One-on-One Fight: Re-Destro vs. Flect Turn
In a direct confrontation between Re-Destro and Flect Turn, the outcome would likely favor Re-Destro due to his quirk's scaling potential and ability to sustain prolonged, escalating assaults that could exploit Reflect's key limitations. Re-Destro's Stress quirk converts emotional buildup into raw physical power, allowing him to enlarge his body (selectively or fully) and unleash black energy waves, with feats including overpowering an awakening Tomura Shigaraki, shattering limbs with finger strikes, and causing city-wide destruction at 80-100% liberation levels. Even without his destroyed Claustro armor (which once boosted him to 150%), his baseline durability lets him tank massive falls and rapid attacks, while stress from taking damage would only amplify his strength further—turning pain into an advantage.
Flect Turn's Reflect quirk, while formidable, is always active and rebounds attacks or stores energy, making him initially untouchable in close quarters as seen when he countered Izuku Midoriya's (Deku's) blows effortlessly. His Arachne exoskeleton adds versatility with mirror arms for redirecting lasers or hovering, potentially allowing him to evade and counter at range. However, Reflect falters in extended fights: it depletes under sustained high-impact pressure, as Deku overloaded it with rapid 100% One For All smashes, dissipating the reflective barrier and exposing Flect's vulnerability. Re-Destro's style—building power through frustration and delivering relentless, area-of-effect energy blasts or enlarged strikes—mirrors this overload strategy, likely wearing down Reflect faster than Flect can adapt. Flect's emotional rigidity and hypocrisy might provoke Re-Destro's condescending rage, fueling even greater output, while Re-Destro's tactical intellect (e.g., adapting mid-fight to quirk evolutions) gives him an edge over Flect's predictive but inflexible planning.
Weaknesses play a role: Re-Destro's legs could snap under his own weight, but Flect lacks the raw offense to capitalize without relying on reflections, which Re-Destro might mitigate by using ranged energy or grabs to disrupt the exoskeleton. Ultimately, Re-Destro's escalating power and durability would overwhelm Flect once Reflect hits its limit, leading to a decisive victory for Re-Destro in a mid-to-long battle.
Army vs. Army: Meta Liberation Army vs. Humarise
Scaling up to a full organizational clash, the Meta Liberation Army (MLA) would decisively defeat Humarise, leveraging superior numbers, quirk-focused combat training, and resources against Humarise's smaller, more dispersed terrorist network reliant on tech and ideology. The MLA boasts 116,516 dedicated warriors, many with enhanced meta abilities (quirks), organized into a military-like structure with executives like Skeptic (puppet creation for ambushes), Trumpet (incite boosts for ally enhancement), and Geten (massive ice attacks), all backed by vast wealth from companies like Detnerat and controlled territories like Deika City for defensive operations. Their capabilities include large-scale coordinated assaults, psychological warfare, and fanatical loyalty, as demonstrated in the Revival Celebration where they overwhelmed the League of Villains through sheer volume and quirk synergy.
Humarise, in contrast, operates with thousands of members across 25 global branches, mixing quirk users (some coerced) and quirkless fanatics, but lacks the MLA's scale or direct combat emphasis. Their strength lies in terrorism: Trigger Bombs that force quirk overloads for chaos, advanced tech from kidnapped scientists, and notable fighters like Leviathan (brute strength), Beros (bow-based attacks), and Serpenters (sacrificial soldiers). Global reach allows ambushes and broadcasts for panic, but their operations (e.g., bomb placements in cities) are more about asymmetrical warfare than head-on battles, and they've been foiled by hero raids arresting hundreds.
In an army-vs-army scenario, Humarise might initially disrupt with Trigger Bombs causing MLA quirk users to go berserk, but the MLA's numbers and leaders' abilities (e.g., Trumpet's boosts countering overloads, Skeptic's puppets for infiltration) would allow them to adapt, overwhelm defenses, and neutralize bomb sites through superior coordination and quirk liberation tactics. Humarise's reliance on intimidation and tech falters against the MLA's fanaticism and resources, leading to a rout—especially if Re-Destro's strategic mind outmaneuvers Flect's charisma-driven plans. The MLA's history of opposing governments across countries gives them the edge in a war of attrition.
