Either way, it annoys me a ton because you've got people like Hagakure and Koda who do jack poo poo in their fights while everyone in 1-B gets to contribute in some way every round. Four 1-A students. Froppy, Uravity, Red Riot, and Deku.

Well, USJ was "real world experience" to an extent too, that all of 1-A actually was awake and there for. Not everyone did as much in that either, of course, but it was 1-A facing off against real villains, and was a pretty big deal in-comic back then.

I think the only one in 1A who actually got hurt at USJ was Deku, so aside from a couple days to a week off for police reports/recovery I don't even think USJ would have cut into their training or class time that much.

I mean, he's a giant badass, but I don't think a Quirkless person can do much in that kind of situation...  :Also Lizard Tail Girl's name is Tokage Setsuna. Which reminds me, she's not the first person we've seen with the Tokage last name, a minor character from Vigilantes is called Tokage Raputo. That said, this seems to be a coincidence, since their last names are written differently, 取と蔭 vs 十日夏.

Even with the couple examples ppl are listing, I still don't see this being really shown in the writing. The powerful people in Class B haven't been doing super next level galaxy brain moves or whatever, they just have strong powers that they're using well. You could argue that they're doing a better job of setting up formations quickly and Class A is having to react to that, but that hasn't really been discussed yet or shown very thoroughly. Maybe it'll come together in a larger analysis of the matches at the end, but it doesn't feel yet like they're handling things differently

I feel like Monoma's utility is going to decrease the longer the series goes. Presumably he'll only be able to access a basic level of a quirk, not the stuff you can do after intense training. So, yeah, he can alternate quirks to stay versatile, but he won't be able to do the secret moves that all the students are pulling out now.

I think he would do well finding a small but versatile team and sticking with them, becoming well versed in their quirks. Quirks are so unique that it's very rare to be able to actually teach someone the best way to use them, so he'd be in a uniquely privileged position in that context. "Okay Monoma this is what I've found to be the best way to use this quirk", stuff like that.

With the way everyone else's quirks have been shown to improve since the Sports Festival, I bet we'll find out that Monoma can now either use quirks for longer than 5 minutes(which would give him more time to get familiar and skilled with his classmate's quirks) or he'll gain the ability to use multiple quirks at once(which would basically make him a mini All For One).

Probably will not be addressed, but I can't stop thinking about all the bacteria she'd get inside her body by splitting into all those pieces all the time. There's a reason we are so careful about sterility in operating rooms.

A reminder that the sand hero.dude escorting Overhaul to the hospital was straight up killed because half of his mass got compressed wgile he was sand. Presumably it would be equally lethal for lizard girl.

Most likely just a piece according to the rules that Vlad was lawyering. Ojiro was literally restraining Pony when she shoved them both into her teams cage at which point he had to release her and accept his confinement.

Actually, he was killed because he was trapped in a tiny ball with Dabi's fire and couldn't turn all of his body into sand, so he got burned to death in there, if I recall correctly. That said, Aizawa looking at Tokage while she's using her powers would probably be super bad for her, yeah.

I imagine it would simply disable her ability to control her pieces with no other harmful effects, because this would be a super loving dark manga if it just straight up killed her.

I never really understood the "Quirk Factor" explanation in the Overhaul arc, so I have no idea if it would work that way. But it would be pretty bitchin'.

You see, there's these little bacteria that live in everyone's blood, and if you have a lot of them you can use *checks notes* ... your quirk.

This. Aizawa's quirk turns off the "quirk factor" that allows people to activate and use their quirks. If doesn't affect body transformation type quirks so for example Bakugou's sweat would still be nitroglycerin but he would not be able to ignite it to blow stuff up. Tokage's body is not bleeding everywhere and she has no trouble living when it's separated now so it wouldn't happen under Aizawa's influence either. She would just lose the ability to further separate and all of her parts would fall down since she wouldn't be able to make them fly around anymore.

Nice showing from Bakugo. 1-B based their whole plan on him being an rear end in a top hat who no-one can work well with, which was a major mistake, since only half of that is still true. Been a while since we were reminded just how dangerous King Explosion Murder is, and it's nice to know he hasn't been slacking.

This one wasn't much of a surprise. Bakugo wins, that's just his thing. He also won in a good way, that showcased how much he had grown. There wasn't much focus on Jiro, Sero and...uh...Sugar man?, but they were shown to be competent with using their power and trusting Bakugo, so that's nice. Also lol, if Momo's team will be the only loss for class A.

God, this chapter would loving rule if I wasn't forced to compare it to the last two rounds. I get it, Bakugou's the fighting wunderkind, so I can't be TOO mad that he can take out an entire team nearly singlehandedly. The others basically just backed him up while he did everything. A legitimate strategy, sure! But aggravating since it amounted to "free Bakugo from one trap and then fight one guy (that Bakugo could have taken out anyway once he finished defeating the other two)." It just becomes a bit annoying to see them win so effortlessly against more impressive quirks (compared to the last two 1-B teams) AND a recommended student (not that that matters given the existence of Yao) just because Bakugou is OP and their teamwork is somehow flawless because he said "hey let's support each other" before the fight. Wish the other teams had thought of that. Oh and they somehow discerned Tokage's whole quirk based on the most vague of evidences. Not that it mattered since she was fighting solo at the end anyway. Meanwhile team Yaoyorozu fought against significantly worse quirks (minus one throaty mushroom) and they got demolished because 3/4 of the team haven't learned a thing all year. I'm not even angry because Yao and Tokoyami lost despite the former deserving better and the latter being cheated, it's just all the more infuriating that in particular Hagakure and Aoyama were so completely wasted when Sugar Man of all people finally gets to contribute (even if it's one thing, but it's punching apart steel so it's a pretty cool thing.) At least the story had the guts to pretend Ojiro and Shoji were being useful last round. I think I just need to let the last two battles go and get back to enjoying the story with the acceptance that the cast is just too big for everyone to be treated fairly. If they had reordered the battles so that we didn't get two really disappointing results sandwiched between two great rounds maybe it wouldn't feel so bad.

A good fight IMO even if I think Sato could've done a bit more but eh- there's not much you could do with the guy that wouldn't involve him really beating the poo poo out of someone and that somehow would look worse (I mean, meaner/nastier) than anime-hatchmark explosions. This is the closest thing to a real fight Bakugou has had in a zillion chapters so of course he's going to utterly loving murk 1-B; his entire thing is being extremely good at fighting. 1-B would've been correct about their strategy probably a scant couple of months ago in-world; Bakugou absolutely would've just told the group to follow him and do his own thing the entire time while everyone else flailed to work around him.
