* Chapter 35:
** An understated scene has Hisashi [[CluelessChickMagnet unintentionally asking Midnight out on a date]]. Rather than try to talk him down or reject him, Midnight is genuinely caught off guard and flustered by his asking her out, and rather enthusiastically accepts, running off to get changed in excitement. Hisashi also deserves a bit of credit, seeing as he didn't mean to ask her out and wanted her to have a chance to relax after the harsh day she had. And if the next chapter's scene of Hisashi returning home is any indication, the date was rather successful - and the FlashForward confirming it ended up being a case of HappilyMarried.
** Ochako ends up accidentally answering Melissa's message, and the talk between them has Ochako eventually open up to her about her body issues. Melissa, rather than assure Ochako that she was beautiful like Himiko and Itsuka did, instead sympathizes with her, revealing her own previous body issues and advising Ochako on how to make herself feel prettier. The end of the conversation ends with the two girls' friendship strengthened by the talk, in a similar manner to Izuku and Nejire's relationship in Chapter 22.
*** Melissa is also revealed to be coming to Japan to transfer schools to UA. After Melissa's loneliness over the years, it's heartwarming to know that she'll be with the first friends she had in a while.
*** The conversation of Ochako admitting that she kissed Izuku also helps to calm her down, with Melissa's reactions helping Ochako stop freaking out.
** When coming back to the vigilantes, we get to see Leader, a.k.a. Oboro Shirakumo, put his PapaWolf tendencies to work, calming down the vigilantes from their arguments and assuring them that they still got away relatively scott free, before asking Ippan if she needed to go home and being rather gentle with her. It's not hard to see how Shirakumo is considered the BigGood of the vigilantes, even if they still insult him - it's clear that he earned their trust and respect.
* Chapter 36 - the GrandFinale of the Clover Rising three-parter, and the long awaited RelationshipUpgrade.
** After ending up in bed with Izuku after tripping, Itsuka ends up talking more to Izuku about his feelings for Ochako. When presented with a moment where she could act as a ShipperOnDeck and effectively ruin her chances, Itsuka ultimately chooses to take the risk and confesses her feelings, with moonlight coming in through the window to up the romance. The scene eventually ends in a BigDamnKiss, but rather than stop and have Izuku embarrassingly slink off, Itsuka is instead invigorated by the kiss and goes to wake up Ochako.
** There's also the small fact that Itsuka chose the same beach they all trained on to do their confession. It was the first place she met them, and wants it to be the same place they take the next step in their relationship.
** Ochako eventually comes clean about her body issues to Izuku, explaining to him why she hid it and why she felt the way she did. Izuku, for his part, is horrified and saddened by her insistance to hide this, and gets over his fluster around her to give her a hug, assuring her that he wished that he had known so he could have done more to make her feel better about herself.
** The scene eventually climaxes into the three-way mutual LoveConfession, with Izuku, Ochako and Itsuka telling each other about their feelings for each other and why they felt the same way. By the end of the conversation, all three of them are lighter and happier than they had been during the entire Sports Festival arc. It eventually culminates in their decision to begin dating each other - they all admit that it would be harder than they're anticipating, and they'll run into problems, but at least they'll run into them ''together''.
* The second FlashForward reveals that Class 1A, 1B and their friends all live in the same suburbia named 'New Heights Alliance', where they can all raise families and stay close by in their own private neighborhood, with Eijirou and Mina mentioned to have several kids of their own. Eri is also shown to be close with the members of Class 1B as well, with her stopping by Toru and Mashiro to feel the invisible woman's baby bump.
* There's also the reveal of the ''fourth'' member of Team Clover, and the fourth member of the poly - Melissa. Her interactions with Izuku are adorable, with Izuku carrying her into the home when she's tired from the flight to Japan, to their playfully messing around on the couch and chatting about their days. When Ochako and Itsuka get home, Melissa also hops up to greet them, making it clear that she's an active member of their family despite working in America, and they all enjoy their time together.
** There's also the reveal that Ochako is pregnant with the poly's first child, and the girls of the group are debating on how to tell Izuku.

* Ochako ends up TakingTheBullet for Izuku by jumping in the way of Katsuki's Howitzer Impact, knocking her out. Itsuka ends up being the first one out in the field to make sure she's okay once it's clear what happened, and then it's Izuku's turn to become a [[ViolentlyProtectiveGirlfriend Violently Protective Boyfriend]] by attacking Katsuki in renewed anger.
* Despite the seriousness of the moment, it's heartwarming to see Pop Step act as a BigSisterMentor to Ippan Josei, comforting her when she gets nervous and telling her that she's doing a great job working with the vigilantes.
** It's also implied that, rather than the ambiguity of their canon selves, Gentle and La Brava are in a far more open and communicative relationship, with Gentle reassuring La Brava without any fanfare that he loved her when La Brava suspected him galavanting out with Ippan during their adventure.

* All Might comforting Izuku after learning about his cellular degeneration. The Number One Hero makes it clear that, even if Izuku isn't his successor in this universe, he will be fighting as hard as he can to find a solution for him.
* When Shouto begins to have a breakdown over his RepressedMemories, Itsuka is quick to stop the match and their rivalry altogether to get him to just sit down. And once Shouto remembers his own past and [[JerkassRealization realizes how much of a fool he'd been]], he begins treating Itsuka and Nejire with far more respect, and ends up conceding in their match as he can't go on. Itsuka, for her part, ends up offering Shouto a hand up, and he raises it into the air to celebrate their victory, meaning that DefeatMeansFriendship is in full effect even in this alternate universe.
* Nejire confessing her feelings for Itsuka in Chapter 34 with a FirstKiss, and later expressing her happiness that it got to be with Itsuka. Itsuka, for her part, is confused but still reciprocates the kiss, and Nejire makes it clear that she doesn't have to answer her until she's sorted her feelings for Izuku and Ochako out. Still though, there's no indication that Itsuka is going to reject Nejire, instead reacting with genuine fluster to Nejire's subtle flirting.
* With Daikoku arriving to confront Momo on whether or not she apologized to Shouto, the boy himself steps in and takes the blame for what happened, and ends up inviting himself and Endeavor to the Yaoyorozus to help keep the fire off of Momo.
** Surprisingly enough, Endeavor goes along without question, suggesting that he considers Momo a MoralityPet.
** Yukiri, for her part, shows that she at least has a good relationship with Momo, happily congratulating her even if her daughter conceded the match and praises her for doing a fantastic job.
* Izuku's LoveEpiphany for Ochako in Chapter 34. After the two of them start hugging in the very same spot Izuku saved her from Katsuki when they were children, Izuku slowly pieces everything together, and after a moment where they have a HeldGaze, Izuku finally decides to kiss her after realizing his feelings for her. While it's undercut by Ochako grabbing Izuku's butt, it's clear that they have both crossed the threshold from simply being friends to being something more.
