[Katsuki's turn to think it: he's fucking fast with his quirk. A split second decision is all that can be afforded with speed like that and even that is almost not enough. It's the hot gust just before the fire hits itself in that arch that has the explosive teen stopping his aerial assault in favor of throwing his hands back to emit two large explosions behind him. Those very explosions causing a disruption are the only reason that his hands don't get caught in it as the flames smash together just behind him.
Forward, towards Dabi, and for a multitude of reasons. First, that assessment about primarily being a close or mid-range fighter was on the money. As evidenced, he has long range within his arsenal of attacks, but relying solely on that isn't going to produce any results. Katsuki is far more dangerous when there is proximity. It ain't any fucking fun that way anyway, which leads right into the second reason that Katsuki decides that the risks of getting close to someone like him are senseless. Self-preservation doesn't fucking matter, not anymore. Ain't like there's anyone back home to cry about him going and doing something as meaningless as dying in this place, Ochako sure as hell made sure of that when she betrayed him and left. If he has to go down to do it, bet your ass it'll be worth it to kill this bastard and that he won't fail.
In a lot of ways, Katsuki is disadvantaged in a fight against Dabi. He's not fire resistant despite having an insane tolerance for heat itself. The very closeness that makes Katsuki so dangerous is also something that applies to him as well; dodging a wall of fire with that kind of speed becomes all the more difficult, if not impossible. He's going to get burned for this. One thing that he does have on his side, however, is the heat from the weather and Dabi's quirk alike. Where Katsuki normally has to build up to being able to unleash his power in full, today his sweat output is on an unprecedented level. Add in his near complete disregard for the strain of using his quirk so strongly and you get this. More speed, more power being utilized, even more of a relentless drive.
Barreling towards Dabi, it's just a matter of seconds before Katsuki's leering face is right there again with one hand out and ready. Red-hot and crackling in that tell-tale way, there's an explosion coming. But instead of unleashing that power directly between them, the angle changes at the last second with his hand shifting palm down towards the ground instead.]
[Boom!]
[Katsuki's movement is upward, with another smaller blast pushing him forward in an arching catapult that ends in his landing just behind the taller man. Back to back with minimal space in between them, all it takes is one simple twist of his body to point one hand at him. His left this time, since that arm is more expendable to Katsuki in this state of mind, he doesn't even need to pull the pin on the other bracer to (try to) unleash a furiously powerful explosion right at Dabi's back.]
[[OOC: LMAO GOD just. DESTROYS THE ENTIRE DISTRICT, THIS IS JUST FINE!!! Also I do feel like... maaaaybe??? a couple more tags?? and we'll want Toga to come in just cause lol. Katsuki is gonna get his reckless little bitch ass killed prematurely....]]
it's SO good that he's unloading on fucking Shigaraki about it lmao
