* TheMole: The subject of a possible traitor in the school is brought to light as the faculty discusses how the villains obtained classified intel about the Hero Classes' camping trip. Since the Pussycats and the faculty are the only ones to have knowledge of the location, Mic suspects that someone in the staff or even the student body has been leaking information under their nose. Snipe warns to take caution as such allegations are serious and he and Nezu believe that anyone in the meeting room might have done it without knowing, even them.
* NiceJobFixingItVillain: Had the Nomu and Kurogiri not cornered Midoriya, Shoji and Todoroki and had Mr. Compress not paused to gloat about his true plan, they would've allowed Compress to escape with both Tokoyami and Bakugo. Thanks to their interference and Mr. Compress' overconfidence, they managed to rescue Tokoyami, at least.

** When Todoroki tries to grab Bakugo, Dabi intervenes and then taunts him, by using his full name. [[spoiler:It is revealed several arcs later, that Dabi has a personal connection to the Todoroki family: he is Shoto's older brother Toya, who is [[ReportsOfMyDeathWereGreatlyExaggerated believed to be dead]]]].
** [[spoiler:Aoyama being a CowardlyLion is a subtle foreshadowing of the fact that he ''is'' the UA traitor and it is because of him that the villains knew where the students would be]].

* AdultFear: UA is one of the most prestigious Hero Schools around, but is now facing scrutiny after having their students attacked by villains once again. As the faculty is responsible for keeping them safe, having even one kidnapped and dozens hurt or hospitalized obviously has everyone question their integrity, competence and, above all else, safety.

* ComplainingAboutRescuesTheyDontLike: Played with for Bakugo. He hates wanting to be rescued since last episode, but telling Midoriya to "stay back" could be more of a sign that he doesn't want to endanger Deku for his sake.

Shouji, Midoriya, and Todoroki catch up to Compress and the rest of the villains. In the ensuing battle, they are able to rescue Tokoyami with some last-minute help from Aoyama, but the villains are able to get away with Bakugou. Because of Bakugou's kidnapping and the injuries sustained by many students (including Jirou and Hagakure, who are still unconscious due to Mustard's gas), the summer camp ends abruptly. U.A. faces backlash as a result and considers its next course of action. Present Mic posits that there is a mole within the school's ranks.

Midoriya awakens some days later and is visited by his classmates in the hospital. Kirishima and Todoroki inform him that Yaoyorozu and Awase were able to attach a tracking device to the Nomu that attacked them. They hope to use this to rescue Bakugou.
