Don't forget that with every move he makes he'd have to be prepared for Ochaco to cancel that levitation and send him tumbling back to earth. You guys are making it sound easier than it is.

In this very episode, they said how incredibly fast Bakugoīs reaction is. Heīd have no problem reacting to any sudden changes.

Nah, she wouldn't have canceled the antigravitation. If Bakugo was high in the air, he would slow down his fall using his own power, if he wasn't high, he would suffer no damage from the fall. Ochako's best bet was Bakugo losing control and having to spend most of his effort in controlling his movements at the expense of being able to attack. In the first place her only chance of winning was to get Bakugo out of the arena. There was no other even remotely plausible method for her. For that to happen, she needed to get him in the air.
Latest ep is out.
That was pretty epic.

Hell yeah that was epic!
Didn't expect Deku to lose before facing off against Bakugo, but shit, I can't imagine he'd have been able to fight any more matches after that one even if he did win.
Now that the main character has been eliminated though, I'm fully expecting some bullshit to interrupt the tournament before the end.
If you watch the previews then it can be interrupted but why would they stop just because the main char is out?
I'm kinda curious what would have happened if cement guy hadn't thrown a bunch of walls up between their attack. Given that Deku's attack is the more direct, physical one, I wonder if that interference might not have cost him the fight.
Alternatively, it might have just been the only thing that kept them from both dying.
I'm not saying the characters would end the tournament because Deku is out. I'm saying that the rest of the tournament is no longer important to the main story, so it doesn't really matter how the rest of it goes, so I'm fully expecting a Chuunin Exam/Hunter Exam/Every other Dragon Ball tournament-type thing where you don't get to see the end because some outside force or disaster interrupts the tournament.Originally Posted by NeoCybercoin
Izuku is a fucking idiot. If he can slowly grasp his power while losing fingers like that, why didn't he practice it more when he isn't in a critical match? Since they have recovery girl, he should use smash at least a few times a day and get her to heal him, then do that as often as possible. Then maybe he would've grasped how to use it sooner. Instead, he trains his body, even though it's a (nonsensical) band aid which works by making his body tougher to resist his failed smashes. He should be improving his control instead. Recovery girl's powers are basically limitless except for the person's stamina, so he should at least make sure to maximize his to train.
And don't give me bullshit about learning faster while in combat. That's nonsense and not how training works. Even if it did, actually training before an event is still beneficial and should be done.
Peace.
Overall I agree with you Shinta. If the primary reason for Izuku's injuries is that 'his body isn't used to his quirk', then the answer is to use his abilities as much as possible. All Might has never actually come out to say "You know what, if I go all-out I'll damage my body too." That guy just does things, we we'll never actually know whether control vs endurance would be beneficial for Izuku long-term. Short term it's control, no doubt about that.
Shoto kicks ass with his fire. I'm pretty sure he'd own Bakugo with that. The fire pretty much negates any side-effects of his freezing and vice versa. Meanwhile, Ochaco's meteor shower already stressed Bakugo's explosive ability without his suit.
I'm pretty sure Izuku can go all out against a person and not kill them. Assuming their explanation was correct, the reason he came out unscathed after punching Nomu was because he subconsciously held himself back, not because Nomu absorbed the shock. If that's the case, just rely on that. Izuku wanted to beat the shit out of Nomu at the time anyway, so any attack on a classmate can't be any more devastating when you think about it.

