Chapter 216

'''Final Results! Class A Versus Class B''' is the two hundred sixteenth chapter of Kohei Horikoshi's My Hero Academia.

Synopsis
Hitoshi Shinso recalls his thoughts as he's about to get defeated by Izuku Midoriya. Hitoshi thinks back to his original plan, which involved capturing Izuku with his scarf. The scarfed Hero laments on failing to prove his newfound skills to his rival. Hitoshi realizes that everyone in Class 1-A and 1-B is moving forward, going beyond their limits and discovering their inner strengths. As Izuku slams him to the ground, Hitoshi admits that the Hero Department was amazing as he gets captured.

Round 5 finally ends with Team 5-A winning the match with a perfect victory of 4-0. Midnight announces that the Joint Training Exercise is now concluded and congratulates all participants for trying their best to win the battle. The final results reveal that Class A won the entire exercise. Class 1-A celebrates at their outstanding victory, while Class 1-B laments over their loss.

Hitoshi solemnly tells the teachers that he feels disappointed in his performance, noting that he appeared to lack the strength to perform anything on his own. Hitoshi also reveals that he was aware of the Joint Training Exercise serving as his entrance to the Hero Department. A surprised Vlad questions Hitoshi on how he managed to find that out, only for the latter to explain it was due to the timing and format of the exercise. Hitoshi points out that the exercise's format allowed him to test out his abilities without extra setup and the fact he was the only student who participated twice.

The participants of the final round gather together to receive feedback from Eraserhead and Vlad King. Shota starts off by questioning Izuku on whether new move derived from his Quirk and how it functions. Izuku anxiously ponders on how to explain this technique, knowing that he can't reveal the true details about One For All. Fumikage and Shihai both wonder about Izuku's "ebony mass brought forth from darkness". Deku admits he wasn't so sure about unleashing his black tendrils. He goes on to describe how his power was overflowed, which led to him going berserk in the process. Izuku confesses that he felt scared about harming somebody and points out that he was saved thanks to Ochaco and Hitoshi's teamwork. Izuku proceeds to thank the two for saving his life. Hitoshi then believes that he only played a minor part in rescuing his rival.

Midnight continues the feedback by commending Hitoshi and Ochaco's heroism, mentioning how it "turns her on" in terms of excitement and passion. Mina also adds on that Ochaco did latch herself onto Izuku's body to prevent him from losing control. Ochaco begins to blush rapidly and explains that she thought it was better to take action than nothing. Shota calls Ochaco's previous statement of her wanting to rescue more people while praising the young hero for her growth. However, Hitoshi reveals that he didn't save Izuku out of benevolence nor Ochaco's orders, but only because he wanted to fight his old rival and win a satisfying victory. As Hitoshi admits that he acted on his own desires, Shota proceeds to scold his pupil, much to shock of Izuku and Ochaco. Shota points out that everyone in the Hero Course trained hard to become a hero, and they can't help others if they don't have the will to act on their own.

Eraserhead commends Hitoshi for demonstrating the demeanor of a real hero. Izuku follows on by praising the hero-in-training on his skills throughout the exercise, mentioning how his new equipment gave him an upper hand in taking down opponents with no ease. Deku also feels like he hasn't made himself reliable just yet. Vlad King then announces that before feedbacking the other students, he reveals that Hitoshi will be joining the Hero department starting from his second year. Hitoshi appears bewildered at this announcement but feels satisfied for finally accomplishing his long-time dream. Everybody questions whether he'll be joining Class A or B.

Even though Class 1-B has lost the bet, Neito still retains his old demeanor. Neito begins to rant about how his team didn't lose in terms of substance and reveals his newfound knowledge relating to Izuku's Quirk. Neito constantly rants on in a twisted manner as Vlad tells his student that they won't be doing another joint training exercise again.
