'My Hero Academia' Episode 57 Air Date, Spoilers: Rescue Simulation Not as Simple as It Seems for Class 1-A

Fans of the hero world anime will be glad to know that “My Hero Academia's” Provisional Hero Licensure Exam arc is coming to an end soon. Episode 57 will give the students of class 1-A more challenges as they learn to master their quirks for the good of society.

Titled “Rescue Exercises”, “My Hero Academia” episode 57 will be the team's last screening test for the Provisional Hero Licensure Exam. From the episode's preview, class 1-A will be encountering a simulated rescue challenge that will require them to focus on the welfare of the civilians trapped under a collapsed building. Aside from the largely non-combat focused encounter, Comicbook.com has noted that Episode 57 will have the students focusing on collaboration and judgment using their quirks.

This will be a radical difference from the usual villain fight challenges that the students are used to. The first phase of the Hero Licensure Exam covered in “My Hero Academia” Episode 56 focused on the students fighting simulated villains and learning how to use their quirks in combat against students from Seiai Academy and Shiketsu High, to name a few.

Fans can expect the rescue exercise to not go as smoothly as predicted. Aside from the challenges of having to deal with the rescuees, the students of class 1-A may end up having to fight other simulated villains as they make their way through the simulated disaster site. The added challenge of having to think of rescuing the professional volunteer members of the Help Us Company while fighting off other simulated villains will be the ultimate test for heroes in finding balance between fighting and serving those in need.

"My Hero Academia" episode 57 already aired last Aug 18. Fans of the show who have yet to watch the latest episode can catch the series on Crunchyroll.
