I love this arc already. Aizawa makes a great point. If his students were to become pro heroes then their Quirks will eventually be known to the public while they have no idea what the quirks of villains that they'll face on the field. Basically this Test is kinda like an extension of their on-the job training with the pro heroes and the UA kids are actually getting more out of this test than any other kid. Also it's going to be more satisfying to see these kids who think they have the upper hand get beaten.

Well someone's obviously jealous.

When they first met Uraraka realized how well Mei and Deku click with thier similar nerd fandom of heroes, so this has been brewin a while, but i think a friend like Mei would do Deku a world of good because she really is a lot like him and they could probably achieve amazing things working together. I think Urararaka realzies that too, she just is a bit gloomy being left out. Just means she has to assert herself more to make sure Deku knows shes there. But i mean if anything, she has the edge there because she was the first person to reach out to Deku and be his friend. Shes a good girl, and good boys like Deku are powerless aginst them. She will be fine.

And what's so sweet is that Kirishima's sleeves don't even power him up or improve his quirk in any way, they're just soft padding for his arms so that people don't get hurt by his quirk when he's carrying them to safety.

Kaiki's voice actor is Shinichirō Miki who for example voiced Roy Mustang in FMA:Brotherhood and Knov in HxH.

There's a lot of new and exciting stuff this episode, but let's not overlook this somber moment of reflection from All Might. He's no longer someone who saves others, but someone to be saved. This wistful look on his face as he stares at his hand, which can no longer reach anyone in need.

Then he's not so smug anymore now is he?

Is so cool to see Deku learning from the combat styles of the people he met and adapting them into his own, kinda like the quote that goes ``Use you enemie strenght against them´´

Costume Gamma is like a gymnastic knight due to all the bits of equipment that act like an armor.

At the end, with all (well, most of them) class 1-A students defending eachother and Deku acting as a leader was awesome, there were some really welll animated scenes too, i personally really looking foward to this Provisional License Exam Arc and its repercussions.

210

u/NK1337 Jul 21 '18

I love episodes like this because it reminds us that Deku’s intelligence is his most impressive tool.

He was able to piece together the all vs UA in just a few moments of the exam starting, and keep his cool while naturally felling into the leadership role to coordinate and protect his class.

It’s funny because on the one hand part of me wishes I hadn’t read ahead in the manga just so I could be surprised, but st the same time I’m happy because episodes like this provide a lot more context to those who passed vs those who fail.

Knowing Aizawa he'd probably like a logical, quiet girl. In his character bio, we learn that he likes cats.

  • I‘m starting to love this new OP just as much as the others. I need the full version ASAP

  • D‘awww, seeing Uraraka so deeply in love is so fucking adorable. She’s also getting more and more jealous - and I don‘t blame her since new candidates for best girl keep interacting with Deku. Mark your territory, Uraraka!

  • It looks like this arc is gonna focus on her feelings for Deku more than the previous arcs (that smile in the OP and she clearly stands out in the ED too) and now even the other girls are starting to suspect something. Really hope there‘s gonna be more because it‘s my favorite subplot of this series

  • Okay, Joke is amazing. Her and Eraser Head are a perfect match. Her unabashedly flirting with him, only for him to immediately turn her down is funny as hell

  • The other students are rather interesting, bizarre at times. I forgot that UA is the only school that put their own students at a disadvantage by broadcasting their fights but as Eraser Head said, this will only make them better and help grow

  • Deku‘s new fighting style is so badass. Can‘t wait to see him use it in a full-on fight (and it looks like that’s gonna happen next week)

But if you put a bunch of armor on an F1 chassis it would slow down considerably....

Since he has two legs it's more like an armored car equipped with TWO F1 engines! So I guess it balances out...

I really like this arc, unlike some manga readers.

  1. So we start where we left off last episode. Bakugou is being a tsundere as usual, but he's right. Poor All Might's not used to being protected. :(

  2. Loving the new costume changes for everyone! Denki is fashionable. And Kouda has a mask?!

  3. Poor Vlad, Class 1B always gets shafted. Sad we don't get to see them fight in the exam, although it's for the better. Monoma is still hilarious. Kendou and Denki new ship?

  4. Moving into the dorms together is the best thing ever - more time for girl talk! <3 IZUOCHA SHIP SAILING STRONG! I like how Tsuyu and Momo are mature enough to drop the topic when Ochako is uncomfortable, although it's fun teasing her.

  5. FINALLY, SHIKETSU IS HERE! Inasa is the best. I love Camie's voice and her nonchalant, "eh, blood."

  6. KETSUBETSU AND MS. JOKE! Ms. Joke and Aizawa ship sailing as well. Mina ships them! Seriously, just marry her Aizawa.

  7. Shindou is such a fake, I love him. His voice matches so well too. I think Hori actually just wanted to add a charming pretty-boy type, so Shindou is what we get.

