Even putting aside that the guy she was fighting is really strong in one on one fights, it makes sense that she'd not be that great in a straight up fight. As completely ridiculous as the ability to make nearly anything is, she's still basically just a normal person in a fight. She needs Deku's notebook.

I dunno, she's pretty devastating in a solo fight if she has prep time. Unfortunately for her, that's not a on option in this format and matchup. Narratively, it makes sense for Bakugou to win. That places him against the closest thing he has to a friend, Kirishima, and gives Deku a clear run of fights against important rivals - Todoroki, then Iida, then Bakugou. Uraraka managing to take him down would be pretty rad, though, and it'd be hilarious to see Bakugou trying to adjust to cheering on Kirishima from the sidelines.

Kirishma v Bakuguo could be an amazing fight. Also, potentially character-building for him, as he's kind of a friend, as you mentioned, and also--how effective would his blasts even be? He would have to implement some actual strategy.

Uraraka winning would be a good subversion of expectations. I mean, everyone is literally openly worrying that Bakugou is going to curbstomp her really badly- badly enough that having someone who can instantly heal people on standby doesn't make it okay. Hopefully she at least gets to put on a good show. A win would be cool but it'll be kind of a bummer if Bakugou just fucks her up really bad.

If he loses (to a girl no less, which let's face it would probably bother him even more), it might finally be the cold shower needed to cool off his hotheaded, "Too cool for school" attitude. Ochako has a little less at stake here, narratively, but that also means success or failure at this point could become a crucial part of her arc. Personally, I'm hoping she goes for it.

Lose was probably the wrong word. Tone down? Temper? I am totally okay with Bakugou retaining his hotheaded punk personality provided he comes to the realization that maybe other human beings exist and trying to murder Deku during a training session was not too cool of him.

I loved the face Uraraka made when Deku told her he's been taking notes on everybody. This whole time. Including her. And it completely goes over his head why someone might find that a bit unsettling.

I have a hard time seeing how gravity girl could win this one. Bakugou has used his explosions to fly in the past so he should be able to retain control even if he is weightless and I'm having a hard time thinking of anything else she can do to him. And thanks to the people who actually put in links for chapters when they're out and don't just spoil what happens in it and sets us off on a google search for the website that has the chapter hosted first this specific week.

Not related to this chapter, but thinking upon it, Aizawa's claim about the flaws in UA's entrance exams carry a lot more weight when you realize that his quirk is just like Shinsou's in that it's at a disadvantage due to the rules. Shutting down quirks really doesn't do jack when you're up against robots. It's only on a stage like the tournament where you can really show what you're capable of. Still, Aizawa was able to become a hero, so that bodes well for Shinsou. It's also fun to think about certain powers, like the Copy guy's, in context of this universe. Normally, power copying is a boring and cliched power but I feel like it's a lot more limited and interesting in the context of the My Hero Academia world. Especially when you take costumes into consideration. Copy guy might be able to copy Bakugou's explosions and throw them back at him, but if uniforms had been allowed in the contest then things would have been a lot different since Bakugou could have just stored up sweat and let 'er rip in one go. Also, what sort of costume would someone who uses Copy wear anyways? Do you go for flexibility? If working in a team, you could wear a costume that can make the best use of your teammate's quirks. If you know what enemy you'll be going against (and thus the quirk you'll be copying) you could get yourself a costume that could make use of your enemy's quirk. Though that would be really expensive in the long run. Shinsou's costume could probably use a voice changer and a disguise kit so villains don't know they're actually talking to a guy who can take control of them. What sort of costume would Invisible Girl even use, anyways?

ZepiaEltnamOberon posted:What sort of costume would Invisible Girl even use, anyways? That's the whole joke to her character - she has to get completely naked to be completely invisible. During every event so far in the comic the guys around her comment in a panel here or there how "hot" or uncomfortable it is to have her be wandering around with nothing on even if they can't see her. Especially during the cavalry part.

Yeah, I get that it's the joke but you'd think in a world of quirks they'd figure something out. I mean, heck, they've got two invisi-people in the same grade and who knows how more elsewhere. Tooru's pretty great cause of how energetic and hyped up she is about pretty much everything.

The author said something about not having explained what her power really is yet I think? So it's not just "She's invisible" apparently.

Really, besides maybe Kirishima/Tetsutetsu, there aren't any fights that I feel like I missed out on too badly; Crow vs. Momo was pretty much just a one-sided rushdown, Kaminari's loss was pretty much instant (and while you could extend it, I think this is actually a bit stronger characterization for him, in that he needs to learn some patience and not just blow immediately zap himself stupid), and Mina vs. Navel was pretty simple. People's strengths and weaknesses were pretty well highlighted with what we got. I'd only have given those fights a couple pages tops anyways.

I'm a sucker for tournament arcs but even I'll admit it's for the best that we don't spend 40 chapters on this. I imagine the second round will have one or two short fights but the rest will likely get a fair bit of panel time.

Yeah, I really doubt we'll see much of Iida versus Shiozaki or Tokoyami versus Ashido, because who really cares, but all the other fights from now on are likely to get a fair degree of focus. Well, 'cept for the likely Tokoyami versus Bakugou battle.

I wouldn't mind if both of those fights were handled in a couple pages, yeah, but I really hope they each get at least a couple pages. Ashido is cool as hell and so are Tokoyama and Shiozaki, so I want to see them in action some more.

Not that I don't expect Hero Academia to continue being great, but no, they really could've been a bit more expansive in the battles. Sea level is a pretty high point compared to the Challenger Deep.
