Interlude[]
Cue: Wiz and Boomstick (Death Battle intro theme)
Kirbo: Izuku Midoriya, the new wielder of One for All from My Hero Academia
Demo: Po Ping, the totally awesome Dragon Warrior from Kung Fu Panda
Kirbo: Sometimes, due to life's circumstances, you may not be able to fulfill that dream you longed for, but what would happen if by some miracle you managed to?
Demo: It was a struck of luck that they got here so far. He's Kirbo and i'm Demoman!
Kirbo: It's our job analyze their weapons, armor and skill to found out who will win... A DEATH BATTLE!
Izuku Midoriya is One for All in DEATH BATTLE![]
Kirbo: Superpowers, everyone at least once in their life dreamed about having those, i mean, who wouldn't love having Super Strength to lift up cars or Super Flight to fly around wherever you like.
Demo: Sadly, due to being fictional and because of the STUPID LAWS OF PHYSICS! We won't be able to ever have those experiences... But what if that wasn't the case?
Kirbo: Welcome to the world of My Hero Academia! A place where almost all people have superpowers, or better known as Quirks. There are a wide variety of them too, pyrokinesis, telepathy, gigantism, super speed, you name it! Tho, there are some cases where a quirk can be useless... Like having an extremely long neck for some reason.
Demo: However, not anyone can have these kinds of powers, approximately 20% of the population has been deemed as Quirkless, meaning that they can't have the fun of having one. But that doesn't matter, i bet the protagonist of this Anime/Manga has some cool and flashy quirk, right...?
Kirbo: Not quite, you see: A young boy had a dream, a dream about becoming a famous superhero just like his idol All Might, but the devastating truth soon struck him. Izuku Midoriya was borned... Quirkless.
Demo: Crap, talk about getting the lower end of the stick.
Kirbo: Indeed. But even after this shocking revelation Izuku, or nicknamed Deku by his bully Katsuki Bakugo, didn't gave up and tried his hardest to enter U.A. High School, an academy that contains the best heroic education in Japan.
Demo: However, things looked very bleak for Izuku. He got his notebook burned by Bakugo, he also told him to kill himself; and to make matters worst he was about to get killed by a sludge villain... Ew. But luckily, All Might came to the rescue and save him; Izuku then questioned if he could be a hero without a quirk, which All Might responded with a huge NO. Jeez...
Kirbo: That statement wouldn't last long, since when Izuku saw his bully of all people getting attacked by the same sludge monsters, and instead of cowarding out he jumped straight ahead to save him. This scene inspired All Might and soon gave him an opportunity to become a real hero.
Demo: Months of pure and exaggerated training went by, and Izuku was finally ready to get to play on the big leagues, but for him to do that he'll need to gain a quirk called One for All. How do you obtain it? By literally eating hair.
Kirbo: It may not be the most conventional way to get superpowers but hey! At least Izuku has a quirk now, and a very powerful one too. Too bad his body was barely used to using the power and ended up having 0 points in the U.A entrance exam. But thanks to saving a sweet girl named Uraraka from a giant robot, she was able to convince the teachers to give him a chance. After all that hard work, Izuku is finally able to become a real hero, step by step.
Demo: But that will just be the beginning of very painful misadventures, all thanks to some dudes named All for One and Tomura Shigaraki. You see, these two evil-doers where the leaders of a great organization called The League of Villains, who were planning on taking down the hero society.
Kirbo: Despite all of their efforts, their plans were always foiled time and time again, and even after All for One's defeat against All Might, Shigaraki still lead the group to not give up.
Demo: This eventually lead up to a total war between the Heroes and Villains, so it was up to Izuku, Class 1-A and every remaining hero to stop a giant horde of villains while also trying to save the innocent civilians. Many lifes were loss in the event and many heroes died aswell, but the end of this war was between these two, Izuku and Shigaraki
Kirbo: The battle was heated and both of them were giving all they got, but fortunately for us; Good triumphed over Evil once again and Izuku landed the final blow on Shigaraki to ultimately defeat him. Oh and also he kinda obliterated All for One while he was in Shig's body by punching them really heard so...
Demo: And the world was finally save at last! After so much suffering.
Kirbo: Yeah but, what happens next? We didn't mention Izuku's fate after the final battle.
Demo: Don't worry, basically he ends up Quirkless yet again and in a 9-5 job as a teacher for the rest of his life!
Kirbo: Oh uh... That's pretty bad... Does he at least confesses to Uraraka?-
Demo: No.
Kirbo: Ah darn. I really like that ship...
Demo: Maybe next time buddy.
Kirbo: Now, let's start easy by explaining how does Izuku's quirk work. You see: Izuku is considered the 9th wielder of One for All, a quirk that's pass on every generation. The first wielder being Yoichi Shigaraki; the young twin brother of All for One.
Demo: It's not an easy quirk to master either, since the user must train their body to an extreme level to even handle a slight part of its power, if the user fails this condition, their body will blow up, seriously.
Kirbo: With that set let's move on to his flashy techniques, like the most notable one being Detroit Smash, a straightforward hit that's powerful enough to create massive shockwaves and winds that knock opponents away. It even has a 5% and 100% variations.
