Why Deku FAILS as a Protagonist (and Gohan Is Underrated)

Only the villains are slightly interesting

And he wasn’t even the main character!

I’m gonna guess none of you realize what kind of person Izuku has grown into by now (2024) and would still have this pointless argument even after EVERYTHING Midoriya has been through in the entire story. The kid literally DESTROYED his own OP Quirk to save the world

@@asterthehedgehog6861 Whatever man, just give me my fries.

And one more thing, Yuji is a kind guy but he doesn’t fit in that Typical nice guy MC category, because if you look at his encounter with Mahito, he was out for blood to kill Mahito.

Chi chi did not force gohan to become a scholar he wanted that himself

@@Sasugoat yeah I know but the anime Eng dub makes it look like that. The anime jap dub and the manga had Gohan wanting to become a schooler by himself.

Exactly!! You’re so right! There’s so little pushback in the comments about Bang Reshi blatantly lying about Deku’s first heroic act in the show.

Mofo be defending the most badly written character of the decade dawg. Think about all the things you could've done instead of writing this longass paragraph. And also why did the show make it seem that the pro heroes weren't doing anything? The show did that just to set up deku as the reckless altruistic messiah hero, that's just bad writing bruv. They could've showed deku being heroic in other ways but they had to just pull the good ol "the pros don't do anything" cliche. Also literally everyone in the show has a heart bruh so why isn't everyone liked and idolized and loved like deku is? And no, him being quirkless was not important at all in fact now he has way too many quirks and is now the OP chosen on protagonist. And even if MHA said that being reckless and charging ahead is the key to being a hero doesn't mean MHA is right you goofy NPC. That's just the writer trying to gaslight you into thinking the character is so good and altruistic whereas he is actually just a useless dumbass. This video was too right, y'all 9 year old mofos just don't want to admit it.

Like why didn't he just make a Gohan video, I hate it when people do this, they always trash on something just to make another thing they like look better and it pisses me off, like where did Deku even come from, legit get went from Dragon ball to My hero academia, how does that make any sense??

Deku actually understood that,in the manga He actually wants to save shigaraki,who he understood his traumatised he is. That doesn't mean he won't kill him if necessary I feel like you people judge without knowing everything

dont worry he is traumatized enough in the manga and probably will be more. yall just need to wait, the realization is kicking in. i mean, he literally changed to a whole new person in the manga. i think he realized it already.

Read the manga

@@cordell999 lmao no

​@@jesseweneedtofast bruh the manga is good

Dude, he literally equals him in all things (themes, meaning AND presentation) with his fight against Muscular alone; the only difference is that you couldn't insult him with your pity because he didn't pathetically lose and ridicule himself and his unsupported Martyr Complex ideology against Big Sea King; he is JUST as determined to save EVERYONE and even has the EXACT SAME impulse to charge in and fight the villain; yet he wins more often and is smarter and more efficient and has done more rational and logical things so it's an instant disadvantage; also, being given some real power in order to be a hero anything else but name, in order to actually save abuse victims from violent psychopaths instead of just encouraging her from afar with a stupid bike helmet on; pff, okay, dude And then, he saved YET ANOTHER abuse victim (Shouto) : the point of that fight was that, with what was needed to change him, Deku was the only one to get him to change; which was pretty cool And with what he's caused to Bakugou passively and accidentally is pretty impressive and speaks volumes of the impact of his REAL, ACTUAL power & growth that Rider never has; nobody really remembers the latter, neither in the story nor in the fanbase; Deku, on the other hand, in the context of Bakugo

