#sypha vs shouto

[autumnmobile12]

I recently got back on the My Hero Academia train (pretty far behind in the manga) and was thinking about doing a poll on who would win in a fight between these two. Antagonist vs protagonist, magician vs villain, both fire powers, you get it.

But then I thought, "...no, Sypha wins this one no contest."

Here’s why:  Leaving out her ice and lightning abilities, Sypha has a lot more precision control over her fire; she doesn't always just send out a jet of flame and hope she hits the target. (Remember, Twice had to get out of the way in order for Dabi to attack Hawks.) Plus, Sypha doesn't have the self-incineration risk Dabi has.

But the true deciding factor of why Sypha wins this fight is the fact that so far as I’ve seen, Dabi (as well as Endeavor and Shouto) can’t control fire that he didn’t create himself. They aren't stealing each others' flames to fight.

Sypha can.

So by virtue of her literally combusting a fire-breathing demon from the inside out, get wrecked, Touya.

It'd be one thing if they were equally matched in this fight, but it's hard to combat someone who can literally steal your fire and deflect it or send it back.

It's also the same result if she were to go up against Shouto. He's a heavy hitter on the team, sure, but he doesn't have the same kind of versatility with his Quirk as Sypha does with her magic. Same as the flames, she can also utilize external sources such as a forming ice out of raindrops. And again, she's not going to burn herself or give herself frostbite by using either of these abilities, so her only restrictions are energy and creativity.

There's also the fact that Sypha doesn't just leave it to long range attacks. She gets up close and ends you brutally with no fucks given. It takes a special kind of savage to roast a vampire alive, casually toss aside the corpse, and walk away like it's another Tuesday.

Don't get me wrong, I love both Shouto and Dabi as characters, but respect the queen.

I’ve had this same thought. Like yeah, most people have to duck and weave to get through the torrents of fire the Todoroki’s put out.

But that’s all they can do. They make fire and they make ice. Sypha can control the fire inside them, taking control of a situation and using them as a bomb against their teams. She can manipulate the ice to attack other teammates and defend her own.

I recently got back on the My Hero Academia train (pretty far behind in the manga) and was thinking about doing a poll on who would win in a fight between these two. Antagonist vs protagonist, magician vs villain, both fire powers, you get it.

But then I thought, "...no, Sypha wins this one no contest."
