U.A. High School

Faculty

Present Mic

Shota and Hizashi as commentators.

Shota and Hizashi used to be classmates at U.A. and were good friends for a very long time. Hizashi even came up with the hero name "Eraser Head" for him. Although he used it as an example of why his class should be careful about choosing a hero name as they could be stuck with a bad one forever, he doesn't seem to mind the name Hizashi picked for him.

Though they have contrasting personalities, with Shota being calm and composed while Hizashi is very excitable and energetic, they still get along very well.

All Might

Shota and All Might talking.

Due to their contrasting personalities and the way Shota antagonized Izuku on the first day of school, he and All Might initially did not get along. All Might disapproves of Shota's overly-strict teaching methods while Shota dislikes the favoritism that All Might shows Izuku.

However, Shota respects his fellow hero who shows him the same as seen when he saved Shota from Nomu in U.S.J. Arc. After the Hideout Raid Arc, when All Might defeats All For One and loses One For All, Shota tries to reach out to him by inviting him to get a drink sometime, hinting that the two may have found a level of understanding. All Might kindly turns him down but offered him a drink after they met the wild Bakugo family. Shota even told him to take it easy and recover now that he is retired.

Vlad King

Shota and Sekijiro.

They are both fellow Pro Heroes and homeroom teachers of the Department of Heroes for their respective classes. As Vlad King views Class 1-A as his class' rivals, this rivalry is extended toward Shota, with Vlad acting out competitively towards him.

Despite this rivalry, Vlad knows when to cooperate with Shota during serious moments. This was shown in their meeting with the media where he was worried that Shota would lose his temper though he was surprised when the latter kept calm and agreed with the heckling.

Midnight

Shota unimpressed by Midnight's "reasons" to be a teacher.

Nemuri was Shota's senior when he was a U.A. student. When he was in the second year, she helped him to carry out his Hero Work-Studies with the hero His Purple Highness, forming the Team Purple Revolution together with Oboro Shirakumo.

Since then, he and Nemuri appear on good terms and they often help each other, like when he asked her to help his class in matters he couldn't be bothered with. They usually had a good relationship, and Shota doesn't bother with Nemuri's "enthusiastic" attitude towards youth, but he is annoyed when she would makes decisions for him without his consent.

This behavior is the main reason why Shota is a member of the U.A. teaching staff. When Nemuri was personally requested by principal Nezu for the position of teacher, she submitted a recommendation to the principal for Shota, being accepted as a teacher, even though he had told her that the idea of him being a teacher is the epitome of irrationality.

During the aftermath of the Paranormal Liberation War, as much as Shota wanted to mourn Nemuri's death but he focused on the status of the students, regardless he was still saddened by her death.

Class 1-A

As the homeroom teacher of U.A.'s Class 1-A, Shota cares a lot about the safety and well-being of his students, willing to sacrifice his own life to protect them from danger. He has very high standards for his students when it comes to heroism, and seriously pushes them in that regard. Although he rarely gives praise, he expects great things from all of them and he knows how to recognize when they do a good job.

However, he is also extremely strict and does not hesitate to criticize and scold them when they do not meet their expectations or make bad decisions, never pulls his punches with the truth, especially when it comes to pointing out flaws or naivete. His stern demeanor also makes it harder for his students to determine whether or not he is being sincere in his teaching methods, so when he threatens them with "rational falsehoods" like expulsions or punishments to force them to exert themselves to the fullest, they mistake him for being serious and understandably get scared.

Izuku Midoriya

Shota criticizes Izuku's ability of becoming a hero.

When Shota first meets Izuku, he had zero faith in Izuku's ability to be a hero and intended to ‘expel' him on the first day of school. Izuku was as equally put off by him until he realizes who Shota is and becomes the first of the class to identify him as Eraser Head. Shota takes note of All Might's interest in Izuku, as a result he considers him just as reckless as the latter. However, when Izuku proves his worth to Shota, he acknowledges that Izuku has the potential to become a hero if he can learn to control his Quirk.

As the series goes on, Shota continues to regard Izuku as a "problem child" due to Izuku's habit of causing trouble and getting himself into danger. However, Shota also shows faith in Izuku's potential and is amazed at his growth and the improvement in his abilities. He has recently started to respect Izuku more often, though he is still strict on him.

