"Win Those Kids' Hearts" is the 16th episode of My Hero Academia's fourth season, and the 79th episode overall.

At the Remedial Training Course for provisional hero licenses, Todoroki and Bakugo meet up with Inasa and Camie. Yokimiru and Gang Orca explain that they lack heart, and their task today is to correct that by bonding with a class of powerful, havoc-wreaking children from Masegaki Elementary School. Despite initial efforts, the children seem to have closed themselves off to adults, since they believe themselves to be superior. As Present Mic, Endeavor, Gang Orca, and Yokumiru watch from the sidelines, the four students must come up with a plan to win these children's hearts.


Tropes in this episode:

  • Badly Battered Babysitter: The class's teacher really needs the intervention this episode provides...and probably a long vacation.
  • Bratty Half-Pint: The Masegaki children have overinflated egos due to their powerful Quirks, and terrorize the older characters around them because of it.
  • The Bus Came Back: Gang Orca returns as an instructor for students who failed the License Exam.
  • A Day in the Limelight:
    • Following the mayhem and drama of Midoriya's internship, this focuses on major characters Todoroki and Bakugo, and by extension Inasa and Camie.
    • Endeavor also gets some focus when he asks All Might about being the number one hero.
  • Filling the Silence: In-Universe: Mic cannot stand the silence and takes it upon himself to be the Large Ham "Combat" Commentator for the students' training.
  • Nervous Wreck: The children's teacher is so fed up and emotional about her charges' troublemaking that she is frequently seen crying about it.
  • The Reveal: The real Camie Utsushimi from Shiketsu High is revealed to be alive and well. What happened that led to Toga switching places with her is unknown. All that is known is that she was left unconscious somewhere during the event by the time she is finally found. Naturally, since she never took part in the Provisional License Exam, she joins the others in the Remedial Course.
  • Straight for the Commander: Variation. Bakugo thinks that there's one particular student riling all the others up, and that once they put that kid in his place, everyone else will follow.
  • Totally Radical: Camie uses frequent slang. The other trainees all openly admit they have no idea what she introduces herself.
