After the clash , Midoriya and Bakugo spar in Gym Gamma in hope of getting Blackwhip to manifest. Midoriya acknowledges that since he refused to use the quirk until he better mastered One For All, it won’t manifest until then. Bakugo leaves Midoriya deep in thought after pointing out how One For All has become quite similar to All For One. The next day, Aizawa brings Monoma to the dorm in hope of him being able to help Eri train by copying her quirk. Monoma is unable to do so as his quirk doesn’t work well with those that require energy to activate. With encouraging words from Midoriya, Eri still intends to master her quirk, and the feeling is mutual for Midoriya. Having finally earned their Hero Licenses, Bakugo and Todoroki take to the snowy streets and defeat a gang of thieves.
