Synopsis#
U.A. Sports Festival Arc#
Emi is among one of the many spectators who attended the U.A. Sports Festival. After the match between Izuku Midoriya and Hitoshi Shinso, she talks with a fellow hero on the usefulness of Hitoshi's Quirk against villains, and commenting how the U.A. High School placed Hitoshi in General Studies.[2]
Provisional Hero License Exam Arc#
On the day of the Provisional Hero License Exam, Emi excitedly walks up to Class 1-A and Shota, having apparently met him before. Shota recognizes her, though he is less than excited to see her. Emi then reveals to Class 1-A that she and Shota used to work together as partners, even claiming that the two of them had feelings for each other but Shota denies the latter claim. She then calls her class over to meet Class 1-A, revealing that she teaches second-year students at Ketsubutsu Academy High School.
While Emi's class appears excited to meet U.A. High School students, some of them, namely Yo Shindo, appear to have ulterior motives. Emi instructs her class to get ready for the exam and change into their costumes. As the students were getting changed, she asks Shota if he told his class about what happens to U.A. students every year at the Provisional Hero License Exam and he responds that he did not.
After that, Emi and Shota are seen sitting together on the bleachers of the Exam area, watching their respective students as the exam unfold, with Emi attempting to flirt with and tease Shota throughout the entire event. She comments on how every year, all the other schools gang up against U.A. students, though Shota insists that this does not matter. Emi notices that Shota's students were not fazed by the repeated attacks and overcame it. She continues to talk while remarking he hasn't expelled any of his pupils at that point, and asks him if he is particularly fond of this year's class. While Shota replies that he is not, Emi does not seem convinced by his answer.[1]
As the first exam progresses, and the number of participants remaining to pass it is announced. Shota says it's frustrating he can't tell who pass and fails the exam. Ms. Joke wonders why he is worried. Shota explains that he is not worried but has high expectations on his class.[3] Emi is happy when she sees that her students passed the first exam.[4]
When the second exam, which consists of rescue operations, takes place, Emi cannot hide her surprise when she sees that Gang Orca and his Sidekicks act as enemies for the students.[5] After the exam concludes with a substantial portion of both Emi's and Shota's classes passing, Emi suggests that they carry out joint training with both classes in the future and Shota agrees.[6]

By the end of March, thanks to the police's investigations and the information leaked by Hawks, who was acting as a spy, the Hero Public Safety Commission organize the Heroes and the Police Force to take down the Paranormal Liberation Front. Emi is part of a large force of heroes in charge of raiding the Gunga Mountain Villa, the headquarters of the Paranormal Liberation Front.[7][8]
When the signal is given, the heroes begin the assault on the Gunga Mountain Villa, catching the PLF members off guard, allowing the heroes to defeat large numbers of them before they can mount a proper defense.[9]
Final War Arc#
In preparation for the Final War, the remaining Heroes prepare themselves for an all-out-war against an army of villains led by All For One. When Skeptic successfully takes control of both U.A.'s main system in the U.A. Floating Fortress and its subterranean evacuation system, he was preparing to cause the floating U.A. in the sky to plummet toward the ground. However, he is caught completely off guard when his systems have been hijacked by La Brava, working alongside the Police Force.[10]
As she proceeds to take over everything, Skeptic prepares to flee, insisting he won't relinquish control over U.A. or the evacuation system, taking the data with himself and the puppets. However, outside the Villains' secret hideout, Skeptic is cornered by several Heroes, including Ms. Joke and her Ketsubutsu Academy students, who had the hideout surrounded, as they were given a heads-up on his location by La Brava and were in the area.[11] Skeptic is apprehended and arrested, and Ms. Joke accompanies Hound Dog and her students as they transport him away.[12]
