I read every message in here because while wataching the show I said the exact same thing as OP, I wanted to see opposing viewpoints to see if I was tripping but nope. Deku is a trash man character, hes just too soft to be believable, they never show him trian, its like he hasnt evolved at all. He is relying on his powers that were given to him and even thats not enough, he still needs everyones help to win..
He hasn't suffered any meaningful consequence for his recklessness outside of a stern warning.
He beat overhaul with a cheat code too
Deku has no interests, no hobbies, no people he truly cares about, no principles outside of "be a good person", doesn't even demonstrate some sort of love for his mom in any meaningful way, feels some completely absurd justification for preaching to people he just met, and is insecure as fukk. He doesn't even have pride in what he's accomplished himself through bullshytting and being handed powerups that even his role model has no access to.
He's a fanboy.
He reps his childlike interpretation of what All Might stood for. He doesn't even acknowledge that All Might had to catch bodies either and work outside the lines to protect the present day peace - that he's never bothered to scrutinize even once btw.
He be doing the dumbest shyt, and noting ever happens to him, he hasnt shown any traits of a "no.1 hero, he is literary being given everything and so far he sucks at being a hero
He’s way too soft. I can’t take the constant crying and shyt.
He cries once an episode it seems like, and has no backbone.
You're a degenerate if you don't respect Deku, he's a wholesome character that embodies what it means to be a true hero
that gift describes him perfectly, a damn crybaby, thats his super power, i mean "quirk"
He doesnt constantly cry tho
Yall making shyt up
except for thats all he does,
His character is the most balanced, realistic and relatable in the series.
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.
To be the MC and the no 1 hero, i expect you to have one of those traits, or be hard working or obsessed with getting better. this dude has shown any real progress and thinks he can do whatever he wants because he has "good intentions" thats dumb..
He has no qualities to be a good hero, he justs thinks because he is obsessed with all might he knows what it takes but he hasnt shown he knows anything but how to cry and break his arms