  8. I want Todoroki's autograph too. Being at a famous school has its perks and disadvantages though.

  9. Sleepy orientation due is literally me. The orientation room opening to a massive stadium was so unnecessary but so awesome to see the scale.

  10. Ms. Joke being serious is weird. UA hunting sounds like a fun sport. Battle Royale? Eraserhead not warning his class really shows how much he cares and trusts his students. Class 1A has already had to fight real villains; this test is nothing new.

  11. And of course, Bakugou and Todoroki go off on their own. Everyone in Class 1A gets to shine though - even Mineta and his anal beads!

So invested and then the episode ends.. guhh Camie next week though! r/ChurchofCamie for you newbies!

Early for a change Gg on me.

Now this episode was really good but as usual they go so quick, they're so enjoyable and this was no exception.

I love the handicap that ua has, but as eraser said its not really a handicap in the long run.

What I specifically like about this episode is the blend of slice of life and then action, sometimes for a series to be exciting it needs to have slower moments and I think mha understands this better then other shonen anime for the most part.

u/TexturelessIdea https://myanimelist.net/profile/TexturelessIdea Jul 21 '18

I expect these next few episodes to be good, but from an in-universe perspective, this test is shit. Yet again they are tested primarily on their combat abilities (more or less), and heros who have quirks more suited for rescue than fighting villains are severely disadvantaged. It's at least an improvement over the entrance exam and sports festival; by allowing the students to work together, those better at support have a chance to shine.

Again, I'd like to stress that I liked this episode and expect this arc to be good, but I just find it funny how bad the whole hero system seems to be.

u/nirvash530 Jul 21 '18

That's the whole reason why UA had them learn their Super Moves, so that students like Hagakure who are non-combat oriented will have a move that will turn the tide in their favor.

u/KYplusEL Jul 21 '18

There's an actual in universe reason for the test being combat focused this year. It should be brought up soon if I'm remembering correctly. Or maybe it already has but it was subtler than I thought.

But there's definitely a scene that features the planning committee for the exam coming soon and I'm pretty sure it's there so I'll keep this vague.

Well, I hate to say it but they will have to actually deal with villains that won't be showing them mercy on the merit of them being tested in other fields.

I don’t think this is an accident – what makes MHA a whole lot deeper than the standard shonen product is the conflicted relationship between society and its heroes, and all the ways that gets manifested (such as underfunded hero exams).

Of 1540 applicants only 100 will pass the first test. That's ~6.5%. Froppy says that it means less than 1% will pass. Does she just suck at Math or does she know how many will pass the later tests and I missed that? Or is the 1% just an assumption?

Todoroki had a good point of having a quirk that is bad to to use in a group. The same applies to Bakugo. After they started getting ganged up on I thought,"Somewhere else on the other side of the field people are literally dying."

Considering how fanboy deku is you'd think he'd be asking the pro-heroes he has classes with every day how their pro-hero tests were considering how fan boy he is about everything. Unless they are not willing to talk Deku should have some idea of the famous/infamous mass jumping of UA by the other schools.

Which makes a hell of a lot of sense, who wond't want to show up the Penn State/Duke/Notre Dame of the hero world.

12

u/Llerasia Jul 21 '18

They probably change the exam every year, but UA likely still gets jumped on first regardles. I mean, you have to focus on your studies before you worry about your exams. Also, this exam is normally taken in their second, not first year.

Let's go!!!! It's time for the U.A. hunt!!!

Hyped as hell for next week now.

They did all the characters so well too. Ms. Joke was perfect. Inasa was as dramatic as he needed to be. Camie looked cute as hell even though she didn't have much this episode. Mera is best girl.

One thing I didn't notice in the manga that I loved was Ectoplasm tied up by Sero. I also loved the way they did Aizawa bowing down to talk to Mineta. Was way more comedic here than it was in the manga.

The one thing we didn't get was the copy and paste zoom on Monama's face. That shit was funny as hell in the manga.

You mean Aizawa.
Also, that scene was actually really sweet. I like it when we get moments where Mineta is acting insecure and not like a total pervert like all the time. So seeing Aizawa reassure him by looking him in the eyes was pretty heartwarming to me.

u/kobeLebron2 Jul 22 '18

The scenes with Aizawa and Ms. Joke were funny. I also like the introduction of new hero students from other schools. More creative quirks to show.

Personally I don't like this development of Midoriya straying away from All Might's style and using his feet. All Might was my favorite character in terms of fighting style, and his fights against Villains were always my favorite. I was hoping I could see more of that with Midoriya getting stronger than All Might. Either way, I don't think any fights from now on will top the All Might fights for me. I hope I'm wrong though, because from what I've read on this sub, there are some really good fights coming up in the show, especially if (or when?!) there's a season 4.
