I finally don't have a tie on the poll. Looks like Pandora will be the one-shot that will be continued. But for the two other people who voted for Shinobi Classroom and My Assassin Academia, don't be too disappointed. The four people who care. Yuma's Daughter isn't done yet. You can still vote. But for now, I'll be making a full plot for Pandora.
Disclaimer: I don't own My Hero Academia or UnOrdinary. My Hero Academia is owned by Kohei Horikoshi and Shueiesha. UnOrdinary is owned by Uru-chan and Webtoon. I love both series a lot, so make sure to check them out.
Azure: I really wanted to do a chapter with one of the UnOrdinary characters, since it's my favorite Webtoon. I don't really want to do John vs Deku, since I think that there are probably a lot of good opponents for both of them. Deku has opponents like Tanjiro Kamado, Asta, Miles Morales, Spider-Man, Boruto, etc, etc. But while I want to do a different opponent for John, preferably from Webtoon, there are so many Webtoons to look over. So for now, John will fight Deku, literally the only person people pair up John against. To be fair though, this is a pretty good match-up as far as connections are concerned.
Azure: If you have a different opponent for John, please tell me in a review or a PM. And yeah, I know there's Monoma from the same series as Deku, but like, no? Monoma's biggest claims to fame is grazing a distracted Deku in the manga, annoying Bakugo, coming up with a plan that fell flat, and being famous in the fandom for being this annoying guy who always tries to enter a d*ck measuring contest with Class 1-A and getting karate chopped on a regular basis by Kendo. Yeah, no.
-Line Break-
Bryant: Power. Superpowers. Every single person who likes anime, comics, games, or cartoons wants them. And even some of the people who don't like the common ways or entertaining themselves want power.
Thea: But power is something that can't be taken lightly. If you get power, some people will use it to become inspiring heroes who will save the day. And others will use it to become a terrible tyrant.
Bryant: Izuku Midoriya, the Full Cowl Superhero.
Thea: And John Doe, the King of Wellston Highschool.
Bryant: For this battle, we'll be analyzing Deku at the end of Season 3 of the My Hero Academia anime.
Thea: And for John, we're looking at the Webtoon up to Chapter 219, the most recent chapter that's free.
Bryant: I'm Bryant Reese.
Thea: And I'm Thea Price.
Bryant: And we're here to analyze these two fighters and find out who would win, a WI Battle!
-Line Break-
Bryant: In the world of My Hero Academia, mankind has evolved, resulting in the majority of the world having superpowers, called Quirks.
Thea: I get and like the idea of people getting superpowers from evolving. It's cool! But how in the f*ck does evolution result in people having engines in their legs, earphone jacks for earlobes, and making random sh*t out of your fat?! Seriously, I don't know why everyone says Momo should be chubbier, she literally turns her fat into objects on a regular basis. I'm surprised she isn't skinnier.
Bryant: But while 80% of the human race and even animals have Quirks, there are some people who don't have any powers. People who are different from the so-called Metahumans. People who are the Quirkless.
Thea: Enter Izuku Midoriya. This guy was like every dork in school. He was a nervous stuttery wreck.
Izuku Midoriya:
-Hero Name: Deku
-Birthday: July 15
-Height: 166 cm
-Age: 15
-Ninth Wielder of One for All
-Blood Type: O
-Likes: Katsudon
Bryant: Like all students of Aldera Junior High, Midoriya dreamed of becoming an incredible hero, like his idol All Might. A hero who didn't save the day for the money, or the fame.
Thea: He just wanted to inspire people with a big ol grin on his face. But unfortunately, Midoriya was Quirkless. Which apparently meant that everyone gets to bully him. Bunch of d*cks. Guess they never heard of Batman or Iron Man.
Bryant: Despite the setbacks, Midoriya continued to dream, analyzing Quirks and holding onto his heroic heart.
Thea: Even despite the crazy amount of *ssholes who don't deserve to even be considered for a hero school. Like Bakugo. That son of a-
Bryant: Eventually, Midoriya came into contact with All Might himself, and asked All Might a question that plagued his entire life. Could he be a hero, even without a Quirk.
Thea: And then All Might immediately said no after revealing that the extremely buff guy he was was actually a disguise and that he was really a skeleton with the ability to inflate himself like a balloon. And then Bakugo got caught by a slime monster. Midoriya decided to actually do something unlike the so-called 'pros' and managed to motivate All Might to push past his limit and save the day.
Bryant: Midoriya knew what he did was reckless, and he just got lucky that he was able to be saved by his idol. But what mattered to both him and All Might was that he acted. Midoriya was not a clueless idiot. Well, not in that regard. He didn't move in thinking he could do what others couldn't, it was instinct. As soon as he saw that Bakugo was in trouble, his legs moved before he even knew what was happening.
Thea: All Might saw that and was like, 'damn, I respect that.' So he decided to name Midoriya his successor.
