In My Hero Academia season 6 episode 24, A Young Woman's Declaration, viewers saw Principal Nezu reveal how he enhanced the security system of U.A. High. In the event of an emergency, the school would be divided into sections that would follow a random path in an underground network. But, U.A. High's security proved insufficient to persuade the refugees to allow Deku to stay at the institution. The attempts at persuasion by Current Mic and Best Jeanist made it worse.

So, Ochaco stepped up for Deku, asking everyone to realize that, despite having exceptional powers, he was not special and had instead pushed his body to its limits. She stated that he was just a high school kid who needed to rest. Following her speech, the residents agreed to allow Midoriya to return to U.A.
