Chapter 6 — Sinister Aftermath
In the aftermath of the catastrophe at the battle trial, Nezu requests answers from Aizawa and All Might. The latter takes the full blame, having believed that Izuku and Bakugo would be able to work out their differences if they fought. Aizawa reveals the two boys' common past. When the time comes to face the injured kids' mothers, Aizawa takes responsibility, thinking that All Might would only make things worse. Nezu prepares himself to deal with Bakugo and his mother.At the medical office, Izuku and Tsuyu are sharing a bed so they can maintain contact while Izuku's Quirk heals Tsuyu. While the two talk, Izuku slips and tells Tsuyu he thinks she's cute, and Tsuyu decides to lightly tease him. Then Tae groans and Tsuyu realizes she can understand the zombie girl. Meanwhile, Aizawa bears the two teens' mothers' rightful anger as he guides them to Izuku and Tsuyu, leaving them to Recovery Girl.
The school's doctor explains Tsuyu's injuries, which are still healing but on the way to full recovery, before letting them in. Tae immediately moves to stand between the mothers and the teens, scaring Beru, but Inko quickly forestalls any trouble by telling Tae off and asking for her to bring some chairs.
Meanwhile, Mitsuki Bakugo is horrified to witness how out of control her son is, a feeling that worsens as Nezu makes it clear there will be big consequences, including Bakugo being expelled from U.A., although Nezu proposes an alternative in enrolling the boy in the General Studies course and restricting his Quirk usage until he proves he has changed for the better. Under his mother's wilting glare, Bakugo agrees.
Back at the medical office, Beru Asui observes as Inko helps her son regain his strength. Izuku allays her fears that Tsuyu may end up like Tae, as the latter had already died when Izuku used his Quirk on her, while Recovery Girl explains the cause for Tsuyu's current red eyes and that her injuries should be fully healed within a day. While the two mothers leave to deal with legal matters, Tsuyu floats out her worry that Izuku will need to stay close to keep her from becoming like Tae, but Izuku replies that he will gladly stay with her for as long as needed. The two almost kiss, but Tokoyami interrupts the moment - only for the interruption to reveal that Hagakure and Ashido had not only entered the room already, but were filming them. Tsuyu takes Ashido's phone so Izuku can delete the video, but Hagakure manages to sneak her phone out.