Bryant: Midoriya was given a chance to be a hero, and he managed to get into his dream school of U.A. High. There he took up the previously degrading nickname of Deku and twisted it to be his hero name as he inspires others the same way he was inspired by All Might. He followed the school motto of Plus Ultra and pushing past his limits as he made his way into being a hero with his new Quirk, One for All.
One for All:
-Takes the power of the previous user and builds it up as it combines with the power with the current user
=Midoriya is the 9th wielder
-Grants superhuman speed, strength, stamina, and durability
-Super Moves:
=Full Cowling
==Spreads power through the entire body to increase mobility and agility while decreasing damage and strain
==5% maximum output
==8% maximum output
==100% maximum output
==1,000,000% maximum output
===Stronger than 100%, but not actually 1,000,000%
==Shoot Style
===fighting style that mostly focuses on the legs
===meant to reduce strain on damaged arms
=Smash Attacks
==Detroit Smash
==Delaware Smash
==Delaware-Detroit Smash
Bryant: One for All was a Quirk formed from a long time ago, way before either All Might or Midoriya was born. A Quirk that was passed down through generations, with each successor hand-picked by the previous user to counter the supervillain All for One. It takes the power of the previous user and then combines it with the power of the current user. To date, One for All was used by a total of nine people, Midoriya included.
Thea: So Midoriya at his best would actually end up being stronger than All Might! So when Midoriya attacks at full power, he should be able to create 60 storms with a single punch based on All Might's own calculations in his fight against Nomu!
Bryant: Not exactly. There have been hints that Midoriya's current full power isn't the same as All Might's full power in his prime. As a result, we'll be focusing mostly on Midoriya's own powers and feats and scaling him to his classmates rather than scaling him to All Might.
Thea: Well he may not have All Might's full power, but he did base his fighting style on All Might. That's why his signature move was the legendary Detroit Smash. But while All Might does a downward punch, Midoriya tends to do either an uppercut or just a straight punch. It probably doesn't sound that impressive, but he's strong enough to create massive shockwaves and destroy a giant robot! And he has his own unique technique called the Delaware Smash.
Bryant: The Delaware Smash focuses the full power of One for All, the full power he has anyways, and Midoriya launches it as a powerful flick, creating a power cannon of air. Midoriya created this technique to get around one of his biggest weaknesses.
Thea: Yeah, his body wasn't strong enough to take the power of One for All. Every time he used his Quirk, his body broke. So Midoriya learned a bunch of different ways to decrease the damage done to his body and use One for All effectively.
Bryant: One, focusing the energy of One for All into smaller parts of his body. Two, using a specific percent of One for All to not destroy his body. However, one of his most useful methods is his third one. A technique which he called Full Cowling.
Thea: He channels a small amount of energy from One for All and spreads it through his entire body. This enhances his physical abilities, making him faster, tougher, stronger, and jumpier! He created his own style of fighting based on the moves of Gran Torino, Bakugo, and his friend Tsuyu Asui.
Bryant: Midoriya relies on his enhanced agility to bounce around his opponents and outmaneuver them. While he typically used this technique at only 5%, he can increase his power output to up to 8%, increasing his speed and strength even more. But when he was forced to go up against Muscular, a mass serial killer who could tank his power even at an increased, full power 100% Full Cowling, Midoriya truly showed how to go beyond his limits.
Thea: Or Plus Ultra!
Bryant: He pushed his power far beyond 100%, and combined both the Delaware and Detroit Smash, creating the 1,000,000% Delaware Detroit Smash. But don't let the name fool you, he's not actually attacking with 1,000,000% of his power. It didn't have a level of destruction that was 10,000 times more powerful than his regular attacks, and it was stated by Horikoshi himself that he was simply hyping himself up.
Thea: But it's definitely still stronger than his regular attacks, since he barely did any damage to Muscular at 100% and then knocked him out for a good while at '1,000,000%'.
Bryant: Unfortunately, while this helped him save the day, it also dealt extremely high amounts of damage to his arm. If he were to break it again only a few more times, he would become completely unable to move his arm again.
Thea: So he decided to break his legs instead! Brilliant!
Bryant: Taking a page out of his friend, Tenya Iida's book, Midoriya shifted from the regular Full Cowling and changed it to focus more on kicks, thus decreasing the strain on his arms, though he does occasionally mix in punches and kicks. He called this form Shoot-Style.
Thea: Giving us something closer to martial arts. Make sense, this is a Shounen Action Anime.
Bryant: In addition, Midoriya, as a superhero, has his own Super Suit.
Abilities/Equipment:
-Keen Intellect
-Expert Analytic
-Adaptable
-Strategic
-Costume Gamma
=Arm bracers to reduce strain on arms
=Iron soles to increase power of his kicks
Thea: Actually, he had three supersuits at this point. But the one we're looking at is his Costume Gamma. It has a special pair of arm bracers that decrease the recoil on his arms, but it's his iron soles that are the real deal.
Bryant: These iron soles absorb kinetic energy and reflect it back towards the target, thus doubling the damage Midoriya deals and halves the damage he receives.
