Props to Mineta for that con. Though I do have to question the sexiness of American school cheerleader uniforms. Maybe you have to not be desensitized to it?

It's not the uniform that's sexy. It's how you wear it.

Also possible, I just forgot about him. I don't think he'd work as well since he's as immature as Bakugou is. But then maybe that would mean he'd be more effective at calling him out. Man, Bakugou is such an interesting character, and I really look forward to seeing how he develops. I guess I'm starting to see why Vegetas are always popular.

I'm not so hot on him, he seems a lot more like a Sasuke than a Vegeta.

In my mind, I can't help but imagine Todoroki being voiced by Dante Basco. It's just too perfect.

Same with the expression on Bakugou. He seems really great at letting his art speak for himself.

^ Good thing he's nothing like Sasuke then. The fact that he's always cautios enough not to hurt others already puts him in completely different dimension. Not to mention that he set the goal to become #1 with his own power, not taken from Orochimaru someone else and I'm pretty sure nothing will change it.

Hell, his goal is technically to become #1 with only half his power.

Omake chapter with more character profiles, including:

Navelgun, in "Civilian Clothes" (Likes: Himself)

Tooru, "Tastefully Nude"

Tsuyu, in "Winter Ensemble" (She's sensitive to the cold)

Grapeboy, dressed to go "Out on the Town" (Likes: Girls) (Also, the mangaka explains how he passed the entrance exam for Yuuei Academy)

No. 13, in "Hero Costume"

Ojiro aka "Tail Boy", in "Civilian Clothes" (His quirk is that he has a strong, sturdy tail. That's it. That's all there is to his powers)

Present Mic, in "Hero Costume"

Todoroki, in "Civilian Clothes" (Likes: Cold soba)

Yaoyozoru, in "Relatively Casual" clothes (Clarified that she can create any substance including organic substances, as long as it's not a living thing)

Now that I think about it, Ojiro has got to be the underdog of underdogs in Yuuei Academy. His classmates and competitors in the tournament can create fire and ice; create any object out of any materials; make explosions; have a sentient shadow-bird companion; nullify gravity; shoot tape out of their elbows; emit lightning; harden their entire body; shoot lasers; spray acid; move at hyper-speed; or have the same ability as the No. 1 Hero in the world. All Ojiro has is a strong, sturdy tail.

To be fair we haven't seen just how strong his tail is. If it's like gorilla-arm type strong he's probably better in a straight-up fight than around half the class.

Ojiro is the fuckin coolest and I hope he does well in the tournament. He's basically Ryu, dude just loves martial arts and training,

To be fair, the majority of the time Deku has less than that - at least, for the moment. He managed to win the first event without any kind of quirk at all for instance - just a well trained body, intelligence and some guts.

Wasn't expecting Deku and Todoroki in the same bracket. Uraraka against Bakugou should be good, and much as I want navel laser to win, I think I'd rather see Yaoyorozu take the whole thing. Either she or Bakugou seem most likely to take that half.

I will probably be entirely wrong and the winner will be thorn hair or ant girl, though! Should be fun regardless.

Remember that after this final event, the winner(s) (multiple people I imagine) go on to compete in an open series of events with the sophomore and senior classes.

That's the only reason I think Midoriya doesn't get knocked out of the tournament, but I really just can't see him making it to the end the more I look at it. He's going to HAVE to blast someone.

It'd be fantastic if this happens, but I am kind of expecting her to get horribly mauled, not least because Bakugou's got some character-important match ups later on, like against his hardening buddy. On an unrelated note, holy poo poo that poor C-List bastard going up against Todoroki in his first round. How many fractions of a second do you think he'll last?
