Bakugou's quirk scares me because of his personality. I'd be freaked if a dude that could create explosions came rushing at me.

pokemons the opposite of realistic
well yeah, bomb defusal suits arent even a guarantee and that girl seemed to tank explosions somehow

Again, that's a question of experience. The way her quirk works, she'll just keep getting faster at using it, while at the same time growing her general combat sense. Of course she could still get suckered by incomplete information, but still.
Doesn't seem to have a good control of his output or he's a huge idiot because he went all out against Jesus vine girl and lost partly because he shorted himself
If it makes you feel better he won't kill you since he wants to be the new All Might he will put you in a hospital for days and potentially in a coma

Indian elephants are a great way to establish strength.

Yeah. and not knowing his weakness (She probably could've created a small flash grenade or something pretty quickly since creation speed is mass dependent).
Also it's important to consider that under the right conditions Tokoyami's quirk is ludicrously strong.
Yep. Realistically she can do some madoka magica shit
But she constantly defeats herself despite being, arguably, one of the most intelligent characters there.
Static had magnetism as part of his powers though i think. or at least that was how i understood it since he skates around on a manhole cover lol
Yeah. And that attack he does with his gauntlet is pretty much only second to a 100% One for All punch in terms of destructive power (among the students).

honestly it's probably both lol
Electromagnetism which is really op if you think about
It does give Todoroki an advantage since he can control temperature

Guys, getting screwed up by a surprise thing isn't a character specific weakness. Some characters can react better (like we saw Bakugou do this episode), but it's not like inherent to the powerset or anything. Again, experience.
Plus, he only gets stronger as the fight goes on (until he collapses from muscle exhaustion, anyway). More exertion = more sweat = bigger booms.

To an extent, although it's worth noting Bakugo does experience some degree of recoil from his own explosions, especially if he's not using his super suit

Yeah, true. They're playing that up more in the anime than they have in the manga so far, though, which is interesting.

I think its unfair to call fresh out of middle school non formerly trained students idiots. For them its like their first time using their quirks beyond playing with them.
If Todoroki used both sides he would have options against vine girl should they meet lol
Aaronrules380

Eh, not sure I agree on that point. I feel like they played it up in the manga, and that in terms of the Uraraka fight it was a subtle thing in both
the animation on his arm as he built up to the mass explosion was pretty interesting. Like he had to burn off all his extra juice to fire the big one.

isnt that awfully close to being like the electric chair? he must have a pretty low life expectency.
I remember pikachu beating dragonite that way in the anime and thinking it was kind of messed up.
He needs to work on his stamina and control.
True, we haven't seen how his power is at night. And even though it feels kind of an obvious weakness, every time somebody has a shadow/darkness power it's usually weak to light in some form, she could have still made something to make her more mobile and put up more of a fight. Momo's lack of confidence is what always ends up killing any chance she has.
I always used to think he would somehow make the cover cling to him using static electricity or try to charge it in a way that it would repel off the earth or something.
Still, all this does is make me miss Static.
Lets not even go to how the hell Aizawa's eye would work

Let's remain ignorant and not think about it.

sometimes even in the established worlds rules something happens that makes you do a double take though.
and the quirks except mutations just gives up from such a stare
He just looks at you, like really hard man.

Maaan if Urarak's quirk worked by anything like real-world rules she'd be ludicrously op lol.

minor Tokoyami power spoilers
We actually do see him use it in a dark environment at night in the manga at one point and it's fucking obscene how powerful it is
He shoots a virus into your eyes.

It's just more awkward in this particular universe because it has a tendency to remind you how inadvertently dangerous some quirks can be. Or other stuff where if a quirk makes you look weird or has a negative connotation, then yes, people may very well ostracize you. Like the guy with the brainwashing quirk for example.

Uraraka's quirk is still pretty useful. The biggest real problem is the weight limit

im still waiting to understand exactly how conquerors haki works...
By willpower and the streght of their heart duh what is so hard to understand

It's useful, don't get me wrong, but if it actually worked in a way that made sense (making objects massless) she'd be outright BROKEN.
Hey, she can lift exactly one Groudon. Not many people can say that.
Weaponized willpower that only a select amount of people can unlock. It's basically OP's version of the force. Everyone has Haki, but only so many people know how to use it, with even less having that particular ability. So.... you just roll with it.
Duh

I'm pretty sure her power is explicitly making objects weightless, not massless which is an important distinction

I... yes, that's what I'm saying.
One of my favorite things about the episode (that I feel the manga didn't quite convey) is after that HUGE blast, Bakugo seems to be shaken. He even has to brace his arm to blast away the meteor shower. Afterwards he seems slightly shaken by the force of the blast too which makes sense since I imagine it is hell on his bones.
One of my favorite things is that every quirk has a basic weakness/requirement to work effectively. Devouring iron, weight limits, broken bones.

Nah, you're saying her power would be broken in the real world because it makes things massless. But it doesn't. It makes things weightless (as in, removes the force of gravity from them), but they still have mass.
Edit: Oh reread your comment. Honestly I think removiing the force of gravity from an object makes more sense then somehow removing the principle of mass. The former can be explained by simply applying an equal and opposite neutralizing force, while the latter is a lot more abstract
Poodlestrike

Yeah, but the force of gravity only exists as a function of mass.
Aaronrules380

Just applying an equal and opposite force would have the same effect as removing the gravitational force

Oh, that's true.
But that wouldn't explain how she was able to spin that giant concrete pillar from way back, though.
She'd be able to move the pillar in 0g, but definitely not that fast haha

Bakugo got a lot of shit, but he was one of the only people there who actually respected​ Uraraka.
I believe there's a gag strip at the end of the chapters about how if Uravity's powers worked scientifically she'd destroy the planet or something.
Also Static's powers were much closer to Magneto's than they were just straight lightning powers, eventually the show kind of forgot that.

Weren't those cardboard or something? They didn't actually weight much.

Can't wait for next week. There's no way deku will beat todo, the guy is on a whole other level.
