Deku hasn't been viscerally injured lately, maybe he'll regret blowing his leg off when he jostled the guy made of explosions too hard.

I like how Deku just pulls a 60% power and speed increase out of his rear end. It'd be like running against Usain Bolt in the Olympics, him grunting "Hngh finally... a worthy opponent" and sprinting at 44mph when you thought he was only capable of 27. That weightlifter over there that just lifted 579 lbs? He yells "watch this, fucker" over to you and spontaneously lifts 925lbs because he thought you wanted a challenge. The proper reaction should be for secondary characters to poo poo their pants when the kid decides to get real.

He already had that power and speed but using it would literally destroy him. Constant training and events made him tougher, but he's being as careful as he can not to accidentally maim himself so he ended up lowballing how much he can withstand. That's not too strange for this story really.

I feel like this is an important thing to remember, this isn't just 5% to 8%, the others don't know that he's only using 5% of the power. So all they see is him powering up 60%. Which is insane.

I honestly like how everyone is constantly underestimating the kid when, he could probably turn their faces (and consequently his legs) into a fine mist if he wants to. He's been the underdog this whole time, I just hope we get treated to a scene where an antagonist realizes how absurdly powerful he is and gets into a panic over it. As far as I recall, there really hasn't been anything in the likes of such.

Deku will be unable to control his power, and will end up killing his friend and rival as a result. This will teach him an important lesson about the responsible use of power, and the importance of talking out your problems, instead of punching them out. And then, because this comic is inspired in part by Western Comics, in a few chapters they'll find a contrived way to bring Bakugou back to life.

Pretty sure Gran Torrino talked to him about just going balls out on every move he made with One For All. The combination of never having a quirk before and idolizing Detroit Smashing All Might meant that he went full force every time.

Red Mike posted:Oh lord, that makes sense. Now obviously Bakugou is going to go 'You were holding back last time we fought' and instant Sasuke, because that's literally what it looks like. He already put it together that Deku has All-Mights quirk before the fight even started, Bakugou understands exactly the scale that Deku can operate on because he was as least as big a fan of the number 1. He knows the same thing that broke Endeavor back in the day, and that is that One For All is an completely utterly insane power boost that no one can approach with resorting to poo poo like All For One stacking every physical enhancement quirk he could find. Running completely on the final fumes of his quirk and secretly cripplingly injured All-Might crossed a city in seconds and slugged it out with a dude who can annihilate a couple city blocks in a blink. 100% Deku would move like a DBZ character, and Bakugou would have to blow poo poo up like one to stand a chance as an actual rival. It's one of the things that makes me root for him, because Deku hasn't genuinely felt like the underdog since chapter 2.

From their point of view Deku powered down to the manageable 5% and Bakugou just saw him move slightly back toward 100%. Bakugou has never actually fought 100% Deku, because Deku never actually used OFA against him. Deku used OFA to win their battle by punching through the ceiling but not to actually attack Bakugou in any way, because using 100% OFA against Bakugou with Deku's lovely level of control would lead to chunky salsa Kacchan sprayed across the walls. Most of their previous fight consisted of Deku using normal teenager strength martial arts to try to disable/dissuade Bakugou.

They all know what he is fully capable of, but they are used to seeing him fighting at a constant 5% - so seeing him at a constant 8% will be a 60% increase in his passive power level, which is nothing to scoff at.

IIRC Deku was using 5% the entire time until Gran Torino, and the reason it was wrecking his limbs was because he concentrated all that power into too small an area. Gran Torino's training helped him realize that he needed to A) spread it to his whole body, and B) have it activated continuously instead of in bursts.

Deku giving it all never seemed as strong as All-Might basically I think that as he trains and grows stronger he'll be capable of tapping into more and more of his quirk's strength that he can't possibly use now

It's one of the things that makes me root for him, because Deku hasn't genuinely felt like the underdog since chapter 2. Honestly, that's big for me yeah. Like he was absolutely an underdog at first, but after a while he just seems...well, he's extremely competent, has an amazing power and has literally no ceiling for his growth. Everyone else has a hard limit. They can sorta improve their quirks, but in the world as it has been presented so far they cannot have like DBZ style training methods that will make them improve like crazy. Everyone, except Deku, seems more or less locked into their current power level(give or take actual battle experience and stuff). Like if Bakugou can't blow up a literal mountain right now, he'll never be able to, but if Deku can't kick down a mountain now, he might be able to in the future. Deku was a pretty fun underdog while catching up to everyone else, but now that he has..well, everyone else in his class feels like they have harder hurdles now in comparison haha. This is actually something I'm concerned about : Right now, the world has basically been built around no one having ridiculous power jumps save for Deku. Will this ever change at some point? I hope it doesn't. I don't want to see Bakugou learning a Kamehameboom and--actually that's a lie I totally want that.

If the writing is good then everyone else won't need power ups to have interesting arcs and growth or tense fights. The writing will probably be good, and I highly doubt everyone else will be tossed aside for our Lord and savior Deku considering it is being shown what the downsides to the sort of centralization in All Might's prime are.

For a while now Deku's been the guy everyone in the class looks up to, at least in regards to heroics. Iida, Uraraka, Todoroki, and a few of the others have pretty much said they see him as the person to aim for, or the person they need to become more like. Doesn't mean he's better than anyone though or that he has nothing to improve or struggles to overcome. He still needs to work just as hard as everyone else to keep up, but he's not the bottom of the class and certainly not an underdog. By that same vein though, Bakugou is a crazy prodigy who has excelled at just about everything he's ever put his mind to. Won the Sports Festival, and in the top 3 of overall grades in the class. Dude is insanely talented and puts a lot of effort in to continue to improve. He's not an underdog either, and since like the beginning of the series has been the strongest student in the school. They're both pretty strong, and are only going to get stronger. I couldn't say either is like better than the other though, although Deku's the better person which gives him an advantage I guess. Bakugou needs to grow more on the attitude front.

On that note I will say that I was a bit disappointed that the exam's rescue portion didn't dock Deku a bit for being not terribly efficient at rescue. I think that it would have furthered a theme that has been kind of in the background that Deku is too focused on the savior ideal of All Might that it leads to him breaking himself and can hinder his decision making. I felt like it was building to that conclusion, with him wasting a lot of time on one kid vs what the others were doing by working together or potentially Bakugou's judgment of where he was really needed.

He only got like 65 in the rescue portion or so right? So I think we're kinda supposed to assume he's got some problems with it. But honestly I was a bit disappointed with rescue section in general. I was hoping to actually see more of how Bakugou performed as a hero when it didn't involve punching things, or see Uraraka perform in a scenario that her powers seemed really suited for. It was an interesting concept that hadn't been explored much in the series yet, but most of the focus was on dealing with a "villain" attack, and outside of Todoroki and Deku most the class only had a few pages dedicated to their performance.
