Okay? So since you don't think any of the proposed theories are viable, what do you think everyone is gonna do?

I’m interested in what that mantis looking motherfucker is gonna do.

[up][up]I mean, I don't know. We don't even know what two of them can do, and as I've been saying, the two we do know something about aren't suited for the situation.

But to me, that they aren't suited for the situation just makes thinking about what they'll do more interesting.

Edit: I do feel like Awase's best usage would probably be trying to weld members of Team A together. I feel like that's going to happen at least once.

FWIW Mineta could presumably put his balls in the cell, to make sure anyone they capture isn't escaping

[up]That'd be smart, but it seems like they aren't allowed to escape anyway. Once they're in, they're in.

Just realized we're dealing with a mantis guy both in the current main story and in the current Illegals.

Immobilize all but one opponent, gang up on the one remaining and win with 1-0. Easy peasy.

[up][up]What's happening in Illegals with a mantis guy?

Also, for why "glue them and come back for them latter" wouldn't be a good idea, except for Sero, all of the A Team have Quirks they could use to probably break out of the glue. Assuming Bakugo, Sato, or Jiro wouldn't be able to escape would not be a safe assumption, I think.

[up]Things like that are easy to say, usually not actually easy to do.

Mantis guy was permanently transformed by the latest version of the trigger drug. His sanity returned, but he's no longer able to live in normal people apartments. Apparently there's special housing for people who have inconvenient body shapes/sizes but as always with public housing, it takes months/years to actually get in. Also, TMI about how mantis guy excretes waste.

At the very least I expect him to be able to pull those tusks of his out of his head to use as swords. I'd be open to there being more to it than that, though.

My thoughts on the utility of certain Quirks aside, I actually am pretty interested in seeing what all of B Team can do.

I have a soft spot for Bondo - I'm mystified thinking about how his....everything works. And I want to see Awase's costume in full because even just the partial shots look awesome.

And we've waited to find out who the final recommended student is for so long I want this to be a great debut for Setsuna.

And Kamakiri also looks pretty cool. As I said, I imagine he'll be the main fighter of the team.

So, any ideas about new moves Bakugo might have?

Creating a tiny explosion that turns into massive numerous bigger explosions!

The main draw of this arc for me is finally seeing how Class 1-B's Quirks actually work.

His secret forbidden technique will be butt sweat. But he'll only pull it out when things are desperate because it makes him look like he's farting and Bakugou doesn't think fart jokes are funny and also because it rips the butt out of his pants and Bakugou doesn't think butts are funny.

How about him pulling a combo with Kaminari during the exercise? splash his sweat on a targeted location and have Kaminari ignite it with one of the electro-disks as a primed explosive for later opportunity.

Is it allowed to blow up the other team's jail during the match as a way to ensure victory? Can't win a capture game if there's no jail to put the opponents after all...

Interesting idea, but Kaminari’s already had his turn.

I forgot about that...

"Sigh"

Give me a moment to check the chapter first and do some inventory.

(Available: Explosive sweat, a sugar hulk with limited supplies, a sticky supply of tape and a walking boom box with ignition sparks for earlobes...)

Let's have Jirou detonate the sweat then by hitting the ear jacks together, form a spark, and blow the jail to smithereens once Sero tape and pull her back as a lifeline before it blows, with added pull by the sugar hulk to ensure she doesn't get caught in the blast.

(The bomb in question? One of Bakugou's fully loaded gauntlets. Just drop a spark inside of its opening and BOOM, jail is history.)

That is one scenario possible with the quirks at disposal here.

(If this path is chosen that is.)

The movie actually had a scene where Todoroki ignited some of Bakugo's sweat to blow up a guy whose Quirk lets him pull stuff to him, but it wasn't a premeditated plan on either Bakugo's or Todoroki's part.

Anyway, there haven't been a lot of combo moves have there? I guess the impromptu nature of the situation makes that understandable. But I feel like we'll see some in the fifth round, since Mina brought it up.