Thea: Pretty simple. But Midoriya is way more than someone who punches hard enough to break his own arms. He's super smart, and since he spent his entire life analyzing people's quirks he's super adaptable. He's been in a few situations where he was in a pretty bad spot, and whenever he isn't just using his super strength to hammer away at the villains he's fighting, he's either figuring out how to use what he has besides his super strength, or using his super strength in way to solve a problem in a way people didn't really expect.
Bryant: He's also a skilled strategist, and is regularly relied upon for coming up with a good plan and adapting afterwards should it go wrong. He has been acknowledged for his ability to power straight through even the most intense of pains, and has scored in the top 10 of his entire class. He's also shown to be adaptable in other kinds of situations. He's more than willing and capable of playing either the leader or the follower, making him a very useful ally.
Thea: So Midoriya is a bit of a badass when it comes to being a hero.
Achievements:
-Smashed multiple metal pillars with ease
-Moved fast enough to catch on fire
-Endured breaking his already broken fingers
-Survived falling from high heights and the recoil of his attacks
-Can scale to Bakugo and Todoroki in power and speed
-Helped defeat the Hero Killer Stain, and defeated Muscular
-Solved multiple problems in spans of minutes, impressing his mentors
-Predicted the movements of Mirio, who is known for being unpredictable
Bryant: Midoriya has been fast enough to dodge point-blank bullets and has even moved fast enough to catch on fire, putting him at Mach 32, as we have determined in Bakugo vs Yang.
Thea: Midoriya is also, really damn stubborn. He's been hit with multiple metal pillars, and fell from a helicopter and made a big crater! Those are both within the range of over 3 tons of TNT!
Bryant: Midoriya has figured out the weaknesses of Quirks after only a single encounter, and managed to beat a test against All Might with the help of Bakugo despite Bakugo's hotheadedness. He's matched Todoroki and Bakugo in one-on-one combat, and has even managed to predict the movements of his upperclassmen Mirio, who's trained his life to be unpredictable and is regarded to be superior to many pros.
Thea: We also determined that Midoriya could output an attack worth over 2,000 lbs of TNT, but that was his regular 5%. At his full 100% combined with All Might, who was much weaker then, they were able to destroy a giant metal cube! They look like cockroaches next to it!
Bryant: Based on the size of the cube and assuming it was made of steel, we determined that the force needed to destroy this cube was equal to over 2 kilotons of TNT.
Thea: Sure All Might was helping him, but All Might was way, way weaker then, and Deku was able to keep up with him in the entire fight!
Bryant: So it's reasonable to assume that Midoriya and All Might were both dealing a similar level of power. However, he was only able to withstand this level of power thanks to the Full Gauntlet, which was designed to withstand that level of power.
Weaknesses:
-Too much power at once can break his bones
-Very limited martial arts training
-Mainly a melee fighter at this point in the anime
Bryant: Deku is mostly a melee fighter above all else, and thus lacks many reliable options for long range. His Delaware Smash is powerful yes, but it has only been used at full power, thus breaking his fingers.
Thea: Sure he used it with fingers that he already broke, before breaking them again! But that also dealt some permanent damage to his hand.
Bryant: Plus, while U.A. has taught Deku how to use One for All more efficiently, they haven't really given him much else. His fighting-style is more reliant on what he was able to learn from watching his classmates in battle, and even then it's not perfect. He has been noted to have predictable moves after all.
Thea: That sure hasn't stopped him though.
Bryant: Midoriya has certainly had a good deal of trouble over his time as a hero, and he has yet to reach his full potential, but he has never let anything stop him. Even if the entire world is against him, he'll never stop trying to save others, regardless of his own life.
(Izuku Midoriya) When the enemy becomes certain of their victory, that will be our chance.
-Line Break-
Bryant: In a world where just about everybody has powers and special abilities, it's natural that there's a decent amount of chaos. And when they're In the campus of Wellston Highschool, there is a hierarchy within the student body.
Thea: Kings stand at the very top, and they're the top dog of the entire school. After that are the Queens, who have the same level of authority as the Kings. And finally, the Jacks! That's how it usually was in Wellston, in a lot of the other schools too.
Bryant: But the hierarchy was cruel, and the King was just as. The higher leveled students lorded their powers over the weaker, and should one not have powers, something which is known as being a Crippled, they would suffer the most.
Thea: Yeah, Arlo, the current King decided to be a massive d*ck. And that ended up being a majorly big mistake. Soon he was completely overthrown, along with the Queen, Jack, and a bunch of other high-tiers.
Bryant: The usurper? One called the Joker. But before he was the end of the hierarchy, the Joker was one of the supposed Crippled. John Doe.
John Doe:
-Aliases: Cripple, Black Friday, The Joker, King
-Schools: New Bostin (former); Wellston (Current)
-Height: 5'11"
-Considered a God-Tier
-Level: Unknown (Likely more than 8.0)
-Used to have 'helmet' hair
-Likes boba tea
Bryant: John was a regular student at New Bostin, a school with the same hierarchy system as Wellston. There, his reputation as a crippled, along with his low-tier friend, Claire and Adrion, resulted in him being targeted by multiple bullies.
