Fight of the Level 5 Companions (Kuroko vs Junko)

[DontTalkDT]

While my social duties keep me busy I thought I would make a nice thematic ToAru fight.

Shirai Kuroko vs Hokaze Junko

SBA

Who takes this?

 

[Aminadab_Brulle]

In character, these two brawl in close quarters for a bit, then Junko remembers she is an electromaster (which I'm pretty sure her opponent doesn't know) and zaps Kuroko. The end.

 

[DontTalkDT]

I don't think Junko can lightning strike without support of Yuuri Senya?

 

[Aminadab_Brulle]

Erm, because? Senya literally points out that Junko can do that simply because of what her power is.

 

[DontTalkDT]

There is a difference between theoretically being able to do that and actually being able to do that.
It's like how all of Level 6 Shift's abilities are things Misaka can theoretically do, but in an unboosted state she just doesn't have access to those techniques. Or how Takitsubo's ability theoretically lets her rewrite personal realities but 99% of the time she has no access to that aspect of her powers.
I don't think base Junko has access to those techniques, even if her ability does include them as a possibility. Her page does in fact not list electricity manipulation in a way that would allow her to do that.

Level 6 Shift gives 9970 more minds to calculate, Astral Buddy literally only makes your own calculations smoother. These situations really aren't comparable. Rikou never "rewrites" a PR - did you mean overwrite?

Which definitely boosts Junko tremendously. She straight up states she never moved in such a high-burden state before. It probably also helps unlock her suppressed potential. Honestly, the fact that Junko herself was shocked that she could shock Gunha makes it pretty clear that it's an ability she never uses herself. Heck, Yuuri straight-up also taught her how to do the Ion Sheath. You definitely can't apply Astral Buddy boosted Junko stuff to regular Junko.

Don't know what the difference between rewrite and overwrite is here...

 

[Aminadab_Brulle]

She never moved in such state for so long before. Not never before, just not this long. Or at least that's what the translation on ******** says, if you have an official one, please post a scan. The rest are just things she could do and simply haven't thought of... Or at least that's what makes the most sense, given the description of Senya's ability. AB Junko simply has no timer on full powered state.
Rewritten PR as in, changed into something else. Overwritten PR as in, the power does something in a different way than expected (like youarenumbertwoing Kakine in NT6).

 

[FantaRin_The_First]

Skipping over the stuff you guys are asking about... The only way Kuroko can hurt Junko is via the dura-negging aspect of her teleport, due to the former being 9-C and the latter being 9-B, right? ... Really should work on those Toaru Calcs, sooner or later, Touma got some calc-worthy stuff, and Junko as well.

 

[Aminadab_Brulle]

Well, yes - as trying to incap with martial arts + handcuffs would be honestly pointless (Arei, whom Junko is superior to, just broke out of these things). The thing is, Kuroko isn't quick to pull that move off.

 

[FantaRin_The_First]

While, I haven't read much of Astral Buddy, shouldn't Kuroko have a basic idea that her normal stuff (martial arts + handcuffs) would do shit all against Junko?

Normally, she should. Not in SBA though.
