Bakugou's cursing fits him really. Also, I hope copycat kid doesn't touch Midoriya. I have a feeling that wouldn't end very well for him.

TriffTshngo posted:Well sure I mean obviously he should have some character growth, I just meant I don't want him to do the shonen rival thing of starting off hostile and eventually just being buds with everyone because that kind of ruins what's unique about him compared to your Sasukes and Piccolos and the like.

Bakugou's powers are anime explosions, meaning you can beat people up with them and knock them out and the results are crosshatches and smoke rather than say 3rd degree burns and dismemberment.

You'd think that All Might would maybe try to train Midoriya a bit more in-person since very slightly loving up with the use of his power leads to death and dismemberment but then I think it's been like...a month, month and a half since school even started?

Your average kid would've literally murdered the mooks back during the villain attack with a background like Todoroki's. Kind of a hosed up twist, but I'm more happy someone besides frog girl noticed that Midoriya's power isn't just super strength, but exactly like All Might's particular brand of it. I just like it when writers actually bother to deal with the obvious poo poo that you're supposed to suspend disbelief over ("hurr why can't anyone tell that Clark Kent is Superman with glasses on??"). As for a tournament arc... Yeah I like em but Midoriya is likely not coming out on top considering his control of his power extends to "not totally maiming myself when I swing at the air". He can't open up a can on anyone since they'll loving DIE, and he can't dial it down to anime knockout power.

I imagine Midoriya will get to do some near OnePunchMan demonstration of his power and shock the crowd since it has been made clear the villains are watching too.

Or how Superman's identity was used for building OTHER characters. Like Lex Luthor hiring a computer scientist to use data analysis to determine his identity, which she correctly figures is Clark Kent. Lex rejects this though since he can't comprehend someone of Superman's power having an identity that doesn't let him exert or take advantage of the obvious power and influence he has.

To be fair we haven't seen just how strong his tail is. If it's like gorilla-arm type strong he's probably better in a straight-up fight than around half the class.

Raws are out and the tournament line up is decided; matchups are interesting to say the least.

# ¿ Feb 26, 2015 22:43 |

Remember that after this final event, the winner(s) (multiple people I imagine) go on to compete in an open series of events with the sophomore and senior classes. That's the only reason I think Midoriya doesn't get knocked out of the tournament, but I really just can't see him making it to the end the more I look at it. He's going to HAVE to blast someone.

tsob posted:You don't think the main character of this shonen manga is going to win the tournament his mentor has tasked him with as a goal to win so as to announce his presence to the world as a step in following his dream and making him the public successor to said mentor? Seriously? Even if the probable match-ups for Deku don't work out so that all his rivals look set to fight him in succession that'd be a dumb assertion given the genre. As is though, the break down looks like it'll be Deku facing off against mind control jerk from another class (the only non-rival in the bunch, then Todoroki, Iida and finally Bakugou. Which is just far to clean a run through all declared rivals to not work out even if his winning wasn't an important step in making himself All Might's successor.

Newfound resolve aside Midoriya initially didn't give a poo poo about the tournament since he correctly told All Might himself that 1) he's not into heroism to get famous, 2) doesn't give 1/5th of a poo poo about being scouted because he's already in possession of one of the most powerful quirks on earth and under the tutelage of the #1 hero. It's just that him winning seems too obvious I guess that bugs me. Unless the tournament gets interrupted but uggghhh I hope they don't do that.

Midoriya defeating all of his rivals in one tournament seems a bit much, but remember that whoever wins (or maybe the top 3-4?) go onto the final games where all the winners in all 3 years of classes participate.

Also his powers are specifically mentioned to damage his body if used too intensely/too long. That does not seem to be the case with his dad unless he thinks that severe burns are really loving rad and worth having flame beard constantly.

It seems like he just baited him into the range of his ability; pissing him off so he wasn't focused was just gravy. Oh well, here's hoping something badass happens. Maybe mind control guy will accidentally cause Midoriya to go SSJ or w/e the gently caress since "mental images" and focus seem to be the key behind controlling One For All. It'd be nice to see him really kick rear end at least once during this thing.

Uraraka winning would be a good subversion of expectations. I mean, everyone is literally openly worrying that Bakugou is going to curbstomp her really badly- badly enough that having someone who can instantly heal people on standby doesn't make it okay. Hopefully she at least gets to put on a good show. A win would be cool but it'll be kind of a bummer if Bakugou just fucks her up really bad.

The author said something about not having explained what her power really is yet I think? So it's not just "She's invisible" apparently.

Spoilers/early scans are out. Like seriously if you're one of those people who're triggered by spoilers kindly avoid the black bars. Like really, right there. The bars. _________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Bakugou pretty much kicks the poo poo out of Uraraka, to the point he gets booed by the crowd. It's not BRUTAL, and if I'm interpreting it right she makes a pretty brilliant use of her power.

Bakugou kinda has a Vegeta frenemy thing going minus the fact he's not a jobber yet. I'm rooting for this series since it kinda gives me this feeling it won't relegate the ancillary characters to jobbers or mook cleanup detail whenever the inevitable "Mysterious Stupidly-named Coalition of villains" with everyone's opposite number start showing up one after another.

Dunno why I thought of this while looking at him but Endeavor is one of those characters that would probably end up looking like poo poo when animated outside of fight scenes where the animation budget is lower, due to the constant fire effect.

Thankfully this is a mostly upbeat shounen because "I'm going to become a hero and make a whole bunch of money to give my parents the life they deserve!" is deathflaggy as gently caress as far as ancillary character motivations go.

Midoriya becoming a gigantic chiseled silhouette would be weird but at least a bit more original than some sort of SSJ-Junior sort of thing which is what I keep imagining will happen. e: regarding Bakugou I thought it was interesting he was initially annoyed at Midoriya for "telling her" to basically facetank his explosions.

I don't really see how he can win without suddenly being able to use just enough power to not maim himself, on every part of his body. I mean they could go with the gimmick being that he keeps hurting himself every fight and progressively gets more and more exhausted being healed over and over again but one of the commentators is the guy who basically said he'd expel him if he kept blowing his limbs to pieces.
