Then, he saw Mina Ashido bravely trick a villain into turning him in, and it changed Eijiro's life.

Not even Stain's attack could keep them apart for long

This is the best family bonding in all of Class 1-A, even though the anime almost never shows it. Tsuyu Asui and Shoto Todoroki both get along well with their brothers and sisters, but the bond between the Iida siblings is something entirely different. Tensei, the older brother by several years, became a pro hero called Ingenium, making good use of the Engine Quirk that he and Tenya both had.

Unfortunately, Stain, the hero assassin, attacked and nearly killed Tensei, forcing him to retreat early. This horrified Tenya, who ran off to get revenge.

The best relationship in class 1-A is definitely the friendship between Deku and Ochaco Uraraka. Indeed, Ochaco was the first UA candidate to welcome Deku to that school, while the likes of Tenya Iida and Yuga Aoyama ignored him. Ochaco's passion for Deku only grew from there, with Ochaco looking up to him as a role model to emulate.
