My Hero Academia General Discussion Thread #18

Also Lover Mode Gentle’s elasticity being City Block Level in Durability/Damage it can knock back
46.68 tons of tnt to be more specific
As far as we know Lover Mode only increases Gentle's physical stats, his Elasticity had the same strength as the first time he used against Deku. Heck, Gentle used an even stronger attack while in Lover Mode and 8% Deku was still able to withstand it, proving that the power of his Quirk didn't increase at all.
 
So about Endeavor, I still find it extremely weird and inconsistent that an otherwise "normal" human was able to train hard enough to reach All Might's durability.

Furthermore, we are ignoring some things that point out Shigaraki was holding back, such as when he attacked Gran Torino (mind you, that same attack also hurt Endeavor on the same panel), and how afterwards Shigaraki was able to one-shot Gran Torino and easily pierce Endeavor with his tendrils, even though those same tendrils never hurt All Might in his weakest state.

Can we all just remember this an extremely weakened AM we're putting him on tiers with and he still scales lower than him. The tendrils thing I kind of call issues with that. When AFO used the tendrils period they didn't seem to pierce anyone in the Kamino fight(Kurogiri is the most obvious example) so I really don't take that as an issue against Endeavor, AFO even said he wasn't seriously fighting AM until everyone left he was just trying to wear him down. Here he clearly was attacking people with intent to Kill/harm in the case of Deku. Also Gran torino is a weird case because gran torino has had showing of taking punches from AM before too so the fact he survives a punc from shigaraki also isn't an effective counterstatement considering the series frequently has him in fights with the top tiers of the verse(I really don't believe his High 8-C rating for a second). There are many cases of Normal human characters reaching higher power levels, (Mirio onshotting Kirishima, Endeavor being able to somewhat contend with Hood physically, Gran torino's physical strength and durability). I understand people's issues with Endeavor's scaling but A there's really nowhere else we can put endeavor him being 8-A would be so inconsistent it would be laughable, and B he still scales below a weakened AM's durability as he would be baseline Low 7-B+ in the new scaling chart.

Also, the idea of Shigaraki holding back at that point is laughable, he was clearly fully in the fight at that point and was excited, and makes no sense for him to hold back in the fight at that point, he was also clearly serious at that point judging from his clearly pissed off face before he punches them.

>Can we all just remember this an extremely weakened AM
Can we drop this agument? Weakened All Might is not even two times weaker than the All Might who made the storm feat, the same All Might who for years was considered absolutely unreachable by Endeavor.
>When AFO used the tendrils period they didn't seem to pierce anyone in the Kamino fight(Kurogiri is the most obvious example)
What? The tendrils not only pierced Kurogiri's chess, but also drew blood from his wounds.
>AFO even said he wasn't seriously fighting AM
He was always serious, he just wasn't using all his strength (the huge right arm), not only that, your "non-serious" AFO was still strong enough to contend with All Might and overpower him with the tendrils, so I'm not sure how that proves Endeavor scales.
 
By the way, I do think Gran Torino should be around 8-A, but for me that's the upper limit a normal human could reach in this world without enhancement Quirks.

-Ok the first statement is very wrong. In the movie, we see visually in a graphical form the all might's power significantly declined when he transferred OFA. Calcs are cool, but in-universe words will always hold more weight.
Secondly, Endeavor wasn't even chasing after that version of AM he was chasing after Prime might this is known because Endeavor reached the top charts by age 20 and he's 40 right now so this is prior to the AFO fight. All might also significantly lowered his time in the limelight after this battle so considering endeavor's tunnel vision with his child todoroki its very likely he just didn't realize because All might was in significantly less fights.
Also just to add to this , considering by the time AM became wounded might todoroki was already born it probably meant he had already given up on surpassing him himself so he probably wasn't looking at AM all that closely and didn't realize his weakening.

- I'm not sure on the Kurorgiri things in the manga we see a bit of black come off of him but that might of just been the tendrils, in the anime we see nothing. But with magne it's consistently shown there's no blood coming off of him.

-Am was also said to be holding back in that fight too prior to bakugou leaving so him fighting AM isn't an effective counterpoint.

Excuse me, but the idea makes a lot of sense, because we already know that Shigaraki could have easily killed Gran Torino with a single attack, but he decided not to do it at the time and simply attacked Gran Torino and Endeavor with the same hit, so yes, he was indeed holding back.

-Tbh, to me that just sounds like he wasn't bloodlusted in that point of the fight , bloodlusted vs serious are two different things. And also here's the thing Shigaraki is a 7-B(don't make me argue this just take it with a grain of salt if you want) a tier 8 should not be capable of enduring an attack from and being able to attack easily moments later. That's just not consistent. We're already downscaling him for shigaraki's attacks not being 100% serious but downscaling him to tier 8 makes no sense.
 
