So for any anime-onlys thinking about the next fight, the two teams and their quirks are (without spoilers):

Team Todoroki:
Todoroki Shoto - Half hot, half cold
Iida Tenya - Engine
Shoji Something - Dupli-Arms
Ojiro Blandman - Has a tail

Team Tetsutetsu:
Tetsutetsu Tetsutetsu - Steel
Honenuki Juzo - Softening
Kaibara Sen - Spiral
Deathhoof Bloodsparkle - Horn Cannon

Who will win? Who will die? Place your bets now!

Class B lost last time, so Class A is going to win.

Class A has two of the strongest quirks and one of the most useful, common sense says they have this easily.

So narrative sense says they screw it up and Class B wins.

Considering these school fights are operating under "punch people in the head so hard they go unconscious rules or else get choked out by foreign objects in your windpipe" I think he's got this one in the bag

At this point being let in on recommendations just means that someone is going to beat you but feel like they lost. We saw that happen in this arc and before with Bakugo v. Todoroki

You gotta make the rich kids feel like they accomplished something, their families donate a lot to the school.

You do not look terribly noble and yet I feel troubled, attracted, bewitched.

Narrative tension sorta dictates that they will be 2-2 going into the final match with deku et. al. The only question is whether bakugo or todoroki is gonna drop the ball. Smart money's on bakugo loving up but we'll see.

Also, it's been threatened that if shinso does well enough someone will get dropped from the hero course. The only one i would be sad about leaving is Monoma. I love his brand of dr. House-esque competence and assholeshness.

Nothing. There is nothing at stake and no threat... beyond the shame of defeat.

(Also, if Shinso does well, he might get into the hero course.)

Of course not, this is a school. Bragging rights are all that should matter to Hero students in such a setting.

All Might was filled with the deepest regret as he finished page 50 of Midoriya's Omega-Verse fanfiction. He let out a long sigh while thinking to himself that stopping now wouldn't be very Plus Ultra of him. As he turned the page it felt heavy on his fingertips, heavier than the weight he shouldered as the world's symbol of peace and justice.

I wonder is that something he can keep doing or is it just a one-off like losing your baby teeth?

I think it's something they can do multiple times, but it's somewhat pointless without large amounts of growth that'd make the pain and time being out of action worth it

Yeah that was extraordinarily gross looking.

I really like Honenuki for both his quirk and his chill attitude. The ability to turn any non-living material you touch into something with the consistency of jello has a lot of really good ambush applications and he's clearly smart enough to utilize it that way. He's a neat character and it's a shame he's in 1-B where we see so little of him.

Todoroki's gonna show what happens when you heat up and then freeze metal and alternate it quickly. Spoiler: It's not great.

It's more "Get metal really hot and then cool it too quickly" that's the problem.

So far.

Tetsutetsu hearing that they should keep damage to a minimum and then immediately starting to wreck everything will never not be funny to me. I like that it's ambiguous if he understands that its his teams best strategy too.

Todoroki blows up everyone on the opposing team and destroys the entire fake city they're in- to the applause of the rest of 1-B because they're cool with incredible levels of violence in training exercises.

Apparently changes made by quirks can be passed along genetically even if the quirk itself was not. So you can inherit physical changes like horse or bird features without having an actual horse/bird quirk and then get a completely separate quirk along with it.
