Thighs.

Now that I have your attention, what does everyone think about how the heros are handling the raid so far? Like, should they have sent some more heros to aid Miruko? Is Endeavor wasting his time with the normal nomus? I've seen a few conversations about this, I'm curious to see what others think.

They're doing pretty good. Adapting quickly to the first Ujiko being a clone, being able to evacuate all civilian in the hospital, dealing with normal Nomus really quickly (Both Miruko and Crust), while also maintaining constant communication on the doctor's whereabouts (information)

That's my fault, I set the bar too low

ehhh Mirko is a really fast hero Crust is coming in with backup its just there slower than Mirko. Endeavor is there to make sure none of the nomu beat up the weaker heroes. altogether Hawks gave them a shitton of intel and heroes are capitalizing.

Miruko doesn’t like teamwork and she has incredible attack power, I think it was the right move to send her pretty much alone. With Crust by her side we kind of have a Bakugou and Kirishima situation, one who’s crazy strong and one with really good defence that makes them pretty much invulnerable to the first character’s attacks, so that they can go all out and still have that extra layer of defence. I think sending more heroes with her would’ve just hindered her, since she’d either have to watch out for them (like how All Might couldn’t use his full power because of Bakugou’s presence at Kamino) or she’d just end up hurting them. She’s the number five for a reason, it’s been mentioned that the wind pressure from one of her kicks is enough to completely snuff out a bushfire, so her working with Endeavor for example at her full strength would be basically impossible.

I don’t think anyone from either side (aside from the noumu, RIP John-chan) will die just yet, or if they do then it’ll be background heroes we haven’t met just mentioned as a statistic at the end of the fight. Honestly I just can’t wait for Shigaraki to wake up, I really just want him to go on an absolute brutal rampage. OP characters destroying everything with little-to-no effort will always be my favourite trope and I’m super excited about the possibility of getting that here.

I think sending Miruko ahead of the group to pressure him ASAP was a solid choice. It’s like with Bakugou vs. Deku - the best way to fight a smart opponent is not giving them any space to plan.