Demo: Next we have the Delaware Smash, Instead of using his whole fist, Deku flicks his fingers to create a strong shockwave, and combined with his useful Air Force Gloves he can use make air blast to strike opponents from a long range.
Kirbo: Then we have Texas Smash, much like the Detroit Smash this one starts by Izuku concentrating One for All in his fist and upon launching the mighty smash he makes it strong enough to even blast a city wit air pressure alone.
Demo: Wyoming Smash is a tad more different, instead of being a fist it's actually a double hammer strike to spike opponents straight to the concrete, their poor skulls tho...
Kirbo: But Izuku's One for All isn't just to punch really hard, he can also use a technique called Full Cowl, where it allows him to transfer his quirk's energy around his body evenly It helps him to have better strenght, speed, durability and movility. It also have some percentages too, he can use up to 30% and 45% without having any straining, and go as far as 100% too, but the latter has some drawbacks.
Demo: Deku has also never skipped leg day, since he also mastered a special technique with Full Cowl, called Shoot Style. Here he channels One for All to his lower wait and legs, giving Deku the power to pretty much kick REALLY hard. Like in his Manchester Smash for example: where Deku flips into the air and lands an axe kick straight onto the enemy.
Kirbo: Or like in St. Louis Smash, here Izuku channels One for All in one of his legs do deliver a strong vertical roundhouse kick to an enemy. It also has an Air Force variation that creates a large blast of compressed air.
Demo: And finally to close up with Shoot Style, we have the United States of World Smash. Unlike the one performed by All Might, Deku unleashes a volley of punches before gaining momentum and heading straight into the enemy with a devastating kick.
Kirbo: Now, you may be thinking that Izuku isn't that impressive, he just punches and kicks really hard right? Well, that was before he gained his other quirks. Which belonged to the previous One for All users. Let's look at them real quick.
Demo: Up first we have Blackwhip, an ability that makes Deku shoot black tendrils of dark energy from his body and that can be controlled at will. He can mainly shoot it out of his mouth and arm, and can even envelope himself in it to puppet his body and keep fighting.
Kirbo: Then we have Smokescreen, like the name implies, Izuku releases a large amount of smoke to blind his opponents. he can also emit a Full Blast to create a bigger smoke cloud in an instant, but Izuku can blind himself if it uses too much smoke too.
Demo: And out of all other quirks, Float is pretty much the simplest here, it just gives Deku the ability to levitate mid-air and that's pretty much it.
Kirbo: Taking a page out of Spider-Man's book, we have Danger Sense, which warns Deku from any incoming danger and hostility, you know; like the Spider sense.
Demo: Moving on we have Fa Jin, an ability where Deku stores a lot of Kinetic energy before releasing it in a burst of strength and speed. It can also be combined with Black Whip to slingshot himself forward, add up a Manchester Smash aswell, and use it to create a chain that esnare opponents.
Kirbo: And finally we have Gearshift, a very broken quirk that allows Izuku to alter the speed at which things accelerate through space, completely ignoring the laws of inertia in the process. He uses it to punch at different speeds, combine it with Fa Jin, and even deliver 5 Detroit Smashes at the same time.
Demo: Oh man, listing all of these abilities can be tiring, imma grab a scrumpy, see ya later Kirbo.
Demo: Oh man, listing all of these abilities can be tiring, imma grab a scrumpy, see ya later Kirbo.
(Performs Spider-Man's web throw hand motion and shoots a black tendril out of his hand, before leaving the scene.)
Kirbo: Maybe i should get something too. Eh, what the heck.
(Starts floating and slowly drifts away from the camera)
Kirbo: (Out of view) Oh wait, i forgot i have wings!
Demo: Now, it's time move on to the good stuff and analyze Deku's feats. First we have Deku managing to dodge Lady Nagant's fastest bullets, they vary in speed, like the time Deku save his former enemy Overhaul from a bullet going at Mach 100.60. But that's not all, Nagant later was able to shoot a bullet across the country from Tokyo to the U.A. Flying Fortress, which comes around at Sub-relativistic speeds.
Kirbo: It's not surprise however that Izuku has gained so much power to even surpass All Might in his prime too. The latter was able to generate an output of 877.51 Gigatons of TNT, and what makes this more impressive is that he did this past his prime, so imagine how broken we was before!
Demo: To prove the power of his smashes, Deku can even create tornadoes with a single smash, most specifically a St. Louis Smash at 20%; which generated an energy of 127.53 Tons of TNT.
Kirbo: And to prove how broken he was during his temporary dark path, even in a near damaged state Izuku was able to effectively held his own against the entire Class 1-A. Although it wasn't a fight per say, Izuku still outsmarted his colleagues several times before being captured and snapped out of his vigilante mindset.
Demo: Speaking of his classmate, one time Deku and Bakugo (The former bully who toll him to kill himself) once joined forces to dissipate a giant storm which comes around at 114.37 Gigatons of TNT. Keep in mind, Deku needed help from Bakugo to perform this feat but considering the feats done by the former as the series progresses, we could assume that Deku can perform that without any help.
