I like the pacing and progress, especially with multiple POVs expanding our view of the exam. That IQ Quirk might be the best for me, while Seiji’s might be the worst, lol. Why did it remind me of Made in Abyss?

The title fits this episode so well! Not a lot of Class 1-A was shown, but it still had a strong impact—especially that scene with Yaoyorozu and the others.

Episode Context

The Provisional Hero License Exam shifts into high gear as Class 1-A faces mounting pressure from rival schools and increasingly difficult challenges. This episode thrives on tactical tension, expect quick decision-making, adaptive strategies, and the kind of team coordination that separates aspiring heroes from the pack. Todoroki and Yaoyorozu step into the spotlight, demonstrating how far they've come since the season's brutal opening arcs. The pacing is tight and purposeful, balancing sharp bursts of action with meaningful character beats that reinforce the class's evolving group dynamics. Bones delivers clean, energetic animation that keeps the exam sequences visually engaging without relying on spectacle alone. It's a confident mid-exam episode that rewards viewers who've been tracking each student's individual growth throughout the season.