@@nicholasleclerc1583 Nope, Mumen Rider and Deku are completely different in terms of meaning, in terms of their perspective of what it means to be a hero and their judgements. Mumen rider is simply and embodiment of what it means to be a hero, he is the symbol of JUSTICE, extremely brave, loyal and honorable hero who refuses to overlook any crime, no matter how minor or insignificant it may be, or back down from any fight, no matter the opponent. He is incredibly determined and never backs down, even at the cost of his own life. He is perfectly willing to give his own life if it means protecting innocent people from evil, even when it is clear he has absolutely no chance of success. He seems aware that he is weak compared to other heroes, and doesn't feel that he is worthy to move up in class because of it, but he is still more than willing to take on opponents that the Hero Association sends out for A-Class heroes or above, if only to buy the stronger heroes time to arrive. This shows his selfless concept of self-sacrifice, and how he is willing to go the extra mile, as seen when other C-Class heroes were seen running away from the Deep Sea King. He is very passionate about justice. He is shown to greatly respect people who save him, as seen when he mails Saitama a letter that he initially tries to compose, but quickly crosses out and finishes with a quick "Thank you!!", afterwards asking the owner at the oden bar he was eating at to give Saitama his best serving. Similarly to Saitama, Mumen's heroic deeds are very pure, especially having some sympathy towards villains who seem to have a human heart left in them and appear to be misguided towards a wrong path, such as Bang's former disciple, Garou. Even though he has been insulted by the Tank Topper Army and several other higher ranking heroes, Mumen doesn't mind. He is also perceptive enough to see what Saitama's true abilities actually are during their first encounter. He has high expectations of heroes and does not believe they should commit dishonorable deeds. An example of this belief is when he's talking to Charanko in the hospital; when telling Charanko about Saitama and learning of Saitama going to the Super Fight Tournament, he assures Charanko that Saitama would never break the rules to enter in Charanko's place since he is a hero. This could be interpreted as naivety for believing that no heroes can commit selfish deeds. In many ways, Mumen Rider is a foil to Saitama, Mumen Rider has none of the perceived strength required to be a superhero, and yet he has the immense drive and willpower to be one, while Saitama has all the strength he could need to be a hero, but none of the enthusiasm that the Mumen Rider has. Remember Deku is GROWN to be the next All-Might. *Deku is the next symbol of PEACE.* Izuku is a very timid, reserved, and polite boy, frequently overreacting to abnormal situations with exaggerated expressions. Due to yeаrs of being looked down on by Katsuki for lacking a Quirk, he is initially portrayed as insecure, tearful, vulnerable, and non-expressive. These traits are especially present around Katsuki, who also constantly harangued him for his aspirations to become a hero. However, after being accepted into U.A., making new friends, and facing Katsuki during the Battle Trial Arc, Izuku gradually matures into a more confident and brave person who's always eager to prove his worth as a hero, eventually developing strong leadership skills, which combined with his passion and strategic abilities, have turned him into a central figure within Class 1-A alongside Katsuki. Deku is Izuku appears to have a more brash and abrasive side to him, which typically shows up when he finds himself in combat. This side of him makes him act more like Katsuki, being rather loud and unwavering, and also with a strong drive towards victory. He claims that this is because he sees Katsuki as the embodiment of what someone who strives for victory should be. He has also admitted that he doesn't like this side of him very much and tends to keep it in check. He does, however, find himself giving in to this almost feral rage when in dire situations and faced against opponents who had brutally hurt people he cares for, like in his battles against Overhaul and Tomura. Yes, there are some similarities between their sense of justice, their Persona, their actions, their behavior but they are not the same. They fight and protect for the world that lies ahead for them in the future

yeah I once said I like the ship hisogon and everyone told me to k. y. s. but when I told them they're being toxic they said don't lie just cause I'm mad and I should be more nicer

Inconsiderate and unthoughtful comment. Fair point if you keep a narrow-minded view of the factors involved in his reactions and decisions though.

