Sports Festival Arc
He finishes the obstacle race, placing 36th,  allowing him to continue onto the next event, the Human Cavalry Battle.

During the team formation, he tells everyone on Class B they should give a lesson to "those Class A snobs". He forms a team with other Class B students. Before the Human Cavalry Battle begins, Neito says to Tetsutetsu Tetsutetsu that they should participate with no hard feelings towards each other, which Tetsutetsu agrees with. Later, he steals Tooru's bandanna without her team noticing. After Katsuki fails to steal Izuku's bandanna, he swiftly steals Katsuki's bandana. He then explains Katsuki that the Class B students purposely got left behind in the Obstacle Race so that they could study Class A's Quirks. He then reveals he knew about Katsuki's incident with the Mud Man a year ago and taunts Katsuki, asking how he feels being attacked by villains "once a year". Katsuki then decides he'll battle Neito before going after Izuku.

One of his classmates tell him to stop riling the other class which Neito apologizes for doing, saying it is quite unheroic of him and will heed her words. Neito begins his battle against Katsuki, copying and using Katsuki's Quirk against him, sending an explosion into Katsuki's face. Katsuki tries to attack Neito again, but Neito copies and uses Eijirou's Quirk to block him and shrugs him off. Neito is then confronted by another Class-B student, Bondo, and his team, and one of Monoma's teammates tells him they should just back off. After that, Neito tells Katsuki not to become enraged since he fanned the flames, and Katsuki says that he will be number one.

Neito says that they should concentrate on keeping the headbands they have. When Katsuki's team approaches them again, Neito comments on their persistence, saying that its not flattering. He then sees that Katsuki is right above him and warns Kousei about the danger, which Kousei responds to by creating a solidified air wall, blocking Katsuki. Seeing that the danger is gone, Neito turns away and lets his guard down, but as he does, Katsuki breaks the wall and grabs two of his headbands, which shocks Neito. Neito says that all they have to do is defend their last headband to qualify. Neito comments that Hanta's tape failed to hit them, but becomes surprised when he sees Katsuki's team reach them so quickly. He tries to attack Katsuki, but Katsuki manages to grab Neito's last headband, setting his team's score down to zero. After the Human Cavalry Battle ends, Neito and his team fail to qualify for the final event.

Neito is seen sitting next to his class, watching the match between Ochako and Katsuki. He comments that Ochako was drawing Katsuki's attention downward while preparing her meteor shower of rubble to use against him so that he could not see what was going on above, saying that Ochako made sure her ceaseless attacks and smokescreen would narrow his field of vision as well. Neito says that Ochako never let Katsuki catch onto her plan.

After the match between Fumikage and Katsuki ends, Neito comments that Katsuki simply got a lucky Quirk matchup.

Quirk
"Copy" - Neito's Quirk allows him to duplicate and use another Quirk after coming into contact with the Quirk user. After doing so, Neito gains full access to the Quirk he has copied and can use it however he likes. This Quirk also allows him to copy multiple Quirks.

However, a drawback is that Neito can only use the Quirk he has copied for five minutes and after the five minutes are over, he losses access to that Quirk. Also, Neito cannot simultaneously use two or more copied Quirks at the same time and thus he can only use one copied Quirk at a time.

Katsuki Bakugou
Neito sees Katsuki along the other members of his class as arrogant and their popularity must be toppled. However, Katsuki didn't give him much attention until he took his bandana and mock him for being attacked by villains every year. This alone enraged Katsuki so much to the point of overlooking Izuku whom he had his eyes on in order to destroy Neito's team first. Later, with repeated taunting and mocking and copying his Quirk, Katsuki's rage just grow even further and he swear again that he will become number 1, but this time he adds that he will be destroying everyone.