Thea: Sometimes a few a day, sometime a dozen a day. Not exactly an easy life. John got pretty tired of being the higher-tier's punching bag.
Bryant: But that would all change in his final year of middle school, when his friend Claire, whose ability was precognition, predicted that John would have not just one ability, but multiple. And so, John and his friend got to work, training, and learning how to use all abilities.
Thea: Yeah, soon John was able to take down the douchebags who kept beating him up. But when he got more power, he got more douchey.
Bryant: The feeling of power and authority was addicting to John, and he became obsessed. He soon took over New Bostin and rose through the ranks as King. But the power soon went to his head, and he became a tyrant, crushing others beneath his heel. Not only did he become the same kind of dictator his bullies were, he became worse. Soon, all who so much as looked at him wrong were brutalized.
Thea: So when he went full tyrant and beat down half his school and his former friend Claire at once, he ended up being expelled and turned into the authorities. Whilst there, John enjoyed such treatment like being exposed to all the memories of him being a d*ck, getting the sh*t slapped out of him, and getting traumatized by the physical and mental abuse under the hands of a professional. Fun times.
Bryant: After three months of, 'therapy', John returned home, hiding himself in his room. Eventually however, his father decided that enough was enough, and-
Thea: Decided to write a book? Oh, my kid has been traumatized. I know, let me write an entire dang novel!
Bryant: Well he actually started writing it before all of this happened. He gave John a sample copy.
Thea: The book was called UnOrdinary, and the main character was like Superman. A powerful high-tier with a powerful ability in a world of cripples. It made a bunch of high-tiers in John's world go and become superheroes too, since they figured 'Hey! We have powers, why don't we become Superman?' It sounds silly, but you know that at one point you wanted to be a superhero. So why not?
Bryant: But while high-tiers were inspired to use their powers for good, John's feeling of guilt and his mental trauma prevented him from doing so. Instead, as John entered Wellston Private High, he hid his ability, his status, and his past-
Thea: And gelled up his hair to make it a helmet. Stupid. Hey, don't look at me like that. Everyone in the fandom dislikes it. Then again, when John went back to being a tyrant he went back to his old hair-style permanently so I guess that's a bad thing?
Bryant: Right, John was able to keep up his facade of crippled for a decent while. He even made a friend in the school's Queen at the time, Seraphina, who defended John against certain high-tiers in the school. However, Seraphina was discovered with the now banned book UnOrdinary, which she had borrowed from John. She was suspended, and John was forced to fend for himself again.
Thea: But John's no slouch.
Abilities:
-High pain tolerance
-Expert combatant
-Trained reflexes
-Skilled tactician
-Possesses much knowledge of abilities
Thea: He's super good at fighting. Even without using his own ability, he can stand up to his classmates with just his fists, and even though he tends to get bodied at times, he can also beat the ever living sh*t out of an opponent with the right moves. Looking at his fighting-style, it looks like he's using a combination of kickboxing, Muay Thai, Judo, and Jiu Jitsu. A good combination for dealing with superpowered people.
Bryant: He also has trained reflexes, allowing him to take advantage of certain situations in certain ways, turning the tides to his favor. He was even able to detect an invisible person following him and Seraphina on their way home from a shopping trip. John has trained himself in being able to predict his opponent's movements and use them against them.
Thea: But it wasn't long until he got in over his head, and ended up in the infirmary. For like the fifteenth time the entire season. Fortunately, it looked like he made a new friend in Arlo, the school's King. Unfortunately, that just made everything worse.
Bryant: Arlo was suspicious of John, and learned that he had an ability that John had kept hidden. In order to force the truth out of John, Arlo faked being friendly with John and lured him out into a battleground used for Turf Wars, which are competitions between schools. Angered by the second betrayal, and realizing that he truly was the victim in the situation, John snapped, and he quickly defeated the three bullies, brutalizing them before going home.
Thea: When Seraphina came back and was made into a crippled by a special drug, she ended up being targeted by her schoolmates, and John forced Arlo to keep her safe. When Arlo had enough and told John to do it himself, John put on a mask and started attacking high-tiers and the people who attacked Seraphina.
Bryant: John's descent back into his tyrannical persona had begun. And he would soon take up the title of Joker and overthrow Arlo as King to grasp Wellston in an iron grip with his own ability, Aura Manipulation.
Aura Manipulation:
-Manipulates Aura Channels to mimic other's abilities
=Energy Beam
=Lightning
=Hunter
=Barrier
Bryant: Everyone with a power like John, Arlo, Seraphina, and the others has the ability to manipulate their Aura Channels and channel it as their own unique abilities. John's own ability allows him to manipulate his own Aura Channels to mimic the way others manipulate theirs.
Thea: So he can copy other people's abilities, which is why his friend Claire had a vision of him using a bunch of abilities.
