I think they meant the qualifier.

Oh yea, that actually makes more sense. I would have assumed she passed only on rescue points, but only Deku managed that.



I actually have no clue, somehow it looks like she managed to take out SOME villains. Invisibility hijinks I guess.

Maybe she can turn certain materials invisible with her? If she had a weapon of some sort it wouldn't be too hard to disable robots after sneaking up on them.

Right? There has to be some gimmick there we don't know about. Maybe she's secretly a giant UFC bodybuilder.

Well, they did say you could take WHATEVER you wanted into the qualifier with you. Maybe she's handy with traps.

EDIT: Or, no one noticed that she didn't pass and she just appeared in homeroom.

The thing is it looks like she can only make herself invisible. So the robots would see traps floating around and know where she is.

I would assume that all of the robots worth points were human-killable. Otherwise, it'd be pretty unfair to heroes with defensive or support powers. With that in mind, being invisible would be pretty useful.

I think with regard to the entrance exam we just kind of have to suspend disbelief a little because a lot of the powers at play here don't seems like they'd bee to useful against robots.

Something I realized earlier, but Uraraka idolizing No. 13 may have been foreshadowed in her costume; it looks pretty space-y, like a futuristic space suit or something from a sci-fi anime, and 13 is, well, an astronaut. Between his personality and them both having sort of space-y powers as well (zero gravity and black holes respectively), her looking up to him really makes sense, too.

Also, man. I love hands dude's design; he's really super creepy. While the hands on his face are the most notable, the ones all over the rest of him are interesting too; the ones on his arms are in positions suggesting someone grabbing him or him having his arms folded, and the ones on his shoulders amusingly look almost like they're giving him a massage. And then there's the ones on his neck, which almost appear to be strangling him and push the creepy up another few notches. I really wonder what his deal is; given that he seems to be the leader of these guys (he's always the one talking and gets the most focus, and is the one who gets the weird, unique font) and is implied to have been the one to have destroyed the gate, he must have a serious quirk beyond just having a lot of hands.

Both 13 and Uraraka have quirks that are great for rescuing people :)

I just want to know if one of them is Venomous Chainsaw, the dude who hurt All Might 5 years ago, because (a) that is one seriously cool name and conjures up some great imagery and (b) how nuts does he have to be to take on All Might and not only fight him solo, but rip out his stomach and gently caress him up permanently in the process?

To the man who loves art for its own sake, it is frequently in its least important and lowliest manifestations that the keenest pleasure is to be derived.
So because of the Square-Cube Law and how it relates to Spiders and Spider-Man, does Frog-Girl just have a moderate, but not significant, boost in strength and stamina? I hope the answer is yes. Or hell, just give her spidey-strength boost. Who cares.

Oh, yeah, while hand dude is still my favorite villain, between his design and just how ridiculously malicious he is, the super-polite void man is pretty great too.

And Tsuyu is still the best. Though, those are some interesting groups they've been broken up into; funnily enough, the larger the group the more terrified its members seem. The group of four against the void guy has at least half its number looking scared, and of the Deku-Tsuyu-Mineda group only Tsuyu seems completely composed, while fire-and-ice dude is not only alone against some villains but perfectly calm, he seems to be winning because he's just completely ridiculous.

Assuming good writing (ah who am I kidding, of course it is) that's probably because it's the best split for narrative reasons. All the villains are assumed to be equivalently powerful in the eyes of the reader, while the heroes are assumed to have a currently unknown hierarchy in power. By extension, the weaker members (as of the moment) will have to use numbers to defeat the enemy that only takes one fire//ice dude to handle. From there, it's obvious that the weaker members will be less confident and more frightened of the opposition, while the stronger members will be a lot more confident.

I hope this is accurate because it then follows that Tsuyu is one of the strongest in the group.

Why would you assume that? Voidman seems to be much stronger than other villains in the group (excluding their leader of course). I doubt other villains are equal as well. Though those which will be of no importance (aka fodders) are probably on the same level, just like any numerous group of characters who aren't relevant enough to get a name.
