"Shiketsu High Lurking" is the sixteenth episode of My Hero Academia's third season, and the 54th episode overall.

Although Class 1-A proves effective in repelling the barrage of balls as a group, Shindou's Quirk, Vibrate, breaks up the ground beneath them, separating the students. Isolated from everyone else, Midoriya is pinned down by Camie, who expresses that she wants to get to know him. Following an attack by other Shiketsu students, Camie disappears, and Midoriya rescues Uraraka. However, he soon realizes that it's actually Camie with a shapeshifting Quirk, and she attacks him. Sero and the real Uraraka arrive to bail him out.

Elsewhere, Inasa has eliminated 120 students on his own. Todoroki finds himself in a steel factory area and is ambushed by ten ninja-like students from Seijin High.


This episode provides examples of:

  • Combination Attack: Two Ketsubutsu students perform one to attack Class 1-A. Makabe uses his Quirk to turn the balls as hard as concrete, while Toteki sends them underground to obfuscate their paths.
  • Comically Missing the Point: When Midoriya points out that Camie shed her disguise of Uraraka, Sero quickly asked if she was naked.
  • Diving Save: Midoriya performs one to save "Uraraka", leaping in the air and catching her in a Bridal Carry. He was specifically inspired by his failed attempt to grab Bakugo during the villains' attack on the summer camp.
  • One-Man Army: Inasa demonstrates how powerful he is by instantly eliminating 120 students.
  • Out-of-Character Alert: Midoriya first notices that something's off about "Uraraka" when she doesn't use her Quirk in a tight situation, although she had been training to do so. It saved him from being hit again and further risking elimination.
  • Pinned to the Ground: After Camie manages to sneak up on and successfully attack Midoriya from behind, she pins him to the ground using heir body weight telling him she want to talk to him.
  • Party Scattering: Invoked by Shindo, who breaks up the battlefield in order to separate the class.