Kirbo: Remember that we said Izuku can scale to Prime All Might? well; it wouldn't be too far fetched to scale him to the heroine Star and Stripe who not only pulled off an attack worth 8.67 Teratons of TNT, but also move at Relativistic speeds.
Demo: But aside from the feats we mentioned, nothing comes close to Deku's final Detroit Smash, which states quote on quote A gust of wind that blew that day through this world, that had suffered great wars; this statement means that Deku's final smash managed to completely change the weather all across the planet, to pull that off you'll need an energy of 75.287 Zettatons of TNT, enough to level a planet.
Demo: But aside from the feats we mentioned, nothing comes close to Deku's final Detroit Smash, which states quote on quote A gust of wind that blew that day through this world, that had suffered great wars; this statement means that Deku's final smash managed to completely change the weather all across the planet, to pull that off you'll need an energy of 75.287 Zettatons of TNT, enough to level a planet.
Kirbo: Izuku may seem powerful with the feats shown, but that doesn't save him from having serious flaws like his most recurring one, the fact that One for All can break the bones of his body.
Demo: Yeah, and it's not only One for All either, his other quirks also have serious faults. Danger Sense for example it has a certain range of what can be perceived as dangerous, if a person has no malice or intent to hurt Deku it won't activate and strong emotions tend to overstimulate it.
Kirbo: Speaking of emotions, another quirk affected by this is Blackwhip, if Izuku doesn't keep his emotions in check he will loose control of his ability.
Demo: Another con of One for All is that it can be stolen if Deku's opponent has a strong will power than him, which comes as a very difficult ability to have but not impossible to achieve.
Kirbo: And finally, Gearshift tends to have the drawback of reducing the oxygen that Izuku receives. At maximum he can go for over 20 minutes before needing to take a breather.
Demo: But despite every fault or mistake that Deku can make and even beyond the memes of him being quirkless at the end, Deku still proved that he was a formidable hero who would risk anything to save the innocent, and no matter how strong a villain was, he was able to take them down to prove why the name the Greatest hero fits him best.
Izuku Midoriya: This is it. The last one. It's over now. This is my final SMAAAASH!!!
Po Skadooshes DEATH BATTLE![]
Kirbo: Long ago in ancient China, a story tells about the legend of a hero titled the Dragon Warrior, a warrior so awesome that its sheer awesomeness could blind the evil-doers. And that they were extremely handsome too
Demo: Not only that, but other stories tell how they could easily survive for months at a time on nothing but the dew of a single ginkgo leaf and the energy of the universe, whoever is this so called Dragon Warrior, they're surely a bada$$.
Kirbo: Unfortunately the identity of the Dragon Warrior became a mystery for 500 years, none one really knew who was worthy enough to inherit that title, not even Oogway himself, an old turtle who's the creator of Kung Fu, founder of the Valley of Peace and developer of the same legend.
Demo: At first, Shifu; an old student of Oogway, thought that the title belonged to Tai lung, his disciple. But Oogway saw malice deep in his heart and denied his position as Dragon Warrior. Which by itself struck a nerve since Tai Lung then proceeded to go on a rampage through the Valley and tried to take the Dragon Scroll by force, but luckily, Oogway knocked him out of commission and put his a$$ in prison, but that wouldn't be the last of him.
Kirbo: As years went by, Oogway knew that it was just a matter of time before Tai Lung returned and so decided to organize a tournament to finally choose who will become The Dragon Warrior. The stakes were high, and one of the members of the Furious Five would have ended up being chosen... If it wasn't because a fat panda fell from the sky and landed right infront of Oogway's finger, so allegedly, he was now the Dragon Warrior. This certainly was a weird day for Po Ping.
Demo: Ok but... Why would they pick a fat panda? Wasn't that just an accident?
Kirbo: There are not accidents, Demo. However, Po wasn't just a fat panda per say. He was borned in a Panda village where he lived happily with his Mom and Dad... Until a white peacock with megalomaniac tendencies and his army decided to genocide every panda in existence, all because of a phophecy told him than a warrior of black and white was going to stop his corrupt empire.
Demo: Luckily for Po, his mother managed to hide him inside a radish crate to save him, tho she wasn't so lucky to made it out alive. Some time later, he was adopted and raised by a goose name Ping, just to be a waiter in a noodle shop... Are you sure Oogway made the right decision?
Kirbo: You see, despite that, Po actually a dream of becoming an excellent martial artist; all thanks to the Furious Five beating the snot out of an evil boar.
Demo: He's definitely in love with Tigress. Anyways, although Po didn't seem like a good candidate to be the Dragon Warrior, he had a lot of potential than you might expect, he just needed a little bit of motivation or dumplings to say the least.
Kirbo: With the help of Master Shifu, he trained for days on end to finally give the returning Tai Lung a run for his money. And most funny of all is that he ended up losing to quote on quote: A big, fat Panda.
Demo: That would mark the beginning of Po's adventures as the Dragon Warrior. His beat a lot of foes too, like Lord Shen, the genocidal peacock we mentioned earlier and even a bull named Kai who stealed chi from others.
