>Doctor statement
The doctor opened his statement with "the damage pattern was the same as before" or something similar to that effect, he was clearly trying to explain what the damage pattern was not just pointing out that the injuries were horrible.
You may make the argument that the statement wasn't literal, but literal or not it still implies something being destroyed from the inside than through recoil. If a doctor explained that a victims injuries were as if "a buzzsaw was run inside his guts" you can assume that the victim's guts were cut apart rather than punched real hard, even if the statement isn't literal
>Context doesn't matter
The context is that Izuku hurts himself with his attack and felt the need to explaon it to Bakugou
Izuku's damage being something for which "blowback" is the proper word to use is not close to what the statement was trying to get across
The point of the gun example is that in both cases the result of using the weapon/power isn't worded in a manner where they should be taken so literally. Comparing them isn't a massive exaggeration, what is though is saying someone would be lying to someone else's face if they say "prepare for some real kickback" without specifically talking about reactionary forces causing damage to someone.
Nomu example is the same thing as the Bakugo one. And I don't see what the word having a big font is supposed to prove.
You're just focusing too much on minor parts of a statement and ignoring what their original intent was, to compare them to a statement that is actually directly related to the topic in queston and thus more reliable to use in context of this topic than any of the other three. Context does matter in this situation.

I see you just decided to ignore my point about the image being related to physical effects of one for all and instead just insisted that your interpretation is correct. Cool.
That's all I'll post for now, I don't have a lot of time for the other stuff. And no you're not coming off as aggressive, I just have a general lack of motivation right now, so that's why I might appear to be a bit unhappy with the discussion.
