[Would it be completely juvenile to throw one of the crab claws at Ratio? Maybe, because these claws are way bigger than normal ones. Bakugo's not entirely arguing for the sake of it, but he's instantly angered that the other man thinks his question, and by proxy, thoughts, are stupid. Those are fighting words!]

Why the hell do you think I asked if you could use that energy here?

[He snaps a crab leg in half with his hands alone; the thing's big enough it's akin to breaking a loaf of break, just much harder. And wetter. And meatier. He listens to the rest of the rationalization, but it's not doing anything other than reaffirming his own curiosity earlier. Plus his defensive stubborn pride. Back we go again-]

Pera pera pera.

[Blah blah science genius blah. He already thought about that crap.]

If it's all the same thing, with the difference being how people and worlds interact with it, then you're not using Imaginary energy to power your abilities, but rather whatever generic energy exists everywhere.

[Suggesting that Imaginary energy isn't imaginary. It's simply the basic fuel of the universe. Called different names by cheeky people. He's gonna argue this purely out of sticking it to Ratio now. Yes, Bakugo IS that petty. Sue him.]

But if there is a difference, the question's valid.

[CRACK!]
