Not sure what the point of this all is but hey, a guy with a really cheaty power that seems to be very difficult to control which is something of a parallel to Deku actually. This dude is a third year and he almost falls out of his clothes using it still. Subduing half the class in 5 seconds is kinda ridiculous IMO. And again: I wonder where we're going with this. It's nice to see upperclassmen finally but I don't think we needed another "Oh, the world is a big place!" reminder??? I mean the kids all had near brushes with death in the last villain attack (some humiliatingly so- with parts of the class instantly being taken out), and their 2 strongest members failed to secure their provisional licenses while the rest had to struggle mightily to get them. I think they kinda loving understand there's people who are stronger and more experienced than them without needing to get teabagged by a third-year dude whose quirk they didn't even know (which isn't anything like the "real world" in BnHA where everyone knows the quirks of working heroes).

It's literally because the dude is the successor to All Might that the principal was referring to. Also I mean it's a nice reminder that the first years aren't the Top poo poo at even just UA, let alone other academies.

Yeah, but the whole point of superhero fights is that in the real world it's someone like Stain where no one knows their power and it's only used to supplement their innate skill anyway. Plus I wouldn't be surprised if Tintin-sempai's power has enough drawbacks or constraints that it's only busted because of his complete mastery, like Best Jeanist.

This fight is a demonstration of the value of the hero internships. Deku remembers that at the previous year’s Sports Festival, these three were completely unremarkable. Yet one year later, with the internships under their belt, they are the top three students in U.A. Not only that, Mirio Togata is now the closest to becoming the No. 1 hero, beyond even Endeavor. And he reached this distinction not by possessing a powerful quirk, but through his technique developed during his internship under a “certain hero”. There's some very important plot being set up here.

I feel like TinTin is going to be a baddy. Maybe not a villain, but not an upstanding hero either. There has to be a reason why All Might rejected him. Assuming he was the guy obvs.

Yeah I am assuming he has to be solid to attack. And according to Mopey his quirk is not as good as he makes it seem, he is just really good at using it.

I interpreted the line about his quirk as "it might look like his quirk is OP and carrying him but he's actually super talented too," not "he makes due with a mediocre quirk by being super talented". Basically like Bakugou where he both won the quirk lottery and is brilliant in combat to boot.

Speaking of One Piece, the Long haired Senior's curiosity of the first year's appearances certainly reminded me of Luffy. It's also probably no coincidence Bakugou was absent from this fight. After all the turmoil he was feeling after Deku's fight, getting instantly punked by TinTin would have likely been an even bigger blow to his ego.

Basically like Bakugou where he both won the quirk lottery and is brilliant in combat to boot. To be precise, the relevant lines regarding Mirio Togata's abilities are: Kirishima: "He teleported! So it's more than just slipping through things?! Just how strong is this dude's quirk?!" Amajiki: Mirio's quirk is not something that should be envied... far from it. What you should really be jealous of is his incredible technique, you first year brats. After being scouted, he completely devoted himself to his internship under a certain hero, and Mirio was carefully cultivated...! Unlike Bakugou or Todoroki, whose quirks were naturally powerful from the start, it seems Togata's quirk took a great deal of training to be effectively exploited. Also of interest is something Hadou said after Amajiki's warning that this fight might crush the class's will: Hadou: "A while back there was a kid who got so frustrated, he completely gave up on becoming a hero, and caused all sorts of problems! Did'ja know?! That Togata, he really had it rough! So you really gotta think things through properly or it will only be hard on you!" It's a little hard to figure out exactly what she's saying Togata's role in this incident was, but it sounds like something that could be relevant to why All Might did not go with Togata as his successor.

Maybe Mustard from school trip raid. He was remarked as being as old or younger then the first years. And a lot of his lines made it sound as he was very bitter towards those who were able to become heroes. I guessed that maybe he was unable to join the hero program due to his quirk being too dangerous. Maybe is Togata's younger brother or something. We never did get a good look at his face. Though I doubt I am correct. Also it All Might was inspired by Deku and gave him the quirk before going to the school. All Might likely never met Togata.

Even after years of training he still almost loses all his cloths when his power activates. Most people aren't envious about accidentally showing off their junk to everyone.

I think the deal with Togata's quirk might be that he has to very specifically and precisely control which part of his body phases out and for how long (because if he just phased everything out he would fall out of his clothes or fall through the ground or whatever). There also may be some time limit on having a part phased out. This would be very powerful if controlled well, but also super difficult to control; you would have to get the timing right precisely when someone attacks and constantly be aware of everything around you. My hypothesis about the scars is that he maybe did some sort of exercise that involved either being attacked or having something throw at him and having to avoid it by correctly phasing out, and that he got scarred up a bunch in the process.

Mangastream generally are poo poo so we'll have to wait for the next chapter or Viz official translations but I thought the "kid that got frustrated" is in fact, Togata. Like, him clowning everyone is a setup for showing that these three top-tier students weren't hot poo poo going into their third year and that their internships really helped THAT much.

The idea that the internships would make such a dramatic difference is a little weird; like Class A has already experienced a number of "real-world" things, and as for learning the basics of fighting (etc) isn't that what school is for? Like, the only additional experience a hero internship could seemingly give is direct conflict with villains, but most villains are kinda scrub-tier and could already be defeated by Class A (as shown in the USJ arc). I think I'm overthinking things.

In an internship, they'd probably get a lot more one on one coaching from someone who might have a quirk that's similar in how it can be used as opposed to the more general training a teacher can offer a whole class at once. Think Deku's training with Gran Torino, but long term.

I think the fact that these three are supposed to be so good that they're not only good among UA students, but also good even among top pro heroes, helps make things more convincing. Given the nature of quirks, it isn't that inconceivable that someone could vault to the top while still in high school with a combination of a strong quirk and good work ethic*. If Togata is supposed to literally be as good as a top 10 pro hero, it isn't that strange that he could clown the entire class like that. *See - lots of real-life athletes