Kirbo: Oh, and he also found out that his biological father was still alive along with his species, so there's that.
Demo: But oh the days of Po being the Dragon Warrior were pretty much cut short when... Shifu told him that he needed to give someone else the title as its successor for some reason.
Kirbo: Really? Well, i guess Tigress would be a good pick-
Demo: He gave it to a thief Fox named Zhen...
Kirbo: .....What?
Demo: Yeah so apparently Po thought it was a good idea to give the Dragon Warrior title to a orphan fox who was pretty much a criminal to defeat a Chameleon. It did worked out at the end but... Why her of all people...? Maybe Tai Lung was right...
Kirbo: Demo, please don't start.
Demo: Ok i won't....
Kirbo: Now going to Po's techniques, let's start with his most well known fighting style created by himself; Panda Style, this style relies dependently on Po's fat body alone for defense and bounces off attacks for offense. It seems silly at first, but it's quite effective!
Demo: Aside from his fighting style Po haves plenty of other techniques for combat, like Feet of Fury, a move where he kicks multiples enemies in succession while in mid-air.
Kirbo: We're just getting started here since up next we have The Wuxi Finger Hold, a Chi-Based attack that can send people (or himself) to a place called the Spirit Realm, which is basically the afterlife. To do this Po must grab his opponent's fingertip with their thumb and index finger, pinky held upright, and then flex his pinky downward.
Demo: Then we have the Thundering Wind Hammer, 1 out of the 12 Impossible moves that Po manages to do. To perform this move, Po spins rapidly before suddenly stopping and placing his palm outwards, to which a ball of energy will shoot out of his hand to hit its target.
Kirbo: Another move is the Golden Lotus Clap, which involves Po announcing the move before clapping his hand to eject a golden mist that blinds his foes, and himself if he's not careful.
Demo: The Mongolian Fireball is the second technique that Po learns from the 12 Impossible moves. Here he goes for multiple stances and then brings his hands vertically to shoot a fireball, who can suck nearby objects.
Kirbo: A very dangerous move of his is called the Fluttering Finger Mindslip, a hand move that can make the target have short-term memory erasure, and when used repeatedly it can even make the target forget how to breath. To do the move Po swirls his hand to the left, then to the right, then flutters his fingers in a twisting motion.
Demo: Now going back to punchy techniques, The Chao Wa Punch Kick is a series of pressure point strikes that paralyzes the opponent, funnily enough, this technique was performed by Po's adoptive father.
Kirbo: Have you guys ever heard of a flying panda? Well, with Wings of Light Po can make that statement a truth. This move is considered one of the Five Mystic Kung Fu Secrets.
Demo: When using the Silken Moon Touch, Po requires an immense amount of focus. He concentrates all of his power into a single finger and touches his opponent, creating a powerful pulse that temporarily turns day into night as an after effect.
Kirbo: Another paralyzing move is the Paralyzing Touch Point, which is simply a nerve technique that causes full body paralysis and can be permanent if left untreated.
Demo: Po can also read people's minds with Nao Yuedu, a passive ability that can alert Po from his opponent's next move. Albeit in turn he can go mad if used by extended period of times.
Kirbo: And finally we have the Eyes of Bushido. Where Po concentrates and puts aside all thoughts of himself, making the world appear slow by Po’s perception.
Demo: With kung fu techniques aside, it's time to talk about a certain ability that characterizes Po, his usage of Chi. You see, Chi is a type of spiritual energy found in living things, although it more well resided in pandas. His own chi is very special too, since he inherited the Hero's Chi from Oogway after his passing
Kirbo: Chi has a surprisingly good amount of uses throughout the series, so we'll cite them all out. Starting with its energy manipulation, which can be used for offense and defense, an example of which is when Po overloaded Kai with chi.
Demo: Chi is also pretty useful to heal its user, like the time it completely healed Master Oogway from a near death state or when Po was almost out of Hero's Chi.
Kirbo: If you think this energy isn't scary enough, it can also forcefully remove the soul out of someone's body and sealed them. You know, like Mafuba from Dragon Ball.
Demo: Elemental Manipulation is yet another use, with it Po can even solidify things such as Lava.
Kirbo: Plus chi can also augment the physical attributes of its user, making them stronger, faster and more durable as well.
Demo: And if that wasn't enough, Chi can allow you to make physical constructs such as this cool freaking dragon that Po made in his battle against Kai. Man... I wish i could do that to make a scrumpy bottle.
Kirbo: And if by any given chance Po runs out of chi, that's a no biggie, since he can always meditate to recover all the lost energy in no time.
Demo: Another perks of using chi is the couple resistances that it gives, like resistance to being possessed, paralysis and even transmutation. So you won't need to worry about those things.
Kirbo: Finally, if making a construct of a Dragon wasn't enough; Po can just... Become an actual Dragon! Yeah, he's totally capable of doing that for some reason.
Demo: Oh boy, look at the time! It's lunch time, so if you excuse i'll-
Kirbo: Demo, we already had lunch time.
