Rage, You Damn Nerd is the sixth episode of the My Hero Academia anime.
Summary#
All Might takes in the moment, impressed Izuku focused One For All into his fingertips. Izuku's action not only receives praise from All Might, but Ochaco as well. Katsuki is enraged. He is not only confused about Izuku's new abilities but also enraged at the thought that Izuku has been lying all their lives. Katsuki lashes out in anger at Izuku but is caught in Shota's capture weapon.
Shota warns the students not to make him use his Quirk too much because it causes dry eyes. Then, he moves on to present the test results, in which Izuku placed last. Izuku fears that despite his hard work, he has failed out of the class anyway, but this is dispelled when Shota reveals the expulsion rule was a ruse to bring out the best in the class.
He dismisses the class and has Izuku sent to Recovery Girl to heal his finger. Afterwards, All Might confronts his pupil's teacher, calling him a liar because he once expelled an entire class. Eraser Head explains that Izuku is above the zero mark, and he can expel anyone who drops below the zero mark at any time. Recovery Girl heals Izuku's finger, but at the cost of his stamina. The first day of school ends, and an exhausted Izuku runs into Tenya and Ochaco, realizing that he has made some friends at school.
The next day, class 1-A goes through a normal day of class until they reach their Hero Basic Training class. All Might leads the class to combat training, where they will get a chance to wear their hero costumes for the first time. After the class changes into their costumes, they gather at Grounds B, the very same training area where the practical test for the entrance exams was held.
All Might goes through the rules. The class will be broken into ten teams, half heroes and half villains. The villains will guard a nuclear weapon they intend on deploying, and the heroes must stop their scheme. If the heroes capture the villains or reach the nuclear core before time runs out, they win. If the villains manage to keep the nuclear core for the whole time or capture the heroes, they win.
The teams are drawn from lots, and All Might announces that Team A (Izuku & Ochaco) will face Team D (Katsuki & Tenya). Team D heads inside first and finds the fake missile inside. Still confused, Katsuki asks Tenya about Izuku's quirk, and Tenya replies with a question about why Katsuki hates Izuku so much.
Five minutes pass, and Team A enters the building, but before getting too far, Katsuki attacks them. His sneak attack only manages to damage half of Izuku's mask; the latter was able to evade while saving Ochaco. Katsuki attacks again, but Izuku catches his swing. Then, Izuku shoulder-tosses the surprised Katsuki into the ground, garnering praise from his fellow classmates watching from the projection room with All Might. Izuku reveals he has been taking notes on Katsuki for years with the same notebook the latter burned. Izuku knew that he started every fight with a right hook and was able to counter. Izuku doesn't back down from Katsuki, telling his former bully that he is no longer the weak and defenseless Deku. Infuriated at his audacity, Katsuki voices his hatred of Izuku.

Anime & Manga Differences#
- In the anime, the rest of the Quirk Apprehension Test is shown, along with the final results, while in the manga, it's shown a bit later.
- In the anime, Hanta and Eijiro comment about the Quirk Apprehension Test, but not in the manga.
- In the anime, Eraser Head shows the test results first, before admitting to his class that no one is getting expelled.
- After All Might talks with Eraser Head, the anime cuts the two students noticing the former Hero in the background.
- The anime cuts the short transition scene of some students discussing school clubs.
- The anime slightly extends Izuku's recollection of the earlier parts of the school day, by showing him (along with Ochaco and Tenya) meeting Lunch Rush for the first time.
- When Izuku explains the clothing submission system for costumes, the anime only shows Katsuki, Tenya, and Yuga's forms. In the manga, Minoru, Rikido, Ochaco, and Eijiro's sheets are shown as well.
- The visuals accompanying All Might's script reading are simple graphs with stick figures in the manga. In the anime, it's represented by pixel art video game imagery that swaps between RPG and arcade fighter "gameplay", similar to Present Mic's explanation of the Entrance Exam in Episode 3.
- The anime adds a scene of Izuku and Katsuki staring each other down after the rest of the class begins heading to the viewing room.
- In the anime, when Ochaco and Izuku are teamed up, in the roll call, both of them are wearing their headgear. In the manga, they are off.
- When All Might recalls reading the notes Izuku took in his notebook, the anime depicts All Might reading under the bridge. In the manga, All Might has already departed from the bridge by the time he read Izuku's notes.
