—————————————————————————— The Boy Born with Everything { 全てを持って生まれた男の子 , Subete o Motte Umareta Otoko no Ko ? } is the nineteenth episode of the My Hero Academia anime and the sixth episode of the second season. Mashirao withdraws himself from the competition before the lots are drawn, shocking everyone in his class. He points out that he was used as a puppet by Hitoshi Shinso during the Cavalry Battle, and his pride won’t allow him to continue without knowing how he got there. Nirengeki Shoda from Class 1-B, as well as some others, also requests to resign, feeling that he does not deserve to participate in the finals. Midnight allows them to withdraw and decides that the newly opened spots will be filled in with members from the fifth, sixth and seventh place teams : Team Hitoshi , Team Monoma and Team Kendo. However, Itsuka Kendo gives the opportunity to Team Tetsutetsu because they fought harder during the Cavalry Battle.
