Shinsou is destined to replace the traitor after they break cover provided the school isn't just fine with having 21 kids in the class.

That implies that they know the traitor's identity. Though I would be surprised if they didn't at this point considering the array of quirks at the teacher's disposal. Hell, just a some quick interviews with Tsukauchi should have been enough to get a positive line considering his quirk is Human Lie Detector.

Have they ever said that they won't put another kid in the class?

It was implied by Shinsou during the tournament arc, he said that if he performed well enough then he could move into the hero course and one of them would be dropped to make room for him.

I think he also said something about reshuffling the classes in the second year, so maybe we might get some people switched from Class A and B

Shinsou is going to asked all of the students "Are you the traitor?" and then replace whoever it is.

nah, there's still the spring term to get through. we're about two thirds of the way through the year

it's pretty crazy that the whole series has happened in the course of about a year and three quarters

Seems a bit crap for UA to demote a student just because someone in the support class qualifies to come up.

While it's almost certainly Sato or Koda getting the boot, having it be one of the more visible classmates would make for some interesting drama too. Sorry, Ashido fans. :unsmigghh:

Horikoshi did say that Mina's story is one he was looking forward to doing the most, and there have been some weird inconsistencies with her. I could see her getting bounced from UA if only temporarily.

Where did Deku say he just barely passed the _written_ part? All Might says "You did fine on the written test" in Chapter 4.

Where'd you see he didn't do well on the written?

That seems odd, considering the three people who beat his grade on the first term finals were:

Momo (Supergenius)
Iida (breathes homework)
and Bakugo (not as smart as Momo, not quite as dedicated as Iida, but pretty close to both when he gets going)

Deku's pretty drat good at his studies. Meanwhile, his self-assessments... are more negative.

Chapter 4:

Deku thinks "By my own calculations, I barely made the written test"

So you're going to value Deku's (low self-esteem) guess rather than what All Might said in the same chapter as someone who actually knows what Deku scored?

Combined with the supportive evidence that Midoriya is a top scorer in written tests of 1-A, I think it's safe to say that he did fine in the written part of the entrance test.

All Might never says how well Deku did, just that he passed. Deku's guess doesn't get directly contradicted. It's also possible he was focusing more on his physical training than his mental.

Is it stated outright that she had no internship offers? I certainly don't remember that. I think it's just something that didn't get mentioned

Also, she is just bad at tests and classwork--she's definitely pretty good at actual heroics.

You don't say a person "did fine" if they "barely passed". You're completely reading something into this that isn't there and doesn't match logically with what we know about Deku. There's never been any indication that Deku would be bad at written exams.

"Did fine" could mean just about anything, but whatever.

"Did fine" also isn't "nailed it," which one would assume he would need to do to get into one of the other classes given how competitive it is. That's the point I was making before you got weirdly confrontational about this.

Just so I understand what you're trying to say: if Deku failed, he outright wasn't going to get in UA; if he did good but not good enough, he would have ended up in general. Is that right?

Except "nailed it" isn't a phrase All Might would use in this kind of context, or that, frankly, would probably apply to the test.

This is the entrance exam for UA, the most prestigious school in Japan. It's going to be scaled so that nobody, or almost nobody, can ace it. Standard school tests are meant to be passed, but considering the crop and the filtering needs, the entrance exam is probably scaled so that people like Momo or Nedzu won't get 100 percent. A year with an especially gifted crop of students is going to have higher expectations, a year with more people like Denki is going to have lower, because the point is to find the best students who seem to have what it takes, not to hit a target number. (I'm thinking of the all Japan student tests that came up in GTO, where only one person managed a perfect in the entire country.)

Assuming that's the case, Deku probably did his mental checks, figured he got somewhere in the 70s or 80s (estimating lower than he got, because his self-esteem at that point was not exactly what you would call high), and that it was A Barely Passing Grade, because he was evaluating it like a regular test. Meanwhile, by the school's metrics, he did pretty drat good, because they didn't expect 90 plus from anyone.
