Bakugo really never gave them a second to think.

Unlike everyone else he just went straight fucking at it, nonstop like a juggernaut.

No low, no low!

Nope, I'm still maintaining that Class B sucks for not being able to handle him.

Though I got say, I am kind of disappointed that Bakugo didn't really show off anything new. Like, character development and all, but it doesn't seem like he didn't do anything he couldn't before. That's kind of a letdown.

But for the final round, I actually am really interested in what the three from Class B whose Quirks we don't know can do, and I hope Ochaco and Mina get some good moments too.

Just remember. I didn't used to be the pessimistic one.

I learned it from you Tv Tropes! I learned it from you!

I do want to say that the scenario sounds plausible. I'd like to see it.

He did do a bit here with Momo (and Kendo to a lesser extent), so maybe this will be Uravity's time to shine!

They haven't been clear on how the process actually works.

I assume it's the sort of thing Japanese readers are thought to already be familiar with, which is probably why it hasn't gotten that much elaboration.

Edit: But during the flashback with Inasa and Shoto, they said there was a written portion, then they had to do a three kilometer race, and the last part was apparently a personal interview.

I believe the candidates were scouted. Though I'm betting Shouto being the child of an alumnus had something to do with it.

I mean both sides acknowledged speed will win the battle. Bakugou is one of the fastest kids because of how he uses explosions. This is the kind of fight where he thrives.

All Monoma does is brag and eat humble pie but sure another slice will probably be the thing that fixes him

I feel like he’s gonna try really hard next match.

Like he’s not even gonna brag, he’s just gonna go full serious, SERIOUS mode.

I still maintain he's going to be so obsessed with beating Class A, he'll actually forget about the actual objective.

I do have to say I find it funny that people were upset that Todoroki didn't just solo everyone in his round, and while that isn't what happened here it was pretty close. Meanwhile, Izuku is very unlikely to dominate as much either.

Bakugo is apparently Horikoshi's favorite character...

Well he is the "incarnation of victory", so he's not allowed to lose apparently :V

It does kind of make you wonder where Bakugo will go as a fighter though; Midoriya and Todoroki still have plenty of room for growth on their abilities, while Bakugo is seemingly already at the top of his game when it comes to fighting.

Like you said, he hasn't even learned any new techniques. So...where does he go from here.

Nah he wrote Bakugou as the worst intentionally early on for a reason.

As Deku himself said he sees Bakugou as the Symbol of Victory, and so Bakugou is exactly that. Sometimes the victory is hollow. Rarely its not, which this match is.

Todoroki on the other hand doesn't have the level of battle instincts Bakugou does. Instead using pure brute force and strategy to dominate foes, and has faults with using both his quirks near simultaneously. I could even say Endeavors "training" for him as a kid actually hampered his ability to fight better.

I can think of places for him to go, but it's odd to me the series hasn't really done anything with them.

Although, the same thing could be said of Todoroki.

[up][up] He wrote him the worst in terms of personality and attitude, not battle prowess. That's what we're focusing on right now.

If he's already at the top of his game in terms of battle prowess, I'm curious on what it means for him going forward. Will he develop new techniques or are his current abilities enough to beat every threat going forward.

[up] I guess Hori feels like Bakugo is already a perfect fighter, so he focuses more on his personality and attitude development than his fighting abilities.

Todoroki is obviously being setup to go learn something from Endeavor on how to develop his Fire better, which will probably lead into the whole Touya situation.

That was in response to Bakugou being his favorite. When he wanted him to be someone people, including himself, would dislike early on. Though of course the obliviously nice guy who doesnt notice his actions he initially thought up was worse.

I dunno, the fact that he's good at almost everything but social skills. I wouldn't really be surprised if Bakugo was his favorite character to write though, he does tend to steal whatever scene hes' in for better or worse.

The favorite to write can definitely be different from favorite, so I wouldnt be surprised if he had fun writing him and his facial reactions.

Reminder that Kubo's favorite character was Mayuri because he was the most fun to draw.

I mean, I'd imagine a character you like to write for would count as your favorite overall yea :V

[up] And Kishimoto's favorite was Sasu-......wait

That was incorrect from what Ive understand. Shikamaru was his favorite. Sasuke consumed the story with Uchihas because of his editors.

I mean unless we got a statement, we're just going off air.

But yea, I guess whether you enjoyed this chapter or not depends mostly on if you like Bakugo or not. If you do, then hey you get to see him ASSERT HIS DOMINANCE. If you don't...well...at least you get to see Deku's fight sooner?

[up][up]I think I know what video that is.

[up]I'll be honest, I haven't really been having a problem with individual fight lengths, but I do kind of like one of them being over much faster than the others.

Bakugo is so good that he sped up his fight so we can go past this arc sooner. Thank you Bakugo.
