I'll probably make a poll out of this soon once the final match concludes, but what's everyone's favorite match so far? I've found myself liking every successive match more than the last. I hope the pattern persists and that the last match will be the best.
The first match is a solid baseline with some cool moments, but some team members got shafted pretty hard like Kirishima, and Koda. Shinso's Persona Code and Eraser Head Style attack, as well as Tsuyu's dropkick were some of my personal highlights. Kaminari showing intellectual improvement was awesome too. While the second hurts me because Momo's team got wiped out like that, I can't deny what a pleasure it was to see such a well-oiled machine in the form of Kendo's team. Plus, all the TodoMomo. Mmm. Good Shit™. The next match had great moments throughout the entire match, from Recipro Turbo, to Octoblow, and Tetsutetsu's intense one-on-one with Shoto. I liked that it was a straightforward slugfest, but what I liked the most is probably the fact that everyone had their own cool moments, even Ojiro. This latest match is disappointing with the unfair treatment 1-B received and the lack of some really good moments for both Sato and Sero, but the unstoppable Bakugasm totally outweighed that for me.
Ahh, fair enough.
Hehehe.
Nor did we for some of the students in the past matches. I hoped we would at least learn a few for this match, Tokage's, perhaps. Shame we didn't. Guess we'll either have to wait for the volume or next character data book.
If it helps, Horikoshi has said before that he wants to showcase Mina's abilities and character more than any of the other girls. He's disappointed that he hasn't been able to (or found a good opportunity, I guess?), but here is a perfect chance for that, so maybe we'll get something good for her. I would pick her having screen time over everyone but Deku and Shinso, so I hope that she'll at least get some memorable moments and contribute largely to the (possible) victory.
The fifth match will probably be longer chapter-wise cause we might see some vestiges stuff (another flashback or dream sequence, ideally) and also due to Shinso's presence, so... maybe all four members of Deku's team will get their moments.