In return, Izuku respected Shota's work as a hero and expressed concern for him when he fought the League of Villains and was amazed by the latter's abilities since he realized he underestimated him. However, he was horrified to watch him being defeated by Nomu and carried Shota away.

Recently, Shota has taken note of Izuku's Quirk gradually changing, questioning him on the phenomenon and getting a vague answer.

During the Paranormal Liberation War, when Tomura targets Eraser Head to stop his Erasure Quirk, Deku stops Tomura alongside Katsuki. While holding him back, Deku exclaims that contrary to what Gran Torino said that losing One For All being the worst-case scenario, losing his teacher who had always looked out for him would be so, he refusing to stand back while his life is on the line; these words touch Eraser Head, and make him more determined to stop Tomura Shigaraki.

Katsuki Bakugo

Katsuki is restrained by Shota.

Like with Izuku, Shota is rude to Katsuki due to the latter's own rude, brash, and violent behavior. He tends to look over Katsuki more than any other student, stemming from his reckless and loud behavior. However, Katsuki appears to respect his teacher for being a hero and appears to take his advice.

They first interacted in the Battle Trial Arc, where Shota restrains Katsuki from attacking Izuku.

Despite their turbulent start, Shota recognizes Katsuki's talents and defended him during his match with Ochaco in the Sports Festival after Katsuki was admonished for his supposed cruelty in the match.

During the Final Exams Arc, he overheard Katsuki's declaration to the class and noted he was getting worse. Shota also paired Katsuki up with Izuku for them to work together and it worked.

However, it is shown in the Hideout Raid Arc that he acknowledges he has the qualities of a hero when asked by the press about his "villain like" behavior. Shota correctly states that Katsuki will not become a villain, which was seen when the latter refused to join the League of Villains.

When he meets the Bakugo Family, he was complimented for seeing Katsuki for who he really was and not overlooking his faults.

Shota is one of the few characters to not be intimidated by Katsuki, as seen when he doesn't hesitate to insult him and bring down punishment on him, such as when he reprimanded him and Izuku for fighting. Katsuki was also intimidated by the harsh discipline and followed through with the order.

During Joint Training Arc, Shota complimented Katsuki's willingness to cooperate with his team, which led to his victory. Shota expressed pride in Katsuki gradually changing his ways while Katsuki told him to not dwell on it.

Throughout his teachings with Katsuki, Shota has high hopes for Katsuki to become the no. 1 Hero after he graduates, and he has profound respect for Katsuki and his progress even in the middle of the Paranormal Liberation War when Katsuki saves him from getting attacked by the near-completed Tomura.

He was devastated when Tomura nearly killed Katsuki in the Final War after the latter punched him very hard at his chest, bursting his heart in the process, feeling extremely guilty that he had to confront Tomura when he was at his completed state, all while Tomura mocks his failure to save Katsuki behind the electric forcefield.

Shoto Todoroki

Shota and Shoto.

His relationship with Shoto is good and ackowledges his skill. Generally, he does not cause him as many problems as Izuku and Katsuki, although Shota knows that Shoto also has his own issues to overcome.

He was in awe at seeing Shoto's power, during his battle with Hanta at the Sports Festival.

During the practical exam, Shoto was paired with Momo, with them clashing with Shota as their opponent. During the confrontation, Shota manages to wrap up Shoto. He tells Shoto his plan placed too much of the burden on himself and that he needs to trust Momo more. Shoto follows the advice of his teacher, and together with Momo they manage to defeat him.

Days later, during the Hideout Raid Arc, Shoto was one of the five students who skipped the rules to go to rescue Katsuki. This action brought him harsh criticism from Shota who said that, had it not been for All Might's retirement, he would have been expelled along with the other students.

In Shie Hassaikai Arc, Shota noticed that Shoto was the only student who chose not to fight Mirio Togata and remarked the latter was calmer after he stated that he didn't get his provisional license.

Over time, their relationship improves and Shota showed concern for Shoto when the fight between Endeavor and High-End was broadcast on television. When Endeavor appeared on the verge of defeat, Shota ran to where Shoto was, concerned about how this could affect him. After Endeavor's victory, he stood over him as he clasped his hands in prayer, relieved his father emerged victorious.

Ochaco Uraraka

Shota comforting Ochaco.

His relationship with Ochaco is minimal but they get along.

