His character is the most balanced, realistic and relatable in the series. :yeshrug:


Yes, he’s not “cool”, “badass” or “edgy” like most anime characters that casuals fawn over. But he’s a standup guy that works hard and has the qualities to be a good hero. The side characters need to be extra af, otherwise they wouldn’t stand out with their limited screen time.

Put some respek on Deku’s name.:ufdup:

Breh don't even work hard. Dude out here buying upgrades now for the EZ win. Supposed to be 200 IQ but had to be guided towards realizing that legs can be used for kicking. People saying he's inspirational.... but does Deku even have friends? :leostare: Hard to tell.
You ain't say how many seasons:russ:

You said which one was better

Nikka you fulla shyt
Nah, you missed what I said off the bat - and I quoted myself again in response to you - and then I took that as an opportunity to further expand upon my point.

MHA's animation at its low points is still above average. Not only that, it has maintained a level of consistency at a pace that's unmatched and has kept it up for years now. Even One Punch Man capsized. Its a fact that its one of the sturdiest, high quality productions in the business and will continue to be.

The character has no ingenuity, he's still trying to be All Might. Every other character, even the bums, have to figure out how to make their Quirk their own. Using strange abilities to cover weaknesses and accentuate natural strengths, meanwhile your main character is just trying to Xerox the #1 Hero down to stealing the names of the moves. There's not an original bone in his body.

His main selling point at the outset is that he's a fanboy of ALL heroes and knows about each one's abilities but it's a byproduct of him not having one of his own. So instead of incorporation of that element into his style, he abandons it almost entirely once he gets One for All & his life goal becomes emulation without crippling himself.

Wow. Truly innovative. :beli:

This dude has the audacity to step to Endeavor on how to be father when his single mother is at home hearing about how he almost died every week

Dude loves (his mental image of) All Might more than his own mother :scust: If people only knew about this fraud Deku then everyone would be treating him like Bakugo does

Mirio isa great character but some of yall are severely underrating the fact Deku started this series as fukking quirkless. Think bout how big of a deal it is that the in


universe version of Superman chose his successor based off of heart, Mirio is a hard worker but end of the day he worked to make his quirk useful to become a great


hero while Deku was an "untouchable" as far as hero culture dictates he knows both sides more than anyone we've seen ( besides Shigaraki :patrice:) hes been weak


and given strength and despite that his attitude towards heroes hasnt wavered. He still wants to save people regardless of power which is why All Might chose him, its


easier to say u wanna help when u have a perceived wack quirk instead of no quirk at all. Also the hate toward him being an All Might Stan is dumb because hes



been that since day 1 damn near the entire world are stans :wow: or have a lot of emotions towards him. Deku is a young teenager obviously hes gonna be


naive toward certain evils of hero culture but he still pushes forward and thats the most incredible thing bout him. People say Asta is better when both are incredibly


similar as perceived rejects of their perspective series but power on regardless to achieve their goals.

which is crazy to me because hes a rare mc for a shonen series this popular like I love my meatheads like Luffy, Yusuke and Yuji but characters like Tanjiro and Deku

are needed and are done well

I like Deku because he isnt a meathead

And because hes kind of soft

Hes so pure too hes always helping people out like when he helped Todoroki confront an aspect of his trauma in the sports festival or choosing to fight Gentle

solo so that the concert for Eri wouldnt be cancelled :mjcry: some of his best moments are non combat related which is important cause its a precedent anybody


can follow regardless if u have a quirk or not the embodiment of Plus Ultra :blessed:

He ain't *anything* enough is the problem. Dude is the worst Mary Sue in the game right now. The bytch from Twilight got more direction and purpose than Deku does.

Yal giving him props for shyt he hasn't done or thing he's done the opposite in comparison to people in his own series

He wants to save lives. Ok. How come he's not making special moves that are deliberately for rescue operations like some of the others in his own class :ohhh:

He's about the culture, but when All Might shows Deku that he has demons and regrets time and time again, does he ask? :mjlol: fukk all that. We good with the top 10 All Might moments.

Deku = Lil Bow Wow in Like Mike

1.) Mirio was born with a Quirk that literally broke his own Father and his dreams of becoming a Hero because of how impossible it was to master. His Father passed down a Quirk that could kill him upon activation. As a child, he could have died each. time. he used it. Compare the millions of times he's faced literal death trying to get a handle on his power, WITHOUT A MENTOR or any sort of guidance, prior to even getting into UA with Deku. Now flip the difficulty level to 100 to turn that same Quirk into one that makes you a Top Hero Prospect at the most prestigious School and a hair away from being All Might's successor.

All Might said he would have given it to Mirio if he hadn't ran into Deku by accident. So all the qualities you listed as reasons Deku was chosen also apply to Mirio and he's a harder worker, with greater character that actually makes the people around him better. He makes them laugh, they look up to him, he makes them strive to be better, & even after losing his Quirk & his Father figure he's more upbeat and energized than Deku with One for All.

Mirio is a better character. Period.

2.) Asta was also born without powers in a world where even the lowliest peasant has some magical ability. In Deku's world there's still a percentage of the global population that doesn't have a Quirk. In Asta's, it's unheard of, so he's born into a worse situation off rip.

Despite this & without even the parents Deku had, Asta never wavered. Ran the fade with whole adults as a kid, chased MILF nuns, & took on his prodigal foster brother as a rival all without any abilities. He also trained his body physically to the peak in anticipation of achieving his goal and once he finally got his book, he put all that built up hard work to use. Deku hadn't trained a day in his life until All Might handed him power.

If he had Asta's drive, he wouldn't be crippling himself because he would have prepared his body.

Try again. :unimpressed:
