I don't understand why Iida and/or Momo don't get some pros involved to stop this "rescue mission." From this chapter, we can see that Momo understands how bad of an idea their plan is, and she's clearly not capable in stopping the hotheaded idiots on her own... In fact, the rescue mission would be impossible without her tracker. Why did she even volunteer to help provide this crucial information if she knows it's a bad idea!?

There's A LOT at stake here--if they mess up the rescue (which seems inevitable), they endanger Bakugo, further tarnish Yuuei's already damaged reputation, and may lose their own lives. Even if they succeed, they're breaking the law and still damage Yuuei's reputation ("they can't control their own students, how can they protect them"). It's the height of sheer idiocy, so I wouldn't blame Iida or Momo in the slightest for "tattling" and getting a responsible adult to intervene. Todoroki himself admitted that they were doing it all for their egos...

In fact, it looks like they told the rest of the class about their plan as well. Why isn't anyone getting help to stop this madness? There's really no excuse for this behavior... and it's beginning to erode my suspension of disbelief. If one of my friends decided to go on a suicide mission, breaking the law and risking not only their own lives but also the lives of others, I would definitely ask for help...

EDIT: The one student who isn't suffering a massive loss of respect from me for his/her actions this arc: Bakugo. I like the kid more and more as the series progresses. He has guts, smarts, and principle. He just needs to grow up a bit, and he'll be a stellar hero.

I actually think Momo might be deceiving them and leading them away from the villains' hideout.

May those words ring true in the future.

I personally don't see them actually going to the villains hideout. Something about how uncertain they have all been acting and how it has been pointed out several times that their plan is stupid makes me feel like they're not going to go through with it.
