Chapter 22

'''So That's What's It's About, Ochako! '(そういうことねお茶子さん, Souiu Koto ne Ochako-san'') is the twenty-second chapter of Boku no Hero Academia.

Summary
The chapter begins in the Yuuei Conference Room. The Yuuei faculty is having a meeting about the League of Villains. Naomasa Tsukauchi informs the Yuuei faculty that he could not find or obtain any information on the perpetrators who attacked the USJ the other day. All Might tells the Yuuei faculty that the ringleader, Tomura Shigaraki, displayed a child-like mindset, which intrigues the Yuuei faculty. Naomasa says that the villains they captured the other day all swore allegiance to Tomura and surmises that these villains may have been attracted by Tomura's child-like mindset due to being pressurized by the great amount of Heroes in this present age. Naomasa declares that he will be assisting the Police in order to continue capturing more criminals. Before the meeting ends, Mr. Principal suggests that due to his child-like mindset, they could help Tomura grow but then supposes that it's naive of him to think that way.

In Class 1-A, Shouta has announced to his students that the Yuuei Sports Festival is approaching and encourages his students to use the Yuuei Sports Festival to get noticed as the country's top Pro Heroes will be watching it.

After the fourth period of Modern Literature ends, at noonday break, Ochako, while walking with her friends Izuku and Tenya, tells them that she wants to become a Hero to earn money noting that it is a selfish reason, but Tenya says that becoming a Hero to make a living isn't selfish at all. Ochako decides to tell Izuku and Tenya about her family; that her family works in the construction business, but due to there being no work her family is poor. A flashback occurs with a young Ochako asking her father to allow her to help in the family business but Ochako's father refuses, saying that he wants Ochako to make her own dreams come true. The flashback ends. Ochako declares that she will become a Hero and earn lots of money so that she can use the money to make the lives of her parents easier. Both Izuku and Tenya find Ochako's goal to be admirable. All Might appears and asks Izuku to have lunch with him, to which Izuku complies.

In the restroom, both All Might and Izuku eat their lunch. Izuku tells All Might that he has gained a small amount of control over One For All, which pleases All Might. All Might tells Izuku that his time as the Symbol of Peace is nearing the end, saddening Izuku. All Might says to Izuku that he wants Izuku to tell the world at the Yuuei Sports Festival that he is the next generation's "All Might", shocking Izuku.
