It's a shonen anime. We will almost certainly have another tournament arc, and this will almost certainly happen.

If mineta actually becomes a hero he's gonna be really weird in positions of power over defenseless female crime victims. I personally hope they follow through on high performers in class B replacing low performers in class A - mineta is an obvious choice but I think it would be interesting as well to have likeable but quantifiably underperforming class A people like kaminari or mina get bumped.

How the hell did Mineta pass the entrance exam in the first place. I can't imagine him actually destroying any robots with his ability, or rescuing anyone.

Mineta is in the top half of the class on test scores and almost single handedly beat a pro hero in his final exam tho. Moreover his character arc is pretty clearly going to be one where he grows past his baser instincts to become a cool hero people can admire.

Probably just stuck a heavier robot's leg in place while it was moving, causing it to rip itself apart by momentum alone.

Whether someone is in class A or class B isn't about performance, the only reason that one dude has such an inferiority complex about it is because class A ends up in the news a lot and Bakugou did some poo poo talking.

His balls are apparently impossible to separate from for an entire day. It's one of those feast or famine powers where it's non-threatening until you're stuck to the ground/yourself and can't do anything. He falls under a 'Controller' type class which is perfect for hero work (Kill less, arrest more.)

Given the focus on a few Class B members during the tournament and even one from Class C, it's a distinct possibility, and one I would love to see.

Better not be Kaminari or Mina, though. Take Major Lazer instead. :argh:

Yeah, I think they might be confusing the idea that people from the General Course can be moved to the Hero Course if they prove themselves.

I wonder if someone from the Hero Course needs to drop out for that to happen. It does seem like Classes A and B have full rosters of 20 each. Then again, I didn't even know there was a Class C until forums user symbolic mentioned it above.

edit: Been googling it and apparently classes C-H are different Courses? So A and B are Hero Course, C through whatever are General Course, whatever through whatever is Support Course, etc.

Sorry, for the double post, but there's been something I've been wanting to discuss for a while.

What happened to last year's Class A?

We know Eraserhead expelled the entire class. He plays that off as a lie to motivate the kids, but his subsequent conversation with All Might reveals that it's true. What did they do? Was it not a specific incident, but Eraserhead simply judged them all to not be hero material? Was this an entire class that was sub-Mineta?

I really want to know more about them. This entire class of kids who applied to a prestigious hero school, got accepted, passed the hero course entrance exam and then turned out to be a bunch of rowdy delinquents and shiftless losers? Where's that omake?

And I can't help but wonder what happened to them afterward. Did get totally expelled or just moved to other courses? If they were expelled, did they give up on their dreams or did they go to a different hero school? Did Eraserhead effectively create a bunch of future supervillains?

They probably just went to another school. Like UA isn't the only show in town, it's just the most prestigious and hardest to get into. They probably fell back into some more lax schools.

That's a pretty extreme statement for a full class of 20, considering that even Kaminari got through, and his power seems pretty one-and-done.

The main question is how did Koji Koda get past the entrance exam. Did they let a herd of animals into the entrance exam stages along with the robots or did he take robots down with bugs?

Bugs and small animals, iirc. Chew through the wiring and such. Plus, he could probably get a bunch of rescue points, knowing his personality.

Edit: Motion to make that our explanation for everyone except Mineta whenever someone asks that question. "How did-" "Rescue points. Derail over."

Should be noted that Mineta had Midnight utterly beaten. She could not move from that spot. Her hand was stuck to the Whip and the Whip was stuck to the ground. And she can't get the stuff off her.

It was announced as soon as S2 finished so I doubt we'll have much of a wait. If it helps, S1 finished on June, 2016 and S2 started on March, 2017 so there was less than a year of wait, it'll likely be the same here.

They literally both would have failed if Sero hadn't saved Mineta. Yes Mineta did well and overcame is weaknesses but only because Sero saved him in the first place. It's fine if he failed on grades alone but they mention him falling asleep as a contributing reason.

Dealing with it piecemeal would've at least bought them time and shown that Sero can think smartly on his feet. It's one thing to heroically push someone out of the way of danger, it's another to do that and also mitigate the danger to yourself in the process. Sero did the first, but didn't have the foresight to do the second.

I don't disagree that he should've gotten some credit for what he did, but he for sure didn't do enough to merit a full passing grade.
