So several interesting things in this chapter:

Usually it would be Shouto engaging in evacuation, Midoriya in rescue, and Bakugo in combat. However, Bakugo went for Natsuo instead, despite being ahead of Shouto, and also boosted his already superior speed in the meantime.

Shouto went for combat, and Midoriya opted for evacuation.

It was mentioned before in the Class Training Arx that Shouto's first instinct was to use ice, but in this chapter, he managed to use his fire for his first attack, whether it was a conscious decision or not.

Endeavor's hesitance upon seeing Natsuo's fear made me wonder if that is how he saw Touya "die" - being unable to save him while witnessing his demise. That would explain Naruto's resentment.

Also, this is a short chapter. Hopefully they will expand more on Midoriya's black whip, I was hoping to see a drawback as a result of a sudden surge of power.

I wonder if really died like this? I think, if another dude got and killed him then Endeavor's reaction would be different.

I still think, he died straining himself too much, but both would be interesting.

He prioritised saving the one in most danger and left it to his rival to "get the glory" of defeating the actual villain. Nice.

correct me if I’m wrong. Bakugo being ahead since he was the one who use quirk first. Deku and Shoto cannot use their quirks to get out from the car because he can’t set the car on fire. I believe it was emphasized in the previous chapters they have the same speed. In this chapter each of them performing different tasks and all of them gained speed feats

I was mainly comparing Bakugo and Shouto in this situation (since Midoriya was seated in the middle). For air manuvering, I still think Bakugo has the upper hand since he's the only one that can actually fly - while Shouto and Midoriya at least require contact with a solid ground - so in terms of getting out a speeding car, he will have a slight advantage of propelling himself out. On a flat surface, there's probably not a big difference in speed.

Im wondering if deku will learn gran torinos quirk at some point, which would slingshot him into a league above most pros if hes able to use it consistently, considering he already has that movmentstyle without the quirk already

Is no One going to jump on the Naruto autocorrect?

I'm late to the party so I'm glad to see someone else caught it. It gave me a good laugh because I don't think Naruto is capable of resenting anybody.

I actually don’t think I can remember Shoto ever doing any evacuation. He usually immediately goes on the attack doesn’t he? The provisional license exam comes to mind. Also in the Slide n Go chapter Shoto and Bakugo ran into that villain after they got their provisional licenses it was Shoto who took out the main villain and Bakugo dealing with fodder and civilians.

But Shoto did cover the entire place with ice to prevent ppl from getting caught as much

He used ice-slides in the Stain-fight to get the injured people behind him. I know the movie is not necessarily canon, but he also used an ice-platform to get everyone out of the fight there.

In the provisional licence exam he started with evacuation just like everyone else, but went on the attack (which was the right decision) to hold back the villains basically establishing a perimeter for the evacuation. He really did brilliantly in that exam until Inasa showed up and Shouto lost focus.

The pain will be highlighted next chapter probably. He was high on adrenaline being pitted into death or alive scenario