(Demo performs the Fluttering Finger Mindslip, in his attempt to make Kirbo forget about it)
Kirbo: ...Did you just try to make me forget that?
Demo: WHAT?! HOW DID YOU-
(Kirbo performs the Fluttering Finger Mindslip in retaliation)
Demo: UH.................................. What happened...?
Kirbo: Po packs a lot of feats throughout his many adventures, like him being able to easily sweep the Furious Fives multiple times. And they're no joke, Tigress for example broke a giant rock with a force of 0.39 tons of TNT.
Demo: Y-Yeah! And Po has done some other casual stuff like deflect cannonballs going at supersonic speeds after gaining Inner Peace.
Kirbo: Plus he defeated countless of strong foes before, like Tai Lung; who not only was a Kung Fu prodigy but could also create a large crater with strength alone.
Demo: Or when he defeated a hippo named Kim the Invincible, this big fella over here was able to casually broke apart the Great Wall of China, thus equating a power of 2.6759 Tons of TNT.
Kirbo: If that wasn't enough, Po also defeated Ke-Pa, an ancient dragon demon who was able to destroy the Jade Palace, to destroy the entire Palace he must output an energy of 325.3 Tons of TNT. Enough to level multiple city blocks.
Demo: And to keep going with the list of powerful enemies that Po defeated. He managed to defeat Kai, a furrified Shang Tsung who once broke large rock formations with a force of 13.8 Kilotons of TNT.
Kirbo: Po can also be equal to a certain Kung Fu master, the Black Tortoise, who once created a chi barrier large enough to destroy a world ending meteor at well over 83 Teratons of TNT. It's worth noting that the barrier was created at sub-relativistic speeds.
Demo: And finally we have one of the most debatable feats that Po has ever done: Beating Jindiao, a dragon master who absorbed the Wellspring, which is an artifact that's the source of all the Chi in the universe. Po was also able to track down and catch Jindiao inside the Spirit Realm, which has been confirmed to be an entire universe; this means that Po was able to go at massively faster than light speed to do this.
Kirbo: However, it's really debatable if we want to take the Wellspring statement as literal. This also applies to Po crossing part of the Spirit Realm due to its dubious time frame. But we'll talk about this more thoroughly on the results section.
Demo: Our Dragon Warrior may have a lot of strength on his side, but flaws are also common for him. For starters, Po can very naive and even gullible sometimes, and that he fanboys hard for awesome stuff from time to time.
Kirbo: His techniques also have certains faults, like his Wuxi Finger Hold which doesn't work on non-mortal beings such as Kai. Plus, c'mon... Is it really that hard to just get your hand out of the grapple?
Demo: His Eyes of Bushido also has a con, that being if Po think of himself, the technique won't work, that means he'll always need to be concentrated to do this.
Kirbo: Plus over using his Chi can drain Po by a large margin, and give how he needs a little bit of time to regain his Chi back, then he'll get attacked before he could potentially do so.
Demo: Oh and although the Spirit Realm can give Po a home field advantage, if he ends up slipping up and dying there, he'll die for good with no chance of resurrection.
Kirbo: And finally... Stairs, yeah that's it.
Demo: But despite his flaws, Po has been capable of being the living embodiment of never judge a book by its cover, his legacy as the Dragon Warrior left a new beginning in the history and Kung Fu, and even when he doesn't have the title anymore, perhaps the next Dragon Warrior will as good hearted as he was.
Po: I am Po. And i'm gonna need a hat.

Intermission[]
Kirbo: Alright, the combatants are set! We've run the data through all possibilities.
Demo: IT'S TIME FOR A DEATH BATTLE!!!
The Fight[]
Location: Tournament Arena.
Near the city of Tokyo, Japan; a massive coliseum arena was hosting the biggest martial arts tournament of all time, with none other than a 10 million dollars prize pool for the winner. This by default was a huge opportunity, and so hundreds if not thousands of heroes and kung fu fighters wasted no time to sign in, with the hope of taking home the gold for themselves. Of course, most of the contestants had bitten the dust by now.
However; out of all the fighters in this tournament, a certain one stood out the most, it was quite literally a big fat panda. At first sight it may not sound intimidating at all, most people thought of that, until they were proven how absolutely wrong they were.
"SKADOOSH!"
A massive yellow explosion sent Katsuki Bakugo, AKA Dynamight, flying back into a massive stone wall, leaving a huge crack upon crashing into it before his body falls to the floor. The Pro Hero tried to stand back up, his fighting spirit was shouting for him to keep going, but unfortunately his body wasn't in the same page. Just a few seconds later, he fell to the ground once more, not being able to continue fighting. From the other side of the arena, Master Po Ping simply sighed in relief as he rested his body on top of a pile of debri.
Announcer: And the winner is Po Ping!
The audience cheered at the Panda's victory, he was one step away from winning the tournament, one last round and all of this should be over.
Back into the locker room, Bakugo slams the door open, not even bothered to hide his anger after his somewhat humiliating lost against the Panda, to the point even his screams of rage were heard even across the different halls. The sudden noise attracted one of his class mates, a young man with fluffy dark green hair, Izuku Midoriya; or Deku for short.
