History Recap / MyHeroAcademiaS2E21GearupForFinalExams

* HiddenDepths: Dispite being a colassal and unrepentant pervert, Mineta is revealed to be #9 in the school lidterms ranking, implying that he is smarter than he appears.

* PowerLimiter: To avoid causing accidental injuries, and give the students a handicap, the teachers are required to wear weighted bracelets. All Might has to wear additional ones given his own power.

* InstantWinCondition: The students are given two ways to pass. The first involves handcuffing the ThresholdGuardians by any means necessary. If they can't do that, then they can pass by reaching the exit in the given course.
* ThresholdGuardians: Kaminari and Ashido assume that the class will face robots from the entrance exam. However, the UA faculty decides to change things a bit. Instead, they become adversaries for the students in hopes of them overcoming their foils and weaknesses.

* BroadStrokes: In the manga, all of the students face the teachers at the same time, and Recovery Girl is situated in a temporary first aid tent. In the anime, the adaptation messes around with the sequence of events to the advantage of its format. The tests take place in order of one through ten, with the most climactic fight (with Izuku and Bakugo vs. All Might) obviously at the end. Recovery Girl is also situated in a more upscale location to monitor the events and perform first aid, and instead of being out on the field, Izuku and Ochaco are watching the tests to observe, learn, and strategize from what their classmates fail/succeed at doing, and are here together because their training partners won't communicate with them (and because it gives an excuse to [[ShipTease tease]] [[FanNickname Midoraka]]). It's also a lot more like the Battle Trial Arc in this respect. Functionally, the story is still the same, just modified to be more convenient for a different format.

* InstantWinCondition: The students are given two ways to pass. The first involves hand cuffing them by any means necessary. If they can't do that, then they can pass by reaching the exit in the course.

* ThresholdGuardians: Kaminari and Ashido assumes that the practical exams will invole robots like in the entrance exams. However, the UA faculty decides to change things up by making themselves adversaries for the students, in hopes that they can overcome any foils and weaknesses laid before them.

* InnocentlyInsensitive: Iida and Midoriya give [[BookDumb Kaminari and Ashido]] encouraging words for the written exams, and Todoroki tells them that it's hard to fail if they listen in class. Of course, these three are all in the class's top five, which is just rubbing salt in the wound. Yaoyorozu invites them over to her house for a study session, and quickly becomes this trope for [[SpoiledSweet an entirely different reason]].

* AdaptationExpansion: In the anime, each student vs. teacher match goes one team at a time while the others wait and prepare strategies, unlike in the manga where all ten fights are ongoing at the same time. This gives the earlier matches a bigger disadvantage, but it does allow the anime to focus on each match instead of flipping around like the manga did (thus, fights which happened offscreen in the manga such as Iida/Ojiro vs. Power Loader are shown). As a result, Midoriya doesn't watch the others after his match; instead, he is joined by Uraraka. Also, the anime devotes a bit more time to showing how the students prepared for the written exam.