@@jadorianpaul120 like it is said in the video you become a hero out of a need not out of a want. He could still help people by becoming a police man, a fire fighter, works as support in a hero agency, join the commission. But Deku only wants to be a superhero, have powers. It is like helping people isn't Worth it if he is not in a flashy custume, showing off flashy powers. Deku is not entitled to be a hero. It is not because you want something that you are entitled to have it

@@proffjosue1970 Lesson 1) Nothing is ever black and white. There will always be a mix of intentions in every decision someone makes. I won't deny there is definitely that part of Deku that wants the power and the game as a hero. But reducing it to only that is incorrect Deku shows time and time again a willingness to out his life at the line for someone else. It has been stated in the show that he shows way more heart for preserving life than (as opposed to Bakugo) making sure he is able to come out on top. So already your argument against him has holes. Let's go to before he received the powers as well. He was working to gain entry to the best hero school WITHOUT a quirk. His thought process in this was never (until All Might came along) that he would gain a quirk or be given something so he would become superpowers like everyone else. He wanted to be trained to help protect people in the best school and to make due with what he had. You and so many others disregard all of this in order to appeal to a claim that Deku only cares about the game and power. But there is definitely much more to it than that

@@jadorianpaul120 like they don't train people in the police academy. Applying to UA was delusional. And in his first meeting with All Might, All Might ecohed my sentiment. Deku was being delusional. He refuses to accept the truth. He can't be a professional hero and he is in denial of that fact. If his desire really was to help people, if the root of his desire was really to help people he would have looked for other ways to be a hero. Compare this to something like sports you might want to be a professional athlete but if you don't have the talent you will never make it to the top of the game Look the failure of his mother and of society is making children feel like being a hero is the only thing that is worth doing in life. That if you are not a hero you are nobody. That if you don't have a quirk you are nobody

@@proffjosue1970 Ok I kind of see what you are saying and it is a fair point. However I am still a bit stuck on the idea that in order to truly want to help people, he has to have it in his head to follow any path, such as being an officer. To try to use an analogy like you have, I feel like that would be like saying someone who wants to fight to provide food to all of those starving in Africa should instead be willing to become a doctor and treat their illnesses or something, because that might be more realistic (maybe bad example but the meaning should be clear). Being an officer and being a hero...they help in different ways. And just because there is an alternative way to help someone doesn't mean that person can't still want to help those people in a specific way. That is the problem I see. I don't think it makes sense saying he doesn't care about helping people just because he doesn't want to do it in the way you said. It disregards every action we have seen from him and belittles the exact impact on lives he hopes to have.

"deli" LMAO

"Hopelessly"

There is a very stark difference, and he explained it perfectly

Also Deku is just straight up pathetic. He constantly praises the guy who made his life hell for being quirkless and gets his ass beat by him even after getting OFA. Luke WTF??!! He can defeat the villains but not bakugo? Fr i think he likes getting his ass beat like bruh