Well he can't really test your theory because recovery girl can't resurrect scraps of meat, IIRC.
He should at least train his smash on robots or mountains or something.
Also, the way he approached the match was stupid. Why did he decide on an endurance fight when he had no idea what Shoto's limitations are? If you have little info, you work with what little you have, not naively hope you learn something while sacrificing your body parts.
Izuku should've dashed forward while using his smashes to get closer to Shoto and use a smash (a stomp or a ground punch) to blast scarface out of the arena. His rear ice protection will do nothing if Izuku destroys the very ground it is attached to... But yeah, typical for this show, it is again drama over logic.
That said, the shounen heart was nice in this episode again.
Peace.
Fantastic animation and enjoyable to watch, but yes, Midoriyaīs strategy made no sense at all. Betting it all on endurance?! Even if one can assume that stamina is of importance, why would you risk an endurance match when you can only attack as many times as there are fingers on your hands? Itīs unrealistic to just assume that Shoto could only use 10 ice blasts, beause thatīs how many fingers you have. :/
The opposite of endurance would have been Midoriyaīs best shot: Use a couple of consecutive All Might-attacks to completely overwhelm him. First attack cancels his attack, second attack forces him into defense, third attack knocks him off the stage. And if finger attacks arenīt enough for the last one, this is where you use you full-arm swing attack. DONE.
Any other strategy is Shotoīs to win. Who wasnīt the brightest, too. Why did he only use straight-forward ice blasts? He could have done a double attack where two ice blasts approach Midoriya from left and right side. Only one could have been negated, the other one would have been guaranteed to hit him.
Oh well. Yes. Drama over logic. Kinda sucks. But I'm used to it by now ... I think.

How can Shoto attack from 2 directions? AFAIK he can only produce ice from his body. If he makes it snake around, then it'll take too long to reach Izuku and he can just run away. Not only that, he'll have to produce a lot more ice.
Peace.
Rip-roaring ep that amped the animation up at the end to get the satisfying final clash, even if the fight that proceeded it was largely static cut aways to interject back story into.
I like how hard guy isn't phased by Bakugo's... personality anymore. He really did make a friend!
Says the guy defending his own theory with "And donīt give me that bullshit about ...", lol. I find it hard to believe that Shoto cannot cast ice any way he wants. Same with flames.
"She's the only non-loli girl in the show, your honor!" will be my defense in court
Todoroki's starts from his body and moves in a continuous path from there.
We've never seen him cast ice or fire at a distance without some contact with his body.
Since it's a continuous path, on a short distance at ground level on earth, a straight line is the shortest and fastest way to get to his oponent.
A surprise attack might be to tunnel his ice underground and upercut from under his oponent's feet ?
But it seems Tadoroki can't hide it when he activates his power. And it's not sure he can finely control it.
All the things I really like to do are either illegal, immoral, or fattening. And then: Golf.
MFauli, step back and use your memory a little.
Peace.
I have a hard time believing that Todoroki cannot change the iceī direction. Makes no sense. He can clearly freely control the ice, at times itīs just a thin layer on the ground, then it grows big at from the ground at the far away edge of that thin ice layer. Itīs not like he creates ice ready in front of him and moves it via telekinesis, no, he controls the ice. Logic dictates that he can change the ice' direction.
"She's the only non-loli girl in the show, your honor!" will be my defense in court
I will say, I DID think it was kind of BS when Deku was all "Well, I ruined all my fingers and can't attack anymore. But I can EXTRA ruin them for more shots! I'll just keep changing my finger colors as I need more shots!"
Of course he can change the ice's direction. Read David's post. What he cannot do is make it appear away from his body without a connection, so the source will always be him. That's why having ice snake around to flank Izuku is a slower attack and uses more ice (and most likely focus) than his straightforward attack, which was already extremely effective because it forced Izuku to use up his body parts. Shoto just didn't think Izuku can cheat by reusing fingers.
Peace.
Todoroki didnt even know about Midoriyaīs damage at first, so thatīs not a valid argument. And I donīt see how two ice blast from the side would have been significantly slower.
This is such a weird argument. One time you complain about how this series forsakes logic in favor of drama, then you whip out your very own pseudo logic to explain why something isnīt possible. To which I gravely disagree. Nothing indicates that Todoroki couldnī t create to quick ice blasts from the sides. Íīm sure he can also freely control fire blazes and quickly so, too. We wonīt find out, because the fightīs over.