Deku: Kacchan, is everything alright?
Bakugo: NO.
Izuku flinch a bit by Bakugo's sudden and very straightforward answer.
Deku: Is it because of your loss against that Panda, right?
Bakugo: And because i lost a bet with Kirishima, if i ended up losing against that guy then i would have to pay him 5000 yen.
Deku: Oh, i see. Well, in your defense that Po guy has been doing almost perfectly throughout the entire tournament, he even took down most of class 1-A.
Some flashbacks are shown, revealing how Po managed to beat and outsmart his opponents. He used a Golden Lotus Clap to dispert Dark Shadow and knock Tokoyami out of the way, he used the Fluttering Finger Mindslip to make Denki forget what he was doing, he used some pressure points attacks to immovilize Kirishima, leaving him like a solid statue; and finally he used a great chi construst of a fist to smash through Todoroki's defenses, leaving him wide open.
Deku knew how much of a problem it will be to fight Po, and given how he had a certain fighting style that wasn't very known, it was going to be easy to wore him down. If he wanted to win, he'll have to play it smart.
Suddenly, a knock on the door is heard.
-"Hello, is Mr. Deku here?"
Deku: Yeah, that's me.
-"The final round is starting soon. I'll highly recommend you to get ready."
Deku: I'll be there in a minute.
The staff member nodded his head, before leaving the room.
Deku: Guess i'm our last hope then. Wish me luck, Kacchan.
Bakugo: You better kick is ass.
Deku: Y-Yeah... Sure...
Now with the final round about to begin, the crowd are dying of excitement to see what was gonna come next, especially since the strongest student of U.A Highschool was going to go toe to toe against Master Po Ping. With everything set, the announcer steps in; he readjusts his tie before twirling his mic with his hand.
Announcer: Alright folks! Who's ready to see some action!?
In response, the crowd let out a huge roar in excitement. The announcer chuckled a bit before speaking again.
Announcer: Well then, let's give a huge applause to our finalist. On out right corner, we have the superhero from U.A. High: Deku!
A drone camera then moves around to reveal a big gate that's slowly opening up, revealing the mentioned fighter. Deku cracked his knuckles while preparing himself, an inner thought echoing inside his head.
Deku: (After seeing the past matches, it looks like this Panda packs a lot with his techniques and weird fighting style, but overtime i could potentially find a way to counter everything he has.)
Announcer: And on the left corner, we have the Spiritual Leader of the Valley of Peace: Master Po Ping!
Another drone camera moves down to the giant gate at the other side of the arena, which opens up to reveal the panda in all its glory; if it wasn't because he had his mouth stuffed with dumplings. In a panic, Po quickly stuff the rest of his meal into his mouth and swallows everything in one go before leaving aside his bowl. from afar, Deku gives an amusing chuckle.
Po: Jeez, that was embarassing.
Both fighters walk towards the middle of the arena, before finally meeting there, only being a few meters apart from each other. Up in the crowd, on the right side we see Deku's classmates, All Might and Eri cheering for Izuku, on the left side we see the furious five, Shifu and Zhen cheering for Po. Just besides them, Mr. Ping and Li were selling some noodles to the audience.
Po: So, you're from the U.A, right? I wonder what your awesome super power is.
Deku: Well, you're about to find out, so better prepare yourself Mr. Po.
Po: Ha! Alright then, may the best fighter win!
Suddenly, multiple structures began to rise up from the floor, filling the arena with buildings, pathways and gigantic stone walls. One of these walls formed unexpectedly right infront of both combatants. Po's first instict was to just punch a hole through it, but stopped mid-action when he saw a shadow swinging around the buldings; he looks up, trying to spot where Deku was. With a bit of focus, he closed his eyes for a second, until he felt a presence and opened his eyes to see Deku leaping through the air.
Now with his location finally spotted, Deku quickly land near the balcony of one of the structures to take impulse and launch himself towards Po; fist raised high and reeled back. The panda doesn't think twice to dodge and leaps out of the way just as Deku crashes against the ground, creating a crater around him. Midoriya retaliates faster than expected, he zips towards his opponent yet again and throws a flurry of punches, prompting Po to go in a frenzy as he gets slowly overwhelmed by Deku's fast moves. This was Deku's first strategy, if he managed to overpower Po as soon as possible, he might be able to leave him wide open for a finishing blow much earlier.
Po then loses balance for a single second, more than enough for Deku to prepare his fist, he closes it hard as green sparkles flow around him, before throwing it forward. The attack lands face first into Po's cheek, his face contorting into a comical grimace of pain before he's launched back by the force while screaming. Deku thinks his attack worked, but it would soon be proved wrong when Po suddenly bounces off a wall and ricochets back towards him, he gasped in confusion by the sudden retaliation.
The Panda comes ramming against Deku, which is quickly followed by Po landing his own set of punches, and adiottional ear clap to stun Deku before finishing with a spinning roundhouse kick, sending the latter sliding back. Po charged ahead, jumping to the air to adjust his body and perform one of his iconic kung fu techniques.
