Episode 79

Win Those Kids' Hearts (掴めガキ心) is the seventy-ninth episode of the My Hero Academia anime and the sixteenth episode of the fourth season.

Summary
After changing into their Hero costumes, Shoto and Inasa head towards the training ground. Trying to make friends with Shoto, Inasa starts a conversation asking him about foods he likes. Shoto replies that he likes cold Soba, while Inasa says he prefers hot. Although they have different tastes, Inasa thinks they have something in common. Shoto advises him not to try to force a friendship between them. Katsuki feels upset about their interactions.

Once in the training ground, Yokumiru Mera introduces himself to the students telling them that he will be in charge today. He explains that they have rented out the general sports center for the training, and also that they will be joined by a new student.

All Might, Endeavor and Present Mic arrive at the bleaches. All Might prefers not to stand out so he suggests to find a spot to watch the lesson where they won't attract attention. Endeavor immediately starts shouting to Shoto to encourage him, drawing attention to him except, precisely, Shoto's, who prefers to ignore his father. Students are surprised to see the new Number One Hero there, but soon they recognize that the one who is next to him is All Might and they starts gushing about the former number one hero being there.

Yokumiru calms down the excited students and introduces them to their new teammate: Camie Utsushimi. Yokumiru explains that Camie is a special case because, although like them she "made it" to the second exam and fulfilled the requirements to take the supplementary classes, she seems to suffer from memory loss because she doesn't remember participating in the Provisional Hero License Exam. The bubbly Camie thanks the examiners for allowing her to participate.

From the bleachers, Seiji Shishikura and his teacher watches Camie and talks to about the fact that she was supplanted during the License Exam by the League of Villains. Seiji blames himself for not realizing this deception sooner and the teacher is worried because the Shiketsu High School is also in the League of Villains' sights.

Yokumiru decides to start with the training and Gang Orca arrive on the scene. He immediately yells at the students, disappointed by their performance during the supplementary classes. He is especially critical of Katsuki, Shoto and Inasa. He recognizes that they have enough combat abilities, but their behavior and lack of teamwork costed them dearly. He tells them that they need "heart" which is why Gang Orca plans to make them, along with Camie, learn how to connect to people, and so he’s devised a rigorous life-or-death battle for them.

The gymnasium doors begin to open and the four students prepare to face the challenge.... which turns out to be a huge class of elementary school kids from Masegaki Primary School. The students from Masegaki are especially misbehaved, lacking any sort of discipline or respect, even their teacher, Komari Ikoma, had lost control. The children start hitting, mocking, and making fun of Katsuki, Shoto and Inasa. Camie asks why she is also part of the group and Gang Orca clarifies that because she did not participate in the exam. Camie doesn't seem to mind as she likes kids, and hugged one of the kids between her breasts. In response, a girl pinches her butt and the others start to ignore her.

Komari apologizes for her class unruly and rebellious behavior but Gang Orca believes that they can change her class for the better. Before heading to supervise the training of the other students, Gang Orca tasks Katsuki, Shoto, Inasa and Camie to work together and “win over the hearts” of the rowdy school children.
