I mean, we see Deku developing strategies for Uraraka to use against Bakugou. The school has entire classes dedicated to superhero management and support, aka the kind of thing someone who is quirkless but extremely knowledgeable about superheroics would be very well suited for

DoubleDonut posted:Society is not based around reality tv shows Superheroes are the reality tv show/celebrities of that society in the exact same way, except instead of Endeavor releasing a rap album he shoots fire out of his beard. In the very first chapter a bunch of fans crowd around a crime scene hoping to see their favourite superheroes in person. Which then begs the question of who would be considered the Kim Kardashian of that world.

I really don't know what to tell you if you don't appreciate the difference between fighting supercriminals (as well as insanely dangerous search & rescue situations, according to the black hole guy) and pop music

i don't know why people think that everyone who isn't deku has been training their whole lives for this. Bakugou put lots of thought into his quirk but nothing has been shown they think outside of their quirk

Horrible Smutbeast posted:He didn't know how to use his powers at the time. He was still in the stage where he could only use it once or twice and obliterate his limbs so he couldn't break his arm just to get the grip test done, then run over to break both his legs in the first two steps for the 100m dash. Almost all his testing after admissions was just his limit as a human without a quirk with him only starting to grasp how to use his quirk right at the end with throwing the ball. My point is that not being able to use his powers shouldn't have resulted in him getting last place, given that some of his classmates' powers would be 100% useless for physical events (whereas Deku at least got one good use out of his ability, which isn't really better or worse than a bunch of his peers; I think it was explicitly stated that most/all of his peers had "at least one event they could excel in", which means that some other students also only did well in one event). I guess I might be willing to buy that every single other person in his class has been aggressively training their bodies for their entire lives, but we haven't actually been told that's the case with anyone other than I think Bakugou and Todoroki. At the very least, it looks like Deku's in better shape than, say, Mineta or electric guy.

At least in the case of Mineta, we got to see the event he dominated in. (It was the side hop if you don't care to look/remember.) EDIT: And I think that Tsuyu had a world class hopping speed in the dash. FH_Meta fucked around with this message at 00:45 on Sep 24, 2015 |

Yeah OFA is a really weird quirk and getting it after "nah you're useless. QUIRKLESS IDIOT" his whole life left him playing catch up. The only field at the entrance exam that Midoriya really excelled in was "acting like a goddamn hero" and helping someone else.

Ytlaya posted:Mineta passing the initial exam doesn't bother me much for the reasons given, but the one thing I don't totally understand is why Midoriya got last place when they did all the physical exams. I mean, he was in pretty great shape and a bunch of his classmates' quirks seem like they would be completely useless for the sort of tests they were shown doing (like electricity guy or invisible girl). Because he broke his finger with the ball throw test and then he was way too busy trying not to pass out from the pain to give a proper effort? Pretty sure that was a thing he himself said.

Also it appears that Deku's lunch buddies are Ildia, Ochako, Hagakure, Todoroki and Tsuyu. Also Kaminari and Ashido don't seem to be too booksmart.

New translated chapter is out! Bakugou and Midoriya have to fight All Might for their practical. Holy poo poo. Also if you're wondering as far as time goes I think we're literally only 3 months into class. The school year starts in April. Fabricated fucked around with this message at 17:54 on Sep 25, 2015 |

Huh Bakugou does better in his tests than Deku? That's not a surprise I suppose, but still, I wouldn't have guessed it.

Alfalfa The Roach posted:So how stacked is this against All Might, considering he's been growing weaker by the day? It'd be cool if Midoriya ended up beating All Might in a fist fight in front of the class. It'd fit with the consistent pattern of Midoriya showing up Bakugou in some fashion every time and would certainly shock the hell out of the class.

Fabricated posted:I'm a little surprised he's a better studier than Midoriya but him doing well makes sense. He doesn't just have a good quirk; he's driven as hell. How is it surprising? Bakugou has been shown already that he wants to go 100% at everyone all the time in fighting, would make sense he does so at school work as well. He wouldn't consider it a victory unless he did it by himself. I hope this arc makes Bakugou either flip his poo poo and leave the school or become a villain. It's probably the only way he'll ever get a fair fight with everything they got out of Deku and Todoroki.

I'm half expecting this to be an excuse to get Bakugou away from the group so All Might can talk to him about what's up with him and Midoriya because of what Aizawa said at the meeting.

Anyway, great chapter. Looking forward to the next one, though I hope they don't completely skip over Momo and Todoroki's fight. Pairing them off against Aizawa is actually a super interesting match-up.

It's almost certainly designed to get Bakugou and Midoriya to work together and hopefully iron out their differences, and will also almost certainly backfire. I don't think they need an excuse to talk to Bakugou, they are teachers, just like, call him into your office lol.

Trying to tell Bakugou the real deal about Midoriya indoors would result in massive property damage, best to do it outside really.

If Bakugou finds out that Midoriya basically "cheated" and jumped the line to first place with All-Might's quirk he's going to end up blowing up half of Japan.
