My Hero Academia 103 Review: Hunger Games

Boku no Hero Academia, Chapter 103: The Test


Bit of a setup here where the 1400+ heroes that are applying for the license are literally dropped into a Hunger Games arena with an insane set of terrain, and are told to hit each other with balls that can impact on certain sensors placed on their body. It's like the island exam on Hunter x Hunter too, where only the best can survive and they have to eliminate each other. Midoriya and Aizawa note how this will cause the other schools to target Yuuei because, well, Yuuei's strengths and weaknesses are still fresh in everyone's mind, whereas the others are basically just unknowns. Only 100 people can pass, and I honestly doubt any major 1A characters will fail... though the Yuuei fanboy last chapter and this weird smiley-face dude we meet here from other schools might actually give a fair bit of a challenge. We get a cool shot of Team Midoriya unleashing their powers against the barrage of thrown balls.

We also meet a new character, Ms. Smile or whoever, who is Aizawa's old friend who keeps making jokes about marriage and whatever. Her quirk is to sap people's powers if she can make her laugh or something? She would hang out nicely with the Joker, I think.

Nothing really much to say about this one, really. And considering Bleach had the shittiest finale and One Piece was underwhelming, this is kinda chapter of the week? Huh.
