I know right?
Do you wish to give your opinion on this thread?
Bruh.
I quoted my reasoning. Izuku just needs one hit, right?
No, that's not what he said at all.
That's exactly what that means.
Okay, fair enough
It's unlikely but not impossible that he'll land that properly without Himiko outmaneuvering him as noted in the very argument you quoted a single sentence from, without any context I might add.
Not currently? I mostly know it via the anime & have only watched up to the end of Season 6.
Well this is them from the training camp.
I don't think it's unlikely that he'll land a proper grapple on Himiko.
I don't think that Himiko Toga outskilled Eraser head as shown in the profile
Himiko Toga literally did one dodge. I'm serious. I went back to watch the episode. All Himiko Toga did was flip over Eraserheard while he was using the pully thingy (I don't know what it's called), stab Eraserhead, and dodge then leave. That's not out-skilling. It looks to me to be more of a feat of Acrobatic skill rather than actual close-quarters-combat skill. They didn't have a prolonged fight. Ironically, a few seconds before, Izuku was dodging Himiko Toga while he was suprised from Himiko Toga suddenly changing from Rock Lock to herself. Eraserhead even deduced that Himiko Toga was using Shapeshifting while she was impersonating Rock Lock because of a stab wound that (I think) Eraserhead/Izuku had.
Himiko Toga is able to get grabbed by Ochaco, who is far less faster and skilled than her. Sure, a person could argue that Himiko Toga was holding herself back since she knows she is far stronger than Ochaco, but then that leads me to my next point:
Himiko Toga throws the fight.
but considering that she'll be cutting him...
And this crush develops fast. Like, within a few seconds fast. I'd bet that if Izuku's actually being beaten down, she'll be developing a crush on him based on how he looks. Himiko Toga went up against Ochaco and Tsu before seeing Izuku, so it is In-Character for her to mess around with her food (See the entire fight scene) Sure, she could spam Stealth Mastery, but at best, she'd only do it like twice because Vanguard Action Squad Himiko Toga only used it as a starting move and then just stayed in close-quarters-combat to fight.
(Unless it's somehow linked to his AP)
She was able to dodge attacks from Eraser Head, twice to be specific. the one where she used his OWN weapons against him and the 2nd when he tried to surprise stab her back after the first one. Izuku is far more accustomed at this point in the story and our profiles aren't very clear cut what arcs are covered for each key but since 5% Deku is only during the beginning so using a Deku that can go up to 20% to judge it seems baseless, at that point he can predict opponents faster than him without much issue.
Firstly, she had a mission in that part which was find Bakugo and a set kill list which was on Izuku, dealing with Tsuyu and Ochako would have been a waste of her time and she is taken off guard by Ochako's sudden skill, in fact she does quickly take Tsuyu by surprise when she tries to jump away by pinning her to the tree with her knife. it should be noted that it was also a 2v1 something Toga had no real interest in taking part of.
well yes that well play into it, Toga with our ruleset is still going to try and win against Izuku and it'd only fuel her to see the boy she "loves" get more hurt by her. SBA clearly states with mindset that "In character, but will attempt to win the battle. " and "Each character will view their opponents as enemies", Toga is gonna see Izuku as someone who wants to harm her and she is still gonna attempt to win the fight. yes, her crush will play a factor and its something I thought about but Toga would be more fueled to see the boy she loves get more injured and shes aware of the strength that Deku has over here, he threw her off him quite easily during the Provisional Hero License fight and shes seen how strong Deku is, shes gonna play it safe.
5% can't do that, its tied to what % of OFA hes using and 5% can't create the same kinda of air pressure that 20% and above can do. destroying the forest is a no go sadly
5% is everything up to his fight with Bakugo right before Overhaul arc. Deku by this point already has a showing of analytical prediction vs Gran Torino so he’s just start to predict Toga and catch her with a kick when she attempts to sneak him. That’s ignoring how his supernatural willpower will just let him take getting stabbed with no issue.
Thank you for the clarification, switching to Deku FRA. our profiles aren't very clear tbh but if he has the knowledge to start predicting her sooner rather than later coupled with her personality and how she fights, Izuku should have no trouble getting that grab.
Could you elaborate more on why you're choosing her?
Yes, but that was when he wasn’t aware of what she was capable of and she wasn’t seeking to stab him/was on a mission to talk. She was fully in stealth mode, and even then he could react to her. In this scenario, she’s coming at Deku with the intent to stab the heck out of him, and will deliberately not kill him for that purpose. Deku is going to actively talk to Toga during this, which will make her emotionally unstable enough to be less careful, as seen with Curious.
Huh? (Counted btw.)
Zoro got lost after having Deku, that’s why we never see him
