UA's Finest (My Hero Academia) versus The Mamodo Children (Zatch Bell)

[Nik Hasta]

Thought of this one on the way home from work, figured it might be a fun one even if I have to do a lot of the lifting on the Mamodo Children feats.

Alright, a smattering of battles for your pleasure. Demons do not have their book partners and can freely use their magic at will unless stated otherwise.

1v1 Matches

All one-on-one matches take place in the stadium from the tournament arc of MHA. The combatants start off in the ring but are not restricted in where they travel to in the environs of the stadium.

Deku vs Won Lei

Big punching boy versus the kung fu master. This is current Deku. Won Lei is taken from his final battle of the series against Unko Tintin. Li Yan is not present, Won Lei can freely cast his own magic.

Bakugou and Red Riot vs Gash Bell

Explosions and Toughness versus Lightning and Toughness. Current Bakugou and Red Riot. Gash is taken from the end of the Zophise arc. Kiyomaru is present and will provide direction for Gash and must cast for him as in the story. However, Kiyomaru cannot be physically hurt, though he can be physically moved or thrown like normal, and, while the book cannot be burnt, he can be disarmed. No Answer Talker ability for Kiyomaru.

Shouto Todoroki vs Umagon and Cherish

Fire and Ice vs Fire and Ice. Current Todoroki is up. Umagon and Cherish are both taken from the end of the Faudo arc. No book masters are present.

Team Matches

All matches take place in Leicester Square in London. It is completely deserted. As before, no book masters unless otherwise stated.

Iida, Ochako and Yaoyorozu vs Tio, Roppes and Momon

Battle of more technical fighters (and Iida) Current versions of the MHA kids. Tio, Roppes and Momon are from the end of the Faudo Arc but Tio does not have Chajiru Seishirudon. No book masters present.

Class 1A versus Brago

The whole of Class 1A get thrown at the demon of the black book. Brago is from the mid point of the Zophise Arc. Class 1A get a ten minute strategy meeting and a full briefing of Brago's abilities. Brago has to wait in the middle of the square and Class 1A can allocate their forces to attack from different locations matching the points of the compass. Sherry is not present, Brago can cast magic at will. He only knows that a lot of enemies are coming, he does not know numbers or abilities.

Might add some more later, but that'll do for now.

[Dark Soul # 7]

I don't remember much of the mamoo kids from beyond the final arc. But I think that they generally have more super human stats than the MHA kids so I'd probably lean in their favor in most match-ups.

In the final arcs, yes, they are wildly beyond anything in MHA's ability to handle. This is why I chose specific characters with specific limitations.

I will do breakdowns after I've drunk another can and had a shower.

[Nik Hasta]

Alright, I'm clean and not sober but it's Wednesday in an election cycle so humour me.

So! The Mamodo Children.

Deku vs Won Lei

Big punching boy versus the kung fu master. This is current Deku. Won Lei is taken from his final battle of the series against Unko Tintin. Li Yan is not present, Won Lei can freely cast his own magic.

Won Lei! Kung fu good boy and general brick. He's got ringer-ish speed, arguably a little higher but not confirmed bullet time. He's deadlifted rocks and metal spheres about the size of small houses and keeps on trucking after being hit with weapons on the same scale. His striking power exceeds his deadlift when he employs magic. He can also summon energy tiger attacks to hit things.

My rationality for this match up is that he's a probably a little faster than Deku and definitely more skilled. Deku has a better tactical mind and a superior range game on his side and he's physically stronger.

Bakugou and Red Riot vs Gash Bell

Explosions and Toughness versus Lightning and Toughness. Current Bakugou and Red Riot. Gash is taken from the end of the Zophise arc. Kiyomaru is present and will provide direction for Gash and must cast for him as in the story. However, Kiyomaru cannot be physically hurt, though he can be physically moved or thrown like normal, and, while the book cannot be burnt, he can be disarmed. No Answer Talker ability for Kiyomaru.

Okay, Gash is effectively a fusion of Kirishima and Bakugou. Physically durable and tough with a solid range game from his lightning blasts. The weakness here is that he's outnumbered and if Kiyomaru is disarmed he loses the majority of his powers though his physical stats remain.

At this point in the story, he's incredibly physically durable and like a class 20 - 30ish type dude at base. He has a magical technique that boosts his physical stats a fair bit so he's a bit of a physical monster in that form but it only lasts for 30 seconds. He has a number of different lightning shooting techniques into the bargain.

This match will require Bakugou and Kirishima to cooperate and conquer and exploit the obvious weakness that Kiyomaru represents.

Shouto Todoroki vs Umagon and Cherish

Fire and Ice vs Fire and Ice. Current Todoroki is up. Umagon and Cherish are both taken from the end of the Faudo arc. No book masters are present.

Umagon is a speedster horse, who can make afterimages with his speed, who can manipulate flame, Cherish is an effectively normal human physically who can shoot ice abilities. Cherish's best strategy is to retreat to a distance and start using her ice sniper rifle but that obviously leaves her static and vulnerable. Umagon hits hard and moves fast but his wide range flames lack potency. Todoroki is effectively a bigger gun than either of them but he's outnumbered and Umagon is physically more intimidating.

A tough fight for Shoto but he has a good shot here.

Team Matches

Iida, Ochako and Yaoyorozu vs Tio, Roppes and Momon

Battle of more technical fighters (and Iida) Current versions of the MHA kids. Tio, Roppes and Momon are from the end of the Faudo Arc but Tio does not have Chajiru Seishirudon. No book masters present.

As the name would suggest, this is a bunch of more esoteric/technical fighters.

Tio is almost entirely defensive her spells, specialising in shields. She has two attacks, one very weak and another that requires to take damage and experience rage to power it up. Otherwise she's mostly defensive. Roppes can summon ropes with hooks to chuck big chunks of earth at people and Momon is a hyper mobile gimmick monkey. He can bend attacks away from their target, hit things with a slow motion beam that slows them down temporarily, swim through the earth and walk on air.

None of them are physical powerhouses so this very much a battle of strategy.

Class 1A versus Brago

The whole of Class 1A get thrown at the demon of the black book. Brago is from the mid point of the Zophise Arc. Class 1A get a ten minute strategy meeting and a full briefing of Brago's abilities. Brago has to wait in the middle of the square and Class 1A can allocate their forces to attack from different locations matching the points of the compass. Sherry is not present, Brago can cast magic at will. He only knows that a lot of enemies are coming, he does not know numbers or abilities.

This is one is mostly just for fun. Brago is physical monster who can punch out bulldozers and can obliterate large chunks of mountains and castles with his gravity spells. This is a powerhouse against a range of gimmicks and I'm more interested in seeing what strategies the UA team could employ here.

Brago is likely fast enough to settle this before anyone else becomes relevant, but on the off chance that he isn't, there are some interesting possibilities.

The most relevent one being "Does Uraraka's quirk make the rest of UA functionally immune to Brago's gravity spells?"

If so, that gives them quite the defensive benefit, though it does come with some downsides as far as mobility goes, and they don't have any offensive quirks that will be able to work around Brago's durability.

[Nik Hasta]

Uraraka's antigravity could theoretically work against Brago's AoE gravity crush spells. It won't work on his actual blast type attacks.