Po: Feet of Fury!
Deku recovers, only to get a not so friendly greeting of Po's foot stomping his face multiple times, until he managed to stop his final kick; Po's expression dropping from determined to worried. With a loud cry, Izuku spins around as fast as he could, both turning into mere blurs due to the speed, until he lets go off Po, who's launched inside one of the structures.
The same green blur then zips upwards to be on top of the structure, by reeling back his leg, he taps into Full Cowling - Shoot Style at 20% before dropping down.
Deku: St. Louis... SMASH!!!
The shockwave of the kick presses down on top of the structure, similar to a hydraulic press, the building gets obliterated into pieces of rubble while Po is still inside. Midoriya lands near the wreckage, he was sure Po wouldn't be able to dodge in time, the shockwave made sure of that; however, a rumble from beneath catches his attention, the rubble shakes rapidly before it's simply blown away by an explosion of yellow energy. Po undoes the chi barrier around him, laughing like if he wasn't mere inches from getting greatly injured.
Po: Haha! You almost got me there.
Izuku blinks twice, mainly due to his opponents happy demeanor despite being in a fight. Although, he just replies back with humor.
Deku: Heh, yeah! I guess i'll need to try harder then!
He digs his feet into the ground all while tapping into Shoot Style once again and with a great impulse he launched forward to perform a flying kick, Po barely ducks, causing Deku to shoot past above him like a missile. The sudden wind pressure staggered Po a bit, but soon he felt something wrapping around his belly, a large dark energy tendril yoinked him with a lot of force, bringing him closer to Deku, who's already winding up a punch in advance.
Deku: Detroit... SMASH!
The attack lands on the kung fu fighter, sending him flying back; However, the black whip suddenly halted his trip before pulling him back towards Deku, who already has another Detroit Smash prepared.
Deku: Detroit Smash! Detroit Smash! Detroit Smash!
Everytime Po is launched back, he's pulled back to receive yet another dose of knuckle sandwiches, the Panda was just getting the full paddle ball experience. Finally, Izuku yanks the black whip as hard as he could and lands one final Smash.
Deku: Detroooittt... SMAAASH!!!
Upon colliding his fist against Po, the panda was sent flying back even harder than before, his figure passing through multiple walls, as such leaving some panda shaped holes in them. Po's body layed there in between a blanked of debri, thinking to himself one thing: So this is how Tai Lung felt that time... Nevertheless, Po got up while dusting himself off and preparing his next move. While Deku took a glance at one of the holes, he noticed a bright light coming from afar and soon enough his danger sense picked a signal of incoming danger, he backflips away just as Po came rushing in with a overhead punch, now donning his wings of light.
Despite having no wings himself, Deku uses his quirk float to hover the same level as his opponent. At the same time he holds his middle finger against his thumb before using a Delaware Smash to release a powerful gust of wind, Po holds himself against the sudden winds and flaps his wings to propel himself throught the airs and lands a punch onto Deku, the latter recoils while spinning and does that even more when the Panda attacks him from multiple angles.
A strong kick sends Izuku flying down near ground level, but with a quick action, he hurled two tendrils of dark energy with black whip to strap them on the corner of two structures, thus creating an improvised slingshot with him as the projectile. As for Po, he flew back before swiftly doing a u-turn, the channeled his chi through the palm of his hand and reels it back. With a simple flick, Deku propels himself forward, Po does the same with another flap of his wings of light and both meet at the center.
Deku: Texas... SMASH!
Po: Dragon Strike!
Both attacks go off at the same time, prompting these two to get socked right in the face; a shockwave of green lightning and yellow energy explodes outwards, sending them face planting against the technological barrier keeping the audience safe from any harm.
Despite the tension of the fight breaking because of it, the crowd couldn't help but laughed at the comedic moment, even Deku and Po who were stuck on the cybernetic wall like flies trapped inside fly trap let a slight chuckle. But enough of that, the fight isn't over just yet, and they've hardly show what their truly capable of.
Midoriya positions himself on the cyber wall, his body coating itself with green sparks before he shot off like a homing missile, right towards the Panda. The sudden move alarmed Po, he retaliated as soon as possible to evade the attack, however, Izuku took a page out of one of his classmate's book and shot a black whip out of his mouth, wrapping it around Po's ankle to twist himself mid-air along with changing the panda's position.
He extended his hand, his thumb holding his middle finger once again but to amp the Delaware Smash even further he activated one of his air force gloves, the contraption jolts forward and concentrates all the air pressure than when Deku releases his attack, the air shoots like a bullet, hitting Po right on his back, sending him careening back into the ground and crashing onto a roof.
The 9th wielder of One For All then floated down to crash with an axe kick as a follow up, but instead of his iron soles making an impact against Po, it only cracked the floor around him. Danger Sense warned him from an incoming attack again, which Deku was about to counter before he could get hit if it wasn't because that attack didn't require physical contact; Po, now with his arms wide open, shouted the name of his technique.
Po: Golden Lotus Clap!
