** Nejire's appearance in the Miss UA pagent; the previous year she tried to out do Kanzaki in showiness, which didn't work because it didn't fit her personality. Her friend and classmate tells her [[BeYourself she has her own way of shining]] and she [[UpUpAndAway floats]] around the stage, seeing all her friends and coworkers cheering her on as she uses her Quirk to make a [[HardLight rose of light]] above them. Instead of focusing on winning, she just enjoys the moment [[CloudCuckooLander like she always does]] and in the end, it works and she wins her last Miss UA pagent before she graduates.

* Chapter 421: "We Are Here" could not have been a more appropriate title. Lots of heartwarming ''and'' awesome moments here.
** The rest of Class 1-A still capable of fighting shows up at Deku's side, which is not only awesome, but really solidifies how far every one of them has come.
--> '''Kaminari''': When we saw our pal keeping up the good fight...
--> '''Yaoyarozu''': How could we possibly ''not'' take action?
** Not only does Class 1-A show up, but other assorted students and pro heroes, including the likes of members of Class 1-B, Shiketsu High, as well as some of the faculty and staff of U.A.. Not only that, but eagle-eyed readers can see in the double spread the likes of Gentle Criminal himself, who'd gone through his own redemption thanks to his fight with Deku, and the now-retired Death Arms, who'd previously quit due to public ridicule, but had his heroic spirit rekindled by everyone's actions during the final war.
--> '''Everyone''': [[MeaningfulEcho We...]] [[TitleDrop ...are here!]]
** In a strange, villanous example, All For One remarks that Yoichi's CessationOfExistence left him with a gaping hole of loss, and that "all color faded from his world." Even if he refers to him as his "obsession", All For One truly was distraught at the loss of his brother's vestige.
** During Sero's speech to All For One, he remarks how much he noticed his classmate Todoroki had it rough, citing that having to defeat his own brother Toya/Dabi was something he shouldn't have had to go through, and showing his full concern for his friend's feelings. This is followed up by what's essentially a ''father-son Flashfire Fist'' from Shoto and Enji.
** Someone approaches Deku offering a hand to help him stand, and it's none other than Yuga Aoyama, the U.A. traitor, whom Deku offered a second chance even after such a deplorable act. Deku remembers this and is moved to tears.
** The final words of Chapter 421 give a big MeaningfulEcho when you consider the origins of Midoriya's hero name. While Bakugo used to use it as an insult, essentially calling him useless, Uraraka remarked that it sounds similar to 'dekiru', meaning 'I can do it!'. Everyone watching him, everyone cheering his name, has only this to say:
--> "You can do it."

** The civilians, who were in serious doubt of the heroes before, do what they can by offering refreshments to any heroes in need, as well as their shirts and jackets to be used for heroes who are injured.

** A meta bit of heartwarming, but the MHA fanbase weren't too pleased when it was announced that the first episode of season 4 would be a filler-recap. After the episode aired, however, most were pleasantly surprised, finding the episode charming, and especially enjoying Takuda's character. There are even people who want Takuda to return in the future to see how much progress he's made on his book about Deku.