In their first meeting, he scared her with his deadpan nature and she had a hard time thinking he was a hero, though found his Quirk to be amazing. Over time, their status has progressed into a positive light. During the Sports Festival, he told the gathering audience that to be a good hero they needed resilience and Ochaco was showing that in her battle with Katsuki. He was impressed by her ingenius move and by her final effort in the match.

As her teacher, Shota tries to teach Ochaco to be a heroine, not hesitating to criticize her harshly when he sees that her performance is not adequate, as shown when she barely passed her final exam against Thirteen.

Likewise, he also tries to encourage and comfort her in difficult times. After Sir Nighteye's death, Ochaco feels guilty because she thought she could have done much more to save him, but Shota consoles her and replies that she bears no responsibility and the fault lies with the heroes, asking her to take time and think about what she wants to do in the future, to which she responds that she wants to save people.

Months later, after she saved Izuku during the 5th round of the Joint Training Battle, Shota recognizes that Ochaco has matured and improved a lot since last time.

Minoru Mineta

Shota punishes Minoru for his behavior.

Shota is aware of Minoru's perverted personality, he even does not hesitate to describe him as the "embodiment of lust". Although Shota does not do much to correct this attitude, he does not allow Minoru to cross certain lines of human decency, especially when it comes to peeking on girls while they bathe. For this reason, Shota usually warns other people about Minoru's attitude so that they take the necessary measures in this regard, or he generates an aura of intimidation to make sure that Minoru does not do anything perverted.

However, Shota also supports him and gives him confidence when he feels overwhelmed by a challenge, as when Minoru was nervous about the Provisional Hero License Exam. Shota encourages him to do his best so that he can pass the exam and further his goal of becoming a Hero. This both scared and encouraged the young hero to try his best.

Yuga Aoyama

Shota assures Yuga that he will not expel him.

While they're not seen interacting often, Shota cares about Yuga just as he does with all his students as their homeroom teacher. Despite this, he remains strict with him just like he is with the others. During the Quirk Training Camp, he pushes stricter training on him and Ochaco, saying that they only passed their practical battle against Thirteen by a hair.

Upon discovering Yuga's betrayal and him being an unwilling mole for All For One, he apologizes for not noticing his student's pain and assures Yuga that he has no intention of expelling him from U.A. He then formulates a plan on how to use Yuga to deceive All For One and the villains (which Yuga and his parents don't hear due to having their ears covered).

Upon seeing Yuga at Central Hospital, Shota remains compassionate towards him, asking if he's scared which Yuga replies that he is. Even so, Shota does not gloss over the gravity of his treachery, saying that once everything subsides, he can't guarantee that Yuga will be able to return to U.A. yet he still has no intention of expelling him. Shota adds that he knows they aren't seeming that different from All For One; holding him captive and using him for their own interests, but he assures Yuga that everyone will be there to help and protect him. He then encourages Yuga to be brave and help them defeat All For One, saying that he's still his student and that he won't let him be forever tormented by his sins.

Shota's encouragement had proven to be key in helping Yuga overcome his fear of All For One, which in turn allowed the heroes to get the drop on the villains after he successfully executed Shota's plan by pretending to betray Izuku again as to lure All For One out of hiding.

Class 1-B

Neito Monoma

Shota strangles Neito.

In spite of him teaching his rival class, Neito doesn't show any ill will to the teacher and shows him respect.

Despite this, Shota has shown to find annoyance in Neito's behavior, as he scolds him before Itsuka can and tells him to behave.

During the end of the Joint Training Arc, Shota wants Neito to help Eri in mastering her Quirk. When Neito can't do it, Shota does not seem surprised and thanks him for trying. That being said, he doesn't have a good opinion of Neito's personality, so when he asked him for help, he also asked Izuku and Mirio to be present because he didn't want to leave Neito alone with Eri as his eccentric personality would be bad for her mental health. Neito is upset that he has such negative opinion of him.

Other students

Hitoshi Shinso

Hitoshi with Shota.

It's been implied that Shota first noticed Hitoshi during the U.A. Sports Festival, because of the similarities in their Quirks' lack of real combat efficiency. Shota later decides to mentor Hitoshi personally to help him transfer into the Hero Course, passing on his Capturing Weapon techniques to Hitoshi to increase his battle efficiency.

