Yeah, I already said that in my initial post.
My complaint is the same as Buff's. Why did he have to grab only one band? It would've been easier to grab all or at least a few of them because they were already bunched up.Originally Posted by shinta|hikari
Peace.
Would be harder to pull off multiple at the same time -- more resistance.
Not for Midorya. Rip that fuckers head clean off!!
Neither of them are weak enough to be hindered by cloth strips...
Peace.
Episode 19
----------------------------------
What a dumb fuck. No one is that dumb. The writer just had to do that because:
-Mr Hypnosis has to show off his power
-Ojiro has to talk about his power as a commentary from the grand stand
-Ojiro not telling Deku would appear mean, so he had to
-So the only way for the trap to work despite Ojiro giving advice was to make Deku into a dumbfuck speak.
Deku's one of the most intelligent, strategic minds in this show. The writer fucked up. All so Deku can walk to the edge of the stage and break hypnosis with sheer will.
If it's not Isuzu-chan Mii~
Negatory.
Deku responding to one of his friends being insulted, especially for an honorable act, is perfectly in line with his character. Deku isn't going to stand still to that kind of shit. He finds value in everyone, because he's been that quirkless loser, and hates that kind of elitist stance. He got baited, because jerkface knows how to get under the skin of someone self-righteous like Deku.
Deku is smart, that's true, but he's also extremely emotional.
Emotional huh?
Ojiro gives him a rundown on the dude's quirk. Deku then spends an hr or so thinking about how to deal with this (as Deku does).
The guy then shits on your friend, and the first thing you do is speak? You had one job.
That's like.. cerebrum-can't-suppress-your-midbrain emotional. I call that being a dumbfuck, and it isn't Deku. Bakugo maybe.
If it's not Isuzu-chan Mii~
That's the difference between Bakugo/Deku and Tadaroki right now.
They care.
You're also assuming that answering wasn't somehow part of whatever plan Midoriya came up with.
Ahhh...a straight up elimination fighting tournament. God bless 'em. I hope it doesn't get interrupted like 99% of anime tournaments do.
I agree with Buff. Talk with your fists if you can't speak normally. That scene made me cringe.
If that is the guy's only quirk, then Izuku doesn't need a plan. He just needs to rush the guy and beat him up. He is extremely athletic even without his powers, after all. And if that isn't enough, throw out a 5% punch, which should be enough to kill a person if it hits square in the head, so do a body blow.
The strangest part about this entire thing is how someone who can mind control people en masse if they just talk to him is in the general class...
Peace.
Because he failed to get into the hero course?
But how can he fail with such an amazing ability? Just talk to all the participants before the event begins and use them to win...
Peace.
Maybe he's shy.
If it's not Isuzu-chan Mii~
His ability probably works only one person at a time. And probably has a long cooling time after being used on someone.
All the things I really like to do are either illegal, immoral, or fattening. And then: Golf.
The way the entrance exam was structured, mind controlled people would still end up scoring points for themselves even if controlled to assist. I don't find it hard to imagine this fellow unable to place in the practical exam.
The ability works on multiple people as shown in the cavalry battle.
If he controlled a bunch of people to deliver damaged robots to him for a final blow, he would've passed easily.
Peace.
Deku is a hopeless hero fan, so he likely grew up watching a thousand shounen shows. In every single one of them the hero and the villain talk and chat incessantly through all of their fights. Talking shit when he should be fighting is a second nature for him, undoubtly. I congratulate the opponent for realising that.
I guess Deku will do the traditional thing and break a finger or something to snap out of it. It's pretty common to use pain to shed mind control. At least I hope he'll do that much and not just rely on his shounen spirit alone.
HS - Episode 20
--------------------------------
Yep, this guy is dumb/impulsive/whatever-you-want-to-call-it. All for the sake of story - which went pretty much exactly as planned.
He should have lost as well, since he was essentially "immobilised". Ah well. Next.
If it's not Isuzu-chan Mii~
I think you're dismissing it too much. As a mini-arc,, this is great. He has a horrifying quirk, said it himself, one that automatically makes people assume he can use it for evil. His looks don't help much in that regard. But he doesn't want to be viewed that way. He wants to use it for good, and he wants to be a hero.
The only reason he's not in the hero course already is because it is biased towards physical powers.
Just think about it, even if he doesn't go the hero route, he'd make an awesome cop. Criminals wouldn't be able to help themselves insulting him back.
He's much in line with Eraserhead. He just needs the right gear and skillsets to back up his power. He doubts himself, that's why he lost.
Yeah, Midoriya got off easy. But he is one of the most headstrong characters in the series, despite all the crying he does. He knows what he wants, and never looks back trying to get it.
Yes, the comparison to Eraserhead is apparent. He's a good guy. The bias was shown that even General Studies guys can be useful as well, just not in the traditional sense. Also yes to Izuku showcasing that he's slowly mastering his power.
The problem? The writer made Izuku speak in order to have this all happen. That's the problem.
Seriously, get any 8 year old off the street and explain "If you speak, you lose" to them. Anybody serious about winning your game won't speak, no matter how impulsive. Anybody who does is either intellectually impaired or decided their emotional outburst was more important than winning.
Deku is neither, but to make story happen he got written this way - in such a way that I could not suspend my disbelief.
