UA Band

"Like last time at the Culture Festival, Let's show 'em everything we're made of! We pulled it off once, didn't we?"

- Kyoka gathering the Band.

UA Band is the friendship ship between Kyoka Jirou, Momo Yaoyorozu, Katsuki Bakugou, Denki Kaminari and Fumikage Tokoyami from the My Hero Academia fandom.

School Festival Arc
While walking outside, Katsuki overhears the conversation between two students from the General E-D, being condescending toward the Hero Course and their decision to hold a live show to lift the rest of the school's spirits, blaming Class 1-A for the damage being caused by the recent villain attacks against the UA. Back in Heights Alliance, Class 1-A is deciding their roles for the upcoming Cultural Festival. First, they're deciding who should play which instruments, and Kyoka notes that she mostly plays guitar, and doesn't really have the time to teach someone. She asks if anyone can play the drums since the drummer's job is to provide the beat to support the other instruments. Denki points out Katsuki was forced to play when he was younger. Katsuki refuses to do, but Hanta teases him which makes the former display his prowess in playing drums.

Everyone is impressed by his performance and they want him to be the drummer, but he doesn’t want to due to the fact the other departments are mad at them and their attempts to please will only look like self-satisfaction from 1-A and they will not accept it. This leads Toru to get cross with Katsuki, Tenya admits he has a point and Shoto says he should not speak ill of them if he has not even partaken in the conversation. However, Katsuki counters on saying there is no point in trying to play nice with departments if they are going to do a band and dance performance, they should do it for the sake of it and not for pleasing or helping people. Katsuki announces that he will blow everyone away in UA with his sound. Some of Class 1-A are surprised by Katsuki's willingness to participate, being fired up by his words, as Kyoka says she will do her best. Shoto realizes that his attitude is due to the heavy burden he has been carrying since he was kidnapped by the League of Villains.

Students continues to discuss positions. Momo offers to be the pianist since she received piano lessons as a child. Kyoka accepts and says that she will be the bass player, and the only thing missing are the guitarists and vocals. Everyone else will dance, but Mina quickly goes on to discuss the staging, as they need effects to set the mood, and suggest Shoto and Eijiro will make ice dust while Yuga will be the disco ball – an idea that Yuga himself likes. Izuku, Ochaco, Tsuyu, and Eijiro arrive at the dorm after they finally made up all their classes, and join the discussion. Looking for a singer for their band, Eijiro, and Yuga try out for the position. As it turns out, Eijiro can't get the right genre, Yuga is a falsetto, and Minoru just yells noises. Then, Ochaco and Toru nominate Kyoka as they know she has a great voice. Kyoka is at first reluctant to be the singer but when she sings... she belts out an absolutely stunning song that blows away her classmates, and they immediately make her the Class 1-A's vocalist.

As for the guitarist positions, Denki and Minoru try out; the former being able to perform well while the latter laments his inability to reach around a guitar. While the rest of the students decide whether to dance or take care of the effects, Fumikage picks up the guitar left by Minoru, showing himself to be a good guitarist, although he states that he has a hard time with the F chord. Everyone accepts him as the second guitarist, although Minoru is depressed and spiteful for having failed, Mina manages to encourage him by promising him a solo harem part if he joins the dance group. And so on, at 1 A.M., everything is set: The band team, the effects team, and the Dance Team.

Many people have gathered to see and enjoy Class 1-A's show, although some of them, like Tsutsutaka and Chikuchi, are skeptical over how a musical performance can really be that good and worthy of so much focus. The show begins promptly at 10:00 AM as the curtains open to show Class 1-A. Eri and Mirio are in the audience and see Izuku on stage. After a flashy introduction, Class 1-A begins their musical performance and manages to pump the audience with their singing and dancing. Everyone is pleasantly surprised by the electrifying show, even the U.A. upperclassmen who showed up simply to criticize them are unable to hide their enjoyment and start cheering and dancing with everyone else. As the rest of the audience cheer on, Kyoka thinks back to when she told her parents that she wants to be a hero instead of pursuing music full-time like them. Her parents were very accepting of her decision and told her to just do what she wants. The performance is so lively that it finally made Eri smile. Slowly, Overhaul's grip on Eri's psyche fades from her consciousness as she enjoys the musical. Mirio cries tears of joy to see Eri finally being able to smile. The show ends with applause and a great ovation from the audience.

Tartarus Escapees Arc
Kyoka thinks about Shoto's words about the evacuees not having a full change of heart yet, dragging Denki, Momo, Fumikage and then Katsuki closer to her, stating that just like the last time there were other people that regarded them with apprehension, they need to do something to reassure them and bring smiles to their faces, just like they did at the School Festival. Class 1-A comes back together, as they declare they won’t just bring the world back to how it was, but to make it a better place than before, and do it all together.

Fanon
UA School Festival Arc is one of the most memorable arc throughout My Hero Academia, making this ship have a decent amount of fans. But this ship rarely have works since... it's just a band. UA School Festival Arc isn't as memorable as the Remedial Course Arc.