Bryant: John is capable of mimicking multiple abilities at once and even combining them, though it appears as though his limit is four abilities.
Thea: Don't worry, he can still kick ass with only four abilities.
Bryant: We don't usually allow for prep time, but we will make an exception just this once. For this battle, we'll be giving John the abilities of the four people who are arguably the closest to him in power and whose abilities he's taken.
Thea: These are Arlo and his Barrier, Blyke and his Energy Beam, Isen and his Hunter, and Remi and her Lightning. The abilities tend to increase physical abilities, and he can combine the abilities he copied to give them a big buff.
Bryant: With Barrier, John can create force-fields. The force-fields have a reflective property, meaning that any melee damage done to the shields are reflected back at the person attacking. What's more, John can control the size of the barrier, allowing him to crush and trap his opponents. Though these barriers can be destroyed with a specific amount of force.
Thea: But since they tend to only break when hit by something pretty big. Like a speeding truck. Or John. But my favorite ability is Blyke's Energy Beam. He can fire these in massive Kamehamehas from his hands, Spirit Guns from his fingers, or Hadokens from his palms. He can also fire energy in a shockwave. Sure he never actually did that himself, but he did see Blyke do it, so he probably knows he can do it too.
Bryant: He can also use the Hunter Ability to see through walls, locate opponents from far distances, enhance his senses, and locate weak spots.
Thea: And with the final ability, Remi's Lightning, John can fire electricity from his hands, create an electric cloak around his body, detect electronics, and resist electric shocks. He once combined this with Energy Beam and Hunter to create the Homing Shock Beam technique, which fires beams of electrified energy that home onto opponents!
Bryant: John has proved himself to be incredibly powerful.
Achievements:
-Defeated entire hordes of students at once
-Knocks out people with a single hit
-Blocked enhanced hits without powers
-Dodged Blyke's Energy Blasts
-Easily outmatches opponents
-Overthrown Arlo and multiple high-tiers several times
Bryant: He's strong enough to knock opponents out with a single hit, skilled enough to take on multiple opponents at once, and fast enough to dodge Blyke's Energy Beams.
Thea: Those beams totally means he's lightspeed, right?
Bryant: Not very likely. Bylke's beams do move in straight lines, but there's further proof that they are lasers, as they can be condensed, goes through people without burning them, and propel the user through the air. All of which lasers can't do. But it's likely that they can be compared to bullets, which move twice the speed of sound.
Thea: He can also keep up with Remi, who's electricity can probably move as fast as actual lightning. Sure it's weaker, but since it's still moving through the air it probably follows ionized paths, which means it can move at the speed of lightning without needing to sacrifice speed to make a path. That's Mach 283!
Bryant: While it's unlikely that either John or Remi can move this fast, they should have reaction speeds around the same level.
Thea: John is one hell of a tyrant. Even the entire student body of New Bostin ganging up just resulted in every single one of them getting bodied! And in just a few weeks, he defeated every big named person in Wellston. He absolutely destroyed Isen, who's strong enough to break wrists by grabbing them and even stop a moving truck!
Bryant: Assuming the truck was moving at 60 miles per hour and weighed 7 tons, this takes about 257 tons of force. Considering how easily John was able to defeat him, and the fact that he was able to take on both him and Blyke, who's able to keep up with Isen regularly, and then defeated both Arlo and Remi despite being wounded, it's likely he's a few times more powerful than Isen, especially when adding the other three abilities. This is supported by the fact that he proved to be strong enough to break through Arlo's barrier, which can overpower Isen quite easily.
Thea: Let's highball it and say he's five times stronger than Isen. That's a total of 1,283 tons of force!
Bryant: John also showed that he's incredibly tough. He was able to power through Arlo's barriers despite the reflected damage, and even withstood Remi's lightning for long periods of time.
Thea: And those lightning can knock people out or paralyze them, and he withstood her lightning easily after getting the sh*t beaten out of him!
Bryant: John proved to be powerful, but he's not perfect.
Weaknesses/Flaws:
-Extremely paranoid
-Can be quite gullible at times
-Extremely stubborn
-Can only copy up to four abilities at a time
-Needs to copy an ability to use to be able to use one
-Abilities don't stay around forever
Thea: Yeah, his time in New Bostin and with the 'therapist' left John with a giant case of PTSD and extreme paranoia. So he doesn't trust a lot of people. Even when people are talking more sense than himself, he'll just ignore them in favor of listening to himself.
Bryant: Not always the best choice, as he can be manipulated especially when the person is weaker, as he has a superiority complex making him think that no one would dare oppose him.
Thea: So basically he's super paranoid, obsessed with power, and pretty damn stubborn? Sounds like your typical scheming teenager.
Bryant: In combat, his biggest disadvantage in battle is the fact that he can only copy up to four abilities at a time. Not to mention he also gets a specific weakness of each ability. For example, when his Barriers are shattered, he suffers damage.
Thea: Not to mention he can only copy abilities, so he needs to see the ability being used before being able to use one. If he didn't copy an ability, then he'll be pretty damn powerless. And when he stops using his ability, the abilities he copied gets erased. So he can't just copy one ability and use it whenever he wants.