They share a student-teacher relationship in a manner similar to Izuku and All Might with the same sentiments as Izuku after the latter passed his entry into the Hero Course.

Present Mic suggests that one of the reasons for his interest in training Hitoshi is because Shota sees his young self in him.

Mirio Togata

Mirio will help Shota take care of Eri.

Until the Shie Hassaikai Raid, there was little interaction between the two. Mirio respects him as a teacher, and Shota recognizes Mirio as U.A.'s most powerful student, even considering him to be the top candidate for No. 1 Hero over all of the Pro Heroes.

After the rescue of Eri, the loss of Mirio's Permeation Quirk, and the death of Sir Nighteye, Shota comforts a disconsolate Mirio, promising that he will look for a way to help him to recover his Quirk.

When Eri is under Shota's custody, Mirio helps him take care of her and it is common to see them together when Eri walks through the U.A. Shota is hopeful that Eri will learn to control her Rewind and thereby, restore Mirio's Permeation. Shota later allowed Eri to use her Quirk on Mirio, successfully restoring his powers.

Former classmates

Oboro Shirakumo

Shota and Oboro's friendship.

Alongside Hizashi, Oboro was one of his closest friends when he was still a student at U.A. High. They had a good relationship and used to interact frequently, especially during their second year, when Shota began to have serious doubts about his abilities and his future as a hero. Oboro was there to encourage him and help him with his problems. Oboro used to tell Shota that the only thing he achieved with his negative attitude was to psyching himself. Oboro really thought he was better than he thought, and if he intended, he could do anything.

Thanks to Nemuri, they both did their Hero Work-Studies at the Purple Revolution Agency, where they show an extraordinary teammate to deal with the villains. It was at one of those moments when Oboro lent his goggles to Shota so that he could protect his eyes and thus, face a villain whose Quirk countered his Erasure.

Oboro highly valued his friendship with Shota and Hizashi, to the point where he even proposed to them the idea that, once they graduated, the three together would create and organize their own Hero Agency. Unfortunately, a week later Oboro died after being crushed by a pile of rubble in a confrontation against a villain, who was defeated by Shota alone. During the fight, Shota heard how his friend was always cheering him on, but after his victory, he founds out that Oboro was already dead before he started fighting, and Sensoji tells him it was likely he was giving himself a pep talk and the stress situation made him imagine it was Oboro. Shota, along with Hizashi, mourned the loss of his friend.

Even today, despite the years that have passed, Shota still remembers his old friend. Hizashi suggests that one of the reasons for his interest in training Hitoshi, aside from Shota seeing his young self in him, is also because of Oboro.

Shota is terribly affected when Detective Naomasa Tsukauchi and Gran Torino inform him that All For One stole and desecrated the corpse of Oboro, by subjecting his body to several modifications and using it as the base to create the Nomu, Kurogiri. In a rare display of emotion, he shed tears at voicing their dream of being heroes and seeing the visage of Oboro in the smoke.

After their meeting, Shota continued to visit Kurogiri, in hopes of re-awakening Oboro, after he was transferred to Central Hospital but the Nomu remains in a state of unconsciousness.

Sensoji

Sensoji mocks Shota.

Sensoji was a student of Class 2-B with whom he did not get along. He had an arrogant personality, and he used to despise Shota by considering him a weakling and having an equally weak Quirk. Although Shota did not usually consider him a smart one, and he generally ignored his provocations, since at that time he was going through a crisis, having serious doubts about his ability to be a hero, he could not deny that there was a certain truth in his words.

However, thanks to Oboro's support, Shota improved his combat ability, and at some point during training, between him and Oboro, they managed to defeat Sensoji. Still, Shota did not consider it a fair fight, arguing that a two-on-one is not fair, and tried to have the fight end in good terms between the two, but Sensoji considered his defeat to Shota humiliating and despised his mercy.

Despite this enmity, when Shota defeated Garvey alone, Sensoji did not hesitate to congratulate him and acknowledge that he had accomplished an outstanding feat and that he should be proud of it. After this incident, their relationship improved a lot. Sensoji no longer antagonized Shota neither got angry when Shota defeated him in training battle and even thanked him for his advice.

Pro Heroes

Ms. Joke

Shota annoyed by Emi.