Deku's entire character is about heroism and showcasing it when he leaps into save bakugo its because his legs move on their own that was the whole point of the scene you're lying to urself if you think the hero's had that shit under control what the hell even gave you that idea the guy had a hostage and was using him against the heros and even his quirk then deku rushes in distracts the guy by throwing his bag at him and gets bakugo free enough to breathe and with that small opening deku gave all might and the inspiration deku gave all might it allowed him to swoop in and one punch the villain without any casualties also the whole recklessness deku showcases is literally the biggest part about his character's heroism hes willing to protect people nomatter what happens to him thats the point he does nto care how many bones he has to break or even if he dies and this thought process came from growing up watching nothing but tv hero's seeing how hero's are on tv and not the reality of it because hero society covers it up deku was born admiring these fake lies he was told by the media and wanting to become them deku gaining the quirk was through his own hard work and dedication I mean the whole point of the series since day one was not all men are created equal and we see bakugo with a quirk beating up deku because bakugo was born superior because deku was born inferior to everyone else he cant physically become as strong as everyone else its been the main theme of the story until he meets all might who changes this by giving him a quirk that makes him stronger than everyone else if they were to become dekus equals it would ruin the entire point of the not all men are born equal as one for all showcases why they arent born equal also what lack of a tragic past? he was constantly looked down apon bullied and harassed by everyone around him knowing hes inferior to everyone else as a 4-year-old he was quite literally helpless a minority in the world that nobody cared about hes constantly reminded time and time again he cannot be anything great and that hes suppose to be some background character him not being able to be a hero is a reminder that he is worthless and useful even his name deku is a reminder I mean hes 4 years old ofc hes gonna cry thats just inhuman he doesnt have to have his entire family slaughtered with a demon sealed inside of him to cry thats just stupid it was a scene of a 4 year old looking at a computer realizing he will never have a chance of comparing to what hes seeing on the computer you think dekus life was objectively ideal? bakugo had an objectively ideal life and he kept shoving that down dekus throat every single time he bullied him im starting to think you just dont watch the show at all and ur just a clip watcher his motives to save people all came from being viewed as worthless he thinks as long as he can save someone then he wont be the useless worthless deku he was suppose to be its why he says instead of being the worthless deku bakugo called him deku was going to be the name of a hero someone who can save others you're comparing 14% out of 300 million people to 20% out of the entire fuckin world do you realize how stupid that is and even then black people to this day face oppression and have to spread awareness and are looked down upon for something they cannot control now imagine that but hundreds of times worse and even then nobody is outed as a racist or is cancelled because they make fun of quirkless people this mf deku is getting harassed everyday for being quirkless and not a single person does anything about it that was honestly just a stupid argument deku thought mirio would be a better user than him was literally due to his bullying and harassment as a child he still finds himself as worthless or below mirio and feels that if mirio had his power he would be 100 times better at saving people than he would when mirio becomes quirkless deku literally offers mirio the quirk and mirio says he doesnt want it the whole point of the series is that quirkless people cannot become hero's so a quirkless side character ruins the entire narrative of the show im fully convinced u made this video just to cope with the fact u keep seeing people bring up dekus character im so glad the fans dont write my hero because clearly you dont know what you're talking about at all deku and gohan are 2 different characters also saying gohans insecurities come out in battle but not dekus is actually hilarious when dekus entire troup of hurting himself and being reckless is literally due to his past and insecurities u brought up gohan getting hurt deku literally breaks his bones in every fight tf deku vs muscular we see deku at the very beginning of the fight had gotten his arm broken so he had to fight the entire time with a broken arm and then he even almost died and accepted death because he thought he held off muscular long enough to save kota Gohans power has been a huge burden to him just like deku because now they both feel the responsibility of living up to their idols gohan has the pressure of saving the entire world from cell while deku has the pressure of saving the entire world from all for one because he knows for a fact hes the only one that can its why we get the vigilante arc because everyone around deku keeps getting hurt the result of all of the things hes been burdened with come out in the form of dekus vigilante arc im not saying gohans worse or better than deku im saying you're cockriding the shit out of gohan like straight up meat riding the shit out of him please actually read my hero and stop making this rant about how gohan is "better" than deku also wtf was the entire point of the video if u were just gonna shit on deku in the anime then bring up how much better he is in the manga when the manga is literally just showcasing the out come of what horikoshi has been building up dekus character to for so long

The more glaring issue here would be that the whole 10 months training was done in 1 episode. There practically never was the time to show the struggle and pain he went through in proper way, in order to cement the fact that he did have the willpower to become a hero, even if he did not train prior, coming off as "undeserved" in the process when in reality, what Deku objectively did cannot be compared to vast majority of the population at hand. So the issue here is how it is portrayed, and it generally falls in the line of grander issues surrounding the pacing of the entire show.

​@@zaconmacon565 Well I mean, to me, it feels like Deku deserves One For All, but I'm not being biased. I can see why you say Deku does not deserve One For All. But Deku has the heart of a hero and was willing to sacrifice his life to save anyone. Plus, Deku is always brave and never backs down from a fight. I do agree however that Deku should've trained from the beginning since he was young. Like Asta from Black Clover.

