    Because fear can be quite irrational. Would be even funnier if someone could fly but was afraid of heights.

    The traditional fear of heights, acrophobia, doesn't necessarily include fear of flying. There have been and are even pro/hobbyist pilots who possess acrophobia but are still doing their job/hobby. I guess climbing the stairs onto the plane is worse for them than flying the thing. Fear of heights is actually fear of falling, and when you can fly, you aren't falling. Although I suppose it might help you typically don't see straight down from airplanes.

    But yeah, if it was a superpower, it might have given birth to such a fear if the individual in question, as a kid, had had poor control and had almost died when trying to unsuccessfully fly properly.

    I know I've seen more than one character in fiction that could control fire that was afraid of fire.

    In fact, it's more or less the entire plot of Frozen.

    Episode 37

    -------------------------------------------
















    All Might losing was pretty bullshit. Pulling lethal punches is one thing, but you're telling me that his endurance barely lasted that exam, and punching him was enough to keep him down.

    Well his time limit keeps on going down. Makes sense the rest of his power also goes down.

    If Deku had wrecked his arm, I'd have bought it. Because when he hits at 100% he should be almost as strong as All Might.

    But his arm seemed fine, which seems to imply he wasn't using 100%.


    In fact, he should have sacrificed one leg to propel himself at All Might. One arm to punch him. Grabbed Bakugo with the other arm. Then sacrificed his other leg to propel them both through the gate.

    That's the thing though. He knows he can't keep on doing that. If it were an actual life or death situation he might but Recovery Girl is already refusing to heal those sorts of injuries. The whole reason for his internship is to learn how to properly use it without destroying himself.

    I still maintain the only thing she's refusing to heal is the double breaking his body he did during the Shoto fight that turned his body parts black instead of red, as those were the only injuries she couldn't fully heal.

    The point isn't about whether he breaks his bones or not. The point is that if he doesn't, he should be piss weak against All Might.

    Given that All Might keeps letting his guard down, handcuffing him would have been the most believable way to win. You only need one moment's distraction.

    Isn't it obvious All Might thought they showed enough effort, results, and some rudimentary cooperation? So, he let them pass. How fair would this exam be otherwise? It's not a teacher's job to make students fail but to teach them and then check if they have learned.

    I was thinking that too, it was weird they didn't try it.

    All Might's wrists are so thick the handcuffs wouldn't have worked, I presume.

    The cuffs must be sized for the teacher. Otherwise that's not really a fair test.

    Unintentional peeking...


    I'm a little confused as to what exactly the schedule here is at this school. All Might says he's been teaching for 3 months. But they just had their final exams. Is this school only in session 3 months a year?

    Somehow they started school in April and now it's July for summer holidays. I don't know how northern hemisphere school schedules work. Normally it should start in September.

    In the US, school starts in September and runs till June. With a couple week long breaks thrown in there.


    So what does UA do for the other 9 months of the year? Or does their "three year" school do all 3 years in a single actual year?

    I'm interested in the schoolgirl villain. She seems fucked up.
