Izuku stood in front of Orochi as the latter looked down on him, "What are you talking about?" Izuku asked

"You're too inexperienced to fight Sukune," Doppo said

"Why? I've fought Jack, Katsumi, even Baki. Even Motobe-sensei,"

"And they all went easy on you," Doppo replied

"W-What?" Izuku asked, hoping that Doppo was lying

"You heard me, kid. They all went easy on you. Look at yourself, you barely have any muscle, let alone scars of your battles," Doppo explained, "even your hands look like a ladies,"

"And what's wrong with that?" Izuku shouted. But before he could speak any further, Izuku saw a fist in his face. Doppo stood there, his fist barely touching Izuku's nose, "Sumo often has the image of a tame herbivore... but that'd be a hell of an herbivore. Much like a Bison, a Rhino, or even an Elephant. And despite what stories you hear about the classic tale of David and Goliath, I'm afraid the bigger opponent always wins. That's just nature,"

"Unless you're me, but I've learned to deal with opponents larger than me," Baki said, standing up

"Hm,"

"But... you shouldn't underestimate him, Doppo. Or else," Baki explained as Doppo looked at him

"What are you talking about?" Doppo asked. He then looked back at Izuku, who was reaching into his pocket and pulled out a small ceramic orb. Izuku threw the orb on the ground while closing his eyes. There was a loud bang as Doppo was flash-banged and reeled back. Izuku lowered himself to the ground and grabbed Doppo's leg, pulling back while putting pressure on Doppo's Achilles tendon. Doppo fell to the ground as Izuku quickly went into a heel-lock. But before Izuku could continue any further, he was struck in the jaw by Doppo's other foot, "Like I said kid... too inexperienced," Doppo said before Izuku blacked out.
