Shooting a kid repeatedly may seem rather brutal and cold-hearted however, as Deku points out, she is likely "missing" on purpose (and not just to spare his life to comply with All For One's orders.) The first shot fired in Season 6, episode 20 could have easily incapacitated the boy (without killing him, of course) however, she chose to give Deku an opening instead.Įven though Lady Nagant has taken All For One's side, she is clearly not keen to shed more blood and seems almost concerned that Deku has been subjected to the same narrowminded Hero brainwashing that she experienced. It is safe to say that Nagant isn't used to missing a mark, and while Deku's speed and Danger Sense make him a slippery target, it is evident that Nagant isn't trying to cause too much damage. RELATED: My Hero Academia: Lady Nagant Makes Her Move As The "Hired Gun"Īll these abilities would be wasted if Lady Nagant wasn't such a skilled marksman, as her Quirk only gives her the tools, not the talents to wield them. Furthermore, Nagant can also embed speakers into her bullets to communicate with (and taunt) her victims, or create specialized ammunition that can maneuver around curves, with an almost endless supply (so long as her hair can keep up with production.) Although Nagant seems to favor her long-ranged sniper rifle, she can fire point-blank shots straight from her elbow or supersize her firearm to add more power to her punches. Lady Nagant has more than one super-powered weapon in her arsenal as her Rifle transformation surprisingly has multiple settings. With the other leg's reserves, he promptly makes a bee-line for the stunned Nagant with another new attack called Faux 100 Percent: Manchester Smash, breaking her gun's barrel en route. Using One For All at 45%, a boost from Fa Jin's power from one leg only, in addition to the centrifugal force of his momentum from swinging around with Blackwhip, Deku speeds past Nagant's missile with a new move called Faux 100 Percent and tackles Chisaki to safety. Having never used Fa Jin before, Deku's intellect shines through as he ensures to bend and stretch his legs while evading Nagant's bullets, in order to build up his kinetic energy reserves in each leg. RELATED: My Hero Academia: Team Deku's Strategic Shif Even One For All's Third User is in awe of how efficiently Deku has adapted to the circumstances. Fa Jin assumedly needs a great deal of concentration to utilize this early on in the game (ie: his first attempt!) not to mention the scientific components that must be considered minimizing the Quirk count reduces his chance of error.

At the beginning of the battle, Deku overburdens himself with One For All 45%, Danger Sense, Smokescreen, Blackwhip, Float, and Fa Jin, but decides to drop a few powers to focus his energy more effectively. Instead of trying to overload his system by using all the Quirks at his disposal, Deku has learned to become more selective about his combos and rearranges his power usage accordingly. The battle becomes air-bound as Deku shoots up through a building in Nagant's blind spot, and, after losing control of the situation all over again, he essentially follows the trajectory of Nagant's bullets with Blackwhip to pinpoint her location once again. However, Deku is just trying to bide enough time to store up some energy with Fa Jin, before tricking Nagant into revealing her location with a few well-placed decoys. Visibility goes two ways, and while the smoke conveniently provides cover, it also blocks Nagant from Deku's line of sight and basically traps him within the billows, like a sitting duck. The first bullet to hit slows Deku down enough for Nagant to catch up and, because Danger Sense is not capable of working in quick succession, she begins to strike her target more frequently.ĭeku unleashes his Smokescreen to counter her strategy but is a bit heavy-handed according to En, who warns of the consequences of overusing his Quirk.

However, he figures out that Nagant is (also) trying to close the gap between them, as the shorter distance allows for her natural instincts to shine through, as opposed to having to predict her target's erratic path.

To avoid Nagant's barrage of bullets, Deku quickly adopts unpredictable zigzag motions, relying on his advanced speed to dominate and Danger Sense, which saves his skin more than once.