@@zaconmacon565 But that's exactly what happened. Deku proved himself worthy of the quirk, then he spent months to train his body for it, which even after that he could barely control it. If what u means was Deku receiving his quirk too easily, well most people had a quirk already and Deku spent most his life quirkless. Not to mention that if Deku didn't prove himself that very day to All Might, he'd just be gone and he'll never see him again. Every story needs an inciting incident to get the plot moving.

No one was willing or against him. They just told him to rest and fight again. Did you even read the manga,or just watched one or two pages

@@user-ey8mj4tv2p You address my interpretation of the manga rather than actually addressing the point at hand, and leaving a corny message alongside. Characters based on ideals are compelling when they set aside their well being for their ideals, and with that, there should equally be consequences. Giving Deku a few scars and occasionally saying he will suffer permanent damage with continued usage that has yet to ever be brought up again is not a consequence for holding significant stored power in his hands. Guts is a better example where he suffers a loss of senses from his use of the berserk armor and is likely to become an entity rather than a human if he continues fighting, yet he continues. It's not even self destruction, it's the willingness to persevere against any obstacle that stands in the way including their own limitations. That's what Deku lacks, he has no real limitations.

exactly, if Batman were truly the crimefighter he thinks he is, he would willingly sacrifice his "I won't kill anyone" bullshit in order to kill the Joker and spare the lives that nutcase is going to end, all because batman wants to feel good about himself? it sounds selfish Trigun forces Vash to kill someone to show him life isn't squeeky clean, you don't get to hold onto unrealistic standards of morals especially if you're a super-capable alien who has no understanding of the fear and strife of your average Human even if you coincidentally get through life without having to sacrifice morals that's still a terrible example for others, who can't hope for such luck all the time being heroic *means* sacrifice for the sake of others not meaninglessly breaking your hands which you're going to heal anyway.

​@@user-ey8mj4tv2p You're really corny bro

He is constantly reprimanded for his total lack of self-preservation and reminded that he will permanently lose his arms with that sort of behaviour

Nah he would’ve killed himself

No that would never happen. Cause he didn't have the confidence in himself.

It's nothing bad if he is with a hero with powers You don't have to take it that he was meant to be a hero without powers. He is a hero who wasn't born with powers but earned his powers

Batmans rich dekus middle class plus in this world u need a quirk and even then ur quirk has to be some type of good one deku even tried to not use his quirk but he eventually had to use it everytime

@@nikamoreillus661 Please answer this for me. Why didn'r deku tried to train his body when he learned that he was quirckless he was four years old sure but if he still wanted to be a hero, after a month or two he should've gone to a gym or a place that teaches martial arts because even the police get some form of training. So learning some martial arts could be really beneficial to him on his journey. Sure you could say that CQC won't be that efective against strong quirk users, and i somewhat agree to that but not all villains are overhaul, shigaraki, afo most vilains in japan aren't that strong if you watched s2 when stain met with shigaraki he beat his and kurogiri mostlly with his CQC, so he can beat s1, s2 and s3 shigaraki. Deku could team up whit someone really powerful and we know that deku is smart so he could think of some stradegies for them we saw aizawa body like 30-50 people in sesone 1 with CQC and those bandages, sure he used his quirk to erase others's quirks but some have Heteromorphic quirks but he still beat thier asses so he has no real reason to stay sad all the time.

....they were standing around to to control the crowd and dumbasses like deku who would rush in and get themselves killed. They have to secure the civillians first before they go in to fight the villain.

@@lesshumanmoredead They literally say that none of their Quirks are suited for the situation, and lament having to simply wait for another hero who *is* suited for it

Plenty of garbage dropped back then also more so than now actually

@@arbit3r360 are you smoking garbage

@@mrelitists7751 have you rewatched most anime’s from that time period again or are you just wearing rose tinted glasses? A lot have aged poorly

@@arbit3r360 The garbage from back then isn’t being praised like this garbage

@@slump9304 people still worship Naruto so cap

Yes exactly

Even though people don’t think that???

