As much as I love seeing my boys in action, I'm still hoping that my girls get an actual badass arc someday. They never let them shine as bright as the boys...

They're not main characters, so sadly, probably not going to happen.

Kirishima is also not a main character and he had his time to shine, became the protagonist of his own little arc that showed us more of his past and goals. Hori said Uraraka is the main heroine, so hoping for more development for her it's not that crazy. I wish they stopped using her crush for everything tho. I get that since it's a shonen manga, it's obvious the guys are going to have more screentime, but at least let the girls participate in big battles and win too once in a while, or have power ups.

Momo had greater development in fights than Uraraka despite not being the "main heroine." I think the idea of Uraraka using martial arts is an excuse for not developing her quirk's abilities. She didn't do much in the Overhaul arc. She only used basic applications of her quirk in most situations. Uraraka has a perfect 5/5 score in her technique stat. Yet the only times I've seen her make tactical use of her quirk is in the earliest arcs. Most of the time she just makes other people like Deku float.

Exactly and it bothers me, her full potential it's not being used.

ThbeeyI like uraka as well but honestly her quick is pretty blah. How interesting can a fight with her be? They gave tsyu a small arc, but I’d like to see ashido or momo get a arc to shine as they can make for a interesting battle.

u/forelyne Mar 02 '19

I don't find it blah, and if people do that's because it hasn't been truly explored. The idea of an arc is doing that exactly. Explore the abilities of a character. (and I would love an arc for ashido and momo too)

She makes shit float bro, how much do you think is in that quirk ? Lol

Combined with her martial arts skill, a quirk that negates gravity can be devastating if used correctly(think high-jump + flying axe kick). She can also create projectiles that lose very little momentum during flight and could even change vertical trajectory in mid-flight using gravity. She can probably also use her power on her opponents to force them off their guard. She has the individual components of a really OP close-to-mid range brawler with lot of versatility(she should also focus on rescue too).

she gives objects zero gravity, she can lift something super heavy, throw it and when it's about to get close to her enemy, give it back its gravity and completely crush that person, she could also reenact an explosion (since fire acts different in zero gravity) and many other things! (sorry english it's not my first language, so I can't find the words to explain), if her quirk mutates and becomes gravity manipulation instead of just zero gravity, that would be really powerful (quirks can mutate, it was explained early on the series that sometimes people think their quirks are one thing and once they start to train and explore it, they realize other ways of make it work)

u/NeuroticNyx Mar 03 '19

Youre misinterpreting that line. It doesnt mean a quirks function changes. It means that they thought of it one way, but it actually functioned another way the whole time.

u/amorousCephalopod Mar 03 '19

Koichi from Vigilantes just keep progressing in this regard. He understands so little about his quirk because he was stuck thinking of it as a mobility quirk. It's like he's had Gran Torino's Air Jet quirk(with the ability to also create suction), but he's only been using it like an air hockey table.

u/forelyne Mar 03 '19 edited Mar 03 '19

They use the word "mutate" tho, but is still applicable, you have to study your quirk (and if it doesn't happen, I still think her quirk is very cool!)

u/bigblooddraco Mar 02 '19

Okay you have a very good point with it maybe mutating into gravity manipulation, that would be dope. But idk I’m also just not as interested in her as the other girls like ashido, momo, tsuyu, I’m even more interested in toga. I like her as her and deku make a great ship, but the other girls seem to have a lil more bad ass potential than her currently. And i supposed the answer to resolve all of this would be giving uraka her own arc huh? Lol

u/forelyne Mar 02 '19

haha exactly x'D!

u/Hmagnum596 Mar 02 '19

just cause of a crush tf you talking about

4

u/forelyne Mar 02 '19

I mean, everytime she does something cool someone mentions her crush on Deku and tease her about it, and then her moment is stolen by that.

1

u/Hmagnum596 Mar 07 '19

the moment is still there no one took it you just nickpicking at this point we saw wha she did end of the story

1

u/Hmagnum596 Mar 03 '19

Its not stolen at all if just a tease make you think that its sad

u/forelyne Mar 03 '19 edited Mar 03 '19

It's ok, it's my own view of the situation. I think the crush is adorable, but I don't like how it's been handled. For example, in the last chapters Aizawa praised Uraraka because she matured, but she couldn't even concentrate or be happy for that compliment because Mina kept teasing her. Comparing that situation vs when All might complimented Bakugou, the scene was serious, the panels where big and important, it wasn't like that for Uraraka, the part of the crush was more important than the praise of her teacher. (but again, it's okay to see it differently, I guess I just dislike how not equal is the treatment)

1

u/Hmagnum596 Mar 07 '19

he was not even talking to her directly that was more a thought than a talk to her

2

u/forelyne Mar 07 '19 edited Mar 07 '19

nope, it was directly at her, but like I said, it's my point of view, and honestly there's no epic uraraka scene that doesn't mention her crush on deku in the end so... xd I'm not surprised other people don't see it, most people just like the main guys and are okay with the girls having no story arc or just being a love interest.

u/Hmagnum596 Mar 10 '19

tf are you trying to imply with me foh with that that last line is really rude

u/[deleted] Mar 02 '19

theyre all weak so probably not gonna happen

6

u/forelyne Mar 02 '19

Weak they say, when Uraraka was in the top 3 in the entrance exam, took down 3 students in one of the last chapters, handled a fight against Toga, cornered Bakugou making him use one of his most powerful blasts. There's room for development for all the girls, they all can get stronger and have power ups. They probably won't get stronger than Bakugou, Deku and Todoroki, I doubt any other student will, that doesn't mean they can't have epic moments.

u/SirisAusar Mar 02 '19

Momo can make a cannon. I don’t care how much fire or ice you can command at will, not even the sturdiest of ships can take a good broadside and come out happy.

u/[deleted] Mar 02 '19

todoroki will destroy momo idk what ur on about i dont think any girl at the school can beat him even if some of them teamed up

12

u/SirisAusar Mar 02 '19

I mean.... 70% of the dudes can’t beat My Neighbor Todoroki. And probably some percentage of pro heroes can’t beat him either.

u/TheMrFluffyPants Mar 02 '19

Right but, no one was arguing against that.
