—————————————————————————— That’s the Idea , Ochaco { そういうことね お茶子さん , Sō iu koto ne Ochako-san ? } the fourteenth episode of the My Hero Academia anime and the first episode of the second season. U.A. is closed the day after the attack, and it’s faculty members hold a meeting with the Police Force Investigator Naomasa Tsukauchi. They discuss the League of Villains and their recent involvement in the aforementioned attack. Investigator Tsukauchi admits that despite arresting seventy-two villains, he could not find any information on perpetrators. All Might notes that the ringleader : Tomura Shigaraki displayed a child-like mindset and his plan was foolish and too reckless for any sane criminal. The investigator surmises that the criminals viewed Tomura Shigaraki as a leader because of the pressure a world brimming with heroes has put on evil-doers. At the end of the meeting, Principal Nezu suggests that Tomura is being guided towards villainy the same way U.A. students are being guided towards heroism. The U.A. Sports Festival approaches. That night, Izuku lifts weights and ponders how he can master One For All until his mother interrupts him for dinner. In Class 1-A the next morning, the students discuss their appearances on the news because of the attack on the U.S.J. To everyone’s surprise, Mister Aizawa arrives to class covered in bandages. He calls his own injuries irrelevant because something more important is approaching : The U.A. Sports Festival. Some of the students worry that the Sports Festival is happening too soon after the attack. Shota explains that the competition is far too important to cancel. It is one of the most-viewed events in the world and a major opportunity for U.A. students to get scouted by professional Hero Agencies, and Yuki tries to hide her excitement.
