I don't understand, wasn't he wrecking his body just using 5% punches during the sports tournament? How does 100% not just vaporize his arm or something? Is it a translation thing and this is just 100% of his 5%?
It's worth noting that mechanically (as far as this superpower goes anyway), there seems to be a difference between how much of that energy goes toward outputting power and how much goes toward reinforcing the strength in his limbs. What's actually holding our protag back is the inability to properly balance strengthening his limbs to Superman durability AND outputting Superman levels of power. Once he gets that balanced, he should be able to act as All Might in his prime, just out putting sheer wreckage without much (or any) self harm. Until then, he's gonna develop old man arms.

EDIT: Changed because now that I think about it, the important part is that there's a stark difference between the two, unlike muscleman who got to do both at once.

So I just noticed, in the splash page of the heroes vs villains, Shoji isn't there. They've got basically every other person out there who's intending to fight, including the B-Class students who aren't leaving, and Tokoyami's there too, so Shoji being missing is odd. Was it actually his arm that we saw last chapter?

I might just be reading into things, but it seemed like a notable exception to me.

Aoyama isn't there either, along with Hagekure (shut up she'd be wearing her "costume" which includes her gloves), neither is Satou.

This seems likely. I was under the impression that his 100% was an All-Might class punch, which led me initially to believe this guy was in All-Might's league to tank that. It's obvious now that there's a lot more power to draw on. Assuming he doesn't turn himself into ground meat first.

I imagine that the biggest reason All Might would still relatively easily own this guy is that All Might is ridiculously fast. While muscle guy is also fast, I don't think he's "appears to be a blur" fast like All Might. Because Midoriya isn't nearly that fast, he had no choice but to try and directly break through muscle guy's defenses. All Might, on the other hand, could probably both avoid his defenses with his speed or just destroy his defenses with a bunch of super fast punches.

It seems to me like a really big "upgrade" for Deku would be to focus on his speed, since his punches are already strong enough to handle any villains that don't have defense-related powers (or powers that can grant a strong defense, like muscle guy).

Does anyone else think this is getting a bit, I dunno, torture porn-y? I mean I still enjoy this manga and Deku is certainly awesome as hell, but there seems to be a constant escalation as to just how incredibly torn up this kid can get. Break both legs and an arm! Splinter the bones in his hand! Take a dozen bombs to the face! Fall off buildings! Get slammed into cliffsides! Reduce both arms to bags of jelly! Jeez. Evel Knievel has nothing on him.

Oh sure, it's just getting repetitious. It's like people on police dramas constantly getting shot in the shoulder. I hope the mangaka has more in his wheelhouse than "Deku needs to act heroic again. What body part shall I pulverize this time?"

A good chapter but i'm a bit disappointed the story of the fight was that Deku goes over the limit of what he can do with one for all to defeat a superior opponent and kills his arms in the process, because I find it pretty similar to his whole fight with Todoroki which was Deku's last major one-on-one battle. It was still a cool fight and all but man I hope he stops shattering his arms soon, he needs those.

It should be noted that he likely did not actually preform a harder punch to defeat the guy. If you pay attention closely. Deku shoves his hands into the Fibers that serve as the guys shield. He then did that thing were he opens up his fingers with a ton of force to knock away the fibers protecting the guy so he could sock him in the face.

Pretty much he peeled away the villains shield then punched him.

I don't think any of that is true. The guy was never really hiding his face most of the time anyways. He has it uncovered for most of the preceding pages so he could taunt Kouta about killing him next, then he turns back and realizes that there's something different about Deku, who then punches him. His off-hand isn't even in the guy's mass anymore when he does so and Deku appears to have used it to push him back a ways to get room to swing or something. We also never see where the punch connects. There's really no point in Deku talking about hitting using 1,000,000% power after a flashback to All Might talking about hitting with more than 100% of himself if he's just hitting the villain in a more sensitive place.

I am a great soft jelly thing. Smoothly rounded, with no mouth, with pulsing white holes filled by fog where my eyes used to be. Rubbery appendages that were once my arms; bulks rounding down into legless humps of soft slippery matter. I leave a moist trail when I move. Blotches of diseased, evil gray come and go on my surface, as though light is being beamed from within.

Outwardly: dumbly, I shamble about, a thing that could never have been known as human, a thing whose shape is so alien a travesty that humanity becomes more obscene for the vague resemblance.

Bakugou will be all the madder for that. It makes me a little happier. And yet ... Bakugou has won, simply ... he has taken his revenge ...

I have no quirk. And I must scream.

He definitely did something beyond hit him really, REALLY hard, because otherwise what was the bit with the Delaware-Detroit Smash?

I think it'll make more sense when the Viz scans come out.

The clean korean scans do make it clear--he blasted him with air pressure using his fingers+hand, and then hit him directly with a punch. Futae no Kiwami ahhhhhhhhhh

That might explain where he got the 1,000,000 percent number from, since he was hitting him with 100% of his max power several times almost simultaneously.

The mangastream "cleaning" job really did a good job of hiding how utterly ruined Deku's right arm and hand is. It's just loving wrecked.
