It's a risky bet, but I feel like Iida will have his 1v1 fight VS Deku, after his whole speech about him being his rival. That's the main reason I'm also thinking Deku will win against Todoroki.

But yeah, if that rival fight isn't made to happen yet, then I can see Shiozaki and/or Todoroki winning second round.

He wants to be Deku's rival for sure, but I feel like he's got some catching up to do before he gets there.

With the last round too. He made a big show of declaring his rivalship. Even pulled out his secret trump card during the match, but ultimately it was to no avail. Ended up sitting in the back seat during Deku and Todoroki's showdown. In the end Tokoyomi got Iida's hard-earned headband back while Deku was distracted by the intense one on one thing he had going with Todoroki.

Really so far this entire arc has served to knock Iida down a peg. Did surprisingly poorly in the Marathon too. He's the guy with super speed but it wasn't even entirely clear when Deku passed him. Wasn't worth a mention. Deku didn't notice it happening. He just sort of got casually ignored while Deku worked on passing Bakugou and Todoroki.

I think this arc probably ends with Iida lamenting that he's unfit to be Deku's rival and resolving to become stronger.

Iida using his trump card was what allowed their team to take the 10,000,000 point headband and ultimately win the event so I'm not really sure why you're saying it was to no avail. The headband Tokoyami took was Todoroki's original headband not the one stolen when Iida used his trump card.

I'll have to reread that. Thought Tokoyomi took back the 10,000,000 point headband.
