It seems more like standard "This guy Deku's up against? Yeah. He's good." setup to me. Since Deku beat him already, you have to put some back into it if you're going to try to sell him as a threat again.

Probably why he’s fighting twice too. He can lose and still look good if he went over once beforehand.

the class that wins with him on their team will keep him

My best guess is that Shinso's attitude of 'You're all obstacles for me' is going to lead to him messing up because he's not working with his team or getting overconfident. I could see him losing this round due to that and then winning the last round after learning his lesson. Or he wins this and gets a big head causing him to do the whole 'why don't I just control my entire team' thing someone mentioned.

Because anyone dissing friendship in a shonen just has to go down. :colbert:

I feel like he'll pass round 1, lose round 2 due to Deku, but have a good showing.

EDIT: more than likely in Round 2 he won't be the one captured.

i'm thinking class b takes 3 wins to class a's 2, and both times shinsou is on the winning team

and monoma's power grows

Nephthys

At the moment for me round 1 is a toss-up depending on how the story goes with Shinso.

I think that 1-b is going to win round 2. Mushroom girl can probably Stun Spore them, Black is probably a direct counter to at least Aoyama and Hagakure, Kendo may just overwhelm Momo in pure melee and I'm betting Comic guy's hilariously broken. I can't see 1-a's team as being that cohesive. They also all have something to do with light (Momo's flashbangs), which Black may just counter.

They may win round 3 as well just because Todoroki getting humbled seems to be the theme these days. We don't really know enough about the capabilities of the non-Tetsutetsu 1-b guys to really call it. If anything I'd say their unknown abilities may be why they win tbh. Melty-guy may counter Todoroki's ice. I want Pony to kill at least 1 person.

I want Bakago to lose but he probably won't. Sato is useless but the combo of Sero's tapes and Jirou's sonic blasts could be very effective for takedowns and give them range which 1-b's team lacks. Conversely Weldboys quirk doesn't seem good for 1-on-1's but may be good for taking people totally out of the fight along with Glue Ghost. Lizard Boy and Girl are wildcards.

Round 5 is another toss-up.

Super-duper strongly recommend watching today's episode in the anime, it's a special lead-in to the movie and it's great even if you're not planning on watching the movie itself.

I really hope Momo doesn't lose just by being overwhelmed in melee again after all the growth that resulted from that happening last time. She needs an actual win, and she needs to display the ability to think on her feet in a fight.

I'm betting that round 5 will somehow end in a draw or otherwise be called off due to some kind of crazyness, leaving the final score at 2-2.

Maybe it’ll get called off after Monoma copies OfA and his limbs explode. Humbling him as he cries in frint of both classes like a baby who had their binky stolen. Maybe even have it go dark and literally having him lose an arm permanently because his vessel is just too weak.

But if Monoma loses his arms, how will he pose? The world does not deserve to be robbed of such a treasure.

I think we're due for Monoma to take his weird grudge against 1-A too far and either accidentally or purposely seriously injure another student. At which point he'll either turn a corner and chill out a bit, or he finally snaps and goes full psycho.

monoma is comic relief and will remain that way until he has to actually step up and do something other than give his classmates the heebie-jeebies

not for nothing is he squared up against a team whose most prominent face is mineta

a lot of MHA's villains are essentially anarchists, but that's mostly because they've either chafed under the overwhelming threat of All Might or the overwhelming control of masterminds like All for One

the League of Villains seems too elitist to form a guild (see: Dabi crisping up lower-level villains for shits and giggles) but there might be someone else willing to step up, like Overhaul but less terrible

That post went quite well, I think.
Monoma is going to copy Deku's quirk and there will be exactly 1 panel of tension and Deku will be super worried and then Monoma will throw a huge punch to absolutely no effect, since he's only stockpiled 5 minutes of his own strength instead of 7 generations of it.

Most people don't know about Deku's new ranged attacks, right? It would be cool is the B team went in thinking they'd be fighting Deku head on, only for him to act as the team sniper.

Depending on how good his aim is, he could probably shoot off Shinso's voice modulator.

They know he has a ranged attack but they have no idea he can spam it without tearing himself apart.

also because recovery girl needs new boys to kiss

I also want to see Deku awkwardly trying to comfort Monoma while he's writhing in pain.

As hilarious as exploding Monoma would be, I think everyone thinking Deku's power being "great strength but also fucks you up so much you are basically incapacitated" would make him balk at stealing that one.

I do love how Monoma started as a legit threatening rival figure but then did nothing but flail around like a buffoon until he became a gag character that not even his classmates take seriously nowadays.

Monoma is the Bakugou of Class B, is what I'm saying.

Bakugou has a genuine friend who likes him in spite of his many faults, I'm not sure Monoma has even that.

monoma's pretty clever and his quirk is crazy useful if applied right, but he's also a bitter histrionic lunatic who doesn't even have bakugo's track record of limited self-improvement

his classmates probably recognize him as an asset but i get the feeling there are at least two open spaces around him at all times at the lunch table

Monoma is only a weird jerk to 1-A, he's probably a perfectly decent person to be around most of the time.
