The current Culture Festival arc of the My Hero Academia manga is underway, and with it has come many developments. Izuku is on his way to developing a new skill for his Full Cowl, but things aren't all roses for him.

The latest chapter of the series, in fact, even takes Izuku down a peg as he is hit with a major failure, being fired from the Class 1-A's dance troupe.

In Chapter 173, Class 1-A is prepping their big live show for the Culture Festival, especially now that Eri has come to visit, and Midoriya and Mirio have been giving Eri a tour around the campus. After seeing everyone prepare for the Festival in their own way, Midoriya is impressed at all of their work.

Eri is too, but she also feels a bit bad seeing everyone work hard. But Midoriya and Mirio help her to look forward to the festival instead and encourage her just to be excited to see all of their hard work come to fruition. By this, he especially means she should be excited for Class 1-A's big performance.

But what soon happens afterward, however, is Midoriya finds that he's been fired from Class 1-A's performance. While this certainly takes fans, and Midoriya especially, by surprise, it was hinted at earlier in the chapter as Midoriya was once seen struggling to nail the dance down.

This also wasn't helped by the fact that he left to go with Mirio and Eri, and also probably isn't helped by the fact that he already feels inferior to the work of the other classes. While fans won't see the fallout until the next chapter of the series, Izuku was noticeably taken down a peg hilariously and thoroughly.

Along with the manga and season 3 of the anime series, a film adaptation will also open in 2018. The film will cover a story not seen in the original manga with series creator Horikoshi noting that, "Of course the movie will be filled with Class A's great efforts, that character's past that hasn't been in the manga yet, flashy action scenes, and much more." The film also revealed its first key visual depicting a character fans have never seen before.

The third season of the series is, for sure, set to adapt the School Trip arc, which follows the students of Class 1-A head to a forest in order to bring the control of their Quirks to a new level. Suddenly, the League of Villains attacks in order to kidnap one of the students and Midoriya and the others must think quickly on their feet in order to survive. But recent clues from the most recent poster of the season teases that it could beyond this into the Hideout Raid arc.

For those unfamiliar with My Hero Academia, the series was created by Kohei Horikoshi and has been running in Shueisha's Weekly Shonen Jump since July 2014. The story follows Izuku Midoriya, who lives in a world where everyone has super powers but he was born without them. Dreaming to become a superhero anyway, he's eventually scouted by the world's best hero All Might and enrolls in a school for professional heroes. The series has been collected into 15 volumes so far, and has been licensed by Viz Media for an English language release since 2015.
