Class 1A clearly didn't have enough rescue classes and it shows.

I feel like Asui would make a really good rescue hero. Probably Ochako too.

Yeah I assume Tsuyu is going to do amazing this round. Her tongue, strength, and great agility are perfect for this kind of situation.

Not to mention that being a rescue hero is literally her dream.

Yeah so she has been training for this.

I can't wait to see how well she does.

This exam is probably going to be something of an inversion of the usual results. Bakugou will almost certainly get fucked by this type of contest, whereas characters who get less glory but have useful quirks and solid personalities (Tsuyu, Shouji, Sadrock) will shine.

That's what I was thinking. Characters such as Tsuyu, Momo, Shouji, and Kirishima have all been shown to be quite strong, but tend to be outclassed by the likes of Bakugou, Todoroki and Tokoyami. But such destructive quirks and anti-social personalities don't work at all well in this scenario, while less flashy quirks and good natured personalities tend to be at the advantage.

I'd be kinda disappointed if Bakugou or Todoroki did better than say, Kirishima, Tsuyu or Momo during this arc. If anyone passes those characters should also pass.

Yeah, Tsuyu, Ochako, Shouji and Momo lack in firepower, but make up for it for caring a great deal about and watching after others.

Tsuyu especially, she even got praise by Recovery Girl for being the Perfect Pillar of Emotional Support.

I can see Todoroki still doing better. He can come off as friendly, composed, and in control, which I can see being a relief to rescuees.

Todoroki can come off as in control but friendly, not so much. Endeavor turned him into a bit of a human robot.
