It'd be weird if the last round wasn't a tiebreaker, unless that ends up bringing the overall score to 2-2 and they need a tiebreaker after that.

My overall thinking was that each would get two wins, and the final round would have a fair chance of ending in a tie.

But since a tie has already happened, it shakes things up.

Then again this is just a training exercise so whoever gets the highest wins is sorta irrelevant.

Yeah, I think them going "Whoops, you tied. Guess you'll have to wait until the next exercise to find out who's better" is a possibility. Whether or not it will happen is up in the air, but I think it definitely could.

I think someone else might have mentioned this, but I'll make a guess about Setsuna's Quirk letting her break off pieces of anything she touches, including her own body (and she can control her body pieces). Basically the exact opposite of Awase.

Oh man, people would flip if it all ended on a tie breaker lol.

I'm kind of 50/50 on this arc; it's nice to see what Class B can do and all, but at the same time this series already struggles to juggle everyone in Class A, especially the girls and I'd prefer more focus on them.

[up][up] My only issue there is her full body costume would presumably get in the way of such a quirk.

[up][up] Kind of agree with this. I do like seeing what Class B can do, but I worry about this going forward.

[up][up] Not if it's designed to break with whatever's under it. That's a possibility.

I wouldn't see the point of that other than stretching this arc beyond reason. It's a training, not a tournament.

That's what I mean. There doesn't need to be a "winner". The arc can end as soon as all the matches are over regardless if the teams are tied or not.

I think the only people who care who gets more wins is of course Monoma & Vlad.

Everyone else just wants to do their best.

Yeah, it’s not like they’re trying to win anything, although I can see them giving the winning class a reward that they didn’t tell them about (as they wanted to see how they would perform without that sort of motivation, or something like that).

Yeah, we, the audience (and some of the characters) have been going "who will win?" but that's not actually the point of the training itself.

Even assuming something like Class A winning the first three matches (or the opposite) and thus having already won overall, the other two matches would still happen because seeing which class is "better" was never the point of this (instory or out).

Really, this arc seems to me to have several purposes, showing off Class B all at once only being one of them.

So we seem to be switching between semi-serious school things, and actually serious villain things now.

After this training, I wonder what the next serious thing will be? I'm gonna go with the inevitable and obvious Dabi reveal (obviously with other things involved).

Maybe Giganto finally comes into play.

Also possibly the prison breakout.

Among other things this arc seems to be a quick and dirty progress report on how far the class a kids have come and what they still need to work on

We also get to learn more about class b so hey bonus

Top ten of the popularity poll results are out. They're...different. Is Best Jeanist huge in Japan or something?

Does anyone actually read these?

1. Bakugou 2. Todoroki 3. Deku (supposedly with half the votes of the above) 4. Hawks 5. Kirishima 6. Best Jeanist 7. Momo 8. Endeavor 9. Iida 10. All Might

The poll came out just as Kamino was happening in the anime, so I'm not that surprised that the whole Bakugou rescue squad made it.

I can't remember, did Goku and Naruto and Ichigo top their polls? I guess Goku was a long time ago.... They probably had polls back then but who knows if they are online anywhere.

But my point is, Midoriya is like the bet shounen hero in a long, long time. Losing to Bakugo? Shameful, positively shameful. Shame on you Japanese fanbase.

I cme in here for a different reason though. Dunno if I should putg it in spoilers so better safe than sorry. All For One realized Midoriya had One For All but was then locked up. Has any other villain figured it out or learned about this? Don't care about manga spoilers

Very impressed that Hawks made it so high.

Especially since all that was very recent.

The main character not being the most popular character is hardly uncommon. If he weren't even in the Top 10, now that, would be surprising.

...When was the last popularity poll held, again?

I wouldn't normally expect such a huge spurt for someone who hasn't actually appeared in the manga in ages.

Edit: I suppose the above reasoning makes sense, but one would have thought that All-Might would have been higher, then.
