My Hero Academia

I would hope so, that would get dark quickly.

Kid Bakugō: "Eat this, shitty Deku! SUICIDE BOMB!!"

Kid Izuku: "Wait, wha-"

KA-SPLASH!

...Well, that's a page topper.

I mean, I don't doubt that when they were kids, there were a couple of times when Bakugou went too far with his quirk and gave Izuku some pretty nasty injuries, just not anything bad enough to leave lasting scars.

Young Bakugou wouldn't have the same self control that the Bakugou of the present does, or even the middle school Bakugou.

Although I have seen more than a few fanarts of little Bakugou with bloody, singed palms because his body hasn't adapted to his quirk yet.

Bakugo's explosions as a little kid were really small. Hopefully, he did calm down on more brutal things once he really started growing up.

I'm suddenly reminded of that Bakugo gif that was a Bakugo household version of that scene we see if Inko playing with little Izuku. Little Katsuki blows the door down on top of his mom.

I feel like if the characters didn't have exxagerated strength and speed unrelated to their quirk, things would be a lot harder to justify.

Bloodcurdle isn't that good a quirk, so if Stain wasn't able to keep up with Deku and Todoroki physically he'd be way easier to defeat.

So... had Tomura being incomplete lead to him possibly dying, how different do you think the War arc would've gone if he had died?

No High Ends for one. Presumably harder to restrain Machia?

Well, most of the trouble right now has been caused by All For One's consciousness inside him, so I assume that it likely would have meant that everything after this really would have been clean-up. Granted, we'd probably get still get fallout from the Dabi revelation and the sheer bodycount of all this, but it's difficult to say how that's going to play out anyway at this time. One might even say that Tomura's escape will allow for heroes to make a comeback in some way, while Tomura dying doesn't actually do much to alleviate the major issues?

Everything would pretty much be falling action, I know that much.

Things would have gone a lot smoother for the heroes. That's it. That question has a very obvious answer.

No Shigaraki waking up means a third of Jaku City along with who knows how many heroes and possibly civilians not dying. It means Machia doesn't go on a rampage through 20 cities.

I mean there's still Gigantomachia and possibly the high end noumu who could very well cause a lot of damage, especially if he learns Shigaraki is dead. There would be the question of who would take over since Shigaraki is dead.

Edit: Forgot about that, still there's still the issue of Dabi's reveal.

Another question is that had Midnight survived (Most likely with injuries) how would she handle the fallout of the arc? Like how Endeavor's abuse was revealed or the damage Gigantomachia created.

How do you expect the High-Ends to do anything if Shigarki is dead? They were only activated because he activated them. Take him out of the equation and they're no different from corpses in this scenario.

And why would Machia find out that Shigaraki is dead? Containing him would still be an issue, but it's just a fact that he only went on his rampage because Shigarki order him to do so. Take that away, and you really have no reason to expect something similar to happen.

And is how Midnight would have taken things really a question? We didn't usually get her view on things in-depth to begin with.

Edited by LSBK on Jan 20th 2021 at 6:50:16 AM

Well, other than her opinion, Midnight would likely be forced to rest from her injuries like the majority of the pro-heroes injured in this arc. So you're right in that it's not really much of a question.

Going to another topic... which pro-hero would likely be deadly with One for All? I had Mirko at the top of my head but there's also Aizawa who's quirk would likely get him a good hit in.

I'd imagine any. If you're competent enough with your quirk as is to do a dangerous job, then you're going to be more suitable with said quirk enhanced.

Still, depending on how big a boost OFA is, they might need some retraining to be able to handle small stuff.

This is from awhile back but there was talk about where the League would fit into the Tartarus system. So I think it bears remember that Villains are apparently ranked on how dangerous they are on a letter system.

Shigaraki, Gigantomachia, and Twice (after overcoming his trauma) were all ranked as "S" the worst one, so presumably they'd all be sent to the lowest level. Probably not the best thing for Twice given his mental issues, even setting aside the apparent tendency for human rights abuses at Tartarus.

The other members of the League and the PLF were spread out in how dangerous they were considered.

Bit concerned that we haven't seen Kaminari since he got smacked out of the sky by a giant hunk of debris. I'm sure he's okay, but it's a little worrying.

Maybe people will stop whining if Kaminari dies

You give people too much credit.

Yeah. You're premise fails at "Maybe people will stop whining"

Ok, but can somebody check on the kid? I think he's got a concussion. And his brain is already addled enough as it is.

I honestly don't understand why you'd think he has a concussion from that, because this is fiction, and so many characters would be dead or have concussions if this worked like real life.

Plus, we did see Kaminari after getting smacked out of the air. Yanagi from Class B caught him, and he made a comment about her "lappillow". He'll be fine.

Edited by LSBK on Jan 22nd 2021 at 1:31:27 PM

Yeah, Denki's gonna be fine if that's the scene where he was last seen.

You should be worried more about Fat Gum and Tamaki, who were trying to stop the rampaging Machia the last time they are seen.

Edited by ShiningStardust on Jan 23rd 2021 at 3:14:12 AM

No reason to be worried about them either. If they weren't included in that page of deaths, the assumption is that they're alive into given a reason to think otherwise.

That's not really reassuring considering Gran Torino wasn't on the list of deaths either and he's more than likely dying, and that Nighteye didn't die on the battlefield, but died in the hospital. It's entirely possibly Fatgum and Tamaki are fighting for their lives right now on life support and could flatline at any minute.

I'd say Nighteye and likely Gran Torino are entirely different beasts from Tamaki and Fatgum.

The former two have connections to the Izuku and especially All Might, that could be used to milk drama. Tamaki and Fatgum just aren't prominent enough themselves nor (more importantly, I think) do they have connections with anyone prominent enough that I find it likely Horikoshi would intentionally stretch out their deaths for a hospital scene, instead of just telling us they're dead and then having any characters close to them (like Kirishima or Mirio) react to it later.

I know I keep saying this, but the assumption should be that characters are alive, until explicitly shown or stated otherwise. Like, in the same chapter we get confirmation of Midnight dying, we get three other characters (Pixie-bob, Wash, and 13) being shown to have survived despite almost everyone writing them off. And 13's case is especially notable given the position we last saw her in.
