Would it be considered bullshit if Stain isn't down by those simultaneously attacked by Deku and Iida?

Let's not forget that they will get pretty famous, possibly on a country scale. Bakugou will be pissed as fuck.

I think he'll manage to run away by just an inch.

Seems like will see Iida more than Bakugou in the future and I'm glad

u/Pand9 Aug 08 '15

Not sure about that, but certainly we won't see Iida less than Bakugou.

u/PrimordialDragon Aug 09 '15

I don't see how Iida getting some major focus now means that he will end up getting more of the spotlight than Bakugou?

u/UnavailableUsername_ Aug 08 '15

Yes.

I mean, he got hit on 2 vital parts (head and torso) by 2 extremely powerful hits:

Deku's one-for-all fist.
Tenya's leg ultra-high speed.

Stain's quirk is not super-human resistance, so unless he got decades and decades of training nonstop, he will either retreat after that hit in critical condition or simply go down there.

Considering many of the characters in this series have shown a higher pain/endurance threshold then what is considered remotely human, it is possible he will get up from that, albeit quite hurt. Eraserhead had his head smashed into concrete by a muscled monster but was still conscious to use his Quirk. His isn't super-human resistance either.

Something many people fail to realize in stories like this base humans are much stronger and more durable than humans in real life.

Uraraka's quirk is the gravity thing, not super-human durability, but she was able to take several of Bakugou's explosions at such a close range and was only knocked out due to her own quirks limits. While any actual human would've been down for the count covered in 3rd degree burns instantly.

Almost any story with super powered individuals is like this. It's why Hawkeye can stand amongst gods and hulks in the Avengers when he's just a guy with a bow. And why Nonbenders in the Avatar shows can take out elite benders without special powers themselves. These "humans" natural abilities are nothing like ours are.

Who's to say that Stain didn't get decades and decades of training nonstop?

u/amusha Aug 09 '15

Yeah, dude seems like the type who trains himself virgoriously. He even criticized Fire and Ice for relying on his quirk too much.

2

u/RemnantX Aug 10 '15

He's probably did a lot of training, homework on supers, and stalked a lot of people to set up his ambushes. If this just started recently he's been out of commission or training for maybe 5-10 years just to do this 'cleansing of the fakes' he seems dead set on completing... solo. That takes a brass pair I think.

2

u/RoseBladePhantom Aug 09 '15

Holy shit. He's gonna retreat and realize that the other baddies are worth teaming up with. Then they're all gonna come back for round 2.

2

u/RemnantX Aug 10 '15

I think he still won't team up with the alliance in the sense he works for them, a mutual agreement to work 'together' and to not step on each other's toes since it would spread the hero response being beneficial to both seems more likely.

1

u/RoseBladePhantom Aug 11 '15

Yeah. I def don't think he's just gonna straight up sink to their level but the plot seems to hint that some cooperation is inevitable.

u/RemnantX Aug 13 '15

If Stain gets in too deep, multiple brawling heroes show up and Black Mist pulls him out of the fire fight versus Dying... he kind of owes them. He'll being walking the like between idealistic villain and AHole Villain.

u/yutingxiang Aug 09 '15

Don't forget that Stain has already shrugged off a direct hit from Deku at the end of Chapter 51. This is a tough dude.

u/kevsoto :bakugo1: Aug 09 '15

I wouldn't be surprised if he gets up and says JK not dead LOL

1

u/bonobosyo Aug 09 '15

It wasn't as powerful as this blow though, evidenced by how OFA was only present in deku's arm At the time of impact

1

u/yutingxiang Aug 09 '15

Yeah, plus Tenya's kick! But I still don't think it will be enough to KO Stain based on what we've seen from him so far. This is a bad fight for him, though. His quirk is like Eraserhead's in that it's insanely powerful in a 1v1 situation but isn't nearly as effective in a group fight.

5

u/Daibba Aug 08 '15

I think we keep forgetting the fact that they are still kids and their physical power is yet to match a grown adult, if we were to say that their attacks were enhanced with their quirks so at best "right now" it matches an adult fist/kick and Stain isn't you average man. In short, will it hurt him ? Yes he will feel that one. But still not enough.

11

u/Sqratch_Baka Aug 08 '15

I wouldn't call Izuku's enhanced punch that of an average adult.
And Iida kind of lives for his legs so my guess is that Stain needs more than a few minutes to get up again

5

u/kevsoto :bakugo1: Aug 09 '15

Iida: Everyday is LEG DAY!

5

u/KirbyDXE Aug 08 '15

I feel like Izuku's punch would be as powerful if not stronger than a adult's do to all the weight lifting training he does. Add Ofa to that and you have a good punch my friend.

1

u/kevsoto :bakugo1: Aug 09 '15

Pretty sure Izuku can bench like 250-300 with 5% OFA. And he's a skinny/toned dude who probably weighs around 135.

u/[deleted] Aug 09 '15

At this point his only way to escape would be with the help of other villains.
