My Hero Academia 4 turns the sports festival into a test of choosing teammates under pressure. The cavalry battle follows the obstacle race, so continue from the previous standard paperback rather than starting the school competition here. Its numbered chapters run from 27 to 35. Our opening analysis looks at how a leading score changes the offers Midoriya receives, including one friendship expressed through refusing his team. It covers the licensed opening, without reporting the battle’s result.
Spoilers — why this volume matters. Tap to reveal.
Midoriya’s first-place finish gives him ten million points and makes his headband the obvious target. The scoring advantage becomes a recruitment problem: other students hesitate to join someone everyone will attack. Uraraka nevertheless volunteers because she wants to work with a friend. Iida invokes the same friendship while choosing to compete against him. Neither response makes friendship a synonym for automatic agreement. Hatsume offers a third motive: joining the conspicuous target would put her support-course inventions on display. That is a useful bargain, though it is not the same promise Uraraka makes. The opening treats cooperation as an alignment of different purposes rather than proof that everyone has one shared reason to help. Aizawa’s discussion of cooperation between professional agencies gives the exercise a practical setting. This analysis reads only printed pages 7–20 of VIZ’s licensed preview; team selection is not a verdict on the later contest.