He clapped his hand together, a golden mist erupts outwards and hits Deku right in the eyes, he instinctively covered his face as he let out a cry of pain, it was like a flash bangs exploded right infront of him. In a desperate move, Deku used Full Cowl to amped his strength and threw a quick kick, only for Po to counter with his belly, the attack bouncing back as he puffs out his stomach, launching Deku to a nearby wall. We wasn't done just yet, then he flicked his forward, a beam of energy is fired across the room and lands on Deku, breaking the wall behind him and falling on a lower structure.
Po then jumped after him, before dropping down into a ground pound, the full weight of his body carrying both him and Deku down through the roof of the lower structure, and through the multiple floors it contained. Upon collapsing into the final floor, a huge cloud of smoke generates from Izuku's body, filling the place with thick purple smoke.
The smokescreen catches Po off guard and he wanders around without any sense of direction. With himself out of the sight of the Panda, Deku manages to land some sneaky blows onto Po, he stumbles around and attacks back in retaliation, but doesn't him anything than the air. This was starting to get Po a tad impatient, but soon he took a deep breath and focused.
He squinted his eyes and suddenly, everything moved in slow motion, he could see the smoke slowly moving across the room and soon a faint shadow rapidly zipping around him. As soon as Izuku jumped forward to strike, Po swiftly dodged and responded with roundhouse kick to the back of his head, sending Deku sliding back. With him taking cared for now, Po initiated another of his techniques by taking multiple stances before forming a large fireball in his palms, with a flick, the fireball slowly moves forwards, all while sucking the purple smokescreen, smalls chunks of rubble and even Deku himself, but thanks to keeping himself grounded he ends up fine. The fireball soon banishes.
As a sort of challenging gesture, Po waves his hand to tell Deku that he can come towards him, a cocky grin forming in his face. Although the pro Hero takes this challenge way too literally and soon crouches down in a racing position, he too adapts a grin, albeit a more sarcastic one.
Deku: Alright, here i come!
However, Po noticed something about him, Deku's legs suddenly started to flow with some red energy around them, that's where he realized the smokescreen wasn't only for sneak attacks, Deku was effectively building up kinetic energy with Fa Jin. His cocky grin soon fell into shambles when Midoriya blitzed forward at a blinding speed, Po tried to use a chi barrier to soften the blow, but the sheer force shattered it like glass and soon, he was hit full force.
The impact echoed around like the toll of a giant bell, the released kinetic energy collapsed the building behind them like a Jenga tower and send both fighters out in the open. Po's body ragdolled across the air, while Deku used a pinpoint blackwhip to make a sudden turn, his face stretching a bit from the wind pressure. Tapping into Shoot Style, Deku reels one of his legs and once reaching Po, he releases the smash head on.
Deku: Manchester... SMASH!
The axe kick connects into Po, sending him crashing into the dirt with a loud bang, creating a huge crater. Deku landed on the ground to take a breather, he really took Po's challenging very seriously and went overboard with it; however, going all out from a certain point was necessary to snatch a victory, he though to himself. But his surprise was big when he heard panting coming from the crater, he double checked for a second and found Po slowly getting up, his bruised and battered stated being slowly healed by his chi. Deku pondered for a bit.
Deku: (He's very resilient, although his fat body can absorb a lot of punishment, at some point he can get too overwhelmed and needs to heal. If i can keep exploiting this weakness, then victory should be more assured.)
With a new plan in hand, Deku proceeded to launch several blackwhip towards the panda. He looked at the whips approaching him and in a calm move... he perfectly bites them to catch all of them. From his point of view, the blackwhips were seen as long noodles. Safe to say, Deku was dumbfounded.

Trivia[]
Connections taken from Reddit:
- Young, emotional, and happy protagonist who grew fanboying for powerful heroes (kung fu fighters and superheroes).
- Both wanted to be like them, but never could because they were born in circumstances that didn't allow them to be (Po was overweight and lived pressured by his dad expecting him to work for his restaurant, while Deku was born quirkless).
- Because of this, they were mock by many which affected their self esteem.
- Until one day, by a struck of fate, they were chosen by the greatest heroes in their world (Oogway and All Might respectively) to wield an important title and posses huge power (Po was chosen to be the dragon warrior while Deku was chosen to be the new one for all user).
- Despite how weird they appeared to be as a pick to wield this title, they showed they deserved it not by being the most powerful but because of their good heart and unmatched compassion.
- After a lot of painful training over time, they slowly become the most powerful fighters in their world as they develop their own fighting style and capitalize on the strenghts they've always had (Po's love for food plus his big belly helps him a lot in combat, while Deku's huge obsession with how fights and powers play out helps at making strategies).
- The biggest threat they fought was an old enemy of the great hero who once chose them (Kai and All For One) who came back after years more powerful than ever and posses the ability to steal power from others (Kai can steal chi from others, while Ofa can steal quirks from others).
- To defeat this villain, they needed everyone to join forces and receiving a huge power upgrade from others (Po got a chi boost while Deku got direct help from previous one for all users).
- Japanese VS Chinese.
- Big thanks to BreezingWinds for making one of the sprites, i really appreaciate it!
