Episode 93

Operation New Improv Moves (オペレーション) is the ninety third episode of the My Hero Academia anime and the fifth episode of the fifth season.

Summary
With the first round concluded, Eraser Head asks his team to comment on what they learned or need to improve on. Eijiro says that outside is combat, his Quirk has very little application. Koji wishes to give more detailed instructions to his insects. Denki is happily jumping in the air lamenting about how good he was. Tsuyu wishes Koji and Eijiro weren't captured so early to preserve their coordination. Hitoshi is frustrated about his inexperience using the Binding Cloth fighting style. Shota tells Hitoshi to carry that frustration with him for improvement, as the former took six years to fully master the fighting style. Yuga notices that Tsuyu and Eijiro took their flaws the hardest because of their participation in the Shie Hassaikai Raid, with Hanta agreeing. Kyoka laughs at Denki for how chaotic his actions were by comparison.

Shota recommends that Eijiro try to set up his opponent for a one-on-one fight, and agrees with Koji's self-criticism, as well as adding that he should focus on exploiting an enemy's weakness. Shota scolds Kaminari for not taking the match seriously until his teammates started getting captured, and tells Tsuyu to focus on making up for her mistakes rather than dwelling on them.

While Shinso is reflecting on his match, Midnight writhes in pleasure at the thought of Shinso not being downtrodden in his failure. All Might looks at her with mild disturbance. Vlad King, meanwhile, is scolding his team for splitting up their members as part of their plan, blaming their loss on a lack of cooperation. Neito, after calmly agreeing with sentiment, obsessively rushes over to Hitoshi to devise a plan for their match. Izuku and Minoru notice this and start to formulate a plan with their team. Tenya's team follows suit, and Bakugo's team tries the same, but not before he screams for his team not to get in his way. Midnight, once again, squeals with glee at seeing the students work together. All Might looks at his class proudly and notices how their demeanor has changed since all the major events that took place over the year.

Vlad King asks All Might what he thinks of Shinso's performance, to which the retired Pro Hero notes how much he's open to learning and improving, and expects to him to be much more proactive in his next match. Shota tells All Might to treat this as Shinso's test to make it in to the hero course. Vlad King then shouts for the Round Two teams to take their positions.

As both teams make way to their starting positions, Itsuka asks Momo why she didn't participate in the U.A. School Festival's beauty paegant.
