My Hero Academia, Chapter 113: After the Exam
So, yeah, it appears that Inasa didn't pass this stage of the test, and neither did Todoroki. Which makes sense! A lesser manga might have the examiners go 'they fucked up, but it was all fine in the end because they learned their lesson', but not so for My Hero Academia. Yes, Gang Orca was impressed by the fire-whirlwind that trapped him and forced him to drench himself with a bottle of water, and apparently he 'could've gotten hurt' if the battle had gone on for longer (though he was wearing power suppression bracelets). Yes, Midoriya and the other examinees ended up defeating the Orca gangsters. But it doesn't preclude the fact that Todoroki and Inasa very much fucked up and nearly gotten, well, each other, other heroes (Shindou, if Midoriya hadn't shown up) and potentially the entire group of rescuees.
It's cool to see Midoriya leading the other 1A students in fighting the Orca mooks, seeing Ojirou of all people be useful with his giant tail. That shot of Ashido and Tokoyami just bursting through a group of enemies is a very cool shot, too. Tsuyu apparently can camouflage herself now, a new power that's related to her 'frogginess'. And Mr. Hairy Bigfoot from Shiketsu High's powers are what you expect from a walking lump of hair -- hair tendrils.
Gang Orca breaks through the fire whirlwind, and his roaring face is absolutely fucking cool. Midoriya charges in and gets a kick in (which Gang Orca still tanks) but the exam is over, and, well, at least they survived. Gang Orca is all like 'well, I might be in some trouble if this dragged on' in his monologue, but you're not fooling me. You're awesome.
The announcement is done a short while later, and we get explicit confirmation that Midoriya (and Mineta, and Momo) passed, but Inasa is not on the list, and while we don't get the confirmation, Todoroki seems to have flunked too.
