Joint Training Arc
Manga and the rest of Class 1-B show up for the Joint Training Battle, with Neito loudly claiming that the momentum is now moving to their side. Upon selecting teams, Manga is paired up with Itsuka, Shihai, and Kinoko for the second match against Class 1-A team consisting of Momo Yaoyorozu, Fumikage Tokoyami, Toru Hagakure and Yuga Aoyama.

Before the round begins, Itsuka devises a strategy to defeat Class 1-A. Itsuka's first plan is to use Shihai to attack their rivals with Dark Shadow. If this fails, Itsuka predicts the others will use light. This will be the signal for plan b. The light gives away Class 1-A's location, giving Manga and Kinoko the opening to barrage Class 1-A with their long-ranged Quirks.

After Shihai failed to capture Yuga, he and Kinoko proceed to initiate plan b. As Kinoko spreads her mushrooms, Manga produces a large-string of Katakana using his Quirk "Comic" to separate Momo Yaoyorozu from the rest of her team. He then utters the word "ジメジメ" ("humidity"), creating a humidifier that boosts the growth of Kinoko's mushrooms even further, while hiding within the shadows.

Later on, Manga prevents Fumikage from chasing after Shihai, who captures Yuga Aoyama, by producing the Katakana "ピョン" ("boing") and "ギリ" ("grind"), which bounce into Fumikage as he is distracted by mushrooms growing on him. Because he has been using his Quirk too much and in rapid succession, Manga feels his throat getting a little sore, however his actions allow Shihai to remove Yuga from the match.

Fumikage comes across Toru who is entirely covered by mushrooms. Fumikage realizes that in order to stand a chance at winning, he and the other members of the Class 1-A team must locate their opponents, but the mushrooms hinder their movements and reveal their position. At that time, while facing Itsuka alone, Momo manages to create and send to Fumikage and Toru a bag with infrared goggles for Fumikage and antifungal sprays to get rid of the mushrooms. Thanks to this, both Fumikage and Toru are ready to face their opponents.

From his hiding place, Manga watches as Fumikage heads to Kinoko and Shihai's position, not realizing that Toru has done the same with his, since thanks to the spray she manages to get rid of the mushrooms that made his Invisibility Quirk useless. Manga is attacked by Toru, unable to defend himself from Toru's blows. However, Manga is quickly saved by Itsuka's intervention, who grabs Toru in one of her fists while an unconscious Momo is roped to her. Since Kinoko also managed to defeat Fumikage, Class 1-B team wins the round.

After this, Manga stays to watch the remaining rounds along with the rest of the students. The Joint Training Battle ends with victory for class 1-A, and Manga expresses his discontent that his class ended up being defeated. Despite the fierce competition and the result, the exercise ends on good terms between both classes, and later Class 1-B visits Class 1-A's dormitories for socializing and dinner.