Critism is fine but it has to be unfabricated, unlike alot of this guy's. Like i agree with the part about Deku's thing with Bakugo but everything else is reaching. Like how his One For All is OP but comes short in multiple situations and struggles many times (Muscular, USJ Nomu, Todoroki, 70% Shigaraki, Stain, ect) and how Gohan's a better character. Even if you wanna stick to Teen Gohan he still doesn't wanna take Goku's mantle as protector of Earth and make time to train, even when he has more potential than Goku (same case with Goten who has even more potential. He went Super Saiyan as like a 7yr old like it was nothing)

@@kindasomeviews A lot of this guy's videos seem to be a bunch of arrogant hot-takes. It's the unfortunate state of this website.

He calls Deku, of all people, who was more loses basically more than any other Shonen protag in number; and who makes another wave of haters call him a "crybaby" for crying just one too many times, no matter what else he does, and that it made him permanently "annoying" or "scared" their stupid-ass heart for some reason and staining their character for the whole series, even after c. Ch 250 onwards... Yeah, no, his criticism sucks. It happens. And I'll be the first one to be disappointed by te sub-par animation and the contrived _post hoc_ rationalizations of Deku getting OFA over Mirio and such; but you guys are high-demand, goalpost-shifting difficult little brats : Deku isn't too "optimistic" or "simple" for talking the way that he has; you haven't really listened to his fucking speech really

DBZ Is great and one of the best anime’s I’ve watched but it can be a drag at points and even boring as well. The large portions of characters just powering up themselves or a blast can be irritating . Peak anime is more like chunnin exams/ sasuke retrieval arc, attack on titan first 3 seasons 😂. Heck I’d take the overhaul arc over the cell games any day.

​​@@presidentialkingdom2201really? i think you just don't like old animation plus dbz has it's own story dbz is the anime that inspirated authors to create animes like naruto, one piece bleach and many others powering up? Maybe in dbs is a problem but in dbz there are only 3 types of super sayian not that much

@@presidentialkingdom2201 overhaul over cell games? Could you explain why, I’d like to know

@@junk_bot_man6412 personally I enjoyed overhaul arc more. The pacing was better. Less exposition and more fighting. Story was easier to follow without the different timelines and alternate characters. I thought overhauls goal was more interesting than cell or Gero. The animation is way better in mha Obviously due to time differences but better regardless. I was more invested in the characters in MHA at that point honestly. Just my opinion.

@@presidentialkingdom2201 fair

true

Oh yeah and bakugo got away with attempted murder in the heroes vs villains test 🙄

Things really have changed far from that And yeah that was a flaw, and you need to make a mistake to make a great redemption. Just watch the current manga

Did you even watch the show??? Deku's main character flaw is a direct product of Bakugo's bullying towards him

Villain Deku.

so the bad unforgivable guy is super realistic and cool but the good guy isn't. It's like that bs 'the 19's were so much better back in my days' or 'what is this hogwash they are making it was so much better back then'. Just cos you don't get it ur way doesn't mean its bad.

@@zakiahmed6655 All For One might have been a bad example if we are talking about being pure goodness and absolute evil. Since the whole point of AFO and OFA is them being complete opposites to the point of being only good and only bad. But I was referring to All For One, despite him admitting he is nothing but evil, having some philosophic speeches. His feelings and actions are for evil, but his mindset and thought process are pretty much objective. But yeah, I do not like these two as character images either.

@@Tapo4kEK-the-slut-slipper still I couldn't really relate to AFO. Granted he was evil and all but there's something missing. He barely does sh8t. Remember pure villains that scared the frik out of the mc's? Well I don't get that from AFO. Felt like he wasn't a threat to Deku. The reason OFA (all might) was interesting was that he had problems and fears. He felt like the real mc. Deku just has no fears and real threats. Not much on OFA himself too. Not one huge scary scene.