Shota has known Ms. Joke for a long time; their workplaces were once close to each other and as a result, whenever there was trouble, they would assist each other. Ms. Joke often states she likes him and enjoys poking fun at him, though he seems to find her jokes and general disposition to be annoying, but still tolerates her presence and shows a willingness to work with her.

Ms. Joke is determined to get Shota to laugh using her Quirk, Outburst, or otherwise, however, Shota is always one step ahead before she gets the chance by erasing her Quirk.

His Purple Highness

His Purple Highness scolds Shota for his gloomy face.

His Purple Highness was the hero whose under guardianship Shota took part in the Work-Studies. Mr. Purple highly valued Shota's ability to be a hero and congratulated him when he did a good job, but he was quick to recognize that Shota is not exactly a people-person and would make for a poor media presence.

Mr. Purple is the one who teaches him the importance of showing a smile, even if things are not going well, in order to convey tranquility and confidence to the people he should help.

Civilians

Eri

Shota taking Eri to enjoy Christmas with Class 1-A.

Eri was unable to control her Quirk after Izuku defeated Overhaul, causing Izuku visible pain. Shota, albeit injured, was brought to the scene so he could erase Eri's out-of-control Quirk. Since then, Shota has been somewhat of a guardian for Eri, sometimes taking charge of her care as she lives with the U.A. faculty in the dorms. Eri is comfortable with Shota's presence and listens to him well.

Shota appears to have a soft spot for Eri, having bought her a matching set of cat-themed clothes while she was in the hospital for her to wear when she was discharged. Shota is known to like cats, making this gesture somewhat more meaningful. Shota has been attempting to train Eri to control and use her Rewind Quirk at will but realizes that her horrendous psychological trauma and physical torture at the hands of Overhaul has made the task of teaching her control a very arduous undertaking, but one he continues to stick with.

Due to his role as Eri's custodian, Shota has a degree of influence over whom she interacts with, primarily relying on Mirio Togata on assistance with looking out for her.

He has grown to have faith in her abilities, as he allowed her to use her Quirk on Mirio, successfully restoring his powers.

League of Villains

Tomura Shigaraki

Tomura clashes with Eraser Head.

They first meet in the U.S.J., when Tomura leads a raid in the hopes to kill the symbol of peace. Eraser Head began to fight off Tomura's grunts before Tomura attacked him while Shota was thinking he was the "final boss". However, Tomura's attack leaving him with a destroyed elbow after he deduces and exploits the hero's weakness though Tomura still shows him respect and calls him cool for not only still standing but standing against him and his forces single-handedly.

Unfortunately, Tomura's attack left Shota blind to notice Nomu who thrashes the pro-hero into the ground, something Tomura watched with glee. After Tomura makes a move to kill his students, Eraser Head quickly prevents this by canceling out his Quirk, and Tomura is forced to compliment him on his strong will before Nomu takes him down.

The two of them meet once again during the Paranormal Liberation War Arc where Tomura is chasing Izuku and Katsuki in an effort to steal Izuku's One For All. Shota, filled with a desire to avenge his fallen comrades, nullified Tomura's Decay Quirk before the latter could use it to counter a physical blow from Ryuko. Shota then tells the villain not to lay his hands on his students, to which Tomura replied how he continues to be cool.

As the battle drags on while Shota continues maintaining his Quirk to support the increasing number of heroes fighting Tomura, the villain used two of the replicated Quirk-destroying bullets and fired them at Shota. Despite one of the bullets having managed to hit his broken right leg, Shota was aware of the bullet beforehand thanks to Ryukyu's warning and immediately sliced off his leg before the effects could spread into his system. Tomura admired Shota's resolve and thought of how he cool he is, but did not let his feelings deter him from closing in on Shota and almost crushing his face before the U.A. teacher was saved by both Shoto and Izuku. After narrowly escaping death, Shota succumbed to the injury inflicted by Tomura and fell unconscious for the remainder of the battle.

Kurogiri

Shota and Hizashi interrogate Kurogiri.

Shota met the villain Kurogiri at the same time as Tomura Shigaraki. At that time he saw him as one more criminal, a member of the League of Villains. However, he recognized him as one of the most dangerous after he had stopped the class from escaping and trapping them inside the U.S.J. hall.

