach Kota, it's also good that Bakugou is warning him about his method of helping people. Midoriya has a habit of going out of his way to try helping people, which is admirable, but sometimes all he can do is talk. Without anything backing up his words, he could come off as just saying he knows what a person is going through, with no evidence to get them to believe him. At the same time, he himself is struggling with his own issues and doesn't yet fully understand how to help others as a hero. He of course knows he needs to try, and is getting better at using One for All, but he's often naturally more down and not a symbol of happiness to people like All Might is. Without a cheerful disposition to inspire, many people see him first as a gloomy kid and it takes a lot longer than it should for them to warm up to him. Obviously one big question is what Dabi and the others are exactly planning, though they clearly have quite a few powers going for them. In particular, his ability to instantly rot things will prove dangerous for those who come in contact with him, much like when people interact with Shigaraki. Them attacking now will have extremely negative effects, both considering my prior knowledge from reading the manga and from the current situation in hero society. At the same time, though, it will provide Midoriya the opportunity to help Kota b actually having action to back up his words. Only a few episodes in, the action is already kicking up, and viewers are in for quite a few fights soon.