Bryant: Regardless, John's iron fist on Wellston is a very sturdy one. He's not one to underestimate, and his brutality shakes the entire school.
Thea: Here's to hoping Seraphina can help him come to his senses.
(John) Go ahead. You and your incompetent lapdog… can do whatever the hell you want with me. Just don't forget… In the end… you're just like me. Another worthless piece of trash in this world.
-Line Break-
Bryant: Alright, the stage is set, time to start this dance.
Thea: Battle ready, set, GO!
-Line Break-
"Heal me." John snarled at the trembling girl in front of him. Elaine had just witnessed another brutal beating of her friends. Arlo, Remi, Blyke, and Isen were left bloody and unconscious in the school yard. She was trapped between John and the wall behind her. A wall which John slammed his fist into, causing her to flinch in fear.
"HEAL ME!" he roared. Elaine raised her hands and healed John, his wounds quickly disappearing. John looked over himself before grabbing Elaine by the collar and backhanding her, causing her to cry out in pain and a small amount of blood coming out of her mouth.
"Next time, do what you're told." he growled.
"Stop!" a new voice said. John turned around to see a teen around his age, dressed in what looked like a costume. Deku glared at him before quickly scanning the area. There were four bloodied people on the ground, and one girl looking at him with eyes pleading for help.
"This is none of your business! Get out of here!" John snapped. Deku redirected his attention to John.
"I won't! I don't know what's going on here, but these people are hurt, and they need help."
"I don't care. These f*ckers don't deserve it! Now leave!" John ordered. Deku took a stance, causing John to throw Elaine away and take his own stance.
Fight!
"One for All, Full Cowling: Five Percent!" Deku said as he glowed. John held up his hands and fired black beams of energy towards him. Deku dashed to the side and charged up to John. John shifted his stance and knocked Deku down with a well-placed punch. Deku rolled to his feet and dashed back at John. He leapt up and threw a massive kick. John held up his guard and blocked it, sending a shockwave around them. Deku spun and swung his other foot. John ducked under and countered with a punch, knocking Deku back. John activated the Lightning ability and sped towards the hero.
"Leave! Now!" John yelled as he punched Deku. The hero was punched multiple times before John blasted him again. Deku flew towards the wall but flipped mid-flight and pushed off it. John fired more energy beams, but Deku dodged them and slid on the ground. John looked down at the hero at his feet in shock before Deku slammed his foot into his stomach. The iron soles activated, sending John flying into the air. Deku flew after him and axe-kicked him into the ground, creating a small crater. Deku landed near the crater, but coughed up some blood as he held his chest. John stood up, covered in his black barrier.
Deku stood up as he wiped his mouth but was tackled by John, who grabbed him by the hair and began brutally beating him. Deku grunted as John slammed his fist into his face, drawing blood with each hit. John yanked Deku down and yelled as he raised his fist, but Deku surprised him with an uppercut.
"5% Detroit Smash!" Deku yelled as he uppercutted John again, sending him into the air. John landed on the ground a good distance away. He grunted and spit out a glob of blood and a tooth. John glowered at the tooth. He got up and took another stance. Deku sped towards him and tried to do a sidekick, but John's arm snapped up and parried the kick. His eyes shone gold as he used Hunter. Spotting a point to hit, his fist shot forwards, hitting Deku square in the chest. Deku choked as more blood shot out of his mouth as he was sent flying with another ball of energy. He bounced across the courtyard and smashed into the wall.
"This person has more than one Quirk. Is he in contact with the LoV?" Deku coughed as he got up. He spotted more lasers heading towards him and flipped over them. John sped up to him and threw another punch. Deku caught it, but yelled as he was shocked. John grabbed his shirt and slammed his fist into Deku's face over and over again before flipping them over. He wrapped his arm around Deku's neck and started to choke him. Deku gasped for air as John's grip tightened on his neck. He grabbed John's arm as he began to pry it away from him. John grunted as he shocked Deku, causing him to cry out again as electricity sparked through the air.
"One for All… Full Cowling… 8%!" Deku yelled as he powered up. John grunted in surprise before Deku suddenly rolled and pushed them against the wall. John let go with a grunt as the wall shattered before Deku attacked his foe with a barrage of punches. John coughed as a particularly brutal hit sent him to his knees.
"Smaaash!" Deku yelled. John put his hands together, blocking a powerful kick upwards, sending John into the air. Deku ran up the side of the building and caught up to John. The tyrant tried to right himself with Blyke's Energy Beam, but Deku kicked him into the building. John grunted as he was sent through the side of the building.
"Hm… It's not likely. He didn't know me, and Muscular said that I'm on the hit list. If he was part of the LoV, he would've recognized me." Deku realized as he took a breather. He went a few steps back.
"He probably has a quirk that lets him manipulate energy." Deku reasoned before he ran forwards and leapt towards the hole. Inside, John was coughing as he got up on his knees.
