My Hero Academia Chapter 320 Discussion

[Herbert Playz]

Let The Hype Begin!
So this is a pretty hype chapter. It's a bit anti-climatic since we know that Deku isn't going all out in this fight. He can't because he's fighting his friends. Although, he might get a little more serious when Bakugo joins in.

Why Does Everyone Need to Know All The Details About One For All?
One thing about this fight though is that it seems that everyone is aware of his current power level. Bakugo even says that he heard how Deku unlocked the fourth and the sixth abilities. And that just feels like too much information for him to know. It's one thing for the others to know that Deku has One for All but for them to know that he is currently on a path to unlocking other quirks that are stored within it is a bit troubling. Theoretically anyone of them could be captured or even spied on by a villan and then All for One would know about his new abilities as well. Ochaco even knows that smokescreen is the sixth's ability!

The argument can be made for Bakugo to know about Deku's abilities since he was the first one to be let in on the secret but he just brazenly blasts the information out loud amongst the rest of class 1A and possibly civilians that could over hear.

New Abilities and Upgraded Quirks!
As we go through this chapter it seems like each class member is given a chance to shine and show off some new abilities. Momo's was a bit over the top but I liked it, because it shows how detailed she's become in creating stuff. It appears she created a machine to put Deku to sleep😅. Of course he breaks out of it but still, it just goes to show how versatile and potentially powerful her creation quirk can be.

The new move that really caught my eye was Tokoyami's Ragnarok: Womb. Just the name alone sounds epic! He's uses this move to imprison Deku momentarily but Deku shoots out of it. I suspect he uses FA Jin to escape but who knows. I feel like his enhanced strength via One For All should be enough by itself. Either way though, Tokoyami is very surprised so I suspect this must be a really strong new move for him.

Todoroki's heaven piercing ice wall sounds cool but I don't know how useful it will actually be for practical purposes. Those are the main ones that stood out to me. But the big ones I'm sure are yet to come. Bakugo, Ochaco and Lida. Between those three I'm sure we'll get a few surprises.

My Impressions of The Battle So Far
The more I think about the way this battle is going, the more I miss the old Deku. I like the Deku that thinks things through, strategizes and finds a way to win or lose in a spectacular way. 

By the end of all this I'm hoping Deku is able to crush them all but they somehow convince him to stay. There is no way that he can beat All for One and Shigiraki without displaying a lot more power. I still think Deku would have a lot of trouble with Gigantomachia if he fought him 1 v 1. As a matter of fact its really hard for me to think of any hero that could take him on and supposedly he's only the third most powerful villian that we currently know about. So in my mind there is still a lot more leveling up that Deku has to do.
