Bakugo actually lets Deku help him, and you feel the weight of that moment because the show earned it over five seasons. Every Class 1-A kid gets a real second to breathe outside the main plot pressure, which means their teamwork hits different when the survival course turns lethal. The animation budget shows up where it matters: not everywhere, but exactly where a real fan needs to see it.

Some Class 1-A students are sent to a training course to sharpen their survival skills, set before the Provisional Hero License Exam. Without their provisional licenses yet, they are keen to relax and enjoy themselves, but the threat they meet turns out to be real rather than staged. Passing will take everything they have learned, plus teamwork and fast thinking. A two-episode action comedy side story.
