ooo, another chapter! i was actually just thinking about this fic the other day, nice to come back and see an update :D!
hehehe... the rivalries, the drama >:) and then going to the students watching the match! i think i said it before but i do love the bits on the sidelines, its fun to see :) especially monoma + todoroki hyping up kendo + momo respectively (well, todoroki being as hype as he can be. hes trying<3)
"its my time to shade" i love this little emo. dork. and the trickery with kendo hiding kuroiro in dark shadow so he could get closer and catch them off guard... clever, clever!
pony being a manga/comics nerd <3
oh kendo, oh momo, both so convinced that the other is some unreachable peak. honestly sometimes i wish that canon had done something a little more with their rivalry after the jta, but then again nearly everything interesting regarding class b that was brought up in this arc was just kinda forgotten afterwards. alas that is what fanfic is for. but this version of the fight is fun! looks like momo was able to fight back a bit more, and kendo looks a bit on the ropes with the laser lens attack, but it looks like shes got some sort of attack planned... cant wait to see how that ends up!
battle of the emos... or not cause kuro is going more for a distraction and possible capture rather than an attack lol. although hagakure doesnt seem to impressed by his speech 3 so funny how awkward it was after lol, she felt so bad and he was so embarrassed lmao. and then being cornered by tokoyami + dark shadow,, i get that he doesnt want to fight all that often but buddy. attack name so long that you lose the stealth advantage you depend on? but at least he was able to roll with it to get some more hits in. or was that the actual attack, rather than the initial kick? but hey, komori comes in clutch!
but what are manga + yui planning??? she probably gave him something thats gonna grow into something useful, but whats it gonna be? and why was he placing his words around the hideout? what are they going to do???
I'll admit that Kuroiro's plan did require a bit of faith that team 2A wouldn't pick up on it, but he knew that they'd mostly be focused on Kendo. A clever lil emo, he is. It wasn't much different to their plan in canon, except a lot safer.
I found Kendo and Yaoyorozu's dynamic very interesting and relatable. The feeling of knowing someone's "better" than you at everything you do makes you want to prove yourself or even distance yourself from that person. They definitely could've done more on that.
Kuroiro's ultimate move was the entire barrage from the shadows. The name thing kinda took away from the tension a little bit, but I just couldn't resist lol
As for what Manga's up to...that's a secret! Can't ruin the plan by giving it out early! If I did, they'd never forgive me...
