In Episode 16, titled ‘Long Time No See, Selkie,’ Selkie’s crew teamed up with Ryukyu’s agency and tracked down the ship smuggling the drug Trigger.
Earlier in the episode, Selkie contacted Ryukyu to team up against the smugglers that were roaming around the ocean.
Ryukyu and Nejire flew off in the sky to search for the ship while Selkie and Froppy dived into the sea. On the other hand, Ochaco and Sirius kept contact with both the teams and directed them to different search points.
Selkie managed to find the ship, but the smugglers tried to escape by plane. However, Ochaco flew off in the sky and got on board. She defeated the smuggler, therefore completing the mission.
We bring you the latest episode updates for this anime.
Episode 17 Preview & Speculation
It’s unclear why Selkie teamed up with Ryukyu’s agency if he could have dived into the water in the first place.
Many fans also theorize that episode 16 was to promote the new My Hero Academia movie since the main villain of the movie appeared in the end.
In the next episode’s preview, Endeavor invites Izuku and Bakugou to his home at dinner, where they meet Todoroki’s elder sister and brother.
The episode’s title is ‘The Hellish Todoroki Family,’ which indicates that nothing is well between the Todoroki family members. Why Shoto doesn’t like his father and what did Endeavor do to Shoto’s mother will be revealed in the next episode.

Episode 16 Recap
Izuku, Bakugou and Todoroki finish their first day of work-study with Endeavor. On the other hand, at Ryukyu’s agency, Ochaco, Tsuyu and Nejire watch a news report about the forest fire in Kaflin caused by the explosion of an illegal Trigger factory going down.
Nejire explains that Trigger is a Quirk-boosting drug-like Booster. One of the workers adds that the rumor has it that the chemicals used to make Trigger were stolen before the explosion.
Meanwhile, Selkie pursues a ship in the ocean with his crew. Suddenly, a man comes out of the enemy ship and takes a Trigger dose, creating a smokescreen around the ship to help them escape. Selkie realizes the need for more fighters and decides to team up with Ryukyu.
Ryukyu and her interns meet with Selkie and his crew at the port. Meanwhile, the smuggler’s ship hides in a cave and waits for the day to end, so they can move again.
After the sun sets, Ochaco and Tsuyu join Selkie on his ship, Oki Mariner, while Ryukyu and Nejire head to search from the sky. From Oki Mariner, Selkie and Tsuyu dive into the water. Meanwhile, Ochaco and Sirius tell different searching points to Ryukyu and Selkie.
After searching for a while, Selkie finds the ship and informs his crew. Unfortunately, when Ryukyu reaches the location, one of the smugglers injects himself with Trigger, creating a smokescreen. However, Selkie reaches there just in time and boards their ship.
While he takes control of the ship, Ryukyu notices a cargo plane carrying the chemicals, trying to escape from behind the ship. Ryukyu follows the plane, and Sirius fires a harpoon carrying Ochaco in the sky. However, Ochaco manages to reach the plane and defeats the captain.
After struggling to control the plane, she uses her quirk to make the plane weightless and slow down its speed. Then to celebrate the mission’s success, the girls enjoy the rest of the day at the beach.
In the post-credit scene, a mysterious man hears about the news of the heroes capturing their delivery and declares the ‘salvation of humanity.’