This perspective changed when he and Hizashi are informed that Kurogiri is their former classmate and friend Oboro Shirakumo, or more correctly, his corpse revived and bioengineered by All For One. The idea that the body of Oboro has been desecrated in such a way leaves him feeling agitated, and he hopes that everything is just a big misunderstanding, because when they fought at U.S.J., Kurogiri's behavior was completely different from Oboro's.

Shota tearfully reaches out to Oboro.

Due to the Nomu's ability to retain personality traits of their past life, Naomasa and Gran Torino plan to try to wake up Oboro with some attachments he had toward his old life, making Shota and Hizashi personally interview him. The villain does not react to seeing them and does not seem to remember anything when he was Oboro, but his genuine concern for others (in his case Tomura Shigaraki) and the fact that he describes himself as the type of person who cannot abandon others, confirms Shota that he is really his friend Oboro.

Saddened to know the truth, and with tears in his eyes, Shota yells to Kurogiri that if Oboro is still in there, the three of them can still be heroes together. His words caused Oboro's visage to emerge and Shota was devastated by his friend's fate.

Kyudai Garaki

Shota holds deep animosity towards Dr. Garaki for his role in the conversion of Oboro's body into the Nomu, Kurogiri. Upon confronting the doctor during the raid at Jaku Hospital, Shota trapped the doctor with his binding cloth and angrily stated how he and All For One had tossed so many people aside, so now it was their turn to take everything away from Kyudai. It's revealed that Kyudai had actually desired Shota's Erasure Quirk instead of Oboro's Cloud Quirk when he took the latter's body.

Vigilantes

Knuckleduster

Shota talking to Knuckleduster.

Shota meets Knuckleduster while the latter assaulted Mario Kugutsu trying to make him spill the beans about Trigger. Thinking that he was part of the "spontaneous villain" outbreak, Shota tries to stop Knuckleduster, but he responds violently starting a fight between the two. Shota tries to use his Quirk to stop him, surprised to see that it did not work on him, but soon realizes that Knuckleduster is Quirkless.

Understanding this, Shota stops fighting Knuckleduster and apologizes to him because if he isn't using a Quirk for illegal activities, then he falls outside hero jurisdiction. He thinks about calling the police to take care of him, but when Mario, Soga Kugisaki, and his friends become Instant Villains, he helps Knuckleduster to stop them.

Later, Shota thanks Knuckleduster for his assistance though warns him about the dangers of his vigilante activities. Knuckleduster replies that Heroes need people like him to deliver justice without restrictions. Shota finds it a ridiculous notion that Knuckleduster believes his unlawful justice are crimes of conscience and finds him to be a troublesome old man but respects his integrity.

Koichi Haimawari

Shota and Koichi.

Shota first encounters Koichi while he was with Knuckleduster when he assaulted Mario, although there was not much interaction between them.

They do not meet again in person until several months later, while he is investigating Trigger's traffic. Koichi meets Shota by chance, and both recognize each other from their previous encounter. At that time, the Next-Level Villain, Octoid, was on a rampage, so Shota tries to stop him but is wounded in the fight. When Octoid was about to finish him, Koichi intervenes to save his life. With the help of the Hotta Brothers, Shota and Koichi collaborate to defeat Octoid.

In contrast to Kazuho's growing relationship with Midnight, Koichi's relationship with Shota starts off fairly one-sided, as every time he meets Shota, he greets him friendly, only to be met with ignored annoyance from him, most likely due to a combination of his natural personality, and wanting to keep him out of trouble.

Like many of his future students, he is fairly critical of Koichi, specifically his recklessness and willingness to jump into trouble, which he spells out to him when he is called to apprehend him in the aftermath of the Final Performance.

However, he also demonstrates a level of care and respect toward Koichi. He provides him advice on what to do with a stray cat, he follows along to the Naruhata news years after leaving, and during their chase recognizes his skillfulness in being able to stay one step ahead of him.

Ichiro and Jiro Hotta

Shota and the Hotta brothers.

At first, Shota had a confrontation with Ichiro and Jiro Hotta, while investigating the traffic of Trigger. They attack him, but Shota defeats them easily. The Hotta brothers avoid being arrested for their illicit dealings by becoming Shota's associates. Since then, Shota uses their store as his impromptu hideout, which frustrates the brothers to no end, and they do not hesitate to protest to him for this. Shota does not care about their opinions about him, although he admits they make good coffee.

Still, they do not hesitate to lend him a hand in the fight with Octoid.
