—————————————————————————— Strategy , Strategy , Strategy { 策策策 , Sakusakusaku ? } is the seventeenth episode of the My Hero Academia anime and the fourth episode of the second season. Summary. Midnight explains the rules. Midnight explains the rules for the U.A. Sports Festival’s second round event : The Cavalry Battle. The qualifying students have fifteen minutes to make teams of two to four people, and each person’s point value depends on their placement in the Obstacle Race. After getting first place, Yuki Itsuki is worth ten million points. This simulates how difficult it is to be at the top, above the rest of the competition. Teams formed will be worth their members’ accumulated point value. Team’s point values are listed on their headbands, which can be worn around the head or the neck of the rider. The objective of the game is to steal as many headbands as possible to raise your team’s point value. If a team falls or has their headband stolen, they can still compete until the time is up. The time limit for the Cavalry Battle is fifteen minutes, and only the top four teams will advance to the finals. Midnight finishes explaining the rules with warning each team not to make each other fall on purpose, annoying Katsuki. Story. Deatharms, Mt. Lady and Kamui Woods discuss the festival during their break. Meanwhile, Death Arms, Kamui Woods and Mount Lady watch from the break room and have a discussion about the Festival. Death Arms says the Festival is more so about simulating real Pro-Hero competition rather than seeing how prepared the students are. Mount Lady comments that it’s sad to look at Pro-Hero jobs in a manner where you’re looking to step over other heroes. This annoys Kamui Woods, who angrily replies that Mount Lady had no problem stealing the spotlight from him. The three of them agree that unlike the Obstacle Race, the Cavalry Battle is being used to simulate working together with other heroes.
