A girl uses a slingshot quirk is able to make them all seek for cover while eliminating Shoji's vision, she then breaks Jiro's gear by hitting her ear. Another girl with ice powers uses the vents to lower the room temperature, incapacitating Tsuyu, whose frog attributes force her to hibernate. Shoji is made to hold her in order to warm her up, being unabel to take further actions.
Yaoyorozu realizes that their enemy wants her to overuse her quirk to stop the vents and instead decides to formulate an attack plan, rather than a defense one, remembering Midoriya's drive to save everyone around him. She creates a huge soundbox and sound cancelers for everyone. Jiro is able to use a supersonic attack that incapacitates everyone of their enemies, and Yaoyorozu team manages to break out of their isolated space, but a weakened Yaoyorozu is soon thrown back and isolated by a vengeful Intelli, who wants to eliminate her, even for sheer pettiness, but Shoji, Jiro and Tsuyu break back in and save Yaoyorozu, forcing Intelli to surrender.

- Batman Gambit: Intelli's three step plan is focused on creating a situation where Yaoyorozu will have to save her group by over-utilizing her quirk, and then be unable to use it later, when they attack. Subverted when Yaoyorozu realizes this, utilizing her quirk to attack rather than defend.

- Did Not See That Coming: Shoji, Jiro, Yaoyorozu and Asui prioritize saving each other over passing the test by themselves. Intelli's plan accounted for the opposite. When she tries to off an isolated Yaoyorozu, she is quickly defeated because her team goes after her before trying to get themselves to pass.
- Evil Counterpart: Saiko Intelli to Yaoyorozu. Both are strategist type high class girls, but Intelli is a much more ruthless enemy. While isolated, the game becomes a battle of wits between Yaoyorozu and Intelli and Intelli loses because she prioritizes winning over her team, while Yaoyorozu does the opposite.
- Filler: The battle between Yaoyorozu's group and Intelli, as well as Intelli's group itself never happened in the manga. Similarly, Todoroki's battle against the ninjas.
- Out-Gambitted: Intelli makes an entire plan to weaken all members of Yaoyorozu's team before she attacks, especially Yaoyorozu herself. When Yaoyorozu realizes this, being the most unstable variable in Intelli's plan, she decides to attack rather than defend and is able to end Intelli's plan.
- The Paragon: Midoriya and Bakugo are acknowledged by Aizawa as people that push Class 1-A forward.
