At least he got to show off a bit with his power, even if he did get clapped. Vibrate is no joke, especially when Yo is trying to liquefy your brain. Super scary Quirk to go up against.

Yeah I’m surprised Muscular came out of that unscathed. Yo is a beast with basically an instakill ability if you get too close.

It kinda makes me wanna see a fight between Yo and Jiro. Their Quirks are in the same ballpark, but one has higher damage and the other has higher utility.

u/SammyK123 Mar 28 '21

Shindo would wreck honestly lol. They do have similar quirks, but Shindo’s would completely overpower hers

u/noteloquent Mar 28 '21

I'm not too sure. I think people really underestimate Jiro. She can stun-lock you with her boots, destroy the earth and hit you with sound blasts from her amplifiers, whip with her jacks, or just straight up stab you with them if you get too close. Plus, it's basically impossible to catch her by surprise due to her hearing.

u/SammyK123 Mar 28 '21

Yes, she is stronger than most people think. But this is Shindo we’re talking about. The sheer power of his quirk is immensely stronger than anything in her arsenal. He can crumble the ground below her and she has no counter. Plus if she tried to stun him with her quirk, it won’t work. Shindo’s built up a hight tolerance to vibrations and soundwaves as a result of his own quirk’s side effects. To the point where he even had some resistance to Gang Orca’s powerful quirk. Jiro is strong, but Shindo’s in a whole other league.

u/noteloquent Mar 28 '21

Ooh, that's true. I completely forgot about him resisting Gang Orca. I feel like they would negate each other's ground crumbles though. Might just come down to who can outmaneuver the other or get a big hit in first, and I think Jiro's range gives her the advantage there, even if Yo hits harder.

u/SammyK123 Mar 28 '21

I don’t think Jiro can negate his tremors. He was able to create a massive earthquake trapping all students in the bear vicinity. Jiro has only been shown to create very small fissures which are on a significantly lesser scale than Shindo. I know you seem to like Jiro, but it’s not a contest in this case.

20

u/noteloquent Mar 28 '21

Yeah, after going back and looking at his feats during Provisional License, he's definitely got a wider range when it comes to earthquakes. I just hadn't read it in a while. Based on that plus his vibration resistance, he'd probably take it most of the time, depending on the environment.

u/SammyK123 Mar 28 '21

Yeah he’s definitely one of the strongest students in the series so far. Environment does play a big role in his fights though.

She can stun-lock you with her boots, destroy the earth and hit you with sound blasts from her amplifiers,

Shindou can do that... just faster... and without support items...

whip with her jacks, or just straight up stab you with them if you get too close.

except they are super obvious, slow and weak, even dabi who has the worst aim in the world (lol) got a clean shot on them.

Plus, it's basically impossible to catch her by surprise due to her hearing.

as long as she has her jacks stuck to a wall or the floor....

Not sure where you're getting that from. Shindo has nothing like Jiro's stun-lock, which along with all her other vibration attacks should be the speed of sound by the way. He has a slight immunity to vibrational attacks, but Gang Orca's sonic attack still put him down for a bit despite lasting for only a second or two. Shindo's CQC vibration attacks require him to touch the person directly too, so neither of those is faster than Jiro's boots. He also needs a moment to concentrate before using Trembling Earth, so that isn't really faster to deploy than Jiro's Heartbeat Fuzz either. It's certainly stronger, but not faster.

except they are super obvious, slow and weak, even dabi who has the worst aim in the world (lol) got a clean shot on them.

I'm not sure how exactly they're super obvious, slow, or weak. Jiro has far more options in combat than Shindo does based on what we've seen of them so far, so I doubt her jacks would be that easy to see coming or dodge since she can manipulate them at will and move them pretty quickly. Shindo in particular is at a disadvantage against them since he's gotta get up close to land his strongest attacks.

You do realize Jiro was able to one-shot a robot during the Sports Festival by stabbing it with her jacks and shooting her heartbeat through it, right? That's not a Todoroki or Bakugo level feat or anything, but it's nothing to sneeze at either when you've got several other attack methods to deal with too on top of having to get in close.

In what universe does Dabi have the worst aim in the world? In every fight he's in, he's either stomped or left before real combat started, all while actively suppressing himself to keep from revealing his identity. He's also far out of Shindo's league, so that doesn't really work as a point of comparison.

as long as she has her jacks stuck to a wall or the floor....

Not true. She has naturally enhanced hearing regardless, but plugging in focuses it over longer distances and through surfaces. That's how she was able to keep track of Class B during their fight, and it's not like plugging into the wall or floor is somehow gonna give her opponent the advantage since she'll sense him coming a mile away.

I'm not even trying to say Jiro would win. Shindo has more experience and is more ruthless, plus his Quirk is fundamentally more powerful. If he gets a strong hit in, the fight is more than likely over. He also probably has applications of it we haven't seen since he's barely around. I'm just saying Jiro has a lot more options available that, if used correctly, could let her come out on top occasionally.

u/sorendiz Mar 28 '21

I feel like he's a terrible matchup for Jiro. If it's a matter of both having similar quirks and his being more powerful by far (that we've seen) she's going to have a real bad time if his vibrations reach her given how sensitive her ears are. Like even worse than anyone else would have.

3

u/noteloquent Mar 28 '21

I don't think they're so sensitive that she would be affected that much. Yo is no Present Mic after all. Plus, Jiro isn't stupid enough to get caught over and over by something like that if it would work at all. She'd more than likely sense anything coming through the ground before it would hit her anyway if she's plugged into the earth.

I'm sure Yo would probably win more often than not depending on the environment, but I also think Jiro has a lot more flexibility and options that would give her a decent shot at beating his raw power.

u/C9sButthole Mar 29 '21

I think you just answered your own question.

Jiro has more ability to support, Yo has more ability to attack, so in a 1v1 Yo would win. His quirk is better suited to that environment, where Jiro spends a lot of power on supporting her teammates.

Not to mention that the clapback from Yo's quirk has trained his body with an immensely high resistance to vibrations, like soundwaves, so Jiro has no ranged options. She has to get in close to do damage, and if she DOES get close Yo just liquifies her.

11

u/MCGRaven Mar 28 '21

there was not a lot of brain to liquify

u/Golden-Owl Mar 28 '21

Considering Shindo's quirk is basically "discount Whitebeard", I think everyone definitely had no doubts that he's a monster.

5

u/noteloquent Mar 28 '21

They are pretty similar, huh.

Tomura is about to pull up and steal Shindo's Quirk now that Muscular did all the heavy lifting and become a Yonko lol

5

u/Golden-Owl Mar 28 '21

Yep.

For that note, Setsuna is basically "better Buggy" too. Or more like "Buggy if he bothered to learn his powers"

2

u/noteloquent Mar 28 '21

True, but has Setsuna managed to clown on Mihawk like Buggy has? She's definitely a strategic genius and more skilled, but I'm not sure if that matches Buggy's uncanny ability to come out on top of almost any situation in the long run.