>In the movie, we see visually in a graphical form the all might's power significantly declined when he transferred AFO.
Not an argument, we don't know what that graph means and how it translates to the power of All Might, that's why we don't use it to scale Prime All Might's strength.
>Secondly, Endeavor wasn't even chasing after that version of AM he was chasing after Prime might.
Wounded All Might acted as a hero for several years and Endeavor never noticed his decline in power. He couldn't notice it even when All Might was at his weakest state.
>Kurogiri
In the anime it's clearly blood and in the manga we can see some blood coming out of the wounds, either way that's not the point, AFO wasn't trying to kill Shiggy's comrades, but he was certainly trying to hurt All Might.

:| Your gonna make me repeat myself about this huh.

Endeavor's tunnel vision is a big aspect of his character so don't try to tell me this couldn't happen.

If we take it that way, the only one who survived a blow from bloodlusted Shiggy was 45% Deku. In his double attack against Gran Torino and Endeavor, Shiggy just wasn't using all his strength because he could have one-shotted the former, and that same attack injured the latter too.

A Shigaraki wasn't attempting to kill Deku that's obvious as he wanted to take OFA so I'm not going to address this point, and please read above what my statements about this where. Can you please check what I say before responding, not trying to be rude but it gets annoying having to quote myself.

Okay, let's agree that he wasn't trying to kill Deku, but my argument is based more on how he could have one-shotted Gran Torino and decided to not, proving that Shiggy was still holding back at that moment.
 
Dude I respect you a lot, so don't take this as offense, but please do me the courtesy of reading what I say before posting again. Please read the prior comment.

This is a valid argument the statement he makes right after is this ('Why are your quirk levels going down so dramatically') as he refers to the graph which means he was referring to the strength of OFA. This a rather obvious statement.
(If you want to find the scene go to 27:26 of the movie and you can find it I just looked at that movie to find the statement)

? But that's you trying to draw a massive difference between serious and bloodlusted, nothing more than headcanon, what makes you think there's such a huge difference in power? What makes you think Shiggy was fully serious in that attack? You haven't even addressed about how that "serious but not bloodlusted Shiggy" also wounded Endeavor, which means that, according to you, a bloodlusted Shiggy could also have one-shotted Endeavor.

But it doesn't mean anything because we don't treat it as something linear, we know that he got weaker, yes, but we don't know how much. Going with our calculations, All Might got two times weaker, which is quite dramatic.
 
If Shigaraki needs to be Bloodlusted to be 7-B, then Endeavor isn’t 7-B since he never got hit by Shigaraki when he was bloodlusted. By your logic Cyber.

But I wasn't though in fact the whole point of that statement was that there isn't a massive difference especially not one big enough to go to 8-A. If you want the condensed point of that statement its that regardless of if Shigaraki is fully serious in that attack, why would he downgrade himself to 8-A status in that attack. He clearly wanted to put them down for a few seconds if not kill them. If you read what I stated earlier I said Endeavor should be Low 7-B with shigaraki as a 7-B. I've already downscaled endeavor the best I could do for you is changing the scaling chart a bit so Izuku/Shigaraki become at least Low 7-B+ and Endeavor becomes High 7-C but that's the best we could do.
But it doesn't mean anything because we don't treat it as something linear, we know that he got weaker, yes, but we don't know how much. Going with our calculations, All Might just got two times weaker, which is quite dramatically.
Did you read the graph , it was an exponential loss of power , look at it. I take more stock in the graph given in series then fan calculations.
 
>But I wasn't though in fact the whole point of that statement was that there isn't a massive difference especially not one big enough to go to 8-A.
The whole point is that Shiggy wasn't fully serious in that double attack, and that his bloodlusted state is just him going all out, one-shotting characters he previously did not. By the way, I just re-watched the fight and Shigaraki was acting quite smug, mocking the power of the heroes, and overall not taking them totally serious.
>Did you read the graph , it was an exponential loss of power.
Once again we don't take that graph as a linear scaling, long ago we tried to upgrade Prime All Might's strength using that graph but it was rejected.
 
Yes he wasn't fully serious. My point is regardless of if he was fully serious the fact is a tier 7 character should be one-shotting tier 8 characters period if he intends to one-shot them.

Ex:: When shigaraki goes to attempt to one shot Ryukyu and Endeavor he's able to one shot Ryuyu a confirmed 8-A but is unable to one-shot endeavor and is notably surprised he was even able to get up.

If endeavor is a tier 8 like your trying to imply then why was shigaraki who was trying to knock him out unable to. I've already said I agreed he wasn't fully serious and that's why I downscaled him, but serious or not he was trying to put him down wasn't able to.
 
Also something to add here. I just rewatched the AM vs AFO fight and AFO uses the tendrils on Gran torino when he tries to stop Shigaraki from leaving and again no blood.
 
I know it sounds like PIS, but that's how Shigaraki was acting, he always had the power to pierce Gran Torino like a donut or hit him hard to put him down, but he chose to not, and I think he did the same with Endeavor too.
Am I only able to post pictures if they have a url? That’s aggravating.
It's a shame, I guess we would have to upload the image on the main site first and then link it from now on.

So let me get this straight you want to add PIS into this story to deal with another PIS on your interpretation of Endeavor's strength. Weren't you the guy who was saying we should always try to be consistent.