@@zakiahmed6655 I did not say that these characters are "relatable", but, okay?

@@Tapo4kEK-the-slut-slipper I don't think I said you did?

Gohan was missed potential bro

Gohan was nice though

Without power deku wouldn't have been anything. He never would have met any of his friends what are you talking about?

@Cartoonist Weasel deku has stood up to bakugo in both these encounters, he doesn't have to yell back if he fights back.

Deku with powers isn't bad He is not meant to be a charcecter to be a hero without powers,he is a hero who earned his powers

Did u just say deku not being a underdog😑😑bro bakugo literally walks over deku as the mc plus it’s fucking with my mentality as a human being seeing a 2d being bullied’like bro they’re’s always gonna be a scene where bakugo is treating deku like his lil bitch and I don’t wanna here a deny cause I’ve been keeping up on the latest manga that why I’m dropping it

@@shadagoat4500 I ain’t say Deku wasn’t a underdog cuz he is 💀 not only does his have to catch up but also Train himself to use his ability without destroying his body like Naruto which is what I said 🧍🏾 also Yeahh bakugo does go hard on Deku he’s like that for everyone but I feel like you kinda missing bakugos development 💀he talks a lot sure but he also cares about Deku and even almost died for him during the war 💀 also Deku matches him in skill in fact probably stronger now bakugo sees someone he’d never j though would be stronger then him surpass him with the help of all might who they both aspired to be. It’s straight jealousy for him which is why why talks so much shii 💀 he just didn’t want to be outclassed and after revealing one for all to bakugo they got much closer plus how u ganna say you keeping up but dropping it especially since bakugo has been pretty tamed with everything going on 💀

Dawg deku is supposed to be a quirk/hero nerd but the mf took him nearly 2 seasons to realise he can use his legs in combat💀 he shoulda remained quirkless

@@silverprimus321boi9 do you even know that those two seasons only took place weeks apart?

@@rannie-potatoe033 still for a smart character hes dumb as fuck if it took him like 4-6 months After getting ofa to use his legs

@Reinhard von Lohengramm to be fair none of the heroes assisted bakugo in that incident. And honestly you can't blame deku on that one, how was he supposed to know such an incident would happen? Even qllmight pussied out and stayed in the corner. Mumen riders case was different, but he was way dumber, for one if he knew an s class couldn't kill that creature why would he rush in? Anyways there both dumb

Deku is a chosen hero like Shazam ,and mha is not about being a greatest hero or a great hero. It's about how worthy and well you can use and be worthy of the power as well as it's responsiblities

​@@user-ey8mj4tv2p MHA is garbage lmao

Not even close and both are good except rock lee peaked after 1 moment when he fought Gara

@@darkwinter2009 Cry for me queer

he changed it because and i quote "It would be unrealistic for him to keep beating stronger villains despite having no powers."

@@mikerueffer579 exactly, and Izuku was only analytical. He never had any skill with gadgets like hatsumei. That’s why I kind of like koichi from my hero vigilantes more because he had an ok quirk that he developed to a strong quirk.

@@megaavonaco9954 Agreed series would have been way better if Deku had the same quirk as his mother. Not too powerful but lot's of potential for growth and creative use.

Strange thing is that the VH arc kind of does that but it ends so quickly

@@mikerueffer579 no way, lol MHA is more about how well he handles being chosen hero and the responsibilities

Ikr, that's a question no one wants to answer, I think he would not have... He didn't have the confidence to train. He's like the opposite of Asta, who kept training even before getting his power. Asta starts off better than Deku.

​@DanDan • 1001 years ago true deku should have trained before all might recognised

@@Jonathan-tw4xm Yea he should have, he would have turned out to be even stronger. But I know he couldn't because he was too depressed.

​@@UNLIMITED-DANalso there should be a quirkkess character in the group that always trains

@definitlynotbenlente7671 Yea that would be interesting
