I'm being hopeful that there isn't going to be any reversal to this. Deku's plan was pretty good given the situation, and even if a 100% OfA blow misses just the shockwave would probably still do damage from that distance. More importantly, Deku will be useless after this, so it kind of has to work unless he's going to rescued by someone (which I doubt since it explicitly had him thinking about how no one will come to rescue him).

No one is coming, but someone is already there.

This guy seems really loving tough. It wouldn't shock me if he just gets blown away rather than gibbed.

Extremely physically strong, at least. It looked like he pulled off his version of All-Might's airblasts with one of his punches.

Or maybe I just mistook some action lines for it.

Well, there are actually plenty of kids in the class who wouldn't be necessarily hobbled by losing an arm (If it was say, Tokoyami he could probably have his shadow be his substitute arm), and while there's no catpaw on it it could belong to Ragdoll maybe (doubtful). I can't imagine it not being someone's arm or it being an illusion or something. Also a huge fakeout like it not being real would be bullshit fake tension and Horikoshi doesn't seem like the type to pull that.

Unless Kouta hits this dude in his other eye I can't imagine Muscles McGee being terribly impressed by whatever form Kouta's watercannon quirk takes since it looks like all it can do is break a bit of stone. I figured he was going to save the day by stopping Dabi since water vs fire and all that.

Water vs Fire power wise is a fairly even match. As they just create Steam when they meet.

Deku is punching this dude at 100%, even if it doesn't take him out it's going to leave a mark. Which is when the angry kid faced with his parent's killer and inspired by heroism can go hog wild with the combined power of his parents, fully actualized. Putting a dent in the side of a mountain by aimlessly flailing about is a whole lot of power.

Mostly a setup chapter but still good. Deku trapping his arm between that dude's muscle fibers was the gnarliest thing. Looking forward to seeing that punch land.

Magne's design reminds me of Morel (from Hunter x Hunter). His power seems related to that overly large thing he's been carrying around too.

His painfully broken, useless arm.

Deku's massive sand-dragging balls are his real Quirk.

Possible. I find the idea of a student being a mole to be a more fun idea to extrapolate on but really the Villain Alliance didn't really get rolling until All Might was announced as a teacher which was AFTER the entrance exam.

The way I see it is even if a Saitama grade swat to the face doesn't turn him into hamburger meat, Muscle Fibers Frank is still probably going to get hit hard enough to separate him from Deku, who is presently wrist deep in his sinew. One way or another we are about to see some arm annihilation.

Re: villains Muscle Fibre said he was basically assigned to take out Deku, right? So are they all hard counters for specific groups of students/teachers? Did they also know who had split up into which groups and tracked them down, or was it just dumb luck Muscle Fibre ran into Deku? I think it was the latter if I'm recalling the dialogue correctly.

I believe the orders were assigned to everyone, not just Muscle Fiber. Anyone who encountered Deku was supposed to kill him, whoever encountered Bakugou was supposed to do whatever they had planned for him, etc. They probably had assigned locations, like for the forest trap, and there were probably assigned people for the teachers, but I doubt they could have known where each student would be since the students picked the pairs at random.

Interesting they picked out Deku for a kill order. Unless I already forgot the outcome of Handy's brief chat.

edit, oh, predictions. I think they're gonna kidnap Baron Explodikill and bug out, with a couple of their guys getting wasted. Just a random shot in the dark and kind of the most obvious thing if they're not going to specifically wreck Bakugou.

I'm thinking less "convince" and maybe more "torture into crazyness" or just straight up "gonna find a body in three weeks"

I expect that if Midoriya OHKOs Muscles it probably will cause his quirk to release- since it seems to take conscious effort to build them up. So he'll release his arm when Midoriya's 100% punch blasts him into unconsciousness.

As for Bakugou; it comes off to me that the villain alliance watched the tournament, did proper recon, and are basically assigning opposite numbers to the most dangerous students. There are likely villains there specifically to kill Todoroki and Midoriya too- and since Tokoyami placed high in the tournament it wouldn't be shocking if Chatterer might have been his foil.

If you're as confused by unfamiliar names as I was, the two people in front of Bakogou/Ice Burn were birdboy/octopus boy. And that doesn't look like one of octopus boy's arms. :ohdear:

Though it would be neato if Fumikage ends up with a cool shadow arm.
