* SurprisinglyRealisticOutcome: Midoriya studying Bakugo's moves let him get an early upper hand, but that's not enough for him to win.

* SurprisinglyRealisticOutcome: Midoriya studying Bakugo's moves let him get an early upper hand, but that's not enough for him to win. He only just gained One For All and can't use it without damaging his body. On top of that he can't use it directly against Bakugo or it will kill him. Bakugo on the other hand has had his Quirk for years and doesn't have to worry about killing Midoriya by accident, allowing him to take the upper hand. Midoriya and Uraraka win the training exercise but it's clear Midoriya has a long way to go before he can take on Bakugo with any chance of victory.

** Bakugo rushing off to fight Midoriya costs him and Ida the training exercise since all he can think about is beating Midoriya. Midoriya and Uraraka on the other hand worked as a team and focused on winning the exercise, allowing them to prevail.
* TookALevelInBadass: Midoriya stands up to Bakugo during the exercise, and vows to give the "Deku" insult he has endured over the years a more heroic meaning thanks to Uraraka.

* ArcVillain: While "villain" is a bit strong, [[TheRival Bakugo]] is the primary antagonist of the arc.

* SayingTooMuch: Midoriya is supposed to keep One For All a secret, but he instinctivy confesses to Bakugo about it and plans to make the given power his own. Though he catches himself too late, Bakugo is too frustrated to listen, much less believe him. All Might later chastises Midoriya since, while One For All can only be surrendered ''willingly'', the wrong person with that knowledge can force him to do so.

* CassandraTruth: After the trial is over Midoriya runs up to Bakugo and tries to explain to him that he wasn't tricking him since they were kids and that his Quirk is something he only just recently inherited from someone else and not something he has full control over yet. Bakugo doesn't by that and thinks Midoriya is lying to him noting that he lost and won't let Midoriya beat him again.

* CurbStompBattle: Todoroki gives one to Ojiro and Hagakure.

* ConvenientlyEmptyBuilding: {{Averted}}; the U.A. kids are taught from the very beginning to avoid property damage whenever possible because this trope isn't in play. As such, both Bakugo and Midoriya lose standing in the results for firing off massive blasts while fighting indoors.

* PyrrhicVictory: The Heroes vs. Villains training exercise ends up as this for Midoriya and Uraraka -- although they won by the conditions of the exercise, Ida and Bakugo were practically uninjured (except for Bakugo's pride) while Uraraka ended up [[HeroicRROD heavily nauseous]] and Midoriya was straight-up hospitalized. This is acknowledged in-universe.

All Might sets the entire class into 10 groups for an exercise in which one group will play villains while another play heroes. Bakugo is still angry at Midoriya for thinking he was lying about being quirkless for years and as luck would have it, the team formed by Midoriya and Uraraka will face off against the "villain" team made by Bakugo and Iida.

Midoriya comes up with a plan where he'll distract Bakugo in order to let Uraraka get to the bomb, knowing that in an all out fight, they have the disadvantage against the other more powerful team. Bakugo and Midoriya have a large scale fight in the corridors, with Midoriya avoiding using his quirk to not break his bones while Uraraka finds the room where Iida is keeping the bomb and acting like a super villain.

Bakugo becomes infuriated enough to use a huge blast of his power that could destroy the building. All Might almost calls the exercise off, but Midoriya ends up using his full quirk to destroy the building upwards, crushing the room where Uraraka and Iida are fighting, allowing Uraraka to use her anti gravity powers to recover the bomb.

Midoriya is led to the infirmary. The rest of the team is lectured by Yaoyorozu on why they failed in many ways except Iida. Bakugo watches the other battles.

* LeeroyJenkins: The trope could also be named 'Katsuki Bakugo' if Leeroy hadn't got there first. Bakugo, still suffering from his middle school NormalFishInATinyPond problems, rushes off to fight Midoriya. Not only does Midoriya fight him evenly, he ends up tricking Bakugo to give Uraraka a chance to get past Iida- which would never have worked if Bakugo had actually stayed with Iida like he was supposed to. To add insult to injury, Todoroki also tries completing the exercise without the aid of his partner- and he ''wins handily''.

All Might sets the entire class into 10 groups for an exercise in which one group will play villains while another play heroes. Bakugou is still angry at Midoriya for thinking he was lying about being quirkless for years and as luck would have it, the team formed by Midoriya and Uraraka will face off against the "villain" team made by Bakugou and Iida.

Midoriya comes up with a plan where he'll distract Bakugou in order to let Uraraka get to the bomb, knowing that in an all out fight, they have the disadvantage against the other more powerful team. Bakugou and Midoriuya have a large scale fight in the corridors, with Midoriya avoiding using his quirk to not break his bones while Uraraka finds the room where Iida is keeping the bomb and acting like a super villain.

After Midoriya recovers and meets with All Might, he runs after Bakugou, revealing about the fact he was quirkless, but has received a quirk from someone else. Bakugou starts crying and does not believe him, having his pride stepped on not only by losing to Midoriya but also by seeing people like Yaoyorozu and Todoroki out-do him easily. He goes off swearing to fight with him again.
