Mrs. Bakugou seems like the type who'd walk up to him in his hospital bed, then whack him on the head and say, "You've had this comin for years, you lil' poo poo."

He already had that power and speed but using it would literally destroy him. Constant training and events made him tougher, but he's being as careful as he can not to accidentally maim himself so he ended up lowballing how much he can withstand.

That's not too strange for this story really.

He's not making GBS threads on the story, he's genuinely digging this sudden power up.

5% let a smallish, mildly fit teenager lay a trained adult out in a couple punches, wall jump, and leap 20+ feet on the air.

Well, realistically a 5% punch should be enough to totally wreck any normal human being without any defense-boosting abilities. Heck, regular people punches can gently caress you up, so the punch from someone who can jump 20+ feet in the air would cause serious injury under pretty much any circumstance.

It seems pretty clear that the series doesn't care much about realism in terms of One for All being used against people, though (which makes sense, because otherwise all fights against people who couldn't strengthen their bodies would end in one shot). Heck, the human body wouldn't be able to handle the poo poo Bakugou does either; his arm (and probably a bunch of other stuff) would break any time he tried to use an explosion for mobility.

That's also a fair way to see it, imo. A small step for All Might, a giant leap for Deku-kind.

One of the things about most superpowers is, if you have power X, you also need powers A, B, and C to function normally. Now MHA does go a bit into people with power X, and only powers A and C, but there are other times that it'll say you have power X and everything else necessary to not instantly turn into a mess when you use it.

Another thing to consider is that quirks appear to operate as another part of your body that you can train, so Bakugou can (and probably has) train his body to handle explosions of larger size than what we've seen so far. It was a point during the practical exam against All Might that Bakugou was holding back and only using explosions that he knew he could handle, and that part of passing was for him to go a little bit beyond that point.

Deku will be unable to control his power, and will end up killing his friend and rival as a result. This will teach him an important lesson about the responsible use of power, and the importance of talking out your problems, instead of punching them out.

And then, because this comic is inspired in part by Western Comics, in a few chapters they'll find a contrived way to bring Bakugou back to life.

If MHA was a western comic, All Might as a hero would have been written out of the story not by using the last of his power to save the city but by going mad due to the fact he couldn't identify with other people as he was basically a god then destroying half of Japan before being brought down by some cosmic entity.

All Might is Silver Age. He'd use the last of his power to save the city and then within 3 issues would be running around the city in a rainbow costume that gave him new color based abilities.

Fair but then some other guy would make a deconstruction of All Might in twenty years called Big Strong who would end up as I previously described.

I wonder if Bakugou's dad is the one with the explosion powers. Or he just sweats nitro and his mom has a small spark-producing quirk.

This is actually explained in an omake. His dad's sweat is some very mildly explosive/sparking acidic compound that he can't trigger at all- only through other forms of ignition.

His mom's quirk was that her skin very slightly excretes glycerine which apparently makes her skin really nice all the time.

Combined, you get exploding sweat. How Bakugou magically triggers it with his brain, I dunno.

To be fair, a lot of shonen manga would have killed someone like All Might off and then brought him back in a retcon by the same writer.

I wanna see All Might with the ridiculous SSJ3 golden mane of hair.

I hope Deku starts to incorporate some non-kicks into his fighting. Kicking as his most common attack is fine, but I don't think he threw a single punch during his fight with Bakugou? I can't imagine that's an effective way to fight.

I wonder if they'll ever bring up the fact that One for All can seemingly make you more durable (based upon the fact that All Might was able to tank Bakugou's really strong explosion and handle a bunch of punches from that really strong Noumu). I'm guessing that they'll just ignore that aspect with Deku (for the same reason All Might using OfA doesn't get the electric visual effect, etc).

It's different when they're in costumes since those are specially made.
