----------------------------------------
It's cool to see Todoroki in action again after the filler episode. Inasa also talks about his hate for him and Endeavor.

The action was intense and picked up more momentum as Deku and Todoroki tried to make a comeback against Gang Orca. There's still a lot on his mind but the way he fought literally showed a burning passion to succeed. Quite an emotional episode of personal feelings.

Not really worried about Midoryia passing, but, if they are only deducting point, I don't really know about Todoroki/wind guy and Bakugou...

I'm glad the exam is over now, but that fire tornado really had stunning visuals.

Fells like an eternity since we had such a good episode. MHA is back.

We saw why Inasa resents both Endeavor and Todoroki. Their bad cooperation must have costed lots of points and even when they tried to make up for it, it doesn't seem to be enough. It seems that Midoriya found his own name on the list. Great episode this week and I really liked Gang Orca playing the villain.

The conflict between Inasa and Todoroki in this episode will definitely cause them to not pass. Bakugo's attitude alone is enough to prevent him from passing as well.

This episode killed it with the action, visuals, and OST. Great stuff, as usual, from this show.

Thank God Todoroki has developed, at least a little bit, from what he was early on because seeing how he acted back then is so fucking annoying lol

Also this episode was very fucking good

Great episode, Bones keeps doing a superb job with the quality of this adaptation. I wasn't really a fan of this part in the manga, since I was disappointed by Inadas backround story, but I was still able to thoroughly enjoy it here.

Probably the best episode of this lackluster arc. Nice fight against Gang Orca (who is a badass) and good teamwork towards the end. I'm not worried about Deku, I'm sure he would pass, just that the anime ended the episode in cliffhanger to make people wonder if he will pass or not.

The firestorm of Todoroki and Inasa was cool, but they don't deserve to pass after such childlish arguement (Inasa's reason to dislike Todoroki surprised me as well, since I thought his dislike for Endevour would be something more serious, but I can understand him). If that would had been a real life scenario, they would had been screwed themselves and the rest. Same to Bakugou, lmao.

Inasa's character is horrible. There's no deeper connection. He's just a lame fanboy.

To be honest, this episode did make me like Inasa less than I did before. I do understand why he would hate Endevour and I would be the same as him if that happened to me at that age while trying to get his autograph. However, he hated Todoroki for having that same look as his father as well as his attitude. Not once did he even ask why Todoroki why he was acting like that at all. It just makes his hatred for Todoroki to be rather petty.

Either way, their childish squabbling gave Gang Orca's group a golden ticket to screw the two of them up, but despite that, Todoroki and Inasa teamed up, at last, with an incredible fiery tornado. This part of the episode was where the animation, visuals and soundtrack were at their best. Pleasant stuff! =3

So now we have to wait another week to find out who passed and who didn't. After their stupid arguing, I doubt Todoroki and Inasa will pass at all. Bakugo might either miss out or pass by barely a whisker. I'm sure that Midoriya will pass. =)

Great episode overall.

If I managed to get it correctly, there were 89 names on the screen. So only 11 of 100 didn't pass the exam? I wonder if Todoroki, Inasa or Kacchan passed.

The episode was very good. Especially the moment when Todoroki and Inasa work up together, the animation was so good. And the thick black lines on their faces remembered me of Season 2 Episode 10 before of the clash between Deku and Todoroki when they have the same visual art on their faces. I don't know why this show is getting hate recently. Just because it was more like a chill arc doesn't mean it was bad.
And the flashbacks of Inasa were good, not great but very good. What I love of MHA that has many moments that in paper will be silly and corny. But they end up much better than expected. Excited for the next ep.

Another amazing episode. The exam is over, so the next 4 episodes will be awesome. I think they might skip Chapter 115 next episode and adapt it in episode 24 or 25, seeing as the preview showed scenes of chapter 117 (this one ended with 113).

Fantastic episode.

The art, animation and soundtrack this episode was pure awesome. I loved that initial transition where Deku is just looking around and then Todoroki's ice hits with Hero A beginning to play, so good. XD

The action was great as expected of Bones, the fire wind vortex was amazing and damn the art in those scenes was stunning.

Deku's gonna pass, we know it but yeah Todoroki, Inasa and Bakugou probably won't.

Anyway onto the next portion of the arc.

I agree with some people here that this arc was a bit dull in comparison to other arcs but well, it had its moments.

Todoroki and Inasa childish fight was quite stupid yes, but considering the high demand regarding to heroes I could see this happening even with the pros. (now I'm wondering how did Endeavor reach number 2)

Yeah because pro heroes never had any drama with other heroes. Smh

Couldn't take the Inasa/Todoroki conflict seriously at all and as usual the show was being overdramatic. Both of them will definitely fail, but it doesn't really mean anything since they can just take it again as 2/3 years.

I remember this part from the manga, I was pissed at both Todoroki Shoto and Yoarashi, more on Todoroki. Even though he's my favorite character right next to Deku. He was so prideful that his flames almost burnt Shindo. He even pissed off Deku, who makes a lot of mistakes and fucks up a lot too, by doing that.

He has some personality traits just like his old man, as much as he hates him and as much of an asshole Endeavor is and yes I know how Endeavor changes later on since I'm updated on the manga, he has his own character flaws too. I felt sorry for Yoarashi when he was a kid because he was pushed aside by Endeavor even though he looked up to him. Todoroki wants to be different from his old man but he can be just as arrogant. They did work together at the end but the exam ended before we could see what would've been the result, based on what Gang Orca said, they could have possibly defeated him if it had gone on longer.

I'm proud of Froppy for learning her camouflage technique.

I already know who passed and didn't pass but I'm going to watch some youtubers react next week to see the expression on their faces when some fan favorites fail.

I'm excited for the meeting between Bakugou and Deku next week too.

4:30 minutes of recap, what is this One Piece?
I really hope Bones doesn't go to the same route as Toei or Studio Pierrot, specially it's a seasonal anime which makes it worse and inexcusable.
Finally the worst arc in BHA is over and Bones didn't help it with their unnecessary fillers and drag out. Can't wait for the next few episodes and next season.

Most shounen shows that air early in the morning have recaps because they are aimed at a younger audience (even though western weboos act like they are mature sometimes.

Being a seasonal show won't make the worst arc in the manga any better since the manga follows the same pattern with arcs all the time. Hype villians arc, school SOL /training, hype villians arc, school SOL/training.etc

And the next arc will be even worse

The pacing in this episode felt weird, especially with the flash backs cutting into the fight.

And from the preview, it looks like next week is doing things a bi tout of order too. This second half really hasn't been the best HeroAca has to show.
