My Hero Academia

There is a slight problem with this, physics wise though.

Cos the equations that say nothing with mass can travel at the speed of light? Also say that anything without mass has to.

We're still talking about a verse where a guy can just materialize large quantities of ice from nothing, and another one can create sentient copies of living beings.

I know, I'm just pointing out that saying she removes mass causes as many problems as it solves.

Her quirk is already stated as being physics breaking.

Can Uraraka affect the mass of ice that easily though?

Discussing actual physics when superpowers is around isn't going to get anywhere.

The problem isn't that it breaks physics; pretty much all the quirks do in some fashion. The problem is that the explanation of how her quirk works is inconsistent with what we've seen it do. I've never seen it officially defined as anything other than the ability to nullify gravity, but we've seen her do things with it gravity nullification wouldn't be able to do without some other ability being in play.

The Laws of Physics are for the weak.

I've never gotten why people are so focused on the inconsistencies with her power, it's not like she's the only one.

I don't really get what's so hard to accept that Horikoshi either doesn't know (or more likely ) doesn't care about the inconsistencies when they get in the way of doing the story/fights the way he wants. Most writers are probably the same. It's kind of a part of writing superhero/superpower fiction.

I think the other stuff her quirk does besides nullifying gravity may count as Required Secondary Powers.

So the next poll is this week. Predictions.

That would be my thought as well.

Since it's probably gonna be leaked in a few hours, might as well make a prediction for the top 25:

1-Bakugo 2-Todoroki 3-Deku 4-Hawks 5-Kirishima 6-Endeavor 7-Ida 8-Uraraka 9-Shinsho 10-Shigaraki 11-All Might 12-Aizawa 13-Yaoyorozu 14-Kaminari 15-Monoma 16-Best Jeanist 17-Toga 18-Tokoyami 19-Tsuyu 20-Dabi 21-Present Mic 22-Komori 23-Ojiro 24-Jiro 25-Sero

Some are pretty wild, but then I can boast more if they happen.

Shigaraki has never been that high, so I wonder how much his arc affected people

I’ll make the guess that Toga & Twice get a boost.

That's the thing, the poll happened in August, so around the end of the villain arc.

I imagine the fangirl votes inflating even further beyond

If it weren't so recent, I'd say that thing Bakugo stabbed Deku with last week in the top ten.

It was obvious that Uraraka's powers break physics as soon as she threw a softball out of the solar system. Being able to turn off gravity is right up there with Winds of Destiny, Change! in terms of approaching Reality Warping.

Oh shit the movies coming out next week....... on the same day as Star Wars.

I wonder which will win the box office in Japan. They don't have the same Americans Hate Tingle reaction to Star Wars as the rest of Asia, but anime movies like this tend to do really well.

Well its kind of a crowded box office.

Like Frozen is till number 1 over there.

Oh, yeah, forgot about that. Yeah, nothing's beating Frozen in Japan.

Also the new Lupin the 3rd movie just came out & we don't know how strong its legs are.

So yeah it's a pretty crowded Japanese theater.

Apparently these are the results of the poll.