"Bastard… That rotten, worthless, piece of sh*t!" John yelled as he smashed the floor, leaving a crack before getting up.
"Smash!" Deku yelled as he shot into the school and kicked John again. John grunted as he was sent bouncing across the floor as Deku dashed past him and kicked him again. The Iron Soles made a loud noise as they clicked back in place. John was sent flying again before Deku appeared behind him and kicked him into the ceiling, leaving a large hole. Deku panted as he paused before jumping through the ceiling. John groaned as he stood up shakingly.
"Please give up! I don't want to hurt you even more." Deku warned. John growled.
"Too bad. Cause I want to hurt you!" John roared as energy built up inside him before exploding. Deku was sent flying out the window, sending glass flying. Deku gasped as his eyes shot back open, seeing a black beam covered in electricity firing out at him. He twisted midair, dodging the beams. To his surprise, the beams of energy turned and hit him, shocking him as well as shooting through the sides of his torso. Deku cried out in pain before John leapt after him. John grabbed the hero and punched him several times before kicking off of him, sending Deku down into the ground. He slowed his fall with Energy Beam as Deku slowly got up. The two were panting in exertion, both bleeding.
John growled again as he began charging up his next attack. Deku noticed this and reactivated Full Cowling at 8%. John held his hands up and fired more beams of energy, causing Deku to duck to the side. The emerald hero tried to close the distance, but John simply fired more rapidfire beams as Deku was forced to dodge. John fired more homing beams, forcing Deku to skid to a stop and run the other way. Deku dashed around the courtyard, avoiding the beams as he ran. John took this opportunity to take a breather. He spotted Elaine, helping up her friends. He growled again and began walking towards them, slowly becoming faster. Little did he know, this distraction had caused the beams to disperse, letting Deku take a sigh of relief. Deku looked up and quickly chased after John.
"Did I say you can heal them?!" John snarled as he charged at Elaine, who squeaked in fear as she fell backwards. John leapt at her with a roar before getting slammed into from the side. Deku roared as he slammed his foot into John's side, sending him flying. John rolled against the floor before slamming through the school gate. John pushed himself up and coughed in pain as he stood up. Deku yelled again as he rocketed towards John and readied another huge kick. John held up another large barrier, focusing it into a single spot. Deku's kick slammed into the shield, and John coughed up blood as Deku broke through the shield and kicked John in the chest, sending him flying through the street.
John put his fist against the ground, pushing himself up as blood fell from his mouth, creating a small red puddle below him. Deku skidded to a stop, coughing himself as blood poured from his mouth as well from the reflective damage. The two stopped to take a breather. John's eyes were no longer glowing as his ability had deactivated.
'His eyes stopped glowing? Maybe his Quirk deactivated.' Deku theorized as he recovered.
'Dammit. I lost the four abilities. Well, if I can't use them…' John glared at Deku before taking his stance. Deku took his own stance as he reactivated One for All.
"...I'll use yours." John growled as his eyes glowed.
"Smash!" Deku shot towards and threw another kick. John ducked under Deku. Deku spun and skidded to a stop.
"What was that? Oh right." John made a fist and his arm began glowing. Deku's eyes widened.
"Smash!" John yelled as he leapt towards Deku and threw a punch. Deku barely dodged the punch, but was sent flying by the massive shockwave.
"F*********CK!" John screamed in pain as he held his purple arm. He never experienced such a level of pain. He turned to glare at Deku before being kicked around the face. Deku kicked him several times before flip kicking him up. John landed before spinning back on his feet. His purple arm was still being moved around as he ignored the pain.
'If he's this strong, then he probably can control how much he uses at once. In that case…' John focused on the energy inside of him, spreading it through his body like he saw with Deku. Deku tensed as he saw that John was using his Full Cowling.
'How?! He's using my technique so quickly!' Deku thought. The two charged at each other and collided, quickly trading blows and sending shockwaves around them, cracking the ground beneath them. They knocked each other back before dashing forwards again. John pulled back a fist as Deku prepared another kick. In a moment of adrenaline, they both let go of their control and hit each other with all their might. A massive cloud of dust exploded from where they were and the two were sent flying. John groaned as he tried getting up again.
"Motherf*cker!" John cursed as he got up with a roar of anger. Deku saw this in surprise. He struggled to get up with his broken leg.
"Incredible! He's so strong!" Deku gasped. John ripped a massive slab of pavement and kicked it towards Deku. Deku tried to catch the slab, but was slammed down into the road as John slammed into the slab. He punched it over and over, forcing it down on top of Deku.
"Die! Die! Die! Die! Die!" John roared as he slammed the slab down harder and harder onto Deku. Deku groaned as the slab was crushing him.
"Die you piece of sh*t!" John roared as he raised both hands. Deku realized that John had stopped and took his chance. As he was, he wasn't strong enough. He had to become stronger.
"One for All, 1,000,000%! Delaware!" Deku yelled as he flicked the slab. John was taken off guard as the slab he was on was shattered, and his fists were thrown with nothing to hit, causing him to become off balance. A powerful gust of air tore into his face, stunning him.
