History Recap / MyHeroAcademiaS6E23DekuVsClass1A

* AntiClimacticUnmasking: U.A's Thirteen, a teach who introduced the USJ training facility to the students back in Season 1, is seen without the helmet for the first time in the series when greeting a waking Midoriya. There is no impact from it in terms of story, but it can be a surprising reveal to the audience that [[SamusIsAGirl she's confirmed to be a human female]].

* ChekhovsGun: During the Cultural Festival in Season 4, Principal Nezu had made extra security measures to further protect U.A. Since last episode, he finally makes use of it.

** On the rest of Class 1-A’s side, AFO might target U.A. anyway in order to lure Midoriya into a trap, all the while genuinely concerned for his welfare. If AFO ''does'' decide to attack, at least they will be there to protect the school and everyone inside.

*** Even before they met in U.A, Kirashima recalls a story about "a young boy" rushing in to help someone, implying that Midoriya's attempt to save Bakugao ''while Quirkless'' had inspired him just like Ashido did when she saves two students from Gigantomachia.

* CantCatchUp: Midoriya keeps begging his classmates to let him go because he believes they can't keep up with his One For All or the Villain All For One. He finds out how much of a mistake that was when they worked together to stop his escape.

* MeaningfulEcho: Midoriya once told Iida, while saving him from Hero Killer Stain that, according to All Might, "''meddling when you don't need to is the essence of being a hero''". Where as Iida wanted to deal with Stain alone and willing to die for his mistake of revenge, Iida reminds Midoriya of these words when he and his friends finally catch him, even though Midoriya insists on dealing with AFO and Shigaraki by himself.
* MyGodWhatHaveIDone: While he didn't see it at first, Midoriya soon calms down enough to witness everyone's resolve and how much they went through to stop him so they can bring him home. He then realizes that he had made a serious mistake: by telling them all they "can't keep up" with him earlier, he not only underestimated them, but unwittingly ''insulted'' them after all of the trials they have been through together since the school year started.
* ObviouslyNotFine: No one is buying Deku's rampant insistence that he's "fine". Seeing the look on his face seals it.
* OOCIsSeriousBusiness: While he's not ''always'' [[pun explosively]] angry and liable to snap at anyone, Bakugo has been like this for so long, it's what his friends (and by extension the audience) have known him best for. So it comes as no surprise that his apology to Midoriya requires him to be calm and rational, more than usual, to get his point across.

* YouAreNotAlone: The big thing Class 1-A is trying to get through to Deku. With Bakugo's above WhamLine, they succeed.

* AntiClimacticUnmasking: U.A's Thirteen, a teach who introduced the USJ training facility to the students back in Season 1,is seen without the helmet for the first time when greeting a waking Midoriya. There is no impact from it in terms of story, but it can be a surprising reveal to the audience that [[SamusIsAGirl she's confirmed to be a human female]].

* AntiClimacticUnmasking: U.A's Thirteen, a teach who introduced the USJ training facility to the students back in Season 1,is seen without the helmet for the first time when greeting a waking Midoriya. There is no impact from it in terms of story, but it can be a surprising reveal to the audience that [[SamusIsAGirl she's a confirmed to be a human female]] if the voice wasn't obvious back in Season 1.
* BittersweetEnding: Class 1-A finally convinces Midoriya to return to U.A. with them. Thirteen informs him that the situation throughout the country is slowly calming down for the moment thanks to his efforts, especially with many vigilantes giving up and seeking shelter while additional Heroes are dealing with any potential rioters and Villains escapees. Unfortunately, they all learn that many of the refugees in their own school have started protesting against Midoriya coming back after hearing the news, but Uraraka promises he won't have to face it alone.

* CallBack:

* IronicEcho: The strategy Midoriya used to help rescue Bakugo in Season 3 is used once more here to finally catch Midoriya.

* WhamLine: Once Midoriya's classmates finally get him to settle down, Bakugo confesses the reasons why he has been obsessed with trying to be the best and what led him to constantly bully his classmate. It all culminates in two things even Midoriya didn't expect, despite their rivalry improving: ''being called by his actual name,'' '''''Izuku,''''', ''and a sincere apology''.
* WorfHadTheFlu: Ignoring food and sleep, Midoriya has been running on fumes by the time Class 1-A found him. If he had found the time for either, he would have had a bit of energy to leave them in the dust. Even so, the class still had a struggle in their hands just to keep up thanks to One For All. And that's not including the fact that Midoriya was deliberately holding back so he doesn't hurt anyone by accident.

* YouCalledMeXItMustBeSerious: Since childhood, Bakugo had started using the nickname "Deku" on Izuku Midoriya in resentment, and that hasn't changed even after they evolved into proper rivals in U.A. So, it speaks volumes that Bakugo has finally called him by his ''real name'' for the first time in years, in order to emphasize just how serious and genuine his apology really is, and even Midoriya himself didn't see this coming.

** Most of Class 1-A reminds Midoriya about what he did or say for them throughout their first year. Whether it was during the USJ or training camp incidents, or the U.A. Cultural Festival, he had been a great help or inspiration to them all.
