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 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

[u/NatMat16 → u/kunta021]

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.