"Detroit, SMASH!" Deku roared as he punched John, sending him into the air. John was sent flying, unable to right himself. Deku channelled One for All through his body again and launched himself after John.
"You know how to use my Quirk! But I know how to go beyond!" Deku yelled as he clutched his last, unbroken arm. John glared at him and tried to move his limbs, but they flapped uselessly in the wind as he yelled in pain. Deku caught up to John, preparing the final hit.
"PLUS! ULTRAAAAA!" Deku roared as he punched John as hard as he could. John screamed before being split in half with a spray of blood. Deku fell onto the ground, knocked out from the impact. John's split halves fell besides him.
KO!
Thea: Woah! That was unexpectedly brutal!
Bryant: John had a few advantages over Deku. He was much better in terms of martial arts and experience thanks to his time in both New Bostin and Wellston. He had better range and defensive options with the abilities we gave him. Considering all this, it's likely that John would be able to win a few scenarios. However, Deku had the edge in many other categories.
Thea: Like regular speed! John has never moved as fast as Mach 32, which Deku could probably surpass thanks to powering up to 8%.
Bryant: Even with John's range edge, he wouldn't be able to keep that advantage with Deku's greater speed forever.
Thea: And John never withstood anything even close to what Deku survived! Sure their pain tolerance was pretty damn close, since Deku withstood the pain of having his broken finger break after already breaking them! Seriously! And then John withstood being electrocuted after having the sh*t beaten him by both Blyke and Isen! And Blyke literally put holes in him! I'd say the two are pretty even.
Bryant: But while pain tolerance is important in a fight, durability is just as important.
Thea: Yeah, what's the point of being able to withstand pain if you can't even survive it. Sure John withstood some serious pain, but he's never come across even half of what Deku survived, like the recoil of his own Smashes. But even half of what Deku survived is more than what John has ever survived.
Bryant: John should be capable of dealing and surviving at most, 1,283 tons of force. An impressive amount, but nowhere near what Deku can do. Deku's metal pillar feats make him over a thousand times tougher than John, even with the highball. Thus negating his defensive advantage, as Deku is strong enough and tough enough to break through the shields and keep fighting.
Thea: But wait! There's one big question we need to answer. What if John copied One for All? Wouldn't all of Deku's advantages become John's?
Bryant: Well, it's hard to tell whether or not John would be able to, as we don't know enough about Aura Channels and Quirks in the first place. Though, as One for All works by channelling energy through the body, it is theoretical that he would be able to. But even then, that doesn't mean he'd be able to actually copy the full power of One for All, at least not at the same extent as Deku.
Thea: One for All works by taking the power of the previous user and stacking them on top of each other. So while John might be able to copy Full Cowling and how One for All works, he wouldn't be able to copy One for All's power.
Bryant: But for the fight, we decided to give John the benefit of doubt. Again. We assumed that John and Deku would have the same level of power. But this actually still ended up back in Deku's favor. Why?
Thea: This is my time to shine baby. The reason is simple. The difference in builds. Both John and Deku are not even close to being unathletic. The thing is, they had different ways of working out. John was a martial artist, and while that did mean he was well fit, he didn't have that bulkiness that Deku had. We can even tell by looking at John and Deku in certain moments. John was slim and toned, the same way a martial artist or athlete would be. Sure Deku isn't exactly Jonathan Joestar or Kenshiro, but his entire workout routine is about making him buffer to better withstand One for All. So his muscles are probably better suited to wield One for All than John's are.
Bryant: Why is this relevant? Because the damage one receives from One for All is dependent on how much muscle density they have.
Thea: So since John didn't have the muscle density that Deku had, his body was in worse shape than Deku's after using One for All. leaving him vulnerable for the much better adapted Deku to land a blow on him. Heck, when Deku wasn't as adapted to One for All as he is now, he was helpless whenever he used it! But now he can still move around and use his body, like in the fight against Muscular.
Bryant: John was certainly a powerful tyrant, and it's likely he'll only become stronger as the story goes on. But for now, Deku's greater strength, speed, and durability gave him the tools he needed to snag a victory against him.
Thea: Tyrants just Doe not win against heroes. Which means the winner of this WI Battle is Izuku Midoriya!
This took too long to come out. Hope you enjoyed it. If you haven't read UnOrdinary, please do and show Uru-chan, the author, some love. Trust me, the bio for John does not do the series justice. As per the usual, leave a review! Azure out!
Thea: Yo Danny Fenton he was just fourteen when his parents built a very strange machine. It was designed to view a world unseen. He's gonna catch 'em all cause he's Danny Phantom!
Bryant: It started when an alien device did what it did. It stuck itself upon his wrist with secrets that it hid. Now he's got super powers he's no ordinary kid. He's Ben 10.
Thea: …
Bryant: …
Thea: I think it's obvious.
Bryant: Indeed.
DANNY PHANTOM!
VS
BEN 10!
