"Start Plan B. I'll cover everything with mushrooms!"

Yaoyorozu: Even unexpected circumstances are within expectations for me!

"Foresight" is the sixth episode of My Hero Academia's fifth season and the 94th episode of the series overall.

After the first round of Class A vs Class B concludes with Class A's victory, all of the students that participated in the battle reflect on their mistakes and what they've learned from the fight. Then the second round begins after both Kendo and Kuroiro declare Yaoyorozu and Tokoyami their rivals, respectively. Tokoyami's internship under Hawks is also seen in a flashback in between the fight. Tokoyami shows off his new move, "Dark Fallen Angel", and Class B's plan A ends in failure.


Tropes in this episode:

  • Big Damn Heroes: Komori saves Kuroiro from being caught by growing mushrooms that distract Class A and allows him to hide, and later saves herself and him again from Tokoyami by growing mushrooms in his throat, securing Class 1-B's victory.
  • Camera Abuse: One of the cameras installed in the training site gets covered with Komori's rapidly spreading mushrooms and slightly obscures the view for the spectators, much to their disgust.
  • Combination Attack: Manga Fukidashi and Komori launch one against Class A, as the former's Quirk project the word "damp" onto Komori's mushrooms and thus enlarges them and helps them spread faster, which successfully throws Class A off.
  • Leaning on the Fourth Wall: Sato wonders how will Fukidashi's Japanese onomatopoeia-based Quirk work overseas, lampshading how translations would have to explain his powers.
  • Night-Vision Goggles: The support items inside the bag that Yaoyorozu fired off towards Tokoyami and Hagakure included thermal goggles designed specially to fit Tokoyami's head which allowed him to see and locate their opponents in the dark.
  • Squick: Komori's Festering Fungus Quirk causes such a reaction In-Universe from almost everyone in Class A, especially when they see how they also grow on team 1-A's bodies, likening it to a horror movie.
  • Underestimating Badassery: Tokoyami towards Komori. He merely restrains her with Dark Shadow after he finds her along with Kuroiro instead of knocking her out which leaves room for her to grow mushrooms in his lungs, nearly suffocating him. Monoma even lampshades this and comments that Tokoyami shouldn't have treated the match like a training exercise and should have knocked her unconscious.
