Where class 1B gets all of the important stuff happen to them instead of 1A. USJ, do better in Sports Festival, one of them gets kidnapped at the camp, all of it.
There is an entire chapter devoted to figuring out hero names because chaos. Also some have been changed because they're no longer side characters whose names don't matter.
Setsuna Tokage gets talked out of Lizardy because it sounds too childish. They try thinking of other lizard names or other animals that regrow limbs to minimal success before Kuroiro suggests Nukekubi because that yokai is a female who disconnects her head. Other people suggest simple names like Splinter or Split.
Reiko Yanagi is told that Emily, whether or not it's from a videogame reference or a movie reference, is a reference and might cause copyright trouble in the future because according to Vlad King Aizawa got into a similar issue when he made the mistake of listening to Present Mic for name ideas. Kuroiro again comes up with a yokai name by suggesting Yureiko because both yurei and Reiko use the same kanji already.
No one tells Vlad King when Tetsutetsu Tetsutetsu names himself Real Steel that it's also a movie reference.
Manga Fukidashi can't decide between Otaku or Shonen so Tsunotori picks for him and everyone agrees Shonen sounds better. Also I, Manga, can break the fourth wall, hi readers!
Someone jokes that Honenuki should be called Osteomalacia because it's a bone softening disease and his quirk is softening and he looks like a skeleton. Everyone agrees it's a bad name. Then someone brings up fossils because Honenuki mentioned maybe putting mud in his name and bones plus mud sort of equals fossils and they spend way too long trying to help him figure out a name. Someone sooner or later comes up with Quicksand.
Kosei Tsuburaba couldn't think of anything and in canon that made him get his hero name be his last name by default. He's bad at decisions apparently because he couldn't figure out a hero costume either. But then everyone mentions cool-sounding air related words before he goes with Zephyr.
Ibara Shiozaki gets told that Vine is too simple so someone suggests making it Mothervine instead.
Yui Kodai is likewise told that Rule is too simple and she should come up with something better than a ruler pun. People throw out random names like Ratio and Sizeshifter and Magnifier before someone says that Kodai can shrink things too but someone else argues that at the right angle magnifying lenses make things look small and now everyone arguing.
Everyone agrees that Mines is too simple and barely related to Shoda's quirk so they think of words relating to two. They come up with stuff like Bistriker and Double Tap or just plain Tandem and Twice and Twain. Thankfully Shoda doesn't pick Twice and avoids a name repeat.
They try to get Sen Kaibara to change his name but he insists that he likes Spiral and he's keeping Spiral. At least until someone offers Helix and he realizes he likes it better.
No one can help Yosetsu Awase come up with anything better than Welder.
Togaru Kamakiri has no idea why he put Jack in Jack Mantis only that it sounds cool and he couldn't think of any mantis puns.
Oh, and Monoma is a better person and more well-liked because he doesn't yell all the time about class 1B being better than 1A.
This time Bakugo is the obnoxious noisy blond boy yelling about class 1A being better than 1B.
Although I'm not sure who's class 1A's Kendo. Iida? Midoriya?
