Bakugo's Special Move

Boom. The sound of impact rolled across the ring.

Air Shatter cracked the air in front of Yuto like breaking glass, and the shockwave forced Bakugo back several steps.

Bakugo glared at him. "Yuto, you bastard. Stop looking down on me. Fight me seriously. I don't care what happens to me!"

The next moment, Yuto drew both swords.

His eyes were cold and sharp.

Wado Ichimonji in his right hand.

Sandai Kitetsu in his left.

Two Sword Style.

The blades flashed. Bakugo's face split into a savage grin. "That's more like it. You bastard, you finally decided to take me seriously?"

During the Battle Trial, Yuto had not used his full strength against Bakugo.

Bakugo had never forgotten it.

And even just now, Yuto had still been holding back.

That kind of fight was unbearable to him.

Now Yuto had finally drawn both blades.

Good.

Bakugo's eyes burned with fierce excitement.

Boom. Boom. Boom.

Sparks burst from his palms.

This was the moment he had been waiting for.

In the commentary booth, Present Mic leaned forward. "What's going on? Has Yuto been holding back this whole time? Is he like Todoroki, hiding something he could not easily use?"

Aizawa sighed. "He is just afraid of hurting people."

"That's Bakugo! One of Class 1-A's strongest students. If Yuto holds back and loses, he is out. There are no second chances."

"You need to remember who Bakugo is facing," Aizawa said. "It's Yuto. If he truly goes all out, the consequences..."

He did not finish. He kept that secret to himself.

At USJ, Yuto had gone all out once.

That form had been able to fight beside All Might. The audience looked stunned.

"What does that mean? He blocked Bakugo's full-power attack, and he still wasn't going all out?"

"Impossible. That attack was stronger than Monoma's barrage."

"But Bakugo is the one saying it."

"This is an elimination match. Against someone at Bakugo's level, who would hold back?"

Kirishima frowned. "Bakugo is still angry about the Battle Trial."

Tokoyami nodded. "If I were in his place, I would be angry too."

Tsuyu said, "That just means Yuto-chan is too strong. He sees us as friends, so he does not use full power. Heroes use full force against enemies, not classmates."

The others nodded. The Yuto who fought at USJ had been at his strongest.

"Do you think Yuto will go all out against Bakugo?"

"After USJ, Bakugo trained almost nonstop. His attack power is no joke."

"If Bakugo is really fighting with everything he has, Yuto may have to take this seriously to win."

The stadium buzzed with discussion. Then it fell quiet.

As if someone had cut the sound.

On the stage, Yuto versus Bakugo had truly begun.

Would this be Yuto's full-power battle? Everyone held their breath.

Every eye was fixed on the ring.

Bakugo shouted and attacked first.

Boom. Boom. Boom.

Explosions thundered from his palms. He used the blasts as propulsion and dove toward Yuto at extreme speed.

Then he spun, forming a massive tornado in midair.

The wind tore across the stands. Spectators raised their arms against it, and nearby trees shook hard enough to bend.

Present Mic shouted over the roar. "A high-speed explosive tornado is charging toward Yuto! With Bakugo's explosive power behind it, he is a living bomb! This special move might destroy the entire ring!"

Inside the explosive spiral, Bakugo screamed, "When you stand on this stage, the only thing you need to think about is winning! Yuto, use everything you have! This is the special move I created for you!"

The tornado descended.

"Howitzer Impact!"

Many people closed their eyes.

The attack was too violent. Something could go wrong.

Tsuyu's eyes widened. "That move has so much power. If it hits directly, even Yuto-chan may have trouble taking it."

Kirishima stared in disbelief. "Bakugo hid something like this? That's terrifying."

Kaminari trembled. "That's way stronger than my Indiscriminate Discharge."

"That's obvious," someone muttered.

Before anyone could say more, Bakugo's explosive tornado reached Yuto.

It looked as if the next second would decide everything.

But it was not over. The blades flashed.

Two blades reflected the stadium lights.

"Two Sword Style: Seventy-Two Pound Phoenix."

Yuto gripped both swords, his eyes sharp enough to cut.

He swung at extreme speed, sending a flying slash toward Bakugo.

The power of the Gura Gura no Mi flowed into the sword wave.

A blue arc shot forward and lit the entire arena.
