Re: Boku no Hero Academia by Horikoshi Kouhei
Chapter 27 is out: http://bato.to/read/_/299900/boku-no-hero-academia_ch27_by_fallen-angels
Here's my impressions:
Great chapter as always. The explanation that the teachers gave in the beginning was interesting because now we are sure that this Sports Festival has everything to do with being a hero. Anyway, strategy was very important during this 15 minutes when they created the groups and Midoriya knew that, as always he is a natural strategist and I think he is going to win once again because of this. That's my bold bet! XD
In the end, the competition was what we predicted: the band worths the sum of all members of the team. It was not explicitally said, but I'm sure in the end, your own band is also counted, if you still have it. Therefore, Midoriya has many points already just with his group band.
Now, analysing Midoriya team:
Uraraka: BEST FRIEND EVER! She is awesome, she never abandon her friends! I knew it!

Midoriya didn't like to be friendzoned though. XD
Her function is clear, gravity power makes their mobility very good like Midoriya said.
Hatsume Mei: Any strategy was showed to her in this chapter and we have no idea what quirk she has. Her eyes looks like a sight though, she can have the power to look at great distances. It would be awesome.

The function of her junk remains unknown. XD
Tokoyami Fumikame: The most mysterious and, possibly, the most important in Midoriya's strategy because Midoriya had him in his mind since the beginning, it seems. We didn't have the opportunity to see his shadow quik in action much, but one thing I thought is that this shadow is like a fifth member of the team. Besides that, I don't know why Midoriya finds him so important and worthy enough to be the horse of the team. He doesn't look strong physically...
In short, this competition will be awesome. The epitome of strategy.
必勝!
