Oh dang, looks like we're getting some good shots of the other groups after all. Among other things, Tokoyami and Tsuyu showing off some great teamwork against "Ectoplasm", whose power seems to involve clones of himself. Also huh, Aizawa's hunting down Todoroki and Yaoyorozu or something? Hoo boy, they better hope he doesn't get the drop on them.

Also All Might annihilated a street with one punch, because of course he did. Deku and Bakugou seem to need to steal his bracers, which I think is the opposite of Ashido and Kaminari's goal; looking at those tiny handcuffs I would guess they have to capture the principal or something. Or maybe those are power limiters on All Might? (Given his obliterating that street, probably not.) Either way, should be interesting.


Edit: Just gave it another view. Poor Yaoyorozu seems to still be suffering from insecurity/self-esteem issues. I really hope she ends up having something good happens to her soon.

All Might's bracers aren't there for Deku and Bakugou to capture. Those are weighted bracers (developed by Hatsuko Mei) with a total weight of half of All-Might's bodyweight. They are there to slow down his movements and give Deku and Bakugou a fighting chance, so that the choice between "stay and fight the No. 1 hero in the world" and "run away" isn't so clear-cut.

Do we know yet if All Might's abilities confer some level of ultra-durability? I want to say that they do based upon him taking all those punches from Noumu (who seemingly had ultra-strength himself), but we haven't really gotten any hint at Deku's usage of One-for-All conferring such abilities (it makes sense it wouldn't be apparent when he was just using the ability in bursts, but now that he applies to his whole body over long periods of time it seems like it should take effect).

Anyways, if they do then I can't imagine Deku or Bakugou being able to hurt him even if they were given free reign to just lay into him.

Also, I really doubt that this fight is going to result in All Might's secret being revealed to Bakugou. All Might knows how long he can keep using his ability (which I seem to recall being at least a couple hours a day), and they're not going to be fighting him for hours. The only reason Deku caught him is that he was forced to use his ability longer by a situation he hadn't anticipated.

He can presumably shove energy into a location he's about to get hit - or more accurately is so much better at using it than Deku that he's already doing that all the time everywhere.

I really hope they start going through the other student's development. They've been hinting at that character for a few chapters now here and there so hopefully it's their time to shine, especially considering how strong their quirk is.

That doesnt sound like much unless he weighs a goodly amount of tons in hero mode.

I read it a second time and it turns out I mis-read it the first time round. Each of the bracers weighs half his body-weight, so four bracers will equal twice his body-weight.

I think at last tally All Might himself said he can last maybe 50 minutes in muscle form, less if he uses his power more. Test is 30 minutes. Possible but not likely.

This particular test seems especially designed to immediately gently caress over Deku and Bakugou, though I have to imagine that's the point.

If you must blink, do it now.
Tsuyu and Fumikage work well together. Also, not a bad game plan coming from Todoroki. I figured Momo might use her power to create some tools in advance, but the breadcrumb idea is actually pretty solid. Shame it seems to be another blow to Momo's self-confidence.

I think Tokoyami is really my favorite character out of all of them. He's got a great, iconic, and recognizable character design and characterwise he's down to earth and cool without being aloof. Nice going, birdboy. :911:

I imagine that the only way Deku's team can win is, as Deku mentioned, through escape. Even if All Might just let Deku hit him it still wouldn't do much damage (judging from the fact that he could take a bunch of punches from Noumu), and the same probably goes for Bakugou.

The only way I see them winning is if they exploit Deku's knowledge of All Might's declining health. Like maybe force him to use too much of his power and lose his buff form.

All Might would probably just instantly knock both of them out of the arena before letting Bakugou in on the secret.

Fumikage has quickly proven that the author can in fact a pretty nice cloak. I love cloaks.

I also really like the setup being specifically to test unit cohesion, and you can see some obvious parallels in western superhero comics. The whole sidekick/partner thing, and you can even see how some of the dynamics are quickly falling into either, though with Bakugou and Midoriya failing to communicate entirely. Interested on how the comic will try to resolve the two, or if maybe they'll actually fail.

The Academic setting is proving really useful in that regard.

I cannot wait to see Bakugou's reaction when he realizes that All Might caused more damage with one air-punch than he can probably cause with his biggest blasts, at least at the moment. And while handicapped at that. Or for when he goes all out and All Might no-sells every bit of it. That moment when he realizes the heights he still has to climb to reach the top basically.
