Previously on My Hero Academia: That night, Midoriya and Bakugo spar in Gym Gamma in hope of getting Blackwhip to manifest. Midoriya acknowledges that since he refused to use the quirk until he better mastered One For All, it won’t manifest until then. Bakugo leaves Midoriya deep in thought after pointing out how One For All has become quite similar to All For One. The next day, Aizawa brings Monoma to the dorm in hope of him being able to help Eri train by copying her quirk. Monoma is unable to do so as his quirk doesn’t work well with those that require energy to activate. With encouraging words from Midoriya, Eri still intends to master her quirk and the feeling is mutual for Midoriya. Having finally earned their Hero Licenses, Bakugo and Todoroki take to the snowy streets and defeat a gang of thieves called, Cider House. After they've been dealt with, the Bakugo and Shoto arrived back at the Heights Alliance, only to find out surprised by the rest of their Class congratulating them all for passing their exam. Izuku excitingly states that now they can do hero work together, causing Katsuki to rage telling him not to look down on him.
Tonight: It's Christmas at U.A. and the Class 1-A students celebrate with a Christmas party.
Notes: Tonight we get special back-to-back premiere episodes of MHA! Be sure to catch them at 12:00 and 12:30!
Also, this episode kicks off a somewhat controversial development in the anime (as if this season didn't have enough problems) in that it skips over the story arc that came next, sequentially, in the manga and goes ahead to the arc right after. I'm not exactly sure why this decision was made, bur rest assured that, since the skipped arc is very important to the overall story, it has very likely only been pushed back.
Oh, and Happy Christmas in July! (just barely)
