Bakugo is going to find out and absolutely destroy hawks, and he'll get his heroname "start" named chapter (rather than "bakugo's start" at the end of the fight when he stops himself from taking revenge and gets him thrown to the legal system and disgraced from herodom instead.

Shadowlyger posted:Isn't fire like that in basically every manga not named Fullmetal Alchemist? Pretty much! It's just confirmation that Hawks having a lot of really bad visible burns means that Dabi absolutely roasted him, because "person has visible fire injuries in a shonen manga" is code for "holy poo poo they got toasted".

That pun doesn't work in Japanese.

Professorjuggalo posted:Mirko dying here woulda kinda sucked after she pulled off the best showing of any top 3 hero since all might was around She's not top three. (Although Hawks and Endeavor have been putting in some good showings, to be fair.) Mirko's all the way down at number 5. Of course, the thing about her fifth place position is that, a year ago, she wasn't even in tenth. And she didn't get the big hideout raid boost. Seems like Mirko's been on a (rip and) tear lately.

You're also trying to imply that a shonen manga wouldn't make something in English to sound cool. Like, I'm pretty sure people there are familiar with the word "dynamite"

They also speak All Might in essentially english, so you just gotta give it some extra explosionmurder inflection and you're good.

I mean this isn't even an anime thing. Firebenders are useless unless offscreen. And the Human Torch doesn't constantly maim people.

Lightning also tends to very quickly reach a cap in shows that have people throwing it around often. Aside from Avatar and Static Shock, I suppose.

I think Railgun does electric powers well, but you can always wave your hands and say some Esper Capital Letter Nouns if you need to bullshit in the Indexverse.

Abilities tend to scale based on how common they are and how important the characters using them are. Fire in Avatar was something every mook could do, so it was a mild irritant to most people since getting lit on fire happened every other episode. Meanwhile, lightning was the unique trick for the final villains, so it got to stay devastating, only getting toned down in the sequel show. It's why Dabi can burn a dozen people alive in seconds when they're nameless mooks, but important characters only get lightly singed.

What's the Magic Curie temperature of a person? Who knows, but the lowest Curie temperature of most common permanent magnets is like 320C. It makes sense not to address it.

I don't think every ability needs to be munchinked to hell and back and compleyely wrung out like that to be well-written or interesting. The characters and story are more important. That said, if you're gonna have a character just stand around and be a prop, and use their power being too strong or hard to write around as an excuse, why give them that power in the first place.

Thinking on it Bleach of all things might be the shonen that treated fire most seriously, if only because fire was reserved for Captain Genocide.