In the attack with Gran torino and Endeavor he just wanted those two out of his way. Also tbh I'm not even sure if Gran torino is tier 8 considering he was able to survive a punch from weakened AM albeit some of the impact was redirected.

When he attacked Endeavor he wanted him down and he couldn't' put him down and that is a fact.
If the difference was between a tier 7 and a tier 8 that should not be possible. We see this ryukyu who was a confirmed tier-8 and when shigaraki wanted her down she was down.
 
When did he try to kill Endeavor the same as Gran Torino? He wasn't acting that brutal at first. Besides if we interpret it like you say, Shigaraki simply wanting to get them out of the way is strong enough to injure Endeavor, and nobody knows what would happen if Shigaraki attacked Endeavor with the intention of killing, I don't think it would have been much different than what happened to Gran Torino, since they both survived Shigaraki's casual attack previously.

In 276 when he smashed him to the ground, whether he tried to kill endeavor is questionable but he certainly wanted him incapacitated, and he couldn't do that to the point that in 277 when Endeavor attacks he is visibly surprised endeavor is still moving.
 
That's the same scene where Shigaraki mocked Endeavor and Ryukyu by raising his arm, while casually explaining to them how he can control his Decay, how he saved some of the Quirk-erasing bullets, and making a face as if it were the best day of his life.

Just read 276 and 277. In 276, he isn’t trying to KO Endeavor, he’s just bullying him. He taunts his pose, then talks about how he can control decay, which resulted in the other Nomu getting out. He then just leaves him there so he can get Aizawa. The entire time, he has a shit eating grin on his face like it’s Christmas Day, as opposed to the grimace and deranged smile he has when he goes all out. That seems like a simple case of not taking an opponent seriously, so you don’t go all out to me.

In 277, he never notes surprise at Endeavor showing up again. He kinda just ignores him, despite getting punched, and focuses solely on Deku cause AFO is in his head. Then he bats Enji and GT away like they’re nothing to him. He then gets stunned by Bakugo’s gauntlet, which is a feat for Bakugo we should talk more about.

When did Shigaraki ever hit Endeavor seriously (no holds barred, no gloating, no distractions) like he did Gran Torino or 45% Deku? The one time he did was when he easily stabbed him with the tendrils.

Never said he was fully serious and bloodlusted in that attack. I said he wanted to put him down, couldn't do so and was visibly surprised he couldn't and even grunts in annoyance.

Tbh I'm not even sure why we're having this discussion we already agree that.

Shigaraki didn't hit hit Endeavor fully seriously so he shouldn't fully scale.

I just don't know why you want to downgrade him to tier 8 when there is another confirmed tier 8 in the battle who took similar hits and was one shotted every time(Ryukyu).
 
Shigaraki was never visually surprised Endeavor got back up. He just took the punch, grunted, then talked about getting Deku. He didn’t even acknowledge Endeavor.
 
Can we all just remember this an extremely weakened AM we're putting him on tiers with and he still scales lower than him. The tendrils thing I kind of call issues with that. When AFO used the tendrils period they didn't seem to pierce anyone in the Kamino fight(Kurogiri is the most obvious example) so I really don't take that as an issue against Endeavor, AFO even said he wasn't seriously fighting AM until everyone left he was just trying to wear him down.

Also Gran torino is a weird case because gran torino has had showing of taking punches from AM before too so the fact he survives a punc from shigaraki also isn't an effective counterstatement considering the series frequently has him in fights with the top tiers of the verse(I really don't believe his High 8-C rating for a second). There are many cases of Normal human characters reaching higher power levels, (Mirio onshotting Kirishima, Endeavor being able to somewhat contend with Hood physically, Gran torino's physical strength and durability). I understand people's issues with Endeavor's scaling but A there's really nowhere else we can put endeavor him being 8-A would be so inconsistent it would be laughable, and B he still scales below a weakened AM's durability as he would be baseline Low 7-B+ in the new scaling chart.

The tendrils did pierce Magne and you can see blood around where AFO stabbed him at least in the anime when he used Forced Quirk Activation on Magne.
 
As for blood not showing up when AFO used the tendrils on the LoV, that could easily just be due to him not piercing through to their organs. They’re his comrades and he only needed to activate their quirks not kill them.

Stabbing into their body a bit to activate their quirks is very different from literally piercing through them entirely.

We also kind of forgot that Endeavor was injured by the most basic Air Cannon, while All For One needed to enhance it with multiple Quirks in order to injure All Might. Everything indicates that Endeavor is not as durable as All Might.

First off A I never said he was as durable as all might. I said he's Low 7-B or maybe likely Low 7-B if you want.
and

B I've had this discussion the basic air cannon that shigaraki used didn't even seem to injure Endeavor it just knocked him back. Knock back is based on physics at least in MHA when endeavor punched shigaraki it knocked him, it didn't injure him but it knocked him back.

C All might was knocked back by basic air cannons in that fight too, and he was knocked back significantly farther by the stronger ones.

D Before someone mentions the fact that Endeavor was knocked back by the giant air cannon and AM wasn't , AM was bracing for the aircannon because he was prepared and you can see him doing so. Endeavor wasn't bracing so he was knocked back but he wasn't injured.
